Died: At his residence ten miles southeast of this city on Monday, February 15th, 1892, John J.Chilcott, aged 21 years 10 months and 12 days. He was taken ill about five weeks ago and after suffering intensely, died in horrible agony. The death struggle was the most pitiful ever beheld by those whose sad duty it was to watch over him. Strong men could not keep back the tears when they looked upon the sick man and the dear ones who were suffering with him. Death is sad at all times, but when it comes to one just beginning in life, who has started out bravely to meet the many trials and uphills that await him, who is surrounded with a loving family and numerous friends ever ready to cheer him onward, upward, we feel it more keenly. The deceased leaves a young wife and one little child, to mourn, but not alone; there are fond parents and a loving sister, and innumerable friends who will miss him amongst us. The funeral services were conducted by Loren Edwards Camp, S. of V., and a large number followed the remains to Highland cemetery in this city Wednesday afternoon. Elder Nation and Rev. McMurtry preached the funeral at the Christian chapel.(Citation 1)
