Old Settler Dead.
Stroughton Alger Cheever died at his home in this city, east of the Santa Fe Depot, on Sunday, Nov. 24, 1912, at 2:45 p.m., aged 71 years, 4 months and 2 days. Death was due to heart failure. Funeral services at the residence Monday afternoon.
Mr. Cheever was born in Galveston, Indiana, July 22, 1841. At the outbreak of the Civil War he answered the call of his country and enlisted in the Union Army, serving four years.
After being discharged from the army Mr. Cheever took up the blacksmith trade and worked at the occupation until he was forced, by age and ill health to retire from business, which he did twelve years ago in this city.
Mr. Cheever leaves to mourn his departure, a wife, two daughters and two sons. The children are: Mrs. Pearl Farrow of Newkirk, Mrs. Ernest Mueller of Wichita, Z.E. Cheever of Portland, Ore., and C.M. Cheever of Corral, Idaho.
S.A. Cheever, the deceased was one of our pioneer citizens, and for years a familiar figure on our streets. He was an upright man, a good citizen, and a friend worth possessing. To the bereaved family we extend sympathy.
