Loyde Edward IRELAND, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ireland was born August 24, 1898. He has lived in Jackson county all his life except six years, when he lived in McPherson county. He attended the public schools and often expressed a desire to go to high school and secure a finer education. He was married March 25, 1922, to Bessie May SEGRIST, duaghter of Hattie G. and Fred L. Segrist of Buck's Grove neighborhood. His married life was very happy but very short, being only seven months. He came to the end of his earthly life unconcious of the approach of death, faithfully toiling in the path of humble service on Tuesday October 24, 1922. Loyde was a young man of cheerful countenance and delightful spirit. He was a friend to all he met. He wa a young man of exceptionally clean life and those who knew him best testify to his manliness and high moral qualities. Although he was not a church member, he believed in God, prayed daily, and several times expressed his intention to unite with the church. Let us fervently hope that he has gone to join the Church Triumphant around the throne of God whose love and mercy abideth forever. He leaves besides his wife and parents, five brothers, Charlie, Clarence, Francis, Harold and Raymond, and two sisters, Edith and Bessie; his grandmother, Mrs. C.W. CARTER of Holton, and many other relatives and a host of friends. The funeral services conducted by Rev. L.F. WARING were held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W.R. IRELAND Friday afternoon. A large crowd of sympathising friends were present to pay their last respects. Burial was in the Holton Cemetery. ==== KS-FOOTSTEPS Mailing List ==== File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/ks/jackson/obits/i/ireland970gob.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/ksfiles/ File size: 2.3 Kb
