A paper received by George McLanahan announces the death [of] Joseph H. Drips at his home near Shaffton, Iowa, March 10th at the age of 79 years and 5 days.

Deceased was a resident of this county for sixteen years and is survived by his wife, whose maiden name was Hannah J. Haskins [sic], of Garnavillo, and eight children, two having preceded him in death.

The funeral was held from the church near his home and the hymns were those that Mr. Drips loved and had selected. At the grave a detail of his comrades from De Witt gave the last Grand Army honors and he was laid to rest beside his two sons.
