S. L. (Sam) Whannel, lifelong resident of the Traer community, died last Saturday morning in a Boone, Iowa hospital. He was hospitalized only eight days prior to his death but had been in failing health several months. During this time, he received the tender care of his daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Lester Carlson, living near Boone. The body was brought to the States Funeral Home in Traer, and funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon in the United Presbyterian church. The Rev. W. A. Thompson, pastor, was in charge. The male quartet composed of Franklin Earley, Donald Sears, Harris Henry and Robert P. Young Jr. sang, accompanied at the organ by Mrs. Thompson. Mrs. Peter Whannel, Mrs. Ralph Crawford and Mrs. Earl Griffith were in charge of flowers. Casket bearers were Dr. F. M. Henry, Harold Young, Warren Howard, R. P.

Samuel Lincoln Whannel, son of Peter and Janet Young Whannel, early settlers, was born in Crystal township October 6, 1868, and death came only one day after his 82nd birthday. He attended the Crystal No. 3 school in boyhood, and Western college in Toledo. He was married April 8, 1896, to Eva Belle Crawford of Garwin. They farmed in Crystal and Perry townships many years. They rented the Calderwood farm, east of Traer, for three years. Forty-one years ago, they bought the David Clark farm, southwest of town, and farmed it about 10 years. Mr. Whannel and family came to Traer in 1922, about a year after Mrs. Whannel's death. Sam was a Traer rural mail carrier several years. For 20 years, he lived with his sister, Marian in Traer until her death. The Traer community was ever home to Sam, and although welcome with his children he preferred to remain among us, occupying a rented room and boarding out, until ill health required the care of his daughter. Sam was a pillar in the church. He united with the Amity United Presbyterian church in Grant township as a boy but was a useful member of the Traer church most of his life and an elder and faithful attendant many years. He was genial, possessed a host of friends and was always good company.
Mr. Whannel leaves three children, Raymond, employed by the Navy in a civilian capacity at the submarine base at New London, Connecticut; Mrs. Florence (Lester) Carlson of Boone, Iowa; and Leonard of Jefferson, Iowa ; seven grandchildren; two great grandchildren; two sisters, Mrs. Margaret Houghton of Toledo; and Mrs. Jesse Houghton of Mason City; and a brother T. A. Whannel of Kimball, Minnesota. Preceding him in death were three sisters, Mrs. J. R. Henderson of Taopi, Minnesota; Marian of Traer; and Mrs. E. M. Mitchell of Reinbeck; and a half-brother, John A. Crawford of Traer.
