Death of Ed J. Rancier
Prominent Citizen of Killeen and a Confederate Veteran – Heart Disease is Cause
Killeen, Tex., Aug. 5 – Ed J. Rancier, aged 69 years was found dead in his room early yesterday morning of heart failure. He had always been an early riser and when he failed to appear at the usual hour he was called, and, not answering, the door was opened. He resided in Belton for more than fifteen years, also in Gatesville for many years, since which time he had made this place his home. He was a Confederate veteran, having served through the entire war; also was an Indian scout, serving many years in the service of the Texas Rangers. He was one of the old landmarks of Texas, and a pioneer known over many counties. He was a grand man and very popular with not only the old Texans but with all who knew him.
He is survived by Will Rancier, president of the First National Bank of this pace, also of three State banks of Texas; Sam Rancier, cashier; Mrs. Dr. W. A. Gault, recently of Beaumont, but now of Pidcoke, and Mrs. Nell Mosely of El Paso.
His remains were interred in the City Cemetery yesterday afternoon, funeral services being conducted by Elder A. J. McCarty.
