Read More	The Alton community was greatly shocked Tuesday morning by news of the death of Jacob C. Cambier, rugged early settler here, who passed on in his sleep shortly before one o'clock Tuesday morning, Oct. 13th. Mrs. Cambier was awakened by a slight sound from her husband, spoke to him and when he did not answer she turned on the light and found he had already passed on and was peacefully at rest. Although he had been incapacitated from active work from some years, Mr. Cambier was long a leading figure in the community and his death is a distinct loss to the town which he served so many years as school director. Jacob Cambier was born April 8, 1868 at Port Gibson, New York and was 74 years, 6 months and 4 days of age at the time of his sudden passing. He came from a family of seven children, four sisters and two brothers coming to Iowa with his parents and family at the age of 15 years. Since that time in 1883, he has lived in the Alton vicinity, where he was a successful farmer and dairyman, retiring some years ago from active business. In 1893 he married Berendina Scholten of Alton. Had he lived until February 23rd he would have celebrated with his good wife the 50th anniversary of their wedding. Nine children were born to them. Mr. Cambier is survived by his wife and eight children. Franklin preceded him in death by five years. Remaining are Mrs. R.D. Newton (Josephine) of Los Angeles; William J. of Orange City; Richard of Alton; Mrs. H.M. Dildine (Suzanne) of Huntington Park, Calif; Mrs.C.E. Swanson (Gladys) or Colorado Springs; Clinton of Alton; Mrs. Ray Van Wechel (Lillian) of Vinton; and Orville of Alton; also surviving are two sisters, Mrs. Jennie Giebink and Mrs. John Mason, both of Orange City. Funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at two o'clock at the Presbyterian church in charge of Rev. R.B. Budd. Mrs. Newton and Mrs. Dildine are expected today from California, Mrs. Swanson arrived Wednesday night and Mr. and Mrs. Van Wechel drove up from Vinton Tuesday. Mr. Cambier was a man of such integrity and character that he was highly regarded by all, while his cheerful and friendly disposition endeared him to many besides his immediate family. In both business and church matters his judgment was respected. He was long a member of the consistory of the First Reformed Church here and later an elder in the Presbyterian church for many years. He had apparently been in better health than for years when suddenly stricken, and on Sunday evening had enjoyed an evening in Orange City at the home of his eldest son, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. J. Camber, who were observing their wedding anniversary.
