EDWARD B. HALLS
Edward B. Halls, son of James J. and Annie Halls, was born in Whitebreast township, Lucas county, Iowa, on June 25, 1897, and passed from this life Feb. 4, 1943, at the Veteran's hospital in Woods, Wisconsin, at the age of 45 years, 7 months and 9 days.
He had been in ill health for several years entering the Veteran's hospital in Des Moines March 23, 1928, transferring in June of that year to the Veteran's administration at Woods, Wisc. His suffering for the past few months has been intense. But he bore it all without complaining as he bore the separation from his loved ones. All that medical skill and service could do was done, but to no avail.
He enlisted in the 48th regiment, Coast Artillery Corps in World War One and served six months overseas. He was honorably discharged in March, 1919. After spending the summer at home he went to Reed Point, Montana, and leased a ranch, putting in a crop, then returned to Iowa where on Jan. 31, 1920, he was united in marriage to Sara E. Pim. He took his bride to their ranch in Montana, where they lived until September, 1931, when they returned to Iowa, locating on a farm near Bethlehem in Wayne county, where the family still resides.
Four daughters were born to this union who, with his wife, survive. They are: Mrs. Audree Wishmeyer, Norma Evelyn, Gloria Lucille and Betty Maxine. He is also survived by his son-in-law, Gerold Wishmeyer and three grandchildren, Edward Eugene, Cathy Jeanette and Ralph Glen.
His parents preceded him in death several years ago. Two sisters and four brothers are living: Mrs. Ethel Foster, of Butte, Mont.; Mrs. Janie Allen and Thomas E. Halls, of Lucas; and James Halls, of Humeston; Albert Halls, of Derby; and Will Halls, of Reed Point, Mont. There are also several nieces and nephews and a host of neighbors and friends.
He had been a member of the Methodist church at Lucas since his youth. He was an honest, ambitious citizen, always willing to lend a helping hand whenever and wherever he was needed, and will be sadly missed by all.
Funeral services were held at the Dunshee & Son funeral home in Chariton on Sunday, Feb. 7, at 2 p.m., conducted by Rev. Archie Beals, of Russell. Interment was in the Chariton cemetery. Military services at the grave were conducted by the American Legion. Pallbearers were six of his neighbors, Orlie McMurry, Claude Grismore, Lester Dotts, Vernon Rose, Everett Boyce and Rule Scott.
