Funeral Services of the Late Ira Steffin

Hortonville, June 4- The funeral services of Ira Steffin,
who died at Appleton, May 29, were conducted on Sunday
afternoon, June 1, by the Rev. W. Mitchell at the Union
church, Hortonville.  Mr. Steffin was a son of Francis and
Isabelle Steffin.  His father was a soldier of the civil war
and died about the time the war closed, the G.A.R. post of
Hortonville is named in honor of his memory.  The subject of
this notice was a young man of many excellent quailities of
heart and mind, and his early demise id deeply deplored by a
large circle of intimate friends.  He was nearly 24 years of
age, and died of that dread disease- consumption.  He was a
member of the I.O.O.F. and his brethren attended the funeral
in a body, conducting the exercises at the grave.  Mrs.
Steffin, his mother, and the brothers and sisters feel most
keenly the bereavement they are called to suffer, and have
the sympathy of all.
