Anderson, John - John Anderson, for many years a farmer in Fremont township, and later a resident of Essex, died in that place Thursday, Sept. 13, 1917, at 3:15 p.m., aged 72 years 8 months and 20 days. He was afflicted with creeping paralysis last January, and for three months before his death paralysis rendered him unable to utter an intelligible word. During his last illiness, however, when spoken to he seemed to appreciate what was told him, and at times, when communicated with, his, eyes would brighten. He would make an effort to reply, but could not speak the words that evidently were in his mind. During the last months he managed to make it plain that he wanted his wife by him all the time, and their son, Joe Anderson of this city, says that he does not think his mother was away from his father twenty minutes at a time in those last months. Every other Sunday, in last months of the father's life here, Joe went over from Clarinda to Essex, to see him.
John Anderson was born in Sweden, in 1844.  In that county he was a farmer boy.  He came to the United States in 1844. In that country he was a farm- Andover [?].   In Illinois, in 1869, he married Miss Louisa Carlson, who also was born in Sweden, and who came from that country to Illinois the year before they were wed.   The year after their marriage they   came to Page county, Iowa and located in Fremont township, where Mr. Anderson bought eighty acres of government land, two miles south of where Nyman now is, near the center of the township. Later he bought another eighty acres of land adjoining his first eighty. Mr. Anderson was a modest man as far as taking public office was concerned, but once consented to serve as a school director in his home township. He and his wife were one of the seven families who founded the Swedish Mission church in Fremont township, and of that church he was a member. Living in Fremont township until eleven years ago Mr. and Mrs. Anderson moved to, Essex, where they built a house and in which they made their home. Ten children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Anderson.   The eldest, Oscar, died in infancy in Illinois.   Four of the. nine children born in Page county also are deceased: three sons and a daughter, Aaron, who died in Fremont township in 1902, age 21 years, two sons and a daughter, Josephine, dying in infancy, were among those who preceded the father to the grave.   The five surviving children are Emil Anderson, who is believed to have been the first Swede child born in Page county— born Oct. 12, 1870, and who now lives on a part of the old family homestead; Mrs. A. G. Isaacson of near Yorktown, Joe Anderson of Clarinda, Nate Anderson, living on the old homestead, and Paul Anderson of Fremont township, John Anderson also left surviving relatives as follows:.  Brothers A. P. Anderson and C. V. Anderson, Essex, and August Anderson in Sweden; a sister, Mrs. Peter Bredberg, at New Windsor, Ill.   The funeral was held Sunday at 2 o'clock p.m. at the Swedish Mission church in Essex, conducted by its pastor, Rev. Mr. Johnson assisted by Rev. Mr. Noreen of Stanton.    Burial was at Nyman.   The surviving widow and children were all present at the funeral.

Anderson, John -

ROLL OF THE SILENT PIONEER SWEDISH CITIZEN ANSWERS LAST CALL.
The funeral of John Anderson, father of Joe Anderson and of other useful Page county citizens, was held Sunday afternoon in Essex. The services were conducted by Rev. Johnson, pastor of the Swedish Mission church at Essex, assisted by Rev. Noreen of Stanton. The burial was in the family lot in Nyman cemetery.
John Anderson is the father of the first Swedish boy born in Page county, Emil A. Anderson, who now lives on part of the home place in Fremont township.
Born in Sweden in 1844, he came to America when twenty years of age. during the last year of the Civil War. He stopped first in Illinois, near Andover, in Henry county, staying there for four years, and was married there, but in 1868 brought his bride to Page county, where they have lived ever since, raising a fine family and being among our best Swedish citizens. In 1907 Mr. and Mrs. Anderson retired from the strenuous life on the farm, permitting their sons to run the place. One son Nate Anderson farms most of the home place, the eldest son Emil Anderson, farms a part of it, while Paul Anderson is a prosperous farmer living near Essex, and Joe Anderson is one of our Clarinda druggist. The daughter, Mrs. A. G. Isaacson lives in Yorktown. Mrs. John Anderson survives her husband, and will live in Essex part of the time, besides visiting with her children.
Two brothers of deceased are also living, A. P. Anderson and C. V. Anderson of Essex, besides another brother, August Anderson, and a sister, Mrs. Peter Braberg of New Windsor, Ill. Seventeen grandchildren are also living.
Mr. Anderson was more than 72 years of age when overtaken by death, which was caused by a creeping paralysis which rendered him incapable of speech during nine months past. His wife and daughter and one son, Joe, were at his bedside when he passed away, at his home in Essex. He was a devoted member of the Swedish Mission church, having been a charter. member of the church near Nyman.

Anderson, John "Old Man" Found Dead in Bed
John ("old man") Anderson was found yesterday by his son, Oscar, dead in bed at his home in Binn's Grove, one and one half miles northwest of Nyman.
Mr. Anderson, who is rather eccentric, has lived alone in a little home in Binn's Grove for about ten years. His son cared for him, bringing him supplies and attending to his few wants, but during the past few days has been absent with a steam thresher, returning yesterday morning to see if there was anything his father needed. He was shocked to find the old gentleman lying upon his bed a corpse. He may have been dead a day or two. There was nothing to indicate that he had died other than a natural death. Mr. Anderson was about seventy-five years old. He was much respected by his neighbors, who showed him whatever attention he would permit, but he preferred solitude, and upon his only son devolved the task of attending to his needs. He has been in feeble health for some time, but no one suspected his end was so near. A daughter, Mrs. Samuelson, living in Council Bluffs, and his son, Oscar, are his only near relatives, his wife having been dead a number of years.
Justice Froberg went up to examine the body and decided that no inguest was necessary.

Essex Independent, July 27: Mabel Cecilia Ekeroth, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Ekeroth was born in Fremont township, Page county, Iowa, Nov. 8, 1888, moved with her parents to Clarinda where she resided six years, came to Essex in 1895. She was confirmed in the Swedish Lutheran church here in 1903, graduated from the Essex high school in 1905, attended Bethany college, Conservatory of Music, in 1905-7, active and faithful member of the Lutheran church, served as organist five years, president of the Martha society a number of years. Married June 20, 1912 to Rev. George N. Anderson of Templeton, Calif., resided at Topeka, Kan., four years, moved to Fresno, Calif., with family a year ago, returned to Essex about a month ago. Passed away at Denver, Colo., July 20, aged 28 years 8 months and 12 days. She is mourned by her husband, two children, Klemons Leroy and Dorothea Maria, father and mother, sister and brother, besides a large circle of relatives and friends. Short services were held at her paternal home on Tuesday at 10 a.m., and at 10:30 the services were held in the Swedish Lutheran church, where many friends had assembled to pay a final tribute to the departed one. Rev. J. A. Holmen, who for many years had been her pastor, officiated. His text was from John xiv, 1-6 (Extracts from sermon,
At home with Jesus, saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.) The obituary as in the English language, and contained in part, the following beautiful and appropriate tribute: "It was a pleasure to be her pastor, she was a leader, made friends everywhere, always the same, sincerity, no duplicity, frankness, simplicity, loved her home, her church, and her Savior. Thought of her little children to the last. The words 'Jesus help me, were among the last she uttered:" The many beautiful flowers spoke their silent message of the high regard in which she was held. Miss Florence Kampe presided at the pipe organ. A duet, "At Home There Is Rest," was rendered by Miss Esther Swanson and John Hagglund: solo, "One Sweely Solemn Thought," by Mrs. Seth Bergren; solo, "Safe in the Arms of Jesus," by Miss Linnea Swanson. The pallbearers were G. J. Liljedahl, John G. E. Carlson, M. E. Sar, Seth Bergren, Dolph Hanson and M. L. Sederberg. The burial was in the Essex cemetery. The sorrowing relatives have the sympathy of a broad circle of friends in their bereavement. And thus we have recorded the closing chapter in life of another friend. Mabel has gone on the long journey to return no more. When the tidings were received announcing her death a feeling of sadness passed over the town and community. Only a few days before she had gone to Denver and her many friends hoped that she would improve in health and eventually return better or well. She was a faithful wife, loving mother, obedient daughter, affectionate sister and faithful friend. She had many good qualities. Many friends will cherish her memory with sacred recollections.

Henry Annan died Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the home of his son, George Annan, near Yorktown, at the ripe old age of 77 years, 7 months and 13 days. For the past two months Uncle Henry had been very poorly from a complication of ailments which weighed heavily on his advanced years, the greater part of the time confining him to his bed. Mr. Annan was a native of the state of Maryland and was born Aug. 28, 1835. The family removed from there to Ohio and later to Jackson county, Ind., where he resided until 1855, coming to Page county June 2 that year with his brother, John Annan and other friends. This country was then in its infancy, and a wild and broad expanse of prairie. Soon after arriving he pre-empted a quarter section of land southwest of this city which lie developed into a fine farm. In 1857 he was united in marriage to Miss Louisa McNutt and nine children were born to them, six boys and three girls, all of whom except one survive him. By his thrift and good management he became one of the most properous farmers in the county having accumulated 1,155 acres of choice land which was free of emeumbrance long before his death. Many were the hardships himself and family endured in the early days with the pioneer settlers but he was always equal to any emergency that confronted him. No more kind hearted or generous man ever lived than Uncle Henry and his friends numbered to the extent of his acquaintance. His passing away is deeply regretted by the entire community.

John Annan was born in Ohio, Feb. 22, 1839, and died at his residence in North Clarinda March 25, 1917, aged 78 years 1 month and 3 days.   At the age of 5 years he moved to Brownstown, Ind., where his earliest boyhood was spent and where he acquired the rudimentary log cabin education of those days.    In the spring of 1855, when 16 years of age, his father and mother decided  to try their fortune in Iowa, and on April 26 of that year, in company with them, a brother and three sisters, the journey was begun with ox teams and wagons.   The party arrived in Page county on June 2, where Mr. Annan has lived continously since that time.    Life was begun here in a log cabin not far from Clarinda, and the first prairie that Mr. Annan broke was the southwest part of town, known as the Ribble addition. On Jan.   8,  1863,   he  was  married  to  Anna Sophia Myers, whose death occurred Feb. 21 1914. Mr. Annan is the last survivor of his family, but leaves surviving him four sons, Lewis, Henry, George and William, all of Clarinda;  ten grandchildren, and  seven   great-grandchildren,   also   of this vicinity.    Early in life Mr.  Annan united with the Lutheran church.  He was a quite patient, and obedient in his last suffering.   Retaining consciousness until the very last few hours, he made final preparations for the end which he realized must come."

After an illness of several months duration from cancer of the stomach, John Annan, one of Page County's earliest settlers, as well as one of its wealthiest citizens, passed away from this life Sunday afternoon at his home on North Fifteenth St.
The last weeks of Mr. Annan's illness were ones of pain and weakness for the nature of his disease made it impossible for him to be without pain, except when relieved by opiates, or to take other than liquid diet. In all of this severe illness, he was patient and cheerful, meeting the friends who called to see him with a smile: The end came quietly as his sons were watching at his bedside and so suddenly, that to those who had known since morning that the sufferer could not last through the day, it was unexpected.
Mr. Annan was, a person well known over the greater part of Page county.     He had been a member of the Masonic lodge for fifty years besides carrying a membership card in other fraternal organizations. While young, he became a member of the German Lutheran church.     He was noted for his kindness of heart and his willingness to help those in need or in trouble.
Mr. Annan was born in Hamilton Co., Ohio, Feb. 22, 1839. When but a child his parents moved to 'Jackson Co., Ind. Here they resided until 1855, when they came to Iowa, settling in Page County.
Mr. Annan has told his friends how the first night spent in the open country was passed near the bridge north of this city between the homes of A. Linebaugh and Mr. Annan's son, Lewis Annan. The land lying to the north and east of that camp, later on became his property.
The Annan family settled on land south of Clarinda in Harlan township which was for years the home of William Annan, Mr Annan's youngest son.
Mr. Annan was given a common school education. In December, 1862, he was married to Miss Annie
Myers, a native of Bartholomen Co., Ind.      Four sons, Lewis, Henry, George and William were born to this union, all of whom survive their parents.

The home of Mr. and Mrs. Annan was for the greater part of their life on the farm lying northeast of this city about two miles, upon which Mr. and Mrs. Dale Annan are now living. About eighteen years ago, they moved from the old home place to the north of this city now owned by John B. Lawson. Nine years afterward, becoming tired of the heavy work attending upon farm life, they sold the farm to Mr. Lawson and purchased the property which has since been Mr. Annan's home. Mrs. Annan passed away four years ago and since her death George Annan and family have lived with Mr. Annan helping to cheer his later years. Besides the four living sons, he is survived by a number of grand children.
Mr. Annan was the possessor of much of this world's goods, most of his wealth consisting of rich Page county land.
He was a life long Democrat and even interested in the doings of the party and the people at large.
The funeral was held from his late home Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock conducted by Rev. D. S. Curry It was largely attended, this fact testifying to the number of friends and acquaintances which the deceased possessed. A quartette composed of W. C. Cramer, Otis Lucas, Mrs. Leo Humphrey and Miss Edith Amen, accompanied by Lester Milligan, furnished music. The floral tributes were beautiful and profuse.
The Masonic lodge furnished the pall bearers, Frank Pennington, M. B. Walker, Thos Milhone, I. N. Milhone, Hugh Miller, George Cline, and Alex Shum, and conducted the services at the grave which is located in our city cemetery overlooking the broad acres which the deceased delighted in caring for in his days of health and strength.

Annan, Sophia Myers - Mrs. John Annan died Saturday evening at 7 o'clock at the family home on North 15th streef, following a slight stroke of paralysis last Thursday, aged 70 years and 13 days. For several years Mrs. Annan had been in feeble health but her death was a surprise to all. Miss Sophia Myers, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Myers,  was born in Bartholomew county, Indiana, Feb. 8,1844, and in 1861 removed with the family to this county.   Her mother died when she was but two years of age.   Jan. 8, 1863, she was united in marriage to Mr. John Annan and both followed life on the farm up to about four years ago, when they retired and moved to this city, occupying a comfortable and elegant home in the heart of Clarinda. Four children were the fruits of this union, namely, Lewis,  Henry, George and William, all of whom with her husband survive her. In the death of Mrs. Annan, Clarinda and Page county lose one of our pioneer  settlers and highly esteemed citizens.    As a wife and mother she might well be called a perfect model, ever dutiful to her husband and kind and affectionate to her beloved children.   To her industry and: frugality all through life was due in a great measure the success of Mr. Annan in his farming operations covering nearly forty years, and she enjoyed with him the satisfaction of seeing land estate grow and increase until it now exceeds over 1300 acres of Page county's richest soil.   Now this good old lady has gone to reap her reward for the noble deeds done in this life.   The funeral was held Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the home, conducted by Rev. W. C. Williamson, pastor of the U.

Arnold, Al and J.H. Brewer

Horrible Mine Disaster
Al Arnold and J. H. Brewer were instantly hurled into eternity about 2 o'clock Friday afternoon without a moments warning, by the caving in of the roof to the coal mine of Van Arsdol, operated by Pearson & Maley about a mile and a half southwest of this city. While at work in their narrow cell, which was about two feet high and compelled the men to lay on their sides to work with their picks, there came a crash and a section of the slate roof about forty feet in length, five feet in width and nearly two feet in thickness, dropped and caught the two men while busily at work in room No. 3. There were about twenty-five men at work in the mine at the time in adjoining rooms and all rushed to learn the cause of the unusual noise. Word was sent to the top of the shaft and work was commenced to clear away the debris as repeated calls brought no answer from the imprisoned victims. Shortly after four o'clock the body of Al Arnold was taken out. It seems that he was lying ou his back at the time and was crushed flat. Jack Brewer's body was discovered about an hour later. It appears that he was caught while on his side and also crushed into a small space. It is said the hands of the men were grasping the handles of their picks as the ponderous weight of the rock and earth struck them, so it is probable that death came iustantaneous and they were without suffering. They were laying about eight feet apart. It is said the miners in the adjoining room thought they heard a feeble groan soon after the crash. Truly it is a sad and awful accident. The cause of the cave-in is said to be due to the fact that they had carelessly neglected to prop up the roof after making the excavation and no blame attaches to any one else. Such are the mining laws and the work is usually watched with care for self preservation. Jack Brewer is an old miner but Al Arnold had not worked at it but a few weeks. The men both leave families, Mr. Arnold leaving a wife and two minor daughters, and Mr. Brewer a wife and three grown sous. They were both poor men depending upon their daily labor for maintenance. It is indeed a horrible affair and will surely prove a warning to others working in these dangerous places.   The funeral was held Monday at 2 p.m., from the Christian church, joint services being
conducted by Kev. W. T. Fisher and Rev J. W. Able in the presence of a large concourse of people.

PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Feb 27, 1908

Arnold, Charles E. - In the fall of 1896 the Clarinda school board secured from Red Oak a talented young man named Charles E. Arnold as one of the instructors in the high school here. He came, unassuming, modest, good-natured,—did his work in a thorough and skillful manner, won his way into the hearts of the high school boys by his athletic prowess and leadership, proved his Christian manhood by his work in the church and his good influence over his students, attended strictly to his own business, smiled and joked his way into the hearts of the whole community, and when the war with Spain broke out in 1897, he proved his patriotism by resigning his position in the schools and enlisting in Company M, of the 51st Iowa, as a private soldier. He left behind him a sweetheart, one of the talented and popular young ladies of Clarinda, and when he returned from the war, two years later, with a clean record for bravery and efficient service, they were married,—Charles Arnold and Myrtle Stillians, on January 10, 1900.
He continued his work in the high school, as principal, for a few years, and in 1903 accepted a position with the rapidly growing Clarinda Poultry, Butter & Egg Co., in which he saw more chance for rapid advancement. He rose in the employ of that company until he had charge of all their lecture and exploitation work, and was known all over southern Iowa.
Ever since his return from the Philippines, where he was in the hospital for a long time with typhoid fever, he has not been as strong as before; and during the last year or two has not been well. He kept at his work, however, until the last week of April of this year, when he was forced to give up and go to bed. Then it was realized by his loved ones that it was to be a fight for his life, for he rapidly grew weaker, until it was thought that he could not possibly last more than a few days. His stomach did not do its work properly, and peritonitis set in, and an operation became imperative, but he was too weak to stand it. Then it was that his splendid nerve and will power showed itself. He made up his mind to make a fight for his life, and almost from sheer determination he began to improve, rising slowly from the very jaws of death until he was strong enough to endure the operation. A relapse hurried the time set for the work of the surgeons, but they did their work well, and his peritonitis was checked, and from apparently a second death bed he fought his way back toward health and life. But it was a losing fight. His poor, pain-racked body, in which dwelt such a resolute spirit, could not respond to the last appeal, and after seemingly improving after the operation, under the best of medical assistance, and living on mere hope and resolution from July 10th, the date of the operation, his body succumbed and the brave spirit took its flight on last Sunday morning, August 1st, at 4:15 o'clock.
An autopsy revealed the presence of an abscess on the liver, which made it impossible for him to have recovered, and. made it all the more marvelous that he should have done as well as he did in his fight.
Funeral services were held at his home, at the Mrs. Stillians residence, on south Sixteenth street, on Tuesday afternoon at three o'clock, conducted by his pastor, Rev. Robert A. Cameron, of the Presbyterian church, and Rev. J. W. Abel, of the Methodist church.
Their texts were appropriate: "I have fought a good fight," and "He was a good man." Music for the services was furnished by a male quartet composed of Messrs. Salisbury, Spry, Lane and Stirk, and members of the 55th Regimental Band, the same old band which he followed in the Philippine Campaign, played a selection at the services and sorrowfully sounded "Taps" over his grave, according to the soldier custom. Lavish offerings of flowers from friends far and near were taken care of by the girls of the Sigma Delta Phi Club, of which Mrs. Arnold was a member. The pall bearers were W. L. Lundy, W. W. Richardson, Dr. Powers, Dr. Witte, Dr. Matthews and Dr. Clark. The offices of the Clarinda Poultry Co. were closed from two to four o'clock, in deference to the memory of their valued employee. The services at the grave were in charge of his brother Masons, of Nodaway Lodge No. 140. Five of the Company M boys from Red Oak,—J. M. Halbert, Lee Blue, J. E. Logan, O. C. Hawkins and Guy M. Briggs, —were here to attend the funeral.
Charles E. Arnold was born at Grinnell, Iowa, on August 31, 1868, to Rev. and Mrs. S. A. Arnold, his father being a Congregational minister.
Charles was educated at Grinnell, graduating from Iowa College there in 1894, and going immediately to Red Oak, to take a position in the high school. From there he came to Clarinda, as recorded before.           He leaves, besides his loving [wife, her] mother, Mrs. Stillians [                      r], whose home
is in Vancouver, Wash., and two sisters and four brothers, Mrs. W. W. Rodwell, until recently of the Philippines, and Mrs. Mabel Epperson, H. W. Arnold, Dr. Wm. Arnold, Judson Arnold and Frank Arnold, all of Vancouver.
His mother was with him during two weeks of his last illness, but was unable to stay longer than last Monday, and left him, seemingly improving slowly, though in her heart she bade him goodbye when she left.
Of Charlie Arnold, known to everyone in Clarinda and to most of the business men in southwestern Iowa, too much cannot be said in praise of his high character and his good life on earth. Stricken down in the prime of life, surrounded with loved ones, with a happy home and a prospect of greater deeds ahead in his business career, with not an enemy to speak ill of him, —it would seem as if he would have fretted and grieved at the grim thought of having to give it all up and launch out into eternity. But he smiled to the last, thinking more of comforting his dear ones and keeping them from sorrowing than of his own pain and disappointment in having to give up life. A sweeter memory no wife ever had to comfort her in the long days to come than Myrtle Arnold has of her beloved husband. Always kind always thoughtful, not only to his own family, but to everyone. It is not often that grief is so general and sympathy so unanimous as in his case. His cheerful nature will be missed in business, social and church circles, and his influence for good in Clarinda will live for long years after him. As the text says, truly, "He was a good man," and "He fought a good fight, he has kept the faith, and henceforth there is laid up for him a crown of righteousness."

Arnold, S.A. - C. E. Arnold received a telegram Saturday, bringing the sad news of the death of his father, Rev. S. A. Arnold, of Portland, Oregon, at nine o'clock Friday night, Feb. 15. Rev. Arnold had long been ill, and his son, had just returned to his home here Tuesday night, after a visit to Portland.

He is survived by his wife, five sons and a daughter. Three of the sons, H. W., Dr. Wm., and Frank Arnold live at Portland; Judson lives at Seattle, and C. E. Arnold lives in this city.

Atkinson, Arthur - Arthur Atkinson, an uncle of Mrs. C. W. Duke of Clarinda, died suddenly at Villisca, Tuesday.    Mr. and Mrs. Duke went to Villisca this morning, to attend the funeral.   The Villisca Review-Letter of April 5 Says:
Tuesday morning   Villisca people were shocked to learn that Arthur Atkinson had died, very suddenly about 7:30 as he was going north on Third avenue.   He fell, apparently from a sudden attack of heart trouble, and was found in a few minutes by residents on Third avenue.   He was lying in the street just at the alley crossing between the W. H. Bell home and the Harold Nordyke home.   Two cans of paint which he was carrying, lay there near him.  The only injury to his body was from the fall, when he apparently struck his face on the walk. Mr. Atkinson, left his home shortly after 7 o'clock.  He had eaten a hearty breakfast and was apparently as well as usual.   During the night he had been rather restless but little was thought of that as he often had such trouble.   After doing a few odd jobs about the house he had left for the J.M. Cowgill home where he had painted the day before and where he expected to work Tuesday.   It was while enroute to the Cowgill home that he fell, never to draw another breath.  He was taken to the W. H. Bell home until the undertaker came and took the body to the residence.   Mr. Atkinson was a man seventy-two years of age.  He had lived in Villisca for a number of years and at one time was an active business man in this city.   He once conducted a grocery on the south side of the square and at one time was proprietor of the Fair, once located where the Arbuckle store now is.   Of late year, however, he has followed the painting and paper hanging trade.
When The Review-Letter was placed on the press nothing definite had been planned in regard to the funeral. The family await the arrival today of two sisters, the lasses Emma and Ella Atkinson of Quincy, Ill., when details will be announced.
