S. EDGERTON DEAD
Sherman County Man Passes Away at
Burr Oak, Neb.
News reached Goodland this week that Samuel Edgerton, who, on account of his feeble health left this county a few months ago to make his home with a son living at Burr Oak, Neb., died Thursday, December 11. Mr. Edgerton was more than 80 years of age, and was a fine old gentleman.
Before he departed from Sherman county where he had been living for a good many years, he sold off all his stock and personal property on his place, three miles northwest of town. Recently he sold his farm, which was a well improved and valuable possession.

Article From an Adams Neb., Paper on Death of Sherman County Man.
The newspaper published at Adams, Neb., has the following to say concerning the death of Samuel Edgerton, late of Sherman county.
"Samuel Edgerton was born in Ohio
February 25, 1825, to Thomas and Mary Edgerton. While he was yet a babe his parents removed to Grant county, Ind., where 19 years later (1844) he was married to Miss Winny Lytle, who came with her parents from North Carolina. Father Edgerton was converted at the age of 17 and united with the Methodist Episcopal church in Grant county, Ind., where he was an earnest worker, class leader and Sunday school superintendent for eight years. In 1852 he moved with his family to Fremont county, la., where he joined the Wesleyan Methodist church and remained a member for eight years. Thirteen years ago he came to Goodland, Sherman county, Kan., and there united with the Free Methodists, and although, nearly 'three score years and ten' he endeavored to make his last days faithful in his Master's service. Some three months ago he was stricken with paralysis, which was the cause of his 'taking away.' In October he came with Grandma to Adams, Neb., in order to be near his son, William Edgerton, our townsman.
"At the opening of the war of the rebellion although over 40 years of age, he joined company twenty-ninth regiment Iowa infantry and served his country three years.
"Grandpa has lived a consistent Christian life. He has ever held up Christ at home and in church and his children have been own for God.
"Eleven came to bless the home; only six of these are still living, all of whom followed him to his last resting place. William Edgerton of Adams is the oldest, Mrs. Thompson of Newton, Ia., Francis Edgerton of Hamburg, la., Elmer Edgerton of Alton, la., Samuel Edgerton, Jr. of Hamburg, la., and Mrs. Winny Elmora Herbold of Newton, la., are those who mourn their father's departure from this world. Numerous grandchildren and twenty-four grandchildren are living. Grandpa passed quietly to sleep Monday, December 11, 1905, at 1 o'clock and was interred in the Highland cemetery, December 13, at 12 p.m. 'Verily, his works do follow him.' We extend our sympathy to these who mourn, and especially to Grandma, who has thus lost the companion of 61 years."
