(Paxton Record, Paxton, IL: Feb 8, 1923)
Mrs. W. C. Thompson received a telegram last Thursday night from Rowley, Iowa, which brought the sad news of the sudden death of her father, Mr. Miles Hand, which occurred at his home in that city. Mr and Mrs. Thompson, the latter's brother, Mr. Ray Hand, and Mr. P/A/ Clark a brother-in-law of the deceased left Paxton this afternoon for Iowa to attend the funeral.
The deceased has been in very good health, so far as the Paxton relatives have known and it will be remembered by our citizens that he was here for a lengthy visit last summer. He was a man of highest integrity and in his death the community has lost a valued citizen. Mr. Hand was a faithful member of the Methodist church. At the time of his death he was about 70 years of age.
Miles Hand was born in Licking Co. Ohio in 1847, a son of John and Magdeline Marple Hand. He served in Co. H, 76th Regiment Ohio Infantry during the Civil War; coming to McLean Co., IL soon after the war's end. In 1868 he married Sarah Clark in Bloomington, IL and they farmed in the Saybrook, IL area until 1876 when they moved to a farm in Button Twp, IL. In 1903 Mr. and Mrs. Hand moved to Rowley, Iowa where they spent the rest of their lives. They were the parents of 6 children, Letta, married William C. Thompson, L.J. Hand, a farmer in Buchanan Co., Iowa, Olin, a farmer in Buchanan Co., Iowa, Clark, a rancher in Shoshone, Idaho, Eva, wife of L.H. Beatly of Rowley, Iowa, and R. Raymond of Buchanan Co., Iowa.
