Poston Death has claimed, after a hard-fought battle, one of the oldest, if not the oldest, pioneers in this section of Iowa. I. N. Poston, eighty years of age, is dead and his body lies in peaceful slumber in the soil which he, with other sturdy pioneers of the early days, did so much to make habitable and fertile. With the knowledge that he could never win in the fight, he faced death as courageoulsy and unflinchingly as he ever faced the trying days of early pioneer life. He suffered no particular pain but the misery he felt and the thoughts of his helplessness during the last few weeks of his life made his death a lamentable one. His last sickness, which began in March, was heart trouble and most of the time he was in bed. Toward the last, he was unconscious and he never knew when the end was at hand. Mr. Poston was born in Overton County, Tennessee, October 2, 1826 and departed this life June 27, 1907. At the age of seventeen years he moved with his parents to southern Missouri, where in 1849, the year of the California gold fever, he was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Baker. To this union were born ten children, but three of them preceded the father in death. The surviving ones are: Mrs. Mary Mitchell, the eldest, who has lived with the family since the death of her husband, Mrs. Martha Buckley of Aurora, Kansas and Mrs. Fanny Sampson, R. S., J. T. and A. W. Poston of this place and J. B. Poston of Perth, Oklahoma. R. S. was the first white male child born in Adams County. All the children were present during the last sickness of their father. Mrs. Poston, the mother, who had been the companion of her husband in all his undertakings for nearly fifty-seven years, is also left to share the bereavement of the sorrowing children. She is seventy-six years old.
