OBITUARY
Died at his residence near Stanwood, August 26, 1888, Sabal Swain, aged 76 years and 7 months. The deceased was born in the state of North Carolina, January 26, 1810. When he was but a small boy his parents moved to the state of Indiana, where he remained until 1857, in which year he moved with his family to this state, which was then a much disputed territory.
Mr. Swain was married in Indiana in the year 1835, to Miss Mary B. Barnard, with whom he had lived nearly fifty years at the time of her death which took place a little more than three years ago. There were eleven children born to this couple, only four of whom survive them. Two were buried in Indiana prior to their removal, and five were buried on Kansas soil. Of the surviving children, three, Calvin, Louisa and Byron, reside within a few miles of this city, while one, William B., resides at Renick, Mo. The old couple had a birthright inheritance in the Friends church.
Upon Mr. Swain's arrival in Kansas he settled in this section had was justly numbered among the old settlers. He was an honest upright and industrious citizen, a friend to the needy, to whom he ever extended a helping hand, and as a citizen and neighbor none could have been more highly respected.
In political belief, he, like all members of the Quaker church, believed in universal freedom, and in early life worked to strike the shackles from the bondman, while in the later years of his life he affiliated with the republican party.
