The Washington Republican Washington County Friday June 7, 1901 A Pioneer Gone. Geo. C. Penwell Passes Into The Great Beyond. For several weeks past it has been feared that the recovery of Geo. C. PENWELL was doubtful, and Thursday, May 30th, he breathed his last in his home on Ask Creek six miles southwest of Washington. His funeral was held at the home Sunday, June 2, largely attended. It was under the auspices of the A.F.&. A.M. assisted by the I.O.O.F. and G.A.R. all of which he was a worthy and faithful member. Dr. HENDERSON, of this city, had charge of the funeral service and spoke words of comfort and cheer for the sorrowing widow and only daughter. The body was brought to the cemetery south of this city for burial and the funeral procession was more than a mile in length. It was the last sad rites his neighbors and many friends paid to his memory, and their presence gave cheer and comfort to the bereaved family. Obituary: George C. PENWELL came from humble but noble parentage and was born in Elkhart, Ind. His age was 65 years, 4 months and 6 days. He remained in Elkhart till he grew to young manhood, spending his time as most boys did in those days, attending the common schools a few months in the cold weather and farming in the summer. He improved well al of his limited opprotunities both in and out of school. On March 29, 1860, he was married to Eliza FALKNER, in Shelbyville, Ill., and from this union three children were born, two dying in childhood. The other is a daughter, Mrs. Lillie M. DAMETZ. The forty-in years of married life for Mr. Penwell and wife was a brief span of conjugal happiness, unmarred by harsh words or bad deeds. The home life of Mr. Penwell is a bright page in his life's history, for he was a kind father and a sympathetic husband. During the darkest days of the country's history Mr. Penwell was found fighting for his flag, his country and his home. He enlisted in Co. K., 9th Kansas cavalry in 1862, but at that time was living in Iowa. He enlisted in Kansas to get in a company with his brother. He has a good war record and loved the old flag. At his funeral his casket was placed above the flag, and his comrades carried the stars and stripes to his last rest place. After the close of the war Mr. Penwell returned to his family in Iowa and went to farming. He soon caught the inspiration to own his own farm and saw that the opportunity lay farther west, so in 1869 he landed in this county and staked out the homestead where he lived till his death. He knew how to battle for ta subsistence in a new country and suffered many privations and hardships in the early history of the county, but being encouraged by a loving companion his courage never failed and the two came out victorious, by building up a home. George Penwell will long be remembered by his neighbors and friends as a good neighbor, a patriotic citizen and a kind husband and father. Card of Thanks. To the neighbors and friends who so kindly assisted us during the sickness and burial of our husband and father, we desire to return our sincere thanks. Mrs. G.C. Penwell and Children.
