The funeral was held Saturday forenoon from Bethel church, conducted by Rev. M. E. Reusch, with interment in Bethel cemetery. The deceased was born April 28, 1835, in Lawrence county, Pennsylvania. He came to Wapello about the year 1856 and on March 9, 1861, was united in marriage to Mary Jane Hamilton, who survives him.
