Arthur Waid Passes Away
Death Comes at Home of His Sister, Mrs. Chas. Aldred, Friday; Burial at Goldfield

Arthur D. Waid passed away Friday evening, April 22nd, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Aldred where he had been seriously ill for many weeks. Much of this time he suffered greatly and little hope was held for his recovery. Mr. Waid had been in poor health for a number of years and although he tried all that medical aid could do his condition did not improve. He was 56 years old at the time of his death. Funeral services were held at the Aldred home Monday morning at 9:30 o'clock. The service was in charge of Rev. Corwin Taylor, pastor of the Methodist church. A men's quartet, composed of Herman Behmer, Frank Bruner, Robt. Lee and Lloyd Gilbert, furnished the music, accompanied by Mrs. Frank Bruner at the piano. Interment was made at Goldfield, Iowa, where his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. O. Waid, are buried. Pallbearers were T. R. Cobb, Jas. A. Sweeney and B. D. Parks.

*************************

Arthur Dickson Waid, son of Andrew O. and Mary L. Waid, was born at Youngstown, Ohio, on May 15, 1875. When four years of age he came with his parents to Hardin county, Iowa, and lived near Steamboat Rock. A few years later they moved to Cedar Rapids where he attended school and worked as a young man. After residing for seventeen years at Goldfield, he came to Sutherland in 1909 and purchased the Sutherland-Calumet hackline, which he drove for two years. From that time until ill health prevented his doing active work he farmed the land at the south side of Sutherland. While his time was devoted to the farm he was keenly interested in affairs of the town and served two terms on the town council, where he gave his best effort as he did in any undertaking. He was a kind and devoted son to his aged mother with whom he made his home, and after her death, seven years ago, he has spent much of his time in travel, making his home while here at Calumet. He has driven over many states, and found most of his pleasure in the places of natural beauty and historical interest. He had spent the past three summers at Lake George, N. Y., and it was while there last August that he was stricken with his last illness.

Since Christmas he has been failing constantly, and February 1st he went through the Mayo clinic at Rochester. Here he was given no hope, but has made a brave fight for recovery for nearly three months. For the past four weeks he has been at the home of his sister, Mrs. Chas. Aldred, and under constant care of his two sisters and their families. He has suffered greatly and death came to relieve him at eight o'clock on Friday evening, April 22.

The deceased is survived by his sisters, Mrs. H. J. Warm of Calumet and Mrs. Chas. Aldred of Sutherland, two older sisters and his father and mother having preceded him in death. Out of town people present at the funeral were Mrs. J. C. Young and two daughters, and V. E. Reichling and son of Cedar Rapids; Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hofius of Algona; Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Elston of Burt; and Dr. N. J. Belton of Redfield.
