An Old Soldier Gone.
William Lucas, one of the old citizens of this borough, died at his home on Worth street Sunday afternoon and was buried in Beulah cemetery yesterday afternoon. The funeral services were held at the late home of Mr. Lucas, conducted by Rev. H.R. Johnson. The deceased was almost 78 years old. His death was caused by cancerous catarrh.
He has lived in Reynoldsville a quarter of a century. Mr. Lucas was a quiet man and a law abiding citizen. During the unpleasantness between the North and the South William Lucas was at the front wearing a sergeant's uniform with the gallant boys of the 105th Penna. Volunteers. He served his country four years. When his remains were carried to the "silent city" to await the final bugle call a number of the G.A.R. men of this place followed and there paid their last tribute of respect to one whom they honored and loved.
On account of a defect of his hearing, Mr. Lucas was not often found in a public place of worship, but he died with a hope that bridged the gulf between time and eternity. He was a great bible student. A wife and son, Meade Lucas, and three step-children, Frank S. and Willis B. Hoffman and Mrs. Wm. Wiley, survive him.
