OLD SETTLER AUDUBON CO. DIED IN COLORADO
The body of Lewis [sic] Anciaux arrived in Audubon Saturday Oct. 20th from his recent home near Peetz, Colorado. It was taken to the home of his son, Roy Anciaux in Greeley township, and the funeral was held the Sunday following at Bowman Chapel, services being conducted by Rev. Dove and the body laid to rest in the cemetery near the church.
Lewis [sic] Anciaux was born in Paris, France October 29, 1848. When he was eight years old his parents came to this country, bringing him with them. They settled in Johnson county, Iowa, where Lewis [sic] grew to manhood and was married April 14, 1877 to Miss Maria Hoover. About thirty-eight years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Anciaux moved to this county and settled in Greeley township, where they made their home for over thirty years. About seven years ago, they moved to Peetz, Colorado where they made their home until death called him, October seventeenth, 1917.
Mr. Anciaux was assisting in overseeing some work on the farm. They were erecting a windmill. Mr. Anciaux was not doing any heavy work as he had not been feeling very well for some time. He fell to the ground and kind hands rushed to his aid but he never breathed after they reached his side.
He leaves to mourn their loss his wife, seven children, 12 grandchildren, two brothers and two sisters and a multitude of very sympathetic friends. Mr. Anciaux was a most loyal citizen, a good neighbor, and a kind and devoted husband and father. He was liked by every one who knew him.
Audubon County never had a better citizen than Lewis [sic] Anciaux. He was a plain, everyday man that attracted friends and held them. Mrs. Anciaux accompanied the body here and is now here with her son. She has not yet decided what she will do.
The Journal extends sympathy to the bereaved relatives.
CARD OF THANKS
We take this means of thanking the neighbors and friends for their help and the beautiful flowers. Your kindness will be remembered.
