Joseph Douglass, formerly of the town of Porter, died at Monona, Iowa, where he has been making his home since 1887. Mr. Douglass was born in the town of Porter on July 31, 1865 and resided there until he removed to Monona. He was a barber by trade.
A wife, four children, three brothers and one sister survive him, his brothers being Rev. J.C. Douglass, of Walla Walla, Washington; H.M. Douglass, of Kansas; William Douglass, of Fulton; the sisters being Mrs. Mary Ann Spence, of Cooksville.
The funeral was held on Wednesday from the Methodist church and was largely attended. Mr. Douglass was well known and a popular and worthy man. His death will be the occasion of much genuine sorrow.
