DEATH OF WELL KNOWN PHYSICIAN.
Dr. R. D. Clarke (sic Clark), of Akron, one of the best known physicians in
Plymouth County, died at his home in Akron on Friday, after a brief illness
from pneumonia.
Dr. Ronald D. Clark was born in Cortland county, New York, October 8, 1842,
and in 1851 the family moved to Wisconsin. R. D. Clark enlisted in company
K., Wisconsin regular infantry during the Civil War and served with honor
until its close. He attended Rush Medical college in Chicago, from which he
graduated, after which he practiced a year in Columbia, Wis. In 1867 he
married Mrs. Jane A. Davis and moved to Akron, where he has followed his
profession since. He was a republican in politics and a member of the
Baptist church. He was honored and respected throughout the country side.
Dr. Clark was a Mason and a member of Plymouth Commandery No. 57 Knights
Templar of this city and a large representation of that body went to Akron
to attend the funeral.
The funeral was very largely attended there being several hundred people in
attendance and was conducted with Masonic honors. Plymouth Commandery No.
57, K. T. of this city, of which the deceased was a member, was represented
by A.C. Colledge, J.U. Sammis, H.H. Hahn, Thos. Treat, Thos. Adamson, J.D.
Landi, O.G. Berner, Geo. Ward, E.S. Shannon, Geo. Ewells, D.K. Bennett, I.
Knuteson, L.C. Hiser.
The ladies of the Akron chapter of Eastern Star dispensed hospitality to the
visiting Templars.
COUNTRYMAN SECURES STATE CERTIFICATE.
G. C. Countryman, who was elected superintendent of the Plymouth County
schools at the last general election, went to Council Bluffs last week and
passed the examination for a state certificate which is good for five years.
The law provides that a county superintendent must have a state certificate.
Mr. Countryman, at the time he was nominated for office had not passed the
examination and had no opportunity to do so between that time and time of
his election. Of course in his case, it was a foregone conclusion that he
would pass the examination with honor and credit in view of the degrees he
has already obtained at various universities and colleges, and there is no
doubt Mr. Countryman is one of the best qualified men ever selected for this
important office.
In several counties in Iowa complications have arisen where superintendents
have been elected and have since failed to pass the state examination. In
selecting an able and fitting candidate for County Superintendent, the
voters of Plymouth County displayed judgment and acumen. Mr. Countryman will
make an able, hard working and efficient official.

CORPSE LOST IN TRANSIT.
All Efforts to Trace Body Have Failed.
Funeral preparations stand delayed and a weeping widow and anxious family
are almost distracted because of the body of William Wolfe, of Fort Dodge,
has been lost by the railroads in transit. Wolfe died in Oakland, Cal., over
a week ago. The body was shipped at once, but never arrived. Railroad and
express companies have tried in vain to trace it. Once word was received
that it was found and would arrive at a certain time. The hearse and funeral
procession waited at the train, but it did not arrive, and since that time
all trace of it has been lost.
The body was received by his brother Thursday, after having been lost in
transit by the railroads for two weeks, during all of which time it has been
constantly traveling. It had gone south through California and Old Mexico,
finally making a half circle and returning from the east. The corpse
traveled thousands of miles during the two weeks it was lost and touched a
dozen states.
