Postville Herald, Fri., 4 Oct. 1918.

It is with sorrow that will be shared by many Postville friends, that the Herald announces the death at Mercy Hospital in Clinton, Iowa, on Monday evening of this week of James A. Gordon of Preston, Iowa, death resulting from an operation for appendicitis performed the Tuesday previous. "Jim", as he was familiarly known, was for a number of years buttermaker for the Postville Farmers Co-Ooperative Creamery, and was considered one of the best in the state. He was a son of Angus Gordon of Henderson Prairie and at the time of his death was aged about 56 years. He is survived by his wife and two sons, Leo F. of New Hampton and Hillary, a firstclass musician in the United States Marine Corps Band at Newport News, all of whom were with their father during his last hours and who have the tenderest sympathy of all in their sad hour of bereavement.

The remains were brought to Clermont Tuesday evening, and this (Thursday) morning at 9:30 the funeral was held from the Catholic church in that city.
