The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, March 18, 1909

H.W. GITTINGER received a telegram from Omaha, on Saturday, stating that his
uncle, J.H. WEST, had just died at the home of his son, C.L. WEST, in that
city.  The funeral was held there on Sunday at 10:00 a.m. and the remains taken
to Flagler, Colorado, his late home, for interment.  He  was one of the
pioneers of Lucas County, coming from Putnam County, Indiana, and settling in
Washington Township, in 1848.  Several years since he removed from Lucas County and
later settled at Flagler, Colorado.  Not long since his physician told him
that it would be better for him to change climate and get into a lower altitude
but his trouble, coupled with the decline of old age, was of such a nature that
it proved unavailing, and the results were as above.  He leaves a wife and a
son, C.L. WEST, of Omaha, and a daughter, MRS
JOHNSTON, of Flagler, Colo.  Of the original family there is but one
surviving member, W.A. WEST, of Eureka, Montana.  Deceased was near 85 years of age.
