THE PASSING OF ISAAC N. LANDIS.

Isaac Newton Landis was born in Putnam County, Indiana, July 1st 1844, and came with his parents to Madison County, Iowa, in 1853. They bought what is now known as the Annon James farm northeast of East Peru, and there he lived until his country’s call for volunteers to defend the stars and stripes impelled him to enlist in Company A. 39th Iowa Volunteers. After serving his country for three years he returned to Madison County, where on the 9th day of July 1865 he was united in marriage to Miss Mary A. Kale, daughter of John and Eliza Kale, of Madison County.

Mr. and Mrs. Landis lived on their farm east of Peru until about four years ago when they moved to their present home at 1526-33d St. Des Moines. Mr. Landis in his younger days was converted in the Christian Union church and was a faithful member until that church became disorganized, holding to that faith he never joined another church.

He was an honest and upright neighbor, and was loved and respected by his family. He was a patriotic soldier and loved and honored his country and his flag, and his expressed desire always was, that when the time came for him to go into the great beyond, no flowers should grace his funeral bier, but that he should be wrapped in his beloved flag.

He passed peacefully away at 3:30 P. M., Nov. 10th, 1916, aged 72 years, 4 months and 10 days. He is survived by his wife, Mary A. Landis, and five children viz: Mr. W. B. Landis and Mrs. Homer See of Peru, Iowa, and Mrs. F. H. Moorman, Mr. J. L. Landis, and T. C. Landis of Des Moines.

The body was brought to Peru Sunday on No. 5 where it was met at the depot by a large concourse of friends, who followed it to its last resting place in the East Peru cemetery. Rev. Manker conducted a short funeral service at the grave.
