Death of Good Man.

Charles Lyman French was born in Canterbury, New Hampshire, December 13, 1834, and died at his home west of Reasnor, Iowa, March 19, 1910, aged 75 years, 3 months and 6 days. He was the last member of his father’s family to die, all the others having preceded him to the spirit land. He was united in marriage in 1857 to Hannah Emery. To this union were born four children, all of whom with his aged companion are left to mourn. For the last six months his health had been poor and for a great portion of the time he was suffered greatly. The funeral service was held Monday, March 20, at the home, conducted by Rev. H. C. Millice, after which the remains were taken to Monroe for burial. ~ Newspaper unknown.
