[CALHOON, MARY BERKEY]
[Clarinda Journal (Clarinda, Iowa), Friday, November 30, 1906
Mary Calhoon, wife of David Calhoon, was born in Holmes county, O., March 26, 1829. She was married to David Calhoon, May 31, 1849, and together they removed to Iowa in 1857. Their first and only home in Iowa was established in Buchanan township, Page county, twelve and one-half miles southeast of Clarinda. The land on which they settled belonged at that time to the government and became theirs through homestead entry. It was a brave undertaking and one requiring the courage of which heroes are made, to take a thousand mile trip overland, leaving behind them the old home ties and the tender associations of youth, and locate in a wooded wilderness where the nearest neighbors were miles away, with hardships many and comforts few. But the young couple looked hopefully towards the future and through persistent effort found the fulfillment of the old time prophecy: "The wilderness and the solitary place shall be made glad." To them were born ten children, eight of whom were with their mother in her last hours, viz: Leander W. of Victor, Colo.; Elizabeth Gray, Rockwell City, Ia.; Mary E. VanSwearengen, Holton, Kan.; Alma M. [ae] Beery, George N. [ewton] Lewis D. [avid], James W., Eddie B. [erkey], all of whom live in or near Shambaugh. Mrs. Calhoon had been in feeble health for a year or more, but her last sickness was of but three weeks duration. On Monday Nov. 26 at 4 a. m., she passed peacefully into the dreamless sleep which we wrongfully call death. In early life she became a member of the Presbyterian church and although in later years she resided far away from any congregation of that people, she still held to that faith and kept her church letter as a sacred possession. Funeral services were held at the Pleasant Ridge church on Tuesday at 11 a. m., conducted by Rev. J. N. Maclean of Clarinda. She was laid to rest in the Clarinda cemetery, beside her husband, who died about six years ago.

Another Soldier Gone
HEPBURN, Ia., Dec. 6, 1900. – A. [ndrew] J. [ackson] Chambers was taken sick just a few days ago. Tuesday morning of this week we received the news of his death. This was sad news and so unexpected and in his death we have lost a good man, a true Christian, one noted for his honest dealings in his business transactions, one that will be missed as a worker in the church. Our town and vicinity will miss him and his kind words and good advice that he would so often give will never be forgotten.

Monday at about 5:30 p. m. the son was called to the telephone and as a result boarded a north bound train and left for Villisca. The father passed away about half an hour later, his death having been caused by heart failure. No more worthy man or more exemplary Christian has ever engaged in business in this community.

Seth J. Clark – Seth J. [ames] Clark, one of the pioneer citizens of Page county, is dead. He was a good, substantial man and left an honored name. a resident of East River township, when seized with paralysis he was taken to the Kenilworth hospital in Clarinda, where he passed away. His remains were taken to New Market on the noon train of the Keokuk and Western railroad today, where the funeral takes place this afternoon from the home of the sister of the deceased. burial will be in the Old Memory cemetery. The Journal has been furnished with the following concerning the late Mr. Clark:
Seth J. [ames] Clark was born September 23, 1840, in Massachusetts and came to East River Township, Page County, Iowa with his parents who formerly lived in Illinois in 1859 and died January 20, 1914, in Clarinda, Iowa leaving five children: Walter, Wilber. Bert, Myrtle, and Edna, all of whom were with him in his last days except Myrtle, who lives in California. George W. Clark and Mary Ann Cook of New Market were a brother and sister of Mr. Clark and his youngest sister, Susan died at Colorado Springs July 14, last. Emma A. Teter, a daughter of his sister, Susan, was also with him in his last days, assisting much in making them pleasanter and easier for him.
In early life, Mr. Clark was actively engaged in the business of freighting for the government, having a contract to haul goods and military supplies from St.. Joseph, Leavenworth and Kansas City to Santa Fe, New Mexico. The country he passed through was full of hostile Indians who every much resented the advancements of civilization and were capturing and destroying wherever they could. Mr. Clark's contract called for government protection with scouts and a guard. Col. Cody was then a government scout and traveled with Mr. Clark's company on several trips, they becoming well acquainted.
It was his delight to tell of those exciting and troublesome times when they were constantly on the lookout for Indians. In telling of these experiences, he said he did not know of killing a single Indian, but if he had not it was because he had not shot at them often enough as there were many times when they were attacked by them. In fact, his teaming was brought to a sudden end by an overwhelming force of Indians swooping down on them and capturing their entire outfit, they only escaping with their lives. Mr. Clark lost about $40,000 in this raid and made claim against the government for his loss because they did not furnish adequate protection as agreed, but finding that the claim could not be completed without allowing some politician at least half of it for getting it through, he never made further attempt to collect his claim. It may have been this event which started him to thinking of social and governmental evils. At any rate he gave much time and study to this subject and although he was a man of much property, owning over 800 acres of Page county land, yet he had vision of a time not far distant when the principles of Christianity would be carried out in politics, religion and all material things as well as spiritual things.
Mr. Clark loved to be out of doors, spent much of his time riding horseback, and was especially fond of horses.
This active life has finally ended but he will be long remembered especially by those who knew him best.

Joseph Cramer – Major Joseph Cramer died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. C. W. Hendricks, at Red Oak, Friday evening, April 6, 1900, at 6:45 o'clock, at the age of 86 years 11 months and 14 days. Short funeral services were held at the Hendricks home in Red Oak, conducted by Rev. G. W. Hohenshelt, the resident pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church of that city. Rev. Mr. Shaw, pastor of the Red Oak Baptist church, made a very sympathetic prayer and Rev. Mr. Hooker, presiding elder of the Methodist Episcopal church of this district, delivered a very touching and appealing sermon, he being an intimate friend of Mr. Cramer and family for the past thirty years. The Masonic lodge of Red Oak furnished pall bearers and escorted the remains to the train Saturday evening, when they were brought to Clarinda, where pall bearers from Warren Post No. 11, Grand Army of the Republic, a number of old soldiers and relatives and friends of the family were in waiting to receive them. They were taken to the home of his nephew, James Cramer, on Seventeenth street and Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock funeral services were held at the Methodist Episcopal church, conducted by Rev. Mr. Hohenshelt, assisted by Rev. E. E. IlgenFritz. The members of Warren post No. 11 attended in a body and marched to the cemetery in step to the muffled drum to pay their last respects to their endeared comrade.
Joseph Cramer was born in Strasburg, Lancaster county, Pa., April 22, 1813, where he resided until about 1834, when he removed to Columbus, Ind., where he was engaged in the boot and shoe business. He was married to Miss Mary A. Lytle of Strasburg. June 7, 1846, the death of his wife occurred, and shortly after that he enlisted as sergeant in the Fourth Indiana regiment, organized at Columbus, and served his country during the Mexican war, after which he returned to Columbus, and in 1850 was married to Elizabeth Lytle, a sister-in-law of his former wife. About 1851 he moved to Gosport, Ind., where he remained for several years, removing to Clarinda about 1857, and a couple of years later located on a farm about fifteen miles north of this city in Douglas township. In 1860, when the honor of the country was threatened, Mr. Cramer organized Company K, of the Fourth Iowa Infantry. He went with it to the front as its captain and was promoted March 18, 1863, to the rank of major. After returning home from the war, he again attended to his farm. In 1867 he was elected as the representative of Page county in the Iowa legislature for a term of two years. in January 1884, Mr. Cramer's wife passed away and about a year later he quit the farm and took up his residence with his son, J. M. Cramer in Colorado. While in that state, and after he had passed the age of 72 years, he served two terms as county commissioner. For the past several years he has made his home part of the time in Page and Montgomery counties and part of the time in Colorado. About twelve years ago he was attacked with la grippe while in Colorado and about two weeks later he came to this state, making his home with his daughter, Mrs. C. W. Hendricks at Red Oak. After arriving in Red Oak his health began to fail him rapidly, la grippe, asthma, and finally heart trouble gradually gnawing his life away. For several weeks prior to his demise he was unable to lie down and would sleep while propped up in a chair. He would not consent to have his clothing removed but always remained dressed as though he was going out on the street. For several hours just previous to his death he could neither lie down nor sit up in the chair and in consequence he was continually kept on the move, from the chair to and from bed. He remained conscious until a few moments before he passed away.
He was converted in 1830 and joined the Methodist Episcopal church from which time he lived a consistent member and active leader in church work. For many years he was an active member of the Masonic order and remained so up the time of his death.
Mr. Cramer leaves eight children living, three by his first wife and five by the latter. The children of the first family are J. H. Cramer, living on the old homestead in Douglas township, Mrs. C. W. Hendricks of Red Oak and Mrs. W. T. Smith of New York City; those of the second family being Mrs. W. G. Davie of Villisca, J. S. Cramer of Stanton, D. W. Cramer of Stayton, Ore., J. M. Cramer of Sterling, Colo., and Mrs. Hattie Milford of Nebraska.
Thus ended the earthly career of one of Page county's noble pioneers—a man universally respected for his sterling worth and usefulness.

Rufus S. Crosby Dead
Last Survivor of Large Family, Except Adopted Daughter
Death removed Rufus S. Crosby from the scenes of his earthly labor Saturday night, September 13th. He had been suffering from a general breakdown for several weeks and was receiving treatment at the Aurora hospital when he collapsed. He had reached the advanced age of 85 years, 4 months and 27 days. Not only his brothers and sisters, but his wife and nine children preceded him to the other shore. The only surviving member of his family is an adopted daughter, Mrs. Maude Alden of Aurora.
Mr. Crosby was a native of Meadville, Pa., where he was married and spent his early manhood. He settled near Shenandoah, Iowa, in middle life, coming to Hamilton county about sixteen years ago. He first bought property in the northwest part of Aurora, now owned by B. F. Bossingham, but later resumed his lifelong occupation of farming near the present site of Murphy. He sold his 200-acre property there about eight years ago and retired, coming to Aurora to spend his declining years.
Mr. Crosby was a good citizen and leaves a long record of useful activities. While religiously inclined, he was not a church member at the time of his death. He once belonged to the Congregational church but more recently had been content with attending the various services when his health permitted as a sort of free lance.
Funeral services were held at the home of Mrs. W. H. Alden Sunday afternoon, Rev. C. C. Dobbs officiating. Mrs. J. G. Alden of York sang, with Miss Effie Swanson at the piano. The body was taken to Shenandoah, Iowa, Monday, accompanied by Mrs. Arthur Alen and Mrs. Charles Ronin, Mr. Alden preceding them by automobile. It was laid to rest by the side of the wife at that place Tuesday.

The disease was heart trouble and he died at the hospital in Aurora, where he had the care of regular nurses and a man who was secured to wait upon him. At the last he suffered from a strangulated hernia, which was one of the chief if not the primary cause of death.
Th body was taken to the Munson undertaking parlors and from there to the home of his adopted daughter, Mrs. Arthur Alden. His desire was that his body be taken to Shenandoah, Iowa, Mrs. Alden and her husband accompanying him to his last resting place.

[CUNNING, WILLIAM M.]
Clarinda Journal (Clarinda, Iowa), Friday, February 9, 1900
William M. Cunning was born in Columbiana county, O., Jan. 25, 1818; died at his home in Clarinda, Ia., after a lingering illness, Tuesday, Feb. 6, 1900, at 7:40 p. m., age 82 years and 12 days. His parents, Robert and Margaret Cunning were natives of Pennsylvania and his paternal grandfather served in the war of '76 under Washington. When William was 6 years of age he removed with his parents to Trumbull county, O., where he grew to manhood. At the age of 14 he began his apprenticeship in bricklaying at Cleveland, O., serving seven years. Eight years later, in 1844, he emigrated overland to Page county, being one of its early settlers and ever representative of its best manhood and business enterprises. June 3, 1841, Brother Cunning was united in marriage to Miss Ruth Chandler, whom he has preceded "into glory." Almost sixty years they lived and toiled together amid hardships of pioneer life, in the struggle for home; in raising their children in the Lord. Nine children were born to them of whom Henry C. gave up his life at Port Gibson, May 1, 1863, in the civil war; while Winfield, Andrew, Frank, Alonzo, Hiram, five sons; and Mrs. Davison and Mrs. Hebbert of Page county and Mrs. L. T. Rawlings of Oregon still survive. Besides these, two brothers, Amos of Cedar Falls and Albert of New Market; and two sisters, Mrs. Linebaugh of Clarinda and Mrs. Scott of Warrensburg, Mo., remain upon earth. Brother Cunning was energetic, industrious, alive to the questions of the times and the great need of the world for the Saviour. To his industry many buildings in Clarinda bear witness, he having built many of its business blocks and having laid the corner stone of our court house. To his interest in heavenly things sixty-eight years of loyal service for the Master are in evidence. He loved the house of God and delighted in its fellowship, having been connected with the Christian church since he was 14 years of age—first upon the Western Reserve in Ohio, where he often listened with delight to the pioneers of the Restoration, Campbell, Stone, Scott, Haydens and others and later in Page county with two succeeding congregations in the country, which disintegrated and finally with the Clarinda Christian church of which he became a member, April 26, 1891 and an elder, September, 1892, remaining so until his death. Brother Cunning in his mature years was a great singer. Ever a leader of song and rejoicing in the hymns of Zion. His favorite hymn was:
"Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep,
From which none ever wake to weep." . . . .
The funeral services were held at the Christian church, Thursday, Feb. 8, at 2 p. m., conducted by the pastor, W. B. Clemmer, who spoke from Phillipians, I, 21, "To die is gain." The remains were borne to our city of the dead, to await the triumph of God. The family return heartfelt thanks for all kindnesses during the illness and death of Mr. Cunning.   W. B. C.

Mr. William M. Cunning, one of the oldest men of the city and one of the earliest settlers of this part of the country, died at his home east of the square on last Tuesday evening at 7:40 o'clock, aged 82 years and 12 days. Funeral services were held at the Christian church yesterday afternoon at two o'clock, conducted by Rev. Clemmer. Mr. Cunning's death robs Clarinda and Page County of one of their most noted and best citizens. Deceased was born January 25, 1818, in Columbiana county, Ohio, and removed to Trumbull county, Ohio, when he was six years of age. In 1836 he removed to Crawford county, where he followed his trade of brick laying for several years. in 1844 he came to Page county, settling in what was then Buchanan, but is now East River township. He made the journey by teams, consuming forty-two days. In the autumn of 1854, he settled in East River township, which he had the honor of naming and through his and his wife's industry they enjoyed prosperity and became large land owners. It was June 3, 1841, that Mr. Cunning was married. Miss Ruth Chandler was the bride. Nine children have been born to them and all but one are yet living. Henry Clay Cunning, their son, fell at the battle of Port Gibson, he being a member of Co. K, 23d Iowa Infantry. The other children living are Joseph W. S., Andrew O., Franklin, Mrs. Sarah Davidson, Mrs. Mary Hebbert, Alonzo, Hiram, and Mrs. Philena Rawlings. Mr. Cunning has always been one of the leading citizens of the county. He was a candidate on the Greenback ticket in 1876, for representative. He was moral, honest and industrious and was a faithful member of the Christian church, which he joined at the age of sixteen years. He and his wife were members of the Clarinda congregation. Mr. Cunning built the first brick building in Clarinda, now occupied by V. Graff's store and helped to lay the foundation of the Page County courthouse. He had the honor of laying the corner stone of that imposing structure in 1885. He always had the respect of the community and during the years that he has lived in this city has made friends with all who meet him. His death at a ripe old age will be mourned by the whole county.

Tarkio Street. Three brothers also survive, Joseph H. of Yakima, Wash., John F. and Edward of Clarinda.
He has always been a great reader, interested in history and in religious subjects, having been confirmed in the Lutheran faith when fourteen years of age, later transferring his affiliations to the Clarinda Presbyterian church. With the coming of the automobile, he was the first expert in mending rubber tires in Clarinda, located first with the McDowell & Driftmier Implement Co., later being associated with his son Mart in the Clarinda Tire & Battery Co. which they founded.
In many ways he is as representative of the City of Clarinda as any man living or who has gone before; the kind of good, average citizen who forms the backbone of our commonwealth.

Mrs. Malinda A. Driftmier, wife of George A. Driftmier, died at her home in this city, Tuesday morning, Feb. 6, 1900, age 41 years and 21 days. The funeral services were held yesterday at the German Lutheran church eight miles northwest of this city at 12 o'clock noon, Rev. C. Jobst conducting the services, and the remains were laid to rest in the cemetery near the church. Mrs. Driftmier's maiden name was Malinda A. Niewedde. She was born in Jackson county, Ind., Jan. 16, 1859. She removed with her parents to this city from Indiana about 1875 and was a resident of this vicinity until the time of her death. She was married Feb. 25, 1880, to George G. Driftmier. At the time of their marriage Mr. Driftmier had purchased a piece of raw land about four miles northwest of this city and together the young couple labored and improved this piece of property until they converted it into one of the finest farms in Page county. In 1887 they moved to this city, where their home has been since. To Mr. and Mrs. Driftmier were born seven children, all of whom are living. The names and ages of the children are: Martin, 18; Anna, 16; Harry, 14; Albert, 11; Erna, 9; Clara, 6, and Adeline, 4 years of age. Mrs. Driftmier's father died in this city a few months after his removal here from Indiana and her mother died May 16, 1889. Two sisters and two brothers of Mrs. Driftmier survive her. Her sisters, Mrs. J. H. Driftmier and Mrs. William Sunderman, reside in this vicinity. One of her brothers, Benjamin Niewedde, is a teacher in one of the schools at Mobile, Ala., and the other, John Niewedde, resides in Dudleytown, Ind. For some time Mrs. Driftmier's health had been failing and everything possible was done to relieve her, she and her husband having but a few week ago returned from a trip to New Mexico where they went with the hope that the change of climate would benefit her, but without avail. She leaves a large circle of friends in this community who mourn her death. She was a woman highly respected and loved for her kind disposition and Christian like actions. Her children will mourn the loss of a dear good mother and her husband the loss of a kind and loving helpmeet.
[Note: She is buried in the Clarinda Cemetery, not the church cemetery, as stated in the obituary.]

Mrs. Ellen Johnson Falk, wife of Charles M. Falk, died at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence G. Johnson, in Clarinda, Friday evening, Feb. 26, 1904. She had been in failing health for a long time and was afflicted with a cancer, from which her suffering was severe. She and her husband lived for over twenty years at Essex and came from there to this city within the past few years, making their home here with their daughter, Mrs. Johnson and husband, where she died. Mrs. Falk was born May 7, 1844, in Vrexstad, Sweden, and emigrated to the United States when she was 16 years of age. She was married to Mr. Falk, April 1, 1863, at Rock Island, Ill. Four daughters were born to them: Anna Josephine, who died at the age of 26 years; Mrs. Selma Mathilda Swanburg, Mrs. Alma Dorothy Johnson and Hilda Olivia. The latter died at the age of 18 years. Mrs. Swanburg, one of the surviving daughters, resides in Woodhull, Ill., and the other, Mrs. Johnson, in Clarinda, as previously stated. In addition to being survived by the two daughters, she also leaves her husband, one half brother, Sam Johnson, five grandchildren and many relatives and friends. Mrs. Falk was the daughter of J. P. Johnson. Her mother died when Mrs. Falk was a little girl. Her father made his home with Mrs. Falk much of the time during his life after she was married and lived at her home in Essex. He died in Woodhull, Ill., in 1901. The following concerning her life and death, has been quoted to The Journal:
"A good and dutiful wife, a dear and loving mother and a kind friend; she prepared to meet her Savior and during her illness only wished she could soon be called home and enjoy the peace and rest awaiting her there. The many beautiful expressions as to her departure will be treasured by her husband and daughters, who were at her bedside during her illness and at her death. Although illness had made it difficult for her to speak and to express her last thoughts she called the attention of those nearest to her, and pointed upward, and in that way expressed her hope and desire to meet them with her dear Savior whom she had served. Funeral services for Mrs. Falk were held Tuesday afternoon at the home where she died, being conducted by Rev. Theodore Seashore, pastor of the Swedish Lutheran church of Essex, of which denomination she had been a member from early life. The remains were conveyed to the Burlington route station in the evening, where they were placed on the Keokuk and Western passenger train for Essex, the place of burial.

Falk, Clarence G. Johnson and family and Rev. G. A. Swanburg and family, Mr. Swanburg and family being here from Woodhull, Ill. At Essex the remains were taken to the home of Fred Falk, brother-in-law of the deceased. The last service previous to interment was conducted at Essex, Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Theodore Seashore officiating, and the burial was in the Essex cemetery beside the graves of Mrs. Falk's father and her two daughters.

Frederick Fisher is lying very low with pneumonia at the Killingsworth Hospital. His death is hourly looked for. Later. – Mr. Fisher died at one o'clock this afternoon. Funeral services will be held at the Christian Church in this city Thursday at eleven o'clock a. m., conducted by Rev. Clemmer.

[FISHER, FREDRICK]
Clarinda Journal (Clarinda, Iowa), Friday, April 6, 1900
Frederick Fisher – Frederick Fisher was born at Baden, Germany, Nov. 26, 1816; died at Clarinda, Ia., after an illness of three days of pneumonia, April 3, 1900; aged 83 years 4 months and 7 days. At the early age of 8 years, he came with his parents to America, locating first in Pennsylvania, then later in Ohio. Here he grew to manhood, learned a trade, engaged in business, and developed the sterling traits of character by which we remember him. He was married in 1845 at Bucyrus, O., to Miss Elizabeth Palmer, who after a wedded life of half a century, preceeded him five years ago, across the river into the Great Beyond. To them seven children were born, of whom two, Annie and Eddie, died in youth, while George, W. A. C. P., three sons, and Mrs. Mary Middaugh and Mrs. Laura Alexander, two daughters, still survive, bringing here the tribute of their love in memory of the affection of the father who has gone before.
In 1855, Brother Fisher moved with his family to Page county, once owning the grounds upon which the state hospital now stands. He became one of our staunch, upright citizen farmers, living in the esteem and respect of his neighbors and of the community.
In religion he was raised in the Lutheran faith, to which he was loyal. Five years ago, August 25, 1895, he became a member of the Christian church, loving faithfully the plea, no creed but the Christ, no book but the Bible, no authority but the Divine. He loved the house of God and the fellowship of Saints. How his feet led him thither, how he sat and worshipped, how eagerly he heard the word of Life. These are memories to me as I think of him. Only 10 days ago he sat here, happy in the conscious presence of the Infinite and in the joys of God's house.
A few months ago his old time friend, William Cunning, passed away. Their meeting just before this, after a separation of weeks, was touching, both were ill, the one seeking health, the other waiting the approaching end of earth life, both felt that their feet were slipping over the brink. Today they are in Paradise of God, to be forever with the Lord. As our Brother Fisher lay upon his bed in affliction he would say: "Lord have mercy on me," and He did, for he died as peacefully as a little child. The eternal calm of God has come to him through faith in Jesus Christ. "He has been so good to me," he would say; then "Mother," as memories of other days came, and shall we not say it, visions of the fulfillment of his hope for the future. Aye, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints."
  It is true:
"We know not where His islands lift their
      palms in air,
We only know we can not drift beyond His
      love and care."
Well, therefore, might he say: "I hope to see my Pilot face to face, when I have crossed the bar."    W. B. C.

Frederick Fisher, whose death occurred in this city on last Tuesday afternoon, was one of the oldest residents of the county and one of the most influential and highly respected citizens as well. He was born in Ober-Muchelbough, Catcheedom, Baden, about twelve miles from Berlin and came to this country when but eight years old. His early life was spent with his family in Pennsylvania and Ohio. In 1855 he came to Page county, moving on the land now occupied by the State Hospital. He married Elizabeth Palmer in Bucyrus, Ohio, in Ohio, in 1845, and to him and his wife, who preceded him to the better land about six years ago, seven children were born. Two of them, Annie and Eddie, are dead and the others—George, Mrs. Mary Middaugh, W. A., Mrs. Laura Alexander, and C. P., all live in Page County.
Mr. Fisher was aged 83 years, 5 months and 7 days at the time of his death.

He went on a short business trip to Randolph, Iowa, and came home a few days later, sick with pneumonia. He grew worse and went to the Killingsworth Hospital, where he gradually grew weaker until death relieved him of suffering last Tuesday at one o'clock p. m. His sudden demise, after so short an illness, was a surprise to his many relatives and friends, who mourn him as a loving father and a true and trusted neighbor. About five years ago Mr. Fisher became a member of the Christian Church of this city and has lived since then a faithful member of that organization. Funeral services were held from the church yesterday morning at eleven o'clock, conducted by the pastor, Rev. Clemmer.

[FLOWERS, RICHARD BERNARD]
Clarinda Journal (Clarinda, Iowa), Friday, October 5, 1900
Richard B. [ernard] Flowers died suddenly of apoplexy about 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon at his residence in Clarinda. Although he had complained of ill health for three or four months before his death, he had not appeared seriously indisposed. He had carried on his usual work about his home, was downtown so often and seemed so well that there was no warning of his approaching death until hardly more than a few moments before his demise. Tuesday forenoon he drove down town in his buggy and went about as customary. When his near neighbor, O. V. Hurdle, went home to dinner, at nearly 1 o'clock, Mr. Flowers was cleaning up the ground at his home. He had gathered and piled tomato vines and cleaned up a garden spot of considerable size. Mr. Hurdle conversed with him in a neighborly way, Mr. Flowers giving no sign of the fate so soon in store for him. About 1:15 Mrs. Flowers went to the Hurdle home for some hot drops for her husband, whom she reported as walking the floor in pain. He took the medicine and became easier. Later he was worse. His daughter, Cora Polsley, was sent to bring Dr. T. E. Powers, but Mr. Flowers' condition was now alarming, and Mrs. Flowers hastened to a neighbor's home to telephone for the doctor. Thus left, Mr. Flowers walked out of doors and seeing Mrs. Hurdle, walked to the division fence between their respective homes, calling to her and saying: "They've sent for a doctor but I'll not live till he gets here." Returning to his house, help was at hand, but he fell in an endeavor to reach his bed and died within ten minutes. The report of the death of Mr. Flowers was soon the general topic of conversation about the city, and the expressions of sorrow were accompanied by exclamations upon the suddenness of his going; and how recently he had been seen apparently so well. The late Mr. Flowers was 61 years of age, Sept. 22, last. He was an old citizen of Page county, a retired farmer, and universally respected by those who knew him. In his later life he was deaf and to converse with him one was obliged to write the language communicated. He greatly appreciated information imparted to him and entertainingly talked to others. He was twice married and had three sons and three daughters by his first wife. The second wife was Mrs. Delia Polsley, by whom he had two children. She and the eight children survive him. The funeral was held Thursday afternoon at his late residence, conducted by Rev. E. E. IlgenFritz and was largely attended. The burial was in the city cemetery.
