The Belleville Telescope, August 11, 1893
In Memory
Of the late J. G. Arbuthnot, who died
at his home August 5th, at half past
nine in the morning. Mr. Arbuthnot ;
was born in Allegheny county, Penn.,
on January 15 in the year 1816. In
1869 he emigrated to Iowa and two
years latter to Farmington township,
this county, where he made his home
until he moved to this city about eight
months ago. He was 77 years old at
his death. To mourn the death of a
good husband and kind father are his
aged wife and seven children, who are
Mrs. W.H. Conklin, Mrs. J.A . Swenson, Miss Julia, Mr. Thomas,
Dr. C.M., Dr. W.S. and Mr. Grant Arbuthnot. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Abram Steed, of the
Presbyterian Church, at the deceased’s residence in this city . After the services his remains were laid away
in their last resting place in Farmington Cemetery. Until the last year Mr. Arbuthnot had enjoyed excellent
health, and bid fair to be a very old
man when, about a year ago he was
struck down with paralysis from
which he never recovered, although
seemingly he improved at times, yet
he was so old that he could not throw
off the awful enemy, and about two
weeks ago it became apparent that
the end was near. Mr. Arbuthnot
carne to Republic county in 1871 with
his family and homesteaded in Farmington township, where, by his industrious and frugal habits he grew
to be one of the most honored and
wealthy citizens of that section of the
country, He has in all his transactions of life
been an honest and upright man and not only held in
view his own personal good but
the good of the county and the
community, who mourn the loss of
one of its best citizens. In business
he has always been very prosperous.
As a home man be was always good
and kind to his children and helped
them in every way possible, and long
before the end was near he could see
with great pleasure the fruits of this
labor in this way. Mr. Arbuthnot
was a member of the Presbyterian
Church and a firm believer in The Redeemer.

We are again called upon to record the death of one of our oldest and most respected citizens, J. G. Arbuthnot, who died at his home in this city August 5, 1893, of paralysis, aged 77 years and 7 months. Mr. Arbuthnot came to Republic county in 1861 and located on a farm near Cuba where he lived until about a year ago when he moved to Belleville. Just before moving here, but after all arrangements had been made to come, he was stricken with paralysis from which he never recovered, but lingered in great misery until death relieved him. He had been very prominent in the affairs of the county, taking great interest in the advancement of public enterprises, and always ready to lend a helping hand. He was a man of strong convictions and was not afraid to express his opinions and take the responsibility of acting upon what he thought to be right, but had that consideration for the opinions of those who might differ with him, that he had their respect and esteem, and those who know him in life have nothing but the kindest regards for his memory and extend to the bereaved their heartfelt sympathy. He leaves a wife and seven children to mourn his loss. The funeral took place last Sunday from his residence in this city, the funeral sermon being preached by Rev. Abram Steed assisted by Rev. D.A. Allen. The remains were taken to Cuba and buried in the cemetery at that place where other members of his family lies.
