A. P. THOMAS
 
OLD SETTLER LAID TO REST AT LYNDON
 
Lyndon, Ill., Jan. 4 - (Special). -- The funeral of A. P. Thomas was attended by a number of old neighbors and friends who had known Mr. Thomas for years.  Mr. and Mrs. Thomas settled on their farm near Lyndon soon after their marriage where the family home has been for the past fifty years.  Mrs. Thomas died a year ago.  The death of Mr. Thomas leaves but one survivor of the old Orson K. Hubbard Post, G.A.R.   He was a kind neighborly friend who ever met his associates with sunny cordiality.  Rev. Enos Holt, former pastor of the Lyndon Methodist church and under whom Mr. Thomas was converted and taken into membership preached the funeral sermon, burial taking place in the family plot in the Lyndon cemetery.
