Frontiersman Dead
William Lavin, a frontiersman who came to this city in the early seventies, died suddenly of heart failure at Park City Thursday, at the age of 65. He was a wagon master for the government in the early days, and drove teams out of Fort Leavenworth. The deceased leaves a daughter, Kate, a resident of this city. The funeral will be held from O’Donnell’s undertaking rooms at 2 p.m. tomorrow.
