E.D. Eddy, 75, Passes Away
Death Occurs In Chicago; Will Be Buried In This City.
E.D. Eddy, about 75, pioneer druggist in Arkansas City, died at his home in Chicago Saturday, according to message received here today by friends of the family and by T.B. Oldroyd & Sons, undertakers. The body will be brought here this evening. Services will be held at Oldroyd's chapel at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning and burial will be at Riverview cemetery beside the body of Mrs. Eddy.
E.D. Eddy was one of the best known and highly respected citizens of this community. He opened the first drug store here in 1870. For more than 30 years he was in business here. After retiring he moved to Chicago, where he has since made his home. His wife died there several years ago. She was at one time one of the leading singers in Arkansas City. Her maiden name was Sherburne. She was a sister of J.H. Sherburne, at one time mayor of this city.
Weathered Many Storms
Mr. Eddy was a prominent member of the First Presbyterian church here for a quarter of a century and was an elder in that church.
Coming here in the very early days of the city, he was the first druggist here, and with the late C.R. Sipes, the first hardware merchant whose place of business was located where the Al G. Wright hardware store now is, saw all the ups and downs of Arkansas City, then a wild border town surrounded by Indians and buffalo. Mr. Eddy remained however and weathered the storms of a business life and the many adversities which come to those who settle up in a new country, and when he retired from business here, he was well to do. His store was located just south of the Sipes hardware store, from 1870 to about 1900. F.O. Thomas, now in the drug business here for himself, was at one time employed in the Eddy store.
Daughters Are Coming
Mrs. Bertha Eddy Brown, of Chicago and Mrs. A.W. Thomas, of St. Paul, his daughters, will accompany the body here, according to messages received. Two sons, also survive Mr. Eddy. Their addresses are unknown to the Arkansas City friends of the family.
The funeral will be in charge of the Oldroyd's. Services will be conducted by Rev. W. Bryson Smith, a local retired Presbyterian minister.
