newspaper: Denison Bulletin
Mr. John Mount, 76, died suddenly at his home in north Denison this Thursday 
morning at 4:30 o'clock, although apparently in his usual health when retiring 
at night. Death came without warning. His immediate family, consisting if his 
wife, son, Richard and daughter, Alice were at home when death came. 
The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the 
Presbyterian church, Rev. J. G. Leitch officiating. Interment will take place 
in Oakland Cemetery, the Odd Fellows, of which Mr. Mount was a member, having 
charge of the services. 
John Mount was born in Yorkshire, England, October 31, 1857, the son of 
Richard and Ann Mount. At the Age of six months he came with his parents to 
America, first making their home in Iowa County, about two miles south of the 
town of Amana, where the family resided until 1881, when they moved to 
Crawford County and settled on a farm two miles south of Charter Oak.
In 1887 < mistype?>, Mr. Mount was united in marriage with Miss Harriet Taylor 
of Mapleton, Iowa and to this union four children were born, namely: Glenn, 
who died at the age of three months; Clara, who passed away September 21, 
1928; and Richard and Alice at home. After coming to Denison, the Mounts lived 
with his father for a time and in later years erected a fine modern home in 
which they took much comfort, and where they resided for many years. 
The deceased had been an active of the Odd Fellows lodge in Denison for 33 
years, and was the recipient of a 30-year gold jewel, presented to him by the 
order. He religiously affiliated with the Presbyterian church of Denison, and 
attended the services regularly. 
For many years Mr. Mount was a heavy dealer in real estate, and at one time 
was possessed of more than 1,500 acres of land in South Dakota, and 
considerable acreage in Iowa. He was a shrewd trader, and when making a deal, 
relied upon his own judgement rather than on others. When the price of land 
began to decline, Mr. Mount was unable to unload his extensive holdings, and 
he suffered sever loss. 
He was a kindly gentleman, a home lover and took much interest in the affairs 
of the nation, state and county. The Bulletin joins with many friends in 
extending condolences to the family, which composed of the widow, the son, 
Richard, and the daughter, Alice.
