J. H. HINTON burial will be in Graceland Cemetery. Civil War Veteran And Former Business Man Passes Away J.H. Hinton, 85, one of the few remaining Civil War veterans in Lyons, passed away at 8:30 o'clock last evening, at the home on East Avenue South.  He had been critically ill for a week. Mr. Hinton was one of the best known of the older men in Lyons.  Altho entirely deaf, he let neither that physical defect nor his advanced age prevent his interest in affairs and in the people of the community.  Altho they could talk to him only through writing, he was a good conversationalist and chatted with nearly everyone he met, in a jovial way, which made for him many good friends. John Henry Hinton was born in Hamilton, Can., July 15, 1847.  When he was a boy of 12 he came with his parents to Illinois, and two years later, when he was but 14 years old, the Civil War broke out.  His father and other members of the family answered the call for volunteers and, despite his youth, he fell in line, enlisting as a private in Company G, 140th Regiment, Illinois volunteers.  Once thereafter he was discharged because of his age, but found a way to reenter and as a consequence served during most of the four years that the war lasted. At the close of the war he roamed around with an army "buddy" for a time, before finally locating at Kirksville, Missouri, where he married and reared a family. Later he moved to Rich Hill, Missouri, and 23 years ago came to Lyons from that place.  He entered the tailoring and dry cleaning business here, and continued at the work until seven years ago, when he sold the business to John Duke.He is survived by the widow, and three sons and three daughters by a former marriage.  The children are Elmer, address unknown; George of Coffeyville, Claude of Davenport, Iowa; Mrs. Bertha Wulf of Davenport; Mrs. Ethel Matkins of Davenport, and Mrs. Molly Chenowith of Galveston, Texas.  Another son, of whom he was particularly fond, passed away October 19 at Davenport, and news of his death was thought to have added to his final  illness.  There are also three brothers, Will, at Des Moines; James, at Gravity, Iowa, and Ed who resides in California. Funeral services will be held at 10 o'clock Saturday morning in St. Paul's Catholic church, with Fr. A. Mages in charge.  The funeral will be military, with the local American Legion post assisting, and burial will be in Graceland Cemetery. *** Jan (Wilson) Ramos

CHARLES  WARING DEAD
THE END CAME SATURDAY EVENING AT 10:45 O'CLOCK
STRICKEN WITH APOPLEXY LAST TUESDAY
AND NEVER REGAINED CONSCIOUS-
NESS - A GOOD SOLDIER AND A MODEL CITIZEN
Charles Waring died Saturday at 10:45p.m. of apoplexy, aged 85 years.  He was stricken last Tuesday and had been unconscious since that time. He was born in Walton, NY,  Nov 15, 1827.  He early learned the carpenter's  trade and went into business for himself  as contractor and builder.  In 1852 he bought a farm and made his home thereon until 1857. He came to Kansas in 1857 and settled in Manhattan.  During his first year's residence here, Mr Waring made a claim to a tract of  land across the Kansas [river] which he finally preempted. He worked as a carpenter here until 1862, when he enlisted in Co G, 11th Kans Inf.   The princial battles in which he took part were fought at Ft Wayne, Cane Hill, Prairie Grove, Van Buren, Lexington, Mo, and the Little Blue [river.] he and his comrades were engaged much of the time in driving bush-whackers out of Arkansas and Missouri and in June 1863, he was transferred to the headquarters band and with his regiment was sent to the frontier, where they took part in the battle of  Platte Ridge, Wyoming Territory, which was waged against 3,000 Indians, the contest lasting three days.  He was honorably discharged at Ft Leavenworth, Sept 20, 1865, having done his duty as a true soldier in all times and at all places. After the war Mr Waring came back to Manhattan and resumed his business as a carpenter, at which he continued until advancing age forced him to retire.  He was a member of A.F. & A.M., belonging to the LaFayette Lodge, No 16, and was also a prominent member of the G.A.R. Lew Gove Post, No 100.  These organizations conducted the funeral services, which were held from the Methodist Church at 2o'clock this afternoon, Dr Kimball officiating.  His old officer, whom he served under in the army, Capt Pearce of Junction City, came to be one of the pall bearers. Mr Waring is survived by a wife and five children.  Three sons, who are on the Pacific  coast could not be here to attend the funeral.  His daughters, Mrs Follette of Chanutte, and Mrs Mear of Eskridge, came with their husbands.  Mr Waring was a man of wide acquaintance and leaves numberless friends, especially among the old soldiers, who will miss him."
