E. F. Cheney Died Last Evening
Lander valley and a wide circle of friends throughout the state today mourn the passing of E. F. Cheney, old time pioneer and a prominent figure in Fremont County for a period of fifty years.
He passed away about 7:15 last evening, of heart trouble and advanced age, the end coming with swift unexpectedness. He was stricken about a week ago with his heart and was confined to bed for several days. Yesterday he showed a marked improvement, and was able to sit up to the table for his meals. He had returned to his bed last night after a light supper, and was supposedly resting quietly. Mrs. Cheney, who sat in an adjoining room about seven o'clock in the evening was startled by a call from the sick man, and when she reached the bedside he was breathing his last.
He is survived by a wife and four children.
He was a prominent Mason, and they will have charge of the funeral arrangements for which has not yet been made.
A more extended obituary notice of this pioneer will appear in Monday's paper.
