SHAMBAUGH RESIDENT DIES
Joseph L. Beery of Shambaugh passed away Friday March 28, at his home in that city, after a short illness from Spanish Influenza and resulting ailments. At the time of his death he was 50 years, 11 months and 16 days of age, having been born April 12, 1868, in Iowa. He was the son of Joseph and Elizabeth Beery, and his father was born in Ohio, coming to Iowa in the early days.

The funeral was held at the Church of God, at Shambaugh, Monday, March 31. The services were conducted by Rev. Wyatt. The body was laid to rest in the Clarinda cemetery. This was one of the largest funerals that have been held in Page county for quite a while, as Mr. Beery was very well known, and respected not only in his own community, but all over the county. He is survived by a wife, several children and grandchildren. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Apr 3, 1919

Joseph L. Beery, who died at his home in East River township last Friday night was well known, highly respected, and will be much missed in the community where he lived, and elsewhere. He was in Clarinda two weeks ago last Saturday, after having been confined to his home by illness with influenza. At that time he commented on how badly he was feeling and expressed the opinion that he was not long for this world. So it proved to be. Rev. G. W. Wyatt furnishes the following obituary for publication: "Joseph L. Beery was born April 12, 1868, in Page county, Iowa, at the old Beery homestead, on a part of which he resided at the time of his death, March 28, 1919 , at the age of 50 years 11 months and 16 days. He was the son of Joseph L. Beery and Elizabeth Boersther Beery. He was married to Miss Alma M. Calhoon. To this union were born eight children—three girls and five boys, who were all present during his illness. All was done that kind hands could do for his recovery but God saw fit to take him home. He was converted in 1892 at the age of 24 years and united with the Church of God, at Shambaugh. Living a consistent life he was a useful member and held an office during most of the entire time. He was a member of the church council at the time of his departure, in which he was kindly appreciated. He was a true and faithful husband, kind and loving father, a good neighbor and a useful citizen. He will not only be missed in his home and church, but in the entire community. He leaves to mourn their loss his faithful wife and loving children, Mrs. Ralph Young, formerly Florence; Olin R., Cecil L., Ray C, Elza L., Ina M.„ Earl J., Alma E.; one grandchild, Dorothy Marie Young, and being of fifteen children, six having preceded him, he leaves Ben of Cambridge, Nebr.; James of Shambaugh, Caleb of Paola, Kan.; Mahala Kunkel, Ogilvie, Minn., Sarah Thomas, Dakota; Michael, of Lancaster, Calif.; Julia Brown of Shambaugh, John of Hopkins, Mo., with a host of other relatives and friends. The funeral services were held by the writer and wife, with the assistance of four of his former pastors of the Church of God at Shambaugh, Elders Jesse Huddle, I. Ossmah, Wiseman Cabbage and L. Long; and J. H. Hess of the Mennonite church, with a well packed house of friends and relatives, at 2 p.m., Monday, March 31, and he was laid at rest in the Clarinda cemetery, to await the judgment morning.
