He lived till Monday evening at six o’clock, but during that time, if conscious, did not speak.

He is survived by four children, Mrs. Eli Swihart, Albert and Will Deutsch of near Newton and Theodore Deutsch, Nebraska and four step-children, Mrs. M. Hutter of Des Moines, Mrs. William Wolf of Franklin County, Mrs. Andrew Trusler of near this city and George D. Shockley of Humboldt, Iowa.
