Obituary

The corpse of William Godfrey, who was killed in East New Hampshire on the night of April 25, arrived here last Thursday at noon via Wichita. From that hour until 4:00 o'clock p.m. over 100 persons, who had heard the sad news, assembled at the home of the family to pay their last respects to the unfortunate young man.

Rev. W. Swartz conducted the services, after which the remains were interred in the Walton cemetery. The family of the deceased unites in extending their sincere thanks to the community for the deep sympathy manifested since the sad news reached them on the 26th. It was a sad Sabbath to them all.   (c) HCGS.  The Newton Daily Republican, Newton, Kansas.  Thursday, May 7, 1896.  Page 4.
