Hinton Progress
Sept. 19, 1929

The death of Adelbert Martin Nash, which occurred Tuesday morning, removes
another longtime and widely known citizen. Mr. Nash, originally a carpenter
by trade, long resided on a farm which he owned and operated in the Perry
Creek valley west of Hinton. Coming to Hinton, from the farm about 20 years
ago, he engaged in the real estate business until a few years ago failing
health caused his retirement.

Mr. Nash's personal acquaintances, especially among the older settlers, was
extensive. He was a man whose word was known by them and by all to be good,
a man of kindly impulses and warm heart. He, and his wife, who died May 1,
1912, will be remembered for their neighborliness, friendliness and
helpfulness.

Adelbert Martin Nash was born in Eaton county, Michigan, July 28, 1852, and
passed away September 17, 1929, at the age of 77 years.

He was united in marriage to Adeline Harrison November 21, 1874. They came
to Plymouth County, Iowa, in 1875, where they resided until their death.

Two children were born to this union, one dying in early life.

The deceased was a member of the Floyd Valley I.O.O.F. Lodge and that order
had charge of the burial service.

Survivors of the immediate family are: one daughter, Mrs. Frank Soule; one
brother, Luther Nash; three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

The funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon, from the Hinton
Methodist church, Rev. J. L. Shroyer officiating and the remains were laid
to rest in the Lincoln Cemetery in Lincoln township.

The bereaved family have the heartfelt sympathy of their many friends.
