Baer, 3015 The Pasco, Kansas City, Missouri. He was a patient in the U. S. Veterans' hospital, 27th st. and The Pasco was trying to build up in preparation for an operation for internal goiter. He had suffered from heart trouble, presumably aggravated by the goiter, since the World War, when he was near death from influenza at Camp Doniphan.Feeling the need of a little exercise, he walked three blocks to his niece's home,. He expired suddenly after eating dinner.

When Carl White was elected State Treasurer, Lon was given the position of assistant and was able to carry o his work until four weeks ago when his superior urged that he seek rest and treatment.
