Death of JOHN NUNAN

John Nunan passed away at his home on West Green street on Friday afternoon of last week. He had been ailing for several months and his decline in health dates from the time he was seriously injured in a runaway accident about three years ago.

Mr. Nunan moved here from Adair county about ten years ago, when he purchased the old Whiting farm in Douglas township. A few years since, he moved to Winterset and leased the farm to his sons.

For many years he taught school near Oskaloosa and later continued to teach school and farm in Adair county.

Mrs. Nunan preceded him in death many years ago and the surviving members of the family are three sons and two daughters. Funeral services were held at St. Joseph's Catholic church on Sunday, and on Monday the body was taken to Oskaloosa for burial.
