In our last issue we announced the death of an old and honored citizen, Amos Breed, a man widely known for honesty, integrity and intelligence. He was a man to whom life meant activity, and his business career was well known to all our people, dating back from the time of the Breed & Munger pump factory and agricultural business. The manufacturing part of their business was removed to Cedar Rapids, Ia., where it is still in operation under the name of the Cedar Rapids Pump Co. Mr. Breed resided away from LaHarpe for some years after this change, but finally returned to call LaHarpe his home, although he represented the firm as traveling representative. He was interested in mining, both financially and for the love of research into nature's hidden secrets and buried treasure and was well read and experienced in the geological characteristics and mineralogy of the mountains. His claims and investments, however, never proved very remunerative. He was an ardent advocate of republicanism in most of its principals [sic], and was bitterly opposed to the influence of corporate capital where exorbitant or excessive charges were forced. HIs life's history, the sunshine and the clouds, intermixed, would be interesting reading could it be compiled. Following are a few facts, genealogical and otherwise, in regard to his history:
Born July 4, 1827, at Stonington, Conn.
Came to Canton, Ill., in 1833, where he grew to manhood from the age of six years.
Married to Mary C. Fowler [sic], of Canton, May 16, 1858.
Came to LaHarpe in 1869.
Three children from the union: Mrs. Grace Munger, of Cedar Rapids, Ia.; Mrs. Sarah Griffith, of Cincinnati, O.; Mrs. Harriet Kern, of Atlanta, Ga., all of whom survive him.
Wife died May 6, 1891.
Married on Oct. 2, 1894, to Mrs. Amanda E. Smith, who survives him.
The funeral took place at the home, Thursday afternoon at 1 o'clock, Elder Elsea officiating, largely attended by friends and neighbors.
Burial in LaHarpe cemetery.
