Thomas Weir-Obituary.

The subject of this short sketch was born
in Tyrone County. Ireland, in 1921. He
emigrated to Wisconsin 10 1870, and . few
years later was married to Miss Jane Walker
and settled on Grant River in what is now
known as the Dyer Settlement in the north
part of town. He was successful farmer
and soon became identified with all the pro.
gressive movements Of the town and village.
Being prospered, he desired larger farm,
and sold his home, buying wild land on what
IS now known as Liberty Ridge in the town
OF Liberty, four miles northeast Of this city.
There he had succeeded in developing one Of
the finest farms in the town, with excellent
dwellings and other farm buildings-il feet,
everything to make desirable hcme-when
he was called away. Mr.. Weir had great
business tact and firmness, united with mild
and genial disposition. He was q generous
and kind hearted gentleman, an excellent
neighbor and a noble citizen. He was pre-
eminently Christian, caring little for the
theoretical but illustrating the practical beau
ties BY his life. No denomiLatlonal harness
could hold him. A wife and FIVE children
survive him. The funeral, which took place
February i4th, was one Of the largest for
many years outside Of the village. A special
train on the Chicago & Tomah railroad took
. large delegation of Odd Fellows and citizens
from the city.
Thomas Weir was a member at the time OF
his death of Miss Valley Lodge No. So, l. o.
.. +. He was initiated into the Order on
Jan. 80. 1856, at the age of SS years. He has
held numerous offices in said Lodge, among
them that of Vice Grand. He has ever been
a consistent member Of the order. practicine
&C all times the tenets of the order, /" Friend,
ship, Love and Truth" By his death the order
loses one Of its best MEMBERS and the commu
nifty one of its best citizens.
He was also holding membership in the
Wisconsin Odd Fellows Insurance Company
in Glass "a" and policy of 81 900 is secured
to his family. He was buried, at his request
with the honors and rites of the order

+ro make the total in 1876, special town tax of
$500 is included and ia 1878 the railroad tau Of
/ 81, 900.
These figures do not include the District
school taxes.
The rate Of state, county and town tax in
decimals, in 1876, was $oOO631s; in 1876,
80. 0OS6s7; in 1877, $O.OOsso2; in 1878,
$o.00S0SO. The rate on school district tax
was $0.oIl2s7in 1875; $0.0ll379 in 1876 !;
30 OOsos9 in 1877, and S0.007544 in 1878.
Making the total rate of taxation in 1875.
$o0l760s; in 1875, $u.O2007s; in 1877,
$O.Ol459l, and in 1878, $0o15624.
II will be observed that the rate for 1878 is
a small fraction over one mill higher than in
1871 and nearly half mill less than in 1876.
The decimals for school district taxes are for
District No Shat in which the city is situ-
ated. Tae average rate of school district
taxes outside of the city for 1878 was
| so .o0S65-making the total rate in those lim-
its, s00Oll73.
These figures will show the tax payer what
triflng sum he paid this year for the rail-
road luxury so highly enjoyed now for one and
| half months.
