He was loyal to the country of his adoption. He enlisted in Co. "L", 7th Missouri Cavalry where he served till sometime n '63 or 4, when he was mustered out on account of a severe wound he received.

In 1865 Mr Gagnebin moved to Sidney where he resided till November 1892. He then went to South Auburn, Nebraska. Mr. Gagnebin was a surveyor and draughtsman. He held the position of county surveyor of Fremont Co., Iowa, for many years. At the time of his death and for four weeks previous he had been doing plat work for Richardson county, Neb.

His death as sudden and unexpected. He got up in usual health Saturday morning and went to his work in the court house; about ten o'clock he stopped work on account of the heat, complaining of a slight head ache. He ate a hearty supper that evening and then went to the post offce for his mail, came home and played with the children at the private boarding place where he was stopping. He went to bed in his usual spirits.

On Mr. Gagnebin's failure to appear at the usual time Sunday morning not much uneasiness was felt as it was thought he might be tired but later upon investigation it was found that during the night he had passed quietly away.

Mr. Gagnebin was a member of the Baptist church, also of the G. A. R. and the A. F. & A. M. He was a man universally beloved and respected by all who knew him. He leaves a wife and eight children to mourn his loss, six daughters and two sons all of whom were present except the daughter living in Glenwood.

The funeral services took place from St. Pauls Lutheran church of Auburn, Neb. and were under the auspices of the masonic fraternity. The church was beautifully decorated and the people of Auburn did every thing in their power for the bereaved family. The family have the sincere sympathy of friends in Sidney.
