George Henry Lucas, 61, well known business man of Estherville, died at his home at 2:15 a.m. on Wednesday. He had been ill for many months of cancer, failing rapidly in the last three weeks.
For 19 years Mrs. Lucas has been in business in Estherville, first in the dray and ice line, then for ten years in partnership with Grover McCall in a retail gas station on Howard street. Before coming to Estherville he had farmed near Wallingford.
Mr. Lucas was born at Ludden, Ill. on August 16, 1872.
Funeral services will be held tomorrow (Friday) at 2 o'clock from the home on South Ninth street, and at 2:30 p.m. at the Christian church. Rev. Alva Ragsdale of Eldora will be in charge assisted by Rev. M. A. Lowe, pastor of the church. Those to act as pall bearers are Chas. Dayton, Jake Hepp, Robert Knight, Lee Eveleth, W. V. Sweet and Fred Ehlers.
Interment will be made in Oak Hill cemetery with North Star Lodge A.F. and A.M. in charge of the last rites at the grave.
Mr. Lucas was one of Estherville's best known and most universally loved citizens. He was a good neighbor, always kindly and courteous, fair and honest in his business dealing and devoted to his wife and one child, Mrs. Herman Jensen.
He was a member of the Masonic lodge, the Eastern Star and the Knights of Pythias. He was an active and conscientious member of those groups and his daily life testifies to his effort to carry out his understanding of what was required of a Christian citizen.
His passing leaves a void that will be impossible to fill in his home and in the community.
