DEATHS
—Another of the early settlers of Chenoa has been removed by death, Thomas Sandham, who had been in feeble health for years and for the past four or five years had been a great sufferer, and whose death at any time would have been no great surprise. He died quietly and peacefully at 8 o’clock Sunday evening. He was aged 68 years and 19 days. He had a complication of diseases, bronchitis and Bright’s disease. He was born in Pennsylvania, and moved to Dayton, Ohio, when quite young with his parents. He was married to Miss Nancy Swallow at Little York, Montgomery county, Ohio, March 13, 1836. He moved to Danvers, Ill., in 1855, and in 1858 came to Chenoa, where he has since resided. He was a very active and staunch republican and took an active part in national and municipal political affairs. He filled various offices of trust, was elected town clerk several years and was township collector fourteen years to the satisfaction of all. His widow, six daughters and one son survive him.

—The funeral of Thomas Sandham was largely attended in Chenoa Wednesday afternoon. He was buried with Masonic honors by Chenoa Lodge 393, A. F. and A. M. The Masons met at their hall and formed a procession at one p. m., under the direction of S. S. Chapman, marshal, and J. Ballinger, assistant marshal, and marched to the late residence of Mr. Sandham, and escorted the remains of their departed brother, his family and relatives to the Baptist church, which was filled to overflowing. The singing was by a quartette composed of Miss Mary Cotter and Rosa Pendleton, and Messrs. Warren M. Fales and E. M. Pike. Rev. F. M. Smith, pastor of the Baptist church made the opening prayer. Rev. J. A. Allen read a portion of scripture. Rev. D. W. Burns, pastor of the M. E. church, made the second prayer, and Rev. J. A. Allen, pastor of the Congregational church, preached the funeral discourse and made the closing prayer. An opportunity was then given to view the remains, when the procession again formed and marched to the cemetery east of the city, where the body was deposited in its final resting place, and the beautiful and impressive Masonic burial service was delivered by P. M., Noah H. Pike, acting W. M., assisted by Dr. J. H. Thomas, as chaplain, and the brothers deposited the sprig of acacia on the coffin of their deceased brother. The procession was again formed and escorted the mourners to the residence of Mrs. Sandham and then to the lodge room. A delegation of Masons were present from Lexington and Towanda.
