Old-Time Newspaper Man in Iowa
City Passes Away--Leaves Scores

A telegram received by S. W. Fairall announces the death of Herbert S. Fairall, in Milwaukee, Wis., this morning.
Details are lacking, but the end must have come suddenly, as the family here knew nothing of the decedent's illness.
Mr. Fairall was 49 years of age and leaves a wife formerly Miss Lillian Adams of Big Grove, and a son and daughter, Dr. H. S. Fairall of Dear River. Minn., and Miss Henrietta Fairall, teacher in the schools at Iron River, Wis. Iron River was the home of Mr. Fairall, but he was traveling, in charge of the car, "Grassland," in the interest of the Northern Wisconsin Land association.
The decedent was one of the best known men in Iowa City and the state of Iowa for many years. He was prominent in newspaper and politican [sic] circles and was the owner and editor of the Daily and Weekly Reublican [sic] for many years. He was Iowa State Commissioner to the New Orleans Exposition.
Rev. Dr. H. H. Fairall, Judge S. H. Fairall, Mrs. Mattie I. Fickey, Mrs. May Fairall, of Iowa City and Chas. H. Fairall of West Branch, and Mrs. A. R. Hurd, of Chicago [sic], (now here), are brothers and sisters of the late editor.
The remains will be brought hither tomorrow night and the funeral arrangements will be announced later.

The floral offerings[?] were many[?] and ** ****. The citizens of Iron River sent a lovely wreath, to express their appreciation of the great loss their community had sustained.
* A Busy Life Ended.*
Mr. Fairall had spent a busy life in the service of his fellow citizens, here and elsewhere. He would have been 53 had he lived until July 27. He was a native of Keyser's Ridge, Md., and came hither as a child of eight. He grew to manhood in Iowa City, and received his education here. He was a graduate of S. U. I. in the colleges of Liberal Arts and Law, and also won his degree, Master of Arts, in the University of Iowa.
During many years of his life, Mr. Fairall was the owner and editor of the Iowa City Republican, which he made a model newspaper, ranking among Iowas best. He was conspicuous in newspaper circles throughout the state, and was well-known in other states. He was Iowa's commissioner to the New Orelan's exposition, and his labors in that field were fruitful of much honor to the Hawkeye state.
During the early years of the new century, he owned and edited ably the Superior Leader, in Superior, Wis. Later he removed to Iron River, where he became the secretary of the Northern Wisconsin Farmers association, an organization which he has made known throughout the Northwest, as one of the most successful of its kind ever formed. It was he who planned and executed during the past three years, the tours

At the state capitol, Mr. Fairall labored successfully to secure appropriations for his clientele, and the legislature responded generously to his pleas. In effecting the colonization of thinly settled Northern Wisconsin farm districts, he accomplished much, and in the days to come, there is no doubt, his efforts will be even better rewarded, though he cannot be there to behold the fruition of his hopes. Labors like his, in that particular direction, were as seed sown in good soil, yet their results are not always seen in a day. Thus, even more than the past, will make great the debt of gratitude Northern Wisconsin owes to Mrs. Fairall.
Mr. Fairall was married in 1876 to Miss Lillie S. Adams of Solon, Iowa. She survives, as do a son, Dr. H. S. Fairall, jr., of Deer River, Minn., and Miss Henrietta Fairall, for several years a teacher in the Wisconsin schools, and during the past year, her father's valued aide de camp, in his association work.
Although Mr. Fairall's last illness was brief, and the end came suddenly, while he was away from home the sad privilege was granted his wife to be with him at the end. She was called to Milwaukee (where he was stricken down) a few days before the final summons, and thus was at his side, when he breathed his last. He had been ill but a week a severe cold developing rapidly into l[?]obular pneumonia.
