Thomas Prosser was born in Wales [sic] on Feb 15, 1831. When about 33 years of age he emigrated to America, locating first in Ohio, afterward removing to Missouri, and after residing there for a year or two he came to Page county, Iowa.

On August 1st, 1875, he was united in marriage to Nancy Newman. On the death of his wife which occurred at Pitkin, Colorado, three years ago, he moved to this place and has since resided here with Mr and Mrs Isaac Clowser. After a brief illness he passed away on Tuesday, May 16 at 8:15 pm, aged 74 years, 3 months and 1 day.

In religious belief he held to the doctrines of the United Brethren having united with that people about ten years ago. He lived firm in that faith, believing that "henceforth there was laid up for him a crown of righteousness which God, the righteous Judge, would give him in that day."

Funeral services were held at the home about two and one-half miles southeast of town yesterday at 2:30 pm, conducted by Rev W.T. Fisher.

Thomas Prosser sends the HERALD the following from the Pitkin (Garrison county, Colo) Miner, in reference to the death of his wife, formerly Mrs Cary Pearson of this city:

"The community received the news of the death of Mrs Nancy Prosser--known to all as "Grandma" Prosser -- with sorrow. She passed quielty away yesterday morning at 9 o'clock, having suffered for a number of months with cancer. She was about 68 years of age, having been born in Baxter county, Virginia, in 1834. At the age of eight she moved to Monroe county, Iowa, with her parents, J.C. Boggs and wife, who were prominent pioneers of the state. The deceased was married in 1854 to Cary Pearson, who was killed in the mines in 1869. Eight children was the result of this union, three of whom are residents of this place--J.F. and Wm Pearson and Mrs S. Van Pelt, who, with nearly forty grandchildren and many great-grandchildren, mourn her demise. Mrs Pearson was married again in 1875 to Thomas Prosser, of Clarinda, Iowa, who has patiently watched at her bedside during her sickness. Grandma Prosser was a true Christian, having acknowledged the faith when a young woman. She bore her great suffering with a fortitude characteristic of all who believe that "everything is for the best."

James Albert Pinkerton was born in Preble county, Ohio, May 25, 1845, and died at his home six miles southwest of Clarinda, November 7, 1911, being 66 years, 5 months and 12 days old. He was the son of Ebenezer and Mary Pinkerton and one of seven children, two sisters, one of Peoria, Ill., and one of Albany, Ore., survive him, neither of whom was able to be present at the funeral. Mr Pinkerton's parents, with his brothers and sisters moved to Peoria county, Illinois, in the fall of 1853, where his younger life was spent. On January 19, 1875, he was married to Phoebe D. Finley. they started their new home on a farm near Hanna City, Ill., where they lived for seventeen years, into this home there were born two sons, Clyde and Walter, and two daughters, Bertha and Clara. The mother with their four children remain to mourn the loss of a loving husband and a kind father.

In the spring of 1892 they moved to Page county, living three and a half miles south of Clarinda. Six years ago next spring they moved to their present home. In 1855 Mr Pinkerton made a public profession of Christ and united with the United Presbyterian church of Smithville, Ill. Rev John Harper was then the pastor. Since that time he had been a faithful and consistent member of his chosen denomination. At the time of his death his membership was with the United Presbyterian church at College [nothing further to this sentence]

On Monday evening Mr Pinkerton went to the pasture for his cows and not returning with them, his son started to look for him, and found him unable to return. He then went back and got the horse and buggy and helped his father to the house. A physician was summoned but there seemed to be little that could be done. During the entire time he was conscious and talked cheerfully and rested some. On waking from a nap at 3 o'clock Tuesday morning, he quickly and easily passed away. Surely we can say, "Be ye also ready, for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of man cometh."

The funeral was held today from his late home, conducted by his pastor, Rev J.P. Nesbit. Interment at Clarinda.

Born near French Lick Springs, in Orange county, Indiana, August 2nd 1852, his grandfather, Young Farris, was the first county clerk of Page county, Ia. His ancestry was strictly American, his great grandsires both on his father's and mother's side having taken part in the Revolutionary War. When two years of age, the boy was brought by his parents to Page county, Ia., where he has made his home for more than sixty three years. Their home was in East River township, near the school house still bearing the name Pace, as a monument to their having lived here. Frank was a successful farmer, one of the men who have helped transform this country from a prairie wilderness to its present state of productiveness in agriculture. He never married, living a bachelor life, and rarely visited by his relatives, as was his preference. Two brothers and two sisters survive, E.A. Pace and Mrs Susannah Reeves of New Market, and in Colorado Charles W. Pace and Mrs Rose Campbell.
