MORTUARY REPORT - - At his home in Sidney, Sunday, May 24, 1903, at 1:30 p.m., of old age and partial paralysis, Alson Denison aged 90 years 3 months and 21 days. He was a native of New York, having been born at Floyd, Oneida county, February 3, 1813. His education was limited to the public schools of that place, but being of a studious turn of mind he advanced himself by self-culture. On September 20, 1836, he was united in marriage to Jane C. Goodno, a lady of nearly his own age, the date of her birth being December 13, 1813. Eight children were born to these parents: three boys and five girls; five of whom are still living and were all present at the demise of their father. Their names and residence are as follows: U. A., of Washington, D. C.; Samuel S., Lexington, Oklahoma; Mrs. Louise Judkins, Grinnell, Iowa; Mrs. Jessie Kelley, Maywood, Illinois; Mrs. Emily Maurer, Sidney, Iowa.
The family moved from New York to Cambridge, IIlinois, in November 1853, and in 1878 they moved to Iowa, locating on a farm some eight miles from Villisca. After a ten years residence on this farm they moved to Villsca where they resided until coming to Sidney in 1898, where they have since resided with Mr. and Mrs. Maurer. The lapse of ninety years has wrought many of the greatest changes of civilization and to think of ones life reaching back over a period of American history when James Madison was president and the war of 1812 was at it height and the result of which was held in dubiety. Politically he was for many years a pronounced Republican but it is not known who he cast his first presidential vote for in the memorable campaign of 1836 when Martin Van Buren was elected over his three competitors, William H. Harrison, Hugh L. White and Daniel Webster.
He was from early manhood a member of the Presbyterian Church and lived a most devoted life attending services regularly. The funeral sermon was preached at the house at 2 o'clock Monday by Rev. Dickinson pastor of the Presbyterian church at this place. At the close of the sermon interment was made in the Sidney cemetery.
