Sioux Valley News, 10 June 1886, page 1:

On Sunday, June 6, 1886, Zalmon Livermore died at his residence at Oto at the age of 71 years, 10 months and 23 days. He was born in German Twp., Chenango Co., New York. In 1832 he went to Ohio and in 1839 to Iowa, settling in Jackson County. He was married to Miss Olive C. Hall October 4, 1848, who with seven children survive him. In 1867 the family settled in Woodbury County on the Little Sioux where their home has been since. Mr. Livermore has been in good health for an old man but a few weeks ago returned from a trip to Chicago, where in his younger days he had the offer of 160 acres of land, now worth thousands of dollars, for a horse. He took sick on Wednesday and died at 6 a.m. Sunday. Several hours before his death he fell into a deep sleep and opened his eyes but once afterward, when his son Charles tried to rouse him, passing away peacefully and quietly. Funeral services were held Monday from the residence. He was buried beside his daughter, Seba, in the Correctionville Cemetery. Rev. D.P. Billings of Smithland conducted the services. The children here are Mrs. Myron Beals and Mrs. Ed Furgason of Oto, Mrs. C.W. Hepburn of Correctionville, Charles and Elmer of Oto, Frank and Joe Livermore of Wolf Dale. A beautiful farm of 900 acres well stocked, is left to maintain the family. Mr. Livermore was one of the four men who platted Maquoketa and in which he put up the first frame house. During the war he was kept out of service from the loss of an eye. He showed his interest in the union cause by conveying several companies, at his own expense, from Maquoketa to Dubuque.
