GONE TO HIS LONG HOME

About four o'clock, Sunday afternoon, J. C. (sic J.F.) Scribner, Esq., better known as Colonel Scribner, died at his residence, on the hill, after a long and painful illness, aged seventy one years.

The funeral services took place Monday afternoon, and were attended by a large concourse of the neighbors and friends of the deceased. Rev. A. E. Arnold officiated. The remains were interred in the LeMars Cemetery.

Col. Scribner first came to LeMars in the summer of 1870, from Janesville, Wisconsin, where he had resided over twenty years. In the spring of 1871, he permanently located here with his family, and has since been identified with the town and county. He was a good citizen, public spirited, a staunch friend, a kind husband and father. He leaves a wife and six children, four of who were with him when he died.
