On August 13th, 1878, he was joined in marriage to Miss Susan Jewel, who after almost thirty years of faithful devotion to him, still remains to mourn the loss of the one she loved. To this union ten children were born, nine of whom are living: Mrs. Lizzie Erickson, of Sciola, la.; Mrs. Mannie Belding, of Northboro, la.; Mrs. Ollie Swanson, Manilla, S. D., and Jennie, Ralph, Arthur, Frank, Mabel and Bessie, who reside here.   Francis died in infancy.
Brother Mead was converted and united with the Free Methodist church in 1886 and has remained faithful to God and the church until death came.
About eight years age his health began to fail and in spite of all that loving hands could do, he gradually declined in health. During all his sickness his faithful companion was ever near with unwearied patience to supply his need. Bro. Mead took his affliction very cheerfully and never complained of his lot. He was more than reconciled to die, he wanted to be with Christ.

THINK DEATH ACCIDENTAL
Coroner's Jury Hold That Ralph Meads Came to His Death by Accidentally Failing From a Loaded Wagon.
Just how Ralph Meads came to his death Tuesday night will probably never be known, but the coroner's jury consisting of Brady Ustick, W, E. Morledge and Ralph Rolland after an inquest extending through part of the afternoon yesterday and two or three hours last night, came to the conclusion that

Ralph Meads came to his [death] by accidentally falling from a loaded wagon." At the inquest the details of the accident as fully as they can be known, were indicated by the testimony of the witnesses familiar with the circumstances surrounding the death of the young man. Ralph Meads, the deceased, was the son of the late Henry Meads, formerly of Clarinda and one time a resident of Braddyville. His mother, now Mrs. Eli Meads, still resides in Clarinda. Ralph, with his wife, step-daughter and two children of his own, four and one years of age respectively, have been living on the Westapher place east of Clarinda two or three miles.
Tuesday morning about nine or ten o'clock Ralph took his team and wagon and went to the sawmill on the Sam Pitman farm some distance east of his home with some good sized hickory poles, to be sawed into coupling poles for his wagon. On reaching the mill he found the mill men, Dillinger, Lister and Owen, had just sharpened their saw and they requested him to leave the hickory till evening as they did not want to dull their saw on it right at the beginning of the day's work. Meads therefore left the mill and went home with his wagon empty. This much is the testimony of John Brummett who was also at the mill that morning.
In the late afternoon Meads returned to the mill to get the coupling poles. Got them all right, and loaded them and started home   about six o'clock as near as the circumstances and testimony will show. The testimony of an old Mr. Palmer, an old sawmill man who works about the mill, and who was brought to Clarinda himself in a drunken condition yesterday morning and lodged in jail, was to the effect that at five or half past, he remembered, of seeing Lister and Meads taking Dillinger to the sawmill shanty,
Dillinger being too drank to walk, but farther than that he knew nothing, other than that he remembers of saying to Owen; ''They're pretty, drunk," evidently referring to Meads, Dillinger and Lister.
The next that was known of Meads was when his dead body was found in the road near Roy Herren's place at 11:30 by Walter Mitchell. Mrs. Meads becoming alarmed had called Mr. Mitchell and had started him out with a lantern along the road to look for Mr. Mead or his team. Meads was lying face downward on a glare of ice in the road twenty steps west of the little bridge near the Herren place. His team and wagon were found 185 steps west of the bridge. The team had wandered from the road, the wagon had run into a small ditch and there they were stalled. Meads cap was found lying upon the load of slabs and lumber where he had been riding. The unfortunate man's face was badly contused where he had struck upon the hard ice covering the road at that point. His body was cold when found, but not yet rigid. The warmth of the body had melted into the ice, an impression of itself, which can still be seen in the road. Evidently he did not make a struggle after he fell. Yet there was not a wound upon his face or body that would in the opinion of Dr. Parriott or the jury have been fatal. How he died no one will ever know.
Roy Herren was awakened at 11:30 by his dogs barking and getting up he saw Mr. Mitchell carrying the lantern along the road and he went to his assistance, meeting him as he returned after finding the body. After another inspection of the body together, the two men returned to Herren's home and from that point communicated with Sheriff McCord and County attorney Fischer and according to instructions and with the help of other neighbors brought the body to Mr. Oates' undertaking rooms where the inquest was held yesterday.
The funeral will be held at the Christian church this afternoon. [PAPER?]

Ralph Meads was found dead by the roadside east of Roy Herron's farm over east of the city, about midnight Tuesday night. He was a renter living on the S. Westapher farm and went with his team for a load of lumber at a sawmill on Sam Pitman's farm, and left there about dusk. Not returning home his wife became alarmed and notified neighbors who started out in search of him, with the above result. It is supposed that he was thrown from the load of lumber by one of the wheels dropping in a "chuck-hole" before striking the plank of a small culvert, and struck the frozen ground on the side of his head and face with sufficient force to produce death instantly, as he apparently made no struggle. The team went a short distance and stuck in a mud hole. The remains were taken home, and shortly brought to C. H. Oates undertaking rooms for a coroner's inquest. He is said to have been about 28 years of age and an industrious and kind hearted man. His weight was about 200 pounds which added materially to the force of his fall. He leaves a wife and three small children. Mrs. Meads is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Keller and has had a sad experience, as her first husband, Fred Barchus, was killed in the explosion of the ill-fated battleship Bennington a few years ago on the Pacific coast, and the eldest child is the fruit of this union. At the coroner's inquest yesterday afternoon the jury returned a verdict that Mr. Meads met death by accident. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Feb 3, 1910

Mrs. Ralph Meads, whose husband was killed by falling from a load of lumber he was hauling home on Tuesday night of last week, was made the recipient of a purse of $264 yesterday, which Henry Annan and Roy Herren had collected from people in sympathy with her misfortune.   She was left with three small children, in moderate circumstances, and this will surely be very acceptable to her, although it is said she was very reluctant about accepting it.

Accidental Shooting Kills Boy Eleven Years of Age
Roy Meads Shot Through the Heart by Accidental Discharge of Gun, at Puryear Home on E. State Street.
The Chas. Williams home has been saddened by the loss of their son, Roy Meade, who died early Monday morning as the result of the acidently discharging of a rifle, which he was handling.
Mr. and Mrs. Williams live on the Bert Osborn place four miles northeast of Clarinda, and Roy had stayed Saturday evening, as was his usual custom, with his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Keller at 16th and Nodaway Streets. Missing a chance to ride home Sunday morning about 11:30 with Johnny Middaugh, he telephoned to his mother for permission to stay the night in town intending to come back in the morning with his teacher, Mrs. Zora Duncan, who teaches the Spring Hill school which he attended.
He staid Sunday night at the Mrs. W. H. Puryear home at 6th and State Sts. Mrs. Puryear is employed at the State Hospital as night watch, and consequently was not home with her children, who include Gilles aged 13, Richard aged 10, and Laveneth aged 3.
Mrs. Puryear has had some trouble with someone stealing coal from her premises, and for that purpose kept a Winchester, 16 shot, 22 caliber Repeater, in the home. Early in the morning, near five o'­clock, the children heard some suspicious noises, and Roy got up alone, saying that he knew how to use the gun. In some way, the rifle was discharged, the bullet entering the body just above the heart, causing almost instant death. Gilles Puryear, hearing the shot, rose just in time to catch him as he was falling, laid him on the bed, and ran to the Gerald Sparks home on the corner north, telling the Sparks, family of the tragedy. Mr. Sparks promptly telephoned Mr. Williams, who notified Coroner Harmon, and Arthur Keller, uncle of Roy's. Mr. Keller went out to the Williams home in his car, and together with the Coroner went to the Puryear home. Investigation of the matter showed the above facts.
The body was removed to the Harmon Funeral Home, where it remained until taken to the Methodist Church Tuesday afternoon.      CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Nov 24, 1921

"The memory of the just is blessed"-Such a memory of our departed and loved ones is a sweet and fragrant incense, a joy unexpressible to the living, a balm that only can assuage and solace our grief, when death bereaves us of friends, our nearest and dearest.
Mrs. Merrill was of a kindly, Christian spirit and had full faith in the divine promise, and was loved by all who knew her. She was a woman of more than ordinary mind, bearing her afflictions with patience and fortitude, retaining her intellect almost wholly unimpaired to the end. She was a tender and sunny tempered woman who let the light of good cheer, and charity into her heart where it made a fertile spot, where the flowers of love and forbearance bloomed and blossomed, fragrantly. She was one of whom it can truly be said "none knew her but to love her, none named her but to revere." But she is gone, her patient but cheerful smile and greeting no longer awaits us. "After life's fitful fever she is now at rest." Her memory is a shining star which will never wane in the hearts of those nearest and dearest to her, and the circle of friends who had long known her.
Funeral services were conducted this morning from the home of her sister, Mrs. E. A. FitzHenry, Rev. C. E. Fulmer having charge. A large assembly of neighbors testified their love and esteem by their presence. The floral tributes were beautiful in design and generous in number.
