Mr. Gilbert had been ill for several months, being confined to
his bed for the past three months. Although his suffering
was at times almost unbearable he bore it without a murmur and
throughout all his sickness he was patient and kind, never
grumbling or complaining.
Mr. Gilbert was converted to the Christian faith some years ago.
He made his home most of his life at or near Leando,
until 8 years ago when he moved to Libertyville, Iowa,
where he resided at the time of his death.
He will be sadly missed not only in the home but in the community
as well, as he was a kind and loving husband and father,
a kind and thoughtful neighbor. The family and many friends
revere his memory and remember with gratitude his kind deeds.

Libertyville at 10 o'clock in the morning and at 1:30 in the
afternoon at the Leando church by Rev. Charles I. Ellis of Douds,
