GROVER MEASE Died Monday

Grover Cyrus Mease, well known Madison county farmer, died at the Madison county Memorial hospital, Monday afternoon, November 30th, 1953, after a two weeks' illness with heart trouble. Mr. Mease, who was 65 years of age, was born in this county, and spent his entire life here. He was in apparent good health until stricken two weeks ago.

A son of J. Cyrus and Laura Howe Mease, he was born on the Mease farm in the Ebeneezer neighborhood, Ohio Township, March 15, 1888. Here he grew to manhood, and was married to Miss Ethel Emerson, October 24, 1907. They resided in Ohio township for a short time but most of their married life has been spent on the present farm seven miles south of Winterset in Walnut township. He has always been a member of the Peru Methodist church, and took an active interest in politics.

Mr. Mease is survived by his wife and their four children: Mrs. Harold Colvin of Des Moines, and Mrs. John Welch, Willard and Jack Mease, all of this community. He also leaves two sisters and a brother, Mrs. Raymond Spera of Winterset, Mrs. Arthur Purvis of Truro, and W. V. Mease of Broken Bow, Nebraska. Nine grandchildren all of whom reside in this county, also survive him, except Jay Rodney Colvin of Des Moines, who is now in the U. S. army, and stationed at Ft. Knox, Ken.

Funeral services for Mr. Mease will be held at the Methodist Church in Winterset, Thursday, December 3, at 2:00 p.m., by the Rev. Clarence Moore and Rev. Glenn Parrott and burial will be in the Peru cemetery.
