DEATH OF S. W. WHARTON

WELL KNOWN FARMER IS VICTIM OF PNEUMONIA

Passes Away at Noon Today After Brief Sickness
Funeral is to be Friday


S. W. Wharton, 79 years old, a resident of this locality since 1888, died at 12:10 o'clock this afternoon at the Wharton home, two and a half miles west of Carthage. His death was caused by pneumonia. He was taken sick only last Sunday night.
He was widely known in Carthage and the news of his death will be a shock to friends, many of whom did not know he was sick, much less in such a critical state. He was a veteran of the Civil War, serving with the Union forces. for his efficient service he was promoted, and when he was discharged he held the rank of lieutenant.

S. W. Wharton was born September 4, 1834 at Richmond. He was reared in that vicinity. Later he moved to Wheeling, West Virginia[West Virginia created 1863 from Virginia]. He was married in that city to Elizabeth Bruner in 1857. On October 22 last they celebrated the 56th anniversary of their wedded life. Until he was stricken with pneumonia he enjoyed excellent health for a man of his years, it is said. The wife and two children are the survivors. They are;
J. F. Wharton of Parsons, Kansas assistant manager of the International Harvester company and Mrs. J. M. McColloch, who made her home with her parents.
Both children were at the bedside. A son, the late W. N. Wharton, served three terms as county school superintendent of Jasper County. He died several years ago.

Removing from Wheeling, West Virginia, Mr Wharton settled near Sedalia, Mo in 1877. He next came to Jasper County, locating near this city 27 years ago. The greater portion of his life was spent at the occupation of farming.
When 14 years old he joined the Methodist Episcopal Church and has been an active worker ever since. For 40 years he was a Methodist class leader. He was a member of the congregation of the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Carthage.
