THE SIDNEY ARGUS - HERALD. May 14, 1936. "Randolph News".--Funeral services were held at the home Sunday afternoon for Elijah S. Lucas who died Friday after a long period of failing health.

Mr. Lucas was a pioneer in the real sense of the term, having been born in Fremont county and spending practically all his 81 years in this locality. The farm home located between Randolph and Anderson has for many years been outstanding for its spirit of friendliness and hospitality.

A wife, two sons, Loren of Anthon, Iowa, and Earl of Omaha, and two daughters, Ida and Mrs. Vern Bolding, both of Randolph, survive, all of whom were privileged to be present at the services and also to visit or help care for him during his last days. There are also two grandchildren and one great grandchild.

Rev. Peter Jacobs of Shenandoah, a personal friend of the family, had charge of the services and the body was laid to rest in the Randolph cemetery. A large number of relatives and friends from the surrounding vicinity were in attendance at the services.

About six years ago Mr. and Mrs. Lucas celebrated their golden wedding anniversary.
