IRONTON REGISTER 20 Aug 1896

J. G. deBANG , formerly of the Yellow Poplar Lumber Co. office, and later manager of the Ironton Door factory died suddenly in Boston last Friday. Mr. deBang came to Ironton about 1888, and removed to Boston some two years ago. He was an educated and refined gentleman, and while in Ironton both Mr. and Mrs. DdeBang won many friends by their intelligent and gentle manners. In the last few years Fortune has not been kind to them. Mr. deBang was a book keeper in Boston at the time of his death. The news of his demise came in telegrams to Miss Lillie WOOD and the Ironton Lodge of Elks, of which he was a member. Heart failure is the cause ascribed. He was buried with B.P.O.E. honors by lodge #10 of Boston, by direction of Ironton Lodge. Mr. deBang was born in Denmark, and was 42 years old
