P. Nokes, Tuesday afternoon, January 7, at 3:30, following a few hours illness caused from a stroke of paralysis. He was 70 years and two months old at the time of his death. He had been in poor health for the past two years, having suffered a slight stroke before this. But his death came very suddenly and unexpectedly at the last. He lived in New York during his younger life. He moved fro New York to Illinois, and from there to Iowa where he lived a number of years. He was married in Missouri, his wife preceding him in death about 20 years ago. Since then he has made his home with his brother, coming here 18 years ago. When a young man he united with the Methodist church, and when he was married his wife was a member of the Baptist church so he united with that church and has been an earnest and consistent worker every since. Besides his brother E. P. Nokes, he leaves one brother, Elmer Nokes in Nevada, Iowa, who was unable to be present at the funeral. He also leaves a large circle of friends in this community who will miss him greatly. Funeral services were held from the Baptist church Thursday afternoon, January 9, at 2:30, conducted by Rev. M. L. Richman. Interment was made in Park View Cemetery in New Plymouth. CARD OF THANKS We take this method to express our heartfelt thanks to all who so kindly and lovingly assisted us during our bereavement in the loss of our dear brother, Elroy Nokes. Especially the beautiful songs and flowers. Your kind deeds will always be remembered. Mr. and Mrs. E. P.
