Frank came here more than a year ago, as an employee of the Granite Co., and by his steady habits, industry, and his gentlemanly bearing, has won the esteem and goodwill of all who have become acquainted with him. The bride has lived in this village from her infancy, and we believe we but voice the community when we say that Maria Finegan is one of the best girls that has grown up here, and she bears a true and pure Christian character. May Frank and Maria enjoy all the blessings this world affords, and live a useful life, is the wish of the Express and all their friends.

Miss Celia Kane is well known to a large number of people in and about Montello as a most estimable young lady, she having grown up here from childhood, and ripened into womanhood. Celia was always a good girl, and will make a truly good wife. We are unacquainted with Mr. Burns, but he must be a gentleman of sterling worth, to win and wed so sensible a young lady as Celia Kane. The Express and their large circle of friends unite in congratulations. 5 May Louis Guptil, the newly elected Chairman of Newton, was married on Sunday morning last to Miss Libbie, daughter of Alex Hamilton, of Springfield, the ceremony being performed by C E King.

In the presence of the relatives and a few of the select friends the interesting ceremony was performed by Rev Hill, of Westfield. After the congratulations the company partook of an elegant repast, soon after which the happy groom and bride took the train at Packwaukee for the most pleasant of all journeys, the wedding tour. The event was one of commingled joy and sadness. The rejoicings at the happiness of the couple were bedewed with the tears of sorrow at the departure of two of Montello's most pleasant young people, and such a felling pervaded the hearts of all the citizens. The bride, Miss Emma Morrill, has been a resident of the village since childhood and will be sadly missed from the large circle of friends. A prepossessing young lady, she has been an active mover in the social circle, and her strong influence has been felt in many good directions. The groom, Mr. James B Cogan, a native of the village, has been for the greater portion of his life a resident of it. His manly virtues have always won for him the respect and affection of all who have come in contact with him, and with that ballast he will ride safely over life's surging seas into the haven of a happy and respected old age. After the wedding tour Mr. and Mrs. Cogan proceed to their future home in the "land of the Dakota's", and may the good wishes of the Express and their numerous friends bear to their new home the joys and pleasures of their old home. The couple were recipients of many elegant and useful presents. 30 June Avery - Murphy: In Montello Monday afternoon, were bound by the silken cords of matrimony, Miss Anna Murphy, daughter of J C Murphy, and Mr. Ed Avery, the ceremony being performed by Rev J Larmer, Pastor of the Catholic Church. The wedding was unostentatious and one of those quiet and pleasant events that always retain a happy place in the memories of those permitted to partake of its enjoyment. The bride is well known as a very pleasant young lady, who enjoys the friendship of a large circle of acquaintances, and the Express heartily congratulates the young man who has won the affections of one of such solid worth, as we know Anna to be. The groom, though of comparatively short residence here, has deported himself in so gentlemanly a manner and has been so energetic in his business that he has won the esteem of all who have become acquainted with him. We bespeak for the happy couple, a joyous union and a pleasant journey through life. Mr and Mrs Avery enjoyed a wedding trip to Oshkosh. They will remain here for a time and we hope become permanent residents of our village. 7 July Matrimonial (Portage Register): At the residence of the bride's father, Mr Jas. Dunn, of Oxford, on Wednesday afternoon, the 27th ult, at one o'clock, the Rev. Mr. Hughes uttered those words which united the lives of Mr Jas. Bain, of Moundville, and Miss Janette Dunn, of Oxford, in wedlock. A number of relatives and friends of both bride and groom witnessed the ceremony. A sumptuous dinner was served, to which all did ample justice. The hours were spent in social intercourse, and music, both vocal and instrumental, made the occasion a pleasant one. May happiness and prosperity ever be theirs. The presents were both ornamental and useful, but the one that had the most real ornament, in your correspondent's opinion, was a deed of a farm of improved land, on the Oxfords flats, to the bride, from her father, a noble gift, which is another manifestation that Mr Dunn never does things by halves. All who read these lines will recognize in the bridegroom our popular and energetic colporteur and missionary, who has been employed by the American Tract Society for the past ten years. The bride is a graduate of Whitewater, in the vicinity of which place she has been teaching for some time, but has resigned her position as teacher for the most congenial one of wife and assistant colporteur. 14 July McNutt - Luce: July 21, 1883, at the residence of the bride's parents, in the village of Oxford, Wis., by Rev. W J Huges, Finley H McNutt and Dora A Luce, both of Oxford. This happy consummation of a long anticipated event will be received as glad tidings by the numerous friends of the parties throughout the county. Miss Dora, well known as one of Oxford's fairest daughters, has won a splendid reputation throughout this portion of the State as a most excellent teacher, which bespeaks many of those beautiful qualities so desirable in a wife. Mr. McNutt is a young man of sterling worth and is one of the solid young men of Marquette county. The Express gladly sends in its congratulations and wishes the happy couple a long life and a pleasant one. 28 July The marriage of Julius Meinke to Miss Annie Yanish was duly celebrated at the residence of Geo.

After the ceremony was performed, a bountiful and rich repast was served by the parents of the bride, to which all the guests did ample justice. Mr Norcross is one of our solid and substantial business men, being one of the proprietors of the planing mills and machine shop at this place and has a host of friends here and in other parts of the state who congratulate him upon the happy event. Miss Rosetta Straight is one of Montello's really worthy young women, a lady of good sound sense and judgment, and is two well-known for her stirling qualities for us to make further comment. The couple left for the Dells and other places of interest Tuesday evening. 1 Sept. Married: At Montello, Aug 28th, by S A Pease, Court Commissioner, Fred D Brown, of Greenlief, Brown Co., Wis., to Mrs. Adaline Gray Ramsey, of Douglas, Marquette Co., Wis. 1 Sept.

Mr. Wynn is an industrious and frugal young man, while his bride is a lady of exceeding good sense and as industrious and economical as any woman we know of. They will, in a few years grow rich, and prosper through life. 13 Oct. On the 27th of Nov. 1883, in the town of Moundville, at the residence of the bride's parents, Elizabeth Ann Ellis, daughter of John and Margaret Ellis, to Samuel Dean Townley, all of Moundville.

After dinner the presentation of the following useful articles was indulged in by the friends of the bride and groom. List of gifts etc. . . This young man is a farmer, well to do, and that night he took his bride to their new home on the farm. This wedding is the culmination of those characteristic elements of human life, which ought to precede all events of the kind. A long acquaintance, and the love which adorns the bridal party; the seeds of true love and affection carried to a bridal home will always fill the household apartments with that sweet fragrance which will banish discord, and turn burdens into pleasure. 1 Dec. Married: In Germania, Dec 4th, 1883, by Rev C F Reichart, of Westfield, Wm. F Block and Agnes J Torse, all of Germania. 8 Dec. A guest at the wedding of Mr McMahon's daughter, Kate, in Buffalo, on the 20th of last month, has kindly furnished us with an account of the pleasant affair, together with a list of presents received by the bride. Owing to an over amount of work in the office, we have been unable to put it in type this week, but it will appear in our next issue. 8 Dec. The pleasantest affair which it has been our good fortune to attend, took place at the residence of our highly respected townsman, Mr Michael McMahon on Tuesday evening, Nov 20, 1883, in honor of the marriage of his daughter, Miss Kate to Mr Wm. Spellman, of Portage City. There were about fifty invited guests present and each and every one seemed to enjoy themselves to their fullest capacity. No doubt this was owing to the fact that both Mr and Mrs McMahon did all in their power to make it pleasant for their friends. The evening passed very quickly and pleasantly as most of those present tripped the fantastic toe, keeping time to the exhilarating music furnished by Wm Owen and wife, till the hour of midnight arrived, when the music suddenly ceased, and all were invited to an adjoining dining room, where was found a table loaded with all the good things of this earth, and by the length of time we remained at the table, it is believed that justice was done to the supper. Our young friend, Miss Kate, will be greatly missed, not only at home, but in the neighborhood where she was well and favorably known as a pleasant and agreeable young lady. A lady in every sense of the word. We are but slightly acquainted with Mr. Spellman, the groom, but judging from his appearance we believe he is worthy of the prize he has won, and from what we have heard from those who have a right to know, Mr. S. had, by industry and close attention to business, secured for himself a fair share of this world's wealth, consequently he can offer to this wife, not only the comforts, but many of the luxuries. The next day they took their departure for Portage City, where they will reside. May joy and prosperity always attend them, and may the sun always shine brightly, is the wish of their many friends. The following is a list of presents.

Golden Wedding: The fiftieth anniversary of the marriage of Rev. Isaac Smith and wife, was celebrated by the assembling of about seventy individuals from different parts of the county, at their residence in the town of Moundville, Feb 27th. Everything was auspicious; the weather had moderated; the wind, which for some days previous had not only chilled through its coldness and intensity, but drifted the roads as well, had subsided; the sleighing good and the people without exception in high spirits, all of which tended to make it an event surpassing far any gathering witnessed in Moundville for many years. Etc. . . Thirteen children have been born to this aged couple, nine living and were present, thirty four grandchildren, fifteen of whom were present, and four great grandchildren who answered to their names. Etc...10 March Wedding Anniversary: The twentieth anniversary of the marriage of Mr and Mrs L W Sims was made the occasion of a large and pleasant gathering of the neighbors and friends of the couple at the Central on Monday evening.

The first hours of the evening were given to an informal interchange of social amenities until about 10:30, when the guests sat down to a repast worthy the reputation of the host and hostess as entertainers par excellence.

Black of Westfield, had died the day before. It seems grievous indeed that scarcely an issue of the Express is permitted to pass out to its readers without bearing the message of death within our midst. Etc. Mrs. Black was a sister of Frank and Samuel Russell and Dr. Hugh Russell, who is now in Dakota, and if we are not mistaken she was the youngest of the four. Etc. . . 21 April Frank Russell, administrator of the estate of Mrs. Jane Black, will sell the estate, and personal property belonging to the estate, on Thursday of next week, at the farm, about two miles from Westfield. The sale will commence at 10 o'clock a.m. 27 Oct In Germania, April 18th, 1883, after a long and painful illness, Frederick Block, aged 54 years. Mr. Block, with his family, came to this place about ten years ago; his son connected himself with the Methodist Society and has since proved a faithful and consistent member. He leaves a wife and several children, all of whom are here with the exception of the eldest daughter, now in Minnesota. His loss will be deeply felt by both relatives and acquaintances. 21 April Died: In Shields, April 30th, 1883, Margaret, youngest daughter of Hugh Kane, of croup, aged 5 months and 29 days. 12 May Died, at his residence in Milwaukee, on the 5th inst., R R Williams, father of E R Williams, of Montello, at the age of 70 years. Mr. Williams was born in North Wales, in 1813, and married Miss Jane Roberts in 1838. He, with his little family, came to America in 1842, and lived in the state of New York about one year, and then came west, first settling in Racine, but soon after moved to Montello, about 1850; resided here fourteen years. He then moved to Milwaukee, where he has since lived, up to the time of his death. Mr. Williams spent many years on the ocean and lakes, as Capt. of vessels. He leaves a wife and four children to grieve over the loss of their best friend, an indulgent father and husband. As Mr. Williams lived here a number of years, there are many living in this vicinity who will remember him well, and recall many kindnesses received at his hand, now that he has gone to join the thousands on the other side of the silent river. 12 May Died of diphtheria, on the 29th ult., at the home of her parents in Chicago, Lillie Armour, only child of Mr and Mrs A H Armour, formerly of this place. 12 May. On Friday night, May 18,1883, Myrtle, daughter of Mr and Mrs Geo. Moore, aged 3 years, 1 month and 16 days. 26 May The funeral service of Mr Marvin Harris, of Baraboo, were held at the M E Church at this place Tuesday. Rev Jas Ford preached the sermon. Mr Harris formerly resided in Briggsville but for a number of years has resided at Baraboo. He leaves a widow and several children beside numerous other relatives and friends. He was about 60 years of age. 2 June Mrs. Eliza Ann King, whose death was noticed last week, was born in Sherbourne, Chenango County, NY., Dec 2, 1818, and died May 15, 1883. She was married to Walter King, May 9, 1836, and came to Wisconsin with her husband in 1844. They resided in Waukesha county some ten or twelve years and then came to the town of Crystal Lake, in this county, where they settled and remained until about two years ago when they removed to the farm the family now occupies in the town of Harris. Etc. . . She leaves a husband an two children to mourn the irreparable loss of an affectionate wife and mother, and in their sad bereavement they have the sincere sympathy of a large circle of friends and acquaintances. The surviving children are Chas. E King, a well known and honored citizen of this town and county, and Mrs. Don A Winchell, now residing in Iowa. Three children died years ago, two during their residence in the east and one in Crystal Lake. Westfield Union. 2 June The funeral of Enos Dean was held at Oxford on Wednesday, June 27. He was buried with Masonic rites. A very appropriate funeral sermon was delivered by Rev W P Hill, who is also a Mason. The clergyman before closing read to the audience the following obituary notes. Enos Dean was born in Duchess Co., NY, in 1805, and died in Oxford, June 25th, 1883. In early life he moved to Boone Co., NY, and lived there until 21 years of age. He then moved to Ohio, where he married his first wife, Lucinda Evans. Nine children were the fruit of this marriage, seven of whom are now alive. He came to Adams county in 1856 and lived on his farm until the loss of his wife. Soon after he settled in Oxford, since which time he has made it his home. Mr. Dean was a member of the Baptist church in Ohio, and lived in its communion until the church in Oxford went down. He was twice married, and leaves a poor, helpless, blind widow to follow him to her death. As members of a noble fraternity, we know no outward man, and God looks at the heart. Etc. . . . We add that Mr. Dean passed away at a ripe age, 78 years…. . 30 June Gone to his Rest: On the 10th inst., Anthony Quantius of Montello, died at the age of 86 years, leaving a widow and six grown up children behind him. Mr. Quantius has been an active man through life and his experience has been quite uncommon, because he has seen and felt more of the rough and smooth sides and surfaces of life than often falls to the lot of any one man. For a time the sun would shine bright, then it would be covered with a cloud, followed by a storm which would purify the atmosphere and produce a harvest of happy and fruitful events. To correctly measure and estimate the history and experiences of his life would tax the wisest philosopher, and it may never be done this side of the final Judge. The old veteran has been fully conscious that this was his last scene and that his end upon earth was near at hand; but he shrank not from its approach, but seemed rather to covet the embrace of that death which has to do only with the body. There is every reason to believe that his spirit has been taken aboard that ship which carries its flock over to the other shore in security. While we hate to part even with the aged, there is more occasion for rejoicing than for mourning, because it is the happening of an event in perfect accord with the law which brings and takes away the human family, and to die at his age seems to be a fulfillment of the law of human existence. Mr. Quantius was buried from the Catholic Church of Montello, on the 12th, the Rev Father Larmer officiating, and his remains were followed by a large concourse of neighbors and acquaintances with all of whom the ties of earth are now broken, only to be reunited upon the other side of the river which admits of passage but the one way, all must go over, but none return. 14 July Died: William Wilson, one of the old settlers of Moundville, died on the morning of July 15th, after an illness of only a few weeks, aged 73 years. He came from Scotland in the year of 1850 and settled in Moundville, where he has since lived. He has always been an industrious and sober man, a good, quiet, peaceful citizen, and always enjoyed good health. The funeral services were conducted by Rev Isaac Smith, and there was a large number of his old neighbors and friends at the funeral to pay their last respects to him. May he rest in peace. 28 July In the village of Montello, July 29th, Jesse R Griffin, at the age of 58 years, of inflammation of the stomach and bowels. (Pecksville and Sing Sing papers, NY, please copy.) Mr. Griffin leaves a widow and nine children, three of them living in Chicago and the others in the east. Mrs. Homan, a daughter who had lived near Montello for several years until about a year ago, when she removed to Chicago, reached Montello about one hour before her father died. The wife and children of Mr Griffin are intelligent and worthy people. But whisky ruined him, and sent him adrift in the world, and whisky was no doubt the cause of his death finally. The circumstances of his last drinking, just a week before he died, and his final death from that cause, furnishes a text from which weekly sermons ought to be preached, until whisky drinking shall be a practice remembered only by the passing generation. Once a kind, indulgent and quite intelligent husband and a very affectionate father, finally led by the irresistible power of an acquired appetite for whisky, out from family and friends into a world of cold vagabondage, where he floated for a few years, until he fell in with a combination of unsuspecting and thoughtless circumstances, where the last ten or fifteen drinks, taken in ten or fifteen minutes, proved to be too much for his enfeebled system, and he died from its effects. What a lesson this ought to be. 4 Aug. Henry Blakely, for several years a resident of Harrisville and Montello, died at Reading, Mich. last week of consumption. He had very poor health for some time, and went to Mich. hoping the change would improve it, but disease had taken too firm a hold of his system for him to recover, and he continued to fail until his death. Henry was a genial and agreeable young man, and though crippled when quite young, he was industrious and continued at his etc. . . . 4 Aug. The father of S G Mills of Douglas was buried last Saturday. He was 87 years old. (Briggsville) 18 Aug. Another Pioneer Gone Home: Timothy Mills died in the town of Douglas on the 10th of August, 1883, at the age of 86 years. This old gentleman came into Marquette county 26 years ago and settled where he died. He was the father of Silas Mills, Esq., with whom the old man has lived fro many years and been so tenderly and so thoroughly cared for in his helpless decline from an active life to his final rest. Nobody mourns his departure, as nobody should at his advanced age. There is one thing that needs to be remembered of the old gentleman, nobody can say ought against him, for there is no wrong to be charged up to his long account. 18 Aug. Walter Kind died in the town of Harris, Aug 7th, 1883, aged 73 years, 3 months and 5 days. Mr. King was born May 2d, 1810, in Columbus, Chenango Co., NY. In 1836 he married Eliza Ann Ball, and moving west settled in Waukesha Co., a few miles west of Milwaukee, in 1845. He lived here for ten years, when he moved to Marquette county and settled in Crystal Lake town where he remained until about two years ago, when he changed his residence to near the village of Westfield, where he lived until his death. Mr. King was one of the old settlers of this county, and a man widely known and generally liked. He was very energetic in his business movements and always a good neighbor. Two of his six children, with an adopted child, survive him, and he leaves a sister in Kansas and one in New York. 18 Aug. Jones: Aug. 18th, in the town of Ft. Winnebago, of Bright's disease, John T Jones, aged 35 years and 7 days. Last Saturday night, at precisely ten o'clock, the angel of sorrow cast the shadow of his dark wings over the old happy home of our childhood and removed therefrom a beloved brother. "Passing away" is written upon every earthly thing. Death is a necessity of our being, but when the home circle is invaded and broken by the grim monster, tears unbidden will flow and death be regarded as an enemy. John Thomas Jones was born in Greene Chenango Co., New York, August 11th, 1848, and was thirty five years and one week old at the time of his death. He came with his parents in infancy to Marquette Co., Wis., and in later years to Columbia Co., where they now reside, and where he died. In 1873 he was married to Francis I Parks; three children were born to them, two of whom had preceded him to the grave, the wife and one small child still remaining. From childhood he had always complained of an affection of the back, which was regarded by his parents as a result of his rapid growth. About eight years ago, he began to complain of severe pains in his left side and about the region of the kidneys, And from that time he has hardly known a well day, but still struggled on in manly attempt to gain a livelihood by hard labor. Many days we have seen him swing the cradle, feed the thresher or drive the plow when he would have been a better subject for a sick bed. Medicines and physicians seemed to do him no good, but not until about one year ago did he lay aside his work and recognize the fact that he must either find speedy cure or die. In his life he was honest and candid and no individual can or will say that they were ever wronged by him in anything. He was buried Monday morning in the Port Hope cemetery, a large number of friends, etc. . . . . 1 Sept. Death of E H Phillips: (Portage Democrat) One on the saddest events that has transpired in Columbia County for many a day was the death of Edward H Phillips, which occurred last Thursday at one o'clock a.m., at the home of his father, Mr C Phillips, of Wyocena, from what was pronounced by his physician as typhoid fever. Mr. P. was sick only a few days, both Wed and Thurs of last week he worked with a threshing machine, doing his full days work. Friday morning his father observed that he was not well and, indeed, he had not been well since July. Sat. morning he suggested to him to go to Wyocena and see a physician, Dr. Lawn. During the night he became worse, and in the morning, Dr. Cavaney, who attended him during his illness, was sent for. It was not thought at first that his sickness was of a very serious nature; but Sunday night he became delirious, and appeared to be suffering severely. Monday he became rational, but during the night he was much worse. Tuesday again he seemed better, but when night came on he was in terrible suffering, and three men were required to keep him in bed. The next day he recognized all of his many friends who came to see him; but at night he became unconscious, and passed away ere morning, medical skill and the love and care of friends failing to hold the brittle thread of life together. Mr. Phillips was a young man in the full prime of life, being only twenty-nine years, one month and fifteen days old at the time of his death. He was the oldest son of a family of seven, and the pride alike of parents, brothers and sisters, and no more worthy young man ever lived. Not an enemy was his, and where known he was universally esteemed and loved. He was also one of the best educators of this section, having occupied the position of principal in the Westfield High school for the past four years, closing his etc...6 Oct. Terrible Accident: A young man named Oliver Smith, whose home is in Marquette village, met with a terrible accident on Friday last, which resulted in his death. Young Smith had been in the employ of one of the gentlemen at the Ne-pee-nauk several weeks, as boat paddler, and on that fatal Friday had been on duty as usual. On reaching the landing at the house, he pulled his boat upon the shore, and then reaching into the boat took his gun by the muzzle, and in lifting it out, the hammer caught on the seat or side of the boat, discharging the gun, the contents of the barrel taking effect in his side, just under the arm, carrying away a large piece of flesh, and breaking several ribs. The young man ran several rods before he fell, and was taken up and carried into the house, and surgeon sent for, but death relieved him from his suffering in about an hour after the accident. Those who knew Oliver Smith say he was a steady, industrious and upright young man. 20 Oct. An Old Man Gone: Jas. L. Gorsline died at his residence in the town of Buffalo Sunday morning, 14th inst, at the advanced age of 77 years. He was born in the state of Vermont in 1806, and when a youth learned the business of hatter. He removed to New York City, where he worked at his trade several years, and where he married his first wife. He then went to Pennsylvania, where he engaged in the mercantile and lumber business, which he carried on for 18 years, removing from Penn. to Wisconsin in the fall of 1859. Here he purchased a farm and has been engaged in farming since that time. He leaves a wife and six children, Mr. C O Gorsline of this village, being one of the six. He was buried in the Buffalo cemetery, Rev. A Torbet preaching the funeral sermon. Thus it is we are called upon to chronicle the death of another of the old settlers, a good neighbor, and a friend to all who enjoyed his acquaintance. The old gentleman has always been a stirring, active and hard working man; he is now at rest. Let him sleep in peace. 20 Oct. Burned to Death: Dr. Pratt informs us that on Friday last, Mrs. Fred King, who lived about two miles from Germania, was burned to death. It seems the lady was subject to fits of epilepsy, and while boiling pumpkins in a large kettle over a fire out doors, was taken with a fit and fell forward into the fire, burning her face, arms and breast until the flesh was literally roasted. Her two sons, who were working in the field, on coming to the house, discovered their mother lying in the fire, and got her out as soon as possible, then ran to their father and informed him of the terrible accident. Mr. King immediately sent a boy to Montello for Dr. Pratt, before the physician arrived, the woman was dead. She was about 50 years old. 27 Oct. Henry Rockerfeller of Packwaukee died on the 28th inst., at the age of 75 years. Mr. Rockerfeller had lived upon the same farm where he died, since 1854, and a good farmer he has been. And while he has seen and experienced the checkered landscape of life, Mr. Rockerfeller has been an average man, a good neighbor, and honest. His health has been failing for a number of years, and for weeks before his death his mind kept pace with his bodily infirmities, and went out gradually, like a flickering light, with the oil consumed. Mr. Rockerfeller leaves five children, all married but one, and a widow, his second wife. 3 Nov. In the village of Montello, on the morning of the 13th inst., Jochen Weseloh, aged 69 years. He was German by birth, and emigrated to America and settled in Crystal Lake, Marquette county, July 1876. Mr. Weseloh is the father of J F Weseloh, the present Register of Deeds of this county. He also leaves another son, Henry, who is a Lutheran Clergyman, located at Cleveland, Ohio. The son who is a minister came out here a few days before the death of his father and remained until after the funeral which was held on the 15th. A daughter, Mrs. Hollenbeck, of Westfield, with the two sons named, and the widow, comprise the family now left. An acquaintance with our Register of Deeds, and a brief interview with the preacher son, is evidence enough of the great wisdom and study of duty on the part of the father in bringing up children,. Such children will revere their father, and such a father is entitled to reverence, as the most precious elements of human life are largely exhibited in that household. To this family the Lord has been bountiful in his gifts, which have not been wasted; but have been appreciated and improved. The funeral was conducted by Rev. Hoyer, Jr., of Princeton. 17 Nov. L. D. Dean, of Briggsville, died on the 10th inst, at the age of 72 years, of heart disease. Mr. Dean was a native of Vermont, and moved to this county with his family 27 years ago. He leaves a widow and six children, and his is the first death in the family. It is said by his neighbors that he was a good man, a good neighbor and citizen. Mr. Dean must have made some marks in his lifetime that will be remembered, because he had a positive and decided opinion of his own. With the make of a man that he was, his characteristic impress must have been left in his posterity, so that his life of usefulness will not be obliterated by his death. Thus we live by, and study the character of men, and the young especially, learn lessons of profit. The family friends of this aged pioneer have no cause to mourn, he had lived out his days and has gone to a better world that the one he has left. 17 Nov. In this village, on the morning of Dec 5th, 1883, Margaret Ellen, wife of Sanford Griffin, and daughter of J J Shibley and wife, aged 33 years. Mrs. Griffin lived in this village from childhood, and was well known to nearly everybody in this community. She was married to Sanford Griffin in 1874, and with him, has lived happily, and their home has been the delight of both, until the ruthless destroyer, death, entered it on Wed morning last, leaving another once happy home in darkness, another social circle broken, another chair vacant. Mrs. Griffin was a Christian lady, and leaves the record of a well spent life. She was quiet and unassuming in the relations of life. She was a faithful, tender, loving wife, mother, daughter and friend, whose loss will be deeply mourned by relatives, and deplored by all her acquaintances. The bereaved husband, and the little child, only a week old, have the sympathy of hosts of friends in this the greatest struggle of their lives. The last sad rites were observed at her late residence and at the M E Church, on Thur. afternoon at 2 o'clock, in the presence of a large number of friends, the services being conducted by Rev A Torbet. 8 Dec. Card of Thanks: I wish to express my heartfelt thanks to all the kind friends who so generously assisted me in my time of great trouble, during the sickness and burial of my wife. Your acts of kindness and words of sympathy will not soon be forgotten. S Griffin. 15 Dec. Neshkoro, Wis, Dec 10th, 1883: On Dec 6th, the Angel of Death alighted at the home of Mr and Mrs James Sexton, and bore from their midst to her heavenly home, their white souled infant Mable, aged ten months and six days. May the Great Giver of all earthly gifts pour balm on the hearts of the grief stricken family, and may the time come to them when they may feel it to be the wise dispensation of a farseeing and merciful God. 15 Dec.

Miss Young and Miss Kelsey were out driving with a horse and cutter, and on turning the corner of Barstow street, the cutter slued around and struck a heavy sleigh in the street, with such force, it broke the box and sent the cutter in an opposite direction, turning the horse partly around and breaking one of the shafts, and partly overturning the sleigh, throwing Miss Young violently to the frozen ground. She was picked up in an insensible condition, and carried into the Fountain House, and medical aid summoned as quickly as possible. The physicians examined her but could find but few bruises upon her person, but her neck had received a very bad wrench and her head was injured by the heavy fall. Miss Young is, at this writing, feeling a little better, and her friends sincerely hope she will soon recover. 6 Jan.

Mrs. Long's Confession: Mrs. Ellen Long, under arrest for the murder of little Harvey Whittemore, refused to come into court. The court engaged in making the examination therefore repaired to her cell to take the testimony. She was found in an uncommunicative mood and bound not to talk; but by dint of the closest questioning a confession was obtained from her that she killed the boy. She says she cut the boy's throat at 11:15am Wed, Oct 24, in her cellar, then let the body down into the old well under her summer kitchen and let it remain there till she got ready to put it on the sand bank in the river. She says she killed him alone and carried his body to the river alone. She refuses to give any reason for the awful deed. The general opinion is that Mrs. Long had an accomplice, and it is to find out this fact that the examination still continues. The feeling is growing in Princeton, that Mrs. Long is insane, and this will be the defense that will be made for her when she comes to trial in etc. . . . 1 Dec Poisoned: from last week's Princeton Republic: Last Saturday Ottelie Lueck, of Germania, and Mary Zacharias, of Puckaway came to the village of Princeton. They had heretofore broken the ties of friendship and become somewhat estranged toward each other all on account of a young man, named Rich, who appeared to loom up as the particular "nigger in the wood pile" in this case. Rich had transferred his captivating address from one to 'tother and 'tother to one, until there was a little too much jealousy between the fair ones for smooth sailing down the journey of life. On Saturday they met in this village and putting on complacent airs of friendship, Ottelie gave Mary some candy, apparently breaking a piece from a stick she was tasting. After an elapse of a few minutes Mary began to feel sick, and, repairing to the house of Mrs. Rich, became so violently ill that Dr. Mueller was called. The doctor soon came to the conclusion that Mary had been poisoned, and the symptoms indicated the presence of strychnine. The Doctor vigorously applied the proper emetics and antidotes and happily saved the life of the victim. How was Mary poisoned? was the now absorbing question, She could not account for it unless the candy taken from the hand of Ottelie Lueck was poisoned. In the meantime Ottellie Lueck had returned to her home in Germania. The matter became the subject of conversation Sunday. Monday the proper papers were placed in the hands of Constable Merrill and Miss Lueck was arrested and brought before Justice Ed Harroun for examination on the charge of attempting to poison Mary Zacharias. On Tues. the trial resulted in Miss Lueck being discharge from custody. The evidence on the part of the defense etc...15 Dec.
