Laid To Rest
The funeral of Frank [Edward], the little son of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Wyckoff, occurred at the home in North Bedford at 2 p. m., Thursday. The attendance was very large and the floral offerings extremely beautiful. The rural carriers, the band and the post office employees sent three lovely floral pieces, and besides there were many other flowers sent to the bereaved parents as evidence of the sincere sympathy that was felt for them at the time of their great sorrow.
The sermon was preached by Rev. Thompson and it was a most comforting and touching address to the heartbroken parents who were mourning the loss of their only child.

All Are Gone
Frank Edward, the little son of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Wyckoff, died Tuesday morning at 10 oÕclock, age 21 months.
The little babe had been ill for several weeks with catarrhal pneumonia, and for days before the end came, its condition was critical. However, at times it rallied, bringing sweet hopes to the loving anxious parents, and on Tuesday its condition was such that the father felt safe to leave and attend to his regular avocation as rural carrier; when the summons came, he had the added sorrow of not being by the side of his little one.
Three times have these grief stricken parents been called upon to bear this greatest sorrow that can come to father and mother. Three children have come to make happy their home, to make life brighter, to make their home circle complete and more precious, and each, after tarrying a little while have gone back to Him who gave them. A few years ago, their first-born was called, and only a few weeks ago, they followed to the grave all that was mortal of another precious babe. Frank was the only one left to them and as his little body is laid away, it seems to his loving parents as though a pall of eternal night had fallen, shutting out all sunshine and happiness from their lives. In their anguish they have the most heartfelt sympathy of all, but mere words of earthly friends can do little to assuage a pain and sorrow as deep as theirs. Their consolation and hope must come from a higher source. Pure and undefiled, the soul of their little one has answered the call of Him who said ÒSuffer little children to come unto Me,Ó and if the motherÕs heart must mourn in life for her baby boy, when the dark river is crossed, He will give her full recompense by an eternity with all her babies near.
The funeral will occur at 2 oÕclock this afternoon (Thursday) at the home in North Bedford, conducted by Rev. Thompson.

Death of Little Frank Wyckoff
Tuesday forenoon about 10 o'clock, the angel of death again made its appearance at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bert C. Wyckoff and called home their little treasure, Frank Edwin, aged just one year and nine months.
The little fellow has been ill for several weeks with infant ailments, and death was the result of pleuro-pneumonia. The funeral will be held from the home this afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Wm. B. Thompson and burial will occur in Bedford cemetery.
This comes as an especially severe blow to the loving young parents, as it was but a few weeks ago they were called upon to mourn the death of an infant daughter. The heartfelt sympathy of a wide circle of friends is extended to these young people in their serious bereavement.

On September 1, 1862, at the age of 20 years, he enlisted in Co. F., Fifty-Ninth Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry at Owensville Post Office, now New Boston, Ohio. His company became a part of the Army of the Cumberland and participated in the battle at Stone River, Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge and Chattanooga, and he was also in the Atlanta campaign and was present when Jonesboro and Atlanta were taken. He served until the end of the war and was honorably discharged at Nashville, Tennessee, June 29, 1865, being a sergeant in Co. I of the same regiment at the time of his discharge.
After the war he remained in Ohio two or three years, later spending two years in Knox County, Illinois. In 1871 he came to Iowa and purchased a farm in Union county, near Creston, which he sold some five years later and purchased a farm near Gay Center in 1877, the year before his marriage, where he resided until the spring of 1903 when he moved to Blockton where the remainder of his life was spent.
March 13, 1878, he was united in marriage to Mary J. [ane] Thompson near Batavia, Clermont County, Ohio. To this union four children were born—Harry T. [hompson] Avey, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Joseph A. [llen] Avey and Homer V. [ance] Avey, of near Gay Center, and Mrs. [Mary] Luella Nulph, of Blockton.
He is survived by his wife, who is an invalid; the four children, eleven grandchildren—Thompson and Charles Warner Avey, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Rev.

Avey, of Olive Branch, Ohio; George Avey, of Sacramento, California; Charles Avey, of Delhi, Ohio, and Mrs. George Curry, of New Richmond, Ohio.
Mr. Avey united with the Methodist Episcopal church a number of years ago and was a regular attendant at its services until prevented by the infirmities of age. Many tributes have been paid to his life by those who have known him for many years—some for half a century. He was as loyal a friend as man ever had. He was true as steel in every relation of life, courteous, kind, considerate. He leaves his children "a goodly heritage"—a good name, and the record of a well - spent life.
Funeral services were held at the Methodist Church Thursday afternoon at 2:30, conducted by Rev. J. H. Bennett. Interment was made in Rose Hill cemetery.

Pioneer Man Succumbs
D. E. Pace Was Resident of New Market Since 1857
Funeral services for Daniel E. [lvin] Pace were held Thursday afternoon at the family residence, conducted by Rev. Charles Arnold, who was assisted by Rev. C. K. Shackleford. The obituary was read by Mrs. Ursa [Pace] Foster. Burial was made at Memory cemetery.
Daniel E. [lvin] Pace, son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Foster Pace [Nancy Jane Wininger], was born in Dubois County, Indiana, Jan. 9, 1847, and died at his home in New Market, Wednesday, Feb. 24, 1937, at the age of 90 years, one month and 15 days.
When he was ten years old he came with his parents to Taylor County, Iowa, coming overland with ox teams, and settled on a farm near the present site of New Market.
His entire life was spent in this vicinity, with the exception of a few years that he lived in Kansas. During the early years of his life he was engaged in farming, but for many years lived a quiet, retired life, happy in association of friends and loved ones.
He was married to Miss Jennie Burnham, Feb. 20, 1872. Two children were born to them, a son, Willie, who died in infancy and a daughter, Mrs. Cora Abbott, who in recent years has lived in the home with her parents and kindly assisted in caring for them. They recently happily observed their sixty-fifth wedding anniversary.
Many and varied were the experiences of this respected pioneer, who was permitted to attain this advanced age. He saw this country change from a wilderness to its present state. He endured the privations of a pioneer and enjoyed the luxuries of modern times.
He united with the Methodist church in early manhood, remaining steadfast and loyal to that faith until God called him to his Heavenly home.
Uncle Dan, as he was familiarly known, was a friend to his fellowman, a devoted husband, and a kind father.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Jennie Pace, daughter, Mrs. Cora Abbott and two grandchildren, Kenneth Abbott and Miss Dorothy Abbott, all of New Market. Also two brothers and a sister, Charles [Wesley] Pace of Lincoln, Nebr., M.[arion] E. [lliott] Pace and Mrs. Sarah [Ann] Savage of New Market.

Car Overturns, Accident Fatal To John Abbott
New Market Man Caught Under Car Saturday Evening
A Prominent Man
The Accident Occurred On Primary Road No. 3 West of Clarinda
J. [ohn] I. [saac] Abbott of New Market, was instantly killed Saturday night, shortly after 10:30, when the Chevrolet sedan, in which he was riding, went off the paving west of the J. Dee Loudon farm on No. 3, west of Clarinda.
Mr. Abbott, his wife, and daughter, Miss Dorothy Abbott, were returning from Farragut, where they had been visiting. Mrs. Abbott was lying down on the back seat, and Miss Dorothy had offered to drive for her father, who was tired. She turned out, getting slightly off the pavement to pass a car, and in getting back on the paving the car leaped ahead more than she thought it would, crossed the road and went over in the ditch on the north side of the road, where it overturned. The car driven by Chas. McAlpin was a short distance behind, and stopped to see what the trouble was. The daughter Dorothy was not seriously injured, being protected by the steering wheel she was holding. Mrs. Abbott [Cora Pace] suffered some fractured ribs, but it is hoped is not injured seriously. Mr. Abbott was dead when they got to him, his head having been caught under the car, which was resting on his head when he was extricated.
County Coroner Leslie D. Walker was phoned for and sent the ambulance, carrying the remains to his undertaking establishment. Mrs. Abbott and Dorothy were taken by the McAlpins to the residence of Dr. F. H. Clark, for examination and treatment.
Mr. Abbott was at one time a resident of Clarinda where he assisted his father, the late I. [saac] W. [arren] Abbott, in the mercantile business in Clarinda. He was also a clerk in the Page County bank in Clarinda. In later years he had been in the insurance business in New Market with his son, Kenneth. Miss Dorothy will graduate from Simpson College at Indianola in June, and was home to spend the weekend with home folks. Mr. Abbott is survived by his wife, and his son, Kenneth, and daughter, Dorothy.
Funeral services were held in New Market Tuesday afternoon.
