John Brost, died at St. Francis Home, Dubuque, Iowa, on October 22, 1923 at 2:00 p.m. Mr. Brost was born at Johnsburg, Wisconsin on March 26, 1846. At this place he spent all his years until the Civil War broke out. He then enlisted and served in the Co. K. 35th Wisconsin Voluntary Infantry until the end of the war.
On July 16, 1867, he was married to Katherine Brumm at Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Seven years were spent there. They then moved to Stacyville, Iowa, being amongst the pioneer settlers, there they remained for thirty years. They then retired from active life and spent one year in traveling.
After this, they settled at New Hampton, Iowa, where they lived for eleven years. Seven years ago last September, they moved to St. Francis Home in Dubuque, Iowa where he and his wife lived their declining years in comfort and
contentment. Mrs. Brost preceded him by death less than two months before. He was gradually failing since she passed away and while he did not complain, it was plainly seen that he was constantly pining and mourning for the one who had been his devoted helpmate for so many years. Six years ago last July, they celebrated their golden wedding anniversary.
Ten children were born into this union; nine of who are living, and one having died at the age of five years.
In his younger days, Mr. Brost was a blacksmith by trade. Later on, he became affiliated with the International Harvester Co. and for years, he was a most efficient salesman and mechanic. His territory reached through Iowa and the Dakotas. He also owned and maintained one of the best farms in Mitchell County. He was a hard working man, never tiring of labor, a good provider for his family, whose welfare he kept constantly before him.
He was a member of Hyde Clark Post G.A.R. Dubuque, Iowa, whose large flag draped his casket after death and during the impressive funeral services. The services were conducted by Father Nable of St. Francis Home, assisted by
Monsignor Herr of Dubuque. At the lowering of the casket, the bugle call was sounded for the last time for one who in life was ever true and loyal to God and to his country. His six sons acted as pallbearers.
He was sick but a few days and his daughter, Sister M. Stella, was the only member of his family at his bedside when death came. The rest of the children all arrived home after death.
He leaves to mourn the loss of a kind and loving father, three daughters and six sons; Joseph of Milwaukee, Lambert of Stratford, Wisconsin, Mrs. Hillard Ganser (Anna) of Stacyville,Iowa, John of Canby, Minnesota, George of Walker, Minnesota, Mrs. John Jasper (Julia) of Bovey, Minnesota, Sister M. Stella (Rosa) of Dubuque, Iowa; Matt of North St. Paul, Minnesota and Anton of St Paul, Minnesota.
Mr. Brost was of a noble character, honest, upright and fair in all dealings. Anyone in need of help always found a helping hand through him. His remains were laid to rest on Thursday, October 25, 1923, besides that of his wife in beautiful Mt. Calvary cemetery, at Dubuque, Iowa.
