Squire David Towne was born in Trumbull county, Ohio, December 23, 1840. At the age of 18 he moved with his parents to Illinois, living there until the fall of ’61, when they came west to Iowa. In Jan. 1864, he responded to the call of his country for volunteers, enlisting in Co. D. 38th Iowa Inft. and served until the close of the war. In the month of March, 1866, he was united in marriage to Miss Lany Easier. To this union were born one daughter. In 1880 the family moved to Howard county, living near Florenceville, until because of ill health Mr. Towne was forced to give up farming. He then moved to Cresco where he has lived for many years. At 11 o'clock last Wednesday morning he departed from this life after only a few days of intense suffering aged 75 years, 6 months and 20 days, leaving to mourn him, his wife, and daughter, Mrs. C. C. Mintey, and three sisters, Mrs. Eddy of Colorado, Mrs. Goss of Nebraska and Mrs. Daniels of Minnesota, besides a host of friends. He has answered the bugle's last call.
