He had been retired for several years.

      Mr. and Mrs Ausbrook lived in East Moline until 1921 at which time they moved to Moline, remaining there until their return to East Moline in 1941. Mrs. Ausbrook died in 1945.

      The couple celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in 1943 and both were charter members of Grace Methodist church, East Moline. Mr. Ausbrook was a trustee of the church for many years, having retired from that post last year. He was a member of the Modern Woodmen of America.
