Death of Jacob GraadilOmme,

Jacob Grandhomme, an old and respectable
cltlzen of lrOntOn, Mo-, died If his home on
Wednesday morning, the 9Th inst, after a
protracted Illness, aged a years and
months. The deceased was born in the
kline Providence of Hesse Damstadt, Ger
many. and emgrated TO this country when
2. years old. He located for short time i'm
81. Louis, and then in 1860 went to Ironton,
Where he resided up to the time of his death.
In that period he was twice married, his first
wife dying during the war. He afterwards
espoused Miss Amanda Weiss, who, with
three daughters and one son, survive him.
Although MIR. Grandhomme came here Il
poor man he had accumulated considerable
property. He was known to wide circle
rs an honest man, good neighbOr and eX-
ceilent citizen. His funeral on the Sth inst.
was one of the largest that overlook place in
Arcadia valley. He was coroner of Iron
county Tor many years.-St Louis RepubH-
can.
Mr.. Grandhomme also occupied the posi-
ton of postmaster of Ironton for sometime,
soon after the close of TIE war. And it may
be truthfully said that in every position oc-
cupied by him he acquitted himself with
sound Judgment, with ability, and sterling
integrity.
Mr.. GrandhOmme's place in the communi-
ty will be sadly missed by a wide circle of
friends who were always made to feel the
more happy in his genial presence.
Mr.. Grandhomme was generous to fault.
He was honest and true in every fibre and
tissue of his heart and nature.
He was Il quiet unostentatiOus man, who
loved his family and his friends: man
whose benevolence and kindness We're the
best expression, and the most convincing
evidence of manly and deeply religious ma
ture.
To his estimable family we extend SINGER
est sympathy and confidence. But their
sorrow may be sweetened by the Christians
answer to the inquiry of Job: "If a man die
shall he live again."
