Deo, one of the sturdy pioneer settlers of Iowa and Hamilton county, answered death's call at his home here Thursday morning at 9:45 o'clock, death being caused by apoplexy. Landlord Deo, as he was commonly known to all, was a man who was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him. He was a man of a peaceful, gentle disposition and during his entire lifetime had never been involved in a law suit, trial or any trouble of this nature. He was a peacemaker and in his gentle commanding way could restore peace and quiet trouble where others could do nothing. During his life he had always been blessed with the best of health and up to the day he was stricken with apoplexy seemed as hearty and strong as ever. He was always in favor of improvements and never failed to do his part for this cause. In his early day in Iowa he was engaged as a wood-chopper and the lessons of perseverance and faithfulness taught him when young always remained with him. Music had its charms for him and the violin was his constant companion. Scarcely a day passed that the old violin was unused and it was his greatest delight to furnish music for the guests at the hotel. He always looked forward with pride to the growth and industry of Stratford. Being a pioneer settler of Stratford he often told of plowing corn where Stratford now stands. He was a kind old gentleman, just in his dealings, a good father and a good husband. In this case the devotion of the husband and wife was beautiful. Years strengthened the bond between them and on February 22nd, 1906 the worthy couple celebrated their golden wedding anniversary - fifty years of happy married life. Deceased seemed to be in his usual good health, but two weeks ago Monday evening, during the supper hour, he complained of a dizzy sensation in his head. The matter was afterwards overlooked but in the evening while attending his duties at the night passenger he suffered a stroke of apoplexy from which he never recovered consciousness. All medical aid was in vain and on Thursday morning the Master called him home. His life was an exemplification of the First Psalm, "and whatsoever he did prospered." He will be greatly missed by the people of Stratford and vicinity, but the good deeds done while here will always remain with us. Stratford Courier May 30, 1907 Obituary Deo Anson C.
