WILFRED GILBERT DEAD
Wilfred Maurice Gilbert, youngest child of James B. and Alice Gilbert, was born near Tina, Carroll county, Mo., October 21, 1906, and passed from this life January 4, 1929, at the age of 22 years, 2 months and 14 days. With the family he remained in Carroll county, until he reached the age of 10 years, when the family made their residence near Peabody, Kansas. Here he finished the grade school and two years of high school. In 1923, with his parents, he moved to Jefferson, Iowa, where his last days in high school were spent.
Having been nurtured in the admonition of the Lord, he yielded obedience to the Gospel of Christ on October 5, 1924, was baptized into Him by Bro. A. R. Kepple and remained a faithful member of the Church of Christ. He early formed the habit of clean living which he retained unto the end of life. He was a stranger to youthful lusts in which so many young men engage. He was conscientiously industrious and economical. When health permitted, he was faithful in his church attendance. His reverence for God led him into the paths of righteousness and he never lost sight of the Christin's home. Through all his sickness and suffering it was comfort and peace.
He was stricken last January with appendicitis and on the 27th experienced a very serious operation. From this he partially recovered, but on August 16th passed through another painful operation. After being dismissed from the hospital, he was obliged to return twice for additional treatments. After final recovery from this madady and about the time he was able for light labor he was stricken with influenza Dec. 14th, which rapidly developed into double pneumonia. On the 18th he was removed the St. Anthony hospital at Carroll, Iowa. After lingering for many days between life and death, and in spite of all that medical science and loving hearts could do, his frail body gave way to the ordeal of death on the afternoon of January 4.
Among the immediate relatives who feel the irreparable loss are the father and mother, his only brother, Vernie M. and wife Jessie; his sisters, Mrs. Josie May Fiscus, and husband, Clifford, of Jefferson; Mrs. Tilla Blair and husband, Fred, of Harlan; and Miss Elda Hartwigsen, who had it not been for his sickness, would have been his bride on Christmas eve. Besides these, many other relatives and friends feel in his death the loss of a worthy friend.
Funeral services were conducted in the cha0el of the Church of Christ in Jefferson, January 7th, by Bro. J. C. Bunn, of Lawrence, Kansas, in the presence of many friends and relatives. Two cousins, Harold Trosper and Emmett Potts, from Breckenridge, Mo., were present at the funeral services. Many beaufiful floral tributes were given as a token of love and esteem. The body was laid to rest in the Jefferson cemetery.
The family wish to sincerely thank many friends and neighbors for evidences of love and kindness shown during the illness and after the death of their loved one.
