--JOHN JAMISON DIED SUNDAY AFTERNOON --
OELWEIN PIONEER DIED AT HIS HOME SUNDAY AFTERNOON at 5 O’CLOCK, AGED
91 YEARS
John Jamison, one of the oldest pioneers of
Oelwein and Fayette county, died at his home in Oelwein Sunday
afternoon at five o'clock, following a long illness due to his age,
he being 91 years old on the 20th of last September.
He was born in Pittsburg, Pa., September 20, 1844,
and came with his parents to Fayette county in 1852. They located at
Asburn where his father, James Jamison, engaged in the mercantile
business for a couple of years and they then moved to a farm near
West Union. John Jamison, after finishing high school at West Union
and Upper Iowa University at Fayette, engaged in business for
himself at Auburn in 1871, being associated with Hall Hoagland.
After continuing the business there, in July 1874 they moved their
stock to Oelwein and continued under the name of Hoagland & Jamison.
They established the Bank of Oelwein the same year, there being no
such institution here at the time. They also engaged in stock buying
with John Irvine. He formed a partnership at the same time with his
brother Thomas, since decreased, and they carried on this as a
hardware line under the name of Jamison Brothers. The firm of
Hoagland & Jamison dissolved about 1876 and Samuel Jamison entered
the partnership with John and they continued this general line of
merchandising until 1890.
In connection with his other business activities
he aided in organizing a bank at West Union, and he was made the
president of it and continued throughout until he retired from
active business about five years ago. With his brother George, since
deceased, they again took over the Bank of Oelwein which he had sold
and was out of for a couple of years. This was in 1884. He continued
at the head of this bank until retiring under the banking stress of
1931-32.
On the 8th of September, 1875, he was united to
Miss Florence Hoagland a daughter of his early partner, at Auburn.
Together they went through the vicissitudes of early pioneers in
Oelwein. They raised their two sons, Ray B. and Fred to manhood.
After filling responsible posts in the community both have since
left Oelwein, Ray going to Des Moines where he is engaged in the
abstract business and Fred going to California, where he is engaged
in business.
Mr. Jamison has had the best care at his home on
North Fredrick Avenue given by his grandson and wife, Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Jamison.
Then as the shadows of life began to reach them,
Mrs. Jamison died February 25, 1935. After more than fifty years of
wedded life, John Jamison was left alone, and bravely has he met the
various trials and tribulations. Mr. Jamison was for many years one
of the trustees of Upper Iowa University along with his many other
activities.
He was a staunch member of the Presbyterian church
and gave liberally of his energy, time and means to make it one of
the strong church organizations of the city.
Politically he was a democrat and was elected county
treasurer of Fayette county against a strong normal republican
majority. He was nominated by the democrats of the state as state
treasurer at a time when such nominations were a mere matter of
form. He always retained a keen interest in affairs of the state and
of his home community. He was one of the most active of men and
entered into whatever he undertook with a will to succeed. He was
always kind, generous, and although he has been removed from the
business activities of the community for some time,
his death will be keenly felt.
The body was taken to the Hintz funeral home to
await definite funeral arrangements. Word has been received from his
son Fred that he will reach Oelwein from his California home about
Wednesday if train service is resumed. While no word has been
received from Ray at Des Moines, where everyone is marooned by the
snow, it is assumed that he will be here.
--MRS H. W. KENISTON DIED TODAY--
Mrs. H. W. Keniston, aged 82 years, died at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. A. R. Miller, 20 Sixth Avenue NW, at 8:45
this morning, from complications due to her age. Since the death of
her husband about 16 years ago she has made her home with her
daughter. The body will be at the Hintz funeral home pending,
definite funeral arrangements.
--JOHN THORPE FUNERAL TOMORROW--
The body of John Thorpe, who died at Mt. Dora,
Florida, and was reported in these columns last Thursday, is
expected to arrive in Oelwein tomorrow, depending on train service
being resumed at that time of course. The deceased was born in
Oelwein 37 years ago but has not lived here for the past 18 years.
He is a nephew of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Munger of Oelwein and a brother
of Mrs. Alvin Connor, formerly of Oelwein but now of Hamburg, Iowa.
The funeral services will be held at Woodlawn cemetery as soon as
the body arrives in charge of the Hintz funeral home. His parents
are both buried here.

--LAST CALL FOR CHRISTMAS SEALS--
Mrs. Pearl Schneider is making one last request to people who still
are
holding their Christmas Seal letters. Please see that they are
returned to
her or to the box at the Gas Office, within the next few days. The
final
report of the chairman is due by the 15th of this month and there
are still
more than two hundred letters unaccounted for.
You are under no obligation to make explanations about why you
didn't
return them sooner but please attach your name and drop them at the
Gas
Office in order to help get the matter cleared up satisfactorily.
--OELWEIN STRUGGLES FOR STORM RELIEF.--
PROBABLY LESS SUFFERING HERE THAN IN MANY PLACES BUT PLENTY OF
INCOVENIENCE.
You may not have received your Sunday paper yesterday, but sometime
during
the day your milkman finally got through. Local dairies reported
that their
supplies of milk were delivered from the country with the use of bob
sleds,
and their own delivery conveyances were able to supply all customers
during
the day.
Attendance at church services was extremely sparse. All Catholic
services
were held, as were those in the Baptist church. Lutheran and
Presbyterian
congregations were notified that there would be no Sunday school or
church.
At the Methodist and Christian churches brief serves were held in
basement
rooms for those who came despite the low temperature and deep
snow-drifts.
A beer truck with a cargo weighing thirteen tons was stuck in a
snow-bank
between here and Maynard, and with the aid of three trucks and a
wreckerfrom the Chevrolet garage, it was finally moved, and a day and a
half.
Father White of the local Sacred Heart church, and Father Holman, of
the Catholic church at Hazelton, were forced to remain twenty-four hours
at the
Will Hall farm after they were stalled north of Oelwein while
returning from Maynard late Saturday afternoon. The hearse, bearing
the body of Father
Bacci, was also stalled on Number 11, Saturday night, and it was not
until
the snow plow came through yesterday, that the twenty eight cars
marooned
between here and Maynard, were able to proceed.
By putting on extra trucks, coal companies reported that unusually
heavy
orders were all delivered Saturday night. In most cases the business
houses
remained open for only a short time in the evening, while some of
them
closed at six o'clock.
The body of Robert Stewart, who died Friday night, remained at the
A. W.
Stewart home in the country, today. The undertakers, who made a trip
out to
the farm by bob-sled, Friday night, were unable to return. Funeral
arrangements will be announced later.
The C.G.W. ran no trains yesterday, most of their snow plows being
stuck
at various points along the system. No service is promised before
tomorrow
at the earliest. Newspapers from Cedar Rapids, Waterloo, Des Moines
and
Chicago were not delivered in Oelwein until this morning. Chicago
papers
came in by star route, having been sent on the Illinois Central as
far as
Independence.
About 200 students from Junior and Senior High schools are absent.
The
majority of the absent one are country pupils unable to reach town.
Three
teachers are marooned out of the city, having spent the weekend away
from
here. Sue Schmidt and Lillian Chivington, who went to Iowa City
Friday
night, are still there today. Inez Johnson, music supervisor drove
to
Jefferson, near Des Moines, Friday night and has been unable to get
back.
Miss Nelle Greene, principal of Harlan school, who spent the weekend
in West
Union managed to get into Oelwein about nine o'clock this morning.
Grade school report most pupils present, with the exception of those
absent from illness.
--FUNERAL OF REV. FATHER J. V. BACCI --
Funeral services for the late Father J. V. Bacci, were held this
morning at
the Sacred Heart church with Archbishop Beckman of Dubuque as
celebrant.
Very Rev. Fr. Martin, of Waterloo acted as assistant priest. Deacon,
Fr.
Holman of Hazelton: sub-deacon, Putz, of Sacred Heart, Waterloo and
second

morning were:
