DEATHS J. P. Fall Dead.
 
Mr. J. P. Fall died at 11:30 o'clock Sunday evening, January 18th, at his home on East Loula street. His death was a great surprise to most of his friends, many of them thinking that he was still in Florida, where he went about two months ago to spend the winter. The climate there did not agree with him and he started back to Olathe. When he reached St Louis he wad compelled to stop at a hospital there. Mrs. Falls was telegraphed for and went immediately. Mr. Fall was able to be brought home and arrived here Friday, but in such a condition that his death was expected hourly.
 
His funeral will be held at 2 o'clock on Wednesday, Jan. 21, at the Holliness Mission, Rev. Zook officiating. Mr. Fall was seventy-four years of age. Asthma and dropsy were the cause of death. Burial will be made in Olathe cemetery.
 
Mr. Joel P. Fall was born in Indiana in 1841, died in Olathe, Jan. 18, 1914, at the age of 73 years, 11 months. At the age of seven he moved with his parents to Monroe county, la., living there until he was 21, he then freighted across the plains for several years. In 1866 he was united in marriage to Mrs. Sarah Barbee of Mills county, la. He lived here on a farm for many years. In his late years he moved to Kansas where he made his home until his death. In Olathe he leaves, many friends to mourn his death. They will remember him, however, as doing good and helping the poor and all who needed him. He leaves a wife and son, who have our deepest sympathy.
