John P. Nazett
Was born in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, May 5, 1846, and died at his home in Postville, Iowa, Nov. 25, 1905, after a lingering illness from dropsy and heart trouble. He spent his boyhood days in Pennsylvania and came to Iowa in 1867. In 1875 he was married to Matilda Boedecker, who with three children - two sons and a daughter - mourn his loss. He became a member of the M.E. church at Volney, joining on probation. March 24, 1895 he was received into full membership in the M.E. church of Postville by Rev. H.S. Church, who was pastor at that time.

Mr. Nazett was a quiet, unassuming man, yet true and loyal. A kind husband and father has passed away. Through all his sickness he showed a marked degree of patience, never complaining, but willing that God's will be done. His last moments were peaceful. He quietly passed the portal of death. Without a struggle the spirit left the body. In the hope of the resurrection we lay him to rest.

The funeral was held from the M.E. church Tuesday, Nov 28, at 2:30 p.m., conducted by Rev. W.W. Robinson and Noble Lodge No. 51, A.O.U.W. Interment in the Postville cemetery.
