An Old Resident Gone.

Sunday morning at six o'clock Mr. Morgan FLOWER was discovered dead, having passed away in his sleep at his home in this city. Mr. FLOWER's health had been poorly for some time and since last Wednesday he had been worse than usual, but not considered in a dangerous condition. He had spoken to his wife at two o'clock that morning and at half past two when his son, Orlando FLOWER, was there, he was sleeping quietly. He must have died very soon afterwards.

Mr. FLOWERS (sic) was born in Trumbull county, Ohio, on the twenty-fourth of May, 1810, and grew to manhood there. He came to Iowa in 1845 and lived for a few years in Wapello county, but since 1850, when he located on a farm, in Cedar township, he has lived in Jefferson county. He was married to Nancy DENNIS August 13, 1851, and of the children born to them, Orlando FLOWER, of this city, is the only one now living. They moved to Fairfield eleven years ago and have since resided on South Main street.

The funeral took place from his son's residence Tuesday morning at ten o'clock, just twenty-four hours after the funeral of Mrs. KELLER, Mrs. FLOWER's mother. Rev. Dr. J. F. Magill conducted the services.
