this city for nearly eighteen years, occurred Thursday, February 6th, at
his home on Main street. Mr. Malven was seventy-three years of age, his

Mrs. Harriet L. Martin who, with six children survive him. Mr. Malven
served through the Civil War as a member of the 5th Iowa Infantry and 7th
Iowa Cavalry. In private life his duties were as deputy sheriff for six
years under G. H. Odell and again for two years during the time R. W.

he was forced to remain at his home, and for the past few weeks was
critically ill. The services were in charge of the Rev. W. H. Ensign of
the First Presbyterian church, while an escort of the Militia, Company D,
attended the remains to the cemetery. The six children, J. W. and D. H.
