DEATH CLAIMS ANOTHER ALBANY BUSINESS MAN
-----
I. N. Swetnam, Prominent Citizen and Former Mayor, Stricken
Thursday Morning--Died After a Few Hours.
-----
In the death of Mr. I. N. Swetnam which occured at the family home last Thursday evening, Albany lost one of her most respected and progressive citizens.
While Mr. Swetnam had been in failing health for several years, afflicted with high blood pressure and complications, his final sickness was of short duration. He had been up to his place of business on Wednesday and had planned to celebrate Thanksgiving day with his wife, their daughter and family, and he had had a part in the preparations. But on Thursday morning at half past four he was stricken, soon lapsing into unconsciousness, from which he did not rally. Death came at a quarter after five Thanksgiving evening.
Mr. Swetnam made a hard fight to regain his health, which began to fail after a severe attack of sickness about two years ago, but did not succeed. During a part of the time he was able to come to his place of business, but he did not attempt to return to his usual active life. His family and friends noted with sorrow his gradual decline, but all held the hope that a turning point might be reached. On the day before his death he was up town, apparently in his usual health, and there was nothing to indicate the end was so near.
Mr. Swetnam had been a resident of Albany for over seventeen years, coming here in June, 1911. As is known to all, he conducted the Swetnam studio, which for a good many years has been located on the east side of the square. During all of his years here he was found in the forefront of any enterprise of the advancement of the town and community, either in business, moral, educational or religious. He gave freely of his time and money, no one realizing to what extent his purse was touched by his gifts. He was a high type Christian gentleman, a man who, while interested in the success of others, kept close to his own affairs. Being a close business Neighbor of the Ledger, the editor came to know him more or less intimately, and we known of the high ideals he had, the great interest in the welfare of the town and community, and for the uplift of humanity at large.
He was honored by the citizens of the town by being elected mayor for one term, 1922-24, and was solicited to succeed himself in another term, but he declined on account of personal reasons. During his term the town started steps which have since proved among its soundest investments. He was also mayor of another town, Edina, Scotland county, when a resident of that city.
He was a member of the Odd Fellows and Masonic lodges in Albany, and for years took active part in their work. He was also a member of the Methodist church, and gave liberally to its support. At one time he was a member of the official board.
Mr. Swetnam was a native Missourian, being born at Huntsville Randolph County, April 24, 1863. On February 22, 1894, he married Miss Carrie Starks, at Atlanta, Mo., who with the daughter, Mrs. Marie Yeater, survive him. Also two little granddaughters, Gertrude and Yvonne Yeater, survive, to whom he was a most affectionate and indulgent grandfather.
About twelve years ago Mr. and Mrs. Swetnam took an orphan lad Frank Gebhardt, six years old, to rear, and they have been parents to him. Two years ago Frank enlisted in the navy, where he has since been. He spent a month's furlough at home last summer, and expects to return next year to come back to his studies.
Mr. Swetnam is also survived by the following brother and sisters, J. W. Swetnam, Mrs. Mamie Jackson, Mrs. Lulu Johnson, Mrs. Jessie Malone, all of Huntsville; Mrs. Jennie Darr of Cairo.
Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon at the home, attended by a large crowd, and conducted by his pastor, Rev. F. J. Mapel. Burial was at Grandview.

He died of cerebral hemorrhage, aged 60y 7m 5d.
Isaac was buried in Grandview East Cemetery on December 1, 1928.
