Note: William V. Annis died July 11, 1947. I have verified the dates both his obituary and funeral service notice were published in the "Ottumwa Courier," and I have verified his date of death with Shaul Cemetery. If anyone comes across this obituary on the cds of Ottumwa obituaries, it is labeled incorrectly as being published July 4.
