SLAUGHTER, Lucien P. 1835 - 1913

Montrose Recorder, Montrose, Henry Co, MO, Friday, Jan 24 1913 - Lucien P. 
Slaughter died at his home in Kansas City Saturday night Jan 18, 1913 after an 
illness of several months. The body was brought to Montrose for interment, and 
laid to rest in the beautiful cemetery west of the city beside those of the family 
who had gone before to the land of rest. Funeral services were held in the 
Cumberland Presbyterian church in this city Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock 
conducted by Rev. G. W. Petty the pastor, the services were attended by many of 
the old friends of the deceased and his family, although the inclement weather 
kept many away. Lucien P. Slaughter was born in Virginia, March 30, 1835, he 
came to Missouri when a small boy.  He was married at Otterville, Mo., in the year 
1860.  To this union were born six children five sons and one daughter, one son 
and the daughter died in infancy.  He is survived by his wife and four sons all of 
which accompanied the remains of their beloved to this city from the home in 
Kansas City.  Mr. Slaughter and his family lived in this city many years going to 
Kansas City to live about 8 years ago, where his sons had gone several years 
before and had established themselves in profitable employment and they 
persuaded him to move there also.  For many years before going to Kansas City he 
had suffered from asthma, and for a time he thought the change to the city helped 
him but for the last couple years he has been suffering more, old age and other 
complications hastened the end and he is now at rest.  The family were among our 
best people and enjoyed the highest respect and esteem of all.  He was a 
carpenter and joiner by occupation and was one of the finest workman ever in our 
city - He was a member of the A.O.U.W. from the time of its start.  He was a 
member of the Baptist church while in this city, and his life was in harmony with 
the teachings of the good book.  To the bereaved wife, his companion of over half 
a century, and his sons we offer sincerest sympathy in the sorrow of the paring, 
but rejoice that he is at rest free from sorrow and pain.
