He complained of not feeling well on Sunday but was not taken seriously ill until Monday afternoon and when a physician was summoned it was seen that an immediate operation was the only chance he had and that was a slim one. Dr. Bowen of Ft. Dodge was called to assist the local doctors and the operation was performed after midnight, Tuesday morning but he did not survive the shock. Mr. Hakes had been troubled for about a year with a rupture but he complained very little so that very few knew that anything was the matter with him. Only a couple of months ago a noted surgeon at (?) advised him to undergo an operation but said that it was a minor affair and would not take long. The names Montague Hakes and Laurens suggest each other. He came to Laurens in (1886?) and has been continuously in business ever since. No man ever stuck closer to business than he. The old town did not look natural with the Hakes store closed the past two days. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon (Friday) at three o'clock from the home. ============ The Laurens Sun, Laurens, Iowa, Thursday, 14 Jul 1921, Page 1 (mostly illegible): Many Attend Funeral of Montague Hakes Friday Rev.

His (?) established themselves in (New?) England long before the Revolutionary war, and the family is of long standing in America and its members are widely disseminated through the United States. In 1863 when he was a child of five years, his father removed the family for a time to California, driving in an emigrant wagon from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to the Pacific coast. They stayed in the far west but a short time and returned again by way of the Isthmus of Panama and by boat (?) to Iowa. ....
