Lewis Barth, of Hull, a veteran of the Civil War, died at his home April 23d
and was buried Saturday. Funeral services were conducted at the Catholic
church by the pastor, Father Wren, of Alvord, assisted by Father O’Rielly of
Rock Valley. A number from Rock Valley attended the funeral. Mr. Barth was
one of Sioux County’s pioneers having located on a farm in Lincoln township
near Perkins in the early seventies, and endured the privations incident to
pioneer days. He was a good citizen, and a good neighbor. He leaves a widow
and children to mourn his demise. We extend sympathy to the sorrowing
relatives.
