GEORGE W. VIBBER DIED LAST SUNDAY

Caused by Physical and Mental Breakdown.

George W. Vibber, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. R.C. Vibber, now deceased, was born in Grandview township June 23rd, 1865, died June 30th, 1913, aged 48 years and 8 days.

He spent his boyhood days on the home farm east of town attending the Grandview school and later in manhood continuing his educational course in the Wilton and Washington schools.

For some time he taught in the country schools and was later engaged in the mercantile business with his father.

On Feb. 26, 1896, he was united in marriage to Miss Eva J. Woodruff, making their residence in the bride's old home having purchased the farm at that time, and residing there until his death.

To this union were born two children, Helen and Marion, whom with the loving and faithful wife, one brother, Harry R., of Kennewick, Washington, and three sisters, Mrs. Geo. W. Buster of St. Anthony, Idaho, Mrs. S. J. D. Latta and Mrs. C.A. Arihood of Grandview, Iowa, are left to resign their wills in tender submission to his home-going and their Heavenly Father's will.

For over twenty years his faith was entirely anchored in Christ his Savior, trusting Him alone as such and during his life often admonished those about him to turn to and trust in his Savior and Lord.

He was a loving and indulgent husband and father and a good neighbor, generous and peaceable, speaking evil of no one.

Thus he will be missed by those who knew and loved him best.

"There no cloud shall dim his vision
There no fears disturb his peace,
Waiting, watching for our coming,
Happy, blissful, sweet release."

The funeral services will be held tomorrow (Friday) morning at 10 a.m.
