DEATH OF W. J. CARNEY
W. J. Carney, one of the best known citizens and one of the early pioneers of Lyon county, died Saturday at his home about three miles west of this city, on Sixth avenue. The funeral took place at this forenoon at 10:00 at Cottonwood church, the service being conducted by Rev. Parker of the Christian church of this city. The interment was made at Cottonwood cemetery. Mr. Carney came to this county in 1856, and has been a resident here ever since.
Mr. Carney was best loved by those who knew him best. A man whose word was better than most men's bond and whose life was absolutely irreproachable. His word, once given, was kept no matter what the cost. The later years of his life were enfeebled by sickness but through it all he maintained a cheerfulness that was remarkable and had a kind and cherry (sic) word for each friend though he was racked with pain. His devotion to his church was remarkable. Neither winter's storms nor summer's sun would keep him from church as long as he was physically able to attend and many is the time he and his life's companion have been seen driving in to town to church when the city people were cooped up in their homes by the elements.
The deceased had many friends who will learn of his demise with genuine regret.
