"W.D. Lashbrook Dies Suddenly in Washington
Well Known Waverly Man Thought Ill Short Time.
The message received by Dave Tyrrell Thanksgiving day stated that his brother-in-law, Watt D. Lashbrook, had died the previous evening at his home in Centralia, Wash. No particulars were given as to his illness.
W. D. Lashbrook, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Lashbrook, was born at Woodstock, McHenry county, Ill., March 16, 1852, and in 1856 when four years old, he came with his parents to Bremer county, Iowa, where they settled on a farm near Frederika. They came to Waverly a few years later when his father built a farm home a half mile northeast of Waverly, the place now occupied by John Sebilsky. Mr. Lashbrook attended public schools and was among the first to be graduated from the Waverly high school.
Jan. 4, 1881, Mr. Lashbrook was married to Miss Alice Tyrrell of Waverly. For a time, they lived on a farm and then moved to Waverly where Mr. Lashbrook was engaged in the farm implement business. Later they moved to Cedar Falls where they lived a number of years before going to Centralia. For many years he was a member of the Waverly Masonic lodge and he served as councilman several terms.
The Lashbrook family was prominent in the business affairs of this city and a number of present-day business places were erected by Mr. Lashbrook's father, among these being the three- story building now owned by George Kohlmann, the third story of which was used exclusively as a theater and for other amusements until 1877 when the opera house was built. He also constructed the stores occupied by the Club cafe, Nemmer's hardware, and the J.W. Zoller meat market. In addition to these he built a number of dwelling houses. He was the first man in the county to engage in bee raising on an extensive scale and for many years operated a large sugar bush at the northeast edge of town, where great quantities of maple sugar and syrup were made.
Mr. Lashbrook is survived by his wife and three children, Dr. E. E. Lashbrook of Marble Rock, Warren T. Lashbrook of Chehalis, Wash., and Mrs. Mable Easton of Eagan, Wash.; also two grandchildren, one great grandchild, and his brother, Clarence Lashbrook who lives in Arkansas."
