E.R. Pavey Answers Sudden Death Call

Sat Down to Rest From His Exertions and Quietly Passed Away

Yesterday afternoon between the hours of 2 and 3 o'clock the death summons called Elijah Pavey to that bourne from which no traveler returns.

Mr. Pavey had been feeling unusually well all day. Had eaten a hearty dinner and helped Mrs. Pavey prepare mince meat for some pies. Earlier in the day he had cleaned the snow and ice from the walks around the house. After dinner he sat down on the porch to rest. Some of the neighbors noticed him sitting there with his head thrown back as if asleep. He sat in that attitude so long they became uneasy and went over to see about him and found that life had been extinct for some time.

Mr. Pavey had been troubled with a slight affliction of the heart for a long time but no fatal result was ever anticipated. Yet this old enemy caused his death. No other cause can be found.

Elijah Randolph Pavey was born in Springfield, Ill., May, 1822, and came with his wife and family to Independence in the early days where he has since resided.

Mr. Pavey leaves a wife and four children to mourn his departure.

The children are: R.W. Pavey,of Kansas City, Mrs. Anna Richards of Kansas City, Ira Pavey, Kansas City, and Mrs. Kate Huston of this city. The relatives have been summoned and the funeral services will be conducted from his late home on Fifteenth and Main streets Monday afternoon.
