ALDERMAN NATIVE PIONEER SON, CALLED BY DEATH FUNERAL SERVICES SUNDAY AT 3:00 AND INTERMENT IN NEVADA CEMETERY. Edw. T. Alderman, 64, died at the home of his sister Mrs. J. A. Mills, on Seventh and Avenue K late Wednesday night from a collapse of the heart. Mr. Alderman had been in a serious condition for several weeks and a few hours before his death submitted to the second minor operation for relief from goitre troubles. He had long been a sufferer from heart affliction and his death came not unexpected. The funeral will be held at the Mills home Sunday afternoon at 3:00, after which interment will be in the Nevada cemetery, in the Alderman family lot. Interment will be according to the ritualistic ceremonies of the Knights of Pythias lodge, of which he was long time and devoted member. Edwin T. Alderman was the second son of the pioneer family of Nevada--Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Alderman. The parents with the first son, Oscar, came in Iowa in 1853 and located in Nevada. The daughter Mary Nevada was born and died the following year, being the first child born in Nevada and the first child interred in the Nevada cemetery. Edwin Theodore was born September 2, 1862. Here he was reared as a child in the pioneer home, attended the public schools of the growing village and graduated with honors with the class of 1879--the third class to graduated from the schools. Other members of the class were Clyde Lockwood now of Seattle, Wash., Channing Tichenor who died at Agra, Okla., about a year ago, Miss Agnes Harper, now Mrs. Ira Horton and Belle Hempstead, who became Mrs. Andrew Sill and has been deceased some years. After graduating from the schools he became associated with his father and brothers in the conduct of the pioneer Alderman Hardware store in Nevada and continued his work until the father disposed of the business to the other sons. Edwin T. then accompanied his parents to California where they stayed for some time. Returning to Nevada he stayed with them in the home until the mother died October 12, 1899. The father lived until January 20, 1904 and the son continued to assist in his care to the end. Following the passing of the parents and the breaking up of the family home, he had his rooms in the Alderman building on Main street and took his meals with his sister, Mrs. Mills part of the time. From that time on he was associated with his brother U. S. Alderman in the management of the business properties in Nevada and other investments. A sister Ida had died in 1870 at the age of 14 years, the eldest brother Oscar B. Alderman died in California about 10 years ago and youngest brother Ulysses S. Alderman died suddenly a year ago May 14. Mr. Alderman had never married and leaves one sister, Mrs. Minnie Mills, and number of nephews and one niece. He also leaves a wide circle of friends who had long been attached to him because of his many sterling qualities. He had been a member of Samson Lodge No. 77 Knights of Pythias since 1883, one year after the organization of the lodge. He was long an active and very devoted member of that lodge and had been on of the recognized factors in the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias of Iowa, having been on the Judiciary committee for a number of years and had an active part in much of the legislation of the lodge during those years. Ed Alderman was a man of strong characteristics and of an outstanding character. He was a devoted friend, kind and sympathetic in his nature, ever ready to do good to a neighbor in distress or to humanity in general and was a man recognized as a leader in many ways. For the past twenty years he had been active in the promotion of improved highways across the state and had been on the board of both the Lincoln Highway and Jefferson Highway associations. He had given of his time and money in the promotion of these cross continent roads and took much interest in their development. In the loss of Ed Alderman the city of Nevada loses not only one of her pioneer native sons, but one whose entire life has been devoted to the interests and well being of the community.
