AGED RESIDENT
PASSED AWAY
JOHN ASBURY, AN INMATE OF
ST. VINCENT'S HOME,
DIED YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.
John Asbury, one of the pioneer settlers of Adams county, and a highly respected citizen, died at St. Vincent's Home yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock after a six months' illness of paralysis and senility.
The greater part of the time he was able to be up and around, but three weeks ago, his condition grew rapidly worse. Last Sunday, the aged man suffered another stroke of paralysis, and from that time on, until his death, he sank rapidly; and it was seen by the relatives and friends that the end was near.
He was born in Kentucky in 1837, and at the time of his death was 75 years old. When a child, he came to this state with his parents, where he resided for thirty years, at which time he moved to Missouri, where he lived until his wife passed away about ten years ago, being engaged in farming the greater part of the time.
After the death of his wife, he returned to Quincy, and made his home with relative until three years ago, when he entered St. Vincent's Home.
He was a devout Catholic, and for a number of years was a member of St. Peter's church of this city.
He is survived by one sister, Mrs. Ellen Moore, of this city; six daughters, residing in Missouri, and two brothers, George of Marcelline Missouri and Blaxton of Loraine Illinois.
The funeral arrangements have not been completed, but will be announced later.
