DIED-

McCarron-
Hiram W. McCarron was born September 1, 1827, at Akron, Ohio. In August, 1899 
he was stricken with paralysis and never fully recovered. He had been confined 
to his home two weeks, passing away at 5 o’clock Tuesday morning, February 
4th. He leaves a wife, one daughter, Mrs. Flora Maskrey and one son, G. L. to 
mourn their loss.

At the age of eighteen he began to advocate the anti-slavery and other reform 
movements. In 1829 he removed to Berea, Ohio, where he married Miss Sarah 
Tompkins in 1821. During that year he investigated spiritualism and became a 
firm believer in that philosophy, which he lived up to and advocated through 
his life. In 1855 he removed with his family to Jackson county, where he has 
since resided. He first settled in Farmer’s Creek township, where he entered 
the hardwood lumber business, in which he continued until the financial panic 
of 1857, of which he was a victim. He removed to Maquoketa in 1860 and became 
active in all reform movements, especially on the school question. He was 
aggressive, but it must be said that he was always true and firm to his 
convictions; living as he talked; accepting his own advice or suggesting as 
his guide for right living. No man lived more true to his convictions. His 
life was full of activity and was rounded out like the ripened fruit.

The funeral services will be conducted by Harrison D, Barrett, President of 
the National Spiritualists association of Washington, D. C. at two o’clock 
Friday afternoon at Centennial Hall. Interment will follow at Mt. Hope 
cemetery.
