Dell

John Walter Dell was born in New Jersey April 3, 1853, and died Jan. 26, 1913.

He came to Iowa with his parents when he was a child, living on a farm west of Cresco practically all his life. He leaves one brother, Geo. Dell, of Cresco, Iowa, five nephews and two nieces.

He had suffered from the loss of his hearing for nearly twenty years which has kept him from happiness, and social enjoyment. Mr. Dell on account of his affliction was of a retiring disposition, and yet had many friends and lived a life of unrightness and purity.

The funeral services were conducted from the M. E. church by Rev. B. W. Soper, the officiating clergyman. Burial was at the Howard Center cemetery.

A number of our people attended the funeral of Walter Dell. We can well say a good neighbor and a good citizen will be missed from our neighborhood in Walter’s departure.
