DEATH OF WILL BAUERLY
Deceased Was a Resident of LeMars Nearly All His Life

William Bauerly, a long time resident of LeMars, died at the state hospital in Cherokee, following an illness of several months. Mr. Bauerly had been in poor health for the past year and a half, suffering from leakage of the heart and cerebral trouble. His death occurred on Thursday night.

Will Bauerly was born in Davenport, Iowa, on November 29, 1869, and was forty-six years and three days old at the time of his death. His parents came to Plymouth County when he was a child. They homesteaded in Liberty township and later came to LeMars where Will attended school and grew to manhood. He learned the barber trade and followed the avocation in this city, in Omaha, and in a number of other towns. He was united in marriage at Blair, Neb., on April 12, 1908, with Miss Edith Goodwin, who survives him. She devotedly nursed and tended him during the illness which befell him prior to going to the hospital and while there visited him at every opportunity.

He is survived by his aged mother, Mrs. Chris Bauerly, living on Howard street, who favorite son he was, and by two brothers, Chris Bauerly of this city, and Jacob Bauerly, of Merrill.

The remains were brought here for burial and the funeral services were held yesterday at the Engelken undertaking parlors, Rev. H. J. Dommann, of St. John’s Evangelical church officiated. The deceased became a member of this church in 1888 when Rev. H. Milner was pastor. Mrs. H. M. Goodwin, of Cedar Rapids, came to attend the funeral and be with her daughter, Mrs. Will Bauerly, in her bereavement. The pallbearers were J. A. North, N. Wilmes, N. Rollinger, J. Donahoe, Bert Groves, and A. Sordgrager.
