This community was shocked last Friday morning by the announcement of the death of Brooks Ingalsbe, which occurred at the home of his parents in this city at about 3:40 o'clock. Although it was known that he was very sick, hope was entertained of his recovery and his death was a shock to all who knew him.
Brooks Samuel Ingalsbe was born in Pottawatomie county, Kansas a few miles west of this city. April 5, 1879, and died October 9, 1903, being a few months over 24 years of age. He was the eldest child of J. W. and Nettie Ingalsbe, and the greater portion of his life had been spent in this city.
Some time ago he accepted a position with Smith & Son, proprietors of the Omaha Cash Dry Goods store of Beatrice, Neb., and during his short stay there won a place of high esteem with his employers. A few weeks ago he began to complain of feeling badly, and the physicians deciding that he was threatened with typhoid fever advised that he go home where he could get better treatment, and accordingly Hal Wheeler, his friend, brought him home. Everything that medical skill and tender nursing could do was done for him, but the edict had gone forth form the Most High that he must leave us.
Brooks was well known here and had many friends. He was always a quiet, manly boy, and one who made friends readily and held them without effort. At one time he was a social member of the M. W. A., and belonged to the drill team.
The funeral services were held from the Congregational church at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon, and a large audience was present to pay a last tribute to the deceased. The pastor Rev. Simmons, delivered an appropriate sermon, and six members of the Woodmen degree team acted as pallbearers. The flowers and decorations were lavish and the service was very touching, there being few dry eyes in the large audience. Burial was in the Onaga cemetery.
Our hearts go out in sympathy to the parents, the brothers and sisters and relatives of the deceased, who are called to mourn one of their household who was in the very prime of vigorous young manhood, and one who was beloved and respected by all who knew him.
