Obituary

    Stephen B. Harris was born in Morgan county, Ohio, June 12, 1884. Moved with his parents to Plainfield, Ill., and from there to Allamakee county, Iowa. He enlisted in Co. K, 1st Iowa Cavalry in 1861, and served all through the war.
    On Sept. 18th, 1866, he was married to Mrs. Sarah Osborne, at Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. In 1870 moved to Butler county, Nebraska, and to Custer county in 1882.
    There have been born to Mr. And Mrs. Harris ten children. He was a kind husband and father, and a good citizen.
    About twenty-five years ago he accepted the third Angels message and we believe that he sleeps in Jesus. He was a faithful servant of God, one who loved his Lord and Master. He knew his bible and was true to his church and its teachings. His unwavering faith in God led the way to victory in the last hours of his life.
    He fell asleep Tuesday morning at 6 o'clock. He leaves a wife, six children, one grandson, three brothers and one sister to mourn his departure. Funeral services were held at the home in North Ansley Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock by Rev. C. A. Spalding of the Baptist church.
Brother Harris selected the scripture he wished to be read, John 4:1-6 also I Theas 4 chapter.
The body was taken to Rising City Thursday morning and there laid away to rest.

Dear one! Thou art sleeping peacefully beneath the soul,
No more to trod the vale of tears, thy spirit is with God,
It is not far this sliver gleaming stand,
Sometimes we almost hear the voice or feel the touch of some dear hand,
A little longer here we'll wait, and then with bated breath,
We're home at last. Ah! grave where is thy sting? What victory hath death?

Note: Stephen was the son of William Harris and Mary Inman. Stephen Harris's wife's maiden name was Sarah Minnick.

OBITUARY

    The sudden death of Albert E. Inman took from the country east of Thurman one of the most highly respected pioneers. He had gone about his usual tasks that day and seemed in the best of spirits. Early in the evening he laid down for a rest while awaiting the coming of relatives. One of the family hearing a sound that seemed strange went to his side only to find that death had claimed him. Tho he had been in poor health at times the suddenness of his going was a great shock to the loved ones.
    Mr. Inman was born February 4, 1846, near Parkman village, Geauga county, Ohio, and died at this home near Thurman Wednesday evening, August 11, 1920, at the age of 74 years, 6 months and 7 days. At the age of six years he moved with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Inman, to Dane county, Wisconsin, where he resided until the year 1870, when he moved to Fremont county, Iowa. August 26, 1875, he was united in marriage to Roseltha Gray of Fremont county. To this union three sons were born; Edgar S., of Chillicothe, Missouri; Norton C., of Wray, Colorado; and Harry L., living at home. Besides the wife and sons he leaves three brothers: Norton, of Imperial, Neb., Manderville and Myron O., of Randolph, Iowa; one sister, Mrs. C. H. Fichter, Randolph, Iowa, and thirteen grandchildren.
    Mr. Inman has lived in the county fifty years with the exception of a short time spent in Nebraska. He was here early enough to be ranked among the pioneers and helped to lay the foundations upon which this generation is building. We are much indebted to those sturdy folk for the hardships they endured and the privations they suffered. He gave his strength and vigor to the conquest of the soil.
    He was of that hardy type of those early days who because of industry and care prospered with the years. He was highly respected as a neighbor and greatly esteemed as a friend. The members of the family will cherish his memory because of his intense devotion to his home. Cheerful in disposition, generous of heart, he brought comfort and inspiration to others.
    Mr. Inman not only served his community by the life he lived and sharing in its tasks but he also served his country and saw his youngest son enlisted in the World War. In 1864, then eighteen years of age, he enlisted in the Civil War in Company M, 51st Wisconsin regiment.
    The funeral services were held in the Methodist church at Randolph on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Peter Jacobs. Favorite hymns selected by the family were sung by a quartet. The pall bearers were friends and neighbors of the deceased, some of whom had known him for many years. Interment in the Randolph cemetery.
