DEATH CLAIMS W. A. HOUSE
"Following a long illness, W. A. House died last Saturday night at the home of his sister, Mrs. Karl Schupp, of Reynolds, Missouri. The body was brought here for burial and funeral services were conducted Monday afternoon at the Methodist church by Rev. E. W. Elayer of North Dakota, a friend of the family and who was with Mr. House much of the time during the latter part of his illness.
Mr. House had been ill during the past two years with tuberculosis but was able to oversee work on his farm on Carter Creek until a few weeks ago. Having hopes that the change would do him good he went to the home of his sister in Reynolds County about a month ago, but the disease was too far advanced and he steadily weakened until the end, which came while he peacefully slept.
He leaves a widow, six children, a mother and brothers and sisters to mourn their loss in which this entire community joins, realizing that one of its most substantial citizens has passed away.
The local Masonic lodge, of which Mr. House was a member for several years, had charge of the funeral, and interment was in the Van Buren cemetery.
