Postville Review
Postville, Allamakee co. Iowa
Friday, August 22, 1913

Mrs. John Jacquis of Corydon, Iowa, and Geo. Murray of Hope,

attend the funeral of their sister, Mrs. J.H. Laughlin.
John Floegel was returned to the County Home near Waukon Tuesday,
being conveyed thither in Henry Lawson's auto and accompanied by
Supervisor Wm. Weihe. Age and its attendant infirmities have been
bearing down heavily on the old fellow of late and he is no
longer able to work or even give himelf the proper personal care,
and hence he has been placed where his well being and comfort
will be best ministered to during the remainder of life's
journey. He has been a Postville resident for many years and yet
little is known of his history prior to his coming here. But back
somewhere among the Yesterdays of life it is presumed that
something must have happened that crushed his faith in humanity
for all time, as he never made a confidant or close friend of
anyone. So far as is known he has no kin in the country.
