Obituary from Odebolt Chronicle November 13, 1902
Death of W. C. Paul.
William C. Paul died at an early hour last Thursday morning at his home in Odebolt. He was taken ill with catarrhal jaundice last spring and had an operation performed in June. For a
time he seemed, to be recovering his health, but a severe attack of congestion of the liver about a month ago prostrated him and he gradually failed until death relieved his sufferings. The deceased was born in Portsmouth, England, in 1846. When he was a lad of seven years his parents came to America settling in Platteville, Wisconsin, where in 1865 the subject of this sketch was married to Miss Hannah Biddick, who survives him, with four of the five
children born to them. In 1871 Mr. and Mrs. Paul came to Hardin county, Iowa,
where they remained until 1893, when they located in Wheeler township, this county. In 1901 they built a house in Odebolt and moved to town, leaving their sons to manage the farm. Funeral services were conducted in the M. E. church last Saturday by Rev. J. L. Whitney. Mr. Paul was a good citizen and enjoyed the respect and esteem of his neighbors.
