We Have Lost Him
John W. Crow died at the home of his parents, in this city, on
last Thursday, October the 23rd, 1902, after an illness of nearly
two years. Aged 29 years. He was a young man of rare ability and
good character, also of much promise for a bright future. His
amiable disposition endeared him in the heart of all with whom he
had an aquaintance, to say that all will miss him, does not
express the fullness of the loss, not only the loved ones at
home, but the entire community deeply feel the loss. The memory
of John W. Crow will never fade from the minds and hearts of
those who knew him. All of our people will always remember how he
suffered for the past two years, and how bravely he submitted to
his lot, until the Master called him. The funeral was preached at
the residence Saturday afternoon nu Rev. Hagerman of Des Moines,
and all that was left of a true and noble man were laid to rest
in the Junction cemetary, followed by many relatives and friends.
As neighbors and friends we extend to the bereaved parents,
family and friends our most sincere sympathy, in this sad
affliction and keenest sorrow.
