Well Known Resident Dead
David L. Nutt, father of Mrs. ?.H. Nies of this place and one of the older residents of the county, died at his home in Waterloo Saturday
morning after an illness of two years duration.

Prayer service was held from the late home at one-thirty o'clock Tuesday afternoon and the body was then brought to the Presbyterian
church in La Porte City, where the funeral was held at 2:15. The service was conducted by Rev. W.P. McCormick, pastor of Westminister church in Waterloo, assisted by Rev. D.W. Morgan, pastor of the Presbyterian church here.

David Luther Nutt was the son of Roldanzo and Caroline Nutt and was born Jan. 8th, 1817, near Apalachia, N.Y. In March, 1861, his parents came west and settled near Waterloo, being among the
pioneers of Black Hawk county. After living in that community for twelve years he was married to Miss Mary Mayes in April, 1878, and they established their home on a farm near La Porte City. This was their home until they retired from the farm in 191? and moved to an acreage at Waterloo.

Surviving are the widow and four children, Rolland, who lived at home; Mrs. Nies of La Porte City; M.E. Nutt, Waterloo; R.D. Nutt,
Indianapolis. One brother, Frank Nutt and two grandchildren, Ernest Nies and Daniel D. Nutt, all of La Porte City, also survive.
