John A. Bredin.

The remains of John A. Bredin of McIntosh, S.D., who formerly lived just south of Lockridge, were brought to this place for burial services being held from the Upland church last Sunday afternoon at 2:30 and interment was made in the Upland cemetery.

Mr. Bredin lived in Jefferson county until 1898, when he went to Texas; and from there to South Dakota, where he took up a claim and had proved up on it. He never married and lived alone on the claim. Neighbors found him dead in his home, and it is thought he had died of heart trouble about December 18th, several days before the body was found.

He was born in Jarda parish, Skaraborg county, Sweden, a son of Mr .and Mrs. Andrew Bredin ,and would have been sixty-nine years of age on the 28th of the present month. He is survived by five sisters and two brothers, of these the following were present at the funeral: Mrs. Andrew Johnson, Lockridge; Mrs. Louisa Sundberg, Cedar Rapids; Mrs. Emilia Lawson, Chicago; Frank Bredine [sic], Moline, Ill., and William Bredin of Kansas.
