Taps sounded for another Civil war veteran yesterday afternoon, when Alfred W. Starks passed to the Great Beyond, after an illness which extended over a period of five weeks. Mr. Starks had been in failing health for more than a year, previous to his death. Alfred Wesley Starks was born in Mooretown (?) New York, May 16, 1843, and would therefore have been 80 years of age his next birthday, had he lived. When a boy of 12 years, he removed with his parents to Waukegan, [Lake Co.] Illinois, where the family home was made for several years. Thereafter the family removed to Delton, [Sauk Co.] Wisconsin. It was in this town that Mr. Starks received his education in the public schools and later attended the academy at that town. Mr. Starks enlisted at Delton, November, 1861, in Co. E of the 12th Wisconsin infantry. He served his entire first enlistment of three years and he was discharged at the close of the war in 1865. Co E was under the leadership of Capt. Gillespie and saw service at Corinth, the battle of Vicksburg, the battle of Hatchie, Champion Hills, Baker Creek, and took part in the march with Sherman to the sea. At the close of the war, Mr. Starks mother having died, his father, Harry Starks, removed from Wisconsin to Monticello. He was followed by the son upon his discharge from the army. A few months after his discharge he was married to Miss Martha J. Starks, February 12, 1866, at the Gillen house in Anamosa. The marriage ceremony was performed by Rev. Eddy, and was witnessed by Mr. and Ms. G.W. Peck, who are a present residents of LeMars [Plymouth Co., IA]. Mr. Starks was engaged in the hop business for many years. Thereafter he was employed as a butter inspector for the Diamond Creamery Co. He held this position for 14 years, and thereafter retired to his home located in the northwest part of Monticello. There were three children born to Mr. and Mrs. Starks. Frank W. Starks, at present a resident of Sturgis, [Meade Co.] South Dakota, Mrs. Jessie Matthiessen, who died April 21, 1897, and Mrs. Mattie McNurien of Byron, [Ogle Co.] ILL. The son, Frank Starks, visited his father two weeks ago, but will be unable to be at the funeral. Mrs. McNurien is expected on the evening train today. In addition to his widow and two children he is survived by the following sisters: Mrs. G. W. Peck of LeMars and Mrs. James Scott of Emmetsburg [Palo Alto Co., IA] He is also survived by the following half brothers and sisters: Eugene Starks who is a resident of Canada; Mrs. Tillie Smith of Canton, [Lincoln Co.] South Dakota; and Mrs. Minnie Carson of Monticello. The funeral services will be held next Sunday, January 21. Short services, which will include a prayer, will be had at the home at 2 o'clock, and final services will be held in the Methodist Episcopal church at 2:30 o'clock. The services will be conducted by Rev. Thomas Neilson, the pastor of that church. The Masonic fraternity, of which the decedent was a member, will also take part in the funeral, and will conduct the services at the grave. Burial will be had at Oakwood cemetery. Mr. Starks had a host of good friends who recognized his worth and the sturdy character which led him to increase his three years enlistment and spend nearly four years in the defense of his country. He stood always for what was morally right, and never, hesitated in lending a hand when it might be needed.
