OBITUARY

Floyd Craig was born in Des Moines township, Van Buren county, Iowa, May the 9th, 1890 and died at the home of Mrs. Ada Else, where he and his step-mother had gone on a short visit, Sunday October 16th, 1910. At date of death he was 20 years, 5 months and 7 days old.

In disposition Floyd was kind and lovable. He had been in perfect health up to about two years ago when severe bowel trouble set in and although the best surgical skill of the date was employed the trouble proved fatal and death ended his suffering.

He leaves, mourning his loss, his father Mr. David Craig, step-mother, two sisters and a brother besides numerous other relatives and a host of friends.

The funeral services were conducted by Rev. C. A. Field at the home of Mrs. Else, Tuesday October 18, 1910, interment in the Prall cemetery.
