William Walter Wentworth-
Wm. W. Wentworth, a life-long resident of Jackson County, passed away suddenly 
at his home north-east of Maquoketa, Friday morning. Funeral services were 
held Monday afternoon at the Carson-Balster funeral home with Mrs. Nellie 
Keeney, reader of the Christian Science church, reading bible scriptures. 
Interment was made at the Buckeye cemetery, north of Preston, with a prayer 
and scriptures given by the Jehovah Witnesses of Clinton.

William Walter Wentworth was born near Buckeye, Jackson county, Iowa, on March 
6, 1861, the son of Joseph Osborne and Euphemia Blair Wentworth. When about 
two years of age he came with his parents by ox team to a home east of 
Maquoketa, which was established in the early pioneer days. When about 32 
years of age he purchased land near the home of his parents, cleared the land 
and built the present home. On October 24, 1900, he was united in marriage to 
Miss Margaret Andersen and to this union three children were born: I. O. 
Wentworth, at home; Iola, now Mrs. Fred Mychalek and Blair Wentworth, who 
reside in the former home of his grandparents.

Mr. Wentworth had always followed the vocation of farming. He was 
exceptionally active for his age, having completed making his early garden 
recently. He took great pride in his garden work the past several years as he 
had not been able to do heavy farm work for some time.

Besides his wife and children, he also is survived by five grandchildren, and 
one sister, Mrs. Noah Cavaness of Southwest city, Mo., who, with many friends 
will sadly miss him from their midst. He was preceded in death by his parents, 
two sisters and one brother.
