Notes
a. Note:   Silas S. Lafferty Silas S. Lafferty was born in Orange Co. , North Carolina on February 26, 1818 and died in Lebo, Kansas on August 1, at the good ripe age of 74 years 5 months and 5 days. He was immigrated with his parents from the place of his birth in 1830 to Orange Co. Ind. He was married to Miss Rebecca E. Jones December 28, 1843. To them were born ten children. Six survived, one daughter and five sons. In the autumn of 1878 he with his family came to Osage Co., Kansas, and in 1885 he cast his lot with the citizens of Lebo and has proved himself a worthy and honored neighbor. He was a member in good standing in the Christian Church. His life closed with a Christian's triumph. Just about 30 minutes before the end came he most tenderly entreated each member of the family, and then others that were present, saying "meet me in Heaven: don't forget me". He was an active member of the Independent Order of Good Templars of this city and is the first one of its members that has passed into that "better country", where intemperance never enters, He was also a former member of the I.O.O.F. retaining and practicing the principles of the order to the last, and at his own request was buried under the auspices of the lodge in this city, assisted by the Good Templars, in addition to which a large concourse of people followed the remains to their last resting place. Need we wonder that his countenance shone so brightly as he was nearing that blessed home? He leaves the companion of his youth, one daughter, five sons, and an only sister, many dear relatives and multitude of friends and neighbors that assisted in every possible was for the comfort of a beloved father, a devoted husband, a Christian neighbor and honored citizen. The family have the unbounded sympathy of all in the community, and they in return wish through this to express their heart felt thanks for the many kindness lavished upon them and the departed.
