Last week, I posted the obituary of Dr. Elam Stafford. This week, I’m posting an death notice of his brother, Henry Stafford. Both of them were brothers to my husband’s 3rd great-grandfather, Eli Stafford. All three were sons of Thomas Stafford and Elizabeth Boswell.

DIED.
Henry Stafford died at his home, 115 Second avenue west, on Dec. 13, of old age, aged 86 years, 2 months, and 3 days. Deceased was born in Indiana but had lived in Iowa 62 years. Deceased leaves a wife, and many friends, in whose memory of the departed will ever linger the recollections of an exempliary life. Thus passes away one of Mahaska’s oldest pioneers. Obituary next week.
