Volume 44, Number 19
ED VAN BUREN DIED MONDAY.
A message received late Monday night told of the death of Ed Van Buren, 82, at Osawatomie. Fred Vance went to Osawatomie immediately to bring the body to Neodesha for burial.
Mr. Van Buren's death reduced the number of surviving Civil War veterans to an even dozen and a half. He had not been a member of Humphrey post of the G. A. R. for a number of years, being of retiring and unassuming disposition and not greatly given to social diversions.
Edward Job Van Buren was born April 15, 1845, in Oswego, N. Y. where he lived until he was 9 years old when he went with his parents to Peoria, Ill. Here he was educated. Later he moved to Pekin, Ill. From where he enlisted at the age of 18, in the Union army, on the 2nd day of June 1862, in Company K, 68th Regiment Illinois Volunteer Infantry, for a period of three months. He again volunteered at the call of President Lincoln for a 100-day period, enlisting on the 5th day of May, 1864, in Company C, 139th Regiment, Illinois Volunteers, and was honorably discharged October 28, 1864 and returned to Pekin for a short period until he moved to Liverpool, Illinois.
On March 26, 1878 he was married to Emma Oliver at Liverpool, Ill. They continued to live there about three years when they moved to Canton, Ill., where they lived until 1881, when they came to Kansas, locating in Neodesha, where they lived and made their home until Mr. Van Buren's death, May 9, 1927.
There were four children, all of whom survive. Mr. Van Buren was a plasterer and was well known as a good workman in the community. He was a great reader of history and kept posted on all national affairs.
The following survive him: His widow, Mrs. Emma Van Buren, of 308 Indiana street; two sons, William and Charles; and two daughters, Mrs. Bess Holbert, of Wichita, Kas., and Mrs. Mary E. Adcock, of Greenfield, Tenn.; one sister, Mrs. B. Whitehead, of Colorado Springs; six grandchildren, and other relatives and friends.
Funeral services will be held this afternoon from Meineke's chapel at 2:30 o'clock. Rev. R. E. Gordon of the Methodist church will be in charge. Burial will be made in the Neodesha cemetery.
