Bert Goodmanson Died Tuesday

B T. Goodmanson passed away at his home in Ireton at 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon following an illness of two years. He was taken to Iowa City where an operation was performed which seemed to relieve him from the ravages of the dread disease, cancer, only to come back and make new ravages on his strength and vitality. He suffered much but in it all showed great patience and fortitude until death relieved him.

Funeral services will be held at the Presbyterian church Friday afternoon with Rev. Seibert and Rev. Albert in charge.
