Charley York, for over forty years a resident of the
city, died Saturday night following a ten days illness with pneumonia,
induced by injuries received when he was kicked in the lungs by a steer
at his feed yards west of the city.
The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon from the
Presbyterian Church, in charge of Rev. A. H. Harshaw and Rev. S. I.
Buchner and burial was made in Highland Cemetery beside his wife, who
died over twenty years ago.
Mr. York is survived by one daughter, Mrs.
Clarence Malone of Kansas City, by his stepmother, Mrs. Naomi York of
West 2nd. Street, these brothers, Will York of this city,
Harry York of
Breckenridge, Colorado, Fred York of San Antonio, Texas, Alfred York of
Kansas City, Clarence York, Frank York, George York, Edward York, all of
this county, and one sister, Miss Nellie York of this city.
He was a native of England but came to this
county with his parents when a small boy, and this city has been his
home ever since.
As one of the prominent cattle feeders and buyers
of central Kansas he enjoyed a wide acquaintance and was held in the
highest esteem by all with whom he had dealings.
