Death of Aged Man

Died, at the home of his son, H. L. Easter, in our city, March 18, Samuel T. 
Easter, aged 76 years, 2 months and 18 days. 

He served three years in the civil war, having enlisted in Company C, 19th of 
Ia. During his service he was taken a prisoner for ten months. Considerable 
history of the early days could no doubt be linked with Mr. Easter's career. 
He spent the greater part of his life in Iowa and Nebraska. Was for many years 
a member of the Methodist church of Chapman, Nebraska. 

He was a man of excellent habits fine moral character and sturdy constitution, 
but he is gone. Another name is stricken from the ever lessening roll of old 
soldiers and early settlers on the plains. His life work is done and well 
done. Few of us will live as long and as well and fewer yet will the Angel of 
Death greet with such a loving touch. 

Short services were held at the home of his son, after which the remains were 
shipped to Chapman, Neb. where they will be laid to rest. 

He leaves a wife, two sons and one daughter and several grand children to 
mourn his death.
