He rallied yesterday, but it was only the flickerof the flame of life before it went out forever. He leaves a widow andeight children, four sons and four daughters, besides numerousrelatives and friends, to mourn his death.

Mr. Redmond was a generous, impulsive man, whose good traits were manyand prominent, and Alton has lost a good citizen and his family anaffectionate father.

From: Alton Daily Telegraph, Thursday Eve., February 1, 1894; Page 2,Column 4:

Mr. John Redmond died at his home in North Alton at 9 o’clockyesterday evening. Mr. Redmond had been a sufferer for some time withgangrene of the foot. Several weeks ago two of his toes were amputatedin order to check the disease. Last week his foot and part of his legwas amputated in the hops that it would save his life, but to noavail. The disease had made such inroads into his system that theoperation failed to have the desired effect. Slowly but surely thegrim hand of death were tightening their grasp, and at 3 o’clock thewatchers knew that the end was near. The suffering man lingered until9 o’clock in the evening when he expired, surrounded by his family.

Mr. Redmond leaves a wife and eight children to mourn his death. Deepand sincere is the sympathy of the community with the family in theloss of a good husband and father.
