Edmund Anibal died Aug. 21, 1908, of Craig, Mo., aged 64, died at the home of his son, C.W. Anibal, of Craig, after a lingering sickness with an epthiolima cancer with which he had been afflicted for over fifteen years.
Edmund Anibal was born on Jan. 10, 1844, in Fulton county, New York. His father, Robert C. Anibal, was a native of the same state, and his mother, formerly Catherine Eglin, of New Jersey. Edmund was reared on his father's farm in Fulton county.
He was educated at the Jonesville Academy, and afterwards attended Union College, at Schenectady, for about two years. His is special studies were civil engineering and surveying. He came to Chicago in 1865, with his cousin, Thomas Eglin and taught school near Chicago during the winter of 1865-6.
In 1866, he came west, and for one year was engaged in teaching school at Hiawatha, Brown county, Kansas. In April, 1866, he came to Holt county, Missouri, and taught for 12 years, having had charge of but two schools during that time-in Bigelow, five years, and at White school house, which stood near the river, in Minton township, for seven years. (The old White school house is now used as a dwelling one mile north of Bigelow). During the years he taught, he served one term as county school commission. Also during that period he was democratic candidate for surveyor, once, and for sheriff once, being defeated each time by less than fifty votes, though the county was then "reliably" Republican by from 400 to 600 majority.
In 1877, he bought out James H. McLean's drug business at Bigelow and conducted it until 1889, when he formed a partnership at Craig with D.D. Perkins in the drug business, and later the two were also partners in the general merchandise business, conducting both lines together until Mr. Perkins' death on November 30, 1907, following which Mr. Anibal was appointed administrator of the general merchandise business, serving in that capacity until his own death.
Mr. Anibal was married, Nov. 12, 1869, in Holt county, to Miss Phoebe J. Hinkle. She is the niece of Henry Clay Hean?, and is a native of Virginia. They were the parents of five children, three of whom died in infancy. The oldest, Charles W., is the only survivor of the five children. The second, who reached maturity was Laura May, who was the wife of L.L. Teare when she died July 19, 1897. Charles W. was born Aug. 22, 1870, and Laura May, born Dec. 23, 1873.
Mrs. Anibal died June 29, 1903, at Craig and was buried in New Liberty cemetery beside her children, and beside there Mr. Anibal was buried Sunday, August 23.
Mr. Anibal leaves two surviving sisters-Mrs. Mary Beecher, of Gloversville, Illinois, and Mrs. Kate Brown, Northville, New York.
Mr. Anibal became a member of the Ancient, Free, and Accepted Masons in 1871, when he became a Master Mason at Forest City and retained his membership there till his death. He died a Royal Arch Mason, and had taken all the degrees of Odd Fellowship, but had allowed his membership in the order to lapse.
The funeral was under the auspices of the Masonic Lodge of Forest City, which attended in a body and officiated at the church and cemetery.
As a father and neighbor Mr. Anibal died greatly mourned and will long be missed.
