OBITUARY
 
Elroy Edwin Nokes was born in Franklin county, New York, November 7, 1859, and 
passed away at the home of his brother E. P. Nokes Tuesday afternoon, January 
1, 1930, at 3:30.  Death came very suddenly and unexpected after a few hours 
illness, caused from a stroke of paralysis.  He had been in poor health the 
past two years, having suffered two light strokes before this one.  He was 70 
years and two months old at the time of his death.
 
He spent his early life in New York, moving from there to Illinois where he 
lived several years and then moved to Iowa.  From Iowa he moved to Nebraska, 
where he lived to (two) years.  He was married in Missouri, his wife preceding 
him in death about 20 years ago.  When a young man he united with the 
Methodist church, and when he married, as his wife was a member of the Baptist 
church, he united with that church and has been an earnest and consistent 
worker ever since.
 
He has spend the past 18 years here at the home of his brother and wife.  
Besides this brother he leaves another brother, Elmer Nokes, of Nevada, Iowa, 
who was unable to come for the funeral.  He also leaves a large circle of 
friends in the community who will greatly miss him.
 
Funeral services were held from the Baptist church last Thursday afternoon, 
January 9th, at 2:30, conducted by Rev. M. L. Richman.  Interment was made in 
Park View cemetery in New Plymouth.
