Passing of a Native son of Randolph
Leister Scudder Joined the Majority on Tuesday.
He was an activr participant in the Early Developments of this Section and a Man of Many Excellent Qualities
Another member of the second generation of pioneers of this section and one who had participated actively in local developments passed away at 7 o'clock Tuesday night when Leister Scudder breathed his last at the home of his son, Frank L. Scudder, in Jamestown street. Mr. Scudder had been sick for about five weeks with heart trouble and while death was not entirely unexpected by the family, few outside realized that his condition was critical and the announcement of dissolution came as a distinct shock to very many friends.
Leister Scudder was the son of Joel and Hannah Cronk Scudder, early pioneers of this section, and was born in Randolph September 21, 1833. He was the youngest of a family of ten children, only one of whom, Albert Scudder of Jamestown, survives.
February 15, 1866, he was united in marriage with Miss Alida C. Dockstader of Randolph who passed away in 1892. To this union was born one son, Frank L. Scudder, who with the brother mentioned is the only surviving member of the family, although there are many other relatives of varying degree in this vicinity.
Mr. Scudder was engaged in farming most of his life but in addition to agricultural pursuits he found time to engage in many other enterprises such as buying and selling cattle, and produce and dealing in lumber. His interests along the latter line were at one time quite extensive. During the past ten years he had engaged but little in active pursuits and had made his home with his son in this village.
He was a man of quiet disposition and friendly instincts who was highly esteemed as a good citizen and upright man wherever known. His fund of reminiscences of the early times seemed inexhaustible, but while he delighted to talk of the distant days, he was not one who believed the golden age is in the past. Rather, he kept abreast of the times and showed a keen and pleasure in every new development which tended to the advancement of mankind. He was charitable in his estimate of others, ever willing to aid in any cause which seemed calculated to advance the general interest and this community sustains a distinct in his taking off. Many friends will mourn with the family in their loss.
The funeral will be held at 1 p.m. today, Friday, from the home of Frank L. Scudder. Rev. C. M. Bartholomew, pastor of the Congregational church, will officiate and the burial will be made in Randolph cemetery.
