Another of Madison counties old settlers has passed away in the person of William Lucas who died at his home in this city last Monday morning of heart disease.

Mr. Lucas came to this county in 1852 and settled on a farm within a mile of the city limits where he has lived ever since with the exception of the past few years which was spent in town.

He has always been a man highly respected in the community where he has lived so long an honorable and up-right life.
