Obituary: Rock County, Wisconsin: Edward SARGENT ************************************************************************ Submitted by Ruth Ann Montgomery, April 2008 © All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm ************************************************************************ DIED SARGENT. On Wednesday Dec. 6, 1893, at Garner, Ia., Edward Sargent, aged 49. Funeral at the family residence in this city, this Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock under the auspices of the order of Modern Woodmen. The news of the sudden death of Mr. Sargent cast a gloom over the many friends of this gentleman in this city, and it was with extreme reluctance that they were forced to believe the same as true. On Monday his son Will hearing he was sick started for Iowa to see him and was there some twelve hours before he died. The boyhood days of Mr. Sargent were spent in Janesville, and some thirty odd years has made this city his home. Three years ago, he located in Iowa, purchasing a hardware store, and by close attention to business, not only made friends, but a success otherwise. For many years he has been a victim of rheumatics which told on his robust condition, but with a cheerful heart kept up till the final chord liberated his spirit to the vale beyond. Universally respected by his frineds; honored by his business associates and loved by his family, they one and all feel keenly the loss of a true friend and parent. Mr. Sargent leaves a wife and three children who are nearly heart broken over the sudden death of a dear husband and kind parent, and the many frineds tender their heart felt sympathies to them in this htheir hour of deepest mourning.
