   DIED at his home in Moberly, Missouri, March 24, 1891, William H. 
H. Day, aged 78 years and 26 days.
   Mr. Day was born in Huron county, Ohio, February 26, 1821, and 
came to Fremont, in this county, in 1846, where for several years he 
conducted the business of wagon making.  While a resident of Fremont 
he was known as an active, public spirited citizen, and was 
particularly interested in school affairs.  He was mainly 
instrumental in establishing the first graded school in that town, 
and the erection of a building for the accommodation of the same.  
He took a prominent part in the organization and conduct of the 
Masonic lodge of Fremont, and during his residence in this county 
was a devoted member of the order.  In 1859 he bought the STEUBEN 
REPUBLICAN which he conducted for nearly two years.  In September, 
1861, he enlisted in Co. G, 30th Indiana volunteers, and in April, 
1863, was promoted to a lieutenancy, which he resigned in the spring 
of 1864.  His wife, most favorably remembered by many of our older 
citizens, died in July, 1876, and in 1878, Mr. Day went to Moberly, 
Missouri, where he married again and has since lived.  He leaves 
five children, A. F. Day, of Angola; Mrs. Augusta A. Capps, of 
Kansas City, Mo.; Mrs. Anna Shaffstall, of Salem; A. H. Day, of 
Humbolt county, Cal.; and Mrs. Clara Somers, of Carbondale, Col.
