    3. Burlington Weekly Hawkeye Burlington, Des Moines co. Iowa February 11, 1860 DEATH OF OLD FOLKS.- The LeClaire Register notices the death in Le Claire Township, this county, on the 6th of January, of Abram Stone, Sr., aged 90 years and on the 22d, Eunice Stone, his relict, aged 87 years. They were born in Connecticut, lived forty years in Moriah, Essex county, New York, and then removed to Iowa in 1850. They died surrounded by their children, and their children's children down even to the fifth generation. Mr. Stone gave his first vote for Gen. Washington, probably the only man in Iowa who had that pleasure, although a citizen of Davenport saw Washington and heard him speak.--Davenport Gazette.
