| Notes |
- John Lasbury was born in Kensington, London, England, Nov. 11, 1830, and was educated in the same place.
He learned the butcher's trade when quite young, and came to America in 1852 in a sail-ship: was 10 weeks coming from Liverpool to New Orleans, and 3 weeks from New Orleans to St. Louis.
From St. Louis he walked to Griggsville in a deep snow, a distance of about 110 miles; this he accomplished in 3 days' time.
He worked for the late Robert Allen, of Griggsville, for about 2 years; was the first butcher in Griggsville: supplied Griggsville and Pittsfield both with meat from one beef, and sometimes would have some left, which he would take to Perry.
He was married March 20, 1858, to Sarah Simpkin, daughter of Thos. Simpkin, deceased. Mr. and Mrs. Lasbury have 5 children, - Mary, Ann, Elizabeth, John and Vincent. Mr. L. resides on sec. 28, Griggsville tp., and is engaged in farming and stock-raising. He has some fine cattle, and he brought the first long-wooled sheep to this part of the country. These sheep were brought from Canada.
- JOHN LASBURY Snr. - The deceased John Lasbury, who passed to rest Sunday, Nov. 17, 1907, was born in Kensington, England, Nov. 11, 1830. He was a son of Benjamin and Mary Lasbury, being the second child born to the union.
He came to America in 1851, living for a time with his uncle in Flint township, Pike county, Illinois. He Afterwards moved to Griggsville, where he has resided continuously to the time of his death.
He was united in marriage Sarah Simpkin in Griggsville, Ill., on March 20, 1858. Had he lived until March 20 next, he would have celebrated his golden wedding anniversary.
There were born to this union five children three daughters and two sons: Mary (Mrs. John Stead), Anne (Mrs. Charles Hatch), Elizabeth (Mrs. Louis Parker) John, all of Griggsville; and Vincent, of Chicago, all of whom survive the deceased. Two brothers, Thomas, resid-ing in Griggsville, Benjamin G., residing in London, England; and two sisters Mrs. Hearn, of Bristol, England, and Mrs. Norman, of Hammersmith, England, survive him.
He passed nearly all of a long life in and near Griggsvllle, pursuing the occupation of farming.
He leaves a large circle of friends and acquaintances, who will long cherish the many sterling qualities of character which so endeared him to all who had the pleasure of his intimate acquaintance and friendship.
May he rest in peace and light perpetual shine upon him.
The funeral service was held at St. James church Tuesday afternoon, Nov 19, at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. James Maxon, of Galesburg.
The interment was in beautiful Walnut Grove cemetery south of the city.
The pall bearers were Dr. T. S. and Rufus Hitch Thos. Simpkin, Jr., T. M. Yates, Page Hatch and Robert Hopkins, all nephews of the deceased except one.
