William Carl Henry Althouse, oldest son of Henry Althouse and Anna nee Linderbaum was born May 7, 1897 in Winneshiek County, Iowa

June 26 of the same year he received the sacrament of Holy Baptism at Ossian, Iowa, by Rev. G. Blessin. After chatechetecal instructions he was confirmed Aprl 7, 1912 at Castalia Lutheran church by Rev. E. Gretzloff.

In his childhood the deceased was troubled with many illnesses from which he never seemed to fully recover. At the age of fifteen he was taken to Iowa City for an operation which did not seem to relieve him very much. The last five years he was confined to the bed and on Wednesday, August 11, he was called home to his eternal rest. He bore his affliction which the Lord laid upon hiim with great patience, knowing that when his Savior came that his trials and pains would then be changed to everlasting happiness and rest.

He leaves to mourn his loss, his father and mother, two brothers, Carl and Henry, two sisters, Caroline and Emma and manw relatives and friends. One brother died when a small child.

The funeral was held from the Lutheran church in this city last Friday afternoon, Rev. Schmidt officiating. The interment was in the Postville cemetery.
