Obituary
Edmond Everett Hoskins was born in Russellburg, Pa., September 14, 1845; died in Neodesha, Kansas, August 9, 1899, aged 53 years, 10 months and 25 days. Into the life lived by this good citizen between the dates mentioned, were crowded many stirring events, and many hardships, but also much happiness and pleasure. He was a very special man, brave and generous, hopeful and energetic. His parents died while he was still young and early in life he was forced to care for himself. In 1863, when only 17 years of age, he enlisted in the union army being a member of Co. B, Seventy-second New York Infantry, and he served faithfully and well for two years and four months. At the close of the war he was mustered out with his regiment and immediately entered the railway service, an occupation he followed the remainder of his life. He served his apprenticeship on the New York Central. After that he went west to Illinois and for a number of years he worked in the state on the Chicago & Alton. In 1869, he came to Kansas and entered the service of the Frisco, then being constructed through this part of Kansas, and has stayed with the company ever since—twenty years. Shortly after beginning work on this road he met Miss Mary Beecher and becoming enamored of her, secured her consent and they were married in Greenwood county in 1884. They took up their residence in Neodesha and have lived here since with the exception of a few years spent in Anthony. They have had five children to bless their wedded life. Two died in early childhood; there are left to comfort and sustain the heartbroken mother in her sudden bereavement, Perela, aged 17, Charles aged 14 and Gladness, 7.
Ed Hoskins, as he was generally known, was very popular with his fellow employees and associates. Frank and impulsive, his was always ready to aid or commend a friend; enemies he had none. He was a very earnest friend to his class of laboring men and a consistent member of the Order of Railway Conductors. He also belonged to Harmony Lodge No. 94, A. F. & A. M. to Harper Chapter No. 61 R. A. M and Anthony Commandery No. 37 K. T., also to Neodesha Chapter No. 29, Order of Eastern Star and to the Knights and Ladies of Security.
His funeral was conducted under the auspices of the A. F. & A. M., and of the O. E. S. Rev. J. A. Smith, a fellow Mason, and pastor of the Christian church with which Mr. Hoskins’ family is affiliated, preached the funeral sermon at the Christian church at 9 a.m., Saturday, August 122. At the close of the sermon members of the Eastern Star observed their beautiful ritualistic ceremony around the bier, He was then carried to his last resting place, followed by his fellow Masons. Six Knights Jos. Scudder, E. D. Davis, A. C. Sperry, J. L. Moorhead, J. W. Bogue and R. M. Jones being the pall bearers, E. D. Davis, Emmuinen Commander of the Knights Templars at Anthony was present as the representative of the fraternity. At the grave the Masonic brethren performed their solemn and impressive service, and thus were the mortal remains of kindly, genial Ed. Hoskins, an amiable citizen, a true patriot, a loving husband and father laid to rest.

EDWARD E. HOSKINS--The late Edward Everett Hoskins, of Neodesha, was one of the old coterie of railroad men as well as a descendant of one of the old American families. He was eight generations removed from the original William Hoskins, the Englishman, who settled in Massachusetts in 1645 and whose posterity found its way westward into Connecticut, Vermont, and into New York which last state it seems to have reached as a pioneer and from which the father of our subject migrated into Venango county, Pennsylvania. William Hoskins, the great-grandfather of our subject, with two brothers, took a prominent part in the war for American independence, being a general and a man of much influence and power in his colony.
Edward E. Hoskins was born in Venango county, Pennsylvania, September 14, 1845, and was a son of Samuel A. and Coricandia P. (Powell) Hoskins, both native of New York state. They were married in Jamestown, New York, October 24, 1844, and went immediately into Pennsylvania. Samuel A. Hoskins was a grocer and while life was full of hope and promise he was cut down in early life, dying August 12, 1847, at twenty-four years of age. His wife survived him and died December 14, 1860, at thirty-nine years of age. They were consistent members of the Presbyterian church.
Our subject was the only child of his parents. He was shorn of parental guardianship at the age of fifteen and from thence forward his life lay along lines self-chosen for his guidance. He was educated in an Episcopal academy at Paynesville, Ohio, leaving school at the age of seventeen and going to Jamestown, New York, where he enlisted in Company B, 72nd New York volunteer infantry. He joined his regiment at Spotsylvania Court House and immediately went into the battle of the Wilderness without any sort of priliminary training or instruction. He took part in all the fighting done by the Army of the Potomac from that on to the close of the war, including the final act at the surrender of Lee's army at Appomatox. His service covered a period of two years and four months, about as severe and dangerous as any ever experienced, and yet he escaped without wounds or capture. After the grand review at Washington he returned to the place of his enlistment and soon thereafter entered civil pursuits.
Railroading seemed to promise much in the way of opportunities and remuneration just after the war and into this service Mr. Hoskins went. He became a brakeman on the New York Central for two years when, gaining his majority, he went to Kankakee county, Illinois, and with his legacy, bought farm land and cultivated it for three years. But the life of a farmer was too slow and plodding for him and he returned to the road. He secured employment with the Chicago, Alton and St. Louis railroad and worked his way up through all the stations from brakeman to passenger conductor. In 1878 he left this company and, going to the Rocky Mountains, he employed with the Colorado Central as conductor but remained only a short time, joining the Santa Fe company and returning east into Kansas in 1879. December 1, of the year 1880 he left the A. T. & S. F. company and joined the St. Louis and San Francisco company, locating in Neodesha. He started at the bottom rung of the ladder, as a brakeman, and January 1, 1884, when he was promoted to a passenger run on the Beaumont branch and he removed his family to Anthony, Kansas, where he remained for a period of five years, when this branch road was discontinued and he returned to Neodesha and went on the main line as a freight conductor and was so employed up to the time of his death. He died suddently from a stroke of apoplexy at his home on the morning of August 9, 1899, and was buried under the auspices of the several Masonic bodies of which he was a member.
With the close of life of Edward Everett Hoskins ended also a remarkable career of nearly thirty-five years in railroad work. He witness almost the entire growth of this department of industry, for railroading up to 1865 had not made the great strides in development that have been made since; it was only in its infancy. The equipment of forty years ago was only a temporary makeshift, as compared with that of the twentieth century, and would be totally inadequate to the demands of any line of the present day. As a soldier and civilian many stirring events were crowded into the life of our subject. Many hardships faced him along the journey but, in the main, the span of his life was an era of contentment; happiness and pleasure. He possessed many social qualities was generous, hopeful and energetic. He was frank and impulsive, always ready to aid or command a friend. He was popular with employees and associates and was always found competent to perform any duty required of him.
Mr. Hoskins was married in Greenwood county, Kansas, June 26, 1881, to Miss Mary Beecher, of New York state, and a daughter of Jess and Harriet (Hickmott) Beecher, who were married in Maidstone, England. Mr. Beecher was a soldier in our civil war, enlisting in the 112th New York volunteer infantry, in 1862. He was in the Army of the Potomac and was in twenty-one battles of the war. He died in the hospital at Wilmington, North Carolina, April 24, 1865, and is buried at that place in the National cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. Beecher were married November 29, 1848, and were the parents of eleven children of whom Mrs. Hoskins is the youngest, being born in the village of Sherman, New York, April 21, 1863, and the only child born in America. She is in through accord with the American idea, believing in equal priviledges to all who desire to promote the best interests of our common country.
Unto Mr. and Mrs. Hoskins were born five children. Those surviving are Percia, and accomplished pianist, an "Eastern Star" and a member of the family circle; Charles, a high school pupil, class of 1903, and Baby Gladness, a sunbeam in the household.
Mr. Hoskins belonged to the Masonic fraternity; Harmony Lodge, No. 94, Neodesha,, Royal Arch Chapter at Harper, Kansas, and Commandery No. 37, at Anthony, Kansas, and he with his wife was a member of the Eastern Star. For a number of years he was in the Order of Railway Conductors, and held policies of insurance in benevolent orders.

It seemed like American actor Edward Everett Horton (1886-1970) appeared in just about every Hollywood comedy made in the 1930s. He was always the perfect counterpart to the great gentlemen and protagonists of the films. Horton specialised in the fretful, woebegone 'Nervous Nellie' types.
Edward Everett Horton Jr. was born in 1886 in Brooklyn, New York City, to Isabella S. (Diack) and Edward Everett Horton, a print typesetter for the New York Times. He was the eldest of four children; George, Winter Davis, and Hannahbelle were his siblings. The family remained close throughout their lives. Edward's mother lived with him until she died at the age of 101. His brothers and sister also spent their later years residing at his Encino estate. Edward was a student at Oberlin College in Ohio. However, he was asked to leave after he climbed to the top of a building and, after a crowd gathered, threw off a dummy, making them think he had jumped. He then studied business at both Polytechnic Institute and Columbia. At Columbia, however, he joined the university's drama club and that changed the direction of his life. He quickly decided on an acting career rather and he left Columbia before graduating. In 1907, he joined the Dempsey Company, a stock company on Staten Island. There he performed in several Gilbert and Sullivan light operas, including 'The Mikado'. His rich baritone singing voice enabled him to appear in chorus on Broadway and he joined the prestigious Louis Mann company, playing in stock and learning his new trade. He went on to join several theatre companies in the 1910s, including the Orpheum Players in Philadelphia, The Baker Stock Company in Oregon, and the Crescent Theatre in Brooklyn. In the 1920s he acted in and managed the Majestic Theater in Los Angeles with his brother and business manager, George. He made his film debut in the comedy Too Much Business (1922). In only his fourth film, Horton struck gold as a screen comedy performer with his starring role as the butler in the Western comedy Ruggles of Red Gap (James Cruze, 1923) opposite Ernest Torrence. Charles Laughton would play Ruggles in the 1935 version. Horton portrayed the lead role of an idealistic young classical composer in the drama Beggar on Horseback (James Cruze, 1925) with Esther Ralston. Unlike many of his silent-film colleagues, the stage-trained Horton had no problems in adapting to the sound, despite - or perhaps because of - his quavering, slightly effeminate voice. He appeared in such early talkies as the horror film The Terror (Roy Del Ruth, 1928) with May McAvoy and Louise Fazenda, and Sonny Boy (Archie Mayo, with child star Davey lee and Betty Bronson, 1929).
Edward Everett Horton played the role of Professor Nick Potter in Holiday (Edward H. Griffith, 1930) and again in the remake, Holiday (George Cukor, 1938) starring Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant. He also made an impact playing The Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland (Norman Z. McLeod, 1933). Other classics in which he played character roles are The Front Page (Lewis Milestone, 1931) with Adolphe Menjou and Pat O'Brien, The Gay Divorcee (Mark Sandrich, 1934) with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Top Hat (Mark Sandrich, 1935) again with Astaire and Rogers, and Here Comes Mr. Jordan (Alexander Hall, 1941). Horton cultivated his own special variation of the double-take (an actor's reaction to something, followed by a delayed, more extreme reaction). In Horton's version, he smiled ingratiatingly and nodded in agreement with what just happened; then, when realisation set in, his facial features collapsed entirely into a sober, troubled mask. From 1932 to 1938 he worked often with Ernst Lubitsch such as on Trouble in Paradise (Ernst Lubitsch, 1932), Design for Living (Ernst Lubitsch, 1933), and The Merry Widow (Ernst Lubitsch, 1934) starring Maurice Chevalier and Jeanette MacDonald. Later he worked with Frank Capra on Lost Horizon (Frank Capra, 1937) as the erratic paleontologist, Alexander P. Lovett, and Arsenic and Old Lace (Frank Capra, 1944). During the 1950s, Horton embraced the new medium of television with enthusiasm. His television career started in 1949 in the drama 'The Man Who Came to Dinner' and he appeared regularly on the small screen for the next 20 years in programs such as I Love Lucy (1952), The Red Skelton Hour (1957-1962), Dennis the Menace (1962-1963), Burke's Law (1963-1965), and Batman (1966). He gained a completely new fanbase as the storyteller in the animated series Fractured Fairy Tales (1959-1962). He was also the befuddled Hekawi medicine man Roaring Chicken on the Western comedy series F Troop (1965). His later feature films include Pocketful of Miracles (Frank Capra, 1961) starring Bette Davis and Glenn Ford, the highly successful It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (Stanley Kramer, 1963) with Spencer Tracy, and Sex and the Single Girl (Richard Quine, 1964), starring Tony Curtis and Natalie Wood. His last film role was in the comedy Cold Turkey (Norman Lear, 1971), in which his character sat in a wheelchair and communicated only through facial expressions. Horton died before the film was released. During his long career, he appeared in more than 120 films and never tied himself down with a long-term contract to any single studio. He remained a freelancer throughout his long career. In the theatre, he appeared in a number of revivals of the comedy play 'Springtime for Henry' beginning in the 1930s and extending into the 1960s. He played the part of the effete Henry Dewlip more than 3,000 times. At the age of 84, Edward Everett Horton died of cancer in 1970 in Encino, Los Angeles. He is interred at Forest Lawn, Glendale, CA. According to an in-depth article by Eve Golden in Classic Images magazine, Edward's longtime companion was actor Gavin Gordon, who was 15 years his junior. Not much was ever documented on the couple. They had appeared together in a 1931 production of Noël Coward's 'Private Lives' and acted in one film together, Pocketful of Miracles (Frank Capra, 1961). For his contribution to the motion picture industry, Edward Everett Horton has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6427 Hollywood Boulevard.

Everett was going to be my entry into the Color Contrast weekly photo contest on Digital Photography School (DPS) as his shirt contrasts nicely with the orange shirt and back bag of the spectator behind him. Alas, another photo won out in the selection process.
