Gen. Belnap Dies In Washington
Jackson Sentinel, October 16, 1890.

Death of General Wm. W. Belknap-

Gen. Wm. W. Belknap, formerly a resident of Keokuk, was found dead in his room 
in Washington, D. C., Sunday morning, October 12th, 1890. Gen. Belknap served 
as Secretary of War under President Grant, and by reason of certain scandals 
attaching to his office, gained unenviable fame. His age was 61 years. The 
coroner’s inquest, held later, showed the immediate cause of his death, to be 
inflammation of the heart.
