Death of James Lingenfelter.
James Lingenfelter, an old citizen of Douglass, passed away on Wednesday last, the 7th inst., in the 82nd year of his age. Old age and kidney trouble was the cause of his death.
"Daddy" Lingenfelter was rather an old man when he came to Douglass about 25 years ago, but for a number of years was actively engaged in business. He was a member of the drug firm of Wise & Lingenfelter for a considerable time, the late Sol Wise being his son-in-law.
He was a native of Maryland, but came west in early life, finally coming to Kansas. He was an honest man, a good citizen, and no one was kinder or more attentive to the sick in the neighborhood.
He leaves an aged widow here at Douglass, and three sons by a former marriage in other states.
The funeral was held at the late residence yesterday afternoon, Elder Smith conducting the services. (The Douglass Tribune, Friday, Sept. 9, 1904. Submitted by Diana Herrman)
