Hiram Brooks, 83, a veteran of the civil war, and long a restaurant man at Stockwell, died at the family home here Tuesday evening at 6 o'clock. His health had been poor for some time, and several days ago he contracted the illness which brought on his death. Mr. Brooks was born August 26, 1842, on a farm near Clark's Hill, and accordingly, was one of the oldest native sons of Tippecanoe county. During the civil war he saw service with the 63rd Indiana Volunteers, Company I. He had been in business for many years, and had come to be widely know and highly respected. Surviving are the widow, a son, Ellsworth, who is now conducting the restaurant formerly operated by his father; two grandsons and five great-grandchildren, and two half-brothers, Jesse Ryan, of Chicago, and Alfred Ryan of Frankfort. Funeral services will be held at the family home Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock, with Rev. Richard Pengelly, of the Stockwell M. E. church, in charge; burial in Johnson cemetery, north of Stockwell, Indiana. (Ref: Lafayette, Indiana, Journal and Courier)
