Iliff, of this city. For several years, Mr. Iliff has been failing and over a year ago was stricken with paralysis. Just before he died he was almost completely paralyzed. Lemuel Iliff was born in Northumberland, Pennsylvania, on October 28th, 1818, but has lived in the west most of his life. He married twice. By his first wife he had seven children, four boys and three girls. In early life he united with the Methodist church, but when he came to Kansas he found a United Brethren church at Lecompton, where he settled, and uniting with that church he remained a member until his death. He assisted in organizing the first church in Barber county. He visited this county in 1874 and in 1886 removed his family here and has made this his home since. He proved up the land now known as the Bechtel or railroad addition and this with other property placed him beyond want in his old age. Three of Mr. Iliff's children live in and near this city. They are J.M. and J.N. Iliff and Mrs. J.W. McNeal. His other children reside as follows: E.W. Iliff, Largo, New Mexico; A.B. Iliff, Lecompton, Kansas; Mrs. Spurlock, Ft. Riley, Kansas; and Mrs. Ella Wrenwick, whose home is in Washington Territory. Rev. McElroy preached the funeral sermon at the Presbyterian church Tuesday afternoon, after which the remains were placed beneath the sod of our city cemetery. Mr. Iliff was not a remarkable man in any way, but he was honest and a good citizen. He was a Union man and opposed to introducing slavery in Kansas, and he was not at all backward in expressing his opinions. He was fearless in the right and would always stand up for his convictions. A good man, a kind father and a faithful friend; he had almost reached the three score and ten point, when the sands of life ran low and he passed peacefully and quietly to his Maker. His children will sincerely mourn him and his many friends will long remember Mr. Iliff. First wife was Mary Iliff, married in 1840.
