ILLUMINATING GAS TAKES LIFE
E.A. Fields of Sioux City, Well Known in Akron.

Edward A. Fields was born at Rochelle, Illinois, September 21, 1869, and came to Akron from that city when twenty-three years of age, engaging in the grain and milling business here with the late Wm. Slaughter, for a number of years. Twenty-eight years ago, in March, 1906, Mr. Fields moved from there to Sioux City and has since engaged in the grain business there. A man of splendid character and ability, Mr. Fields was a civic leader in Akron, as he has also been in Sioux City. He served one term as state representative from Plymouth county, was local Republican committee man and served on the town council here, and was always an active booster for the community’s interests. A host of friends in Sioux City and Akron are grieved at his untimely death and extend sincere sympathy to his bereaved relatives. He is survived by his wife, one daughter, two brothers and two grandchildren.

Funeral services will be held tomorrow (Friday) afternoon at 3:00 o’clock in the First Unitarian Church in Sioux City. Interment will be at Rochelle, Illinois.
