R. Riley
Nathan
R. Riley was born in New Athens,
Harrison Co., Ohio, Feb. 8, 1845 and died at his home in Clearfield, May 15,
1925. He had lived to the ripe age of eighty years.
When
but five years of age his parents removed from the Ohio home to Washington
County, Iowa, where he resided until 1876. It was during that year he came to
Taylor Co., locating on a farm south of Conway where he resided until they
moved to Clearfield in 1894. The family has lived here since that date.
On
Sept. 8, 1870 he was united in marriage to Miss Adaline E. [Elizabeth
Adeline] Ginn. To them were born
five children, two sons and three daughters. Minnie L. Clark of Mt. Ayr, Wm. H. [arrison], who passed away a little more than two years ago; Alice M.
[ary] Lyddon and Katie B.
[elle] Hadden both of Clearfield; Howard E. of Los Angeles,
Calif. His wife, four children, eighteen grandchildren and sixteen great grand
children are the immediate mourning relatives, together with a sister, Mrs.
Mary Leider of Griswold, Iowa.
Mr.
Riley was reared in a home where
family worship was a part of the program twice daily. The old style worship was
his preference. He enjoyed the old hymns. He united with the Methodist church
in early manhood.
Mr.
Riley has been a resident of
Taylor Co. for forty-nine years, thirty years of that time being spent in
Clearfield. A genial, sunshiny disposition was his characteristic attitude, and
with his going a familiar figure drops out of the daily life of our little
city.
Funeral
services were held Sunday at 2 p. m. at the M. E. Church conducted by Rev.
Matthews. Interment was in Clearfield Cemetery.

While
not a record, the seventy-five years spent in Iowa by Mr. N. [athan] R.
Riley who died last week is a
long long time. Coming to the state in 1850, he saw a frontier commonwealth
grow into the empire of today. That was the year after the gold rush to
California, ten years before Lincoln was elected president, and at a time when
the population of the state was little over 200,000.
Mr.
N. [athan] R. Riley, one of the
oldest citizens of Taylor County in time of residence, died at his home just
after two Friday morning, of pneumonia. He was past 80 years of age. A complete
