Algernon Sartoris is very near his end
somewhere in France, from delrium
tremens. He owns much land in this state,
especially about Green Bay, and some in
this county. At one time the land on the
south side of Cedar lake was his.
He will be best remembered as the En-
glishmah who married Nellie Grant. Not
long before the wedding Sartoris stopped at
the Beekmau here some weeks. The writer
sat at his left at the table. Taking him all
in all, he was the blacklist sheep we ever
met.
The Sartorises were an old English fam
lily and very wealthy. Algernon's father
came TO America and married an American
actress, taking her back to England. There
were two boys, Algernon being the younger
and wild. He was furnished plenty of
money, and bought much Wisconsin land.
While he was here the elder boy was killed
in England by being thrown from horse,
and the younger went back to England
taking Nellie Grant as his wife.
The family home was one of the most
beautiful in England, it is said. Algeron
proved anything but good husband, but
the family did all they could for Nellie and
the two or three children. For several years
he has been home but very little.
