W.A. Aikman died Sunday, December 16, at two a.m., at his home on South Main street, of general debility.
William Allison Aikman was born in Laurel county, Kentucky, January 27, 1828 and was married to Miss Martha Graves of Madison county, Kentucky, November 6, 1854, who still survives him. To this happy union were born seven children, four of whom are living. They are Judge G.P. Aikman, County Attorney, C.L. Aikman, and C.A. Aikman, of this city and J.S. Aikman, of Denver, Colo., all of whom were present during his last illness.
Deceased came to Butler county December 22, 1871, locating near Towanda, being engaged in farming and stock raising until three years ago, when he moved to El Dorado. Before coming to Kansas he was in the drug business in London, KY., twenty-five years, and during the Civil war he was in the employ of the government in capacity of manager of the government post at Pittsburg, KY. He was a profound student of history and well posted on all subjects.
Mr. Aikman was a Butler county pioneer, a good all round citizen and neighbor, a devoted husband and father and will be greatly missed. He was a member of the M.E. church but during his residence here he attended the Christian church.
The funeral services were held from the home, Tuesday at two p.m., conducted by Rev. S.W. Brown and the remains were interred in the east cemetery. The Masons had charge of the body at the grave.
