Towne, as announced last week, passed away Thursday afternoon, September 9 at the home of his son, K. Towne. He had shown signs of failing health for several months but only during the last few weeks of his life did his condition become alarming. Advanced years, being past 81, had enfeebled him and an attack of the la grippe during the spring had materially reduced his viltatiy. He made a trip during the summer to Colorado, hoping to be benefited thereby, but he found it quite lonely among strangers, and soon returned. Dr. Towne settled in Carroll county 1876 on a farm, the present home place, west of town, where he raised a large family, the eldest child, E. W., being but 16 when he came to the county. In the meantime he practiced medicine in the locality and for years enjoyed a good practice, many old time neighbors ascribing the saving of their lives to his treatment. Several years ago, age creeping on, he moved to Coon Rapids, where he practiced for a time, but gradually retired. Dr. Towne was a man of many admirable parts. He was conservative, fair and judicious. He always seemed to want first of all to be just in his judgments and was therefore slow to form opinions and cautious in expressing them when formed. He was always genial and kind and thoughtful, and we doubt if anyone ever entertained ill feeling towards him. Everybody appeared to admire Dr. Towne, and many sincerely mourn his death. Edmond Bert Towne was born at Hudson, Ohio, June 6, 1828. Died at Coon Rapids, Iowa, September 9, 1909, aged 81 years, 3 months and 3 days. When he was about five years old his parents moved to Rockford, Illinois where he grew to manhood. He graduated from Rush Medical College in 1850. Afterward studied medicine with his uncle, Dr. Israel Towne. He practiced medicine in Wisconsin and different places in Iowa, finally settling at Lowdan, Iowa, where he lived and practiced medicine for many years, moving from there to Carroll county in 1876. He was married to Martha A Wood, at Bellveue, Iowa, August S, 1853. His wife died June 28, 1865, at Lowdan, Iowa. To this union was born eight children—Chas. R., Cora, Alice, Etta, Edmond, Wood, Amandy Dennison and Orren, two dying in infancy. He was married to Angelina E. Harold in Lowdan July 27, 1874. To this union three children were born Jay King, Clara Mae, and Frank Harold. His second wife died May 13, 1907. After her death the doctor lived for a while alone in the old home but has since made his home with his daughter, Mrs. M. M. Curry, and his son, J. K. Towne. Besides many friends and acquaintances, Dr. Towne leaves nine children to mourn his death—Chas. Towne of Hastings, Nebraska, Mrs. Cord Piper, Mrs. Etta Piper, Edmond Towne, and Dennison Towne all of Maywood, Nebraska. Also two brothers, S. Towne, Farley, Iowa, and D. K. Towne of Kansas City. The funeral service was conducted in the M. E. church by Rev. Gibson and interment was made in the Coon Rapids cemetery beside his wife.
