Cowles of Red Oak, which occurred Friday. Mr. Cowles came to Tabor from his home in Sidney last Tuesday to meet the general agent for the NW Ins. Co of Milwaukee. Mr. Cowles had been engaged as special agent for the NW for sometime. He registered at the Tabor House on Tuesday and remained in Tabor until Thursday morning, when he left, presumable for home, going by way of Malvern and Hastings. While here, Mr. Cowles complained of not feeling well, but those with whom he had talked thought nothing about it, and the news of his death was a great shock to a large circle of acquaintances in Tabor. It seems that after leaving Tabor, Mr. Cowles changed his mind about going to Sidney and went to Red Oak. He died at a hotel in Red Oak before a Dr. could arrive. His death occurred at 10:30 o'clock. The coroner's inquest showed death was caused by heart disease. The remains were prepared and sent to Sidney on the same train that he would have gone on, had he lived. Funeral occurred at Sidney on Sunday 4 July 1897 at 2 o'clock. Camp 1999 Modern Woodmen of America of Riverton, assisted by the Lodge of the same order at Sidney, and Sidney Lodge #10 Patriots of America in charge. Perry G. Cowles was born 28 March 1852 at McKissicks Grove, Fremont County Iowa, and was at the time of his death 45y 3m 4d old. He had been a resident of Sidney 33 years. He leaves a wife and 5 children, 4 sons and one daughter. The oldest, Miss Edith, is 21 years old, and the youngest, little Carl, is 4 years old. Mr. Cowles commenced life for himself as a school teacher. He finished his career as a school teacher in the high schools of Sidney. He then went into the real estate and abstract business, in which he continued 2 years, when he was elected county clerk which office he also filled for four years. Immediately after retiring from office he formed a partnership with M. M. McCartney, Jr. under the firm name of McCartney & Cowles and engaged in business as general merchants. He remained in this business for 3 years, when he was forced to retire because of failing health. He had been in poor health from that time until his death. His family and his other relatives in Sidney, and his old mother and brothers and sisters who reside at Riverton, have the deepest sympathy of the whole community.
