Obituary—Howard R. Wilson
Howard E. Wilson was born May 16, 1892, 3 miles north of Clarinda, Iowa, and died in the Presbyterian Hospital, Pittsburg, Pa. Dec. 30, 1916 All of his life, with the exception of three years spent in Colorado, have been spent in Page county. At the age of seven his parents moved to Coin where they continued to reside till Howard reached the age of 15. Here he formed many warm friendships with his teachers and schoolmates. The family moved to Colorado where he again became one of a circle of choice friends, whose properity and interests have ever since been a source of pleasure and satisfaction. In 1910, returning to Page county, his life has been spent among us. Howard was strong in his friendships, patient , and painstaking in his work. His was a gospel of action instead of theory; it was a pleasure of minister to those he loved. He was particularly appreciative of kindness.
"Blessed are they who have the gift of making friends, for it is one of God's best gifts. It involves many things, but above all the power of going out for one's self, and appreciating whatever is noble and loving in another."
He became a member of the church while in Coin, under the ministry of D. M. Davis, and at Ft Morgan was a member of the Young Men's Bible Class, conducted by Mr. Cross, which was a source of uplift and strength. In Clarinda he transferred his membership to the United Presbyterian church, later at College Springs.
The funeral services were held from the home Thursday at 12 o'clock, conducted by his pastor, Rev. N. J. Calhoun, and the remains laid to rest in the Clarinda cemetery— Current. Press. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Jan 18, 1917

OBITUARY
JAMES WILSON
James Wilson was born in Fintona, Tyrone county, Ireland, in the year 1832. His father's family consisted of four sons and three daughters, four of whom survive him.
In the year 1856 he emigrated to America, settling in New York City. In 1859 he was married to Margaret Louden, who survives him. They resided in New York until their oldest son was eleven months old, when they removed to Illinois, thence to Iowa locating in Des Moines county. Mr. Wilson's parents were members of the Methodist Episcopal church and in that communion young James was baptised. It was while living in Des Moines county that Mr. Wilson made a public confession of faith in Christ and united with the Reformed Presbyterian church. In a few years they removed to Wayne county, where twenty-two years of his life were spent.
In 1891 the family removed to Page county and for ten years Mr. Wilson has been one of Page county's most worthy citizens. He was the father of nine children. Three have died—two in infancy and one in his sixteenth years. The children who survive are: William, James, Robert, Jennie, Andrew and Clarke. All have been with their father frequently of late and were present at his death bed except the son James, who resides in California. Four grand children also remain. Mr. Wilson was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and was faithful and devoted to all her interests.
For months he has been ripening for the heavenly harvest.   He gave evidence of readiness and willingness to depart whenever God should see fit to call him.    He was only waiting for the Master's summons. Sabbath morning, Oct. 6th, a few minutes after six o'clock the spirit left the tenement of clay and returned to God who gave it, and on Monday afternoon his mortal remains were consigned to the grave, the funeral services being conducted by his pastor, Rev. E. E. IlgenFritz.    We bow in humble submission to God's providence in removing our brother and friend and commend the bereaved and sorrowing ones to the God of all comfort and grace.

Wilson, Roy, Mrs - FATAL ACCIDENT AT BLANCHARD.
Mrs. Roy Wilson Is Killed by Discharge of Gun.
The Blanchard correspondent of The Journal writes the following report:
One of the most shocking accidents that has happened in our community for some time occurred at the home of J. A. Walkinshaw south of town, Monday evening about 7:15.
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Walkinshaw had gone to take their daughter, Miss Helen, a nurse, to the train at Westboro, Mo., who was returning to Chicago, to her work in a hospital where she will graduate soon.
Dr. and Mrs. Wilson of Chicago, another daughter, and two children remaining at home, expecting to stay a few days longer.
Mrs. Wilson was reading by the table and Mr. Wilson was working with a gun, when the children in another room had a little trouble.
He laid the gun on the table and went to see the cause and hearing the discharge of a gun rushed to the door and found his wife had been killed instantly. It is thought she tried to move the gun and probably struck the trigger against the table.
It will probably never be known just how the accident occurred.
Mrs. Wilson was born on a farm one mile south of town and grew to young womanhood here, was a graduate of the Blanchard high school and was well liked by everyone who knew her. She was married in June, 1915, to Dr. Roy Wilson, dentist, of Chicago, where they have since made their home. She leaves a husband, two children, Junior, aged 5, and Helen Jane, aged 3; her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Walkinshaw, a sister, Miss Helen Walkinshaw, of Chicago, and a brother, John Walkinshaw, who recently went to Providence, R. I., with his wife and little daughter; several relatives and a great many friends to mourn their loss.
Funeral services were held at the Reformed Presbyterian church Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock conducted by Rev. Mr. Coleman, pastor. She will be laid to rest in the Blanchard cemetery.

Samuel Wineinger of New Market Died Sunday—-Oldest Resident in Southwestern Iowa.

Ninety-five years and three months is a long time to live—-nearly double the ordinary length of life; yet such is the age of southwestern Iowa's oldest resident, Samuel Wineinger, who for sixty years past has been a resident in Taylor county, Iowa, and who passed away peacefully at his home in New Market at three o'clock Sunday morning.
It was away back in 18I8 that Mr. Wineinger was born in Tennessee.    In 1840 he moved with his parents to Indiana, where he was married, and in 1854   moved to Taylor county, Iowa, then a trackless prairie, and   for   sixty years has lived in or within   four miles of New Market, being one of the pioneers who helped to make this country the garden spot of earth. The lure of the west has had no call for him; Iowa was good enough. Of late years he    has    been too feeble to mingle much in affairs, but in his day was a most prominent citizen and one of the makers of the west.   His eldest son is now  59  years of age.    His first wife died  21  years ago, and his second wife 9 years ago. Seven children     survive     him, four boys add three girls,   several of them past fifty, the names being as follows: George W. of Osborne county, Kans.; S. L. living south of New Market; C. J. of Dunlap, la., and J. C., Carter, S. D.; and the daughters' names, Mrs. Margaret Culbertson of Long Beach, Calif..; Mrs. Mary Blagrave, Daykin, Neb.; Mrs.. Martha Manley of Cleo, Okla.
The funeral took place Tuesday at 2 p. m., from the Methodist Episcopal church in New Market. All the children were here except the son in Kansas and the daughter in Nebraska, who were unable to come. A grandson, was also present, Frank Wineinger, of Omaha.

Winger, Harley - Jacob Winger has received a telegram that the body of his son, Harley Winger, who died overseas in the World war, has been received in New York city, and that he would be advised by telegraph when the body would be shipped home. CLARINDA JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, Sep 23, 1920

Winger, Harley A. and Raymond -

Body of Harley Winger, Who Died Overseas, Is Brought Home for Final Honor.
The second one of Page county's men who died overseas while in the service was laid to rest at home, when the final honors of a hero was paid to the body of Harley Winger Tuesday afternoon at the Presbyterian church.
The body arrived in Clarinda Saturday afternoon and was taken to Harmon's Funeral Home where it remained until the service Tuesday.
The service was largely military, Sergy Post furnishing the firing squad and a number of the Post men attending in a body.
Miss Carrie Loranz and Mrs. Emma Humphrey sang appropriate selections and Dr. Marshall in a few well chosen words very fitttingly treated of the sacrifice Harley had made for his country.
The service was exceptionally touching in that the family have lost two boys in the service, Raymond, who died at home of the flu just one week following Harley's death and as they allowed no open services then, and this was more or less for both.
The procession to the cemetery was headed by the colors, the Volunteer band playing the slow funeral march,  the hearse flanked by the uniformed pall bearers.   At the grave Rev.    Marshall    pronounced the final    benediction,    the    firing squad headed by Jack Brandon and composed   of the following: Bert York, Gene Loudon, Glen Davidson, Abel   Greenway,    Harry Morgan, Glen Ellett, Stein Damewood,   and Roy Thompson, fired three volleys, and after taps had been blown, the body   still   covered   by   the large American flag, was lowered to its final resting place.
The pall bearers were ex-service men picked by the family as special friends of Harley's. They were Everett Anderson, Clare Cagley, Arthur Wolf, Carl Raper, Wilbur Winger, and Raleigh Spoor.
Harley A. Winger was born in Page county Sept. 17, 1895, and died Oct. 8, 1918 in France, in the service of his country. He entered service July 26, 1918, going first to Camp Pike for six weeks, then for a short time to Camp Merritt, and then overseas. On the voyage over the influenza attacked him and he died from pneumonia just four days after landing, on Oct. 4. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Oct 7, 1920

Military Funeral Is Held.
The funeral service in his home county of Harley A. Winger of Harlan township, Page county, who died in his country's service over in France, was held at the Presbyterian church in Clarinda, Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by the pastor, Dr. A. B. Marshall, and with military honors by World war soldiers under the auspices of Sergy post of the American Legion. The remains arrived in Clarinda, from France, last Saturday, and were at the Harmon Funeral Home after their arrival until time for the funeral, when the casket was conveyed to the church, and from thence to the Clarinda cemetery under military escort. The casket was covered with the American flag and there were many flowers. The church was comfortably filled for the service with relatives, friends and soldiers. Dr. Marshall's sermon was sympathetic and patriotic. The service was in large measure a double one, for Harley and his brother who died about the same time as the soldier boy. The singers were Miss Carrie Loranz and Mrs. Emma Humphrey. Mrs. Henry Loranz was at the organ. The hymns sung were "Thy Will Be Done," and" "Jesus, Lover of My Soul." The band music with the Legion was by a picked up band that furnished appropriate music under the leadership of Carl Phillips. The usual firing squad was in attendance. Altogether the service was very impressive, and although one in which sorrow entered very largely, was an event long to be remembered as a fitting tribute to two estimable young men. At the church the pastor read the following:
"Harley A. Winger was born in Page county, Sept. 17; 1895, and died Oct. 8, 1918, in France, in the service of his country in the World war. He entered service July 26, 1918, going first to Camp Pike for six weeks, then for a short time to Camp Merritt and across to the other side. On the way over the influenza attacked him and he died of pneumonia just four days after landing in France, Oct. 4. From boyhood Harley was frank and honest, quick to shoulder a hard task; strong and manly and one who made friends wherever he went, The last year before going into service he worked for the Spoor family near Elmo, Mo., and they have only words of praise for this young man who has made the supreme sacrifice. Mrs. Spoor has written the following in regard to him: "He came to our house and stayed a year before the draft took him. Harley never professed religion to my knowledge, but was very good hearted and to know him was to love him. He was ever ready to lend a helding hand to neighbors and to do all he could in time of need. After our own boy went to war, he took his place in every way it was possible for him to, and when Mr. Spoor was gone the work on the farm went on the same as if he were there. Taking it all in all he was the best boy we ever had on the place among many hands.' "

"Raymond A. Winger was born Nov. 24, 1897, and died Oct. 15, 1918. With his brother Harley he grew into manhood in our community, going to the Lee Grove school, and developing in courage and strength with the years. Raymond's death here occurred just a week after Harley's death across the ocean and the word had not yet come of it. Raymond was very eager to do his part in the ranks of those who offered their all for their country. He was among the first boys who volunteered from Clarinda, but was not accepted because he lacked a few inches of being tall enough.  Finally, though not qutie 21, he managed to be in the draft and was all ready to go when sickness came and he was called into the Great Beyond.
These brothers were much to each other in life, and, in death, it seems that we should remember them together. They leave a father, Jake Winger, of Harlan township; grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Winger
and Mr. and Mrs. John Cooper, and uncles and aunts. A host of friends and, in fact, the whole community join with these relatives in love and respect for the memory of these brave boys." CLARINDA JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, Oct 7, 1920

Winger, Ray Alexander - Ray A. Winger, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Winger, who live southwest of Clarinda, died Tuesday, Oct. 15th, from typhiod fever at the Kennelworth hospital, where he had been taken for treatment. The funeral will be Friday afternoon, and will be just a short service at the grave by Rev. M. M. Cable. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Oct 17, 1918

The funeral of Raymond Alexander Winger, whose death was mentioned briefly in The Journal of Oct. 17, was held last Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, at the Clarinda cemetery, Rev. M. M. Cable, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church, officiating. It was an outdoor funeral owing to the restrictions prevailing in regard to indoor gatherings on account of influenza. Ray died Tuesday, Oct. 15, 1918, at 1:30 p.m., at . the Kennelworth hospital, where he was taken on account of having typhoid fever. The day of his death he was apparently so well that arrangements were being made to take him home, where he asked to be. He was in his room at the hospital dressing. He was left alone in his room to dress. When his nurse returned to the room he was found lying across the bed, life extinct. His death is attributed to weakness of the heart. He was born Nov. 24, 1897, in East River township, Page county, the son of Mr. and Mrs Jacob Winger. His home has always been either in East River or Harlan townships, and was in Harlan at the time of his death. He attended public schools in those two townships, worked on the farm, and this fall was employed on the bridge gang of the Shortline branch of the Burlington Route out of Clarinda. His brother Harley, who with the parents, survive him, is a soldier in France. Ray was very anxious to go to war for his country when Harley went. Ray wanted to enlist, but was rejected, lacking in height. So anxious was he to be in his nation's conflict that he registered as 21 years of age though lacking a little of being that old. He was possessed of that American patriotism which can know no defeat for this country. His grandparents on both sides have been spared to survive him. They are Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Winger of Harlan township and Mr. and Mrs. John Cooper of Clarinda. CLARINDA JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, Oct 24, 1918

Wise, James E.
Death of James E. Wise.
The following obituary of Mr. James E. Wise, a highly respected citizen of Nodaway, formerly a resident of Page county, will be of interest to many of our readers:
James Edward Wise was born in Monroe county, Ohio, Feb. 16, 1855, died at his home in Nodaway, Adams county, la., June 13, 1904, aged 49 years, 3 months, 27 days. He came to Page county in 1875. He was married to Miss Sarah Loranz of Clarinda, August 8,1878. To this union were born six children, two of whom died in infancy. Those living are Archie B., Fred L., Albert V. and Genevieve. He left three brothers and three sisters, John Will, Charlie, and Manning, all of Page county, Mrs. Will Orme, also of Page county, Mrs. E. E. Kuhn, of Lenox, and Mrs. Thomas Devoe, of Swazey, Ohio.
Mr. Wise had been sick since last fall with a disease of the brain which caused him at times intense suffering. An autopsy conducted by Messrs Williams, of Villisca, and Stanley, of this place revealed considerable disintegration of the base of the brain at the back, and several abscesses of considerable size, which finally resulted in his death, Mr. Wise united with the Methodist church at North Grove when a boy, and remained a member until moving to Nodaway when he united with the Presbyterian church, of which he was a member until his death. He was also a member of the A. O. U. W. at Villisca. He was an affectionate husband and father, and a man of much more than average ability and one highly respected in the community. Funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church in Nodaway Tuesday at one o'clock, a large concourse attending. The sermon was by the former pastor, Rev. J. K. Driver, of Villisca, from Job 14:14. The lesson was read by Rev. L. B. Carpenter, and prayer was offered by Rev. Rowley of Brooks. The floral offerings were profuse, and very beautiful, expressing more than words could, the universal sorrow, and the hope of a life beyond death.
The interment was in the family lot at North Grove, to which place a large procession followed the hearse, containing all that remained of a neighbor and friend. The casket was again opened at the cemetery to enable those who did not attend the funeral to view the corpse. Revs. Carpenter and Driver took part in the impressive services.—Nodaway Valley News.
