Congdon, was born in the state of Michigan September 1, 1863. He departed this life on January 16, 1937, at the age of 73 years, 4 months and 15 days. He was one of a family of nine children, six sons and 3 daughters--all of whom have preceded him in death, except a brother, Noah Congdon, of Story, Wyoming, and a sister, Effie Congdon Ott of Portland, Oregon. He is also survived by his faithful wife, Caroline Hazelbaker Congdon, with whom he spent over 55 years of married happiness, three daughters, Mrs Emma Bates of Clarinda, Mrs Hallie Thompson of Southey, Saskatchawan, Canada, and Mrs Perry G. Thompson, of Portland, Oregon, a son, Charles Congdon of Clarinda, ten grandchildren, and many other relatives and friends, in Taylor and Page counties. At the time of his death, he was the oldest business man in Clarinda, and he so honorably conducted his affairs that he will be greatly missed by his associates in business as well as in social relationships. He always greeted those he met with a bright smile and a word of cheer. He was noted for his charity work. For many years, until this work was taken over by the organized charities, he always gave well-filled baskets of food and clothing to the poor and needy at Christmas. He made yearly visits to the County Home, to make those who were unfortunate there a little happier with gifts of candy, fruit, magazines and other things. Despite his limited income, he has helped many with gifts and loans, asking nothing for himself in return. At the age of 17 years he united with the Church of Christ in Taylor county, Iowa. After his removal to Page county, he attended and helped various churches, including the Christian, the United Brethren and the Methodist churches. When his health permitted, and till his hearing became more difficult, he attended the Methodist church with his children and grandchildren. He will be greatly missed in this community, but our loss will be his gain. He will surely receive his just reward, here and hereafter. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev W.H. Meredith, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church of Clarinda, at the Walker Funeral Home at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The burial was in Old Memory cemetery west of New Market, Iowa. The music was furnished by Mrs Forest Davidson and Mrs C.E. Hoskinson. The pallbearers were Jack Wenner, Clay Swisher, Chas. Joels, Chas. Kelly, Roy Herren and Fred Sperry.
