John Head

John Henry Head was born at Welton, Iowa, December 31, 1854, where he spent his boyhood days, but in earlier manhood made his home north of Maquoketa in Farmers Creek and South Fork townships, in which vicinity he remained until about three years ago when he removed to the farm of his nephew, Roy Head, located on the island in the Mississippi river between Bellevue and Galena. For some time he had been in poor health but nothing serious was feared as he was about the house and place a day or two before the end came, Saturday morning at ten o’clock. The remains were taken on Monday to the church at Fulton where funeral services were held in the afternoon.

Deceased was an honored member of the I. O. O. F. which order conducted the committal services. Interment was made in the Sutton Cemetery. Surviving are two brothers, Frank of Fulton and Edward of Jones county; three sisters, Mrs. Nettie Johnson of Rock Island, Miss Nettie Head of Davenport and Mrs. Annie Gregoire of DeWitt.
