SAD BLOW TO .
THE COMMUNITY


The people of Audubon were
greatly shocked upon learning Sat
urday morning that Geo. Townsend
had died the night before, Only 9
few had heard Of his illness. It haG
been reported on the streets the day
before his death, that he was slowly
recovering from an illness that al
no time seemed to appear dangerous
For this reason, too, the news of his
death was all the more a surprise.
Mr.. Townsend became i'll the day
of the special city election. Later
the illness developed into pneumo.
mia. Word from the sick room was t.
the effect that he was recovering
Only a few hours before his death
he was able to talk with visitors, and
expressed the belief that he would
soon be about. ...
Mr.. Townsend had a host OF
friends. He made friends rapidly
and kept them. He came to Audi
bon when but boy and remained
here until the time of his death. His
efforts were always in the direction
of helping his home town and his
fellowmen. He was Industrious and
obliging and his departing from this
life will be mourned by many who
came to know him.
George w. Townsend was born in
Pennsylvania Aug. 81, 1859 and came
to Audubon county at the age of sew
en- years, upon the death of his
mother. He made his home with
his grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. JOS
epha McFadden. December 20, 1878
he was united in marriage to Miss
Lydia Hollenbeck and lived on the
farm until 1886 when the family
moved to the town of Audubon,
where he continued to reside until
his death which occurred Jan. 20,
1918, aged SIS years, months and
20 days. He leaves a widow and
three children, Mrs. Bessie Parks, OF
MarshalltOwn, Iowa; Mrs. Myrtle
Tinker, of Topeka, Kan. and Mrs.
Edith Henkle, Of Charleston, Ill.
Funeral services were held at the
Presbyterian church Monday after
noon at two o'clock conducted by
Rev. Greenlee. The deceased was a
member OF the Masonic, Odd Fellow
and Woodmen societies and large
delegation from each order attended
the funeral in q body. After the SER
vice, the Masons took charge and a
short ritualistic service was conduct
ed at the grave. Many floral Offer
ings were sent and in spite Of the
extreme winter weather, the church
edifice was crowded with sorrowing
friends who had come to pay their
