Death of a Pastor.
Rev. W. A. Pottle, pastor of the Congregational church at New Hampton, for a number of years, until his failing health forced him to resign, died on the lst inst. He had a cancer of the bowels, and underwent several painful operations in the hospitals of Chicago, but without avail. A dispatch announcing his death says, that as a beloved pastor and a respected citizen, none have exceded and few equaled him, and his death casts a pall upon our entire community. Mr. Pottle was an Iowan, reared and educated at Waukon.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows he is buried in the New Hampton Cemetery; however, they show his date of death as April 1, 1909. (the photo of his gravestone clearly shows 1903) It shows his date of birth as August 5, 1853.
