Page County Democrat (Clarinda, Iowa), Thursday, May 18, 1893, p. 8
“Sol West Is Dead ” Was the sad announcement received at the Page County Bank, Monday morning, May 15, 1893, from Dr. Lewellen at San Antonio, Texas, who went there last week to wait upon him. The news cast a deep gloom over this community, although from reports of his serious illness the past two weeks it was hourly expected. Mr. West had been spending the winter in the south for his health and was about ready to return home when stricken down and all were anxiously awaiting his return. He was 61 years of age.
Mr. West was born in Kentucky and came to Page county in the fall of 1856, first stopping with Wm. Cunning and asking for a place to teach school, who succeeded in securing one for him in Buchanan township during the winter and spring; but his ambition seemed to rise above that avocation and in 1857 he became deputy county treasurer and recorder, under Capt. R. F. Connor, the two offices then being merged into one. In 1861 he was elected by the democrats to these offices over J. H. Walker and filled the position with credit to the people and himself.
In 1864 he engaged in the freighting business across the great plains and through the country of treacherous Indians into Idaho, which he followed for two years and met with financial success. He then returned to Clarinda again and purchased a drug store from D. C. Ribble on the south side of the square which he operated until ’74 when he disposed of that and engaged in the banking business with Al Collins. In ’75 he withdrew from this and became interested in the First National bank where he continued until ’78 when he purchased and conducted the large Mose Thompson farm just north of this city. In ’82 the First National bank was changed to the Page county bank and he became one of the leading stockholders and was also elected president thereof, which position he has continued to occupy ever since with marked distinction to himself and success to the institution.
Mr. West was a man of boundless virtues and few faults, social, kind, accommodating and generous to a fault, a friend to the poor first and the rich last, as many a man in cramped financial trouble can testify who have been helped on to prosperity by his generous and liberal deeds, often loaning his money and signing the note as surety which was placed in the bank. In every walk of life, he was a man, a gentleman and none knew him but to honor him. With his death Clarinda loses one of her noblest citizens. He was a member of the Masonic and also I. O. O. F. lodge. While he belonged to no church his contributions were regular and liberal. The funeral took place at 10 a. m. today, conducted by Rev. R. R. Westcott and a large concourse of admiring friends, with an escort from each of the above mentioned secret societies, followed his remains to their last resting place in the city cemetery. “Peace to his ashes, rest to his soul.”
