Obituary of Andrew J. Wolverton:
Died at his home in Polk Township, Taylor County, Iowa, Wednesday, Jan. 26, 1898, Andrew J. Wolverton, aged 54 years, 11 months and 13 days.
Andrew J. Wolverton was born in Parke County, Ind., resided there until 1874 and moved to Taylor County, IA., where he lived until his death. He was married to Miss Mary C. Jacobs, January 23, 1968, of this union nine children were born, five sons and four daughters, one daughter preceded him to that better land. He was cheerful to the last and bore his suffering without murmuring. Neighbors and friends bear witness to his honesty and liberality. During his sickness lots of friends came for miles around to see him and he appreciated their kindness greatly. When he bid us that sad good-bye he said not to forget these kind neighbors--how good they had been to him when that cancerous tumor was doing its deadly work. He said he was happy and longed for the end to come. Besides his children, he leaves a loving wife to mourn his loss. The funeral was conducted by Elder Simmons of Hopkins, by his request, after which the Masonic Order, of which he was ah honored member, laid him to rest in the Willard graveyard to await the resurrection morn. An honest man is the noblest work of God.

Mrs. Wolverton was in delicate health for nearly 40 years. During all this time as a pioneer wife and mother, she was patient and uncomplaining. No one ever heard her speak a cross or unkind word to one of her children. She was a member of the Hazel Dell church and had told her children she was ready to go where we are promised that there will be no more sickness and sorrow.
Funeral services were held at the home on Monday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock, conducted by Leslie R. Cobb. Interment in the Hopkins cemetery."
