Edward J. Sweem and old and highly respected citizen of this city died on Monday morning of this week, aged 80
years, 8 months and 17 days. The old gentleman just broke down in health, owing to his extreme age; although medical
aid did all that was possible, it was in vain. Funeral services were held at the M. E. Church yesterday after which
the remains were interred in the Baxter Cemetery. Rev. W. T. White conducted the services under the auspices of
G. A. R. Post No. 123. Besides the widow, Mr. Sweem left seven children to mourn his death. Mrs. A. T. Embree of
this city is a daughter. Baxter Springs News - Mr. Ed J. Sweem died at his home on east Cedar street on Monday

were held yesterday forenoon at 10 o'clock in the Methodist Church. |
