The deceased was born in Chatauqua county, New York, May 1, 1839. About the year 1859 he moved to Warren county, Illinois, and on the 9th day of August, 1860 was married to Miss Sarah Mosher, a daughter of David Mosher. On the 18th of January, 1862 he enlisted in the 1st Illinois cavalry, Company G, and served till March 14,1862, when they were discharged by special order No. 270. Returning home he remained in that vicinity till 1869, when he moved to Wayne county, Iowa, and settled on the farm where he has lived ever since, making him a resident of Wayne county a little over twenty years. During the winter of 1875 Mr. Mead joined the M.E. Church, at Cambria, and has been a faithful member until death. About forty-eight hours before he died the friends who were at his bedside noticed him muttering something in his sleep, they spoke to him and he said that he was dreaming. He related what he saw, and told how happy he felt. It seemed as if he could not find words to express his joy. Nothing seemed to trouble him in the least, except the thought of leaving the little ones. Mr. Mead was the father of sixteen children, four of whom are dead and twelve living, all of which were at his bedside, save Alice and Mary, who live in Dakota. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the entire community, in this their sad affliction; and while the family loses a devoted husband and kind father, the community looses one of its best and much respected citizens. FATHER HAS GONE TO A MANSION OF REST, FROM A WORLD OF SORROW AND PAIN; TO THE GLORIOUS LAND OF THE BLEST, WHERE HE CAN NEVER SUFFER AGAIN W.A.M.Jr.
