OBITUARY RECORD.
After about fifty-nine years of residence in Nodaway township, Page county, Alfonso Edmonds died at his home on Wall Street, Wednesday, Feb. 16 1916, at 8:30 p.m. He sustained a stroke of paralysis in July of last year, by which he lost the use of his right arm, and from which stroke he never fully recovered. On the 6th of this month la grippe set in, from which, and paralysis of the throat, death resulted. Mr. Edmonds was a man of strictest integrity, honorable, in all his dealings, and with whom it was a pleasure to transact business or meet in any way. When such men pass away the community in which he lived is the loser.
Alfonso Edmonds was born in Clermont county, O., April 20, 1830, the fourth child of Thomas and Elizabeth Edmonds, and was one of a family of twelve children. With his parents Alfonso went to Indiana when 9 years old, and grew to manhood in Clay county, that state, where, in September, 1856, he married Miss Peachy Sampson. He and his bride came to Nodaway township the same fall. With them were Mr. and Mrs; Edmonds parents and his brothers and sisters with the exception of one brother, Berk Edmonds, who had preceded them to Page county. The trip from Indiana to Nodaway township, was made in covered wagons. On "arrival' in this township Mr. and Mrs Alfonso Edmonds settled on a farm of eighty acres about two miles northeast of Clarinda, which Mr. Edmonds had entered from the United States government, the previous year,when he had made a trip to Iowa, then corning, also, in a covered wagon, and returning to Indiana the same way.
On his first trip to Iowa Mr. Edmonds met John Green, an Indian chief, and members of his tribe at Grand river in this state, and had an interesting and somewhat trying time to get the Indian chief to show him across that river. On his second arrival, when he and his wife settled on their eighty acre farm he split rails to be used in fencing the place, and built a log house on it, which had'a mud chimney. After living on ,the farm, for two years Mr. Edmonds bought a farm of forty acres one half mile west of it, where he lived until 1882, when he sold the forty acres and bought of T. T. Pendergraft eighty acres on the east side of Wall Street, four miles north of Clarinda, where he lived for five years, when he bought 160 acres one mile south; also on Wall Street, on the west side of the road—the T.B. Merrill place—to which he moved and where he thereafter made his home until he died. Mrs. Edmonds died in January, 1893. Four children survive them: Warren Edmonds, on Wall Street; Amanda, wife of H. S. Stafford, Nebraska township; Myra, wife of G. E. Smith, Carthage, Mo., and O. V. Edmonds, living on the place where his father died. In 1903 C. V., Edmonds bought the personal property of his father and continued the farming on his father's land. Although Alfonso Edmonds in one way retired in 1903 from his lifelong occupation of farming he notwithstanding took much interest in his home farm and farming thereon to the last.
Surviving relatives, others than those previously mentioned, include a brother, Thomas Edmonds of Nodaway township, and a sister, Mrs. Mary Owens, widow of George Owens, formerly of Nebraska township, now living at Brush, Colo.
The funeral of Alfonso Edmonds was held from the family home Friday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Abram S. Woodard, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church. The singers were J. T. D. Keener, Otis Lucas, Charles Lankert and Charles Keeran. The hymns they sang were: "Art Thou Weary?" "The Lord Is My Shepherd" and "Savior, Comfort Me." The pallbearers were long neighbors of the deceased: C. T. Houston, Lewis Annan, J. H. Grebert, Charles Williams, Noah McCowen and Alex Shum. Interment was in the Edmonds family lot in the Clarinda cemetery, beside the grave of the wife and mother who had gone before. CLARINDA JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, Feb 24, 1916

A few days after their marriage, Mr. Edmonds came with his bride to Page county, Iowa. Here he entered eighty acres of land on the Nodaway river and with characteristic energy began the development and improvement of his place on which he lived until 1868. Thereafter he resided on several different farms in Page county and since 1887 he has made his home on Wall Street.

Smith of Carthage, Mo., and he is also survived by eight grand children and three great grandchildren.

He took great pleasure in recalling memories of his old friends when unable to be with them.

The father died of wounds during the early months of the Civil war, leaving the widow and family of two boys and three girls largely to their own resources under which conditions many grew to represent those sterling qualities characteristic to that period. On March 6, 1879, he was united in marriage to Miss Mattie K. White, to which union two children were born, the son passing to the great beyond in infancy. During the eighties the family moved from Iowa to Nemaha county, Neb., and in 1894 came to Chino, Calif., near which place he has resided continuously until called to his reward during the early morning of Feb. 11, 1919. The deceased was converted to the Christian faith at sixteen years of age and a member of the First Methodist Episcopal church of Chino.

Edwards, W.W. - Mrs. Lorance Lisle was called to Leipsic, Ohio, Wednesday evening by a telegram announcing the sudden death of her father, W. W. Edwards, who had been ailing for several months from acute diabetis. Mrs. W. A. Turner accompanied Mrs. Lisle and eight months old baby on the sad errand. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, May 22, 1913

Death of W. W. Edwards.
The friends of Ruth Edwards Lisle, who learned in our last week's issue of her sudden departure for Ohio, being called there by a telegram announcing the sudden death of her father, will be interested in the following clipping from the Toledo Blade. Mr. Edwards' home was in Leipsic, O., which was only a few miles south of Toledo. The funeral occurred at Leipsic on Tuesday. Mrs. W. A. Turner accompanied Mrs. Lisle to Ohio and is expected home soon.
"Activities which made William W. Edwards, aged 66, one of the biggest figures in northwestern Ohio banking and financial circles were continued until within half an hour of his death at 4:15 Wednesday afternoon on a Nebraska and Lagrange street car on Summit street.
"Mr. Edwards had just left the National Bank of Commerce, Madison and St. Clair streets, of which he was vice president and largest individual stockholder and where he had the headquarters of his extensive business operations and had boarded the street car to go to the Ohio electric station to take a car for his home in Leipsic. Near Jefferson avenue he was stricken with heart trouble and death apparently was instantaneous.
"The two other passengers were hurried from the car, which was run on a spur track at Monroe street. Physicians who were called worked over Mr. Edwards for an hour. The dead financier had complained during the day of pain in his heart. He had been treated for diabetes and his business associates believe that his unremitting toil had an effect of hastening the end.
"Extensive manufacturer of barrel staves when timber lands were plentiful in the neighborhood of Leipsic and Continantal, and when there was a great demand for the independent product from the sugar industry, laid the foundation of Mr. Edwards' fortune. The Buckeye Stave Co., of which he was president, was organized in 1886 and for a number of years operated six factories in this section of the state and Michigan. It still has one mill at Gladstone, Mich. As the timber was cleared off the mills were closed down and the company developed its extensive land holdings for agricultural purposes. In 1877 the company purchased the Bank of Leipsic, of which Mr. Edwards was president since 1901 and which, rated for more than $1,000,000, is one of the largest private banks of the state. The Buckeye National Bank of Findlay, formerly the Farmers National, was purchased by Mr. Edwards when, hit by the panic of    1897, the bank's    stock was worth but 60 cents on the dollar. It was developed under his direction until, bankers say, the stock is worth two and a half times par. Mr. Edwards also was president of the bank of Continental. He also had large timber holdings in California and Oregon.
"Associates say that it was characteristic of Mr. Edwards' unassuming nature that he made, no display of his wealth, but his interests in Toledo were extensive, and his business reputation was such that his name gave substance to enterprises in which he engaged.
"He entered the Toledo banking field 12 years ago, when he purchased the Horace Holcomb estate's share in the Holcomb National Bank which later became the National Bank of Toledo. When this bank was merged with the National Bank of Commerce in 1907, Mr. Edwards became the owner of one-eighth interest in the merged institution and has been vice president since.
"Mr. Edwards was a large stock­holder and director of the Toledo Machine and Tool Co., of the East Side Iron Elevator Co., and a stockholder of the Toledo Metal Wheel Co., and the Toledo Linseed Oil Co. For several years he had his office in the National Bank of Commerce, making the trip daily from his home in Leipsic, but had intended removing to this city and leaving his outside business affairs to his son, E. C. Edwards, vice president of the Buckeye National Bank at Findlay.
"Mr. Edwards was born in Licking county December 19, 1847. He began to teach school when he was 17 years of age in Putnam county, where his family moved when he was 14. For 12 years prior to his removal to Leipsic, where he entered the hardware business in 1882, he had engaged in farming and stock raising.
"A wife and six children survive. The young daughter, Catherine, is a student at Smead school in Toledo. A son, Anderson, 13, is at home. The other children are: E. C. Edwards, Findlay; Mrs. Barton Emery, Defiance; Mrs. Maud Spencer, McCloud, Calif., and Mrs. Ruth Lisle, Leipsic.
"The body was taken to Leipsic Thursday noon." CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, May 29, 1913

A. H. Eller died at his home in this city Thursday afternoon., Sept. 14, 1911, aged 63 years and 4 months.
Mr. Eller was a former prominent citizen of Jefferson county, Iowa, being engaged in farming and fine stock raising.    He spent the last year of his life in this city, making his home with Dr. C. B. Eller, his youngest son.   The last six months was a happy season of sweet, repose and he passed into eternity sustained and soothed. With life's crown well worn, Life's race well run, Life's work well done.
Mr. Eller spent the first six years of his life in Wilkes county, North Carolina, with his parents, John and Mary Jane Ellers. At this place he received that good teaching that made him a follower of Christ. His grandfather was one of the Puritan type who had many years before escaped to America to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience, and was a minister of the gospel. The family emigrated to Jefferson county, Iowa, in 1854, where the son grew to manhood, uniting with the Forest Home Baptist church at an early age. He then began a struggle against poverty to acquire an education and by self propelling and great sacrifice, attending Parsons college at Fairfield and Bella university. He then began a very successful school teaching career lasting fourteen years, during which time he was married to Lucy J. Peck, daughter of Capt W. D. Peck.

God destined him to be a noble father and educator, for his great aim was to look well to the education of his children. To this union was born nine children: Dr. Cecil L. Eller, of Hedrick, la.; Attorney Chester J. Eller, of Des Moines, la.; Winthrop D. Eller, deceased; Mrs. Nellie M. Steele, of Hartley, la.; Dr. Lloyd R. Eller, of Anita, la.; Mrs. Lillians R. Fox, of Sumpter, Ore.; Mrs. Mollie G. Forrest, of Redlands, Calif.; Dr. Clyde B. Eller, of Clarinda, la., and Mrs. Clara B. Gamble, of Linby, la., all being present at his burial except Mrs. Fox, of Sumpter, Ore.
Mr. Eller made many dear and lasting friends by presenting his duties in an affable manner and all difficulties were surmounted by his sweet simplicity, loving personality and unfaltering faith in a divine assistance. There was in him that natural something which made all who associates with him better. Therefore he could say with the saints of old, "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith, henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness which the Lord the righteous judge shall give us at that day; and not to me only but to all them that love his appearing."
A short service was conducted at his late home in Clarinda by Rev. R. A. Cameron, where the four brothers met and conveyed the body to Hedrick, Iowa, near his old home. The funeral was conducted at Farson, la., by Rev. R. A. Cameron, of Clarinda, and Rev. Chas. C. Medbury, of Des Moines, la. Many sorrowing friends gathered on the beautiful hillside in the cemetery that marks his last resting place near the old church that held his membership and loving esteem until death. Rev. Dilly, pastor of the Farson Baptist church, said the last sad rites, at the grave. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Sep 21, 1911
