Falconer will not preside as he has passed on into another land. "Scotty" Falconer was truly a pioneer of this section, having spent more than forty years in Roger Mills County. Here it was he came as a young bookkeeper for a large cattle company, here it was he later established his own ranch, here it was he homesteaded, here it was he found his bride, here it was his two daughters were born, here it was he returned in July after a sojourn of a little more than a year in the west and here his remains willbe place to rest beneath the sod of the country he helped to develop. Cosmo Falconer was born in Aberdeen, Scotland, October 31, 1867, died in Elk City, Oklahoma, December 28, 1931, at the age of 64 years. In 1895 he was married to Maud A. Moser and to this union two children were born, Mrs. Gus Bostrom, Marjorie of Ketchican, Alaska, and Mrs. Homer Swindall, Katherine of Venturia, California. Besides the wife and two daughters there are also four grandchildren to mourn his loss, together with a host of friends. "Scotty" Falconer, during his long residence in this section has engaged in various occupations. After he sold his ranch on Sourdough creek north of this city, he engaged in the drug business, later he studied photography and ran a studio in Cheyenne. During the hectic days of Cheyenne, when the C.& O.W. Railroad extended its line from Butler to Strong City, and the citizens of Cheyenne built the Cheyenne Short line connecting with the C.& O.W., Scotty Falconer was selected as the man to manage the little railroad. He not only was general manager but also served as conductor and station agent. The time spent at the occupation enumerated, represent only a part of hiss residence here. He served the people of Cheyenne as postmaster for twenty five years, having resigned in May 1930. As post master he became acquainted with every person in the community. His long service with the post office department bespeaks his efficiency as well as his popularity. "Scotty" was accomplished in the art of cartooning. In the earlier days his cartoons were run in the Kansas City Star. He also wrote cow-boy feature stories with cartoons from his storehouse of expenience as a cowboy, for the Cheyenne Star. Of late years he has written poetry, especially for the amusement of his grandchildren of whom he was very fond. These poems were reproduced in the Star several years ago. a few days before his death he wrote a poem entitled "One old timer to another" which he passed to the editor of the Star and which will be reproduced in the near future. Mr. Falconer became ill last May at San Simon, Arizona, on his return trip to Cheyenne and never recovered. Most of the time after his return in July was spent in bed, however he became well enough to make a few trips to town. His serious illness lasted only a few hours. He suffered from a complications of disorders, but died from uremic convulsions. No man ever apprecited his friends more than Cosmo Falconer, and no man was more capable of being a real friend than he. He had that faculty of knowing his friends, and was always on the alert in looking to their interest. Once he became a friend of a man, he always aremained a friend-station in life had nothing to do with his friendship. He liked man because of their virtues and his keen insight of human nature prevented him from making mistakes in the selection of those he chose for his close friends. The editor of the Star has been associated with "Scotty" Falconer for about forty years and claims it as an honor to have had him as a close friend for many, many years. We bow in sorrow, and mourn with the bereaved in his passing. Funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at 2:30 at the Methodist church in htis city. The Masonic Order of which he had long been a member will conduct the funeral rites. Burial in Cheyenne Cemetery, Cheyenne, Roger Mills County, Oklahoma. (Cheyenne Star December 31, 1931)
