The Death of Will G. Riland

Will G. Riland was one of a family of six boys and three girls born to James 
and Mathilda Riland. Our subject’s birthplace was Pine Grove, Schuykill 
county, Pennsylvania; the time, February 21, 1849. Before the war the family 
moved to Monmouth and it was there that his father went forth to battle for 
the flag. He was twice married, his first wife being Miss Kate Teeple, who 
bore him two sons and a daughter, and died June 23, 1883. The boys died in 
infancy, while the daughter, Jessie, a most lovely girl succumbed to 
consumption on September 10th, 1896. November 5, 1890, he married Mary, the 
adopted daughter of the late Wilson Barnes. The widow, his brothers, Elmer and 
James of Omaha, Nebraska, and Aspen, Colorado, and sisters, Mrs. M. F. King of 
Florence, Nebraska, Mrs. Ida Brunsing of San Francisco, Mrs. Cora R. Hess of 
St. Louis-must share their grief, with all who had the honor of his 
acquaintance.

Friday, July 13, Mr. Riland was brought home from Waukesha, Wisconsin 
suffering from typhoid fever. Despite the best intention of skilled physicians 
and nurses, complications arose which terminated his existence at 2:45 o’clock 
yesterday morning. And that is all. He was born, lived a life and died. But 
that life was well lived and will be long remembered. Thursday afternoon at 2 
o’clock funeral services will be conducted by his pastor, Rev. F. F. Butler, 
assisted by his former pastor, Rev. Henry Clark of Creston, Iowa, will be held 
at the Baptist church. The funeral arrangements will be in charge of Peerless 
Lodge, No. 60, K of P, assisted by the Sons of Veterans and members of A. w. 
Drips Post, G. A. R. Interment at Buckhorn cemetery.
