He was born in Iowa Center, and had grown up in the vicinity, and therefore was known to almost every one in that part of the country. The funeral took place on Monday in the C. P. Church, and was largely attended. Rev. R. A. Ferguson conducted the service, assisted by Elder Bodenham, of the Baptist church, and Rev. Nichol of the M. E. Church.
