DEATH OF HENRY MARCH
Cedar Falls Gazette: Our esteemed citizen, Henry March, died at the
residence of his daughter, Mrs. H. Jacob Pfeiffer, on Saturday, January
5, 1895, at 8 p.m.

Mr. March was born in Yorkshire, England, on July 28, 1834, and with his
parents came to America in his tenth year and settled in LaFayette
county, Wisconsin, where he was engaged in farming and stock raising
until 1873 when he removed to LeMars, Iowa, and since that time has been
engaged in the real estate business in Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas, and
at the time of his death he owned valuable real estate in Nebraska and
Kansas.

Deceased was married 34 years ago, and leaves a wife and five children,
John H. of Topeka, Kas., Mrs. Sarah White of Sioux City, Mrs. Mary
Pfeiffer of this city, Oscar W. of South Sioux, Neb., and Henry T. of
Topeka, Kas. They were present with their companions at the funeral.

He united with the Methodist church over 25 years ago, and has always
been an earnest and faithful Christian.

The funeral services were conducted on Tuesday afternoon, by Rev.
Hurlburt from the M.E. church of this place. He was a man of pure
Christian character and the kind words spoken of him is evidence of the
warm esteem of those who knew him best.

He was converted and joined the Methodist Episcopal church 26 years ago,
and continued to be to the day of his death a consistent, faithful and
devoted member of the same. As a member of the church, he served in the
various official relations of class leader, steward and trustee, and in
each one of these offices he was most faithful in the performance of
every duty.
