FORMER LIBERTY MAN HERE

Albert Muxlow, of this city, returned from Des Moines Saturday where he was
called by the last illness and death of L. G. Muxlow, a well known former
LeMars resident. He was the last remaining member of Mr. Muxlow’s immediate
family. He died October 16. He had been in poor health for the past year
following the death of his wife, which occurred in October, 1931.

L. G. Muxlow was born near Darlington, Wis., November 26, 1869, where he
grew to young manhood and came with his parents to LeMars in 1887. He worked
in Minnesota for a year shortly after that and returning here farmed near
Seney.

For a number of years he was employed in the livery business and was foreman
in stables conducted by Hoyt & Goudie, and later by R. M. Bailey.

He was united in marriage in 1892 with Miss Laura A. Thompson, of
Darlington, Wis., and brought his bride to LeMars and lived here until 1896
when they moved to Des Moines where he conducted a market garden. Later he
entered the city transportation service in Des Moines and was a motorman for
thirty-one years.

The funeral was held from the White Funeral chapel in Des Moines Tuesday.
Rev. A. Cadwell officiating and interment made in Glendale cemetery. Six of
his nephews acted as pallbearers.
