Thomas Oliver Seanor, eldest son of H. C. Seanor, late proprietor of the Winchester elevator, died in Richfield, Kansas, February 26th, within two days of being 24 years old.
Mr. Seanor writes from Geuda Springs that they received a dispatch on the 23rd that Ollie was very sick, and started from Arkansas City that afternoon, arriving at Richfield the next evening after dark. He knew them, and was able to converse with them, and retained his consciousness until near the end. He had a relapse of La Grippe, a severe cold settling on his lungs and producing hemorrhage, yet he never complained of pain. Richfield is 50 miles or more from the railroad. On the 27th, the stricken parents set out with the remains, and accomplished this long ride with the mercury below zero. On the evening of March 1st, they laid all that was mortal of their beloved son in the cemetery at Arkansas City. But they sorrow not as those that have no hope, and are persuaded that their loss is his gain. The hear the brightest testimony in the great kindness of the citizens of Richfield. Oliver had gained the confidence and friendship of all who knew him, and while he had not an enemy in Stanton county, many felt that they had lost their best friend.
