At Ninety-One

On Thursday the 10th inst., Martin Sloan, probably the oldest man in Henry county, laid down his living cares and sought rest in the great hereafter.

Especially in Damasous township was he held in high esteem, and to the citizens thereof the taking off of Grandpa Sloan is an occurrence to scatter great grief among his large circle of acquaintances. A large part of his 91 years was spent in Henry county. He leaves seven daughters and two sons besides hosts of grand- and great-grand children, Two sons are dead thus making him the father of eleven children.
