Last week an account of the death and burial of Grandma Scrivener was given. This week the public will be pained to learn that her aged husband died suddenly on last Friday, at the home of his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Lodge, near Bevington. His remains were interred by the side of his wife on Saturday, their funeral being but one week apart.

This worthy couple were natives of Kentucky. They came to St. Charles early in the sixties, secured for themselves a comfortable home in South township where they lived respected and died mourned by all who knew them.

Their children, three sons and two daughters, are all married and respected citizens of Madison county, and in their double bereavement receive the full sympathy of friends and neighbors.

Note: Burial was made in the Close cemetery.

Joseph Scrivner died instantly last Friday while at the residence of Wm. Lodge, near Bevington, sitting in a chair at the time.

On Saturday he was buried beside his wife in the Close cemetery, she having been laid to rest just one week before. It is thought his death was hurried on by that of his wife.

He was 84 years old, an old Iowa Pioneer, and had many friends. The family thus called upon to suffer the bereavement of a father and mother both in a week’s time have a large number of sympathizers.
