Mower County transcript. [volume] (Lansing, Minn.) 1868-1915, 1884-05-21

"A very pleasant company Of invited
guests took possession of the Windsor
House parlors last Wednesday evening, to
witness the marriage ceremony of Henry
D. Greenfield to Miss Clara A. Stacey,
both Of Oswego county, New York. Mr..
Greenfield came to Austin some two
or three months ago with Mr.. G. Sam
mons, who purchased the Harris farm
near Brownsville, and he is to take
charge of the farm. He is a young man
of excellent habits and scholarly attain
ments, and we extend to all such most
cordial welcome to home in Mower
county. The bride, Miss Stacey, arrived
in our city about two weeks ago. giving
up her eastern home and friends for
home in the west. She is very highly
spoken of, and during her short stay in
our city has made many friends. The
wedding ceremony was performed by Rev.
G. E. Wright. The wedding supper was
served on short notice by ''mine host" of
the Windsor House, all present doing
ample justice to the same. Mr.. and Mrs.
Greenfield are now settled in their new
home, and we wish:for them both many
years of uninterrupted joy.
The silent reaper has invaded another
household, and in spite of the best medi-
cal skill and the most constant loving
care, William Fish, whom 50 many in
Austin have been glad to call friend, has
been laid away to rest. He passed be-
yond this life of suffering last Saturday
morning, and was buried from his fathers
residence on Nicollet Avenue, Mime
apolis, Sunday afternoon. Mr.. Fish was
a man young in years, brilliant in intel
lect, cultured in the modern ethics of
the day. graduate of Niddlebury (Vt.)
college, of genial kindly ways, courteous
and hospitable, and above and more to
be desired than all else, a Christian gentle
man. He came to Minnesota about four
years ago this spring, remaining in Aus
tin through the summer. He came here
in poor health, and with him his lovely
and devoted wife and infant daughter.
Since then his life has been a constant
and continued struggle against disease,
but friends have seen and realized that
at the longest few months would tell
the story. It will be remembered that
Mrs. Fish died few weeks since of heart
disease at Miles City, Montana. The lit
tie orphaned daughter will probably go
to live with Mrs. Barnum, of Van,
Turkey, who is now in this country, and
the only surviving sister of her mother.
William was brother of George Fish Jr,
Of this city, and son of George Fish Of
Minneapolis. By this death George is
left the only child. p.
