Thomas Irwin, one of the oldest settlers of Holt Township, died last week at the age of 93 years. Mr. Irwin has been identified with the early history of Holt Township and his mind was full of reminiscences extending back for half a century. He had the confidence and esteem of the entire community, and will be sadly missed.

This week we are called upon to chronicle the death of one of our oldest and most highly respected citizens, Thos. Irwin, whose death occurred at the home of his son, Wm. Irwin on last Wednesday, April 10th. Mr. Irwin was born in Ireland June 29, 1819 and at the time of his death was 92 years, 9 months and 19 days of age. On Nov 10, 1864, he was married to Miss Margaret [Ann] Hargin. To this union ten children were born, three dying in infancy and seven children with the devoted wife are left to mourn his death. The subject of this sketch has lived in Iowa since 1869 and a greater portion of his time he has been a resident of Holt Township. Mr. Irwin at his advanced age was a very hardy gentleman, retained his faculties well and could easily recognize old acquaintances. His last illness was pneumonia and lasted only about three days. Funeral services were held at the residence conducted by Irving E. Wade assisted by Rev. E. Rhodes and burial took place in Gravity cemetery.
