"Pioneer Settler Gone. Samuel Eslick, for Forty-Four Years a Resident of this Vicinity Passes Away.
Another of the pioneer settlers of this part of Union county has gone to his final reward. For forty-four years Samuel Eslick has lived in and honored in this community but no more will his familiar figure be seen on the streets of our little city. A life that has been an inspiration and a guide to his associates - a record of thrift, honesty and upright living has come to a fitting close among the scenes of the greater part of his life. For the past three years Mr. Eslick has been in poor health but the greater part of that time he was able to be out and mingle with a host of friends made during his long residence here. Only a few days before his demise he was downtown and when, on Saturday afternoon it was said he wa no more, the sad news could hardly be believed. He had risen at his usual hour on Saturday morning and seemed to be feeling unusually well but several hours later was taken suddenly ill with an affliction of the heart and about one o'clock that vital organ ceased its efforts and his soul was wafted into that land from whose bourne no traveler e'er returns.
His death came as a heartbreaking shock to the faithful wife and other relatives who had gathered at his bedside.
Samuel Eslick was a native of Missouri and was born in that state on the 26th of February, 1847. At the age of six years he removed with his parents to Webster County, Iowa, where they resided for sixteen years. In the year 1869 he came to Union county and settled on his well known farm two miles east of this city, where he resided until eight years ago, when he and his wife retired from farm life and moved to this city. In the year 1884 he was united In marriage to Miss Louisa Davis. One child was born to them but the little one died in infancy. The wife, three sisters, Mrs. Blythe McGuire, Mrs. Willard Allen and Miss Rebecca Eslick, three brothers, Thomas and Willam Eslick of this city, and John Eslick of Dayton, Iowa, and numerous other relatives remain to mourn the loss of a faithful husband and a true and loving brother. It is not alone the realties who mourn his departure. He held above all things his duty to his fellow man and his honesty, square dealing and kindly and generous disposition has made him hundreds of friends who mourn as deeply as anyone his sudden departure. He has been a member of the Masonic fraternity for many years and it was only fitting that his Masonic brothers should conduct the ceremonies incidental to the placing of the body in its last earthly resting place.
The funeral services were conducted from the Methodist church on Monday afternoon of this week and the large auditorium was hardly large enough to accommodate the large number of sorrowing friends and neighbors who gathered to do the last honor to the one they had known and loved during the many years he had lived among them. Re. W.I. Beatty gave a brief but eloquent funeral sermon and the friends took one last opportunity to gaze upon the face of the one whose memory they had gathered to honor.
The remains were taken to the beautiful Elk Point cemetery, where, in the presence of the relatives and friends, the remains were assigned to the last resting place with the beautiful burial cemetery of the Masonic order.
The out-of-town relatives and friends who were here for the final services were John Eslick of Dayton, Iowa; Beed Davis of Geddes, SD; Mr. and Mrs. George Davis of Lehigh; Mr. and Mrs. John Huston of Ponca, Neb.; Robert LeGro of Ponca; Mr. and Mrs. H.M. Angle of Hawarden; Mr. and Mrs. Wash Green of Alcester; Mr. and Mrs. Langorgan of Burbank; and Mrs. Walter Simmons of Vermillion. The relatives, and especially the grief stricken wife, have the sympathy of all in their sorrow. May the God who 'tempers the winds to His shorn lambs' be with her and comfort her in this time of trouble and sorrow."
