Beacon - 3 Jan 1902
Squire Henry H. Rist, one of the oldest residents of this vicinity, was found dead in his bed Saturday morning at his home 2 miles north of Tabor. Mr. Rist's wife died about a year ago, since when he has insisted on living alone on the home place, going for his meals to the house of a son, Henry, who lives a half mile east. Failing to come to breakfast Saturday morning as usual, his son became alarmed and went to the house. He had undressed and gone to bed in apparently good health. He was one of the first settlers in this part of Iowa, coming to Mills County in the early fifties and settled on the farm where he died. When he located in this region there were only 2 houses built between Sidney and Glenwood. He has lived to be over 80 years of age. Three sons are left to mourn his death, Mr. Jim Rist who lives north of Glenwood; Henry Rist who lives near the old home place and Mr. Jake Rist; also a niece, Mrs. Ed Hall, who made her home with her grandparents for a number of years. The deceased leaves considerable property to be divided among the heirs. Funeral was held Monday, conducted by Rev. Fiddler of Hillsdale, and interment made in the Tabor Cemetery beside the remains of his wife and three daughters.
