(1) DEEDS - Hiram Deeds was born in Beaver Co. Pa., July 11, 1813, and 
died in Wasioja, Minn., Nov 23, 1889.  He was married to Marilla Oakley 
April 10, 1836; moved to Minnesota in 1876.  His wife died Nov 25, 1867.  
Twenty-two years later, at the same hour, on the same day, and the same 
day of the month, the funeral sermon of Bro. Deeds was preached.  He was 
a good neighbor and a kind husband.  He was often heard in secret prayer 
communing with his God.  He rests in hope.  R.P. FOLSOM
