He took cold in the wound, and started for home with Mr. McCaffrey, but he grew rapidly worse, and they were compelled to stop at Stevens Point, where he died as stated above. The corpse passed through here today. The deceased leaves a wife and four small children. 13 Jan. Drew - In the town of Douglas, Marquette Co., Wis., Feb 9th, 1872, of convulsive fits, George Joseph Drew, son of Mathias Drew aged 17 years and 10 months. 17 Feb. Quite a number of old people, and some old settlers in this county, have died this winter. One old lady in Mecan, who lacked only a few months of being one hundred years old, died about two weeks ago. Two men - old settlers of Neshkoro - died last week, and both buried the same day. Old Mr. Clay, who has been afflicted with a cancer for many years, and Mr. Ward, who has for a long time been a merchant in Neshkoro. Henry German, father of A. H. German, died last week at the age of 82 years. David B. Linsley, of Packwaukee, died on Monday of this week, and was buried on Wed. Mr. Linsley was from fifty five to fifty six year of age, and has been a resident of Packwaukee nearly twenty years, and has made considerable property in that length of time by attending to his own business. Mr. Linsley was a respectable and respected citizen. He was a member of the Oxford Lodge of Masons, and was buried with Masonic honors. By request, the funeral was conducted and Masonic service pronounced by S. A. Pease, Deputy Grand Master of the State. The Oxford Lodge generally, and some from the Montello Lodge, were in attendance, besides a large assemblage of people, to pay their last respects to a worthy good man. Mr. Linsley leaves a wife only, they having no children of their own. Thus, one by one, the old people and old settlers of this county are dropping away by death reminding others of a younger generation that time will soon measure the distance between those who have gone and those who remain. 24 Feb. Hartwig - In this village, March 8th, 1872, G. Theodore, only son of William and Julia Hartwig, aged 1 year, 1 month and 7 days. 16 Mar. Deaths - John Gory, aged fifteen years, son of William Gory, of Montello, died very suddenly after six or seven hours sickness, and was buried Monday of this week. On the same day a girl three years old of the same family was taken sick and died Thurs morning. We have no knowledge of the sickness or disease of which these children died. 23 Mar. Suicide: A very singular and strange suicide occurred in Harrisville, on Wed. of this week. The circumstances are as follows: On Monday, two days before, a man by the name of Warren Murdock, of Markesan, Green Lake County, went through Montello to Harrisville, engaged in the business of selling corn planters. Wed morning he was seen about the hotel, and was last seen by a Mr. Emerson, (who stopped at Harrisville overnight), in the forenoon about the hotel barn. In the afternoon Murdock was found hanging from the rafters of the barn in the hay loft, by some leather lines taken from his own harness. He leaves a wife and three or four children at Markesan. No cause has yet been assigned for this strange conduct on the part of the suicide. 23 Mar. Died in Packwaukee, on Monday of this week, Abraham Vanzile, about 45 years of age. This man moved from NY last summer on to a farm in Packwaukee. He went to Chicago a few weeks ago to earn some money at his trade. He was taken sick with this new brain and spinal disease, came home and died in two or three days. He leaves a wife and five or six children, all strangers in a strange country. The people in that neighborhood should remember these strangers and their unfortunate situation. 4 May Drake - In the village of Oxford, May 20th, Mrs. Wealthy Drake, aged 86 years, 10 months and 16 days. This old lady was the mother of C C Drake, Esq., who now lives in Oxford, and who has been blessed and favored with a mother's company and associations far beyond the average of men or women who revere a mother's name, and mourn when she leaves them, even at that advanced age. The old lady has finished her work, and done it well. He memory and her good example - like gold that always shines and never rusts out - is all there is left of her in this world. 14 May Drowned: Last Sunday, in the town of Springfield, two young men were in a small lake swimming. George Thurber, aged about 21 years, and James Leech, some younger. The youngest boy got beyond his depth, and unable to swim the elder one went to his help, and notwithstanding, he could swim, the drowning boy caught the older one and they both went to the bottom and were drowned. 3Aug. Dibell - In the village of Montello, on the 13th inst,. Adelbert Dibell, aged about 33 years. Mr. Dibell, was raised in this town. He was well known and highly respected. He had been running the Mississippi with lumber and came home with a fever, which yielded readily to treatment; but an unexpected relapse took him away, and he will be missed by his many friends. He leaves a wife, father, sister and brother, but no children. 21 Sept. Rood: In this village, on the 7th inst,. Edith Rood, aged 86 years. She leaves four children, two in this county, S. R. Rood, County Judge and Widow Huthchinson, and two sons in the southern portion of the state. The old lady has been for the past several years, in her second childhood, apparently caring but little about staying or going so that death was no dread. She had lived her day, and the call to go home was greeted with more joy than grief. 12 Oct. Older: At Fremont, Iowa, Oct 19th, 1872, Jesse Older, aged 75 years and 7 ½ months. Mr. Older was well known in this county as he came to Packwaukee in the spring of 1850, and lived there until six years ago, when he, with his wife, moved to Iowa, to live with a son. Uncle Jesse, as he was called and familiarly known, was one of the most kindhearted and genial men that ever lived, having no enemies, but as many friends as he had acquaintances. He has lived to see his family, six children, all settled in life, and for the past ten or twelve years he has had but few cares, except his own sickness which has been long and sometimes severe; but now he is relived from the last earthly trouble. 16 Nov.
