John W Fagan grew to manhood and was engaged in farming which he varied with the manufacture of butter and cheese for which latter product he was widely known. He was married to Catherine Rogers and nine children were born to them, five of whom, Katherine, Mary, Joseph, John and David, with the wife and mother preceded him in death. The surviving children are Thomas L and James H Fagan of Brady, Mont.; Louis E Fagan of Chicago; and Frank Fagan of Otter Creek township, Jackson county. One brother, P J Fagan, preceded him in death January 7, 1922. In 1918 Mr. Fagan took up his residence with his son, Frank, in Otter Creek, where he remained up to the time of his death. Mr. Fagan was one of the most genial of men and counted his friends by the score. He was the soul of honor and a loyal friend. He was a devout member of the Catholic church, and his declining years and closing hours were fortified by an undying faith in religion. The remains were brought to the home of J E Flanigan in Washington township Tuesday and the funeral took place at St Peter's church, Temple Hill at 9 o'clock Wednesday morning, Rev.

	David Arthur Farnham 25 August 1864—26 September 1899
		David Arthur Farnham, the oldest child of H. P. and Mary C. Farnham was born in Hale township, Jones county, Iowa, Aug. 25, 1864 and died near Morley, Jones county, Sept. 26, 1899, aged 35 years, 1 month and 1 day. He moved into Rome township with his parents before he was a year old. He was converted and joined the M. E. church in his boyhood days and had been an earnest worker in the Master's vineyard since his conversion. He was united by marriage to Miss Ollie Bixler Sept. 28, 1893, and to them were born two children, Arthur B., born April 21, 1895 and Ralph P., born Oct. 4, 1898. His entire life, with the exception of a part of three years at Cornell College was spent in the home neighborhood, and his record as a public school teacher, Sunday school superintendent, church worker, citizen and neighbor is well known to all with whom he was associated. He was a member of the Modern Woodmen of America, having joined the Morley camp Feb. 26, 1898. He was a man of strong convictions and his desire was to do good. When a question came up for consideration his first thought was what is right, and having decided that point his whole energy was exerted to do the right. He will be greatly missed in the Sunday school, the Epworth League, the church work and the neighborhood, but will be missed most of all in the home circle. He leaves a wife and two little boys, too young to know their loss, a father and mother, one brother and three sisters and a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn his loss; but while we mourn we are comforted by that same hope that was the inspiration of his life and that sustained him as he passed through his Gethsemane of suffering into that land that knows no night. He said he would like to live that he might tell of the power of salvation, but he had no fear of death, for Jesus sustained him. A good man has gone. The funeral services were held at Center Chapel Sept. 27, 1899. conducted by Rev. Earhart, of Olin, and Rev. Black, of Anamosa. The pall-bearers were: J. R. Bickerstaff, F. E. Shoemaker, G. E.

A Card We wish to return our sincere thanks to the friends and neighbors who so kindly assisted us during the sickness, death and burial of our dear husband, son and brother, for on such occasions sympathy is doubly precious. May that blessed saying. "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto Me." be realized by each one. Ollie B. Farnham H. P. Farnham and Family Resolutions of Respect WHEREAS, The Devine Ruler, in His wise providence, has removed from us our esteemed neighbor, David A. Farnham, a faithful and earnest member of our beloved order; therefore be it Resolved, That the sympathy of this camp be extended to his family in their deep affliction: and Resolve, That these resolutions be spread upon the records of the camp, that a copy of the same be furnished the papers of Anamosa and Olin, and that a copy be sent to the family.

	Hiram Putnam Farnham 2 December 1838—25 December 1815
		Hiram Putnam Farnham was born in Andover, Mass, Dec 02, 1838. He was the youngest child in a family of five of John and Almira Farnham, and his father died when he was but a child of two years. At the age of ten years he went to live with William Hamlet, a butcher by trade, who gave him a fathers kindly care for seven years. When he reached the age of seventeen he, with his widowed mother, two sisters and two brothers, moved to what was then the territory of Minnesota where they lived for six years. In 1861 they moved to Jones County, Iowa. In the past fifty and more years he has spent his live in this immediate neighborhood. He was joined in marriage to Mary Catherine Richtstine January 22, 1863, with whom he lived in fellowship and delightful companionship for nearly 53 years. Six children were born in this family. The children are as follows: David A., who died in 1899; James O., who resides near Morley; Mamie Ella, who also passed on before to the eternal world in 1878; Barbara M., now Mrs. Sylvester Miller, living nearby in Greenfield township; and Esther A., now Mrs. David Boots of Elk River, Minnesota. He leaves to mourn his departure his bereft wife, four children and eight grandchildren, and one sister, Mrs. T. H. Dunn, of Anamosa. His family was so situated that they could be with him in his last illness, excepting Esther, the youngest daughter, whose home is in Minnesota. His last illness was very painful and lasted through a period of nearly twelve weeks, but was borne with great fortitude and without complaint and with constant expressions of the appreciation for the kind and loving care bestowed upon him by his life companion and the family. After his long and severe suffering he closed his eyes in death at the home of his daughter on Christmas day at 4:30 PM. He had reached the age of 77 years and 23 days. He fell asleep in Jesus in whom he had trusted and sought to serve faithfully through many years. Forty-five years ago he united with the Methodist Episcopal church and he has been a faithful working member through all these years. At the time of his death he was class leader and recording steward. During all his illness he had noticed the ringing of the church bell and felt that it was a call for him to worship his God. He was always in his place in church unless on account of unavoidable circumstances. The integrity and beauty of his character is known by all who were acquainted with him. He was true to his faith and firm in his ways if he felt they were right, almost to the extreme. He was an intelligent reader of the bible and his Christian paper and good literature. He was a man who had gained a good deal of general information and to the last months his faculties were clear and he was a interesting man with whom to converse on almost any topic. He has gone to his reward. He will be missed from his home, by his church, and in this community. Today we can say, "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord". "In thy presence is fullness of joy and on thy right hand are pleasures for evermore." Some sweet day God will privilege us to meet again in that upper and better kingdom through our Lord Jesus Christ.

	Edward Fay 5 September 1828-6 August 1909
		With extreme regret we have to announce the death of an old, esteemed, and valued citizen in the person of Mr. Edward Fay, which melancholy event took place at his late home on last Friday morning, the 6th last. The message, although not coming unexpectedly, was not the less fraught with sadness. The stroke of death will ever be heavy to feel whether it fall at the end of four score years or after the lapse of four years. In fact the process of time seems, in a measure, to make one's presence a necessary part of the world, and the vacancy more perceptible after departure. In the gloom which hangs over the habitation, in the silence of solitude, a shadow stands in the doorway. It moves gently along the daily walk of the deceased, passes up and down and around the places of his customary work. It is human nature,---fond memories. Affectionate remembrance and familiarity compel the sorrowing survivors to recur in vain to the schemes that are gone, ---to look betimes for the "touch of a vanished hand and the sound of a voice that is still." No matter how prolonged their stay under the roof, or how little the usefulness of their service, no matter how white the head or how weighty the burden of years, still the beloved parent---the father or mother--will always be the keystone of the arch sustaining the family habitat,---the circlet to hold the members in one fold, than which there is no other spot sweeter, "Mid pleasures and palaces," in all the wide world around. Mr. Fay, as much as anybody ever before lived and labored to make his home on earth veritable an ante-chamber of the "home not made with hands' beyond the stars. At the end of more than four score of years his casquet was slowly borne out through the door, covered with flowers of the garden, laden with flowers of love, accompanied by a multitude of sympathising mourners,--and sweetest of all,--followed by sighs and tears as genuinely sincere as ever fell upon a coffin lid. Edward Fay was born in the County Meath, Ireland, on the 5th of September, 1827. In the power and pride of his young manhood he left the Isle of subjection, and emigrated to "the land of the free and the home of the brave." He first settled in Chicago where he was married to Miss Margaret Mulconery. Her brother, Maurice Mulconery, was at that time roadmaster on the old Dubuque and Southwestern R.R. and one of the cleverest, most competent, and best known men that ever lived in this locality. By the invitation of Mr. Mulconery, Mr. and Mrs. Fay came to Iowa and lived for many years at Langworthy where he worked on the railroad, and where most of their family was born. The children are: Margaret (Mrs. John Foley) deceased; William of Kearney, Nebr.; Bridget (Mrs. Wm Fogerty) of Prairieburg; Mary (Sr. Genevieve of the Sisters of Mercy, Cedar Rapids); Maurice and Agnes at home. After quitting railroad work, Mr. Fay bought a farm and lived several years two miles north of this city. Some six years since the family moved into town where the younger brother is now one of Anamosa's most respected and enterprising merchants. Mr. Fay, possessed of the vigourous constitution of the early settlers, enjoyed good health all the years of his long life. A month ago the first symptom of failure appeared, the inevitable consequence of old age and the index of approaching dissolution. His course since then has been a gradual descent into the grave, every day sinking lower and lower, toward his long last home. He was, up to the end, fully conscious, perfectly resigned, grateful in the extreme and filled with the love of both God and man. No thorn of regret pierced his dying pillow. The only things that touched his closing eyes was the single sadness of parting with his dear devoted family---the idols of his soul and the pardonable pride of his aged heart. After all, it is not so much earthly accumulation, civil or social dignities, or literary distinction that makes life worth while, it is the man,---the man,---that makes the world richer by his residence in it, and leaves mankind poorer by his departure from among them. Here surely was a life which utilized to the utmost all the talents which a bountiful Lord had given. His declining days were crowned with heaven's best blessings. His memory shall be his lasting monument. His career was an inspiration and a model. The place which he held,---which any good man holds,---in the hearts of the community was shown by the singularly large number that crowded at the funeral to testify their regard for the citizen that had passed away. The funeral services were held at the local catholic church on Monday at 10: a.m. conducted by the pastor assisted by Father Norris of Stone City. The choir in charge of Miss Dyer sang some musical selections, as exceptionally sweet as they were singularly well suited to the occasion. The sermon was spoken by the pastor, who had known the deceased intimately for more than a quarter of a century. Interment took place in Holy Cross cemetery. The following acted as pall-bearers; John Foley, J. A. Green, Matt Chesire, James Dorney, Ed Harvey, and Philip Daley. The general arrangements were in charge of J.W. Conmey and Sheriff Hogan, which is sufficient guarantee that the entire proceedings were excellently conducted. As the throng of sympathizers looked their last on the beautiful casquet, under a coverlet of beautiful flowers, they thought that these enclosed all that was left of a life no less beautiful in its simplicity, honesty and sincerity; and as they turned their backs on the open grave and wended their way down the hillside they said within themselves:---Verily this is a world of disappointment, separation and woe: the only solution of the problem is that "The path of sorrow, and that path alone Leads to the land where sorrow is unknown."

		Death of Mr. Edward Fay

He resided on his farm three miles north of Anamosa for about thirty-two years and for the last six years on Strawberry Hill. The funeral services were held at the Catholic church on Monday at 10:30 A.M., conducted by Rev.

She was an active member of the Ladies Aid Society and took part in the other activities of the church. Her beautiful Christian life and her teachings made its lasting impression upon her children. Her life was a full and rich one, devoted to serving and helping others most generously. She was a most capable, patient, kind, and loving mother. She was vitally interested, even up to the time of her last illness, both in her many friends and relatives, and in the public affairs of the day. Her alert mind and youthful spirit was a constant challenge to those about her. Her courage was an ever present inspiration to her family and friends; her love and kindness endeared her to all who knew her. She leaves to mourn her departure, two daughters, Mrs. Lillie Muzzey of Waterloo, Iowa, and Mrs. Ethel Wallace of Anamosa, one son, Rollin George Thomas of Lafayette, Indiana, and nine grandchildren: Hattie, Merrill, Dorothy, Marian and George Muzzey; Allen and Grace Wallace; and John and Emily Thomas.
