Mr. and Mrs. David Fife of Dale township returned Tuesday from Emmetsburg, Iowa, where they were called by telegram on Tuesday of last week by the sickness of James Fife, an older brother of Mr. Fife. Death followed before they reached the bedside, and on Friday the funeral was held. Deceased was a prominent farmer near Emmetsburg, and his death came as a sudden blow to relatives. A sister, Mrs. Bicket of Tama county, was the only other near relative from a distance that was able to be present at the last sad rites.
