Warren's little girl Lurie, some ten or twelve years old, is dying from the effects of scarlet fever. 11 March Mr. Katsour of the town of Newton, also lost a boy one year old, supposed to be from a combination of scarlet fever and diphtheria. 11 March Another Death in the Family of Old Settlers George Skinner, of Moundville, was taken sick on Tuesday, March 21st, with pneumonia; died on Friday the 24th, at the age of 56 years, and was buried on Monday, the 27th.

Etc. . . . .1 April Rev Mr Brady the Catholic Priest of Portage, died on Tuesday afternoon, after a very few days illness. 1 April The following notice of the Rev. Jas. T Ford's mother, was taken from the Elk Point (D.T.) Courier. The funeral services of Mrs. Ford were held at the Baptist Church in this city, on the 23d inst.; the clergymen of the different denominations in town taking part on that occasion. The following sketch of her life and character was prepared and read by Rev. G W Freeman. Mrs. Ann Jennet Ford, wife of Rev. Geo. Ford, and daughter of Deacon Jas. Tooker, was born June 23, 1824, in Patchogue, Long Island, NY; which made her at the time of her death, March 21, 1882, 57 years, 8 months and 28 days.

Etc. . . 8 April A Sad Death: The wife of J H Anderson, of Chicago, died on Thurs, the 30th day of March, of a fever following a child birth. Mr. Anderson is one of the Montello Granite Co., and his wife spent several days in Montello last summer, and while here made the acquaintance of several ladies in Montello, who will feel sad indeed to hear of her death, for she gave the impression of an amiable and estimable person. 8 April Members of Garfield Lodge, No 397, I O G T., do extend their sympathy to the bereaved family of the deceased Geo. Skinner. 8 April A Serious and Fatal Accident: Last Sat, April 8th, the most singular and most serious accident, with fatal results, occurred at the place of Thomas O'Connor, in the southern portion of Montello, that has ever happened probably in Marquette County. Mr. O'Connor was away from home leaving a hired man on the farm, who was that day engaged in plowing in the field nearly one hundred rods from the house. About noon the two oldest boys of the family, aged five and seven years respectively, were sent out to call the hired man to dinner. The hired man had just completed his plowing at that place as the boys reached him; he had the team hitched to the wagon and loaded two plows on the wagon, with only two buck boards and no box. The boys having been at that age somewhat accustomed to handle the team, both got upon the wagon and started the horses just as the last plow was loaded, leaving the hired man behind. The horses started at once into a dead run, throwing the boys from their balance in among the plows, holding on to one line which turned the horses in a circle, and in a moment the boys, the plows, and the wagon got tangled up in a way that nobody can explain. The boys were thrown from the wagon, one in one place, the other several rods away from the first one, the plows getting caught in the wagon, breaking spokes and tearing the wheels to pieces and breaking up the wood and iron of the plows generally, until the team reached a stump or log where the wagon and team parted. Mrs. O'Connor hearing the hallooing of the hired man, went to the field and R O'Connor, living near by followed, where the children were found. The oldest boy had got up and was walking the other way and the youngest boy was found in the dirt, still and insensible. Right here was brought out a test of the mothers fortitude and courage, but she was equal to the emergency. By herself and Richard, the children were carried to the house and medical aid summoned from Montello in the short space of time that it took Richard to run his team to the village and back. The oldest boy, Marsellus, had received a heavy blow over the pit of the stomach, producing concussion from which he never rallied, but died in about three hours. The youngest boy, Willie, received a scalp wound on the left side of the head about three inches long and a fracture of the bone under the wound about two inches long, besides several bruises and contusions about the head, neck and face, from which it seemed at the time it would be impossible for the boy to recover, but since then he has rallied some, and his condition offers some hope of his recovery. Etc. . . 15 April Afflictions Increased: Robert Strain, a son of Adam Strain, who was laid away to rest less than two months ago, who has been sick since the death of his father, died Thursday, the 20th inst. and was buried at Oxford on Sat the 22d. Robert was about 24 years old, a single man, with a comfortable property of his own. Robert was the Master of the Oxford Lodge of Masons when he died, and a good deal more than an average young man in ability, in disposition, in intelligence, with all the chances and prospects before him, worked up and created by himself, that any young man could possibly care or ask for. But Robert has left it all and gone away. There are now left of the family, the mother, three sisters and another son fourteen or fifteen years of age. Etc. . . 29 April The death of Robert Strain, Master of Oxford Lodge, F O A M, called the members of the Lodge out to attend his funeral, held at the Presbyterian Church in Oxford, on the 22d. Rev Thomas Dougan, of Kilbourn preached one of his excellent sermons and H M Older conducted the beautiful Masonic service, used on the death of a Mason. 29 April Mr. Jacob Jacobsen who has been a great sufferer for months, departed this life April 19th. Funeral from the M E Church, Saturday. 29 April A 7 year old son of E S Baker, of Portage, fell in the canal Friday morning of last week and was drowned. He was on his way to school, a distance of a mile from home, his path being along the canal where it was hard walking it is supposed he attempted to walk the narrow docking. He was not missed till evening, having taken his dinner. The canal was emptied Friday, but it was not till 4 o'clock Sat morning that the body was found. 6 May An old gentleman by the name of Posten, living in Springfield, was, on the 18th inst., out a few rods from the house, and was seen to throw up his hands and fall to the ground. His wife went to him immediately, and he was dead. No further particulars given. 6 May Another Pioneer Gone: Unlike the other death notices in the Express this week, the departure of Mrs. Alice Ellison, of Moundville, the mother of Martin G and Christopher Ellison, which occurred on the 25th, is shone of it sadness by the facts that she was 76 years old and had been suffering for many months, not from any curable disease, except the disability of old age, for which death alone furnishes the remedy. While it is sad in other cases it is well that this old mother has died and gone to the rest she is so worthily entitled to. Mrs Ellison came to this county 33 years ago, and lived in Moundville when she died passing six weeks at one time without seeing the face of a white woman except her own. She has left four children, all married and settled and doing well, so that while life was desirable on the part of her family, death was preferable with her, and she has had her choice and others ought to be satisfied. This old lady has done her full duty, and ought to be allowed to depart without grief. Death in this instance ought to be regarded by the living as it must be regarded by her, an open and timely blessing. 27 May Card of Thanks: The aged mother of the undersigned has been a long time sick, in the town of Moundville, where she died, and during her sickness the neighbors and friends were so profuse and so willing and so lavish of their kind deeds and unceasing attention to the afflicted one, it has seemed that lasting obligations have been laid upon the living ones of that family whose mother is now dead. The obligation is acknowledged, and it is a debt that money will not pay. And while we do not expect to fully liquidate the obligation while we live, we wish those generous friends to remember and never forget that we shall never lose sight of or pass an opportunity to make all the appropriate payments in our power. In behalf of the family, M G Ellison. 3 June Death's Doings: During the period of last week, two good men died: H H Taylor, of Oxford in this county, and P Walsh, of Kingston, Green Lake Co. Both of them were lawyers and both had been long in the profession. In spite of all fortitude, faith or philosophy, it is a gloomy picture to look at. Death is a sad event at any time. But to write the obituary of a good and useful man, a special and particular friend, is the most unpleasant task that falls to the lot of a public newspaper. H H Taylor died on the morning of May 20th, of typhoid pneumonia, at the age of 56 years. This sickness followed a severe cold taken eleven days before his death. Mr. Taylor had lived in this county some twenty-eight years, and probably no man in the county was better acquainted, and no man ever lived in the county who was more deserving of a good name, and no man had earned for himself a better reputation. While Mr Taylor has had some opponents, he had but few enemies. And the sole reason for his opponents and for his few enemies, was because he was a good and strictly honest. Such men are never liked by bad men. Some good men however, to our certain knowledge, have sometimes mistaken his real motives and merits. It is a sad thing and a great loss to have such a man die. Etc. . . Patrick Walsh, another particular friend, died on the 20th, at Kingston. He was 61 years old, and a thirty-two years settler in that town, having once been a successful merchant but for the last ten years, a lawyer and insurance agent. Although his sickness has been protracted and his death not unexpected, yet to know that he cannot be seen and known again this side of the gate which swings, but the one way to let men pass out and never return, stirs up the well of affliction and it takes a long time to settle the troubled waters. Etc... Mr Taylor leaves a wife and two sons, all in comfortable circumstances. Both of the sons are married and doing well for themselves, etc. . . Mr Taylor was buried with Odd Fellows rites, he being an honored member of Packwaukee Lodge, and also a member of Enterprise Encampment, of Montello. Etc. . . 27 May In Memoriam: At a regular communication of Packwaukee Lodge No 95, IOOF, held at their hall May 25, the following tribute to the memory of Bro. H H Taylor was unanimously adopted by a rising vote, and it was ordered that a copy be furnished to the family of the deceased, and that the charter and officers stands be draped in mourning for thirty days. Etc. . . 3 June "Tommy died this morning." These four little words came on the telegraph last Saturday, addressed to Florence Donovan, and conveyed to him and his family the sad news of the death of their son Thomas, who had died in Minnesota. None but those who have received such a message can tell how it pierces the heart and causes such deep anguish. Thomas left home about two years ago, to care for himself. He was about nineteen years of age. The family have many friends who will sympathise with them in their bitter grief. 27 May Mrs. Hill, mother of Mrs. James Wall, was buried on Thursday, in the town of Buffalo. 3 June Three children in the family of Mr. A Henion, of Portage, died last week from diphtheria. 3 June Thos. Eubank is Dead: On Saturday morning at 2:10, July 15, at his residence in Hancock, Thos. Eubank died of heart disease. About a year ago Mr Eubank began to be troubled with disease of the heart and had several sick spells previous to the fatal attack. Last March he had a severe illness, from which he never recovered, although was part of the time able to attend to the duties about his hotel. He had all the care and attention possible, a loving wife and daughter, and many friends doing all in their power to relieve him of pain and distress and to comfort him in his last hours. Etc. . . Thomas Eubank was born in Kirbython, Westmoreland Co., England, Aug 27, 1826, and came to this country when only six years old, his family settling in Vermont. He came west in 1848 and settled in Brookfield, Waukesha county, this State. When the excitement over the gold discoveries in California 1849 was so great, Mr. Eubank went there and remained three years and then returned to this State. In 1856 he was married to Mary M Ball, whom he leaves a widow, and by whom he had three children, the two younger ones, a daughter and son, are left to mourn his death, and yet be a comfort to the stricken wife. He came to Marquette county and bought a farm in the town of Newton in 1859, where he lived till, etc. . . .22 July Card of Thanks - To the kind friends and neighbors of Hancock, and friends from Wautoma, Plainfield and Montello, I return my sincere thanks for their many kind acts and words during the sickness and burial of my husband. I shall remember all with the greatest kindness, and pray the Father of the widow and orphan will bless each and every one. Mrs. M M Eubank 22 July Plainfield Times: Mrs. Thomas Eubank, of Hancock, receives $1,000 from the Masonic Benefit Association; the late Mr Eubank having had his life insured for that amount in that company. 5 Aug. A very sad accident by shooting occurred about 11 o'clock Tuesday morning, resulting in the death of Ernest Rockwood, son of Dr. R C Rockwood, night operator in the St. Paul depot, in Portage. He, in company with another young man were out hunting in the Baraboo woods five miles from town, and in getting in the wagon to return home, caught his gun, causing it to explode, the charge striking him under the left arm, passing through the shoulder and severing the large artery. He was carried home immediately by his comrade, and the arm amputated, but he died from loss of blood. He was 21 years old. 22 July Mr B. Jacobson, in the town of Harris, died on Monday. The funeral was held on Wednesday. 22 July Another Death: Mrs. Catherine May Wall, wife of James Wall, and the mother of J J Wall, Thomas and James Wall, Jr., died in the town of Buffalo, on the 22d of July, at the age of 76 years and 28 days. Mrs. Wall was born in Ireland, Town of Castle Yard, County of Donegal, June 24th, 1806, of parents by the name of McGuire. She came to this country with her parents and landed at Quebec in 1831. She was married to James Wall in 1834. They moved from Canada to New York City and came to Wisconsin in May, 1845, living in Racine county until they came to this county in 1850, and located where they have since lived, and where she died. The three sons named above and her husband now old and quite a good way down the declining side from life's summit, are the family left behind. Etc. . . . The two most essential requisites of a person's life, and that is, for her family and her church (she was a Catholic). Etc. . . The funeral on the 24th was very large, as an evidence of the high esteem in which she was held during a thirty years residence in one neighborhood. 22 July Miss Sarah Farrington, a maiden lady 65 years of age, aunt of Mrs. J P Luther, died on Saturday last at 3pm of dropsy. The deceased was a resident of Montello, and three months ago came here on a visit, intending to remain a week or so, but she was taken sick here and never sufficiently recovered to be able to leave. She was buried on Sunday. Berlin Journal. 5 Aug. Mrs. Wilhelmina Seukfiel died Sunday evening, Aug 6. She was 79 years of age, and had for the last few years, made it her home with her daughter, Mrs. Otto Arndzee, of Springfield. The funeral was held in the German Church at this place Tuesday afternoon. 12 Aug. Died: In the town of Harris, Marquette Co., Wis., July 24th, Jacob Baltzerson, in the 75th year of his age. He was born in Denmark in 1809, and came to America in 1872, and settled in the town of Harris where he has since resided. Even in his old age he was in good health, and always was, until an accident occurred a short time ago, his team running away throwing the old gentleman out and injuring him more or less, from which he never recovered. He leaves a large family to mourn his loss, which they all feel very deeply, for he was a kind and loving parent. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Hill, in the presence of a large audience of sympathizing friends. He was an excellent neighbor and has earned the faithful Christian's reward, rest and heaven. (The above notice of Mr. Baltzerson's death was handed to us some time ago, but was overlooked, and in justice to the writer and the family of the old gentleman, we publish it at this late date.) 26 Aug. Jackson - At her residence in the village of Montello, on Friday morning, Sept 1, 1882, Mrs. Andrew Jackson, aged 36 years. 9 Sept. Died, Thursday, Sept 21st, 1882, Miss Emma Lawton, at the residence of her parents in this village, aged 28 years. Miss Emma, when in health, was the joy and life of her home, and the mourning friends may feel assured that they have the warm sympathy of the entire community. The funeral was held at the house, Rev. W P Hill officiating. 30 Sept. Passed Away: Eddie King, who has been in Montello for nearly a year past, employed by his father, C B King,and J H Anderson, of the Montello Granite Co., was taken to Chicago a week ago, while very sick, and lived only three days after his arrival home. Eddie was a young man of intelligence and promise, about 24 years of age. About six weeks ago he was attacked with hemorrhage from the lungs, which proved to be only the active development of consumption and one of the incidents of that obscure but fatal disease. The loss of blood however subsided, which was rapidly followed with the unmistakable symptoms of an early approach of dissolution. This is the second sad and afflicting loss to his parents and the family, having lost by death their youngest daughter, less than a year ago. Eddie had friends in Montello, and they too, feel sad over his death. 7 Oct. Died: Sunday night after an illness of about two weeks, little May, infant daughter of Mr and Mrs Isaac Stevens, Funeral Tuesday. 21 Oct. Mrs. L E Marshall died at her home near Westfield on Thursday morning, the funeral to take place today, Friday. 21 Oct. Died, Thursday at 10 o'clock am, Mrs. L Marshall, at her house, half a mile south of this village, of cancer. She leaves a husband and one child to mourn her loss. The funeral was held from the Methodist Church on Sat, at 10 o'clock 28 Oct. Died: Bissell: At her residence in the village of Westfield, on the 25th day of Oct, 1882, Francis F., wife of W. W. Bissell, aged 28 years. Francis F Stewart was born in Pierpoint, St. Lawrence county, NY., and came to Wisconsin with her parents L and A Stewart, when she was but ten years of age, her parents settling in the town of Harris. From her early childhood up to the time of her death, she was always of a cheerful disposition, making glad the heats of others in many little ways, and seemed to enjoy life to its fullest extent. In 1873 she met Walter W Bissell, and on the 19th of Oct in the same year they were united in matrimony, at Harrisville. Three children were born to them, two boys and a girl, who are left to grow up without a mother's care and guidance. Mrs. Bissell had many friends, both young and old, who, with her husband, her little children, and her parents, grieve that one so young should be cut down by the relentless hand of death. No words can tell the sorrow of that household, and in this hour, such sympathy as it is in the power of human nature to bestow, poor though the tribute may be, it is freely offered. 4 Nov. The funeral of old Mr Frost, who has made his home in and about Briggsville for a number of years, was held at the M E church at this place last Monday. 11 Nov. Aunt Mollie Gone - Mrs. Mary Morrill died Sat, Oct 28th, at the residence of her daughter M C Morrill, aged 99 years and three months. The funeral was held on Tuesday, Rev. J B Gidney officiating, assisted by Rev A L Reid, and attended by a large number of relatives and friends. An unusual long life had been vouchsafed to her, and when the end came it was but a sweet and gentle sleep. Tears fell on the casket, genuine tears, for a son and a daughter wept, and all that was mortal of a mother rested within. It mattered not that a century had passed since the closed eyes first saw the light, nor that for years she had been helpless as an infant, for it was the last look at Mother. Sacred name never forgotten; no other name so thrills the heart and fills the soul with holiest emotions. Sauk County News Mrs. Morrill was the mother of the late Alex Morrill, and grandmother to Mrs L A Perkins and Mattie Morrill of this village. 11 Nov. Another Farewell: One of the warmest and best friends we had in Marquette County, has bid us all a final farewell. Old settlers and younger ones have dropped out of life's army from time to time, leaving pangs behind. But when a friend like James Graham, almost a part of ones self is called to break the ties which have ornamented a circle because of genuine merit, it seems to break the world into halves and take away a very large portion of the essence of that life which is left on the brink, waiting for one more step to be ordered for the grand march to an unseen and invisible world, where the good, the generous and the kindhearted are certain to renew their temporary broken union. Everybody acquainted with James Graham knows him to have been a good man, a good neighbor, and a good citizen. Everybody who ever visited his house knows him to have been a generous and kind husband and father, and those who knew him best were his best and warmest friends. Mr. Graham has been afflicted with disease a long time, and notwithstanding the efforts of skilled physicians, his going away, as in other instances, I proof positive the life of one man is not in the hands or at the disposal of any other man. Etc. . . James Graham was born in Dumfrushire, Scotland, Jan 1, 1828, and died Nov 12, 1882, making him 54 years, 10 months and 12 days old. In July 1832, he came with his parents to Canada. In June 1838, they moved to Illinois, and in 1840, he moved to Racine county, Wis., where , Jan 28, 1848, he married Jane Brimmer, his present widow. In Feb. following he came to Buffalo, in this county, and settled on the farm where he has since lived and where he died. In the summer of 1881, he was sick a long time from what was called erysipelas, from which he never fully recovered. The past summer he was about on his farm doing what he was able ,and took a cold which resulted in pleura pneumonia, causing extensive infiltration in the plural cavity, so that several times artificial openings were made to draw off the accumulated fluid. But the injury had gone too far, and thus he yielded up his life, his spirit taking its flight to the realms on high. Mr Graham has left a family of wife, two sons and three daughters, the children all married. Like others, this family too is called to mourn as no others can who have not had the same experience. And his many friends also mourn with them. 18 Nov. Quite a number of Montello people attended the funeral of Jas. Graham, in Buffalo, on Tuesday. 18 Nov. Thos. Graham of Racine came up to attend the funeral of his brother James, of Buffalo, the first of the week. 18 Nov. Died: C G Barker, of Packwaukee, died on the night of the 21st after about a year's sickness. Mr Barker has lived in that town over thirty years and was in early times one of the most tidy farmers in the country. Notwithstanding the angular features of the man, he had about him some of those good traits which come from a good heart. But he is gone now, and has left behind him too much good to be soon forgotten, and the other part of his eventful life should go down to the grave and be buried out of sight. Mr. Barker leaves a widow and two children, the eldest a daughter, and the wife of William Cramer of Milwaukee and the other a son, married and living in the west. The children always thought well of their father, and the loss to them is like similar events to other children. The widow will now be left alone, but she has a comfortable home and dutiful children to see that she is well cared for. 25 Nov. Old Folks Reunion The annual reunion of the old folks of Marquette County, will be held at the hall of Wilber & Landt at Packwaukee on Wed evening, Feb 1, 1882.

Farr, in the town of Packwaukee, caught fire on Friday last, it is supposed from the stove-pipe, and was burned to the ground, a small portion of the household goods being saved. There was no insurance. The neighbors and friends, and public generally, in adjoining towns, have contributed liberally to the relief of the family. 1 April Destructive Fire in Montello: A few minutes after six o'clock on Monday afternoon, Sept 4th, a smoke was seen issuing from the southwest corner of the grist mill owned by W B Dodge, in this village. Almost at the same instant of time the cry of fire was sent up and down the streets, by the men in the quarry and others, and in another half minute the bell from the Catholic church was sending out the alarm, far beyond the reach of human voices. The Catholic Priest caught up the situation in an instant and rang the bell himself. A very few people, and among them Mr Dodge himself, got into the mill with water before the fire had made much headway, but they was just half a minute too late as it took no time for the fire, already in a flame, to encompass the whole room where it started and went like tinder. Etc. . . 9 Sept. Accident: Last Saturday evening, the two youngest boys of C F Roskie, thought they would chop wood and both hacked away at one stick, when by accident, one of the boys struck the other over the left eye with the corner of the ax, cutting a gash about an inch long. Had the boy been a little nearer, in all probability the blow with the ax would have killed the little fellow. 1 April Another Serious Accident: When accidents are looked for, as they have been at Montello for the past year, they seldom come in a way they are feared and expected. Frank Dodge had charge of the machinery that operated the derrick in the quarry near the grist mill. The derrick tackling had just been hitched to a large block of stone, which was raised from its bed and carried to the place where it was to be deposited, and in the process of lowering the stone, the brake being insufficient, he failed to control the machinery and the heavy stone got the advantage, and down it went, with such speed that the iron band wheel was forced into a velocity beyond its endurance, and it burst into a thousand or less pieces. Frank was standing in front of the wheel on a parallel line, about two feet away, taking the pieces as they came. Frank was struck with nine pieces which left their mark, ranging from his feet to the top of the breast bone. Six flesh wounds, some of them quite serious, were sewed up. The worst perceptible injury was upon the right knee, cutting an ugly wound under and into the kneepan, and fracturing the ends of the long bones badly. It is a serious injury, and under the most favorable turn he will have a stiff knee on the right leg. The accident occurred about ten o'clock Thursday morning, the 20th, and it is impossible to give an opinion as to what may happen in his case within the first forty eight hours. 22 April The Express is extremely glad to know and to pass around the information that Frank Dodge, who was so severely injured last week, has now reached a stage when tolerable assurance can be given of his ultimate recovery, with but trifling disabilities left behind. Frank is suffering from pain and his confined position, but it is almost a dividing of his sufferings for him to know that he never attracted so much attention and never received so much sympathy before in his life. Frank is standing up remarkably well under his situation; very few could equal him in that, and it seems his friends and especially his fellow workmen, cannot do enough for him. There is a future before Frank yet, which this very accident may contribute largely to bring about. 29 April How is Frank? Twice regular, every day, this question is asked upon our streets. Everybody can be assured that Frank Dodge is getting along remarkably well, better even than the most hopeful thought was possible. 6 May Montello Hotels: Perkins House, S D Perkins, Proprietor The house is now open for business. The proprietor is so well known, and his adaptation to hotel keeping so generally appreciated, that the bare mention of the fact is all that is necessary to secure for the Perkins House its full share of the public patronage. The house is at or within a few steps of the depot. Good and faithful attendants. Good stabling for horses. Fountain House, P Croarken, Prop. Montello, Wis. The new proprietor respectfully announces that he will spare no pains to make this House a favorite with the traveling public. Improvements are being made in every department, with a view to making it a comfortable home alike for the regular and transient patron. The best of care taken of teams. We invite a trial.
