J.P. Swart was born Dec. 28, 1851 and died Dec. 4, 1925. Had he lived till Dec. 28 he would have been seventy-four years old.

He was united in marriage with Miss Elizabeth Zollars near Waynesburg, Pa., Sept. 16, 1875.

To this union were born four children. One son, Marion N. Swart preceded him in death twenty years ago. He is survived by his wife, and three children, eleven grand children, three great grand children, five sisters and two brothers, as follows: wife, Mrs. J.P. Swart of Grinnell; son, A.T.

Mr. Swart farmed for many years north of Grinnell moving to Grinnell March 1, 1897. Until the last seven years he had served the public as grocery delivery-man, driving an oil wagon and later a bread wagon. His kind and genial nature made him friends with all. To know him was to love him. His friends are numberless. He has been a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church for many years.
