Lowe - Haney - In Montello, on Friday evening, Dec 24, 1875, by Rev. Father DeWilt, Mr. George L Lowe, of Montello, and Miss Agnes Haney, of Shields. Once before we had George married, but the bride we assigned him proving to be a myth instead of a miss, we had to gig back. Now, however, the miss-take is no mistake at all, and we extend our congratulations to the happy couple without fear of having to untie them next week. May their journey through life be attended by health and true happiness. 1 Jan. Atwood - Treadway - At the Universalist Church in Briggsville, Dec. 22, by Rev. G W Cass, Mr. H. C. Atwood, of Portage, to Miss Ida E. Treadway, of Briggsville. 1 Jan. Woodard - Churchill - On Dec. 25th, at the residence of the bride's father, by Rev. T. Lawson, Mr. Charles L. Woodard, to Miss Emeline E. Churchill, all of Oxford. 1 Jan. Mills - Osborn - On Dec. 25th, by Rev. T. Lawson, Mr. Theodore M. Mills, of Douglas, Wis., to Miss Mary A. Osborne, of Coloma, Wis. 1 Jan. Slade - Neale - At Plainfield, Waushara county on the 29th of Dec, 1875, by the Rev. Mr._, Mr. Edward M. Slade, and Miss Alma Neil, both of Packwaukee, Marquette Co. 8 Jan. Hubbard - Hanks - At the residence of the bride's father, in the town of Harris, Dec 30, 1875, by Rev. T.

Solomon - McMillian - At the residence of Joseph Waldo, Moundville, Wis, on the 1st day of Jan, 1876, by Rev. Isaac Smith, Mr. Eugene Solomon, of Oxford, and Miss Mary McMillian, of Douglas. 18 Jan. Wanted to Marry - At the Plainfield Hotel, on the 30th ult, by Rev. Mr. Hackney, Edward M Slade and Miss Alma Neale, both of Packwaukee. While the company was in ecstacy over what they supposed would so soon take place, the messenger sent for the Elder returned with the untimely news that he (the Elder) was too young - in the ministry - to marry, but was "terrible sorry", so some one said, "Send for Esq. Spees," but Edward said "No! I promised Alma's mother that a minister should marry us, and I'll do as I agreed if it takes all night." So Bob - Bob Milliken - was sent for and was soon on hand with Bardwell's "Hancock rig," and in the short space of fifty minutes the twain were one - found Elder Palmer of Almond, at home, and he tied the know and took the fees. I predict that Edward will make a good husband, and if he does, I know from appearances that Alma will make a good wife. Long may they live, and tell their marriage tale to their children and their children's children. 18 Jan.

Lincoln, Union Grove, Wis., Dec 27, 1875. It is with regret that I have to announce to you the death of Mr. Wm. Lincoln, formerly of your county. He died last night, after about eight day's illness, from inflammation of the lungs. Mr. Lincoln was one of the first settlers in the town of Buffalo, Marquette county, locating there in the year 1846. He lived there until about five years ago, when he sold his farm in that town, and purchased of his father the old homestead in Union Grove, Racine county, on which he has resided since. He leaves his family in good circumstances, but will be greatly missed by them and in the neighborhood. It will be hard to fill his place. He was an honest, upright man, and a good neighbor. 1 Jan. Ayers - In the town of Hull, Marathon county, Dec 28, Anna, wife of C R Ayers, aged 55 years. The deceased, with her husband, has resided with us for upwards of two years last past, having removed from Marquette county to this place in the summer of 1873. During the greater portion of her residence here her health remained poor, and her death, on Tuesday last, was an event not unexpected. A lady of estimable qualities has gone from among us, and as far as her acquaintance, extended thus far will our citizens mourn her loss and sympathize in the bereavement of him who was her most constant companion. 8 Jan. Alexander - In the town of Westfield, Dec 29th, 1875, after three days' illness, Mr. James Alexander; aged 31 years. Mr. Alexander was a resident of Westfield for a dozen years or more, and well known in the county, as a worthy citizen and good neighbor. He leaves a wife and eight children to mourn the loss of a kind husband and indulgent father. The sympathy of a large circle of friends goes out to the afflicted and sorrowing family. 18 Jan. Kendall - In Berlin, Wis, on Sunday morning, Feb. 13, 1876, of pulmonary consumption, Colecta M wife of F A Kendall, Jr. aged 42 years and 7 months. The remains were brought to Montello on Tues, and interred in the village cemetery; funeral services being held at the M E church, with discourse by Rev J T Martel, Pastor. The deceased was the oldest daughter of Jacob and Lucy Simonds (now Mrs. Daniels). She was born in Fitzwilliam, NH, July 12th, 1833. July 30th, 1850, she gave herself in marriage to Mr. Kendall, at Fitchburg, Mass, and the year following came with him to Montello. At the time of their coming here Montello had few pretentions as a village; it was really in the wilderness, lonesome and uninviting; but the young wife had a brave heart and cheerful nature; nothing was so dark that she could not find a bright side to it, and she managed to impart a portion of her cheerfulness to all with whom she came in contact. Among the early settlers she was highly esteemed for her goodness of heart and bright social qualities; even the red men, their squaws and papooses, found in her a friend whom they delighted to honor. And so she continued to win the regard of all. To the young husband just starting in business, she was a jewel of a helpmate, always aiding with heart and hand every project that tended to his success. Her labors and zeal in this direction made her life one of constant activity up to a little over two years since, when that dread disease consumption fastened its fangs upon her lungs and began to sap the fountains of her life. Mr. Kendall then gave up his business here, and tried changes of climate; employed skilled physicians, and used every means that love could suggest and money purchase, to bring back health to her wasting form. But all was in vain. She continued to fail until finally at four o'clock Sunday morning her spirit was freed from its earthly tenement and wafted home. . . . . . And those who were near and dear to her, are remembered in the hearts of her friends. The stricken husband and daughters, the aged mother, the lonely sister and brother, alike have the sincere, deep and affectionate sympathies of this community in their afflictive bereavement. May they be comforted and supported by that faith which promises a glorious reason beyond the tomb. 19 Feb Card of Thanks I desire to return my heartfelt thanks to those kind friends in Montello who attended the funeral of my late wife. Especially are they due to those who took part in the ceremonies and rendered assistance. I would also tender my thanks to the many friends in Berlin who visited and comforted my wife during her last illness, and rendered kind service to the family after her death. F A Kendall, Jr. 19 Feb. Found Dead in Bed: Mr. John Ryan was found dead in bed at the American House, Princeton, on Monday morning. He had attended the funeral of Mr. James Kenety on Sunday, and in company with his son started home about 9o'clock in the evening. Just after crossing Fox River bridge the wagon broke down, and whether the parties were injured in this way is not known, but soon afterward they were found and brought to the American House and put to bed. Father and son slept in the same room, but in different beds, and the son got up in the morning and went down, looked after his wagon and then returned to the hotel, and going to the room, found the father dead. He was lying in the same position he had been placed in when put to bed at night, and from appearance had not moved. Both parties were in liquor when taken to bed at night, and it was not thought they were hurt by the accident of breaking down the wagon. They are reported as living near Spring Lake, Waushara County. The friends claim that the old gentleman had been troubled with a severe pain in his heart for several days, but was better on Sunday. From his sudden death it would seem that the ailment was more serious than was known, and that his death was caused by an affection of the heart. The body was taken home to his family on Monday. 26 Feb. Smith - In the town of Springfield, Feb 17th, 1876, Augusta, wife of John Smith; aged 34 years. Her death was quite sudden. She leaves a husband and three children to mourn her loss. 26 Feb Lackey - At Westfield, March 3rd, 1876, after a brief illness of six days from heart disease, Mary, wife of Philo Lackey, aged 46 years 8 months and 6 days. In the course of human events we have many sad and trying scenes to pass through, that leave with no sorrowful recollections that will not be efficient until our sun shall have set to rise no more. Such a scene was witnessed by a large concourse of people, on Sunday, at Westfield, when the last remains of the wife of Philo Lackey were laid in their final resting place. Her funeral was attended by about three hundred persons. The outbursts of grief from the bereaved family and friends were heart rending. The deceased was a resident of Marquette county for 21 years. She was a good wife, a kind and affectionate mother, and beloved by all who knew her; and her loss is deeply mourned. But we have the assurance that she is at rest in a better world than this. 11 Mar Briggs - At Briggsville, Marquette county, Wis., March 8th, 1876, of consumption, Ellen F, wife of James A Briggs, aged 36 years. 11 Mar. Suicide of Mrs. Geo. Needham - Through Mr. F. Chickering of the Woolen Mills Store in this village, we learn that Mrs. Geo. Needham, living in the town of Fort Winnebago, six miles north of Portage, committed suicide last Tuesday morning, by cutting her throat from ear to ear. Cause unknown. We believe Mrs. Needham was formerly a resident of the town of Newton, in this county, removing to Columbia county, with her husband and family, something less than a year ago. Etc.. . She leaves a large family of children to mourn her untimely taking off, some of whom have reached maturity. She was between 50 and 60 years of age. 11 Mar Wilcox - In Twinsburg, O., April 12th, 1876, of inflammation of the kidneys, Rev. John Wilcox, ages 62 years. Mr. Wilcox formerly resided in the town of Packwaukee, in this county, having come there in 1851, where he lived for 18 years. He will be well remembered by the old settlers. He resided in Twinsburg for the last seven years of his life. 22 Apr Death of Jacob Roehm - We learn that Jacob Roehm, formerly a citizen of this place, and well known to old residents, died quite suddenly at his home in Durand, this State, a few days since. 12 May In Lamartin, Fond du Lac county, Wis, on the 6th of May, 1876, Mr. Daniel Gibbon, aged 92 years.

Mr. Buck was the only brother of Mrs. John Lewis, of this village, etc. . . . 3 Jun Hays - In the town of Buffalo, May 29th, 1876, of consumption, Mr. William M Hays, aged 26 years. The death of Mr. Hays deserves, we think, more than a passing notice at our hands, and hence submit the following. Etc. . . He died of consumption. The funeral services, conducted by Rev. Mr. Ross, of Kingston, were held in the M E Church in this town. Etc. 3 Jun Mills - In the town of Douglas, Wis., May 30th, 1876, of apoplexy, Phila Mills, wife of Timothy Mills, aged 73 years.

Yet her death was very sudden and unexpected by her friends. 12 Aug. Mr. Robert Reid, long a resident of Westfield, died on the 4th inst. His funeral was held on Friday at his late residence, and his burial was at Oxford. As thus one after another of the old settlers depart this life, we are reminded that we shall also soon pass over to that undiscovered country from whose bourned no traveler has ever returned. 12 Aug. Card of Thanks - To those good friends who rendered so many acts of kindness and assistance during the last illness and at the funeral of my late husband, I desire to return my most heartfelt thanks. May the blessings of God rest upon them. Especially do I desire to return thanks to the Masonic Brethren, for their untiring care and attention. From Mary A Maxwell. 12 Aug.

In 1867 he removed to Montello, and engaged in the mercantile business with his brother, C F Roskie, under the firm name of C F Roskie & Bro., in which connection he continued to the time of his death, proving himself at once a wide awake, energetic business man, a valuable citizen, and a kind friend and neighbor. 30 Sept Card of Thanks - The undersigned desire to return their heartfelt thanks to those many kind friends who rendered so much assistance during the illness of the late W F Roskie, and at the funeral.

While in the house he placed the can upon the table; Mrs. Stevenson's two little children soon found it and unperceived by their mother who was busily engaged about the household work, took off the top, carried it to the stove and begun to pour its contents upon the glowing coals. A terrible explosion followed. The windows were blown from the house, the doors were blown open, and the children were thrown violently across the room. Their little faces are horribly burned and badly swollen. The little girl, it is thought, will die; and the boy may recover. In any event they are badly disfigured and their sight is undoubtedly destroyed. Princeton Democrat. 23d. 4 Dec.
