Joseph Pierce Bosisto, son of Rev. Reuben and Mary Ann Bosisto, was born in Helston, Cornwall County, England, November 16, 1848, and died at his home in Holt Township, Taylor County, Iowa, December 17, 1929, at the age of 81 years, 1 month ad 1 day.
The deceased came with his parents from Penzance, England, having set sail from the port of Penzance in the county of Cornwall, England on July 1st, 1849, for the United States. After seven weeks and three days on their passage and four weeks more by steamboat, canal and wagon, reached Jenkinsville, Lafayette County, Wisconsin. Five years after, he with his parents, moved to Elk Grove, Wisconsin, and in 1871, moved to Taylor County, Iowa, settling in Holt Township where he resided until his death.
He was married on March 8, 1882, to Martha Harlow. To this union were born two children who survive.
In young manhood he confessed faith in Jesus as his Savior and united with the Methodist Church at Elk Grove, Wisconsin, and later transferred to the Iveyville M.E. Church, he being the last surviving charter member of this organization. He was in reality the founder of this church having secured the pledges and collected the money with which to build the church building nearly fifty years ago, and was an active worker in the church as long as his health and strength would permit.
He leaves to mourn his departure, his wife, Martha Bosisto; one son, Ira, who remained on the farm in faithful ministration to his parents, one daughter, Mrs. Frank West, who still resides near the home of her childhood, one brother, Albert Bosisto of Tabor, Iowa, two sisters, Mrs. Howes Smith of Corning, Iowa, and Mrs. Emma Myattway who resides in California and many other relatives and friends.
Although this good man has passed on to the other shore his influence still lives and it can be truthfully said that the world is better by him having lived in it. He was a faithful steward of Christ’s church, a kind husband, loving father and a friend and neighbor to all who knew him.
Funeral services were held Friday, December 20th at the Iveyville M.E. Church, conducted by Rev. J. Owen Smith of Des Moines, Iowa, assisted by Rev. Cecil Saville, pastor of the church and Rev. Humphrey of the Fairview Church. The songs were beautifully rendered by Mack Richey, Earl Perry, Mrs. Harvey Long and Mrs. Frank Murdock, with Mrs. Albert Lund at the piano. Burial was in the Prairie Rose Cemetery. The Pallbearers were C.E. Okey, Joe Cummings, Ira Jackson, Marion Cramer, J.F. Hewitt and R. A. Gill.
