FRANK RUNYON

Death on Saturday released the earthly suffering of Frank Runyon one of our 
oldest citizens, after a lingering illness of over a year’s duration, during 
which time he was a patient and cheerful sufferer. Mr. Runyon or “Uncle Frank” 
as he was familiarly called, numbered his friends by his acquaintances. Quiet 
and unassuming, he went his way ready to do the daily tasks that were his in a 
workman like way.

Funeral services were held on Monday afternoon at the M.E. Church. The remains 
were laid to rest in the local cemetery.

Frank Runyon was born in Illinois on the 18th day of February 1848 and departed 
from this life on the 3rd day of October, 1925, at his home in Magnet, having 
reached the age of 77 years, 7 months and 13 days. The deceased came to Magnet 
24 years ago from Union, Nebr., where he had resided for several years. He was 
one of Nebraska’s pioneers having freighted from Nebraska City, Nebr. to 
Julesburg, Colo., via oxen route. His later years were spent in a very useful 
pursuit, paving the way for the conveniences we now enjoy. He leaves to mourn 
his departure; his wife, two sons, Alex of Valentine and Harry, present address 
unknown; five daughter, Mrs. Rose Briggs of Topeka, Kan., Mrs. A J. Mutton, 
Nebraska City, Mrs. Frank Jacobsen, Mayette, Kan.; Mrs. Emma Potter, Wolcott, Ind., 
and Mrs. Fred Lanobs of Woolsey, SD.; three brothers, Abe, Mose and George; and six 
grandchildren besides a host of sorrowing friends.
