CLEAR LAKE, Dec. 10 – A large crowd attended the funeral services for Joseph S. Teed, aged resident of this community, which were held at the home in Oakwood Park Monday afternoon. The Rev. J.R. Tumbleson, pastor of the Methodist Church, conducted the last rites. Sacred music was furnished by O.J. King, soloist, accompanied at the piano by Mrs. Floyd Britt.

Mr. Teed was born Dec. 21, 1854, in Wisbeach, England. When he was about one year of age his parents came to America and located for a short time in Racine county, Wisc., but later moved to Chicago.

After the death of Mrs. Teed Aug. 13 of this year, Mr. Teed failed rapidly in health until Dec. 6 when death came at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Mable Anderson at Mason City.

Those who are left to mourn are A.W. Teed, Watkins Glen, N.Y.; Mrs. Mabel Anderson, Mason City; Mrs. Adolph Kocourek, Lidgerwood, N. Dak.; Mrs. Ethel O’Brien of Clear Lake.
