OBITUARY.

One by one the old settlers of Kenosha are
passing away, the pioneers who came here in
the early history of the town, and materially
helped to make it what it is-Oae Of the pref
test and most enterprising cities on the west
shore of the lake.
The last name on the gloomy catalogue is
that of Nathan R. Hawley, who died Of con-
sumption on the Both utt., and was buried on
the I'd. Mr.. Hawley was born in Vermont
Dec, 22d, 1903, making him at the time Of
his death about 70 years of age, He settled
in Kenosha, then Southport, in the year 184S.
He was o member of the firm of Francis g.
Hawley, in the clothing business, until 1852,
and for the following fifteen years was asso-
ciated with Mr.. Seth Doan, in the well-known
rm of Doan..& Hawley. In 1867 Mr.. Haw-
ley's health failed him, and, being obliged
to retire from active business, he sold out to
Mr.. Doan. Since then he has generally
spent the summer season in Kenosha and the
winter in Florida. Mr.. Hawley was apromi-
nent and very much respected citizen, known
to all to be an honest, conscientious man. He
always took an interest in all public enter
prises, and was for several years warden Of
st. Matthew's church. His funeral took
place from st. Matthew'S church on Sunday,
I'd, under the auspices :and direction Of the
Masonic order, of which he had been promi-
nent member. The coffin was of cedar, GOV
cred with black cloth and upholstered inside
with white gros grain silk. The floral trib.
utes were very beautiful, consisting of q
broken wreath, two crosses and pillow, all
of beautiful and choice flowers. He has had
four children, all of whom died and preceded
him to the better world. He leaves widow
in very comfortable circumstances. Mr..
Hawley has gone. He will be missed and
mourned. 1t will be long before his place will
be taken in the minds and hearts Of the Ke-
nosha people. The fullest and deepest SYM
pathy Is rendered to the bereaved widow and
he relatives of the deceased.

suffering with fever. CON-

the Cure and DR.. Pennoyer summoned. In
the morning he missed his money. The
certificates were found still in the pocket
book, which laid by his side on the bed.

hoped that they may succeed.
