Died on a Train.
Jacob Conrad, an aged Buchanan Co. farmer, started on the 31st ult. to visit a daughter at Webster City. His wife noticed he was leaning forward with his head resting on his arms, which were placed on the top of the seat in front of him, and in speaking to him found he was dying. Before reaching Waterloo he was dead. He was aged 77 years and had been a sufferer from dropsy and a heart affection.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows he was born June, 1829 and is buried in Rowley Cemetery.
