Perry B. Deeter

Perry Boy Deeter, son of Cornelius H. and Sophronia Ward Deeter, was born September 8, 1874 in Miami County, Ohio and passed away at his home east of Norcatur on February 10, 1947, at the age of 72 years, 5 months and 2 days.

When a lad of 13 years he came with his parents to Norton county which had been his home ever since. On May 7, 1898, he was united in marriage to Pearl E. Reed at Norton, who preceded him in death of November 15, 1912. To this union five children were born: Cleta Wertenberger and C. Harold Deeter of Norcatur, Kansas; Clifford K. of Modesto, Calif; Ralph R. of Leavenworth and Mildred Clark of Sebastapol, Calif. On February 27, 1927 he was married to Eva Ward Holsinger at Portis.

Those surviving besides the above named children are: his wife, one stepdaughter, Melva Deeter, 19 grandchildren, one great grand-daughter, three sisters, Mrs. Rosa Towslee and Miss Clara Deeter of Norcatur and Mrs. Nina Nilson of Kansas City, Mo; three brothers, S. K. Deeter of Calvert, Kansas; Rev. W. R. Deeter of Udell, Iowa and W. K. Deeter of Independence, Mo; neices [sic], nephews, cousins and a host of friends. His parents, one sister, Mrs. Lina Erwin and one brother, J. W. Deeter, preceded him in death.

He was baptised at Portis, Kansas by his brother, Rev. W. R. Deeter, in the faith of the Church of the Brethern. He attended Sunday School and church at the Methodist Church at Norcatur as long as his health permitted. He was a member of the board of commissioners when the present court house was built and also spent many years as a member of the township and school boards. His entire life was spent on the farm, for the past ten years he has been unable to work and the past three months were spent upon a bed of illness. Through all of his sickness he was patient and thoughtful of others.

In his passing we lose a true and faithful husband, father and friend.

Funeral services were held at the Norcatur Methodist Church Wednesday, February 12, with Rev. Walter Berg in charge. Burial was made in the Colony cemetery.

CARD OF THANKS
The family wishes to thank all the neighbors and friends who assisted and who expressed their sympathy in many ways. Also for the beautiful flowers on the occasion of the death of our loved one. The family of PERRY DEETER.
