On Wednesday evening, Dec 28, just as sunset, the Death Angel spread his mantel over another one of our households and took the mother and loved one from the home. Mrs Silas Ingram was born Feb 4, 1820, in Campbell county, Tennessee, and died Dec 28, 1904. Had she lived until next month she would have been eighty-five years old. About three weeks ago she was taken ill with a severe cold and a slight attack of pneumonia, which caused her death. Probably the disease would not have proved serious had she not been so old. All that medical skill and loving hands could do was done to prolong her life, but the loving Father saw fit to remove her from her earthly home to her home in heaven where she prayed to go during her illness. Her's has been a noble Christian, useful life. She has been a member of the Methodist Episcopal church sixty-eight years. Her husband preceded her to his heavenly home eight years ago. Her children that are living, six in number, were all at her bedside when she died: Mr R.H. Delap, Mrs J.S. Nace, L.S. Ingram and D.F. Ingraham are living here, and Mrs D.S. McCune and William Inghram at Greeley, Colo. She has seen twelve of her great grandchildren. The funeral service were held Thursday, Dec 29. After prayer at the late home of the deceased, the services were conducted at the Oak Grove school house by Rev Fletcher Homan of the Methodist Episcopal church of Clarinda, taking for his text, John the fourteenth chapter "Let not your heart be trouble," by request, that being her favorite chapter. Her body was laid to rest at the Oak Grove cemetery. We shall miss her, but shall ever cherish her memory and be comforted with the hope of looking forward to the happiness of meeting "over there."

Philo of Lake View, Wis., became his bride Nov. 15, 1866, and they made their home there until 1870 when Fremont county was selected as a settling place. Three children survive the father, Frank D. Inman of Sioux City, Oscar S. Inman of Pacific Junction and Clyde H. Inman of Thurman, with whom he has made his home seven years. His wife died after a lingering illness of twenty years, Jan. 14, 1908, when the Inmans lived at Randolph. Miles Inman was known widely, as for years he bought stock in Fremont, Page and Mills counties. His friends were legion. Although he was not affiliated with any church he had often expressed his faith in the Divine Being, reading his Bible a great deal, often reading it to his little grandsons.

Everyone who knew him well loved him, and he loved everyone and knew no strangers. Everywhere he went he took happiness with him and wound himself around them hearts of all. His death seems an irreparable loss, and his short stay with us will never be forgotten. His funeral was held from the home of his grandfather, L. S. Ingram, with interment at Oak Grove cemetery, Tuesday afternoon, at 2 o'clock. The services were conducted by Rev. A. S. Woodard of the Methodist church of Clarinda. Four uncles of the child acted as pallbearers. He has gone from us leaving only a beautiful memory of love. A flower taken in the early time, as such will we always remember our darling.
We kissed our little darling As we laid him down to sleep,
And closed his snowy eyelids,
Through which the smiles would peep.
We closed the icy fingers
Which always clung so sweet;
And kissed our Darling Baby, as We gave him to God to keep. CLARINDA JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, May 4, 1916
