Blue Rapids Times, Thursday, Aug. 15, 1889
Death of Wm. Paul

The sad news of the death of Wm. Paul, at his residence in this township,
reached this city on Tuesday morning. Mr. Paul located in this county in May,
1859, served his country in a Kansas regiment during the war, since which
he has resided upon his farm in our midst, and has been known as a good
citizen, and upright and honest man. He was one of the charter members of
Rob't Hale Post, and its first Senior-Vice Commander. For a year or two
past he had been afflicted with a cancer on his lip, which finally spread to his
throat, and for six months past he was confined to his bed -- a patient sufferer
-- at last released by death. He was a member of the M. E. church, and on
Tuesday afternoon the funeral services were held at the church in this city,
Rev. W. N. McHarg preaching the sermon, by request of the deceased. Mr.
McHarg being an old friend and acquaintance. He was assisted by the
pastor and Rev. Mr. Wilson, Chaplain of the 5th Dist. G. A. R. Rob't Hale
Post and a large number of friends were present. The family have the sympathy
of many friends.
