daughters were with him during his last hours and did all that loving hands
could do.

took a great interest in the welfare of the order and took an active interest in
all-its meetings. He became a member of the Trinity Episcopal Church of this

need; and to his wife and children he was the best of husbands and the kindest
of fathers. Funeral services were held from t he Episcopal church on Sunday
afternoon, Rev. F.G. Williams performing the last sad rites. The Woodmen were
present in a body and in beautiful words bade farewell to their neighbor at the
grave. Burial was in the family lot in Graceland. w/Card of Thanks. [Iowa Co.
