    CIVIL WAR VETERAN DROWNED

    Hiram T. Jonas, Formerly of Bellevue, Meets Watery Grave

    Tragedy Took Place at Bremerton Bay, Washington, Victim Falling Off Pier

    The Danbury, Iowa Review contains the following item of local interest,
since Hiram T. Jonas was a Civil War veteran who enlisted from Bellevue and was
a cousin of the late Mrs. LeRoy Brown of Bellevue. He left Bellevue many years
ago, locating in Western Iowa, the review says:

    Word has been received here that Hiram T. Jonas, a former resident of this
section and well-known to many of our older inhabitants, had accidentally
drowned when he fell off the pier at Bremerton Bay, Washington, he having been
making his home at the Soldiers Home there. "High" Jonas, as he was better
known, left here more than twenty years ago and had never been back. In spite of
the fact that he had never come back, he always had a warm spot in his heart for
the people of this section. The exact date of his death and the particulars were
lacking in the letter received.
