Dies in New York.
JOHN SCANLON.
John Scanlon, a former member of the lower house of the council, died in New York city Tuesday night from cancer of the stomach. T. Scanlon, a brother and member of the fire department, was the only relative present when death occurred. Another brother, Patrick, is also connected with the fire department. A married sister, Mrs. D. Green, and an unmarried sister, Miss Margaret Scanlon, reside in Kansas City. The father and mother of the deceased live in Ireland. The remains are to be brought to Kansas City tomorrow, and the funeral will be from the home of Timothy Scanlon, an uncle, 2632 Summit street, at a time to be announced later.
John Scanlon was 39 years old, and had been a resident of Kansas City twenty-seven years, coming direct here from Ireland at the age of 12 years. In 1902 he was elected to the lower house of the council from the Fifth ward and again in 1904 from the Fourth ward, a redistricting of the wards putting him over in the latter ward. Alderman Scanlon represented his constituents zealously and with marked ability, and had their entire confidence and esteem. He leaves a large circle of friends and acquaintances.
