"MILES H. INMAN IS SUDDENLY CALLED. Passed Away at His Home North of Thurman While at Work Monday Morning."--Miles H. Inman died suddenly last Monday morning about 9 o'clock from over exertion or heart trouble. He was in apparent good health and was helping his son, Clyde, and others mow away hay in the barn at his home with his son about two miles north of Thurman. He sat down to rest for a minute and when next noticed he was lying down and life had passed quietly and peacefully away. The funeral services were held at Randolph on Wednesday at 2 p.m., conducted by Rev. C. H. Kindig of Thurman. Miles H. Inman was born February 19, 1844 near Parkman Village, Geauga county, Ohio, and passed away June 18, 1917, at the age of 73 years, 3 months and 29 days. At the age of 8 years he moved with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Inman, to Dane county, Wisconsin. On Nevember 15, 1866, he was married to Maggie Philo of Lakeview, Wisconsin, near which place they made their home until 1870, when he with his family, moved to Fremont county, Iowa, where he has since resided with the exception of one year spent in Nebraska for his wife's health. To this union were born six children, three dying in infancy. The remaining children are Frank D. of Sioux City; Oscar S. of Pacific Junction; and Clyde H. of Thurman, with whom he has made his for the past six years. Mr. Inman lived in Randolph 11 years, where his wife died, January 14, 1908, after a lingering illness of 20 years. Miles, as he was familiarly called, was known by nearly everyone, having bought stock for years in Fremont, Page, and Mills counties. He was loved and honored for his honest and upright dealings and counted his friends by the hundreds. Although he was no affiliated with any church, he has often expressed his faith in the divine being, reading his bible a great deal, often reading it to his little grandsons. Besides his children and grandchildren he leaves to mourn his death four brothers and one sister, namely, Norton of Blanche, Nebrska; M. and M. O. and Mrs. C. H. Fichter of Randolph. After the funeral services, the burial was delayed a few hours to await the arrival of Norton Inman of Blanche, Nebraska, who came on the evening train.

June 14, 1917.--"ANOTHER POPULAR COUPLE MARRIED. Miss Ione Chantry and John D. Ross, Jr., United in Matrimony in Sidney Last Thursday Evening". Oh, what is so rare as a day in June? .Then, if ever, come perfect days; Then Heaven tries Earth, if it be in tune, .And over it gently her warm ear lays. On Thursday evening, June 7, 1917, Miss Ione Virginia Chantry was given in marriage to John D. Ross, Jr. It was upon one of those rare June days which poets only can describe, which made a most charming and suitable setting for our fair June bride. The ceremony was performed at the home of the bride's father, A.L. Chantry, and was attended by numerous relatives and friends of the bride and groom, among whom were Hon. A. J. Chantry of Malvern, the bride's grandfather, and Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Ross, father and mother of the groom. Other guests from out of town were Mr. and Mrs. H.T. Beattle and children, of Malvern Mrs. C. L. Ellis of Tabor Mr. and Mrs. Forrest R. Chantry, of Malvern Mrs.M.A. Chantry, Allen and Edith, of Omaha Miss Ruth Chantry of Malvern Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Farwell of near Shenandoah Mr. and Mrs. Morton Graves, Ross, Lois of near Shenandoah Mr. and Mrs. Sheldon Hurlbutt and son of Tabor Mr. and Mrs. James Pullman of Randolph Mrs. Allen Ross and daughter of Wyoming Miss Josephine Ross, of near Shenandoah Mr. and Mrs. L. O. Ross of near Shenandoah Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Scott of near Shenandoah Mr. and Mrs. John Thomas of near Shenandoah Those present from Sidney were Rev. and Mrs. C. M. Ward, Mr. and Mrs. I.P. Dixon, Miss Glenne Dixon, Miss Helen Waterman and Miss Effie Crandal. The bride's two oldest brothers, Paul and Wendell, could not be present, as they are engaged in their country's service, one at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, the other in New York bay. The rooms were artistically decorated in yellow and white. The flowers used were yellow iris, and white bridal wreath. The bride was charmingly dressed in a gown of white lace, and wore a veil of white tulle which was the bridal veil of her aunt, Mrs. Lillian Beattle, who was married 11 years ago, and which has been worn on several like occasions in the family since that time. She carried a beautiful bouquet of home grown white flowers. The groom was handsomely attired in the conventional black. To the strains of Mendelsshohn's wedding march, Miss Lois Graves, the groom's niece, and Miss Ruth Chantry, cousin of the bride, assisted by Joe and Archie Chantry, brothers of the bride, entered and formed a ribbon aisle. Rev. C. M. Ward and the groom, followed by Miss Jean Beattle as ring bearer, proceeded to an arch of bridal wreath; then came the bride, attended by her father. The beautiful and impressive ring ceremony was used. Immediately following the ceremony, Miss Mildred Chantry, accompanied by Miss Lillian Chantry, sisters of the bride, sang "Because" after which a delightful two-course luncheon was served by Mrs. Marjorie Harrison, Miss Eva Holloway, Miss Ida Meyer and Miss Leona Watson. Amid congratulations and good byes the happy couple left for a short wedding trip. They will make their home at "The Elms", five miles northwest of Shenandoah. The bride is the eldest daughter of A. L. Chantry of Sidney, and the groom is the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Ross of Walnut township, well known early settlers of Fremont county. The numerous friends of both bride and groom wish them much joy and happiness throughout all their days.

William Dewey had been in the State for 13 years, inasmuch as he was an engineer on the Des Moines River Improvement Project during the 1840's. After being elected the senator for the state general assembly from southwestern Iowa, he used his knowledge of the Des Moines River project (when acting as the chairman of the Committee-of-the-Whole which had adjourned to consider the subject of removing the capitol from Iowa City to Des Moines) to swing the vote to come out in favor of this bill....When Col. Dewey died of illness during the Civil War, the city of Des Moines requested and was granted persmission to have the Colonel buried in the capitol instead of in Fremont county....I seems he lies forgotten in an old section of the Des Moines cemetery.
