I believe this is from the Missouri Valley Times date about 29 Jan 1907. Claude/Claudius F. F. death certificate indicates he died 27 Jan 1907, but obit seems to indicate it was 29 Jan 1907 same day as his son Benjamin F. Porter. = Obit for C.F. F. Porter 29? Jan 1907 Missouri Valley Iowa C. F. F. Portor died at his farm home near Calhoun at 1:30 o'clock this morning, of pneumonia aged 69 years. The deceased moved to this county from Oregon three years ago, and had made a large circle of friends by kindly disposition and neiborly conduct. He leaves eight children to mourn his death. The funeral will be held from the Calhoun school house, Wednesday, at 10 o'clock and the remains will be buried in Calhoun county. Three other members are down with this pneumonia, one son being dangerously sick with the disease.
