Lone Tree Reporter, Thursday, November 5, 1925
Relatives and friends were grieved to learn of the recent death of Leslie Boies Mattoon of Salem, Iowa. The end came to him at the hospital in Mt. Pleasant where he had been for nearly a week, having been taken there to submit to an operation for ulcers of the stomach. The operation ently(?) he was getting along nicely was performed on Monday and apparently when pneumonia set in and he gradually and rapidly grew worse, passing away at 9:30 P. M. Sunday.
The remains of the young man were brought to Lone Tree on Monday and rested at the Mrs. Lucy Stonebarger home until Tuesday afternoon when the funeral services were held at the Reformed church conducted by the Rev. C. E. Holyoke, interment being made in the Lone Tree cemetery. Music was furnished by a quartette "consisting of Mrs. H. C. Buell, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Yakish and Chas A. Hacke, Mrs. Hacke presiding at the piano. The pallbearers were as follows Harold and Lewis Star, Adolph Koevening, C. J. Loehr, Harry Stonebarger and John Larew.
The following obituary was read at the service.
“Leslie Boies Mattoon was born November 5, 1889 at Elgin, Iowa where he grew to manhood and received his education. In 1909 he enlisted in the regular army and was assigned to the 160th company of Coast Artillery and was stationed at Ft. Stevens, Oregon. After serving his full time of enlistment he was honorably discharged in 1912 with the rank of corporal.
He was united in marriage with Edith Oglevee Jan. 1st, 1913, which union God blessed with three children.
The young couple located in Salem, lowa where Mr. Mattoon worked at his trade of painter and later as carpenter.
Mr. Mattoon was always apparently in good health. Sunday evening, Oct. 25th, about 10:30 o'clock he was taken with severe pains and on the advise of a specialist, was taken to a hospital in Mt. Pleasant where an operation was performed on Monday. He was getting along well until pneumonia set in some time Thursday night, from which time he grew gradually worse, passing away at 9:30 Sunday evening, November 1st, 1925, aged 36 years, lacking 4 days.
He is survived by his wife and three children, Boies Eugene, aged 11 years; Warren Leslie, aged 8 years and Virginia Louise, aged 5 years, his mother, Mrs. Lilly Mattoon of Elgin, Iowa and one sister, Mrs. Nellie Koevening of Postville, Iowa.
About 11 years ago he gave himself to Christ and united with the Congregational church since which time he has been an active member. He had no lodge affiliations, his home and his church occupying his entire time.”
The out-of-town relatives and friends who were here to attend the funeral services were as follows; Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Rawhouser and daughter Arlene of New Salem; Mrs. Lilly Mattoon and Eugene Star of Elgin, Iowa; Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Koevening of Postville, Iowa; Harold, Lewis and Rudy Star of Cedar Rapids; J. Long and Con Henry of Salem, Iowa; Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hinkel and daughter Marguerite, Mrs. Mart Eaton, Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Lippelgoose and son Earl of Muscatine.
The Reporter editor extends sympathy to the sorrowing wife and children in this extreme loss and in so doing, bespeaks the feeling of numerous Lone Tree friends. The casket was draped with the American flag in recognition of the service which he rendered to his country in time of peace.
While it seems sad to think of one so young and so much needed being called away, we must console ourselves with the satisfaction of the knowledge of the all wise Father and must come to realize that it is always “Not my will, but thine."
