G. +. Capron, one of the old settlers
of the county, former well-known
stock breeder and raiser of Logan
township, and a prominent resident of
place at 1880 O'clock this morning of
a complication of diseases. The imme-
date cause of his death was internal
hemorrhage. Death was quite sudden,
and came as the end of sickness that
began early last winter.
DR." Capron, as ne was Familiarity
known, was forced to take to his bed
seven weeks ago. and altho he con-
tinued i'll, his sickness was not con-
sidered especially dangerous until a
short time before his death.
Mr.. Capron was very we'll known in
this city. For years he was a director
in the City National Bank.
Was Self Made Man.
Greenfield Fiheld Capron was born
in Amboy, Ohio, June 10, 1886. He re-
celved the nickname of Doc" because
of his being named after DR.. Fifield. the
familys physician. Young Capron' S

couple and their one child came to
Marshall county and settled on a farm
three miles east of Melbourne. The
station of Capron, near Melbourne, on
the State Center branch of the Iowa
Central, was named after Mr.. Capron.
Mr.. Capron, soon after settling on the
Logan township farm, engaged in the
breeding and raising of blooded cattle,
a business which he developed extern
sively, and in which he proved most
successful. His success was due chief
ly to indefatigability and hte vigor-
BUSINESS with which he prosecuted his
work. No day was too long nor too
cold for him to be out busy with his
herds all of the time.
Moved to State Center in 1893.
Mr.. Capron left the farm and moved
to State Center in 1898, where he
formed a partnership with NJ. c. Da-
kin, formerly of that place, and en-
gagged in buying and selling cattle. He
continued in this business until three
years ago, since which time he has re-
tired from active business.

and indulgent father, and kind and
obliging neighbor.
