William Frambes
1 September 1847 ---– 10 June 1914

William Frambes was born Sept. 1, 1847, at Dayton, Ohio, and died near Holmes, Iowa, June 10, 1914, aged 66 years, 9 months and 9 days. When a small boy he removed with his parents to Havana, Ill., where he grew to manhood and on Jan. 29, 1869, he was united in marriage with Miss Susan Vaughn. Eight children were born to them, five of whom with the wife survive. The surviving children are Mrs. Aaron McGrath and James Frambes at this place, Mrs. Owen Barber of Moweaqua, Ill.; Chas. Frambes of Knoxville, Ill,, and John Frambes of St. Paul, Kansas. Deceased is also survived by twenty-six grandchildren.

In 1901 he and his wife removed to Clarion, locating on a farm seven miles northwest of town,
where they lived until a year ago, when they removed to a farm near Holmes, where Mr. Frambes death occurred. Mr. Frambes had been in failing health since last August, but was not considered seriously ill until last Sunday, when he was suddenly stricken with paralysis, from which he never rallied. He was of the Methodist faith, having united with the Sanner Chapel M. E. church near Macon Ill. in 1884.

He was a man of integrity and uprightness of life, loved by all who knew him. His death removes a man of usefulness from our midst.

The funeral was held Saturday at 10 o'clock in the Baptist church in Holmes and interment was in the Eagle Grove [Rose Hill] cemetery. Rev. VanMetre of the Methodist church at Clarion officiated.
