Funeral Held Sunday
Henry Ligget, a lifetime resident of this community, passed away Thursday, Nov. 30, 1933, after a brief illness. Mr. Ligget who had spent part of the summer and fall looking after his farm in North Dakota, had a severe attack of the flu, but recovered sufficiently to return to his home here, but the disease had not released its hold on him and a turn for the worse ended in his death.
Henry Ligget was born Nov. 9, 1873, at the family home in Riverton township, Floyd county, 6 miles west and one mile south of Nashua. He passed to his reward at the state hospital on November 30, 1933.
A short interval of sickness beginning with influenza, developing into a neural and heart complication, caused him to sink very rapidly. Except for 15 years at farming in North Dakota Henry had spent his entire life in and around Nashua. He was a man of quiet and unassuming ways, but honorable and upright to the last degree, and a helpful neighbor to those in need.
Those surviving him are a sister, Mary E. and a brother Thomas, both of Nashua; a brother Charles of Charles City; and two nieces, Lucille and Laura Ligget, of Nashua. His father, mother and one brother preceded him in death.
Funeral services were held at the Methodist church, Sunday at 2 p. m., Rev. G. C. Lustred officiating, and interment was in Greenwood cemetery. Pall bearers were Messrs. R. A. Nafus, W. C. Reif, Mike Farrell, O. D. Yetter, John Shannon and Austin Morse.
Among those present from a distance at the funeral were: Sam Hunter, Miss Jannie Hunter and Charles Hunter of Granada, N. D.; Chas. Canning of Hendrum, Minn.; Mr. and Mrs. Sam McRoberts, Mr. and Mrs. Will McRoberts, Mr. and Mrs. Stuntz, Mrs. Montgomery and Miss Emma Montgomery of Greene; Mr. and Mrs. M. Farrell, Mr. and Mrs. Will Stewart, and Walter and Geo. Mullarky, Charles City, and Mr. and Mrs. Elmer McRoberts of LeRoy, Minn.
