Edward Hotchkiss, a resident of Burlingame for twenty-eight years, died at his home Monday morning, January 15th, at 2:00 o'clock. Mr. Hotchkiss was [nearly] eighty-one years old and had been in very poor health for six months past.

He was born at Carronshore, near Falkirk, Stirlingshire, Scotland, in December 1831. In 1855 he was married to Miss Margaret Penman who together with four sons and four daughters survive him. They are: Neal, Alexander, James, Edward, Jr., Mrs. Rebecca Foster and Mrs. Anna Wilson of this city; Mrs. Mary Washington, of Columbus, Kansas and Mrs. Margaret Sharp, of Scammon, Kan.

Mr. Hotchkiss worked in the coal mines in Scotland until August 1884 when he came with his family to Burlingame, and this place has been his home continuously since. He was the father of ten children, two of whom preceded him to the eternal home beyond. Besides his own children, he leaves fifty-three grandchildren and thirty five great grandchildren, making a total of ninety-six living descendants. The funeral was held at the home Tuesday, January 16 at 2 p.m., conducted by Rev. Schaible of the Presbyterian Church, after which interment took place in the Burlingame Cemetery.

Mr. Hotchkiss was a good citizen and good neighbor. He bore the enviable reputation of always dealing squarely and honestly with his fellow man. He worked hard all his life, or until afflicted by age and infirmities. He has gone to his reward. Peaceful be his rest.
