Glenwood Pioneer Dead
Theodore Wilson Ivory.
Tribune: Theodore Wilson Ivory, the well known lawyer and for 44 years a resident of Glenwood, died Friday morning at 6:30 following an illness of four months. For a dozen years or more Mr. Ivory had been suffering from what is popularly known as creeping paralysis, and this had prevented him from taking an active part in the affairs of the community.
The deceased was born Nov. 27, 1850, at Marshall, Mich., and came to Glenwood in 1867. He studied law and was admitted to the bar April 25, 1877, and was admitted to practice in the U. S. court at Council Bluffs Sept. 29, 1880.
He was a member of the Glenwood Baptist church, of the Odd Fellows and the Ancient Order of United Workmen lodges.
Mr. Ivory was for many years an active factor in Mills county politics. He did considerable editorial work on the old Glenwood Journal. He was postmaster at Glenwood for four years under President Cleveland’s first administration, and some years later was a candidate for supreme court on the Democratic state ticket.
The deceased was in partnership for about ten years with the late W. H. Wright under the firm name of Wright & Ivory, and an extensive farm loan business was carried on. This firm was succeeded in 1902 by Ivory & Otis, Carl T. Otis becoming associated with Mr. Ivory in the law and loan business.
Mr. Ivory was married Nov. 6, 1879, to Miss May J. Doughty, who survives him. He is also survived by two brothers and two sisters, Walter W. and Judson Ivory of Colorado, Mrs. Minnie Hadley of Cedar Bluffs, Neb., and Mrs. Ella Wilson of Arlington, Neb., and a step mother, Mrs. H. R. Ivory and three half sisters Miss Anna Ivory, Mrs. Harry Hall and Mrs. Lon Baker of Tabor.
The funeral was held from the home Sunday afternoon, and was conducted by Rev. Roy L. Palmerton of the Baptist church. The Odd Fellows, who were present to the number of 125, conducted the services at the cemetery. The pallbearers were H. S. Fleming, A. Ring, W. S. Lewis, L. S. Robinson, J. T. Murphy and C. W. Rathke.
