Everett See Dies At Storm Lake

Death Monday followed a few days illness for Everett See, 87-year-old Bayard resident. He was taken to a Storm Lake hospital Saturday and he was there at the time of his death.

Mr. See was one of Bayard’s most kindly old gentlemen and his friendly greeting will be missed by his host of friends and neighbors. He came here in 1939 to be near his grandson, G. L. “Bud” Reinhardt, who was coach in the Bayard school. However, when Mr. Reinhardt moved on to become superintendent of schools in other towns, Mr. See preferred to remain with his friends in Bayard.

A short service was held from the Starling Funeral Home Wednesday morning and final rites were held later in the day at Laurens from the Methodist church. The Rev. J. D. Payne officiated at both services.

Casketbearers for the Bayard rites included Bert Mercer, Guy Ford, George Bonnesen, Earl Carrick, Ray Smith and Forest Boots.

Charles Everett See, son of John and Elizabeth See, was born in Madison county, Iowa Jan. 25, 1862 and passed away June 6, 1949, at the age of 87 years, four months and 12 days.

At the age of 20 years he was married to Elizabeth Fuhs, who preceded him in death in 1941. To this union two children were born: Elsie Eldora, now deceased, and Charles Everett Lessel See of Laurens.

Surviving him are the son, Charles, four grandchildren: G. L. Reinhardt of Schaller; James B. See of Storm Lake; Mrs. D. V. Whitney of St. Louis, Mo.; Mrs. Paul L. Carroll of Laurens, and six great grandchildren.

Mr. See spent his entire life in the state of Iowa, coming to the Laurens community in 1916 where he farmed until 1939 when he retired and moved to Bayard where he lived until his death.

Here he soon made a large number of friends. He was reluctant to leave for long at a time. To him home ties were the strongest ties he knew.

Like the swift flowing of a river is the life of man. Silently and swiftly it flows on until lost in the great expanse of God’s Love.
