--Jesse Kanatzar Dead-- Jesse Kanatzar died at the home of his daughter, Mr. Ernest Niemann, near Benton City, Sunday afternoon January 17th of illnes incident to old age. His last illness began in July and he gradually grew worse. He was 71 Year of age. Jesse Kanatzar was born in Kentucky June 24, 1843 and moved to Centralia about 33 year ago, making this place his home up to five years ago, when he went to live with his daughter, after the death of his wife here. He was married to Miss Cyrene Frances McBride, October 30, 1873. To this union were born six children four of whom survive, viz: Mrs. C. E. Nieman, of near Benton City; Mrs. Hattie McIllroy of Tucson, Arizona; Mrs. Anna Kelly, of near Benton City and Foster Kanatzar, of New York. One sister and three brothers also survive him. His wife passed away five years ago. Two boys died in infancy. Mr. Kanatzar was a soldier in the Lost Cause, having enlisted when a boy. His experiences in the army and afterward in the military prison where the Confederate soldiers were imprisoned in St Louis, were many and varied. He being the youngest of the company, was a general favorite and on one occasion when he refused positively to give any information as to the leaders in an attempt to escape, he was applauded by the Federal soldiers and the officer was forced to acknowledge that the boy was nobler in refusing than he had been in demanding the information. He at one time opened up a photograph gallery here, we think it was in 1884, and conducted the business successfully for some time. At various times he had been connected with various industries in our city and always kept his friends because he was more fair to them than to his own pecuniary interests. Mr. Kanatzar united with the Christian Church early in life and had led a consecrated Christian life ever since. He was a man true to his God, true to his family and friends and true to himself. His devotion to his invalid wife up to her death and his reverence for her memory were touching and were characteristic of him. We knew him for many years and we esteemed him as a friend of rare worth, his unselfishness and rugged honesty made one love him and won for him a host of good, warm friends. Funeral services were conducted Monday at Unity Church, two miles from Benton City, by Rev. McLaughlin, of Illinois, after which the remains were brought to Centralia and interred beside his wife.
