OBITUARY.

Editors Ledger:-- Stephen HICKENBOTTOM, who died near Glendale, March 12th, was born in Kentucky, September 28th, 1825. In 1838, at the age of thirteen years he came with his parents to Iowa. In 1846 he was married to Caroline M. TAYLOR, who survives him. Twelve children were born to them--four sons and eight daughters. One died at the age of six months, and the others are yet living. Nine of these children were present at their father's funeral, five living in this county and four in Nebraska. A brother and two sisters were also here on that occasion. From 1853 to 1860 Mr. H. resided near Centerville, in Appanoose County. In the latter year he removed to a farm near Glasgow, and a few years later to the place near Glendale, where he died. Funeral services were held at the Parsonsville Church on March 14th, conducted by Rev. J. E. Wilkins.

A precious one from us is gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
