After a lingering illness of several years with paralysis this good man entered his rest Sunday morning. The funeral services were held at the Baptist church Tuesday afternoon where Mr. Wadsworth had been a conscientious, faithful servant of his Master during his residence in Goldfield. A number of relatives from out of town were present at the funeral. The sermon was given by Rev. J. S. Nicholson the pastor, who had been an intimate friend of the deceased during the last years of his life. A more particular obituary will be given in these items next week. –Goldfield

E. Wadsworth was born Nov. 6, 1867, at El Paso, Ill., and died Dec. 27, 1914, at his home at Goldfield, Iowa, aged 47 years, 1 month and 21 days. He grew to manhood at the place of his birth and was married there in 1893 to Cora M. Worley also of that place. Their family consisted of five children, Blanche, Hal, Evelyn, Lincoln, and Prudence. All are living except Prudence, who died in infancy.

Besides the immediate family who mourn there are still living the aged mother of the deceased, four brothers and two sisters. Mr. Wadsworth and family moved to this place in 1895 and have since been greatly beloved and respected because of their worth as christian citizens. During his long and painful illness his friends have multiplied because of his unselfish and patient Christian character expressed in every action and thought of his life. The influence for good of such a life is unmeasurable. –Goldfield
