After an illness of a few days William Belangee died Friday night in Bristol township. The body lay in state at the Huffman funeral home until Sunday afternoon, when the funeral was held at 2 o'clock with the Rev. Martin Keast, of Grand Junction, preaching the sermon, and Mrs. Florence Davis Bauman, of Des Moines, singing a solo. The burial was made on the family lot in Grand Junction cemetery, where his parents, brothers and sisters are sleeping. Mr. Belangee was born in Indiana in 1854. He came with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Belangee, fifty years ago and settled in Boone county. A few years later they moved to the Grand Junction vicinity. He was one of a family of ten children, all having gone on to the other world but one brother, Perry Belangee, who resides in Long Beach, California. Mr. Belangee is survived by one daughter, Myrtle, who lives in Los Angeles. His good wife and his son, Wallace, preceded him in death many years ago. The only relatives present at the funeral were a nephew and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Whitman of Des Moines.
