At his residence in New London Township, Henry Co, Iowa, Oct. 4th, Mr. HEZEKIAH EKE, in his 38th [or 58th?] year.

He emigrated to Iowa in the spring of 1835 and was one of the first settlers on the head of Flint. He was a good christian neighbor and a kind husband and father, a devoted friend to his country and an out-spoken Union man, especially when pleading with God for his country and our brave soldiers.
