"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.
