JOHN LOVE DEAD,

John Love, an employee of the C. H. Hyer Cowboy boot factory in this city, sustained injuries from falling down an elevator shaft at the S. A. Menger stove works on West Sixth street in Kansas City, Tuesday evening of last week, which resulted in his death Thursday. The body was brought to Olathe that evening, and the funeral services were held at Ryan's undertaking room Friday afternoon, Rev. Nelson A. Shedd officiating.

John Love was born in Great Brittain sixty-two years ago; was left an orphan at an early age, and was raised and educated by an uncle. On coming to America he located in Canada, but later migrated to Kansas City. His wife and daughter, his only child, have both been dead for a number of years, and it is believe he has not a single relative living.

For the past filve years John Love has been in the employ of Mr. Hyer, and was rated as a first-class workman. He was exceptionally well read, and kept abreast of the political and economical issues of the day, though unassuming and retiring in his general demeanor. Hyer's factory was closed Friday afternoon while the employees attended the funeral of their late fellow work man in a body.
