John Agnew, one of Saline country's first settlers, died today at his home at 855 South Santa Fe avenue, at the age of eighty-five years. For many years Mr. Agnew was a prominent farmer residing near Falun, and had gained the respect and honor of all that knew him. The last six years of his life he had lived in retirement in Salina, cared for by his wife and daughter.
John Agnew was born in Ireland in the year 1825. Emigrating to America, he settled first in Canada, moved to Iowa, and came to this state in 1869. He came to Salina before the Kansas Pacific railroad was built, when what is now Salina consisted of nothing but a few tents.
His wife, Mrs. Mary Agnew, a daughter, Mrs. Minnie Spencer, and an adopted son, John Agnew of Falun, and several grandchildren survive him.
