Eli Laub Buried Saturday
Funeral Services of Former Denison Man Held at C.F. Kuehnle Home in Denison
Fair Denison received back to her bosom one of her own boys, with the return for burial on the hills overlooking this city, of Eli Clinton Laub. He was indeed a Denison boy as he was born here November 30, 1859, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Clay Laub, pioneer residents of this county. He attended the first schools, played on the Denison streets, was a scholar in the Methodist Sunday School when the number present could be readily counted with one sweep of the eye. On him fell the mantle of his father's love of merchandising, and after some time spent at Simpson and Cornell Colleges, he went to Chicago and was with the well known firm of Carson, Piere Scott as a clerk for several years. He thus set out on a career in the merchandising business well equipped in education and knowledge of business methods.
On June 27, 1893, he was married to Miss Grace Gillmor, one of the most charming of Denison's young ladies. Four children were born to this union: Helen, the wife of Maurice Benford of Los Angeles; Dorothy, the wife of Kenneth I. White of Brooklyn; Ruth, the wife of Dominie LaTora of Cheyenne, Wyoming; and Julia Katherine, aged thirteen. He also leaves two grandson and two granddaughters, a brother, William H. Laub of Denison and the following sisters: Mrs. Allie M. Ainsworth, Mrs. Katherine Perkins, the wife of Colonel William T. Perkins of Seattle, Washington, Dr. Anna L. Bartholomew of Chicago and Mrs. Carl F. Kuehnle of Denison. Two sisters, Mrs. J.B. Romans and Miss Belle Laub died some years ago.
Mr. Laub was for many years a merchant at Dunlap, Correctionville and Sioux City. The family moved to Boulder, Colorado, about six years ago where his daughters, Dorothy and Ruth, attended the Colorado University, Boulder. Helen had previously graduated from Iowa University. He moved to Denver about a year ago where he lived at the time of his death.
Eli, as he was called by all his local friends, was a natural born salesman. He had a pleasing personality, genial manners and was a great friend maker. Everybody who knew him, liked him. He was very polite and considerate of the welfare of his customers.
Death came to Mr. Laub suddenly on April 1, 1924. As a traveling salesman for a film firm, he was at Aberdeen, South Dakota, on business. With little warning, an attack of heart trouble came upon him while in a doctor's office which caused his death. Funeral services were held for the departed at the home of his sister, Mrs. Carl F. Kuehnle, Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. Carlson officiating and interment was made in the Laub family lot in Oakland Cemetery. The many and beautiful floral offerings sent by sorrowing friends from near and far away were a silent tribute of the honor and esteem in which the deceased was held.
