Death of J. H. DETRICK

John H. Detrick died at his home on East Washington street on Feb. 24th, after a brief illness. On Sunday he was taken sick, apoplexy coming on gradually, resulting in death within a few days.

Funeral services were held in the Methodist church, Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. George D. Rogers, assisted by Rev. Jackson Giddens. Mrs. Detrick and one son, Wayne, survive him; another son, Earl, dying in the west in 1919.

Mr. Detrick was born in East Stroudsburg, Pa., in 1862, and was married in 1895 to Miss Mollie E. Davis at Clare, Iowa. Fifteen years ago the Detricks came to Winterset, which has since been their home. Mr. Detrick was a quiet reserved man, endowed with remarkable energy and industry. Painstaking and efficient in all of his work, he made himself a most useful citizen in this community and his death is deeply regretted.

To his wife and son the sympathy of the community is extended.
