Albert H. (Bert) Bosisto, was born at Elk Grove, Wisconsin, February 23, 1865, seventy years ago. He was the son of Reuben and Mary Ann Bosisto. His parents were natives of England who sailed to America the 1st of July, 1845. They crossed the ocean in a vessel and were many weeks upon the briny deep. There were nine children in the family, several of whom were born in England. "Bert" as he was best known, was the youngest of the group and the last of that immediate family circle.
In 1871 a caravan of ten families came in covered wagons to southwest Iowa to cast their lot with the pioneers of Taylor County. they founded a settlement known as Iveyville, South and West of Corning. Mr. Bosisto's father was a minister in the Baptist denomination held in high esteem by the people whom he served.
December 12, 1888, Mr. Bosisto and Inez Pickett, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Pickett were united in marriage. Her people had come to Iowa with the caravan that set out from Elk Grove, Wisconsin. She and her husband had much in common in historical background and in pioneering life. A year later, December 6, 1889, a baby daughter was born to them, whom they named Velda, now Mrs. Noah Mumper of New Castle, Wyoming. It was a sacrificial price that this young mother paid for her motherhood, for only a few days after the child was born, the mother returned to the land of the spirit from which she so recently had brought a soul. Mr. Bosisto never married again, but entrusted the care of his only child to his parents. In later life, Velda made her home in Tabor with her uncle and aunt, the Rev. Arthur K. Myattway and his wife. Her uncle was a minister of the Baptist Church in Tabor. Her the young woman enjoyed the advantages of the college city of that day and became active in the work of the local church.
In 1905, Mr. Bosisto came to Tabor to be near his daughter and to engage in his vocation, that of carpentering. He was an able mechanic and made many friends because of his ability and his fine workmanship. for the past six years he has made his home with Mr. and Mrs. Harlan Downing. His recent illness was brief. In the home in which he stayed, he found the comfort and care which meant so much to him. He died August 31.
Funeral services were held Saturday, September 2, at the Reeves Funeral Home at eleven o'clock, conducted by the Rev. Peter Jacobs of Shenandoah, Iowa, former minister of the Congregational Church in Tabor. A quartet, Mrs. Lisle Weatherhead, Mrs. Raymond Brown, Walter Reeves, and Ben Hall sang two numbers, "Sometime We'll Understand" and "No Night There." The flowers were in charge of Mrs. Walter Reeves. Those who bore the casket were Lucius Perkins, Lon Rhodes, Ray Weatherhead, Henry Shaw, Clarence Adamson, and Harlan Downing.
Miss Blanch Dalton was the pianist.
The body was taken to the Boyd Roland Funeral Home in Corning, Iowa, where the casket was opened for the benefit of the many relatives and old time friends of that community where he was so well and so favorably known during his young manhood. Interment was in the Prairie rose Cemetery south and west of Corning, the old family burial place.
Mr. and Mrs. Noah Mumper returned Sunday to their home in New Castle.
