Herbert D. Angell was born in Erie Co., Pennsylvania, Sept. 24, 1851, and died at his home in Postville, Iowa, Thursday morning, April 16, 1903, in his 52nd year. He came to Iowa with his parents when but two years of age, settling in Clayton county where they resided for a number of years. He afterwards came to Postville, where he has since resided up to the time of his death. He was married to Laura B. McDaneld, Nov. 8, 1879, who with a daughter, Myra, a mother, brother, and two sisters survive him. Herbert Angell was a kind and loving husband and father, honest and upright in all his dealings, ever thoughtful of those dependent upon him. As a neighbor and friend he was without reproach. He was a man of clean habits, and until stricken by the malady that caused his death he was industrious to a marked degree. He was not selfish, but ever thoughtful of those around him. About fourteen years ago he was stricken with a spinal trouble, which despite the most heroic treatment known to medical science they were unable to stay, and gradually it destryed the entire nervous system. For a number of years he continued to work as best he could, but each closing year left him less able to perfom manual labor, and about six years ago he was compelled to refrain from every form of labor. During all these years the faithful wife has ministered to his wants with truest devotion, without a murmur, and to her in this hour of deepest sorrow the hearts of all our people go out in sympathy most sincere. To our brother, neighbor and friend, the harvest of life is over, and we part with the hope and faith that he has gone over to the shores of that bright beyond and into the presence of him who doeth all things well. And commend the loved ones to him who said "come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden". And to our brother, neighbor and friend wa say good bye. The funeral was held from the home last Saturday afternoon at two o'clock, Rev. W.W. Robinson of the M.E. church officiating. Interment in the Postville cemetery.

Card of Thanks.
We wish hereby to thank the many friends, who by word and deed have in so many ways aided and assisted us during the illness and after the death of our beloved husband and son. Mrs. Laura B. Angell, Mrs. F.A. Tripp.
