Death came to E. T. Lanman, the Civil war veteran and highly respected citizen, Monday at his home on West Kansas avenue, this city. The passing to the Great Beyond was as peaceful for him as a child going to sleep. Until the last, however, he appeared cheerful and perfectly conscious of things that happened about him. Telegrams were at once sent to his absent daughter and son, Mrs. Ida Mosher of Hartford, and Theodore Lanman of Hobart, Okla., respectively and they arrived in time for the funeral that was held yesterday afternoon in the Baptist church. The pastor, Rev. J.B. Sims, preached the sermon. Burial was in Fairview cemetery.
Elias T. Lanman was the second son of George and Sarah Lanman, parents of thirteen children. He was born in Perry county, Ind., March 30, 1839 and died at his home in Smith Center, Kan, May 19, 1919, at the age of 80 years 1 month and 19 days. When his country needed him in the trying days of the Civil war he enlisted in the 81st Indiana infantry and it was while in the service that contracted ills that afflicted him the balance of his life. He was married to Mary Robertson, March 5, 1863, and to them were born four children. One of these, Mrs. Anna Goble, died in the spring of 1897. The three others are Mrs. Ida Mosher, Hartford, this state; Mansfield of this place and Theodore of Hobart, Okla. The family moved to a farm two miles south of this city in 1885, and the deceased lived there until 1897 when he and his wife moved to this city. Mrs. Lanman died in Oct. 1905, but Mr. Lanman continued to live in the home until his death. He had been a consistent and loyal member of the Baptist church for nearly half a century, and was square and liberal in all his dealings with everybody. At the time of his death he was still the owner of the valuable quilter section of land south of town as well as an eight in the near vicinity and considerable personal property. Besides his daughter and two sons he is survived by two sisters, one brother and several grandchildren.
