Mr.. PIENKowsKY died at his residence. on
Monday, Dec. 14th, 1868, at Bristol, Kenosha
Co., Wis.,. aged 66 years and 16 days.
The deceased has been resident for IS
years of Kenosha Co. He was one of the pr
oneers ofthis county and was subject to many
of the trials and conflicts of q new country
He was native of Poland. When his native
land was oppressed by the despotism of Rus
STA, and in one of the many vain attempts
that unhappy land had to shake on the
tyrant yoke, the deceased took part. He en-
tered the army with three of his brothe RS, two
of them fell in one Of the bloody struggles
and the other was missing, supposed to be
killed; he found not the land of freedom for
which he sighed but was borne an exile, in
1882, to America. where he found what despots
would not grant.
About twenty years ago he protested
change of heart and united with the Baptist
Church; for tw Give years he has held the Office
of deacon. His religion did not simply con-
sist in profession but the daily conscientious
life testified to its reality. He, like his divine
Master, sought to rule his household in love,
and conquer his enemies, if there were any
such, by the same remedy. He sought to
bring up his children in the nurture and ad
monltion Of the Lord" by setting good ex-
ample before them, and leading them with
the hand of love in the way of life. He has
now gone to his eternal home, reckoning the
wife of his bosom and eight children to follow
Christ, and find their home with him in the
heavenly land.
He was confined to his bed about two weeks
before he died, and from the very commence
ment expressed his conviction that he would
not recover. He had no fears of the future
| for he knew whom he had believed. When
the summons came, he committed his spirit
into the arms of his Redeemer without d
struggle. gf
He was a devoted husband, devoted faith
err, and a devoted christian.
