Immediately after his marriage they moved to the farm and with the exception of about three years in Ottumwa lived there until 1897 when they moved to Keosauqua. Funeral services were held at the home in Keosauqua Thursday, conducted by Rev. Perkins, with interrment [sic] in the Purdom cemetery. He leaves to mourn their loss a wife, one son, Ralph, one sister, Mrs. M. J. Burne of Denver, Col., and one brother, W. P. L. Muir, of Bonaparte. One son died in infancy.
