HURTO, John N., Obituary

John N. Hurto Dead
Old Resident of Jefferson Township Succumbs to Uremia

After suffering for ten days with uremia, which followed an illness due to an enlarged prostate, with which he was stricken ten weeks ago, John N. Hurto, 309 West Main Street, an old resident of Jefferson Township, and for five years of this city, died at his home at 12:50 this morning. Mr. Hurto's death removed the last but one of his father's family. Descended from old French Huguenot stock, Mr. Hurto's ancestors took refuge in this country in an early day. Mr. Hurto was born in Burlington County, New Jersey, Jan. 17, 1846, a son of John and Charlotte Hurto. In 1860 the elder Hurto came west and settled at Davenport. In 1880 John N. Hurto engaged in farming north of Grinnell, and in the following spring came to this county, settling on a farm one mile west of Laurel. There the family lived until 1911, when Mr. Hurto moved to Pharr, Tex. He came north again in May, 1913, coming to this city, where he invested quite extensively in city property.

Mr. Hurto is survived by his widow and six children. Before her marriage at Colona, Ill., April 18, 1883, Mrs. Hurto was Miss Bessie Davis. The children are Leanna, who is in government service in Washington, D. C.; Ivan F., of Cedar Rapids; Lenore, Earl N., and Rhea F., who are at home; and Kyle E., who is serving with the 133d infantry in France. Earl Hurto was in the army until a week ago when he was discharged at Jefferson Barracks, Mo. Miss Hurto expects to reach the city this evening. Mr. Hurto's only surviving brother is Samuel W. Hurto, of Davenport. A brother Frank died in Chicago, five years ago; a sister, Mrs. W. H. Robinson, died twelve years ago in Davenport; and a brother, James B. Hurto, died in October, 1892 near Rhodes. A step-brother of Mr. Hurto, John Remine, is a member of the soldiers' home. Funeral services will be held from the Hurto home Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Interment will take place in Riverside. [Evening times-Republican, (Marshalltown, Iowa), December 27, 1918]
