JOHN FRANKLIN PENICK
John Franklin Penick was born in Tuscarawas county, Ohio, December 25, 1839, and departed this life August 25, 1921, at the age of 81 years and 8 months, at his home in Derby, Iowa.
He was the sixth child of Jacob and Nancy Jones Penick, who moved with their family to Eddyville, Wapello county, Iowa in 1853. Mr. Penick was one of seven children, six sons and one daughter. He was preceded in death by his father, mother, five brothers and one sister. There is but one of the seven children surviving a beloved brother, Dr. Mark Penick, of Kinderhook, Ill.
Mr. Penick was united in marriage to Miss Diana Westfall on January 22, 1863. To them were born three sons, one of them, Haller, died in infancy. He is survived by his beloved wife and two sons, U. G. Penick of Derby and W. H. Penick of Chariton, and other relatives and a large circle of friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Penick and two sons moved to Lucas county in the spring of 1875, and a few months later settled on a farm 2 1/2 miles east of Derby. On this farm they lived until 1895, when they moved to Derby, where they have since lived.
Mr. Penick was converted in 1875 under the pastorate of Rev. Reuben Daily and united with the M. E. church in Derby. He has since been a consistent and faithful member of this church. For years he was a member of the official board. Mr. Penick often spoke of the joy in his heart as he recounted God's blessings.
For a little more than 53 years he and his faithful companion lived a happy life together. They lived for each other as true lovers journeying towards the sunset of their last happy day.
In his family affairs Mr. Penick has been a kind husband and father and always lived with the double motive of serving his family and making the world better. In the town and community his memory will be revered by those who survive him. For all of us a good friend and brother awaits just across the bar.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Harwood, assisted by J. S. Throckmorton at the M. E. church in Derby on Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, followed by interment in the Derby cemetery.
