Cornelius Van Hosen Died last Sunday Morning

Cornelius N. Van Hosen, son of E. N. Van Hosen, Little Nealy was born May 13, 1876 near Winterset. During his whole life he had been of feeble constitution and a complication of la grippe and consumption was the cause of death. With admirable fortitude, we are told, for one so young, he suffered untold agonies for two weeks previous to death. His mother died three years ago and he was laid by her side in the St. Charles cemetery. His father and four brothers survive him.

He seemingly was the favorite of the family, and especially will he be missed by his playmates and schoolmates. None will question but that in this instance death touched "a shining mark," the promising jewel of a home, one of quiet boyish ways and yet so manly, one loved by all.

The funeral held at the M. E. church Monday at 2 p.m. conducted by Revs. Williams and Baldridge, was unusually impressive. The singing, selected and conducted by Miss Mamie Smith and Miss Lizzie Stouffer, the former at the organ was exceedingly touching and appropriate. (The rest has no further genealogical information)

Transcriber's note: Cornelius's mother died in 1887. This obit states that he died three years after his mother so his death date is about 1890.
