ESSEX – Died, at his home northeast of this place, Sunday night, June 18, 1893, Alexander M. Caldwell, aged 33 years and two months. This was a sad and unexpected death and has cast quite a gloom over this community. He was seemingly a strong and healthy man but had been unwell all this spring. Pleurisy with pneumonia and other complications was the cause of his death. He leaves a wife and four small children. The funeral was held at the Franklin Grove school house and the interment at the cemetery near there. A very large number of friends congregated to pay their last respects to a noble and conscientious man and whose sudden demise is sincerely mourned. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. E. M. Hoff of the M. E. church in Essex and very appropriate and expressive. Mr. Caldwell died in the hope of a better future existence and his last words were to the effect that he would soon be up there where no more of trouble [and] pain ever comes.

Archibald Caldwell Dead.
DIED – Tuesday afternoon, July 30, 1900 [1901], at the home of Charles Aldrich, five miles south of Shenandoah, Iowa, Archibald Caldwell, aged seventy eight years, four months, and three days.
Archibald Caldwell was born in Vermont March 27, 1823, and removed to Illinois in 1865. He remained there only five years, coming to Iowa in 1870 and to Fremont county in 1885. For sixteen years he had made his home with his son-in-law, Mr. Charles Aldrich, his daughter having departed this life some years since.
Funeral services were conducted from the Aldrich residence by Rev. J. H. Wright of the Christian church of this city and interment was in Rose Hill cemetery.

An Aged Patriarch. Silas Call, Sr.
This man, possibly the oldest in Page county, if not of South west Iowa, died at the home of his son Silas Call, jr., June 22, 1885, aged 94 years, 8 months and 13 days.
He was born in Boscawen, N. H., October 9, 1790, on a farm where lived five generations of the same family.
His father died at Portsmouth, N. H., in war of '12, having enlisted and been assigned to the defense of that port against the British.
His aunt was killed by Indians on the farm where Daniel Webster was born, eight miles from Boscawen, his own birth place.
In 1866 he removed to his son's, Silas Call, in Illinois and in 1868 accompanied him to this place, living ever since on the farm where he died.
For the last four or five years the helplessness of old age has been over coming him, and he died, not from any particular disease, but because the wheels of life were worn out, and ceased to move.
He was the father of seven children, all of whom died before him, except the son with whom he spent the last years of his life.
In 1806 he was converted under the labors of Eld. Elias Smith (not the Disciples) in New England and maintained the convictions then formed to the day of his death.
He, with his son and daughter-in-law, placed his membership in Disciple church of Manti, which was afterwards moved to this city and continued a member of it until about a year ago when they refused to permit a minister of his choice to preach in the new house although both denominations occupy theoretically the same position. For this reason they withdrew and have since stood alone.
He was a firm believer in the word of God and often spoke of the power there is in it, to answer all questionings and doubts.
At one time in his life he was seriously troubled about the genuineness of his conversion and went to God in prayer to have it solved. In answer thereto, the Holy Spirit brought to his mind the saying of Jesus: "He that putteth his hand to the plow and looketh back is not worthy the kingdom of heaven." This set his mind at peace and filled him with joy.
He was a believer in the power of God to heal in this day. He based this belief upon the promises of the Word and his own experience. At one time he was seriously afflicted with rheumatism and was in constant and great pain. One day his wife went after a boy to do his work during his illness and while she was gone the minister came. The minister read the Word of God and prayed with him and for him and went on his way. Mr. Call sat before the fire, leaning his head upon his cane, when left alone, when suddenly as he meditated he seemed to himself to lose consciousness; regaining it a moment after, he found himself well. And when his wife returned he met her at the door, put up the team for her and began from that moment to do the work which his rheumatism had made impossible before. In a written account of this left among his papers, he concludes thus: "I will further say that I have learned by past experience, that it is for me to do my duty, then leave the events to God.
He was a constant attendant upon the services of the Lord's house as long as his age and feebleness did not forbid, and was always ready to bear his cross.
He has gone to that rest that  remaineth for the people of God, where he rests from his labors, and his youth is perpetually renewed.
Services were held at the home of his son, Rev. T. C. Smith, of Shenandoah, officiating. Text, 2 Tim. 4 7.
One will scarcely realize what important discoveries and inventions have been made and how the channels of history have changed within the limits of such a life, unless he sit down and think.
When he was an infant, Louis XVI of France was on the throne and the French revolution was gathering fury with which to break forth upon king, priest and people, deluging that fair land with blood. Bonaparte "rose and reigned and fell," while he was still a young man. Napoleon III played his farce of the empire and was unthroned at Sedan, during his later years. He saw thirty years of the reign of George III of England, nine of George IV, seven of William IV and 48 of Victoria.
When he was eight years old, Nelson fought the battle of the Nile and when he was fifteen that idol of Englishmen won the battle of Trafalgar and his own heroic death.
Of the popes of Rome, he was born during the pontificate of Pius VI, and saw in succession the tiara worn by Pius VII, Leo XII, Pius VIII, Gregory XVI, Pius IX and Leo XII. But better than all that he lived to see the pope stripped of his temporal power and like a toothless and chained lion, growling at the growth of heresy and the multiplying of Protestant heretics, even in the pontifical city itself.
Since his birth galvanism ('91), vaccination ('98), and the planet Neptune ('46) has been discovered. And he have lived to see the labor of men lightened and expedited by the discoveries of the cotton-gin ('94), steamboats ('06), McCormick reaper ('31), lucifer matches ('34), daguerreotypes ('39), sewing machines ('47), telegraph ('49), electric light ('58), phonograph ('63) and telephone.
He saw the population grow from less than 4,000,000 in '90 to more than 55,000,000 in '85.
He was two years older than the city of Washington and forty years older than Chicago.
He lived under every administration, beginning with Washington's first and ending with Cleveland. And the whole of the republic's history is virtually comprehended between the dates of his birth and his death.
Yet as long and as eventful as was his earthly pilgrimage, it was nothing—a drop to the ocean, in comparison with the life that he began to live the other morning, in the home bright, pure and eternal, of the saints of God.

CALAHAN – Died, Monday morning, Jan. 9, Charles, son of A.[lfred] J. Callahan and wife, in E. Shenandoah, aged 4 years and six months.
The little boy was badly burned three weeks ago an account of which we gave at the time. One side of his face and body peeled off and the little fellow suffered intensely. Still if he could have been taken to a hospital and given proper nursing he would have recovered. Elder Price will conduct the funeral at 3:30 this afternoon.

Death of David S. Campbell.
An Old Settler and a Man of Marked Character Passes Away.
After a long and lingering illness David S. Campbell died at his home in this city last Tuesday night at 10:30. For years he has been fighting an uneven battle with disease of the stomach and lungs, and for a year and a half he has been confined to his home and bed. He possessed great nerve, a sturdy hopefulness, cheerfulness and a tenacity of life that was remarkable. For months he has known that death was close at hand, that he could no longer hope to recover, but he never quailed for an instant. He talked about it and arranged for it with all the easy naturalness that he would show if he were going on a pleasant journey. We note this fact because as is well known he was not a believer in orthodox Christianity. He met death as bravely and as cheerily as he had met life. David Campbell was not a perfect man; he had his faults, we all know that. He was a man among men. He put his worst side out. There was no hidden meanness in him. He was not a hypocrite. Yet his sins were not grievous and against them there was a large balance of goodness. He was a warm-hearted friend, he was generous, he loved his home, and wife and children and made it a happy home beyond the average. He possessed an ever bubbling spring of humor; he liked the sunshiny side of life. He was courageous, patriotic, full of nerve and grit. After he had been in the army some time he became incapacitated for marching and so was detailed to drive a government team, hauling heavy ordnance and ammunition. He would sit on the saddle horse and drive a six mule team day after day. Once an accident occurred and he was thrown from his seat and the wagon wheel passed over his leg, and that made him lame for life. Many will remember his extraordinary struggle with Frank Gallup—how on the dark night alone one the porch he grappled with that powerful and desperate outlaw and held on like a bulldog and would have arrested him had not Gallop drawn his revolver and shot him in the back and neck. It was a heroic act and a very narrow escape, but Mr. Campbell deserves great credit for the courageous part he played in that affair. But the most remarkable exhibition of his will power and nerve was the last act of his life. Tuesday night, after he had summoned his family and bade them a final farewell, he desired to get up and sit in his easy chair. Jerry Brown and Ed Van Pelt were present and they lifted him to his feet and to their surprise he walked to the chair with more vigor than he had shown for a week before. They sat him down in his favorite chair and in fifteen minutes he was dead. All through his long sickness he has been very patient and cheerful. Never a complaint passed his lips.
David S. Campbell was born in Boalsburg, Pa., February 22, 1840. He has lived therefore 58 years and 21 days. He grew to manhood on a farm. Just as he was 21 years old, he responded to the call of President Lincoln for volunteers in defense of the union. Indeed before Ft. Sumter had been fired on; he and Jerry Brown and their associates had formed a company and tendered their services to the governor of Pennsylvania, desiring to be the very first in the fight, but the rush was so great that their company got in the 7th Pennsylvania, and he served three months in this regiment and then re-enlisted in the 49th Pennsylvania. Jerry Brown, D. S. Loudon and Rev. J. B. Bartley were comrades with him in this regiment. He served almost his full term of enlistment and then was discharged for disability. He came to Iowa in 1864, was married to Priscilla Weaver Nov. 22, 1865, and coming to Page county he bought and improved the farm one-half miles east of White Cloud school house on which Mr. Anderson now resides. He moved to Shenandoah 22 years ago and has ever since been a familiar and unique figure on our streets. He was on good terms with everybody and was fond of a joke. He had the good will of almost everybody and this fact was demonstrated at his funeral; the attendance was very large; hundreds viewed the remains in the morning. the casket was heaped with flowers, the gifts of neighbors and friends; among them a beautiful floral anchor from the girls of the Campbell laundry.
There were flowers also from Mrs. O. S. Long and Mrs. Geo. Trotter. Just before two o'clock the Odd Fellows marched from their hall to the residence and escorted the remains to the Universalist church which was filled to overflowing long before the hour, not more than half those who came being able to get in. Here addresses were made, in accordance with the request of Mr. Campbell and his family, by A. S. Bailey, D. M. Brubaker, Capt. Nesmith and Rev. J. B. Bartley. Years ago Mr. Campbell had requested C. S. Keenan to deliver an address at his funeral, but Mr. Keenan was detained at court and could not be present. Mr. Bartley's remarks, made under most trying circumstances, could not have been more appropriate and fitting. He spoke of the comradeship existing between himself and Dave in the army and ever since their renewed acquaintance in Iowa, and how he had spoken to him on religious matters. Mr. Campbell's reply was on two different occasion, "Jesse, we have always been good friends; we cannot agree on this question; let's not talk about it"
When the speaking had ended the Odd Fellows took charge of the remains and buried them in Rose Hill according to their beautiful ritual ceremony.
Mr. Campbell leaves a widow and five children, four daughters and a son. All were present at the deathbed. All have been married and settled in life. Maggie's husband, H. J. Blackford of Slater, Mo., was unable to be present.
The widow and her family request us to extend their heartfelt thanks to the many friends and neighbors who through all the trying days of Mr. Campbell's sickness and death were so kind and helpful.
[Note: Iowa, Select Marriages Index, 1759-1996, gives the marriage date as October 10, 1865 in Cedar County, Iowa.]

Mrs. Campbell Dies Suddenly.
Complication of Minor Diseases Carries Away a Respected Woman from the Realm of Earthly Care.
After a two weeks siege with grip and typhoid fever, Mrs. Milton Campbell succumbed at 4 o'clock Thursday morning to an acute attack of mumps. The Campbell family has been particularly afflicted for the past four months, the elder daughter, Mrs. Mary Conyers, first yielding to grip, which rapidly developed into typhoid, then the younger daughter, Bertha, having a tussle with the same diseases. When the fever developed in the mother it found her system so exhausted and depleted from care and worry that it marked her as an easy victim.
She was in no condition to withstand the ravages of the disease, but was not considered to be in immediate danger until a day or two previous to her death, when the mumps developed, affecting the respiratory organs to such an extent as to render breathing impossible.
Anna Jackson was a daughter of Ira and Mary Jackson, of Van Buren county, Iowa, and was born August 2, 1844. She passed the early part of her life at the old home place, becoming Mrs. Milton Campbell October 4, 1860. She was the mother of four children, two of whom are living—Mrs. Mary Conyers of Centerville and Miss Bertha Campbell, who has made her home under the family fig tree and been a faithful daughter.
Mr. and Mrs. Campbell located at Manti in 1871 but afterward went to California, returning to Shenandoah in 1881, where they have since resided. Mrs. Campbell was a member of the First Baptist Church of this city, having renounced the frivolities of the world about fifteen years ago and was known as an exemplary woman, whose traits of character drew to her a large circle of warm friends. She was a great favorite with her nieces and nephews, her kindly, attentive disposition and evident interest in all their joys and cares making her a confidant and friend for the whole family. In her demise all have a great sorrow, the pain of which finds no healing balm.
Funeral services were held at the Baptist church this afternoon by her pastor, Rev. J. Young Aitchison and the remains laid to rest in the Shenandoah cemetery.

Rev. Campbell Called Home
Rev. J. F. Campbell died at his home in Villisca last Friday morning at half past one o'clock at the age of over seventy one years. The immediate cause of his death was heart failure induced by nervous prostration.
The funeral services were held from the M. E. church Sunday, the pastor being assisted by Rev. E. W. McDade of Creston and Rev. Harris of Greenfield. The Masonic fraternity, of which deceased was a member, attended in a body and took charge of the services at the grave.
The funeral services were very impressive and were attended by a large concourse of people and much sorrow was manifested, as Father Campbell has been a very prominent and successful preacher in this vicinity for many years. The floral offerings were many and beautiful.
Biographical Sketch
There is, in the settlement of a new country, when fresh from the hand of its great Creator, something that brings man near to nature and to nature's God. Especially is this so when there are unusual obstacles to be overcome; then the stern, rugged forces in man's nature rise up to meet and overcome whatever interposes between him and his ultimate purposes.
John Franklin Campbell and Darthula Campbell were descendants of a Scottish clan and a Welch colony that settled in North Carolina in the latter part of the eighteenth century. With man's innate tendency to rove, a part of this colony came to Illinois and settled in what became Edgar county, in the early settlement of the state.
The new country was very beautiful and very fertile. Here, in summer time the hues of the rainbow seemed to descend upon the magnificent flora and lush grasses of the vast prairie region in their pristine loveliness, until shut out by the unwilling horizon. But, like all earth's loveliness, "For the trail of the serpent is over them all," there was with it, misery. The flat county with its wealth of vegetation received the rains of spring and summer's heat, exhaled a miasma that was deadly in its effects upon human life. Malignant fevers resulted and the well filled graveyards of that region tell the story, all too well, of the sickness, suffering and death of the old pioneers. It was here and in these conditions that Father Campbell and his helpmeet, Darthula, were born and grew to man's estate.
Here on January 9, 1831, he opened his young eyes upon a world wherein he found a man's work to do. He attended the country schools and like other boys did whatever his hands found to do until his 20th year when he began teaching in the schools of the country and taught for twenty years, becoming noted in that profession. In 1855 he was married to Darthula O. Campbell, whom he had known from childhood and in that year he was converted and joined the Presbyterian church. He was for twenty years an elder in that church.
They lived in various places in Illinois until 1872, when they removed to Wiota, Wis., remaining there until October 9, 1877, when they went to Springfield, Missouri, where they lived one year. From there they came to Page county, Iowa.
He became connected with the Des Moines Conference in 1881 and received his first appointment in full membership from Bishop Simpson in 1884. In all his life time as a preacher, his congregations invariably desired him to remain longer than the Bishop under the rules could permit.
He joined the Masonic fraternity in 1872, remaining a member until his death.
To Father and Mother Campbell were born six children, four of whom, two boys and two girls, are living.
Failing health incident to his peculiar, sympathetic nature, compelled him to abandon his dearly loved life work and in 1893 he came to his farm in Page county, where the great trial of his life awaited him.
His precious companion, the love of his youth, the pride of his young manhood, she, who had stood by his side through all the joys and sorrows of his life time died.
In 1899 he removed to Villisca where he has since resided. In 1896, he was married to Miss Lucinda Hill who had been a member of the family for several years and who was a kind, devoted wife and did much to alleviate his sufferings during his long illness.
Last winter when Dr. Buckley was here he visited him. After the usual greeting, the doctor said: "Well, Bro. Campbell how is it with thee? You are now too old for emotional religion, how is it with thee?" "I thank God, doctor," replied Bro. Campbell, "I am not too old for religion."
Father Campbell was in his lifetime a remarkable man and preacher. It is said that he married more people and preached more funeral sermons than any man who ever lived in Montgomery county. His great sympathy was so impressive that few could listen to him unmoved. He was the friend of man. He loved children and they were drawn to him. He loved the birds, he loved nature. He lived "near to nature's heart." Dumb animals never had a better friend.
He believed in the great fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. Firmly believing that a religious life was a happier life for man, he brought all the powers of his being to convince his fellow man of that great fact. He had a way of presenting plain, common facts that was irresistible, always saying something that impress his idea upon the mind and fastened it there.
He was kind, social, sympathetic, and "the elements were so mixed in him that Nature could stand up before all the world and say, this is a man."
He gave his life to his faith and belief. His sympathetic, emotional nature so impressed itself upon his nervous system, that at the last it broke down leaving him a helpless invalid. It need not be said that he bore his sufferings patiently; his was an uncomplaining nature. With nervous prostration, heart failure and other diseases incident to these conditions brought to an end a life that had always and at all times been devoted to the alleviation of the ills of his race.
And now his soul—wheresoever in the universe of God it may be—will look smilingly out upon humanity in this world who are struggling hopefully onward and upward to a more perfect happiness.   J. S. Boise.

He leaves a young wife and two babes. He has been troubled for years with earache; one of these spells a few weeks ago developed into cerebral spinal meningitis. He was a son of Milton Campbell and wife, and was born at Manti, coming with his parents to this city in 1882. The widow is a daughter of I. J. Bowell. Funeral today at 3 o'clock p. m., at the Baptist church, conducted by Rev. D. W. Griffith.

Drowned In a Pond.
Fred Carey's Tragic Death at Omaha—Fatal End of a Raft Ride—Tries to Swim Ashore.
Saturday evening word was received by Jeff Williams of this city, stating that his grandson, Fred Carey, had met with death from drowning.
The following account given in the Sunday Bee tells the particulars of the sad story:
"Fred Carey, the 16 year-old son of John L. Carey, a stockman residing at 1312 South Thirty-second street, was drowned shortly after 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon in a pond two blocks west of his home. In company with his cousin, 14 year-old Herman Waugh, of Thirty-fifth and Hickory streets, Carey was using a section of sidewalk as a raft in the middle of the pond. A strong breeze was blowing and the improvised raft rocked in such an alarming manner that Carey told Waugh to swim to the shore, which he did. Carey attempted to follow but was apparently seized with an attack of cramps and sank without uttering a sound. The body was recovered with grappling hooks about an hour later by men under the direction of Police Detective Mitchell. The coroner took charge of the body.
After the body was recovered Dr. Arthur and Dr. S. M. Campbell made ineffectual attempts at resuscitation. The pond covers about a quarter of a block and is from seven to ten feet deep. All summer long the police have been chasing boys away from the pond."
From Mr. Welty we learned that the boy was a good swimmer and that he was heard to utter the word "Boys" evidently intending to call for help.
Mr. Carey, the father, was formerly a resident of this city, living one and one-half mile[s] to the south. He was well known to most of our citizens. At the time he left for Omaha Fred was but a small boy of six years, having just entered our public schools.
Mr. Carey had been in Chicago visiting his oldest daughter and started on his return home about the same time that his son was drowned. The news was not conveyed to him until reaching Burlington Junction.
The body was brought to this city Monday night and borne to the home of Mr. Williams where the casket was opened this morning from 8:30 to 9:30. At ten o'clock the mournful procession with sad and solemn tread bore the dead youth to Rose Hill cemetery where, after a brief service by Elder J. H. Wright, pastor of the Christian church, it was laid to rest by the side of his mother who had been buried some eleven years ago. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at the home in Omaha.
Fred was a bright and promising young lad. He was attending the high school at Omaha and showed himself active and proficient in his studies. In many ways he was a great help to his father and being the oldest son was a child much thought of and cared for by this parental one.

C. W. Carlson Called To His Reward
After an illness lasting for many weeks, a greater part of the time of which he suffered a great deal, Mr. C. W. Carlson answered the call of the death angel Monday morning Sept. 28th, 1914 at the age of 67 years, 8 months and 14 days.
It can be truly said of this grand old man that he was one of our most highly respected citizens, Swedish by birth but spending all of his life but four years in America, he can surely be called an old settler. He was a man who was loved and respected by all who knew him for his honorable upright ways. It was a prominent characteristic of his to make a friend of everyone and be a friend to everybody. While the last few months of his life were spent in his home, confined there by illness he was patient and contented, complaining very little.
Claus William Carlson was born in Sweden Jan. 14, 1847, came to America with his parents at the age of four years, settling first in Chicago. From there the family moved to Andover, Ill., where he grew to manhood. At this place he was united in marriage to Miss Caroline Noyd, Feb. 21st, 1870. To this union eight children were born; Carl, the eldest, who died in infancy, Albert of Walters, Okla., Henry and Frank of Essex, Emma (Mrs. S. J. Locke) of Lockwood, Mo., and Media (Mrs. Frank Fagerquist) of Essex.
In 1875 Mr. Carlson came to Stanton, Iowa where they made their home for twenty years, moving from there to Essex where he purchased a farm just northeast of town. Three years ago he and Mrs. Carlson left the farm in the hands of their children and moved to Essex where they built a fine new home. Recently Mr. Carlson sold 40 acres of his landed interests to Mr. John Hagglund. At the time of his death he still owned the 160 acres now being conducted and looked after by his son Frank.
Beside wife and children he leaves to mourn, one brother in Wyoming and a sister, Mrs. Hultquist, who lives in Canada and a large number of other relatives and friends.
His funeral was held Wednesday afternoon at the Swedish Lutheran church conducted by the pastor Rev. J. A. Holmen and was attended by a very large crowd who gathered at this time to pay their last respects to an old and very dear friend. Those who bore his remains to their last resting place in Essex cemetery were among his old neighbors, Frank Johnson, John Nelson, Alfred Holmes, C. J. Sar, A. J. Swanson and Andrew Johnson.
[Note:  Swedish American Church Records give his birthdate as October 3, 1847.]

COIN – Mr. Wm. Carr died suddenly last [words unreadable] immediate cause of his death was heart failure, though Mr. Carr has been in feeble health for several years. He had seemed as well as usual up to Thanksgiving day when he took worse on his way home from the services at the church and continued to fail rapidly until the time of his death. Mr. Carr was born in Scotland and lived there until almost a man when he came to America to make his fortune. In his early life he worked in the coal mines but his health began to fail and he left the mines and took to farming. He moved with his wife to their present home when the country was comparatively new. Mr. Carr was a faithful member of the United Presbyterian church; a consistent Christian; a kind neighbor and a devoted husband and father. While a patriotic American citizen he still loved the old Scotch ballads and used often to sing them with his family. Mr. Carr and his only sister were left orphans in childhood and lived together until he came to this country. His sister is still living in Scotland. Besides this sister he leaves a wife and four children, two sons and two daughters, all grown and still at home. The funeral services were held in the U. P. church Monday at 11 a. m., after which the remains were laid to rest in Elmwood cemetery. May the Father whom he served comfort the sorrowing family.
