LANGDON ------------------------------------------------- Prominent Real Estate Man, Long a Resident of Pueblo, Succumbs – Funeral Will Be Held This Afternoon [sic] After a lingering illeness [sic] which has confined him to his bed for three months, Anthony J. Langdon, one of Pueblo’s most prominent real estate men, passed away yesterday morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Morris Crum, 426 west Ninth street [sic]. Mr. Langdon was 62 years old last September 8. The funeral will be held this morning at 9:30 o’clock from the Sacred Heart Catholic church, and in keeping with a desire of the deceased, the mourners are requested to bring no flowers. Father T. J. Wolohan will officiate. The deceased has been a member of the Sacred Heart church for many years, and was a member of the Knights of Columbus. Mr. Langdon is survived by his wife, Margaret Herron Langdon, his daughter, Mrs. Crum, two brothers, J. J. [John J.] Langdon of Pueblo, president of the Pueblo Abstract company and T. W. Langdon of Omaha, Neb., and two sisters, Mrs. John Davis and Miss Nellie Langdon of Omaha. The deceased was born in Springfield, Ill., September 8, 1847, and as a boy of 12 years, in 1859 removed with his parents, brothers and sisters to Sarpy county, Neb. Those were in the days before railroads crossed the western plains, and the trip was made overland in a prairie schooner. The Langdon family settled on a farm and the children grew up there, the sons engaging in farming and cattle raising. A. J. Langdon married Margaret Herron of Omaha in 1878, the wedding being celebrated at the Catholic cathedral in that city. In 1891, A. J. Langdon retired from the cattle business in Sharpy [sic] county and followed to Pueblo his brother John J., who came here in 1884. Here the deceased engaged in the real estate business and invested quite heavily in Pueblo realty. He was a shrewd, conservative dealer, and his advice as to real estate values and prospects was considered sound and reliable. Decline Is Gradual Early in June of this year Mr. Langdon became ill and was confined to his bed with a complication of disease. From that time he gradually declined in health and for several days prior to his death it was realized that the end was near. The deceased is an uncle of Deputy District Attorney Laurence Langdon and deputy clerk of the District Court Genevieve Langdon.” [Parents of Anthony J. Langdon were Patrick and Catherine (nee Thomas) Langdon.]
