Obituary-Geo. w. Edgemon

George w. Edgemon was born
Oct 2S, 1S49 near Fayetteville, Ala,
and died at his home five miles
southwest Of Abilene Oct. 7, 1922.
His parents were Noah and Mary G.
Edgemon of Louisiana parentage. He
is survived by his wife, his daugh-
ter Ora, Mrs. Paul Lenhert and their
five children and one sister, Mrs.
Sarah Sanders of Abilene. Though
born an dreared in the traditions OF
the south his family remained true
to the union, enduring great priva-
tions and the terrors of guerilla war
fare for conscience's sake. In his
seventeenth year he went to Fayette-
vile, Tenn, remaining in the home
of Z. S. Townsend fifteen years.
Forty years ago, August 8, 1882, he
was united in marriage to Miss
LeOta l.. Brent at Fayetteville, Tenn.
In February, 1888, they came to
Kansas settling south Of the Smoky
Hill river, renting and later OWNING
several different farms, none more
than five miles from the first set
tlement There were hard times the
first twenty years for all. The COM
Portable home and well equipped
farm justifies Mr.. EdgemOn's faith
in the country in the development OF
which he took such keen pleasure.
No children coming to this union
Mr.. and Mrs. EdgemOn opened their
home and their hearts to an orphan
baby girl who gave to both parents
the love ond comfort of a daughter
and her home will now be shared by
her mother.
In the year 1908 Mr.. EdgemOn
was converted during services at the
Highland school house and united
with the Christian church at Abilene
being baptized by the Rev. Thomas
Malott. He believed in his church.
From the hours of his conversion he
never doubted the redeeming love
and power Of his Saviour, walking
in unison with his wife carefully and
prayerfully with the light upon his
way to the end. He was a loving
husband and father, providing as far
as possible for the comfort Of his
family after his departure.
The funeral services were conduct
ed at the home in the presence of
many friends, his pastor, Rev. Pack,
warm personal friend, officiating.
Burial was in the Livingston Genes
terry.

FREE SUPPER FOR BONDS
Milford Man Know How to Boost

stunt" that ]. Il. Brinkley OF that
town used Thursday night, October
10, when he wanted to get mass
meeting to induce the Milford people
to contract for 24-hOur electric light
service with the Rocky Ford Milling
and Power Company OF this city.
Doctor Brinkley is perhaps one Of
the best known figures In the medi.
cal profession I'm Kansas. He claims
to have discovered that goat glands
may be grated to cure insanity In
human beings. His hospital at Mil
ford Is renowned and through his
efforts Milford is becoming quite a
busy little center.
In the past, the town has had
small local plant which operated
about three hours each evening and
not more than fourth Of the houses
are wired for electricity. When the
meeting was held Thursday night In
the WOOdman Hall at Milford and
Doctor Brinkley presented the pro.
position Of securing 24-hOur electric
service from the Rocky Ford COM
pany, the $50 guests offered a bois-
ferrous approval and all promised to
put the special election across when
1t IL called for the near future.
Many an interesting story could be
told Of how small community has
secured public Improvements and
perhaps the most interesting in the
Milford case is contained in the post
ers which the committee put all over
town In advertising the meeting. At
the top in glaring headlines-"Free
