[Henry Republican, Henry, IL, Published January 23, 1873] Contributed by: Nancy Piper Donald, Jackson Vinton—Jackson Donald of Garrison, past 90 years old, died shortly after the death of his wife, who was nearly the same age as himself. Grief and the shock over her death contributed largely to his death. He was one of the earliest settlers of this section and the father of A. J. Donald, cashier of the People’s Savings bank of Garrison. (“Aged Couple Called By Death,” Kellogg Enterprise, January 21, 1916) Hansel, Daniel In Benton county, Iowa, Aug. 3, of inflammation, Daniel Hansel, aged 46 years. Mr. Hansel was formerly a resident of Marshall county, Illinois, having moved to Benton county, Iowa, in 1867, where he resided until removed by death. Although his sufferings were intense, yet he was patient and resigned, and earnestly prayed for mercy and pardon from the hand of God. As a man and citizen he was above reproach, and his life was that of one who always did as he would wish to be done by. He was a kind father and an affectionate husband, and leaves a beloved wife and family to mourn his loss. [Henry Republican, Henry, IL, Published August 22, 1872] Contributed by: Nancy Piper
