SABULA- 

Our well known and esteemed fellow citizen and merchant, A. W. Day, whose 
health has been quite precarious for some time past, was taken ill last week, 
and despite the best medical treatment and the solicitous care of his family, 
he rapidly grew worse, and died on Thursday in his 61st year. His funeral took 
place on Thursday last, at the M.E.Church, and his remains were escorted to 
Evergreen Cemetery by Chauncey Lawrence Post, Grand Army of the Republic, of 
which he had been a beloved member, and followed by a large concourse of our 
people. Mr. Day was an old settler of Sabula, having come here from Tioga 
County, New York, his native place, in 1849. He was a veteran of the late war 
and had participated in the battle of Port Gibson and in the seige of 
Vicksburg. In 1862 he enlisted in the 24th Iowa Volunteer Infantry and served 
throughout the war, being discharged in July, 1865. In every capacity Mr. Day 
evinced the qualities of a good, true man and a worthy citizen. His loss to the 
community will be sincerely deplored by all. The universal sympathy is extended 
to the bereaved family and relatives.
