Edward Louis Voland, 76-year-old native and lifelong resident of Brown County, died at his home on Greasy Creek, 2 miles northeast of Nashville, Monday afternoon at 2:25 o'clock from a cerebral hemorrhage. He had been ill only about a week.

Mr. Voland died near the same place and on the same farm where he was born Feb. 17, 1872 to Henry and Christine Schaub Voland. He was married to Miss Rhoda Stinson here in 1905 and they spent their entire married life on the farm where he died. By occupation, he was a farmer and a carpenter and as a workman in the latter trade was known as a highly skilled craftsman. One of the last construction jobs he was employed on was The Nashville House which was completed last fall.

Mr. Voland was a member of the old Presbyterian church of Nashville, which has long since been abandoned, and he had been a member of the Nashville Masonic Lodge for forty-seven years.

Burial was at Garland Brook cemetery, Columbus. The Nashville Masonic lodge had charge of the graveside services.
