Henry Baldozier, one of the old time settlers of Indian Creek Township, died at his home five miles southeast of Hastings, early Saturday morning after a two weeks illness of pneumonia. He was taken very suddenly with the dread disease while he was about his duties at his farm and was stricken while alone in the pasture but managed to get to the house. Although everything possible was done for him, he was unable to withstand the ravages of the disease and succumbed to its effects as stated above.
The funeral was held from the late residence Sunday afternoon, March 19, at 2:30 and was very largely attended by his old friends and neighbors of whom he had a host.
Rev. M. A. Gable of the Malvern Methodist Church conducted the services and Mrs. N. W. Colling, Mrs. Mamie McKown, Mrs. George Shaw, and Chas Anderson sang. The pall bearers were Eli Judah, Sr., Jas F. Martin, N. W. Colling, George Shaw, Chas L. Shoemaker, and John Davidson. The remains were laid to rest in the South Grove Cemetery.
Henry Baldozier was the son of John and Elizabeth Baldozier, and was born in Jefferson County, Ohio, November 12, 1833. He moved with his parents to Jefferson County, Iowa in 1841, and located near Merrimac.
On February 13, 1860, he was married to Jane Ann Jay. Nine children were born to this union, five girls and four boys, of whom, two sons died in infancy and others survived him with the sorrowing widow. They are John A. and Ernest C. of Hastings, Mrs. Mira Ryan of Meadow Grove, Nebraska, Mrs. Lydia Cunning of Siam, Iowa, Mrs. Will Fleming of Henderson, and MRs. J. M. Weak of Malvern.
Mr. Baldozier served in Company D in the 31st Iowa Infantry in the Civil War and was an honorable and brave soldier.
They moved to Mills County in 1869 locating at White Cloud and in the spring of 1872 moved to the home farm where he spent the remainder of his life, beloved by his family and respected by all who knew him.
He was a member of the United Brethren Church when it had a class as South Grove and active in its work.
He was an honest, industrious citizen, a good friend and a kind neighbor and he leaves many friends in addition to the relatives to mourn his loss.
Our earnest sympathy is extended the family in their sorrow.
