Mr. and Mrs. Tobias McNutt of Yorktown received the sad news of the death of their daughter, Mrs. Alice Lobaugh, wife of Mr. O. G. Lobaugh, at Washington, Kan., Deo. 12, in the 44 years of her age. She was born and reared in this county and will be well remembered by many. She leaves a husband and two children to mourn her death. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Dec 26, 1907

Alice Ada, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Tobias McNutt, was born March 10, 1863, near Yorktown, Page county, Iowa, and died at the home of her brother-in-law, A. C. Lobaugh, at Washington, Kansas, December 12, 1907, at the age of 44 years, 9 months and 2 days.
The subject of this sketch was married to Oliver G. Lobaugh, Christmas Day, 1888. This happy union was blessed in the birth of two children, Hazel and Farael, both of whom are still living, to comfort and sweeten the grief of their father in their mutual sorrow.
Mrs. Lobhugh was a member of a family of nine children, six sisters and three brother. Two of her sisters, Mrs. A. C. Lobaugh and Mrs. William Chaffin, were with her during her last hours. Her brothers, Samuel and Martin had returned to their homes in Iowa the Tuesday before her death. Her father, five sisters and the three brothers survive her. She came with her husband to the farm west of town nine years ago, and here they had an ideal home in the midst of a community that in justifiable pride points to its great number of happy and substantial homes.
Earthly Edens are often entered by sickness, so here, Mrs. Lobaugh grew weary and ill. Her husband lavished upon her a wealth of affection; skilled physicans, change of scene, prayer and tender sympathy did not avail, as her face was toward the sky.
Mrs. Lobaugh had been a faithful and consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal church since 1886. She was very much concerned about her personal life, disposed rather to censure herself when she really deserved praise for her faithful and careful life. She died in peace at the close of a long period of suffering. A large number attended the funeral service which was held from the home of A. C. Lobaugh. Rev. J. W. R. Clardy, her pastor, preached the sermon.— Washington (Kans.) Republican. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Dec 24, 1907

Suicide claims another victim. This time it is W. G. Loft, a farm hand out near Page Center and son of John Loft, who hurled his existence into eternity Monday about 2 p.m. by the bullet route. Despondency in love affairs is said to have been the leading cause.

PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Jul 6, 1911

Last Sunday   afternoon Walter Lofts, aged   24   years,   shot himself in tthe head with   a revolver, causing almost instant death. The shooting occurred at the home of his   parents,    living   about four miles southwest   of Clarinda. The testimony at the coroner's inquest developed the facts that the young man was of good character, not at all a drunkard; that he had spells of despondnecy   once   or twice a year; that he had been disappointed in a love affair when about seventeen years old and had been more or less morose ever since.   He had been out west since in May until recently, and had lost all his belongings worth $400 and had told his mother just a few days ago that his lungs were in   bad condition, all of which facts seemingly drove the young man   into committing suicide. The funeral was held Wednesday morning at 9:30 from the Covenanter church southwest of this city, conducted by the pastor, Rev. McConaughy. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jul 6, 1911

A Mother Called Home
Word reached the streets Monday afternoon, that Mrs. F. W. Lohmar was very sick and none but the close friends knew that her condition was serious until it was announced Tuesday morning, that Mrs F. W.. Lohmar had died at eleven o'clock on Monday night
Mrs. Lohmar had not been feeling well for some time. She had been under the doctor's care for about two weeks. Her case showed signs of being serious and another physician was called in. He at once saw that something would have to be done immediately. He found the liver in such bad shape that it had checked assimilation. The stomach was flushed and the patient rested for a few hours, but only to lapse into unconsciousness until death relieved the suffering. The husband and the two children Willie and Ruth, were the only relatives to be present, as there were none others near enough to reach here by that time.
Miss Sarah E. Scheible was born in Rochester, N. Y., August 24, 1860. She was educated in the city schools and at the age of thirty-one was married to F. W. Lohmar, while living with her parents in that city. To this union were born two children, Willie, aged 18 and Ruth, aged 7, who, with their father were with her during her illness.
Mrs. Lohmar was the oldest of a family of eleven children, one sister, Mrs. Rev. G. Doering, of New York, and the mother have gone on before. There are two brothers in Keokuk, a sister in Seneca, Mo., and the balance of the family are living in Rochester. Because of the long distance, only one brother, George Scheible, and his daughter, and a sister of Mr. Lohmar, Mrs. Rosa Utley, were able to be present at the funeral.
The funeral was held at the German Lutheran church in this city this (Thursday) morning at 10:00 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Happel, the pastor in charge.
Mrs. Lohmar was confirmed in the Lutheran church while a young girl and has adhered to that church throughout life. She has been a good neighbor and an untiring mother in looking after the welfare of her home, her husband and the two children, while Mr. Lohmar has been kept close to the store by the duties growing out of this business.
While we lay away that which is mortal, the influence of an attentive wife and mother will never be forgotten in the home now made desolate by the hand of death. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Sep 8, 1910

Yesterday morning Tip Long who lives on a farm in Taylor county, two miles north and one mile east of Guss, in company with a neighbor, Chas. Walters, started for Clarinda and everything was all right until they came to the bridge over the Nodaway northeast of town on the upper Hawleyville road. On the east side of the river the water was quite deep on the approach of the bridge, but they managed to get through, although they were somewhat frightened on account of the danger through which they passed. After they crossed the bridge they noticed that there was something wrong with the small bridge across a bayou, a short distance this side of the large bridge and so turned back but on account of the trouble in getting over the bridge they were afraid to try going back, and at this time Long remarked to his friend that he could not swim and did not want to take any chances. So they went through the gate at the west end of the bridge and into the pasture field, thinking that they could get through by going around that way. The old bayou runs up through the field for some distance and on the east side of it the bank is steep and it is several feet deep. They were driving along utterly unconscious of danger when suddenly the team plunged into water at least ten feet deep. Walters struggled out and got back to the shallow water, badly exhausted. He noticed that the team was headed down the stream and that Long was still in the spring wagon and called to him to turn the team to the bank so that he could help him out. It seems that when Long pulled on the lines that it threw the team off its balance and the whole outfit turned over with him under the wagon. He was not seen again. The team being reined up quite high could not swim and so were drowned.
The accident occured about half past ten o'clock, but it was over an hour before Walters could get an answer to his calls for help and it was about half past two before a searching party could be organized to recover the body. A number of people went to the scene of the accident and the team was soon dragged out, but the body was not found until about six o'clock. A boat had been procured from Annan's lake, and Link Saum, Frank Blair, J. F. Jones, and Charley Hobson, armed with poles and hooks, taken from the hook and ladder of the Fire Dept, made a systematic hunt and as stated above the body was located and brought to the shore a few minutes before six o'clock.
The remains were brought to town and cared for by Oats & Finley and today were taken to the home of the parents. The interment will be in a country cemetery where other members of the family are buried.
There are some things in connection with the case that are peculiarly sad. The deceased was about twenty five years old, and was the son of Mr. snd Mrs. Geo. Long who are well known residents of the vicinity of Guss. Three years ago the fourth of July Long was married to a daughter of A. C. Davis now a resident of Clarinda. And about two years ago a daughter was born. It seems that the union was not as happy as it should have been and two weeks ago the wife feeling that she could not longer endure the treatment she was receiving took the child and came to her fathers home. She immediately commenced proceedings for divorce on the grounds of cruel and unhuman treatment, and an order had been issued by the court restraining the husband from disposing of his property until the matter could be settled in the courts. Long came here last Wednesday to see his wife, but she refused to admit him. His coming to Clarinda yesterday was for the purpose of seeing his wife or at least having his friend see her with a view of arranging matters between them.

The funeral services on Wednesday were very impressive and attended by several hundreds of people. There were over one hundred teams in the procession that followed the remains to Nodaway, the place of interment. Mr. Finley said that he heard only the most kindly words for the unfortunate young man, and that the bereaved family has the profoundest sympathy of the neighbors was manifest in the attendance at the funeral.
The family fully appreciate the kindly interest manifested by the Clarinda people in the assistance given in the recovery of the body and desire to so express their feelings.

Drowned in the Flood
Tip Long lost his life by drowning in the angry waters from the Nodaway river over overflow, about eleven o'clock Monday forenoon, northeast of the city. He was a young farmer about twenty-six years of age, residing over near Gus, Taylor county, and in company with Charley Walker, a neighbor, started to drive to this city with a team and spring wagon. Reaching the Nodaway river at the iron bridge on the Hawleyville road, they found the highway overflowed with swift running water, but ventured in and reached the bridge in safety. Crossing it they found more water along that lane at the H. H. Fosbrink farm, and nearing the main north and south road they found the culvert in a very dangerous condition and decided to drive through the field on the north side of the road and cross in the pasture where they supposed the land was level. But through this field ran a natural draw where high water always flowed and a lake in one place. It happened that at this point they attempted to cross. Tip made the remark, I can't swim, can you Charley, and he said, not much. Suddenly the horses lunged forward under the swift running current fully twelve feet deep. Walker jumped out and reached the shore from their starting place, but Long clung to the wagon and attempting to rein the horses back to shore when the current upset the wagon with Long underneath, and he was seen no more alive. The team being checked up could not save themselves and were also drowned and floated a short distance down the stream. Walker was there surrounded by water, scared nearly to death and helpless. But he commenced shouting for help and was finally heard by neighbors and word sent to this city for help. Sheriff Foster,City Marshall Brooks, Drs. Killingsworth and Sellards and perhaps fifty others hurried to the scene about one o'clock, driving part of the way through water nearly running into their buggies. Hook poles were taken from fire engine house, a boat and ropes were secured, and while parties held the boat across the current from either side by rope attached thereto, parties in turn in the boat probed the water with the poles back and forth until the body was found by Linc Saum, about six o'clock that evening. The remains were then brought to this city and cared for at the undertaking store of Oates & Finley. In the meantime Long's parents had been notified by telephone, but his father being sick, a brother and sister to Tip were sent here arriving late that evening. Tuesday morning Mr. Finley took the remains home.
As a sequel to this sad accident, it is related that July 4, 1899, Tip Long was married to Miss Aurora Davis, daughter of Ab. C. Davis, then a farmer over in Taylor county, but now residing in Clarinda. The marriage relations of the couple were not amicable, and the 9th day of this month she left him with their twenty-six months' old daughter May, and came to her parents' home. Soon after divorce proceedings were begun in the district court on the ground of cruel treatment and threats to kill her. Temporary alimony of $100, permanent alimony of $2,500 for the support of herself and child, and attorney fee of $50 were asked, she claiming he was worth $4,000 clear of debts. Judge Thornell had ordered a writ of attachment on his property pending the suit next October. Long came here last week to see her but she refused him an audience. Monday he decided to try again, it is said, bringing a friend to intercede for him in the matter of a settlement. But his carelessness and the mad waters have saved further trouble between the man and wife and the courts will dispose of his property in the interest of the remaining family.

He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. George Long, old residents of Taylor county, and is said to have been rather a reckless and headstrong young man. It is claimed he told his parents before leaving Monday he was going to Villisca. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Jul 24, 1902

Zella Margaret Long, daughter of George V. and Jennie S. Rawson, wife of John W. Long, died at Loup City, Nebr., January 31, 1910, after an intermitent illness of about four years, the cause of her death being poisoning of the Thyroid gland. While this community was aware that Mrs. Long was in a serious condition, it was not prepared for this sudden termination, and her death was unexpected.
Mrs. Long was born at Lafayette, Ind., on the 3rd day of May, 1870. The family removed to Michigan City, Ind., in November, 1874, where Mrs. Long spent a part of her girlhood and graduated from the high school in June, 1889. After her graduation she attended the Chicago Art Institute, and subsequently taught at Wellsville, Ohio, and Delavan, Wis., , public schools. She came to Loup City with her widowed mother and sister in 1898, and was married to John Wallace Long on the 5th day of April, 1899; and has resided here continuously since. Mrs. Long has been known in Loup City in her girlhood days, as a bride, as a wife and mother.
The bright gem of motherhood she wore with most befitting grace. Her life's care was her home, her husband and her children. With no thought of self, her daily life was spent in study and activity, to be to them all that wife and mother could be, and all that those dear words imply ghe was." Can more be said? To the children their loss can best be summed up in these few words "Can rank or   wealth,   or   all this
world supply The love which glistens in a mother's eye?"
A person of most ideal character and womanhood, she has ever been associated in our lives with life and joy, hope and sunshine, and to now think of her in connection with sorrow and sadness is strange and unreal. She was a person of most cheerful and hopeful disposition, kindness and patience, and during all the time of her illness, while suffering physical pain, and apprehension of its consequences, with most heroic courage, her sufferings were for herself, her joys and pleasures for us all.
Mrs. Long was active and energetic in social matters and was personally known in every home in Loup City. She was a member of the "Eastern Star"'' and the order of the "P.E.O.," .and in other social and church organizations. By the death of Mrs. Long many, many hearts are saddened with a feeling of personal loss, and in many, many is a grave,   marked   with a cross, hallowed by beautiful thoughts, sacred to her memory, and if we, who are not bound with the flowers of kinship feel her loss so deeply, thehusband, children, the widowed mother, brother and sister, and other relatives, have suffered one so much greater there can be no comparison, and one beyond the power of human consolation. What can we say? Words of consolation offered, oft we feel, but break the heart we fondly hope to heal.
The funeral was held at the M. E. church February 2nd, at 2 p. m., and was largely attended by friends anxious by their presence to show the love and esteem in which Mrs Long was held.
The sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Harper, pastor, and a brief service by the Eastern Star at the church, and a service by the order of P. E. O. at the residence. The floral designs from the orders of which Mrs. Long was member, and the tributes of friends, were most extensive and most beautiful. The deceased was buried in Evergreen Cemetery.
She leaves surviving her to suffer inconsolable loss, her husband, John Wallace Long, John Rawson Long, a son, age 10, Margaret Rawson Long, a daughter, age 5, her mother, Jennie S. Rawson, and her sister, Mrs. H. A. Sleeth, residents of Loup City, and Dr. Vance Rawson, her brother, of Danville, Kentucky.
The relatives and friends from out of town attending the funeral of Mrs. Long were: George G. Long, of Shambaugh, Iowa, brother of John W. Long, Mr. and Mrs. W. R.Mellor, uncle and aunt of Mrs. Long, Charles H. Marley and wife, of Omaha, and Mrs. I. M. Polski and daughter, Mrs. Ed. Jamrog, both of Ashton, and Mrs. Jens Rasmussen, of Rockville.—Sherman County Times-Independent. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Feb 17, 1910

Edgar Howard, editor of the Columbus (Nebr.) Telegram, and son-in-law of the late Mrs. Sarah B. Loranz, of this city, published the following tribute to his "other mother" as he calls her, which we copy in full as follows:
'I have been married many years, and yet I never saw that married day in which I understood or in anywise enjoyed a ribald joke at the expense of mothers in the law. I knew no mother in the law. I did know two mothers. My other mother closed her eyes in the final sleep last night, and when her sweet soul found release from the aged body I felt that from the side of my own life-path had been taken a flower whose perfume was ever inspiring to those who came within its zone. Perhaps the fact that she had never had an own-son made more natural her devotion to me, but certain it is that she showered upon the son who was given to her by marriage with her daughter a wealth of maternal love not less ardent than that which is bestowed upon me by my own dear mother of the blood. I prized my mother-in-law while she was here upon the earth, and now that she has gone to a paradise pledged to those who live the life she lived, I hold her memory as a treasure dear.
"Fifty-five years ago Mother Loranz came from an eastern state to aid her husband in rearing a new home in Nebraska. Transported from surroundings of comfort in the old home to share in the real privations of the pioneers meant to her no shadow of turning from the character lines which she had chosen for the guidance of her way upon the earth. Close association with the rude and sometimes rough meant no trace of the contact upon the face nor upon the life of the calm and beautiful matron whose presence hallowed her place among the hardy seekers for homes in the then uncertain territory—uncertain, because there was no proof that its soil would sustain—uncertain, because none knew whether the Indian owners of the soil would give a lasting welcome to the white-faced settlers. She was proud of the fact that she was of the Scottish blood of the Bennetts, and of her marital alliance with the Burtches, and it was a pardonable pride, because it ran always to the record of noble lives, rather than to deeds of daring or of grandeur on part of ancestors of her line. So pure her life that her very presence banished thought of impurity. So Christian she lived that oftentimes when at her quiet devotion I fancied on her face the glow which poets picture as that hue which gilds and glorifies the countenance of one in contact with the very Christ. Good-bye, dear other mother, and may your rest in Paradise be sweet."
Edgar Howard. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Mar 18, 1909

Sarah O. Bennett was born near Mt. Pleasant, Jefferson county, Ohio, August 5, 1826. In early youth she became a member of the Presbyterian church, and a long, useful life bears testimony to a loving, efficient, joyous service for the Master. In June, 1853, she was united in marriage to Alexander H. Burtch. Early in 1854 Mr. and Mrs. Burtch came from Ohio to Iowa, locating first in Davenport, and later in the year they journeyed across the state to Glenwood. Next year they crossed the Missouri river and settled in Bellevue, Nebraska.
To Mr. and Mrs. Burtch were born two daughters, now Mrs. T. E. Clark, of Clarinda, and Mrs. Edgar Howard, of Columbus, Nebraska. Mr. Burtch died in November, 1860. On April 15, 1869, Mrs. Burtch was married to Anthony Loranz, of Clarinda, Iowa. Mr. Loranz died August 12, 1881. Mrs. Loranz passed into the great beyond March 10, 1909, from the home of her daughter in Columbus, Nebraska, where she was then visiting.
Mrs. Loranz was a resident of Clarinda for nearly forty years, and she left the impress of her noble character upon all who came in contact with her. She was, prior to her decease, the oldest living member of the First Presbyterian church of Clarinda. She was a charter member of the Woman's Missionary society of the Clarinda church, and it was at her suggestion and by her effort that the society was formed.
, Mrs. Loranz was a woman of strong character. Eighty-two years ago opportunities for the intellectual culture of young women were meager, and circumstances forbade her securing a liberal education; but her strong intellect, keen insight, resourceful tact and good judgment enabled her to deal successfully with the problems of life. When she came into the household of Mr. Loranz and brought her two daughters, and they, with two sons and two daughters of Mr. Loranz, constituted a family of six children; her executive ability and kindness of heart won and held for her the respect and love of all within her home. One of the best elements in her character was her constant, anxious solicitude for the welfare of others, and her utter for-getfulness of self. This quality made friends of all who came in contact with her. Another feature of her life was her never-failing helpfulness, and consequent cheerfulness. This helping spirit made her willing to sever home ties and come with her young husband to a new country, where she knew she must meet and endure the hardships and privations of pioneer life. Transcending all other qualities, her noble life shone always with a sweet effulgance and unfaltering faith and an abiding trust in God.
A dear mother and friend has passed from our sight but she lives and will live in many lives which she helped to make noble and pure. Her reward is sure.

The circumstances of Mrs. Loranz's death and further information in regard to surviving relatives, is taken as follows from the Columbus Telegram: Attempting to ascend the stairway on the Howard home last Sunday evening, Mrs. Sarah B. Loranz, mother of Mrs. Edgar Howard, suffered an attack of vertigo, and, falling backward, was severely injured. She was quite conscious for several hours, and than relapsed into an unconscious state until Wednesday evening, when dissolution ensued. Mrs. Loranz was one of the earliest settlers in Nebraska, coming to Bellevue in 1855. She was twice married. Her first husband was Alexander Burtch, brother of Hon. S. F. Burtch, of Papillion, and Hon. George Burtch, of Bellevue. She was the mother of two children, Mrs. Talton E. Clark, of Clarinda, Iowa, and Mrs. Edgar Howard, of this city. Her first husband died in 1860. Some years afterward his widow, was united in marriage with Mr. Anthony Loranz, of Clarinda, Iowa, and since his death, in 1881, she had made her home with her daughters. Mrs. Loranz was eighty-three years old, and had enjoyed better than usual health for one of her advanced years. A brief service will be conducted at the Howard residence at one o'olock tomorrow afternoon by Rev. D. D. Harkness, of the Presbyterian church. The body will be taken to Clarinda, Iowa, for interment . CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Mar 18, 1909

To them were born fourteen children, seven of whom have preceded her to the life beyond—two in infancy, four in maturity, and one son, Franklin N., gave his life for his country in the civil war. At the time of his enlistment he was his mother's main support, but she bade him go and met the struggle without him, Deceased was one of the early settlers of this county, having emigrated from Ohio in 1853. Four years later the husband and father died. With untiring energy and care the mother kept the family together, enduring many hardships in the new country. But her courage finally overcame all obstacles and she was crowned with peace, and prosperity, and has well earned the welcome, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant." She was a life long and consistent believer in the Universalist faith and grew firmer in the last days, it affording her great, consolation and peace. She suffered greatly but without complaint, waiting patiently for the end which she welcomed as a glad release from pain. Of her immediate family all the surviving members were present except one son, Percy A., who lives in Washington and was unable to reach here. She also leaves two brothers and an aged sister, besides a large circle of grand children and other relatives.

A Sad Accidenl
Last Sunday morning the family ot Jacob Loy rsceived a message from Charles Loy bearing the sad news that their son, Riley, had been killed in a gold mine in Colorado, and that he was bringing his body home. No particulars were given of course, and it was not until Tuesday afternoon that details were learned.
As the deceased was working alone it is impossible to know just how the accident happened. He was drilling overhead and putting in dynamite for blasting, six holes constituting a "shot." He had filled the first hole and had the second half full—shown by the material left—when the explosion occurred. His nearest companion some distance away was out of sight so no mortal knows what caused the explosion. His left side and breast were badly lacerated, the arm being broken and the body otherwise mutilated.
The accident occurred within a few minutes of 4 o'clock last Friday afternoon, the deceased's watch having stopped almost exactly at four. As soon as definite arrangements could be made for bringing the body home Charley wired the news to Frank at this place. Word was also sent to his sister at Eaton, Colo, and his brother at Coin, Iowa, the latter joining them at Enid. Clyde also met them at Enid. Reaching here Tuesday the body was taken to the family residence southeast of town. Yesterday the funeral was held in the Christian church here, conducted by Rev. Geyer, of Watonga, and the remains interred in the cemetery southeast of town, to which place something over forty vehicles made up the funeral train. Deceased was born near Delphos, Kans., thirty-one years ago and was unmarried.~Tne Vanguard, Hitchcock, Okla. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, May 19, 1905

William Loy died at his home Berkeley, Calif, July 26th, after short but violent illness due to hemorrhage of the brain. He was with his family at the time of his death and is survived by Mrs Loy and two children, a married daughter living in New York and a son still at home. Mr Loy was a prominent resident of Clarinda twenty years ago and is remembered by a number of the older settlers here. He was a newspaper man and printer and was interested in a printers' supply business at Berkeley. While in Clarinda he was partner with Newt. Ridenour in the Page County Democrat with which paper he was prominently connected for several years. The news of his death calls up many memories of the early times here in the minds of the older inhabitants of the city and Mr Loy is remembered as a highly respected and potent factor in the life of the city during those times.

William E. Loy. Below we publish an article from the Pacific Unitarian published at San Francisco, which is a tribute to the character of the late William Loy. The life of this man is of especial interest to our readers because of the fact that he spent the years of his boyhood and young manhood in Page county and Clarinda. He came here with his parents in 1853 while he was yet a lad sis years old and lived on a farm near this city. His father later owned the Linderman farm in the west edge of town and the family lived there for several years. It was in the office of t he Herald that William Loy learned the printer's trade and gained his knowledge of printers' supplies which enabled him to conduct the business in which be was successful in later life. The article follows:
"On July 26th, at his residence in Berkeley, there passed from the scene of earthly activity a man of sterling character, well-beloved by those who knew him. William E. Loy, born in Ohio in 1847, came to California in 1874, residing for six years in Chico. Removing to San Francisco in 1880, he engaged in the business of supplies for printers, for a considerable time being associated with the American Type Foundry Company.
"He was a man of quiet, domestic tastes, modest and retiring, but observant and appreciative of all things good. He was never one who on the street corner called attention to self, but his closet and library knew a man of worth. He was scholarly and well-informed and an authority on subjects in which he was interested. Microscopy was one favorite field of research and activity, and in typography his knowledge was wide and his taste unerring. At one time he contributed to the Inland Printer a series of biographical articles on the type-founders and pioneers of printing in the United States which displayed intimate knowledge and just discrimination. Ha was an intimate friend of the late Timothy H. Beardon and assisted him in his production of Sapho and other Greek classics. The many with whom he came in business contact knew little of the inner world in which he lived. His taste, his knowledge of literature, his love of music, his refinement of nature, and his beautiful home life were known only to the few. He was a loyal friend, the soul of honor, a cheerful follower of daily duty, and happy in the enjoyment of his simple, upright life. What better have the gods to give?
"The burial service from his home on Ellsworth Street was conducted by the Masonic order, preceded by a tender private service at which his friend, Rev. Joseph Worcester officiated." CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Nov 27, 1906

Chas. Lyman received a telegram from Berkley, Cal., Friday stating Will Loy died the day before from hemorrhage of the brain, brought on by affliction from paralysis, having suffered two strokes within the past year or so. He was about 62 years of age and the son of Job Loy, one among the first few settlers of this county and for years resided west of this city. For several years he was a partner of Geo. Powers in the publication of the Clarinda Herald in the latter part of the '60s, and soon after went west where he was in the employ of a type foundry until sickness caused his retirement. With his death two generations of the Loys have been nearly wiped out by the fell destroyer, two of his brothers, Martin and Jacob, and a sister, Mrs. Cassie Lyman, followed the parents to the great beyond, leaving only one child, Mrs. Florence Hollis, of Montana, surviving. All these children were early day companions of many now living in this vicinity and it brings thoughtful reflections of passing time, ever changing scenes and conditions, and the uncertainty of life.
