McElhaney, a native of Plymouth County, was taken to Akron last week where the funeral and interment was made. Ed McElhaney was a son of one of the early settlers in Plymouth County and was born on the farm now owned by A. E. Tucker, near the Mallette railroad crossing, three miles southwest of LeMars. The Akron Register Tribune has the following obituary: Edward Webster McElhaney, eldest son of Thomas S. and Minerva E. McElhaney, was born in Plymouth County, Iowa, near LeMars, February 24, 1874. In the spring of 1883, he moved with his parents to a farm in Portland township, northeast of Akron, Iowa, where he grew to young manhood and attended the country schools. Later he attended school in LeMars and in 1899 was graduated from Highland Park Business College at Des Moines, Iowa. He studied telegraphy at Janesville, Wis., and was station agent for the Milwaukee railroad at Burbank, S.D., for several years. In 1912, he went to Chicago where he received an appointment as state meat inspector. He remained in Chicago for a number of years, when he was transferred to East St. Louis, Ill., where he became state pure food inspector, and it was in East St. Louise he continued to reside until last September, when he entered the Missouri Baptist Sanitarium in St. Louis, Mo., and underwent an operation for cancer of the liver. He survived the operation until October 21, 1928, when he passed away, aged 54 years, 7 months and 27 days. The deceased is survived by two brothers, Jesse M., of Sandusky, Ohio, and Frank M. of Akron, Iowa, and one sister, Mrs. R. D. Vanderbeek, formerly of Arnold’s Park, Iowa, and now in California. They have the sympathy of the community in the loss of a kind and affectionate brother. He was a man of irreproachable character, genial natured and a true and steadfast friend, whose passing is sincerely regretted by all who knew him. The body was brought to Akron from St. Louis and funeral services conducted in the Methodist church here by Rev. Wilson Gow last Thursday afternoon. Interment was made beside his parents in Riverside Cemetery. The pallbearers were from among old friends of this vicinity: B. A. Adams, H. E. Bradley, Adolph Schuster, Emery Neal, Chris Schiefen and John Robertson. Out of town relatives at the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Collar, of Vermillion, S.D., Mrs. Collar being a cousin.
