In Remembrance of Albert Hain
Albert Hain, son of Leonard and Harriet Hain, was born near LaFayette, Indiana, December 18, 1838, and died at his home near Milo, Iowa, May 13, 1908, age 69 years, 4 months, and 26 days.
He was married to Loesa Jester, February 24, 1860. To this union four children were born, three of them with the wife having preceded him to the great beyond. The one daughter, Mrs. Emma Bates lives at Weeping Water, Nebraska.
He was then married to Columbia Howard, of LaFayette, Indiana, and to this union nine children were born, Etta Grace dying in infancy. Those living are Mrs. G. W. Welch, of Caloma Iowa, Mrs. J. H. Mark, of Mason City, Nebraska, Mrs. J. C. Van Zee, of Phillips, Nebraska, Mrs. C. A. Hollingsworth, of Milo, Iowa, Edd Hain, of Phillips, Nebraska, Alford, Robert, and Joseph at home, who, with his wife, two brothers, three sisters, 19 grandchildren and numerous other relatives and friends are left to mourn his sad and untimely death.
The present. life is lived under the shadows of constant change. This has much to do with the failures on every hand to carry out good resolutions, generous impulses, noble aspirations and to perfect Christian manifest. Many sink under the uneven pressure of age and affliction and long for the silent rest of the tomb. This bereft family have the sympathy of the entire community, in their sad bereavement. Funeral services were held at the M. E. church, in Milo, May 16th, conducted by the writer, assisted by Rev. Tennant and Rev. Coventry, after which the body was laid to rest in I.O.O.F. cemetery north of town.
