Postville Review
Postville, Allamakee co. Iowa
February 10, 1899

Died.
THOMPSON -- At his home in Waukon, Iowa, February 2, 1899, William C. Thompson, aged 82 years, 2 months and 28 days. Mr. Thompson was born in Buffalo, N.Y., November 4th, 1816. Here he remained till about 19 years of age when he came west to Quincy, Ill., and afterwards located at Monroe, Green county, Wis., where he married Mrs. Sophrona (Reynolds) Thompson in May, 1849. In that year he came to this county and selected a home to which he shortly moved his family, and for nearly fifty years Allamakee county was his home. To Mr. and Mrs. Thompson four children were born, Samuel R. of Waukon, Andrew M., of Mason City, Ida J., a member of the corps of teachers of the Waukon school and Mrs. Francis C. Barnard of Springview, Neb., who, withthe devoted and invalid wife are left to mourn his loss.

The funeral was held at the Presbyterian church Sunday at 2 o'clock p.m. services conducted by Rev. R.L. Vannice, and the remains were laid to rest in Oakland cemetery. His parents were presbyterians and he was baptized in that church in infancy, and made a profession of faith in Christ in early manhood, but did not connect himself with any church in the west.

Two of the children, Andrew M. and Mrs. Barnard, were not able to be present, but Andrew came on the first train possible after receiving the news of his father's death, arriving Monday morning.

The pall bearers were neighbors and friends, "pioneers" like himself, or who have most of their lives lived in this county, Messrs. M.W. Eaton, J.H. McGhee, Dr. A.T. Stillman, John J. Gilchrist, T.C. Hall and H.J. Bentley.

Mr. Thompson has been a prominent and influential resident and an important factor in its development and prosperity.

Died.
Michael Garvey, formerly well known here, died at his home at Carrington, N.D., last week. He was a relative of the Sheehys. Jas. Horgan and his mother went up to attend the funeral. The friends have our sympathy. The Carrington Record has the following to say of Mr. Garvey's sickness and death:
Last week, shortly after M. Garvey was reported as improving, he took a change for the worse, and on Saturday it was thought best to amputate his injured limb close to the hip, as the bones entering the formation of the knee joint had become deseased. Drs. Crawford and MacLachian, of New Rockford, and HOward, of this place, had been summoned and the operation was performed that night. For a day or two it was thought that Mr. Garvey's condition was improving and that there was some hope of his recovery -- then came the sad tidings that he was gradually sinking and suffering intensely, and on Thursday evening shortly before 7 o'clock he passed away.

The deceased leaves a wife, Monica and baby daughter, Mary, and five sisters, Mrs. Price Morris and Mrs. Jos. Sheehy, who reside here, and three other sisters who live in the east. To them no words of sympathy can be said except that their God was his God and that He doesth all things well.

Of Michael Garvey himself we can say that as a personal friend or as a public citizen we never knew him to be otherwise than true and kind, and imbued with that vein of good fellowship that made him the good comrade that he was at any and all times. All who knew him will mourn the loss of a good man and citizen. Funeral services will be held Monday, Feb. 6th, at 11 a.m., at which high mass will be sung.

Leaves Us.
We regret to learn that C.C. Weber has made arrangements to leaves us and go to McGregor, where he has purchased the furniture business of A.L. Meier. He will take possession about the 1st of next month. While we regret to lose him and his wife from among us we hope it will be advanteous to him, and that success may crown his labors in the pocket city. We are not advised as to who will succeed him in the Postville clothing house, nor as to what Mr. Meier will do.

We have had no outside help this week except a little from George and Louie Thoma, who have set a little type for us.

One evening last week, while in town, Jas. Inyard had his harness all cut to pieces. Such vandalism is unworthy of this enlightened age.

Mrs. M.E. Tuttle will go to Elma tomorrow to spend a few weeks with the children. She has been at Hawkeye and Decorah since leaving here.

Mr. and Mrs. Frank J. Steele returned from their wedding outing last Saturday afternoon and were warmly welcomed by their many friends.

A letter from D.A. Murphy informs us that M.F., who has been very sick with diphtheria is out of danger which will be good news to his old friends here.

W.A. Burdick and wife have spent a part of the week at the Wm. Shepherd home. Will has had a three weeks siege with the grip and is just able to be around again.

Miss Josephine Durno has gone to Minneapolis to spend two or three weeks in a tailor dressmaking establishment. She is determined to know all there is to learn about dressmaking.

Mr. and Mrs. Jno. Crosby entertained about thirty of their friends at progressive crokinole and cinch last evening. A splendid time is reported.

Paul Willman will move into his residence in town, on Green street tomorrow.

Mrs. L.P. Sonnkalb will move into the Gorham residence which she purchased some time ago, March 8th.

We had a pleasant call last Friday from Supervisor J.A. Drogset and Mr. Hagen, a brother of County Auditor Hagen. They had been to West Union buying thorough bred short horn stock for their herds. They are quite extensively engaged in the breeding of fine stock.

Wm. Fenske of Acme, Howard county came down Wednesday evening. He made this office a pleasant call. He is propering in his new location with the exception that he has lost some of his hogs.

Ed Prior while in Chicago roomed at the home of M.L. McKinley whom he reports as making splendid progress in his profession. He is now associated with Mr. Burres, as partner, and the firm is fast becoming widely known as one of the most able and successful law firms in the city.
