5 January 1899 Charles Spaulding Drops Dead at Waterloo and is Brought to Nashua For Burial. Those familiar with the malady with which Charles Spaulding had bee afflicted the past 14 years, were not surprised when his sudden death at Waterloo Wednesday morning was announced. For years Mr. Spaulding had been subject to the distressing attacks, called by the physicians, epileptic convulsions. These spells would come upon him at the most unexpected moments and completely prostrate him. The night before his death he was in unusually good spirits, ate a hearty supper, and visited with his daughter and her husband until a late hour, when he went to his room. About 2 o’clock in the morning Mr. and Mrs. Wuesthoff were a wakened by the family who lived in a part of their home, who said they had been awakened by a garring sound which seemed to come from Mr. Spaulding’s room. They all hastened at once to his room and found him in the most terrible convulsions he had ever experienced. He was entirely unconscious and remained so up to the time of his death, which occurred at 10 a.m. the same day. Prior to his death he had been in excellent health for sometime. Mr. Spaulding was born at Oak Grove, Dodd county, Wis., in 1847. In 1872 he was married to Miss Theresa Adams and two years later they came to Iowa and settled in New Hampton. Fourteen years ago they came to Nashua and remained here until about four years ago, when they went to Charles City. During their residence here, Mr. Spaulding was for several years proprietor of a hotel and was considered a very capable landlord. He was unually successful in his business ventures and had the happy faculty of making one dollar earn him tow. In all association with his neighbors and business associates he was kind and obliging, and the unfortunate afflication which finally terminated his life was always regretted by all who knew him, as well as by his family who knew how greatly he suffered from the attacks. Funeral services were held at Waterloo at 10 a.m. Wednesday, and the remains were brought to Nashua for burial. The casket was opened at the chapel that the friends here might view the remains after which the internment took place at Greenwood. Rev. Barrett delivering a short prayer at the grave.

23 February 1899 Died, at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. Stickman, Saturday, February 18, Frank Stickman, aged 21 years, 10 months and 16 days, from a complication of diseases, which terminated to appendicitis. Funeral services were held Monday at 11 o’clock a.m. from the Lutheran church in Nashua, Rev. Sutton, of this city, and Rev. Gitzloff, of Ionia, officiating. Possibly no one in years who was closed a youthful career in this locality has suffered so much and made such an heroic battle for life as this young man who had been forced to succumb at last to the ravages of disease. Several months ago disease began to weaken the constitution of the poor boy and he went down to Tennessee to try a change of climate but it was of no avail. Death had marked him for a victim but prolonged the torture for weeks and months, and the brave boy bore it all with patient fortitude, realizing for months that the length of his life was only a question of a short time, and he must be resigned to the inevitable will. All that medical skill could accomplish was resorted to in an effort to prolong the life of the sufferer and restore him to health, but it all proved useless and Saturday morning the boy, whose young life had been tortured with so much physical pain, closed his eyes upon all he had hoped to accomplish and turned his face towards another world. He was a kind son and a generous friend and those who knew him feel genuine sorrow in the untimely termination of his young life. Contributed by Misti Adams |
