L. Brown Mapes, in his 61st year, died this (Friday) morning, of paralysis. Funeral from Congregational church Sunday afternoon.
(The Moline Review Dispatch - December 21, 1894)
L. Brown Mapes died at 7:30 o'clock Friday A.M. at his home in the Deere row, after an illness of paralysis and nervous prostration of nearly fourteen weeks' duration, aged 60 years.
Deceased was born in May, 1834, at Pleasant Mount, Wayne county, Pa., and came to Moline in 1854, where he has resided ever since, with the exception of three or four years spent at Atlanic, Iowa. He served through the entire war, being a member of Company H, 19th Illinois volunteer infantry, and was an ardent member of Graham Post No. 312, G. A. R. He was married in this city Nov. 27, 1876, to Mrs. Mary McClemans (the Rev. C. E Barnard officiating), who survives him, as do also his father, the venerable 'Squire Ellsworth Mapes (who is now in his 90th year), and two sisters - Mrs. Alma Kidder of Monmouth and Mrs Anna L. Dimock of this city; and two brothers - Henry E. and E. Anthony Mapes.
Although not a member of any church, Mr. Mapes was a constant attendant, and could be seen every Sunday in his pew, well up to the front, in the First Congregational church, where he was an attentive listener. To his sister, while on his death bed, he remarked that his creed was: "God is love, He judges us." He was free hearted and generous to a fault, and leaves very many friends, who have from day to day anxiously inquired concerning his condition. He suffered intensely, and especially through last night, although at the last his sufferings relaxed and the end came easily.
The funeral took place Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the First Congregational church, under the auspices of Graham Post, Rev. T. B. Willson officiating.
