Read More	John Muth Sr., aged nearly 85 years, and his grandson, Lloyd Joseph Muth, aged 3 years, passed away only 24 hours apart last week. The aged pioneer died at his home in Hawarden at 10:30 Saturday morning after the death of his grandson, which occurred at the Sacred Heart hospital in LeMars at 11 :10 Friday morning. A double funeral was held at St. Mary's Catholic church in Hawarden at 10 o'clock Monday morning, with Rev. Fr. C. P. Conway celebrating requiem high mass. Burial was in the Catholic cemetery. The funeral was attended by an immense throng of relatives and friends. John Muth was one of the pioneer settlers of Plymouth county, southeast of Hawarden. He was born in Ohio and would have been 85 years of age had he lived until April 8th. He came to Jackson county, Iowa, with his parents when a child and moved on westward to Plymouth county more than 60 years ago, where he located on a homestead, 11 miles southeast of Hawarden. His parents joined him in Plymouth county a year later. On Feb. 22, 1879, he was united in marriage with Elmira Willey at LeMars. They continued to make their home on the farm until May, 1912, when they purchased a home in this city and retired from active farm life. Mrs. Muth passed away Feb. 14, 1920. Following Mrs. Muth's death, his youngest daughter, Mrs. Max Wilson, continued to make a home for him here. Mr. Muth suffered a stroke about fifteen years ago which resulted in his left arm being paralyzed. He suffered several lighter strokes at various times later and my times his life was almost despaired of but his rugged constitution and will power enabled him to overcome these severe trials although each attack left him somewhat weaker. He was bedfast for about eight weeks preceding his death during which time he suffered, greatly. He was the father of ten children, nine of whom survive him. One daughter, Mrs. Lee Morey, passed away in Hawarden Aug. 14, 1932. The surviving children are Henry, John, Thomas, William, Walter and Austin Muth and Mrs. Max Wilson, all of Hawarden and vicinity; Melvin Muth of Sioux City, and Mrs. Joe Lukens of LeMars. There are 35 grandchildren. He is also survived by two brothers, Ed. Muth of Hawarden and Chas. Muth, who resides in New York state. One brother, Henry Muth, died at Walla Walla, Wash., early in January of this year. Mr. Muth was of the rugged pioneer type and played an important part in the development of the community where he cast his lot as a young man and continued to reside until his retirement from, active life. He was a successful farmer and accumulated extensive land holdings in Sioux and Plymouth counties which enabled him to spend his declining years in comfort and without financial worries. A man of the strictest integrity, he was ever loyal and true to his friends and there are many outside the family circle who sincerely mourn his death. Lloyd Joseph Muth, whose death preceded that of his grandfather but one day, was the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Muth, residing 11 miles southeast of Hawarden. His death came last Friday following an operation at LeMars for a perforated appendix to which he had submitted but four days earlier. Although everything possible was done for the little lad, death was not to be denied. He was 3 years old on March 4th. Besides his parents, he is survived by three brothers, Robert, Vincent and Walter, and two sisters, Virginette and Maxine, and also his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. .Nick Ney. Sincere sympathy is extended to the members of the grief stricken family. The Independent (Hawarden, Iowa) 3/16/1933
