Nichols, Ia., Oct. 22 – Funeral services for Louis Chown, 64, who died suddenly Wednesday morning while driving to his farm near here, were held from the Methodist church at 2 o’clock this afternoon. Burial was made in the Nichols cemetery.
Accompanied by his wife, he was driving and leading a team to the farm to husk corn. The team in the rear got away but was captured after a long Chase. His wife noticed he was perspiring when he returned with the team but thought nothing of it. A moment later she turned in time to catch her husband as he toppled to the ground. Heart trouble caused his death.
Besides his wife, he is survived by two sons, Louis and Robert, one brother, George Chown of near Columbus Junction and one sister, Mrs. Mary Foster of Lake township.
