It was known that he had been quite sick during the winter, but of late he was feeling better and was able to be about and to Strawberry Point. His death ends the life of a worthy citizen and esteemed neighbor. As a husband and father he was honored and respected. As a citizen he took part in the civic doings of his township and county. He was active in promoting better farming conditions and was for a time president of the Strawberry Point District Fair Association. He was also one of the faithful ones who looked carefully after the Cox Creek Cemetery. Genial, accommodating, active, industrious, deeply in earnest, he leaves a record that can always be pointed to with pride. Such men are worth a great deal to our country, and his worth will remain as long as memory lingers. Those who sorrow can be comforted in the thought that his life was well spent, and that the world was much better by his living in it. ~Obituary~ Mr. John Alderson At his home in Cox Creek Township, Clayton Co., Iowa, May 28, 1921, Mr. John Alderson, surrounded by his immediate family, passed away after a severe illness of several months.
