LLOYD EARL CANFIL
Lloyd Earl Canfil passed into rest at his home in this city Friday evening, February 13, 1920, aged 36 years, 10 months and 14 days. The funeral service was held at the Christian church in this city at eleven o'clock Sunday morning, conducted by Rev. J. Caleb Kirk, pastor of the M. E, church. The body, accompanied by his family and parents, was shipped on No. 3 Sunday afternoon to Sweetwater, Texas, for burial. It is there that the family intend to make their future home.
The deceased was taken sick of the influenza nearly three weeks ago and later pneumonia fever developed which resulted in death despite all that could be done for him.
Mr. Canfil, son of Charles and Elizabeth Canfil, was born at Haddam, Kan., March 29, 1883. He was united in marriage to Miss Minnie A. Morrison, on December 22, 1910. Of this union three children were born, the oldest of which died in infancy. The other two, Lloyd Earl Jr., and Arthur Jesse, respectively, 5 and 3 years of age, survive him. Besides these he leaves a wife, father and mother and one brother, and a host of friends to mourn death.
The family moved to Richland from New Mexico in April, 1913, where he engaged in the drug business until just recently when he sold his stock to Edw. F. Lutz and was planning to move to Texas.
Mr. Canfil was an exemplary citizen and public spirited man in the fullest sense of the term. The large crowd who attended his funeral and accompanied the body to the train evidenced the high esteem in which he was held by his fellow-townsmen. The Richland Masonic lodge of which he was a member, had charge of the body.
At the age of eight years Mr. Canfil professed religion and united with the Methodist Protestant church. He lived his religion and his early Christian teaching. His life motto was briefly stated by his parents in these words. "Do all the good you can to all the people you can, and if you can't say anything good about a person, say nothing." The powerful influence of his early training on his after life was brought out by his request, when his father and mother arrived at his bedside, although sick unto death, that his mother repeat at once with him the little prayer she taught him in his infancy--" Now I lay me down to sleep and pray the Lord by soul to keep" and so on as the child prayer goes. How true the saying, 'train a child up in the way he should go and when he is old he will mot depart from it."
The Richland Mirror with all the other friends of the deceased in the community join in extending condolence to the bereaved family and parents and assure them that his death is a loss to our community well.--Richland (Mo.) Mirror.
L. E. Canfil was well and favorably known in and around Haddam and was loved by all who knew him. He was the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Canfil.
