Funeral services were conducted by Elder EVANS at the Christian church Monday afternoon and interment was made at Mt James Cemetery. J M PRIEST was born at Wellsburg, Brooke county, West Virginia, August 21, 1830 and was 83 years, 3 months and 1 day old. He was united in marriage to Mary Jane ALLEN, March 30, 1856. To this union, five sons and four daughters were born, and of the number, the sons and two of the daughters are still living - one dying in infancy and one at maturity. He leaves also his wife and one sister, Mrs Eliza INMAN, who were with him when he passed away. The sister is the last one left of his family. Mr PRIEST came to Kansas in 1869, and has lived here ever since, with the exception of one year spent in Texas. He joined the Christian Church at the age of seventeen, and remained faithful until the end. He was a kind old man, beloved by all who knew him. He was a kind husband and indulgent father. May he rest in peace. CARD OF THANKS We desire to thank the many neighbors and friends for their loving aid and sympathy extended us in a time of need. Mrs J M PRIEST and children.
