An Old Citizen Gone

Hon. Alfred Hood, one of the early settlers of Madison county, died at his home just north of the city Wednesday night. Last spring he had a stroke of paralysis that came near ending his life, but he rallied and got about again, though never recovering complete use of his muscles. A few days ago he was taken down again, and after lingering a short time, passed away.

Mr. Hood was past eighty years of age, and a pioneer in Iowa. In 1861-2 he represented Madison county in the state legislature. He was born in North Carolina in 1808, emigrated to Indiana in 1829. In 1843 he came to Iowa and settled in Mahaska county, and removed to Madison county in 1856, where he made his home till his death.
