Earlham

The death angel which has been hovering over our town for some weeks entered on Tuesday morning the home of H. L. Kail and claimed their son Loy, who has been a patient sufferer for many weeks. He will be sadly missed, not only in his home but by his young associates. The bereaved family have the entire sympathy of the community in their sad and lonely hours.

Henry Loyola Kail was born in Penn township, Madison county, Iowa, April 10, 1876. Died at the home of his parents, May 22, 1900, thus being 24 years, 1 month and 12 days old. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Wallace McMillan of Highland Park, Des Moines, assisted by Rev. McGrew and Rev. Stribling of the Friends church, Rev. Mitchell of the M.E. church, and Rev. Best of the Presbyterian church of Earlham.

The remains were taken charge of by the two fraternal orders, of which the deceased was a member, the I.O.O.F. and the M.W.A., who performed their part most nobly. So on Thursday, May 24th, he was laid away in the Earlham cemetery in a grave arched with brick and decorated with a profusion of flowers, which showed that kind and sympathizing friends were near.

He united with the Presbyterian church five years ago and was loyal and true to his profession to the end. His sufferings for eleven weeks were intense, yet were borne with such patience that it was the wonder of all who saw him. Typhoid fever with a complication of diseases following was the cause of his death.

Loy was of a bright and cheerful disposition and made friends wherever he was known. This was fully demonstrated by the great concourse of people who came from the surrounding towns and country to the number of over 1000.

Two brothers preceded him to the Better Land. Father, mother, four sisters and two brothers remain with sad hearts, yet to not mourn as those that have no hope, for Loy gave unmistakable evidence of his acceptance with God; and thus passed away in the triumphs of a living faith.

All that medical skill and kind and loving friends could do was done, but the valor of Him who ‘doeth all things well’ had to be obeyed, so the young life with its plans, hopes and aspirations faded and is no more.
