    HUNTSMAN, William
    William HUNTSMAN was born in Ohio, May 23, 1822 and departed this life, August 25, 1902, at the age of 80 years.Fifty five years ago, while still a young man, he came to this state, settling in Council Bluffs, there he was united in marriage to Miss Almira WIRICK, January 20, 1850. After residing at that place for two years he removed to Emerson, Iowa, when it was still a vast prairie inhabited by a few whites and a great many Indians. He lived to see barren tract transformed into beautiful farms and a fine town.

    To this union was born nine children, five sons and four daughters, all of whom survive him, except one, Ambrosia, who died in infancy. The remaining children are Alfred of Henderson, Iowa; Peter of Griswold, Iowa; George of Inwood, Iowa; Mrs. A. H. SHERMAN, Mrs. Don SMITH, William, Levi and Dora of Emerson.

    June 11th, 1880 he was called to mourn the loss of a devoted wife and mother. Twelve years ago he was united with the Re-organized Church of Jesus Christ and died trusting in the faith he believed.

    The funeral services were held in the Baptist Church, Wednesday, August 27th at 2 PM conducted by Rev. Hougas of Henderson.
