ISAAC C. TEMPLIN DEAD
Another sudden death occurred in Newton last week, and the circumstances attending it were very similar to that of W.H. Redman, which happened several weeks ago. It was Mr. Isaac Templin, who with his family was living with Mr. and Mrs. Abe Carrier, on South Race Street, just a block away from where Mr. Redman resided.

Last Saturday, the twenty-third of February, Mr. Templin, who had been feeling very well for the past few weeks, complained a little before supper of a pain in his chest. But after supper, he felt well again; and went down town for the mail and to do a little marketing. On the way down, the pain came on again and when he reached Stevens' grocery, he had to sit down a while before returning home. He walked home alone and when he reached there, he threw himself on a couch and told what was the matter. His wife and mother began at once with hot applications and in a few moments he was easy and comfortable. His wife then sat down in the next room, as he said he did not wish to talk, as it tired him; but, hearing a strange sound from him, she went quickly to him. After reaching him, he gave a few short gasps, and was gone. It is supposed that the neuralgic pain had gone to his heart and killed him.

Isaac Clinton Templin was born in Greenfield, Indiana, January 2, 1842. When a small boy, he with his parents moved to Keokuk, Iowa, where they lived for a number of years. When about sixteen years old, he went to Iowa Wesleyan University, at Mt. Pleasant, where he was graduated when not yet twenty years of age. Before he graduated his parents moved to Mt. Pleasant. After his father died, Mr. Templin went with others of the family to Montana, where he stayed several years. On his return to Mt. Pleasant in 1867, he met Miss Emma Carrier, who was then a student a Wesleyan University. After four years, on Nov 22, 1871, they were married in Newton, at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Abe Carrier, at the farm, south of Newton.

After their marriage they went to live in Mt. Pleasant, where Mr. Templin was engaged in the mercantile business. There they spent about eighteen happy years. During that time their six children were born, Anna, Hugh, Abram, Sadie, Ella, Frank and Mary. Hugh died when fourteen months old.

In 1889, Mr. Templin went to Fairhaven, Washington, and in the following year his family followed him. That was their home until they returned to Newton. Their daughter Anna died on the sixth day of September, 1899, and her death was a great shock to Mr. Templin, as well as to the rest of the family. In November of that year, Mr. and Mrs. Templin and Mary came to Newton for a visit. Frank having come before. After reaching here, they were persuaded to here for a year. (how it reads) So Mr. Templin went back to Washington, settled up his business affairs, and in April of 1900, came back with Ella, Sadie remaining in the West. For the last six months, they have been making their home with Mrs. Templin's parents. They had planned to return to Washington in a few weeks, but Death has stepped in, so the others will not probably return at all.

On the sixth of last September, Mr. Templin had his left eye severely hurt, and the shock seemed to shatter his whole system. He continued in poor health for a long time and really feared he would lose his mind. But at last a new treatment was tried, which seemed to make almost a new man of him, and for the past two weeks, he felt and acted like himself again. With health came hope and energy, and the prospect looked bright and inviting. Mr. Templin was a kind, good man, a devoted husband and father, a genial friend, an upright, honorable citizen. He had a well stored, gifted mind, and to his good education was added the results of long continued and intelligent reading. He had taken his place with Christ's followers, and he and his wife brought their church letters with them from the West and joined the M.E. Church.

The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon, at two o'clock, at the M.E. church. The service was conducted by Rev. Willitts, assisted by Rev. Chambers, of the Presbyterian church. The singing was rendered by a male quartette. The body was interred in the Newton cemetery.

Thus has passed to his reward a good man, thus another home is left desolate, but not without hope, for beyond the vail lies that fair and beautiful land to which they may all go, some day, and where he who has led the way will be to welcome them.

Our community was again shocked by the sudden death of one of our citizens last Sunday morning when it became known that Saturday evening Isaac C. Templin had suddenly passed away. He had been at work on the farm during the day and after supper came up town for the mail. He returned home feeling as well as usual but in a short time was taken sick and expired before relief could be had.

Mr. Templin was born in Greenfield, Ind., Jan. 2, 1842. When young he went to Keokuk with his parents, later to Mt. Pleasant where he afterward graduated from the Wesleyan University. He was in business for many years in Mt. Pleasant. He was married to Miss Emma Carrier, daughter of A. Carrier of this city, Nov. 22, 1871. To this union there were born six children, four of whom are living: Sadie, Ella, Frank and Mary. Some ten years ago they moved to Fairhaven, Wash., coming back here on a visit about a year ago. They expected to soon go home again. Mr. Templin received an injury to one of his eyes some few months ago and it had given him great trouble since and probably that contributed to the cause of his death.

Mr. Templin was a good man. He had long been a member of the M. E. Church and the funeral was held from that church Tuesday afternoon at 2 o’clock, the services being conducted by Rev. J. C. Willits, after which the Masonic Order had charge of the further exercises.
