Jackson Sentinel, August 30, 1900

O. G. Prime was born in the state of Maine 73 years ago. In the early days of Jackson County, when Maquoketa was but a struggling village, he came here and settled, establishing a wagon factory. It was his privilege to see Maquoketa grow from a small village to the city it now is and the part he took in its growth was no small one. He was a man of perseverance and industry, and although an old man, continued to work at his trade up to a few years ago, when ill health forced him to give it up.

Deceased was well known and popular and a useful and respected citizen and neighbor. The children and brothers and sisters will have the sincere sympathy of all. Survivors of the deceased are two brothers-D. W. of Brandon, Vermont, and O. B. of Ironwood, Michigan; two sisters- Mrs G. W. Engle of this city and Mrs. A. N. Herbert of Junction City, Oregon; three daughters, Mrs. R. H. Morris of Cedar Rapids, Mrs. E. J. Kullmer of this city and Mrs. D. H. Sweet of Davenport, and one son, Arthur of Fort Dodge. His wife and one son preceded him in death.
