Henry C. Lycan was born in Ohio, July 25, 1856, and departed this life at his home, near Golconda, Ill., April 7, 1926; aged 68 years, eight months and 28 days.
He professed faith in Christ at an early age and has since lived a conscientious life. He passed nearly all his invalid days reading his Bible.
He was united in marriage to Georgeann Anderson February 27, 1881, who remains to mourn his departure. To this union was born one son, Otto, who is still living. He also has left to mourn his death, a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ella Lycan; one granddaughter, Sylvia Lockerby; two great-grandchildren, Anna May and Nina Lee Lockerby; one half-brother, Austin Thompson, and a host of other relatives and friends.
Funeral services were conducted at the Palestine Church last Friday afternoon by Rev. C. L. Phifer, of Golconda, after which the body was laid to rest in the Palestine cemetery. A very large crowd of friends and neighbors was present to pay their last respect to one who had lived in their midst for so many years, attesting the fact that he was a good neighbor and a friend to all who knew him.
Card of Thanks signed by Mrs. Henry C. Lycan and Ottis Lycan and Family.
