Lancaster An Old Resident of Vinland Passes Away George W. Lancaster, a farmer of the town of Vinland, about a mile and a half north of the insane hospital, died Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock, after an illness of twelve days, during which he suffered excruciatingly from pneumonia and heart disease. Deceased was born in Augusta, Me., in 1825. On arriving at manhood he married Angeline Rollins, who still survives him, and in 1869 moved to this county, and has ever since resided here, either in the town of Oshkosh or the town of Vinland. He was a brother of the late Mrs. S. S. Keese of the town of Oshkosh. One daughter and two brothers reside in California, and these, with his wife, are the only family relatives that survive him. Mr. Lancaster was a man of liberal education and high moral character, a man of firmest integrity and scrupulous honesty. He was a kind husband and indulgent father, a good neighbor and upright citizen. He was from that good old New England stock whose impress is indelibly left upon the choicest phases of western rural civilization. His death will be mourned by a large circle of acquaintances in this vicinity. The funeral will be held from the residence on Saturday at 1 o'clock.
