[EYRE, THOMAS]

Thomas Eyre – After having just barely completed his four score years of life, Thomas Eyre died at his home in Clarinda last Tuesday, May 19, 1903, after a painful illness of several weeks duration. He was born in Fayette county, Ohio, May 9, 1823, and was married to Hannah E. [llen] McClure November 13, 1845, so that for over fifty-eight years they have shared the joys and sorrows incident to human life. Four children were born to them, two sons, both of whom died in infancy, and two daughters, Mrs. A. [ugustus] B. Saum and Mrs. G. [ilbert] L. [afayette] Shaul, still living and left to mourn the loss of a loving father. Mr. and Mrs. Eyre could not endure the lonesomeness of a home without children and so four orphan children were adopted and raised by this excellent couple. These were Jacob and Isaac Taylor, now residents of Kansas, and Catherine and Ellis Anderson. Mr. Eyre moved to Illinois in '56, remaining there but a short time after which he removed to Iowa in February '57, establishing his home in Wapello county, six miles from Ottumwa and made that their home until two years ago when they came to Clarinda. Mr. Eyre was raised a Quaker but joined the Methodist church when a young man and was always in after life identified with that organization and he was not simply a member in name but in fact and his good works in the church will not soon be forgotten. He was also a member of the I. O. O. F., in fact the oldest member of the lodge at Ottumwa, and in token of respect and esteem in which he was held, the lodge sent a representative here in the person of Mr. Firkins, chaplain of the lodge. Mrs. Daniel Baum, of Ottumwa, also came to attend the funeral. In addition to his wife and two daughters above named, he leaves a brother and sister in Ohio and a brother in Colorado. Mrs. Shaul was unable to be communicated with by telegraph owing to the furious storm raging in the west. Her home is now in Grangeville, Idaho, and as the town is quite a distance from the railroad, it would have been impossible for her to be here. Mr. Eyre was kind and gentle spirited and attracted many friends to his side and although he has been a sufferer for many years from rheumatism he maintained his cheerful and happy disposition. The aged wife who is left alone on this side of the river has the sympathy of the entire community.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. E. E. IlgenFritz, pastor of the Methodist church and were attended by a large concourse of friends. The music for the occasion was furnished by a quartet composed of Messrs. Otis Lucas, H. R. Spry, Edwin Lisle, and Orie Keener. The services at the grave were conducted by the Odd Fellows under the direction of the visiting brother from Ottumwa.

Richard H. Herzberg – Richard H. Herzberg, formerly of Nodaway township and Clarinda, was accidentally killed at Dodge City, Kan., last Saturday, Nov. 1, 1913. He was living near Dodge City but was about to move to a farm he had bought near Topeka and was riding with a neighbor, Mr. Harms, who was driving a mule team, into Dodge City. He was on his way to Topeka on business. As the team was near the end of its journey the team became frightened by an automobile and ran away. Mr. Herzberg seized hold of the lines to assist his neighbor in handling the mules and about the time they were under control it appears that he fell to the ground. His skull was crushed by the fall.
Information of his death reached his brother-in-law, William Wehmiller, in Clarinda, by telegraph, Saturday afternoon. Mr. Wehmiller and Miss Rosa Herzberg, a daughter of the deceased who was here visiting at the time, left Saturday evening for Dodge City, and Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Herzberg of Nodaway township left for that place Sunday.
The remains of the late Mr. Herzberg arrived in Clarinda Tuesday evening accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Herzberg, Mr. Wehmiller and the widow and two children of the deceased.

He came to the United States when he was a small boy. He was married in March 1880 to Miss Amelia Niewette, in Page county, and to them three children were born. His wife died in March 1890. In 1893 he [was] married to Miss Amelia Wehmiller, who survives him. Four sons and one daughter were born to his second union, who survive.
Besides having been a farmer in Nodaway township, Mr. Herzberg was from Jan. 1, 1887 to the fall of 1893 in partnership in the implement business with J. H. Driftmier in Clarinda. In the spring of 1894 Mr. Herzberg moved with his family to near Springfield, Mo., and after four years spent in Missouri returned to Nodaway county [township], Page county, and after living in Nodaway township about nine years they moved to near Dodge City, Kan., about four years ago.

Mrs. R. B. Hite – Mrs. R. [obert] B. [arry] Hite passed away Saturday evening, Sept. 2, 1933 at about seven o'clock in her home at 221 North Thirteenth St.
The end of her earthly life came unexpectedly as is so often the case when it is caused by heart trouble, from which she had suffered for some time. Her death and that of her husband, R. [obert] B. [arry] Hite occurred scarcely five months apart, Mr. Hite having died April 15, 1933 at almost the same hour, seven o'clock.
Theodosia Bell McGuire was born February 23, 1858 in Taylor county, Iowa. She was the daughter of David and Rachel McGuire. The family home was originally in Crawford county, Ohio. Upon coming to Iowa in 1857 the family, consisting of father, mother and three sons, settled on a farm near Siam. In 1869 Mr. McGuire purchased the block of ground bounded by Washington, Chestnut, Thirteenth and Twelfth Sts., on the southwest corner of which the family home was built. This residence was occupied by some member of the family until the time of the death of Mrs. McGuire in 1910. There, on the 29th of February 1876, occurred the marriage of Theodosia B. McGuire and Robert Barry Hite. The new family home was built on the northwest corner of the block, owned by the bride's father, and here Mrs. Hite has dwelt for fifty-seven years, endearing herself to successive groups of neighbors.

Wells in Colorado Springs, Colo., Miss Lillian Hite in Chicago, Fred A. Hite in Crockett, California and Robert Beryl Hite in Tarkio, Mo.
Only one of the three brothers and two sisters of Mrs. Hite survive. The eldest of the family, A. D. McGuire of Eugene, Oregon, is living, the others, W. W. McGuire of Northfield, Minn., and California, A. C. McGuire, residing in Oklahoma, Emma McGuire Wyatt of Chicago and California, and an infant sister, having passed away previously.

She served as the third Worthy Matron of that organization and at almost every station during the years of her devotion to the order.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. A. B. Thutt at the residence Wednesday morning at ten o'clock.

Funeral of Salmon Warren Hurlbut – The funeral of the late Salmon Warren Hurlbut, who died at his home at 205 South Eighteenth street, this city, Wednesday, oct. 22, in the eighty-first year of his age, was held Friday, the 24th inst., at the home, at 2:30 o'clock. The services were well attended by friends and neighbors, as well as relatives, and a number of people were present from out of town. One daughter of the deceased, Mrs. T. A. Richey of Villisca, was prevented by ill health from being in attendance. The other of the immediate family were present: the surviving wife; son, E. E. Hurlbut and daughter, Miss Geraldine Hurlbut. Those from a distance who came to the funeral were a nephew of the deceased, W. E. Hurlbut of Sedalia, Mo.; a granddaughter, Mrs. George Gilmor of Shenandoah and a son-in-law, T. A. Richey of Villisca; Edwin Henshaw of Des Moines, Mr. and Mrs. J. G.

Rumbaugh and L. T. Cook.
The services were conducted by an old friend of the deceased, Rev. Enoch Hill, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church of College Springs, who was a near neighbor of the late Mr. Hurlbut in Villisca.
Mr. Hill's intimate knowledge of the life of Mr. Hurlbut enabled the pastor to speak of the deceased as he was. Presenting in brief form important incidents that had been written concerning Mr. Hurlbut, the speaker elaborated upon them and brought out much that showed the estimable, upright and useful character of the deceased. He likened Mr. Hurlbut unto Moses for his meekness, although, being meek, Mr. Hill said, Mr. Hurlbut was not wishy-washy; neither was Moses; Mr. Hurlbut had strong convictions and was free to express his opinions. Again, Mr. Hill considered that Mr. Hurlbut was like Job, because of his patience and he was like Elijah because of his goodness. Mr. Hill dwelt upon the fact of Mr. Hurlbut having left to his family the fragrance of a good name and what it meant to have done so.

Mr. Hill referred to what a traveling man had said concerning Mr. Hurlbut when he heard that he was dead. "That was a good man," declared the traveling man.
The pastor spoke thoughtfully, words to be of comfort and consolation to the mourning relatives. He gave an impressive lesion for all within the sound of his voice; that it is not the problem of death that should concern us as much as the problem of how to live.
The singing was by a male quartette composed of John T. D. Keener, Guy H. Lain, Otis R. Lucas and Glen Foster, who sang, "Jesus, Savior, Comfort Me;" "Beyond the Hill Tops," and "Art Thou Weary?"

The pallbearers were W. E. Stevens, W. W. Welch, H. L. Chamberlain, C. T. Hill, C. F. Luederand Ed C Lane.
There were many beautiful floral emblems.
Interment was in the Clarinda city cemetery, in the Hurlbut family lot beside three children who preceded the deceased to the grave.
In his occupation as a carpenter the late Mr. Hurlbut did much important work. He had the contract for building the first bridge over the West Nodaway river between Clarinda and Hawleyville and did considerable building for a railroad in Nebraska. In may structures of various kinds he faithfully used his carpenter tools in a truly workmanlike manner.
Mr. Hurlbut was gifted as a singer, and thousands of people have been charmed by his voice.

[KUHN, ANNA ELIZABETH SWISHER]
Villisca Review (Villisca, Iowa), Friday, March 6, 1925, p. 1, 5
Mrs. Anna E. Kuhn – Mrs. Anna E. Kuhn died about 12:30 o'clock Friday morning at her home on East Fourth street, her death resulting from acute indigestion.
She had not been ill of late and on Thursday she was feeling in excellent health, having spent part of the day in the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. I. Woods, where she was entertained at dinner. In the afternoon she returned home and after she had eaten her supper she called Mr. and Mrs. Woods by telephone to let them know she had finished her evening meal and completed her work for the day.
About 9:30 o'clock her daughter, Mrs, Cora J. Nicholson of Nodaway, called her by telephone to see how she was felling and the mother assured her daughter at that time that she was in good health. Soon after 12 'clock that night, however, she came downstairs and calling the central telephone office asked the operator to call Mrs. Woods and have her come to her assistance at once. Mrs. Woods asked the operator to call W. K. Van Camp, also, who lives near Mrs. Kuhn's home, as he could reach her before Mr. and Mrs. Woods could get there from their home on High street.
Mr. Van Camp went at once to Mrs. Kuhn's home but was unable to get in. Mr. and Mrs. Woods soon arrived, and a back door was found unlocked, which Mrs. Kuhn evidently had unlocked after calling over the telephone. She then lay down on a couch where she was found dead by Mr. and Mrs. Woods and Mr. Van Camp when they reached her side. The body was still warm, and she had been dead but a few minutes. 
Anna Elizabeth Swisher was born in Franklin county, Pennsylvania, on August 28, 1840, where she grew to womanhood. She was married to Thos. J. Kuhn on Jan. 16, 1862, and they came from Pennsylvania to Page county, Iowa, in 1869, settling on a farm three miles north of Hawleyville. In March 1870, they moved to the farm six miles southeast of Villisca where Mrs. Kuhn lived until 1918, when she came to Villisca to make her home. Mr. Kuhn died in February 1890.
Mrs. Kuhn united with the Methodist church early in life, remaining in that faith until her death. She was the mother of three sons and two daughters, who survive her. They are Elmer E., Shannon City, Iowa; U. S. Grant, Seattle, Wash.; Geo. D., Corona, Cal.; Mrs. Cora J. Nicholson, Nodaway, Iowa; and Mrs. W. I. Woods, Villisca. There are also eleven grandchildren and eighteen great grandchildren. The funeral was held Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the M. E. church, Rev. L. B. Carpenter, formerly Mrs. Kuhn's pastor, preaching the funeral service. Rev. J. L. Boyd, her pastor at the time of her death, assisted in the service. The singing was by Mr. and Mrs. H. H.

[LEBARRON, ROSA ROTH]
Clarinda Journal (Clarinda, Iowa), Thursday, March 30, 1933, p. 5
Mrs. C. B. LeBarron – Mrs. C. B. LeBarron, a resident of Shenandoah for fifty-five years, died Saturday, March 18, after four months of illness. She came to that city in 1878 with the family of Rev. William Plested direct from New York City. Rev. Plested was the first resident minister of the Congregational church. Miss Rosa Roth, who was in the employ of the minister's family, brought her younger brother with her. She was born in the heart of New York City, March 4, 1861, the spring of the opening of the Civil war. Her parents, John George Roth and Fredricka Darra-Roth, came direct from Germany to the United States in January of that year, a few months before she was born. Their home in New York City was between First and Second streets and between Avenue A and Avenue B. For seventeen years, until growing to young womanhood, that growing metropolis was her home.
Her father enlisted in the Union army, leaving her mother and herself, but a babe in arms, on an acreage. Her mother died when she was 14. She took the place of her mother in the home. There were two brothers, one of whom was a cripple. Her father died a little more than two months before she was 16. Friends tried to persuade her to place her brothers in homes, but instead she found a place to work where it was possible for her to keep the little family together. Her afflicted brother died a few months after the father. She was the oldest of twelve children, her father, mother and ten children had been called by death.
Aug. 27, 1879, she and C. B. LeBarron were united in marriage. For 53 years they had trod life's pathway together. Her companion was a pioneer son of pioneers, born on a farm in the vicinity of Manti before Shenandoah sprang into existence. Two children were born to them: Charles R. LeBarron of Clarinda, who was constant in his attention to his mother during her illness and Mrs. Frank Johnson of Shenandoah, who shared with him the ministry of a devoted daughter. They were not the only ones who shared that fine motherhood, for twelve grandchildren and five great grandchildren mourn with them.
Mrs. LeBarron was reared under the influence of the German Lutheran church. For years she had in her possession her grandmother's Bible, which had been published at least a century before Mrs. LeBarron was born. She had a card issued by the Lutheran cemetery of Middle Village, New York City, giving the burial record of her mother and father. In the home of Rev. Plested she came in contact with the Congregational church and in later years united with the same and was a member at the time of her death.
All during her suffering, which at times was most intense, there was such a wonderful patience and fortitude. She was so deeply appreciative of every kindness shown her, of every manifestation of thoughtfulness given by others. She never forgot to express her gratitude. All during her illness there was the constant presence and tender nursing of Mrs. Charles R. LeBarron. Her love and devotion was as gentle and as helpful as though she were her very daughter. In the death of Mrs. LeBarron, Shenandoah has lost another pioneer esteemed because of her character and motherhood.

[MCCARTNEY, NETTIE]
Page County Democrat (Clarinda, Iowa), Thursday, February 28, 1878, p. 3
Died. McCartney – At Clarinda, Iowa, February 21, 1878, Nettie McCartney, aged thirteen years and six months.
Nettie was a bright, interesting child, an especial favorite of her associates and admired by all who knew her. She suffered intensely for four weeks of her last illness, her disease defeating all attempts of human skill to subdue or to greatly alleviate it. Toward the last she seemed conscious that her life would shortly be demanded of her, but she was perfectly willing to yield it up to the Good Giver. Just before she died she sang the XXIII Psalm with a voice sweet and pure as birds—a most happy ending of her pure young life. Her funeral on the 23d, at the U. P. church, was largely attended by sympathizing friends. Though "He doeth all things well," this is one dispensation of Providence to which it must be hard to become resigned. It is indeed sad—very sad to think that one so pure, so gentle, so perfectly lovely, so full of promise should have a life so brief. But,
"---The good die first; the bad, like summer 
Lights, burn to the socket."
The greatly bereaved family have the universal sympathy of the community in these their hours of sorrow.

Death of Jacob Mains
Former Villisca Citizen Succumbs to Paralysis
Tuesday, November 4, 1913, occurred the death of Jacob Mains at the W. F. Schenck farm near Hawleyville, the cause of death being paralysis. Mr. Mains was on a wagon with some household goods on Friday prior to his death and was near Hawleyville when he was found in the road stricken with paralysis. He was moving from the F. P. Barr farm near Bedford to the W. F. Schenck farm near Hawleyville and was taken to the latter place in a critical condition.
Jacob Mains was born at Terre Haute, Indiana, May 6, 1846 and was sixty-seven years, five months and twenty-nine days of age at the time of his death. His mother died when he was five years of age and shortly after he moved with his father to Page county, Iowa. With the exception of a year in Kansas and three years in Des Moines he had lived in Page and Montgomery counties until the time of his death. He was married in 1866 to Miss Amelia Jane Moyer in Brown county, Iowa, and to this union nine children were born. He is survived by his wife, six children and a number of grandchildren. Those children who are living are: W. R., living one and one-half miles south of Villisca; Ora O., Of New Market; Earl, of Nodaway; Mrs. Ed Shepherd, of Oakland; Mrs. Leota Newman, of Coburg and Mrs. Clyde Cowell, of Des Moines.
Mr. Mains was for a number of years a resident of Villisca, moving here from Page county about ten or twelve years ago. He professed conversion some years ago in [a] meeting conducted by the Christian Advent church, but circumstances and conditions combined to hinder him from taking membership in the church. This, however, did not deter him from living the life of a Christian and he lived a consistent, honest and upright life among men. He is mourned by a large number of intimate friends and acquaintances in Villisca.
The funeral services were held from the Baptist-Disciple church of Villisca last Friday at 2:30 p. m., conducted by Rev. O. W. Winter. Interment was in the Villisca cemetery. All of his family were present at the services as well as a large number of his intimate friends from Hawleyville and vicinity and Villisca.

[PARISH, JENNIE WICKEN]
Clarinda Journal (Clarinda, Iowa), Thursday, July 27, 1922, p 5
Mrs. Jennie W. Parish – Following the accident, Wednesday, June 21, when Mrs. Jennie W. Parish fell from the back porch at her home on North Fifteenth street, this city, and struck her head, whereby she sustained a very serious injury, she died Friday, July 21, 1922.
Death took place at the home where she had lived the later years of her life and where she was accustomed to living alone, being the last of her immediate family and preferring to maintain her own home as she kept it. Favored with the best of medical skill and the close attention of kind friends and neighbors, with recovery earnestly hoped for by the many who knew and respected her, she was not to recover, and now gone from the experiences of this world, to her eternal reward, her demise is widely regretted.
The maiden name of Mrs. Parish was Jennie Wicken. She was a native of Wisconsin, born at Muscoda. Sept. 12, 1869, she was married to Frank W. Parish, a native of Iowa County, Wis. Two of their children died at an early age. A son, Charles O. Parish, reached the years of early manhood and was a student of the Chicago university when he was attacked by an illness which proved fatal and then the husband and father died, and a few years later the only surviving child, Miss Grace Parish, a college graduate, passed away. And now the wife, widow, mother, is gone—death wiping away a family.
The Parish family was famed for its intellectuality. F. W. Parish, the husband and father, was an able business man who had followed railroading, hotel keeping and other pursuits before he came from Council Bluffs to Clarinda in 1875. On locating in Clarinda, he purchased the drug stock and good will of N. L. & A. S. Van Sandt—the store of which that now owned by F. W. Beecher is the successor. Mr. Parish who when a young man at Boscobel, Wis., worked in a grain house at $20 a month, finally became a prosperous merchant and banker in Clarinda, and at the time of his death had been long the president of the Clarinda National bank. In a Page county history published in 1880 it is said of him that "he enlisted Sept. 28, 1862, in the Sixth Wisconsin battery and re-enlisted in 1864, serving until the close of the war and was discharged Aug. 26, 1865, at Madison, Wis. He was promoted to sergeant of the battery for gallant service in defending his guns at the battle of Corinth, when the company lost thirty-two out of sixty-three in less than six minutes. In this engagement he received a saber cut in the head and also in his left arm and was carried from the field in an insensible condition."
At the funeral of Mrs. Parish, which was held Sunday afternoon at the late home of the deceased, her pastor, Dr. A. B. Marshall of the church of which she had long been a member—the First Presbyterian—conducted the service, in the presence of old friends, neighbors and acquaintances. Dr. Marshall paid high tribute to her memory—for usefulness in the church and community—for her quiet, unostentatious charities and referred to her brightness of mind and her bravery in bearing the severe trials she had passed through in losing husband and children. Notwithstanding her troubles, the pastor said, she was strong in her faith in the Christian religion and had observed to him, "That the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away; I don't know why; but blessed be the name of the Lord."
Among the organizations of which Mrs. Parish was a member was Clarinda chapter, No. 214, Order of the Eastern Star; Chapter AE, P. E. O., and Charles Linderman circle of the Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic. She and Mr. Parish were both charter members of the Eastern Star chapter.
The pallbearers were William Ward, J. F. Driftmier, A. W. Palmer, O. M. Cook, C. F. Butler, Hugh Miller, C. E. Blair and Max Kaufman.
From out of town for the funeral were the following relatives of Mrs. Parish: Earl Wicken of Chicago and Ray Wicken of Fort Dodge, sons of George Wicken of Boscobel, Wis., who is a nephew of the deceased. Mrs. Albert Wicken of Orleans, Nebr., wife of the only surviving brother of Mrs. Parish, also attended the funeral. The nephew, George Wicken, of Boscobel, Wis., came to see his aunt after her accident, but was unable to be at the funeral.
There were many floral offerings.
Interment was in the Clarinda cemetery.
Mrs. Parish left a large estate, most of which she has willed to various branches of the Presbyterian church—some of it locally and part of it otherwise. It is expected that the will willbe admitted to probate soon—perhaps as early as next week.

Mrs. Jennie Parish – One who has lived in Clarinda has left us, with the passing away July21 of Mrs. Jennie Parish, who sustained a severe fall several weeks ago, from the effects of which she was unable to recover. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon, from her late residence, 514 N 14th Street, conducted by her pastor, Rev. A. B. Marshall, D. D., interment being in Clarinda cemetery, by the grave of her husband who passed away a number of years ago.
Jennie Wicken was born January 29th, 1845, thus being past seventy-seven years of age. She was the daughter of William and Mary Osborn Wicken, natives of London, England, who immigrated to this country, settling first in Wisconsin. She was married to Frank W. Parish Sept. 12th, 1869. Of their eight children only two lived to the age of accountability, Charles and Grace, and each of these passed away before their mother. Mrs. Parish was a devoted member of the United Presbyterian Church and has left much of her earthly belongings to that institution and its allied societies, $44,000 being left to missions and $2000 to the Clarinda Presbyterian Church. She has a brother living in Orleans, Neb., Albert Wicken, who is an invalid, whose wife was at the funeral services Sunday. She is also survived by a nephew, Geo. Wicken of Boscobel, Wis., who visited his aunt shortly after she was injured, and his two sons, Ray Wicken of Fort Dodge and Earl of Chicago were at the funeral.
Mrs. Parish had a large place in the community life of Clarinda, in her younger days, Mr. Parish having a drugstore on the corner where Beecher's Drug Store now is located and was President of the Clarinda National Bank at time of his death.

[SWANSON, ANDREW J.]

Andrew J. Swanson 
Essex Independent, July 21: When the death of A. J. Swanson was announced Wednesday morning shortly after 9 o'clock it came as a shock to many for it was not known that he was seriously ill. He had, however, been in declining health for the past few years. Nine months ago, while visiting at the home of his son Harold, east of Shenandoah, he was taken seriously ill and for several days it was thought that he could not survive. He recovered and was brought home and since that time has had several bad attacks but has recovered until Tuesday night he was taken very bad. The end came Wednesday morning in his own home where he was surrounded by his beloved wife and his five children. On the day before his death he was out about the yard with his son Ivan, who was mowing the lawn and cleaning up about the place and seemed in his usual good spirits. That evening he sat in the room and read a chapter from the Bible and offered prayer and afterward remarked that it would perhaps be his last and so it proved to be. He was conscious of the fact that his end was near, and he was perfectly ready and willing to go.
Andrew J. Swanson was born in Sweden July 2, 1842, and died at his home in this city July 19, at the age of 79 years and 17 days.
He came to America in 1868 and followed the business of railroading for thirty years, much of the time being a section foreman on the main line here and at Riverton, Iowa. He had charge of the gang of men who laid the steel of the railroad from Villisca to Clarinda and also of a gang of men at one time on the main line when they were laying double track. Fifteen years of his career as a railroader he made his home in Essex and three years in Riverton. He afterwards moved to his farm in Douglas township where he lived for thirteen years and ten years ago he moved to Essex where he bought a beautiful home and has since resided.
He was married April 14, 1874, at Burlington, Iowa, to Miss Emma Peterson. To this union nine children were born, three daughters and six sons; one daughter and three sons have passed away. The five remaining children, who with the wife and mother are left to mourn, are Mrs. John Hagglund of this place; Harry, county auditor of Fremont county; Esther, Harold and Ivan who live near Essex. He also leaves behind two brothers, Charles of Stanton and Ernest of Douglas township and two sisters, Mrs. C. G. Larson and Mrs. C. P. Carlson, both of Stanton, ten grandchildren and one great grandchild, besides other relatives and friends.
His funeral will be held Sunday afternoon at the Lutheran church at 3 o'clock, conducted by his pastor and the remains laid to rest in the family lot in Essex cemetery.
Mr, Swanson was a loyal member and supporter of the Lutheran church and when health permitted was a regular attendant upon its services. He was a kind and affectionate father and loving husband and an upright man and citizen and will be greatly missed in this community.

For near twenty-nine years, Mr. and Mrs. Thompson have traveled the journey of life together and had a family of nine children, who had made home pleasant and the parents happy; but Death, whose cold and icy hands know nothing but the will of the One that does all things for the best, laid his hands upon her and has taken her for his own, and now the whole family mourn for their dear departed mother and wife, who cannot return.

[WAGONER, HENRY, SR., 1840-1926]
Clarinda Herald (Clarinda, Iowa), Thursday, April 22, 1926, p. 10
Henry Wagoner Sr. – The deceased, Henry Wagoner Sr. was born on the 14 Aug. 1840 in Hanover, Germany. It was here also that he was baptized in the name of the Triune God and later renewed his baptismal vow at his confirmation. In the year 1859 at the age of 19 years Mr. Wagoner immigrated to this country. On arriving in America, he went to Cook Co., Illinois and afterward worked on a farm near Madison.
On the 20th March 1868 the deceased was united in the bonds of holy matrimony with Rebecca Grieme. In 1871 the couple came here to Page County where both spent the rest of their lives. In March 1922 his wife preceeded him in death. The union was blessed with twelve children, two of which also preceeded him in death in their early infancy.
Mr. Wagoner was the senior member of Immanuel Ev. Lutheran Church, which he joined immediately upon coming to Page Co. For many years he was an active member of the congregation serving as its treasurer for six years and three years as its president. In late years, however, he was unable to worship with the congregation on account of his great age, not being able to attend. Nevertheless, he was provided with the bread and water of life privately of which he was always glad to partake.
In spite of his many years the strength and vitality of the deceased was remarkable. However, in the last year and especially in the last month, one could not help to notice that he was failing. He became more feeble from week to week. On Saturday afternoon the soul left its habitation and was carried, as we confidently hope, into Abraham's bosom. His body being laid to rest in the firm hope of a glorious resurrection into eternal life.
Mr. Wagoner was not only a Christian; but he was also a patriot, loyal to his adopted country and its flag. When the dark cloud of the Rebellion swept over this land he entered the Third Illinois Cavalry as a volunteer and served four years and two months, taking part in some of the most important battles of the war and many engagements of lesser importance. Immediately after his discharge he reenlisted for another two months service in some Indian trouble in the Dakotas.
The deceased had reached the ripe old age of 85 years, 8 months and 3 days. He is survived by ten children, John, Henry, Martin, Karl and Ed Wagoner, and the daughters, Mrs. H. F. Sunderman, Mrs. John Herzberg, Mrs. Ed Sunderman, Mrs. Jensen from Oklahoma, besides 39 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren.
Also at this coffin we pray: "Lord teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom."
Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon from the Immanuel Lutheran Church, with Rev. F. C. Israel, pastor, officiating. Interment was made in the church cemetery.

He was in service four years and two months. When he returned home from the war the Indians were causing a great deal of bloodshed among the settlers in South Dakota, so he again went into service.

Sudden Death. – On Sabbath night our town was startled with the announcement that our worthy townsman, J. [erome] F. Yates, was dead. Mr. Yates had been sick for some time, but all thought he was fast recovering, in fact, he ate quite a hearty supper on Sabbath night and had chatted quite freely with his family before lying down. He had been using chloral hydrate to make him sleep and at times suffered severe pain from rheumatism and took freely of this. It appears that he got too much, and the result was fatal. All his many friends here and other places will regret this sad affair. On Wednesday, at three o'clock his funeral was preached by Rev. Bresee in the M. E. Church. The remains were conducted from his residence to the church by the Masonic order, and from church to the depot, where the remains were shipped to New York state for interment. The whole community mourn with the bereaved wife and relatives over this sad affair.
