He was born in Vermont in 1807, and came from York State to Michigan in 1844, and with the exception of five years, has resided since upon the farm where he died. As a pioneer he saw the wilderness and Indian disappear. He lived to see a large family develop into respectable citizens and settle near him. He saw all the earlier settlers, except two, pass before him to the silent land and at last at a good age, held in the highest respect by all who knew him, he quietly passed away. He leaves a wife, four sons and four daughters, who with the exception of two, were at the funeral. Two sons, Alfred and Frank, live upon adjoining farms and one daughter, Mrs. H. McCreery, also lives near. The U. B. pastor, Mr. Bradley, officiated the burial from the church. He sleeps in the Fitchburg cemetery surrounded by scores of earlier compeers. Requiescat in peace.

Elizabeth C. Benson was born in Ross county, Ohio, Feb. 8, 1840, and died in Knoxville, Iowa, Friday, April 2, 1909, at 7 a.m., aged 69 years, 1 month and 24 days.
She was the youngest child of a family of 13 children, of whom 5 were sons and 8 were daughters, all of whom have passed away except Mrs. Chas. Evans, of Pleasantville, who survives her. In the fall of 1853 she removed with her parents to Marion county, Iowa. Shortly after their arrival here her mother was removed by death, thus leaving her at the age of 13 years to care for her father's family. Two years later she with her father removed to Ohio. Nov. 2, 1856, she was united in marriage to W. E. Hyer of Ross county, Ohio. To this union 9 children were born, 4 sons and 5 daughters, all of whom survive her: Mary Speed, of Polo, Canada; Rufus Hyer, of Lang, Canada; Nannie Whitmore, Coin, Iowa; W.A. Hyer, Estherville, Iowa; J.A. Hyer, Dolliver, Iowa; Judia Askins (sic), Pleasantville, Iowa; Francis Dowden, Dolliver, Iowa; Elijah Hyer, Huntley, Mont.; and Gertrude Miner, of Pleasantville, Iowa. All the children were present at the funeral but a daughter, Mary, and the youngest son, Elijah.
One year after her marriage, in the fall of 1857, they removed to Marion county, Iowa, where they resided on their farm in Union township until the fall of 1902, when they retired from farm life and moved to Knoxville, where they have resided until her death. She united with the Congregational church in 1905, of which she has been a devout member, a most devoted, loving mother, an affectionate wife, a kind and obliging neighbor, always sacrificing her own welfare for the comfort of her family and neighbors; one whom to know was to love. She has been a constant sufferer for a number of years with a malignant disease which she endured with fortitude and Christian grace. She often wished for the end, but was most perfectly resigned to the will of God. She lived in the sweet sunshine of life, and always had a kind word to say about everybody. She often quoted the scripture, "For I know that my redeemer liveth," and expressed perfect confidence in God. During her last illness she was patient and contented, for her hope was anchored in God, who has said, "There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God." She looked for that beautiful day of unclouded vision when in a higher realm of ecstatic delight and spiritual realities she could see as she was seen and know as she was known and behold her redeemer face to face. Her end was peaceful.
Funeral service were held at the Congregational church be the pastor, D. W. Swender, Monday, April 5, at 11 a.m.; interment in Graceland. The floral offering was profuse and beautiful.
CARD OF THANKS
In this connection the husband and children desire to express their heart-felt thanks to the neighbors and friends for their sympathy and many acts of kindness in the hour of sorrow.
