Deaths:

Death of Hugh Russell - It is but recently we heard of the death of our old friend, Hugh 
Russell, who has lived in Westfield for the past eighteen or twenty years.  One of the best 
and oldest citizens of our county has left us to return no more.  Mr. Russell must have been 
about eighty years of age, perhaps more.  And we have known him intimately and well, and the 
more and the better we knew him, the more he had our respect and friendship.  Although an 
aged man, his absence will be keenly felt in the community where he lived, and in the whole 
county as well.  The old gentleman had been sick for one whole year, but not suffered much 
pain.  Owing to our very intimate friendship, we cannot allow the event of his death to pass 
unnoticed.   11 Jan.

James C Brown, son of Horace and Esther Brown of the town of Westfield, was born at Fort 
Atkinson, Jefferson County, Wis, Aug 2, 1848.  He came to Westfield, with his parents in 
1853.  He died Jan. 30, 1873, after ten days severe and painful illness.  His disease, as 
circumstances, since, proved, was undoubtedly smallpox in its most virulent form.  It seemed 
to be a strange disease, either a peculiar and unusual form of smallpox, or more likely, a 
combination of smallpox and some other malignant eruptive disease.  It baffled the best 
efforts and skill of the doctors, both to understand and cure it.  He was buried on the 
afternoon of the day he died.  He was "exposed" some nine or ten days previous to his being 
taken sick, on his way home from Pinery.  He was notable for his truthfulness and honesty; 
always had a kind word to all; was liked by all, and hated none.
(Marquette Independent 18 Mar)

Joseph B Norton died on the 15th of Feb 1873.  Was one of the pioneers of our immediate 
region, having settled about 20 years ago on a farm 1 � miles north of our village.  Mr. 
Norton was also a pioneer in church affairs in our neighborhood, and has been a steady and 
faithful worker in that capacity up to the time of his death. Whatever he did in the line of 
Christian duty was always cheerfully done, and he always bore his just share of the burdens 
incident to the maintenance of the church, never asking the approbation of men, but always 
contented with the reward promised to good and faithful servants of the Lord.  
(Marquette Independent 18 Mar)

Adin C Rundlett, youngest son of Jess A and Martha Rundlett, of the town of Westfield, died, 
of smallpox Feb 19, 1873.  Was born in said town of Westfield, Oct 17, 1832.  He, accompanied 
by his sister, went to the funeral of James Brown, supposed then, to have died of the ? but 
afterwards proved to be small pox.  After this lie went to Stevens Point after a load of 
lumber, and came home sick, with severe pains in his head and back.  This was eleven days 
after had been exposed on Feb 13.  On the 16th he said: "Mother, prepare my dying pillow; 
I am almost gone!"  Then calmly and nobly settled up all his worldly affairs, sending kind 
wishes and goodbye to all his dear friends; then he wanted his sister Bell to sing for him.  
Seeing the grief of the family he said, "Don't cry for me - I shed not a tear, - for I am 
crossing the river of death, where I shall have no more suffering or sickness.  Don't 
mourn for me, for it won't be long before we shall meet again."  Thus manfully he met the 
struggles of death, as he had nobly died, charged all the everyday duties of life.  He was 
strongly attached to his friends. (Marquette Independent 18 Mar 1873)

Death of J B Norton - Mr. J B Norton, one of the old pioneers of Westfield, and a highly 
esteemed citizen, died of small pox last Saturday.   22 Feb

Further Particulars About the Lives of Mr. And Mrs. Norton
We have received a letter from Mr. G W Norton, Atlantic, Iowa, containing the following 
particulars about the life of his brother, the late J B Norton.
He was born May 20, 1823, at Ritchfield Springs, Otsego Co., NY, and lived in that county 
till he was about 17 years old, when he was sent to Erie Co to school.  In 1841 his father 
moved to that county, and lived there and in the edge of Cattaragus Co, till 1846.  Joseph
went west, to Waupun Wis; was gone one year, and then moved back and married Sophronia Lowe, 
in Oct. 1840.  The next spring his father and the family moved, in company with him and his 
wife, to Waupun, and even came to this place, then called Indian Land- and took up ? claim.  
He was among the first to organize a church at Westfield  In 1853 he and his brother G W 
Norton, went to Montello, rented a cabinet shop and worked in it for ?  He then went back on 
his farm and has made Westfield his home ever since.  He was in Chicago 1 � years sometime 
about 1856-7.  He enlisted in the army in feb 1864 and was discharged in Jun 1865.  He 
experienced religion when he was 17 years old, while at school in Springfield, NY, and 
lived a consistent Christian life.  While in the army he was one of the few who lived a 
faithful life of trust in his Savior.  

The following is taken from a letter received from Mr. C.J Lowe, brother of the late Mrs. 
Norton, in regard to her.
Her maiden name was Sophronia H Lowe.  She was born in Oneida County, NY, April 11, 1828, 
where she resided until 1841, when she moved with her family to Springville, NY.  She married 
to Joseph B Norton in October 1850, and moved to Waupun, Wis., where she lived about one 
year, and then moved to Westfield.  She experienced religion in early life and lived it, 
till removed to an immortal and pure life with her Savior.   (Marquette Independent, 25 Mar, 
1873)

Anna Campbell, daughter of James Campbell died at Lawrence Feb 20, aged 22 years.  Anna 
was born in the town of  ?, Fond du Lack Co., Wis., where her family then lived.  They soon 
after moved to their present residence.  After ten years her mother died, leaving the cares 
of the household upon Anna and her sister about two years older, who soon after got married, 
and Anna had the whole household care devolving upon her, which she perfomed in a commendable 
manner, to the time of her last sickness.  We know this affliction will be a severe one to the 
family, as it always is at the loss of one so dear. (Marquette Independent 18 Mar)

Annie Carman, daughter of Sam'l and Rhoda Carman of the town of Westfield was born in 
Oakland, Jefferson County, Wis., June 1, 1851, and died Feb. 23, 1873, of smallpox, after 
11 days sickness, and was buried the next day.  She was exposed in doing the ? for Mr. 
Brown's family, soon after James' death, and while other members of the family were sick.  
When advised not to go there by friends who feared it was not safe for her to go, although 
it was not yet known that the disease was smallpox, she answered calmly and determinedly; 
"If you were sick, with no one to come and take care of you, wouldn't you think it hard?  
I am sure I would.  I think a kind act is never thrown away."  Her disposition was always 
gentle and kind; loving, and beloved by all; always consulting her parents' wishes and 
obeying them.  She was very active, working and learning; daring in all things, and never 
feared danger.  She bore the great sufferings of her terrible disease with patience, 
fortitude and ?, and without a word of complaint.  When asked if she feared death, she 
calmly and quietly answered; "Who should I fear! Going to live with Christ! - where all is 
sweet and beautiful!  And so she died! As she lived - lovingly, hopefully, patiently and 
fearlessly.  (Marquette Independent 18 Mar)

Two more fatal cases of small pox in Westfield - a son, of Mr. J A Rundlett, died the latter 
part of last week, and a Miss Carman, a young lady about 22 years of age, residing one mile 
east of Westfield, died the first of the present week.   22 Feb

Bassett - In Eureka, Greenwood Co., Kansas, Jan 22d, 1873, of consumption, Mrs. C. H Bassett, 
aged 30 years.  Mr. Bassett and family removed from Marquette Co., Wis., to Kansas about 
three years ago, in hopes the climate of the southern states would be beneficial to the 
health of Mrs. Bennett, but since that time it has gradually failed and for the past six 
months she had been confined to her bed.  The deceased was a sister of the junior editor of 
this paper.  Mrs. Bassett leaves a husband and four little children to mourn her loss.  22 Feb

Horrible Murder in the Pinery - William Test, age 21 yr..  etc.  long article 8 Mar

Mrs. J B Norton, who was thought to be in a fair way of recovery, died Tuesday night, making 
the tenth death.   8 Mar

Mrs. Soparonia Norton, who departed this life at 12 o'clock at night, March 11, 1873, was 
the wife of the late Joseph B. Norton, who died of smallpox on the 15th of Feb last.  Mrs. 
Norton was taken sick with the same disease, in the last week in Feb.  The last day of said 
month she was in a very critical condition.  Mrs. Norton leaves six orphan children to mourn 
her loss.  The four youngest of whom will greatly need the kind care of so good and faithful 
a mother.  This is the severest loss sustained by any family in this region and seems still 
harder when we remember that no longer ago than the 8th of last month, both father and mother 
were in good health and overseeing domestic affairs.  The community sympathizes deeply with 
the afflicted family in their irreparable losses.  But God's judgments are just at all times,
and though severe in this case it is for the best, although we cannot tell why his judgments 
are so severe. (Marquette Independent 18 Mar)

Rozella Campbell, daughter of James B Campbell, died March 12, 1873, aged 17 years.  This 
is the second loss, sustained by the family of Mr. Campbell from the smallpox.  Rozella was 
sick but a very short time.  The disease seemed to take the malignant form from the start, 
as was reported, in this case, and there was but little or no chance for recovery, as soon 
as the disease set in.  Of Mr. Campbell's girls, Rozella was next in age to Anna, who died 
on the 28th ult, but was not spared to the already bereaved family, to share life with them.  
Rozella was loved and respected by all who knew her, and her loss will be keenly felt by the 
afflicted family.  (Marquette Independent, 18 Mar)

The wife of George Taylor, of Oxford, died last Saturday.  

The wife of James Pitts, of Packwaukee, died some two or three weeks ago, but we knew 
nothing of this death until a few days ago.  The two deaths mentioned have taken away two 
old ladies, and old settlers of this county, leaving places vacant never to be filled, but 
like other instances of the kind, to be forgotten too soon to serve as proper lessons to 
those living.   9 Aug.

In Oxford, on Saturday of last week, the wife of Cornelius Houslett,.  This woman has been 
sick, and most of the time confined to her bed, for the last twelve years.  A large amount of 
money has been expended by her kind and indulgent husband for medical treatment, without 
relief.  Her death has been expected for years; yet, when it did come, the husband and 
children were almost crazy and prostrated with grief.  In the passing away of their first 
grief, good judgment will lead them to acknowledge and submit to the righteous decree.  
Knowing the family so well, they have our sympathy.   23 Aug.

Johnston - In Harrisville, on the 5th inst, after a long and lingering sickness, Mrs. 
Margret, the wife of D. B. Johnston.  Her remains were followed to the last resting place 
of all men, on Tuesday, of this week, by a large concourse of sympathizing friends.  Another 
good wife, good mother, good neighbor, and a good citizen, has left a place vacant on earth.  
11 Oct

Death of an old settler - Patrick Reardon, of the town of Shields, in this county, died on 
Friday of last week.  Mr. Reardon was one of the pioneers of the town where he lived, and was
a well to do and respected farmer.  He leaves a wife and quite a large family of children to 
mourn his loss, who have our heartfelt sympathy in this their hour of trouble.   22 Nov

plat of North Montello, by H T  Hamilton, of Ripon.  As there were no points or stations,
