At his home in Liberal, at 8 o'clock A.M. Sunday, June 21st., Solomon S. DUBOIS, of Inflamation of the brain. Brother Dubois was born Feb. 6th, 1837 in Franklin Co., Indiana. He was married May 12, 1860 to Eliza Kennedy who with their three sons survives him. He moved from Indiana to Fargo Springs in the Spring of 1886 since which time he has lived in the county. He became a member of the Masonic Order when a young man and has always taken pride in making its tenets his rule of action. He cherished a fervent hope of a happy immortality. Death for him had no sting an dhis grave is robbed of its victory. Some months since brother Dubois had a serious attack of La Grippe, since which he has suffered repeated severe relapses, each succeeding one being more alarming than that before. Abscess of the middle ear resulted and extended to the brain with fatal consequences in 48 hours. Our community has lost a respected, honorable and honored citizen, his family the kindest husband and father, whose true parental love is the more clearly demontrated in this, that during the recent years of hardship and at times, almost want, he never allowed his Life Insurance to lapse, and now that he is gone his former thoughtful mind, kind heart and willing hand will continue to provide for the wants of those whose coming he awaits on yonder shore. He was laid to rest by the Masonic Fraternity, members of which were present from all adjoining counties to participate in the last sad rites and honor the memory of a brother who stands before his judge with a spotless apron and the designs on his Trestle Board in order. ==== KS-FOOTSTEPS Mailing List ==== File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/ks/seward/obits/d/dubois1839ob.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/ksfiles/ File size: 2.3 Kb
