Utility Flashes - published monthly in the interest of employees of the Sioux City Gas & Electric and Iowa Public Service Companies, April 1948:

John Aspen, 66, who died March 20, (1948) was employed by the Sioux City Gas & Electric Company 37 years. He was born in Oslo, Norway, August 6, 1881. A resident of Sioux City 55 years, he came here from Norway when he was 11.

John's work for the company began in 1906. He had the unique distinction of being among the first to break ground for the construction of the giant gas holder now situated at the foot of the new viaduct between Iowa and Court streets. Some years afterward, John suffered severe injuries in a fall while helping to build the smoke stack at Kellogg station. He was for many years incapacitated from it. Since then he had worked at less arduous tasks, including that of custodian at the main office building. He was pensioned in February 1943.

All who knew John were his good friends. In the words of one, "There probably never was a more conscientious and faithful employee." He had fond recollections of his employment here and until his death had remained cheerful in spite of his sickness.

He is survived by the widow, Ellen; two sons, Richard and Donald of Sioux City; and two daughters, Mrs. Ethyl Jensen and Mrs. Lois Hoffman both of Porterville, Cal.
