DEATH OF OLD FOLKS.- The LeClaire Register notices the death in Le Claire
Township, this county, on the 6th of January, of Abram Stone, Sr., aged 90 years
and on the 22d, Eunice Stone, his relict, aged 87 years. They were born in
Connecticut, lived forty years in Moriah, Essex county, New York, and then
removed to Iowa in 1850. They died surrounded by their children, and their
children's children down even to the fifth generation. Mr. Stone gave his first
vote for Gen. Washington, probably the only man in Iowa who had that pleasure,
although a citizen of Davenport saw Washington and heard him speak.--Davenport
Gazette.
