Obituary
Myron H. Angell died very suddenly at the home of his parents in
Postville, May 22nd, 1900, of rupture of a blood vessel in the
brain, aged 47 years, 4 months and 28 days. He was born in
Pennsylvania, Dec. 24th, 1852, came to Elkader, Iowa, with his
parents, in March, 1852. For the past thirty years his home has
been in Postville. His occupation has chiefly been railroading.
Besides his parents he leaves 2 brothers and 2 sisters to mourn
his loss. Genial and social among his friends, kind and
affectionate in his home, quick to resent an injury and just as
quick to forgive. He will be sadly missed in the home of the aged
couple who always watched for the coming of him upon whom they
leaned in their declining years.

flowers and otherwise contributed so freely and generously. We
appreciate your kindness.
Mr. and Mrs. D.M. Tripp,
