Eskridge.
J.K. ESKRIDGE was born in Hancock County, Indiana, January 5, 1845, and died
September 15, 1922, aged 77 years, 8 months and 10 days. In young manhood he met
Eva A. DEAN, a young woman of the state of his birth, and they were married in
the year 1864. To this union were born ten children; one son died when nine
months of age; a daughter died at the age of 22 years; and one at the age of 30
years. This family came to Kansas in the year 1876; coming from Indiana to the
state of Nebraska, and from there to Kansas and located on the farm west of
Meriden, where they have resided for 44 years.
Mr. Eskridge was a loving father and an obliging neighbor, helping those in need
of help. His hospitality was unbounded, he was a son of the soil, being an
industrious farmer. His death was due to apoplexy and Brights' disease.
Thus the home ties are broken and one by one we slip away from the earth life
and its cares, going to our maker and our God. 
The aged widow, of 75 years, a daughter, Martha RICHEY, of Nyssa, Ore.; a son,
James R. Eskridge of Charleston, Wash.; George Edgar Eskridge, of Fort Bridger,
Wyo.; a daughter, Susan CUNNINGHAM, of Nyssa, Ore.; Mrs. Zada PLAISTED of
Meriden, Kan.; and Ellery, the youngest son of the home address, with other
relatives and hosts of friends are in sorrow because of the passing away of this
good man who lived such a long and useful life.
