Acton, Homer Scipio - Homer Scipio Acton, son of John W. and Sarah J. Acton, was born Jan.. 29, 1879, and departed this life April 17, 1910, aged 31 years, 2 months and 23 days.
He leaves his mother and an only sister, Mrs. Katherine Bagnall, to mourn his departure.
Homer was born and raised in this community, was a classical graduate of Amity College in the class of 1901.
Three years ago last August he realized that the dread disease of tuberculosis had fastened itself upon him, and he went to Wyoming in hopes of curing the malady, but after a heroic fight in that climate, he returned here, and in December last, he, with his mother, went to New Mexico in hopes that the climate there would give him the relief desired, but he was too far gone for the climate to do more than aggravate the disease, and was brought back to his home, where he lingered until death claimed him. Smitten down in the prime of young manhood by the great white plague, that has claimed its tens of thousands, is the brief record of his death. A lonely mother has been deprived of a strong arm on which she might have leaned with comfort in her declining years. But so is earth with its sorrows and cruel ways. But with Mrs. Hemans we can only say,
"Leaves have their time to fall, And flowers to wither at the north And stars to set—but all, wind's breath Thou hast all seasons for thine own, O death. Youth and the opening rose
May look like things too glorious for decay And smile at thee—but thou art not of those
That wait the ripened bloom to sieze its prey. Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the north wind's breath And stars to set—but all,
Thou hast all, seasons for thine own, O death."

The funeral was held from the Methodist church on Tuesday, April 19th, the sermon was preached by the pastor, Rev. J. Wesley Stokesbury, from Mark 13:33, and the remains laid to rest in Maple cemetery. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Apr 28, 1910

Akers, Rille Anne Pfander - Rille Anne Pfander was born near Clarinda in Page county, Ia., Sept. 27th, 1889, the first child in the family of Mr. and Mrs. William Pfander. Twelve years ago the family moved to Taylor county to a farm about six miles northeast of Gravity. Sept. 14th, 1911 she was married to Mr. Akers and they went to make their home on the Frank Akers homestead northeast of Gravity. Two children, a boy and a girl, came to bless and brighten this home and are left to comfort the young father in his loss.
About five years ago Mrs. Akers made a confession of her faith in her Christ at the Methodist church in Sharpsburg, but for some reason not known to the writer she did not formally place her membership in the church at that place. Near the middle of Sept. last, Mrs. Akers was taken with an ailment that did not yield to the treatment and care given. Later a complication of troubles developed and when the dread typhoid attacked the worn and weakened body, there was not strength left to resist. All that skill and care and tender love could do were done. Toward the last she was taken to the home of her parents that they might be with her constantly to assist the husband in caring for her but on Sunday, Dec. 6th, the weary body was forced to give up the unequal struggle and she fell asleep.
A loving husband, father, mother, three sisters and three brothers, and the two dear little children are left together with a host of relatives and friends to mourn her passing. It is our prayer that these tears of grief may cleanse the eye of faith that they who are left behind to mourn, may rejoice that though their dear one is no longer with them in the body, "her life is hid with Christ in God."
The funeral was preached from the Christian church of Gravity by Rev. Irving E. Wade, pastor of the Christian church, the music being furnished by friends from Sharpsburg. The large number present, many coming from Sharpsburg and Clarinda, tell more eloquently than words of the true worth of the character and life of our sister.

The body was consigned to its last resting place in the Gravity cemetery

Speaking of his death the Caliente Prospector says: "Benjamin Ethan Allen was born in Iowa forty-seven years ago, and while a young man heeded the call of the west, and settled in Utah, later coming to Nevada as this state began to develop. Altogether he has spent twenty-three years in Utah and Nevada, and neither state ever had a sturdier or more patriotic citizen than Ben Allen, the number of staunch friendships he has formed even since coming to Caliente bearing eloquent testimony to his upright character and manly qualities. To the many men here who have sustained the loss of a true friend, to the sorrowing brothers, to the orphaned daughter, and to the aged father and mother back home, this community extends the sincerest sympathy and the comforting assurance that here in the west, where every man is taken at his intrinsic worth, Ben Allen was judged "every inch a man."

Maynie Warner was born on Jan. 3, 1865 in Mason county, West Va. When she was 14 years old she came with her parents to Page county, la., where she has since resided.
On Jan. 1, 1896, she was united in marriage to Marion Annan to which union one son, Lester, was born.
Mrs. Annan has been a great sufferer for five years during which time she has been lovingly cared for by her husband and son. In November Mrs. Annan left the farm and went to Clarinda to live that she might be near her parents, but Thursday mornng Dec. 12, at 6:30 she passed away.
Mrs. Annan was baptized at the age of 16 years and became a member of the church of God, under the pastorate of Rev. I. Osman and continued a member of that church until it was disbanded.
In July 1918, Mrs. Annan was received into the Yorktown Presbyterian church and retained her membership there till she died.
When told of the death of her brother Earl, who died of the flu, just six weeks ago, she said, "I cannot grieve for Earl for it will not be very long before I shall go to be with him. I am perfectly ready and patiently waiting until the Lord shall call me to be with Him."
She was ever thoughtful of the comfort of others, tho she was suffering. She leaves to mourn their loss, a husband and son, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Perry Warner of Clarinda, seven sisters and one brother—Mrs. Carrie Annan, Mrs. Mary Hankins, Mrs. Glen White, Mrs. Eva Hargin, Mrs. Emma Holmes, Mrs. Laura Snodgrass, Mrs. Delia Srite and Walter Warner.
The funeral was held at the Presbyterian church Saturday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Osman assisted by Rev. Driver. The music was furnished by a trio from Clarinda. Burial was at Polsley. The text was taken from John 11:37, being verbatim, "Could not this man which opened the eyes of the blind, had cause that even this woman should not have died."
People who knew her well say she was an excellent woman. She had all her plans made as she knew she could not live, and she was conscious to the last. It was her request to have the sisters bear the casket, so as one of the sisters, Mrs. Charley Annan, was ill, the other six sisters and two sister-in-laws acted as bearers, the two sister-in-laws being Mrs. Charley Hutchison and Mrs. Harmon Anderson.

Maynie Warner was born on Jan. 13, 1875, in Mason county, West Virginia. When she was fourteen years old she came with her parents to Page county, Iowa, where she has resided ever since. On Jan. 1, 1896, she was united in marriage to Marion Annan, to which union one son, Lester, was born.    
Mrs. Annan has been a great sufferer for five years, during which time she has been lovingly cared for by her devoted husband and son. In November of this year Mr. and Mrs. Annan left the farm, and went to Clarinda, so she might be near her parents, but on Thursday morning at 6:30, she quietly passed away from this world of toil and sorrow to the Home above, where pain and suffering can never enter, and no sorrow can mar the joy eternal and no death come to sever the fellowship of loved ones.
Mrs. Annan was baptised at the age of sixteen years and became a member of the Church of God under the pastorate of Rev. L Osman, and she continued a member of that church until it disbanded. In July of this year Mrs. Annan was received into the fellowship of the Yorktown Presbyterian church, of which she was a member until she passed away from the church Militant to the Church Triumphant.
When told of the death of her brother Earl, who passed away just six weeks ago she said; "I cannot grieve for Earl, for it will not be very long before I shall be with him. I am perfectly ready and patiently waiting until the Lord shall call me to be with him." Her kindly thought for the welfare and comfort of others was very touching, when she was suffering intensely herself. Even just before she passed away she was very anxious for the comfort of her sister who was spending the night with her.
There are many mysteries in this life, and one of the greatest of them is that of pain and suffering, and we wonder what can be the weaning of it all. We shall never be able to understand it on this side of the river, but we can be sure that there is a purpose in it all. By and by we shall be able to understand and see that the Heavenly Father has overruled for good all that seemed harmful. Let us thank Him even thru our tears for the gift of strength and grace to bear pain and for the loving friends who so kindly ministered to the needs of the sufferer.
Mrs. Annan leaves to mourn her loss, the devoted husband, son and grandson, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Perry Warner, seven sisters—Mesdames Carrie Annan, Mary Hankins, Glenna White, Eva Hargin, Emma Holmes, Laura Snodgrass, and Celia Srite, and one brother, Walter Warner.
The funeral was held on Saturday, Dec. 15. A short service was held in the house in Clarinda, and followed by a service in the Yorktown Presbyterian church. The services were conducted by Rev. I.

Mrs. Annan's condition had been serious for some days, but the news came as a severe shock to all. Mrs. Annan leaves a husband, six children and a large number of relatives. Her friends were legion, as all her life had been spent in this community and she was a beautiful character.

The funeral services are being held this afternoon at the home under the direction of Rev. Wm. Stevenson. Mrs. Annan's obituary will appear in full next week.

CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, May 11, 1911

The death of Mrs. Lewis Annan which was announced in the Herald last week, caused a profound wave of genuine sympathy for the bereaved husband and children to sweep over this community. The death was so unexpected and the bereavement so irreparable and sad, that a great many hearts were touched more deeply than is usual in the announcement of a death. Mr. and Mrs. Annan were married April 22, 1891, and their home has all these years been on the farm just north of town. Six children are left to mourn the loss of a devoted mother and the seventh, whose coming into this world resulted in the mother's death, was buried in the same grave with the mother. Of the children the six range in ages from Ethel I., a splendid young woman of nineteen, down to Mary N., of two years. All of the children are strong and will be a great source of comfort to the father who is how called upon to bear a double portion of responsibility in the care of the children. Mrs. Annan's maiden name was Nevada L. Behm, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Behm, and was born August 17, 1873, in Pennslyvania. She came here with her parents in 1877, and the mortal remains are now resting in the "silent city" on the north side of town, while the real wife and mother in spirit dwells with her Maker, but the sweet influence of her life of love and sacrifice rests a benediction with her loved ones.
The funeral services were conducted by Dr. Stevenson, pastor of the Methodist society of which Mrs. Annan was a devoted member. Her brothers, John, of Shenandoah, and Jacob, of St. Louis, were here to attend the funeral, but her brother, Cleve, of Buffalo, N. Y., did not reach here in time. The loss of a devoted and loving daughter is a severe shock to Mr. Wm. Behm, and he also has the sympathy of a very large circle of friends.

Mrs. Lewis Annan died Monday evening about 7 o'clock at her home just north of this city, and the report brought sadness to the entire commuity. April 26th she gave birth to a boy babe and joy reigned supreme in the family with two sons out of seven children. Mrs. Annan appeared to be doing nicely for a time but later began to sink and blood poison caused her untimely death. Miss Nevada L. Behm was born August 17, 1873, in Dauphin, Pa., and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm Behm, removed to this city Nov. 8, 1877, which has since been her home. April 2, 1891, she was united in marriage to Mr Lewis Annan and seven children was the fruits of this union, all of whom survive except the infant babe which passed away Sunday, the day before her death. Mrs. Annan was a pure and noble woman, a devoted companion for her husband and a kind and loving mother. Her whole ambition was to. make her home a home of happiness. Her taking away in the prime of life and apparent health and vigor is a sad blow to the family which have the sympathy of the entire community. Besides the husband she leaves six children, a father and three brothers to mourn her death. The funeral took place today from the home at 3:00 p. m., conducted by Rev. Wm Stevenson, pastor of the M.

M. R. Ansbach's Father Dead.
Mr. M. R. Ansbach's father, Robert Ansbach, died at his home in Bavaria, Germany, last Friday morning, at the advanced age of nearly 103 years old. Had he lived until the 24th of August, he would have been 103 years old. Mr. Ansbach received word of the death of his father on Saturday morning.
The life of Robert Ansbach was indeed a remarkable one for longevity. He never was sick a day in his life, and there was no cause for his death except old age. His father lived to the wonderful age of 105 years, and his wife also came of a long-lived family. So M. R. Ansbach has a remarkable family record and in insurance circles he is regarded as a very safe risk indeed.
Robert Ansbach's wife died many years ago, and he is succeeded by five children, including M. R. Ansbach, who is the only one of the family living in this country. There are two children dead,—one a twin sister of M. R. Ansbach, and the other a son, killed in the Franco-Prussian war. One sister is now living at Frankfort-on-the-Main, one at Berlin, one at Stuttgart, and one at Nuremburg.

He owned a large farm south of town, now  owned by John Groeling, to whom he sold it about twelye years ago.    Since leaving here he has made his home in Oregon and has been successful in his business enterprises.  His death was caused from blood poisoning resulting from a corn which he permitted to develop without taking proper care of it in time to prevent its proving fatal.

Atherton, Ed - Ed Atherton, a lingering victim of the Elmo cyclone of last May, died only last week. It was a wonder he lived as long as he did, considering the mangled condition of his body. His right leg was broken, apiece of plate glass pierced the fleshy part of his thigh, three ribs were broken near his right arm and several more were torn loose from the backbone, and a hole was made in his breast by some object striking him during the storm. In addition to these injuries he was badly  bruised, and naturally his nervous   system underwent a severe shock. He has suffered terribly throughout the entire summer since the accident occurred.

Mrs. F. E. Kelly, whose son Oran died by accidental poisoning in South Dakota a few weeks ago, received $2000 from the Ancient Order of United Workmen, as indemnity on his life. The young man had been in the company but a short time, and had made but one payment on the insurance, but the money was paid promptly when Mrs. Kelly applied for it at Shenandoah. The Shenandoah Sentinel, in speaking of the payment of the money there, says that Mrs. Kelly broke down and wept when she received the money, as she is not in the best of circumstances. The son had been married, but was divorced from his wife, so made his mother his beneficiary. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jul 20, 1900
