The patriarch of the Iowa Munshower family.
Husband of Ellezan "Eliza" Bevans.
Father of Edson F., George, Mary, Lucien, Emma, Ida, and Emerson.
OBIT:
The Winfield Beacon. Thursday, Feb. 23, 1905.
Daniel Munshower was born August 17, 1829, in Westmoreland count, Pa., where he resided unit April 3, 1844, when he with his father emigrated to Galena, Ill. In 1845 they removed from there to Wisconsin where they resided until 1849, when his father with his family moved to Peoria, Ill.
On December 13, 1952, he married Ellizan Bevans. In the spring of 1869, they moved to a farm in Louisa county Iowa, near the Mid Prairie school house, and a mile and a half north of Marsh, where they resided until February 29, 1903, when, with his aged companion, he moved to Winfield, where he resided until the time of his death - February 15, 1905.
Father Munshower leaves an aged wife to mourn his departure, but the time may not be long when she too will be called to meet him in the home he was certain the Master was ready to welcome him. He also leaves six children that will miss him - E. F. , of Marsh; George, of Winfield; Lucian, of Clearfield; Mrs. Emma Sewell of Columbus Junction; Mrs. Ida Bice, Marsh; Emerson A., of Ft. Scott, Kansas; and Mary J., who died some years ago.
By the death of Father Munshower we lose an old and respected citizen from our community, and the church of which he was a member, a strong supporter.
He was converted and united with the M. E. church at Marsh, under the pastorate of Rev. D. C. Bevan, July 1, 1900. His conversion, tho' late in life, is worthy of note - having felt the joys of a new life in Christ, he did not rest until he had all of his children into the fold. Father and his wife who had been converted some years ago, with their children, were received into the church at the same time.
His faith and trust in his Saviour was strong all through his long illness, and as he neared the end of life and his friends were watching him, he lifted his hands toward Heaven and uttered the one word - "Home!" the last word he was able to speak.
The funeral services were held at the M. E. church in this place Saturday morning, Rev. Beavan, of Ottumwa, an old friend of the family, conducting the same, assisted by by the local ministers, in the presence of a house full of those who had gathered for the purpose of laying away all that remained of their old friend and neighbor. We were personally acquainted with the deceased and had always found him a friendly man, ready to do his part in the community where he lived for the betterment of all. He had a kind word for those he met and looked upon the bright side of life.
He had been confined to his home quite a long time by the sickness that finally closed his earthly career, and throughout the weary weeks he bore his suffering uncomplaingly and fully realized the approaching end was drawing daily nearer. His companion in life who is left to mourn, with her children, the loss of a loved one, is quite well along in years and will look forward to that time when she can join him in that home beyond the shadows of this earthly home.
