With deep regret the Herald notes the death of A. E. Squire, one of Chariton's oldest and most highly respected citizens, which occurred at his home in west Chariton on Tuesday evening, August 13, 1907, at 9:30 o'clock.
For many years he had suffered intensely with rheumatism, but was able to be about. On Wednesday of last week he went out to the C. B. & Q reservoir to fish and was overcome with the heat. He was taken ill and inflammation of the bowels resulted, which caused his death.
Funeral services, conducted by Rev. N. Evans, under the auspices of the I.O.O.F., of which he was a member, were held at the M. E. church this afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, after which interment took place in the Chariton cemetery.
Alfred Edwin Squire was born in Springfield, Ohio on February 22, 1846. When sixteen years of age he learned telegraphy. When a young man he went to Beaver county, Pennsylvania, where he was married on April 8, 1871, to Miss Jennie Hunter, who survives him.
The same year he and his bride came to Ottumwa, Iowa, where he remained only three months and then moved to Garden Grove. The resided there until November, 1872, when they came to Chariton and this place has since been their home. He was a dispatcher for twenty years and then left the service and engaged in the restaurant business. For several years ill health has prevented him from engaging in any kind of work.
He never affiliated with any church but had a preference for the M. E. denomination and frequently remarked that with him all was well.
Mr. and Mrs. Squire were the parents of three children, Grove, of Ashland, Nebraska, Carl, of Lacona, and Mrs. Stella Callen, of Murdo, South Dakota. These sorrowing ones, with the mother, have the deep sympathy of the entire community. Two half sisters, Mrs. E. L. Hamilton and Mrs. Ollie Haley, of Sedalia, Mo., are also living.
Mr. Squire was a man who possessed many excellent qualities. He was kind, of a genial disposition, and made warm friends of all with whom he came in contact. The news of his death will bring sadness to many hearts.
