A Pioneer.
Calvin Street, aged 66, died at his residence in Cedar township, Kansas, Monday, July 4th, 1892, of paralysis.

His health had not been good for some years. Last spring he moved to Oklahoma but returned as he grew worse. Two strikes of paralysis brought him to the brink and death was expected.

The funeral occurred from the residence Tuesday conducted by the Altoona lodge A. F. & A. M. Elder Thomas Miller preached a short and appropriate sermon and the remains were interred in the Hatler cemetery after the rites of the lodge.

The deceased was also a member of the G. A. R. and the obsequies were attended and assisted in by members of that organization.

Mr. Street is survived by wife (his second) and ten children, six sons and four daughters, most of whom are grown.

Calvin Street was a native of Ohio, from whence he removed to Iowa.

During the rebellion he did service for his country as a member of Company E, 27th Iowa Infantry. He enlisted May 22, 1862, and was discharged June 7, 1862, and was discharged June 7, 1865. A year or more of that time he was confined as a prisoner of war at Cohaugah, Alabama.

He was a pioneer of Wilson county. In 1869 he settled in Cedar township on the farm of 160 acres on which he so long resided. He became well situated in this world's goods, but erstwhile friends left him financially embrassed in his later years. However, he left his family the provision of $2,000 life insurance.

In all his relations with his fellow men he was above reproach. All the old settlers know him and without exception say he was a good man and a generous neighbor.
