[harles] Dale who passed away Dec. 13, 1918, at the age of 35 years.  Those remaining are Marion, Grover, Bernie, and Mrs. Jake Stewart [Mary Edith], all of Bedford; Ernie of Dallas, Texas; and Mrs. Roy Raines [Golda Ethel] of Versailles, Mo.  There are also 26 grand children and 2 great great grandchildren.  He is also survived by his five brothers and one sister:  C.

[alvin] Mohler, Will Mohler [William Alexander] and John [Franklin] Mohler, all of Bedford, Ia.; Mrs. Sarah [Ann] Young of Shenandoah, and Henry Mohler Kansas City.  His wife, Mrs. Kate B. [eshara Widener] Mohler, preceded him in death in the year 1920.  Since that time he has remained in his own home 2 miles south of town, and had he lived until the first day of February, he would have lived on the same farm and in the same house for 45 years.  In regard to Mr. Mohler's church relationship, he made a confession under the leadership of Rev. Arnold, a Methodist minister, just a short time after his wife's death.  We feel we owe a great debt to these old pioneers, who built their homes among the brush, or out on the plains of an undeveloped state.  They became the trailblazers, opening a pathway into a new state and a better situation for their offspring.

The funeral services were held at the Marion Mohler home at 11 o'clock Wednesday forenoon, conducted by Rev. Clark M. Crowell.  Interment was made in the Bedford cemetery.  The grandsons acted as pallbearers.

Charles Webb Killed Riding His Motorcycle

Suffered Fractured Skull in Accident Saturday Night

Charles [Edward] Webb, 72, met instant death Saturday night when he was thrown from his motorcycle about 2 ½ miles west of Brick Chapel.  The fatal accident occurred at 11:30 p.m., according to Charles McCurry, Putnam County coroner, as the victim was returning from Greencastle to his home in Clinton Falls.

Mr. Webb, a bachelor, who was known for his flowing beard, suffered a fractured skull.  The coroner stated that the victim's motorcycle had hit two chuckholes in the road, evidently at an angle, and the two-wheeled vehicle went out of control.  The motorcycle was found in the grass at the side of the highway, about 60 feet from the chuckholes and Mr. Webb was about [unreadable] feet farther away.

The tragedy was discovered by Ralph Beaman of Fillmore, who was returning to his home from Clinton Falls.  He noticed the glowing taillight of the motorcycle in the grass and stopped to investigate.  He called Sheriff Ed Maddox, who with Coroner McCurry, went to the scene.

Mr. Webb was a member of the Morton Masonic Lodge.

The deceased is survived by a half sister, Mrs. Fannie Hill, of San Francisco, Cal., and several nieces and nephews.

Funeral services for Mr. Webb will be held from the Clinton Falls church at 1:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
