DIED--At his home of Lehigh, at 10 minutes past one o'clock p.m., on Tuesday, January 26, 1904, Steven Fountain, aged 56 years, 3 months and 22 days.
Steven Fountain was born in Jackson county, Indiana, Oct. 4, 1847. In the spring of 1859 he removed with his parents to this vicinity where he has resided ever since.
He was married in 1870 to Miss Elizabeth Barlow. To this union five children were born, three boys and two girls, four of whom are living. Bert and Willie, both married, are living here, Clara B. is at home and Mrs. Florence Faulkner lives at Duenweg. The oldest son died in infancy. Besides his wife and children he leaves two brothers and one sister to mourn their loss, John Fountain resides here and Thomas at Rogers, Ark., and the sister, Mrs. Sarah Madden, at Carterville, Missouri.
In Mr. Fountain the community has lost an honest, upright citizen, a man whose influence was always felt on the right side of justice. A true friend and a truthful, earnest, conscientious counselor, he was one of natures noblemen.
Being thrown into the midst of the fearful struggle during the Civil War he was perforce compelled to take an active part. He was always true to the old flag and did all in his power to retain its unsullied purity. Although never a strong, robust man, he was ever cheerful and contented and always had a warm greeting and a cheerful word for all his friends, which embraced all his acquaintances and he was well known over a large territory.
He was not a church member but was always deeply interested in the cause and in the welfare of his associates. In his quiet and kindly way he endeared himself to many by little acts of kindness both in deed and word. The community has sustained a loss That will be felt for many days, in the death of one of its most esteemed members.
Mr. Fountain was a member of the IOOF, the Encampment, the Rebekahs, the K. and L. of S., and the A.H.T.A.
The funeral services were held at the Baptist church at 2 o'clock Wednesday, under the auspices of the fraternal orders, conducted by Rev. Ferguson, of Jasper City. Interment was made in the city cemetery.
