E.A. BANGS
APRIL 15, 1904
Edward A. Bangs, for over forty years engaged in the mercantile business in Chatsworth, died suddenly at his home in Chicago on Sunday (April 10) evening. For a number of years Mr. Bangs had been subject to heart trouble. Four or five weeks prior to his death he suffered a severe attack which almost caused his death, and on Sunday evening he was taken suddenly very ill and died shortly afterward. Financial troubles, the death of his son, Frank, in the Spanish-American War, and the death of his brother, Charles, and his sister, Mrs. Whitmore, within the past year had caused Mr. Bangs to fail rapidly within the last few months.
Edward A. Bangs was born in St. Lawrence county, New York, December 13, 1835. He came to Illinois with his parents in 1850, and lived in Lake county the major portion of the time until 1861, when he came to Chatsworth. From that time until he retired from business in February, 1902, E.A. Bangs was one of the best known and leading business men in this part of the county.
In February, 1863, he was united in marriage with Miss Harriet E. Esty, two sons being born to the union, Frank, who died in the Spanish-American War, and Gay E., who resides in Chicago. He was married a second time in December 1877 to Ann M. Crumpton, of LaSalle county. One son was born to this union, Hal C. Bangs, also a resident of Chicago.
Mr. Bangs was a strong republican and was a familiar figure in republican gatherings, being a generous contributor to the cause which he advocated. During his long residence here he filled many offices of trust. He was an active member of the Masonic fraternity and in religion was a staunch spiritualist. In the fall of 1902 Mr. and Mrs. Bangs moved to Chicago, where they have since resided.
The remains were brought here on Wednesday, funeral services having been held in Chicago, and the remains were laid to rest in the family lot in the Chatsworth cemetery.
Those from out of town who were present at the burial were the bereaved widow, Mrs. Anna M. Bangs, and two sons, Gay E. and Hal C. all of Chicago; Mr. and Mrs. H.M. Bangs and daughter, Gladys, of Lewiston, Ill.
