J. S. LORD SUCCUMBS AFTER SHORT ILLNESS
Rugged Pioneer was Ill only one day
Funeral Saturday and Burial at BelmondJohn S. Lord was born in Coldwater, Mich., August 10, 1848, and departed this life at his late home in Clarion, April 14, 1927, aged 78 years, 8 months and 4 days. He came with his parents in 1860 to Iowa, locating in Lincoln township, Wright county. After the death of his parents he became the owner of this homestead. On January 1, 1873, he was united in marriage with Helen Veeder and to this union were born six children, three sons and three daughters. The mother and two daughters have preceded him in death.
On November 23, 1899, Mr. Lord was united in marriage to Mrs. M. A. Pickering. More than thirty years ago Mr. Lord accepted Christ as his Saviour, and later was baptised, and was united with the Church of God, of which he remained a faithful member until death. His joy was to help carry forward the work of his Master’s Kingdom. As an early pioneer citizen he did his part well in helping to develop the country.
Seven years ago last September, Mr. and Mrs. Lord came to Clarion, where they have since resided. Those who survive him and feel his loss most keenly are his companion, and his children, David J., Homer C., Hiram W., and Rachel, now Mrs. W. O. Mathews of Des Moines. The above mentioned sons all live in Wright county, with many friends and acquaintances who will long remember the well rounded life he lived among them.
A brief service was held in the late home, and the service proper in the First M. E. Church at Clarion, Saturday afternoon, conducted by Rev. E. E. Heltibridle of Grundy Center, assisted by L. H. Smith of Newburg and Rev. O’Connor of Clarion. Interment was made in the family lot at Belmond, there to await the first resurrection morn.
