J. R. LANDES DIES
Civil War Veteran Succumbs at Home of His Daughter
With deep regret we note the passing away of one of Lucas county's pioneer citizens, Mr. Joseph R. Landes, which occured at the home of his daughter, Mrs. C. L. Brittel, on south Eighth street, on Saturday morning, June 18 1927, at the age of 86 years, 3 months and 2 days. He had been gradually declining in health for some time, and his demise was due to the infirmaties of old age. Funeral services, conducted by Rev. Geo. Brown, were held at St. Andrew's Episcopal church on Sunday afternoon at three o'clock, and on Monday morning the remains were taken to Marshalltown and laid to rest by the side of his wife who preceded him in death.
Joseph R. Landes, son of Joseph and Eva Weaver Landes, was born in Circleville, Ohio, on March 16, 1841. At the age of 10 years he came with his parents to Iowa, locating on a farm in Cedar township, where he grew to young manhood. On March 31, 1861. he was united in marriage to Miss Caroline M. Duckworth, who passed away on July 16, 1907. Six children were born to them, two of whom died in infancy. Those surviving are Mrs. Louis C. Kelsey, of Orange, California; Charles E. Landes, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Elmer E. Landes, of Van Buren, Arkansas; Mrs. Rose Pearl Brittell, of Chariton, Iowa. One brother, M. L. Landes, of Model, Colorado is also living. In the fall of 1861, Mr. Landes enlisted in the Civil War as a member of Company B, 6th Iowa Infantry, and served the entire four years, being the principal musician of the company. At the close of the war, he returned to this county where he resided until death claimed him. He served as sheriff of Lucas county for eight years, from 1880 to 1888. Since the death of his faithful companion twenty years ago, he has made his home with his daughter, Mrs. C. L. Brittell, except for short periods spent at the Soldiers Home in Marshalltown. He was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, and a number of his old comrades attended the last sad rites on Sunday afternoon. During his long residence here, Mr. Landes had won many friends by his genial disposition, and by whom he will be greatly missed as well as in the family circle. His passing away will be deplored by all, and the sympathy of the community will be extended to the bereaved ones.
