Mr. Mallory was a kindly man liked by everyone who knew him. He had held various positions during his lifetime, at one time being the editor of the Clear Lake weekly newspaper. He liked woodcraft and was capable of turning out the finest kind of work. In spite of a handicap by loosing an arm in a hunting accident many years ago, he continued his work and completed the beautiful home of his daughter, Mrs. Ruth Cobb in Dell Rapids. He also liked horticultural work and for several years was custodian of the Dell Rapids Park, and took great delight in keeping the building and ground in beautiful condition.
He had many friends who will miss his always cheerful greetings.
