Abraham Ast-
The sudden death of Abraham Ast at his home on North Olive Street at 5 o’clock 
Sunday morning was a great surprise to his relatives, friends and 
acquaintances. Abraham As was a moulder in the foundry at Barnes Brothers. He 
was past 26 years of age and had been married about two years. He leaves a 
young wife broken down with grief and an infant three months old. Many friends 
and relatives mourn his sudden demise. He was an industrious upright young man 
devoted to his little family and took pride in being a good citizen and a man 
among men. He was a Past Grand Officer of Jackson Lodge I. O. O. F. of 
Maquoketa. He carried a $2500 policy in the Odd Fellows life insurance, a 
worthy blessing which he leaves to support the widow and the fatherless infant.

The funeral occurred at the Congregational Church yesterday afternoon and the 
floral decorations of the casket were as fine as ever before seen at a funeral 
in Maquoketa. The beautiful anchor was provided by request of relatives of 
deceased in Pennsylvania. The funeral cortege was a very long one, the fire 
department of which he was a member and the Odd Fellows were out in uniform 
and a long line of carriages followed the body to the grave.
