From the Dubuque Telegraph Herald, 14 February 1890 (Friday):
Death of T. S. Nairn
The Grippe Carries Off Another Esteemed Citizen of Dubuque.
Again the messenger of death has entered Dubuque and robbed the city of one of her
most trusted and 
beloved citizens and with sorrow was the announcement received yesterday morning
that Thos. S. Nairn 
had ceased to live. The death of a true, good patriot and noble citizen is always a
great loss to a 
community, but the death of Mr. Nairn is a sad blow to Dubuque. The deceased was
born in 
Washington county, Maryland, Feb 16, 1822, where he brew(sic) up to manhood, then
went to Mobile, 
Alabama, where he resided and in 1945(sic) he came to Iowa, locating in Dubuque.
Shortly after coming 
to Dubuque he entered the surveyor general's office and there remained for seventeen
years, during 
which time he supervised the surveys of a great deal of land in Iowa, Wisconsin and
Minnesota. In 1861 
he went to Washington, D. C. and engaged in the drug business for five or six years.
In 1867 he 
returned to Dubuque and engaged in the leather business and continued in it until
his death, which 
occurred at 7 o'clock Thursday morning. For several years he was secretary of the
Linwood cemetery 
association, and was a regular attendant at St. John's Episcopal church. In 1848
ne(sic) was married to 
Miss Henrietta Karrick, a native of Madison county, Mo., who died some time ago. He
leaves three sons 
and one daughter, One son, George, is a resident of Webster City. John, Joseph and
Mary reside in 
Dubuque. A brother of the deceased lives in Washington, D. C. and has been
notified.
   Tee(sic) funeral will be held from the residence on Alpine street Sunday
afternoon, conducted by Rev. 
W. B. Walker, assisted by Rev. H. E. Most.
