"SOON FOLLOWS FATHER
Frankie Viers, Aged Eleven, Dies
From Illness of Typhoid.
Death has again entered the Viers home, little Frankie Viers, the eleven-year-old daughter having succumbed last Friday after an illness of two weeks with typhoid. It will be recalled that Frank Viers, father of the little girl, died shortly before Christmas, since which time the home has been a sad place as the mother and the daughter have been ill with typhoid.
Frankie was born in Storm Lake October 22, 1905, and has lived in this city all her life. She was a bright little girl and much beloved by the members of the family. Her sad death will be greatly mourned by her mother, two sisters, Goldie and Delorus [sic].
The funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church at two o'clock on Sunday afternoon, Dr. J. W. Parkhill was in charge of the service. A choir composed of high school girls furnished the music. The body was laid to rest beside the newly made grave of her father in the Storm Lake cemetery.
Mrs. Viers, the mother who is now improving in health, and the two daughters have the profound sympathy of the entire community in their great bereavement."
Mentioned in Wife's Obituary:
10-23-1947: Obituary in The Mirror, Newell, Buena Vista County, Iowa:
"Mary Lucinda Fields, daughter of Dewitt and Minerva Fields, was born in Cherokee county, Iowa, on June 6, 1881 and passed away at the Swallum Hospital, Storm Lake, Iowa on October 12, 1947, having attained the age of 66 years, 4 months and six days.
The years of childhood and youth were spent in the farm house of her parents in Cherokee county, later in O'Brien county near Calumet. On December 22, 1897 she was married to Franklin Perry Viers of Storm Lake. To this union were born three children: Frankie, who passed away at the age of 11 years; Goldie, Mrs. Claude Gray, and Delores, Mrs. Earl Turner, both of San Francisco, Calif., who were with their mother during her last days.
In 1916 her husband passed away and on December 20, 1922 she was united in marriage with John Bellows of Newell, with whom she lived in happiness and contentment for nearly twenty-five years and who was her faithful attendant during her short illness. On Wednesday, October 8, she suffered a severe paralytic stroke and was immediately taken to the hospital in Storm Lake where everything humanly possible was done for her recovery, but all to no avail. She never regained consciousness and on Sunday evening, she passed on to her Heavenly home, where pain and suffering are no more.
Besides the sorrowing husband and the two daughters, she leaves to mourn her untimely home-going two brothers, W. J. Fields of Jerome, Idaho, and G. C. Fields of Medford, Oregon, one sister, Mrs. K. E. Houchin of Newell, and more distant relatives and friends.
Mrs. Bellows was a good Christian wife and mother. In her youth she affiliated with the Methodist church of her home community, later in life identifying herself with th e [sic] Seventh-Day Adventist church of Storm Lake. Her Christianity expressed itself in kind, helpful deeds in her home community and wherever her services were needed. Feeling the desire for further participation in service activities, she held active membership in the local Rebekah lodge and Relief Corps organization where her kindly influence will be greatly missed. All who knew her testify to her kind and friendly disposition and feel a distinct sense of loss in her passing at this time.
Funeral services were held from Larson Funeral Home in Newell on Thursday, October 16, at 2:00 o'clock, and from the Methodist church at 2:30 with the pastor, Rev. N. F. Grote, in charge, assisted by the Rev. K. W. G. Hiller. Consoling hymns were sung by Mrs. N. F. Grote and Mrs. F. W. Witter. Graveside services were in charge of the B. V. Rebekah lodge No. 258, and burial was in the Newell cemetery. Larson service was in charge of the funeral arrangements. Serving as pall bearers were Harold and Paul Fitchett, Clarence Timke, Ray and Fay Harris and George Tepley."
1-31-1957: Obituary article in The Mirror, Newell, Buena Vista Co., IA:
"Last Rites for John Bellows Held January 24
Funeral services were held Thursday, January 4, at 2:30 p.m. for John Farley Bellows who passed away Jan 21. Rev. Virgil C. Grant was in charge of the service with Larson Funeral Home in charge of arrangements.
Pall bearers were Harold Hakeman, Ole Christiansen, Roy Liechti, Merle Hines, Martin Johnsen and Rasmus Christiansen.
John Farley Bellows, son of T. C. and Lottie Bellows was born August 27, 1882 and passed away at his farm home on January 21, 1957 at the age of 74 years, 4 months and 21 days.
John received his education in the country school and had spent his entire life on the farm where he was born. For many years John cared for his aged parents while he farmed the home place.
On December 22, 1922 he was united in marriage to Mary Viers, who preceded him in death on October 16, 1947.
For many years he had been a member of the Methodist church of Newell. During the building program of the church, he donated many hours of work on the new parsonage. He was a member of the Order of Odd Fellows for more than 50 years.
He is suruvived [sic] by one brother, Floyd Bellows of Newell; two step daughters, De-Lores [sic - Delores] Jarvis of San Francisco, Calif., and Goldie Mitchel of Ocean Side [sic - Oceanside], Calif.; a number of nieces and nephews and a host of friends.
Music was by Carol McMullen and Lawrence Saddoris. Pat Willfong was organist."
NOTE: I couldn't find any probate info for him, but according to his obit, his closest survivors were a brother and Delores and her sister, Goldie, his stepdaughters. That might be where Delores got some of her money, also. The next month after his death there was an auction at the farm, of the farm machinery and household goods, but the farm was not up for sale.
