Again it is our sad duty to chronicle the death of a young man whose early days were spent in this community and whose life was bound to his native town by the ties of love and high regard. Only last week such a one was carried for his last sleep to beautiful Raymore Cemetery, after a tragic death, and now another and still younger son of the community has passed death's portals, after days of intense suffering with a disease which prevented his friends and kin from being with the family in their time of anguish. Charles S. A. Lightcap, after an attack of influenza, from which he had apparently recovered, and had returned to his work at the First National Bank, was seized with that dread malady, meningitis, and after a week's suffering passed away.
Charles S. A. Lightcap was born December 14, 1899, at Raymore, Mo., and passed away at his home in Kansas City, October 13, 1932, aged 32 years, 9 months and 29 days. On January 6, 1923, he was united in marriage to Miss Maude Dennis of Marshall, Mo., who survives him. He also leaves to mourn his loss his father, S. A. Lightcap, of Toronto, Kans., one brother, Samuel B. Lightcap, of Belton, five sisters, Mrs. William Black of Toronto, Kans.. Mrs. Guy Brown of Higginsville, Mrs. W. C. Lawrence, Mrs. N. B. Jagars of Kansas City and Miss Lois Lightcap of Bartlesville, Okla. His mother preceded him in death, January 17, 1926, and two sisters, Rea Lura and Ina Elnora, died in infancy.
In young manhood Mr. Lightcap united with the Presbyterian Church of Raymore, and was true to this faith all his life. He was a devoted husband, kind and affectionate and made many friends. He was taken suddenly ill with this awful malady, which caused him much suffering. His patience during his illness was a marvel to all who were associated with him. He had been employed at the First National Bank for the past 14 years.
On account of the nature of his illness, a private funeral service was conducted at the graveside by Rev. Ferguson, pastor of the Marshall. Mo., Presbyterian Church, at Marshall, last Saturday afternoon.
