Joseph M. Biggs was born July 11, 1837, died April 14, at 9:50 a. m. 1912, aged 94 [74] years, 9 months and 3 days.
The deceased was the son of Thomas and Mary Biggs and was born in Ohio and was married to Mahala Ansell Dec. 19, 1861. To this union 4 children, 3 of whom survive him, besides a beloved wife, one son and daughter living in Iowa and one daughter in this country, Mrs. Joe Hutchison, who lives 5 ¾ miles south of Fargo; she waited on her father through his entire sickness; they were living close to her parents; Mr. Biggs was a member of the Presbyterian Church since boyhood. He was sick for a month or more; he was taken very suddenly; he talked all through his sickness of going home, wanting to go. We truly sympathise with his dear old companion who is left behind to mourn here last, also with his children and grandchildren for they will miss him but there is one that comforts in time of trouble if we will lean upon him; he says weep with them that weep, and he wept with Martha and Mary when Lazarus was dead. The remains were laid to rest Sunday evening in Fairmount Cemetery with host of friends and neighbors present; funeral services were conducted by W. M. Wilson. Text Heb. 9 chapter and 27 verse.

The Grave
Died,
at 2 o clock a. m., Friday morning, March 11, Beryl, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bowen, aged eight months.
Little Beryl had been a sufferer for
several months with a spinal disease and in spite of the most tender care and
skillful treatment, gradually grew worse until Friday morning, when the spirit,
freed from its earthly dwelling, plumed itself for the flight through the
pearly gates into the presence of the Master. The death occurred at the home of
the grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. M. R. Chandler. The funeral services were held in the Baptist
church at 10:30 a. m., Saturday, conducted by Rev. C. C. Calmer, of the M. E.
Church, Shannon City, assisted by Revs. Ratcliffe and Maine.
The
remains were taken to the Platteville cemetery for interment. One particularly
sad feature of the death was that the father, Frank Bowen, is an invalid, and is in the west seeking a
climate suited to his condition. The sympathy of the community goes out to the
bereaved family.

Albert
Alphonso Childs was born in
Bureau Co., Ill., Nov. 14, 1852. He passed away at his home in Lenox, Iowa,
April 15, 1912, aged 59 years, 5 months and 1 day. His parents were Horace
A. and Elizabeth [Fronks] Childs.
There were nine children in this family; five boys, the deceased and four
brothers, all of whom preceded him in death. The names of these brothers are Henry, Junius, Tibbens, and Horace and four sisters, who survive him. They are Mary Thurston, and Mrs. Foster, of Creston, Ia.; Emily Lewis, of Council Bluffs, Iowa, and Mrs. Martha
Garvin, of Atchison, Kansas.
Mr.
Childs was married to Nellie
J. [ane] Brown, who survives him,
in Wyanet, Ill., Nov. 14, 1873. There were four children in this family, Ray who died when nine months old and the three
surviving, Mrs. Edna Madden and Fred A Childs, of Lenox,
Iowa, and Mrs. Edith McMahan,
of Argentine, Kas. There are four
grandchildren, Imogene and Mildred Madden, Hal Childs and Josephine McMahan. Mr. and Mrs. Childs with their family have resided in Lenox, Ia.,
since the spring of 1891. Pryor to that, after leaving their birth place in
Ill., they moved to Red Oak, Ia., and from there to Griswold, Ia., and from
there to their present home.
For
thirty years, Mr. Childs has
been identified with the business interests of this community. His many
business associates and warm friends will greatly miss him and deeply mourn his
loss. During this time his family has grown to maturity, have married and
established homes of their own, but the parental home has continued to be the
center of family joy and social life. It was in the family circle that Mr.
Childs found his greatest
pleasure in life. He was very happy in his deep affection for his loved ones
and was greatly beloved by all. Many warm and intimate friendships have been
formed during these years, and a large circle of neighbors and friends deeply
mourn in sympathy with the bereaved ones.
Services were conducted
at the home, by Rev. Joe W. Goodsell. The remains were laid to rest in the
Lenox cemetery.

LIFE STORY OF MRS.
A. A. CHILDS
Nellie
Jane Brown was born in Wyanet,
Illinois, on July 5, 1855, and died in Lenox, Iowa on January 28, 1936 at the
age of 80 years, six months and twenty-three days.
On
November 14, 1873, in Wyanet, she was married to A. [lbert] A. [lphonso]
Childs, who preceded her in death
in March 1912. Four children were born to them, of which three survive the
mother, Mrs. W. [illiam] H. Madden of Lenox; Mrs. T. F. McMahon [Edith] of Kansas City, Mo.; and Fred Childs, also of Lenox.
Besides
her children, she is survived by two sisters and one brother, Mrs. L. M.
Blacker of Gardner, Kansas; Mrs.
W. K. Van Camp of Ottumwa, Iowa;
and E. C. Brown of Little
Rock, Arkansas. She also leaves three grandchildren and two great
grandchildren.
After
her marriage Mrs. Childs lived, with her husband, on a farm in Bureau County, Ill. for several years.
Moving to Iowa, then, they settled in the vicinity of Red Oak. In 1881 she came
to Lenox where her husband entered the drug business with his brother.
At
the time of her death, she was a member of the Lenox M. E. church. In addition
she was also a member of the Lenox O. E. S. and the M. F. C., being a charter
member of the latter.
Upon
the death of her mother, in her early life, she took her mother's place helping
to raise her brother and sisters.
Several
days before Christmas in 1934, she had a severe fall, spraining her leg. In
March of 1935, just when she was able to get about again, she tripped on the
steps breaking a leg. Such an injury made it impossible for her to get around
again as she had been in the habit of doing, although it did not affect her
cheerful and happy disposition.
On
Monday evening, in apparently good health, she retired after visiting with
friends and members of her family. A sudden illness of a few minutes duration
and she responded to the call which bid her come up higher.
Funeral
services were held Thursday, January 30, at the Barber Funeral home in charge
of the Rev. Thomas Kelly. Interment was made in Fairview cemetery.

OBITUARY
Jonathan
Irwin Hamilton was born in Preble
County, Ohio, Aug. 15, 1848 and died at his late residence five miles north of
Lenox on Sabbath morning April 21st 1912, at the age of 63 years, 8 months, 6
days. When three years of age his parents removed to Louisa County, Iowa.
The
deceased was united in marriage to Latena Martin January 20th, 1875. One son and one daughter were
born to this union. In February 1883 the family removed to Adams County, which
has been their permanent home.
Mr.
Hamilton had apparently enjoyed
the best of health up to within three months of his death and no one ever
thought that a mortal malady was undermining his strength, until about two
months ago. When he was stricken medical experts were summoned, who pronounced
the difficulty incurable. Although he had gone to a hospital for an operation,
he was ready to return home upon learning the nature of his malady, preferring
to spend the remaining days in his old home amidst familiar surroundings. His
strength gradually failed and relief came to him early Sabbath morning. He knew
that his days would be few and he was prepared to go.
The
funeral services were held at the late home on Wednesday afternoon, Rev. J. C.
Orth officiating, and his body was laid to rest in Fairview cemetery.
Mr.
Hamilton was an industrious and
painstaking farmer, a loving husband and an indulgent father and the many
regret his departure from their midst. Besides the widow and two children he is
survived by six grandchildren, six sisters and three brothers.
The
deceased has been a faithful member of the First Presbyterian Church for many
years.

Obituary
Died
at the home of his son on the Missouri State line seven miles south of Bedford
on Saturday morning Sept. 9th, 1905, Jas. H. [arvey] Roe aged 88 years, 3 months and 13 days. Deceased was
born in the state of Michigan where he resided until the early 50s when he came
to Iowa, settling in Delaware county where he lived until 1868 when he removed
to the home in which he died. He was twice married, the first union being
consummated in 1836; of this marriage ten children were born, six of whom
survive him. His first companion died in 1857. In 1859 he was again married to Anna
Dalton who survives him; of this
union there were three children all living. Besides the members of his own
immediate family, one brother, five sisters and a host of other relatives and
friends mourn his loss.
Brother
Roe embraced the religion of Christ by a public profession of faith and
obedience to the gospel in 1842 and for sixty-three years walked with God by
the illuminations of an unfaltering faith in Christ.
His
hope of a future and immortal blessedness was ever a precious boon to him and
[he] often talked of the glory that was awaiting him over there. For many years
he had been afflicted with a disease of the eyes, which seriously affected his
sight, and for several years has been entirely blind. Notwithstanding the loss
of his sight he enjoyed the association of his friends and was ever happy in
the worshiping assembly of the church and was loved and esteemed by all.
He
was a liberal contributor to and was much interested in the erection of a new
church edifice near his home, and when informed of its completion he expressed
a hope of having the privilege of attending worship at least one time in the
new house before his departure.
On
Saturday morning he ate his usual breakfast meal, walked about the house for a
time, and as a series of meetings were to begin that evening in the new house
he remarked that if he felt as well on next morning he would be able to attend
worship with his congregation in the chapel. He soon walked into his own room
sank down on his bed when his spirit took its flight from the body and Brother
Roe was dead.
It
was the writer's privilege of becoming acquainted with the deceased fifty-two
years ago in Delaware county, Iowa, and have ever recognized in him a devoted
and faithful servant of Christ.
The
funeral services were held in the new chapel near his home on Monday Sept. 11th
at 2 o'clock p. m., conducted by A. J. Rhoades and the writer, was largely
attended after which the remains were laid to rest in the Allison cemetery.
