Jonathan Breon
Jonathan Breon, whose illness was chronicled last week, died at his home in this
city last Sunday afternoon. He suffered a stroke of paralysis a few days previously from
which he never rallied. The funeral has not yet been held, owing to the impassable condition
of the roads. The deceased has been a resident of this valley for many years. He was a civil
war veteran, having served in a Wisconsin regiment. We regret that owing to the inability to
get around we have not procured detailed facts regarding the life of the deceased, but can
say that he was a good man and a devoted member of the Methodist church. He leaves a
widow, but so far as we know has no other relatives unless it be a son or daughter living in
Washington State.
