Thursday, December 25, 1919, [p. 1]
Obituary – S. J. Wentzel was born Nov. 2nd, 1844, and departed this life Dec. 19th 1919, being 75 years, 1 month and 17 days old. He was a native of Pennsylvania, Perry County, of Revolutionary stock. At the age of 20 he enlisted in Co. F, 208 Penn. Vol. Inf. serving until the close of the war. In 1870 he moved west, locating in Knox Co., Illinois, where he was united in marriage to Miss Angeline Cline. They began their domestic life on a rented farm, so continuing until coming in 1880 to Taylor County, Iowa, having purchased the home south of Clearfield where they continued to reside until some 6 years ago, when by reason of failing health they removed to town. Six children have blessed this home, Charles Ira, David Leroy, Laura May wife of F. L. Rood, Lydia Alice wife of Ed Grant, Lucinda Adell wife [of] Geo. Crane, Huntington Beach, California, and Mary F. who passed beyond at the age of 3. Mr. and Mrs. Wentzel united in fellowship with the United Presbyterian church in 1901 and are held in highest esteem. He has served his family, his country, his state and community well, "surely a prince has fallen this day in Israel."
The funeral services were held at United Presbyterian Church, Monday afternoon, conducted by the former pastor, Rev. T. R. Aikin. Ten members of Ed Otis Post G. A. R. were present. Interment followed in Clearfield Cemetery.

Veteran Dies
S. J. Wentzel, one of the fast passing roll of Civil War veterans, died at his home in Clearfield at about noon last Friday. He had been failing rapidly for some time, and his passing was not unexpected. About seven or eight years since Comrade Wentzel suffered a stroke of paralysis, and has been closely confined since. He endured his infirmity with patience and seemed to keep his sunny disposition. We give obituary elsewhere.
