JOSEPH SENIOR, 84, SUCCUMBS

Pioneer Settler Dies at Home Following Lingering Illness

Joseph Senior, one of Cerro Gordo county's pioneers, died Saturday afternoon at
his home, 122 Fifth street northeast, after an illness of several years. Death
followed a heart attack, the third in the last two years.

Mr. Senior was 84 years old and had lived in Cerro Gordo county since he was one
year old, coming to Portland township with his parents in 1855 from Kenosha,
Wis., where he was born.

The family moved to Mason City in 1863 but returned to the farm in 1871. Farming
was his vocation during most of his life and he owned two farms in Falls
township. He had lived in his present residence more than 20 years.

He is survived by his wife and two daughters, Mrs. August May, Mason City, and
Mrs. Walter Peck, Des Moines. Funeral arrangements have not yet been made. The
body was taken to the Major-Randall funeral home.
