Postville Review, Sat., 12 Sept. 1891. (condensed).

Lucius Dean Alward was born near Postville, Iowa, Nov. 16, 1866, and died Sept. 4, 1891. Until a little over a year ago he had spent his life in or near Postville, where he had a very extended acquaintance. He was held in high esteem by all who knew him for integrity of character and sterling worth of manhood. He was recognized as one of the truest, most worthy young men of the community. One of the largest funerals that Postville has ever seen indicated the general sorrow felt, and the sympathy with the bereaved family.

In his home was seen one of the most beautiful traits of Dean's character, in his attachment to his mother and sisters. An only son, he was his mother's support and counselor, the strong arm on which she was coming to lean more and more. He was a true son and a loyal brother.

A card of thanks was signed by Mrs. M. L. Alward & Family.
