THE FUNERAL TOMORROW
Remains of A. J. Kingsley to Be Laid at Rest at
Eastside.
The funeral of the late A. J. Kingsley,
whose death occurred yesterday afternoon, will be held from the family
home, 605 North Plum street, at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Interment
will occur in Eastside cemetery.
Mr. Kingsley was 77 years of age, an older
man than many took him to be, for he was spry and active up until his last
illness. He had lived in Kansas for thirty-six years, and had acquired
considerable wealth during his stay in Hutchinson, mainly from investments
here. He owned extensive real estate holdings in Hutchinson.
He was a New Englander, having been born in
Willimantic, Conn., May 1, 1835. He was married in that state in 1857 to
Minerva L. Fuller, and they located in Illinois. In 1876 they came to
Kansas, settling in McPherson county, where Mr. Kingsley engaged in
farming and stock raising.
He retired from the farm 18 years ago and
moved to Hutchinson. He survived by six sons and daughters; Mrs. Flo
Lillie, of Roxbury; L. F. Kingsley, of Inman; Mrs. Clara Richards, of
Hutchinson; Fred Kingsley, of Topeka; Mrs. Mary Merritt, of Haven; and
Miss Grace Kingsley, of Hutchinson.
Rev. A. J. Bixler, of Marion, will conduct
the funeral service tomorrow.
