William Lindsey Delashmutt, "Iowa, County Births, 1880-1935"
Omaha Daily Bee, April 29, 1911: Council Bluffs News - The funeral of William Lindsey DeLashmutt, who died at the Edmundson hospital Tuesday of heart trouble, took place yesterday at Glenwood and was one of the largest held in Mills county for many years. The services were held in the house in which he was born thirty years ago, October 2, 1880. His death occurred on the fifth anniversary of his marriage. All of his life was spent in the vicinity Pacific Junction and Glenwood, and he was widely known and universally esteemed. He graduated from the Glenwood High school in 1890. After graduating he took a business course at Lincoln, Neb., and then entered the Glenwood State bank, where he held a responsible position for four years. But the lure of the farm and the freedom of outdoor life enticed him from the bank, and he chose the farm life as his vocation, developing one of the finest farms in Mills county. On April 25, 1906, he was married to Miss Jessie Lorene Jacobs, just five years, almost to the hour, before his death. Two children, Lindsey, aged 4, and Donald, 1 year old, were born to them. Funeral services were conducted by Dr. O. O. Smith of this city. A male quartet from Glenwood furnished the music. The grave was made in the Glenwood cemetery, nearly all the people of the town witnessing the impressive services conducted by theMasonic lodge, of which he was a member. He was also a member of the Knights of Pythias, whose local members attended the services.
