Death of F. G. Lombard, one of Waverly's Prominent Citizens.
Last Wednesday evening, at about 7:30 o'clock, Mr. F. G. Lombard, one of our most prominent citizens, died very suddenly at his home in the south part of the city. He had been in ill health for some time past from a complication of diseases, which was aggravated a few days since by the appearance of rheumatic symptoms, and while the family had fears he would not recover from the combined forces at work on his system, it was not dreamed the end was so near. At no time was he confined to his bed, and but a short time before he expired he had been talking in a pleasant mood with his son Frank who had arrived from Kansas City, Mo., that morning. While the community at large was aware of his precarious condition, none were prepared for this sudden termination of an active and busy life.
Francis G. Lombard was born near Havre, France, December 25, 1831, and was 68 years, 6 months and 3 days old when he died. He and his brother, Felix Joseph Lombard, came to this country when quite young, and finally located in Waverly, where they engaged in the wagon making business. On May 12, 1856, he was united in marriage to Miss Margaret R. Harney of Franklin. To this union was born five children - tjhree sons and two daughters - all of whom were with him to his last hours, and with their mother are left to mourn the loss of a kind and indulgent father and husband.
Mr. Lombard retired from the wagon making business about twenty-three years ago, and since that time has been a constable for this precinct, an office he filled with ability and to the satisfaction of all, as proven by the successive terms he was returned to that office. In this capacity he formed an extensive acquaintance throughout the county, and probably no man was better known in Morgan county than "Gil" Lombard. He was a man upon whom you could rely when he had once given his word. In his business transactions he was strict to the letter,and never swerved from hi sense of right and justice. He will be missed by all. In all party councils he was a central figure, and his influence was strong. He was loyal to his friends but unyielding to his enemies, of whom he had but few.
Funeral services were held at the family residence at 4:30 p.m., Thursday, the Rev. W. H. McGinnis, of the Christian church, officiating, at the conclusion of which the remains were taken to East cemetery for interment, a large concourse of people being present.
