Mr. Magner's Death Sudden

L.M. Magner who has been making his home with his daughter, Mrs. H. C. Rambo, living four miles south of Galesburg, received a sudden summons to the Mysterious realm Saturday forenoon, August 22 at 10 o'clock says the Galesburg correspondent of the Erie Record.

Mr. Magner was stricken about ten days ago with neuralgia of the heart but rallied and was under the physician's care until Tuesday, when he was dismissed.  Mr. Magner was feeling fairly well Saturday morning and was sitting on the door step when he fell forward and as he fell he called and his daughter and Mr. Rambo came to his assistance and with the help of neighbors carried him into the house, where he expired in a few minutes.

Lanville M. Magner was born near Orleans, Orange County, Indiana on February 11, 1837 and died Saturday morning, August 22, 1908.  He was married to Anna M. Taggart December 22, 1859 and to this union was born nine children, five girls and four boys, four children having preceded him to the better land.

He moved with his family to Kansas in June 1883, where he had since resided.  He united with the Presbyterian Church in early manhood.  He had fifteen grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.  His wife, Anna died just eleven months ago to the day.  He leaves two sons and three daughters and a large circle of friends to mourn his death.

Father Magner was well and favorably known in Neosho County, as well as in Wilson County, where he resided before moving to Galesburg.  He engaged in the general merchandise business in Galesburg for a few years, but again returned to the farm, which he sold later and for the past few years has made his home with his children in this vicinity.

The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Werner at the ME (Methodist Episcopal) Church Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock after which the remains were laid to rest in Mount Hope Cemetery in Galesburg, Kansas.
