[TAME, REX REGINALD]
[TAME, WILLIAM 1848-1925] Mr. Tame was 80 years of age when he died. He has lived north of Hopkins on a farm for approximately forty years. Just about a week before death came Mr. Tame called Charles Donlin, a banker at Hopkins, to his home, and there instructed him to go to the barn and there in a manger under a manure pile he would find considerable money stored away in a box. On March 27, Mr. Donlin followed Mr. Tame's instructions and found in cash, $6,500. In notes, $3,800. Mr. Donlin made deposits for Mr. Tame that day at his bank in Hopkins. This $6,500 in cash was in currency, ranging in bills from $10 to $500, but most of them of the smaller denominations. Mr. Donlin said today that Mr. Tame had been known in the community as a rather eccentric man but always treated with respect, and it was his opinion that Mr. Tame had put this money away from time to time for many years. Mr. Tame lived on a farm of 160 acres. His wife died about a year ago. A rather singular fact in regard to these circumstances is that the valuation of the county was raised $8, 800 today. The board of equalization is in session. When the equalization of Hopkins Township came before the board this amount was reported by the assessor, Wm. Wells, being of the Tame money. Just $1,000 had been reported by Mr. Tame to the assessor previously. Mr. Tame is survived by two grandchildren, three sisters and a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Rena Tame. The three sisters live in England and the grandchildren in Creston and Shenandoah, Ia. One grandson, Rex, lives at Creston, Ia. There was also a son, William, who died, not more than a year ago. Since Mrs. Tame and William Tame died, Mr. and Mrs. Will Vanatta have been taking care of the late Mr. Tame and his farm. Mr. Tame evidently felt kindly toward his keepers, as not so long ago he deeded eighty acres to Mr. and Mrs. Will Vanatta. The life of the late Mr. Tame reads like one of the stories of the early pioneers. The deceased came to this country from England about fifty years ago. He settled in this county, north of Hopkins and has farmed there ever since. Being of a frugal nature and rather tight fisted he accumulated considerable money and as his disposition did not let him place confidence in banks he put his money away in a box in the barn.
