DEATH OF AN OLD RESIDENT
Galen Soule Passes Away at Home In Hinton
Galen Soule one of the early settlers of Plymouth county, died on Tuesday at his home in Hinton, where he had lived the past few years since retiring from active farm life. Mr. Soule was a native of Michigan, and was born at Kalamazoo on May 1, 1843. He grew to manhood in his native state and when the war broke out volunteered and served in the army. Following the close of the war he came to Sioux City in 1867 and returned to Michigan. He came back to Iowa in 1870 and has since resided in this county. He homesteaded a piece of land in Lincoln township and passed the greater share of his life on the farm surrounded by his wife and happy family. He was united in marriage in 1874 to Sarah Sager, who was born and raised in the same place as he was.
After a long and useful life of honorable toll, intermingled with joys and sorrows, he laid down the cares of hard work and retired to live in Hinton to enjoy a well earned rest. he is survived by three daughters and two sons, who are Herbert Soule, Mrs. Lyda Knapp, Mrs. Victor Harrison, Mrs. John Kasper and Hermann Soule.
The funeral will be held at the First Methodist Church in Hinton this afternoon, Rev. A. Schiedler officiating.
Galon Soule was married to Sarah Ramona Sager on December 26, 1873 in Calhoun County, Michigan. They married again on January 7, 1874 in Plymouth County, Iowa. He was the son of Elizabeth Roxena Harrison and Aaron David Soule.
There is obviously a descrepancy between the obit and the headstone on his date of birth.
