Ernest Meeves, Young Farmer, Dies Suddenly
The community was shocked and saddened Saturday morning, May 2, 1936, when word came that Earnest Meeves had passed away in St. Anthony's hospital at Carroll, where he had been taken for an appendectomy. Ernest took sick while at work in the field and was taken to the hospital Wednesday and operated on that night. He grew worse Friday and passed away Saturday morning at five o'clock with all those near and dear to him at his bedside.

Ernest Henry Meeves, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Meeves, Sr., was born December 25, 1904, and grew to manhood on the farm south of Arion where his parents still live. He attended the Arion and Dow City schools and then assisted his parents on the farm.

He was married to Miss Anna Meggers of Manning, October 2, 1929, at that place and after their marriage they made their home on a farm across the highway from the home place where they were living at the time of his death. Two children were born to this union, Margaret Wilma, two and a half years old and Robert Ernest, two weeks old. Since his marriage Mr. Meeves had united with the Denison Lutheran Church.

Ernest was kind and courteous to all and honest and upright in every business transaction. He was a dutiful son, a loving husband, a devoted father, and a faithful friend. He leaves his devoted wife and children, parents, one sister, Mary, Mrs. Oscar Mathys; four brothers William of Elk Point, South Dakota; John of Manning; Louis and Walter of Arion, a host of relatives and friends.
