MOURN THEIR FATHER
----
Ralph Lewis and His Sister Called to Osage Friday on Account of Death of Parent.
----
Mr. Ralph Lewis and his sister Miss Beryl, left Friday night for their old home at Osage in response to a message announcing the death of their father, one of the oldest residents of the city. He is survived by three children, one son, Henry of Osage, and the son and daughter residing here. The wife and mother passed away on June 6, 1930.

The deceased was past the middle eighties, and for 76 years his home had been in Mitchell Co. At the Home-coming for Osage held during the first week of July, Mr. Lewis was the second oldest resident in point of time in Mitchell County. He had long been popular, and during the years of his prime he was identified with every movement that was designed to better the most forward community center in Northern Iowa.

The funeral services were held Sunday.
