"UNCLE GEORGE" CLOYD DEAD.
An Early Settler In Sumner and Cowley Counties Passed Away in Texas Last Week.
George W. Cloyd, one of the old settlers of Southern Kansas, died at the home of his sister at Bruceville, Texas, last week and his body was brought to Cedar Vale for interment. Mr. Cloyd removed to Texas only about six weeks before his death, having sold his farm in Southeastern Cowley county, near Cedarvale, on which he lived since 1882, and bought a farm in Texas to which he moved. The cause of his death was congestion of the brain. Although nearly 78 years of age he had always been in good health and strength and 9 hours before his death he was feeling good and was in jovial spirits.
"Uncle George" Cloyd, as he was known to nearly all Kansas friends, was a Kentuckian by birth, was a Mexican war veteran, having entered General Scott's Army for service in Mexico when he was but 18 years old. In 1861 he enlisted in the Confederate army, at Monroe, Ky., and served until the end of the Civil War. It was in 1879 that he came to Kansas, locating first in Sumner County but moving to Southeastern Cowley three years later, in 1882, and residing on this farm until late in 1905. Four children survive him, L.N. Cloyd and Mrs. R. A. Nelson near Cedarvale and two sons who live in Kentucky and Washington respectively. The wife died a number of years ago. Mr. Cloyd had many friends among the old settlers in Arkansas City and vicinity, who will regret to learn of his death.
