Death followed an operation which he underwent two week's earlier, but from which he was unable to rally because of his enfeebled vitality. Had he lived five days longer he would have been 75 years of age. He was born March 14, 1843 at St. Johnsville, N.Y., where he lived until eight years of age. He then moved with his parents to Sand Spring, Delaware county, Iowa, where he continued to live on a farm until 1908, when he came to Marion where he has resided every [sic] since. During the Civil War, he enlisted as a volunteer, and rendered faithful service in Co. K, 21st Regiment, Iowa Infantry, from which he was honorable discharged. He was united in marriage Dec. 25, 1866 to Miss Catherine Reed at Cascade, Iowa, and to this union were born nine children, two of whom died in early childhood. He is survived by his wife and six children: Mrs. W.A. Curtis of Rockwell, Iowa; A.G. Slauson of Humboldt, Iowa, Mrs. F.E. Wood of Bottineau, N.D.; Garfield Slauson of the Canadian army now in France; Mrs. R.E. Bannister of Cedar Falls, and Floyd Slauson of Marion. Mr. Slauson was a member of the Marion Methodist Episcopal church, having transferred his membership here from the church at Sand Springs where he formerly belonged. He was also a member of the Grand Army of the Republic. He was a man of a quiet temperament but strong in his convictions and friendships--a man work knowing and a friend sincere. He read much and was well informed on the topics of the day. He typified Blackstone's definition of a good citizen, "One who lives honestly, hurts nobody and renders to every man his due." Funeral services were held at the home, 960 Eleventh street, Monday afternoon, conducted by the Rev. A.H. Hanscom of the Methodist church, and assisted by the Rev. Jas. W. Lee of Cedar Rapids. Interment was made in Oak Shade cemetery.
