OBITUARY

Henry E. Huston was born in Columbia, Ann, Co [sic] Ohio, September 2[1 or 4], 1856.

He came to Iowa with his parents in the spring of 1864, and was married to Miss Alma Sewell, of Bonaparte, on the 17th of April, 1889.

Together they went west September 8, 1889. Returning to their home some four years ago, Mr. Huston settled on the farm on which he died Sunday, Nov. 11, 1897.

He leaves to mourn his loss a wife and little son, a mother, four brothers and one sister.

Mr. Huston was a loving husband, father and brother. To know him was to like him, and not only is his loss felt by kindred, but his neighbors and friends join as one family in grief at the loss of a kind and noble friend.

The funeral services occurred at his late home Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 9, 1897, conducted by Rev. G. W. Barber, of Farmington, and the remains were deposited in the Bonaparte cemetery. An unusually large concourse of sympathizing friends followed the remains to their last resting place.
