For many years, until this work was taken over by the organized charities, he always gave well-filled baskets of food and clothing to the poor and needy at Christmas. He made yearly visits to the County Home, to make those who were unfortunate there a little happier with gifts of candy, fruit, magazines and other things. Despite his limited income, he has helped many with gifts and loans, asking nothing for himself in return.

At the age of 17 years he united with the Church of Christ in Taylor county, Iowa. After his removal to Page county, he attended and helped various churches, including the Christian, the United Brethren and the Methodist churches. When his health permitted, and till his hearing became more difficult, he attended the Methodist church with his children and grandchildren.

He will be greatly missed in this community, but our loss will be his gain. He will surely receive his just reward, here and hereafter.

The funeral services were conducted by the Rev W.H. Meredith, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church of Clarinda, at the Walker Funeral Home at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The burial was in Old Memory cemetery west of New Market, Iowa. The music was furnished by Mrs Forest Davidson and Mrs C.E. Hoskinson. The pallbearers were Jack Wenner, Clay Swisher, Chas.

She had been tenderly cared for during this time at the home of her daughter, Mrs Ronald Anderson, and family. She had been confined to their home for many months and suffered greatly with a malady that baffled medical science.

In her death the community loses a woman of many virtues and she will be sincerely mourned by all who ever came in contact with her.

Practically all her life had been spent in this immediate vicinity, and her many deeds of kindness and helpful administrations will long remain bright spots in the hearts and minds of countless numbers.

Ethel Pearl Shore, oldest daughter of the late Miles and Annie Reeves Shore, was born in Mitchell County, Kansas, near Beloit, Aug 19, 1884. At the age of six years she moved with her parents to Taylor County, Iowa, one-half mile east of New Market. Here she grew to womanhood, attending the New Market public school. She graduated from high school in the class of 1901. She attended Highland Park College in Des Moines and taught school in the rural schools and in the New Market school.

In early age, she confessed faith in her Saviour and united with the Methodist Church.

She was united in marriage to Oren C. Crawford on March 15, 1904. To this union three children were born. The oldest, Harry Robert, passed away at birth. The two living children are Kenneth Miles Crawford of Auburn, Calif, and Ethel Lucille Anderson of Durant, Ia.

Her husband's untimely death resulting from an accident occurred Dec 23, 1928. After the death of her husband she moved to New Market.

In 1929, she became a nurse in the Mental Health Institute at Clarinda, ministering daily to the ills and needs of mankind less fortunate. After a quarter century of service she retired and enjoyed her home life.

Mrs Crawford leaves to mourn her passing her son, Kenneth Crawford and wife Lucille, and grandson, Jack Crawford; her daughter, Ethel, and husband, Ronald Anderson and grandchildren, Joyce, Carl and Matthew Anderson.

She is survived by two sisters, Mrs T.A. Harris and Mrs G.R. Webb of New Market; one brother, Miles Victor Shore of Winter Haven, Fla, besides a number of nieces and nephews and a host of friends.

We shall miss her greatly, but in faith we trust Him who doeth all things well. Although her figure is gone, we find comfort in the words of the Author when he said "There is no death. Thy stars go down to shine upon some fairer shore and bright in Heaven's jeweled crown they shine forevermore."

Although she is gone from our sight, we will not forget her sweet lessons of love and purity which comfort our hearts with the thoughts that though she cannot return to us we may go to her and abide in the land where there is no parting and with all our grief and sorrow we look to Him who doeth all things well. "Thy way, Thy will be done." CLARINDA HERALD JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, Nov 2, 1959

Obituary
Mr John Aid, who had been hovering between life and death for the past two weeks, passed away at his home last Saturday night about nine o'clock. His life had been despaired of for some time and about all that could be done for him toward the last was to make the end as easy as possible for him and his loved ones.

Mr Aid had been engaged in the dray business in New Market for many years, being in partnership with his father, Mr S.B. Aid. He was always a faithful worker and any business entrusted to his care was sure of prompt and careful attention. During the past few years he has not been in the best of health and his strength had been gradually undermined until this last illness was more than he could conquer.

John Riley Aid, son of Stillman and Elba J. Aid, was born near New Market, Iowa, November 18, 1892, and departed this life May 17, 1930, being 37 years, 5 months and 29 days old.

He moved with his parents to New Market in 1910 and has since made this his home. On April 1, 1914, he was united in marriage to Miss Eva Robbins, of New Market. To this union were born three children, Marion, Irma and Nellie Jane, who, with their mother, are left to mourn the loss of a father's loving care.

He was a member of the Baptist church, having made a public confession of his faith in Christ, and united with the church here about three years ago.

He moved with his parents to Schuyler county, Illinois in 1849, where he grew to manhood. In 1867 he joined the regular army, serving as a soldier for three years. Upon being discharged from this service he returned to his parents who had removed to Wayne county, Iowa. In 1873 the family again removed to Page county, Iowa where he continued to reside until 1900 when he moved to Taylor county, Iowa where he lived until his death.

He was an active member of the local Odd Fellows and Masonic lodges whose fellowship he enjoyed and whose influence he sought to extend.

Mr Hipsley became a member of the Church of Christ of New Market by confession and baptism, February 9, 1921. He gave himself earnestly to the service of the Master. He was a man of more than ordinary ability and took an active part in the church work to which he remained faithful to the end.

Uncle Jerry, as he was known to his many friends, was a man of sterling integrity, a friend to every man, charitable, kind and thoughtful for the welfare of the distressed and needy.

Let us draw around his errors, what ever they may have been, the broad mantle of Christian charity, and remember only the virtues of the noble life he lived in the service of humanity. And so, may the sable curtain close around him and let him sleep quietly until the Great Master Builder shall awaken him on the glad morning of the resurrection.

The funeral services were held from the Church of Christ in New Market, Thursday, December 29, at 1:30 pm, conducted by Rev Hall of Clarinda, and assisted by Rev Osborn of New Market. Interment was made in the Clarinda cemetery, conducted by the local lodge of Odd Fellows.
