JOHN WALTERS.
| This venerable citizen of South
west Wisconsin went down into the
dark valley on Thursday, the 10Th
inst, at the home of his neice, Mrs.
John Nancolas, with whom he has
resided for the past year.
He had nearly completed 81 years
of life. In early manhood he emil
grated from England to America.
For about 30 years, until years ago,
his home had been at Beetown,
Grant county. Being without child
ren, he and his aged wife decided
three years ago to remove to Mineral
Point, that they might be among rel
atives in their last days. While
here they have been domiciled al
ternately with their nephew, G. II.
Terrill, and their neices, Mrs. j. b.
Prideaux and Mrs. John Nancolas.
The weight of years, and sorrow for
his life partner, who died a few
months ago, were visibly pressing
the old man towards his long home,
to which he looked with perfect con-
fidence of future happiness. His
former neighbors speak of him as a
worthy, honorable citizen through
his active life, which bore the legiti-
mate fruit of placid, cheerful old
age. An adopted son, Charles Wal
tiers, was present from the far west,
much to the comfort Of the deceased
in his last days. The funeral, with
services at the M. +. church, con-
Quoted by Rev. II. w. Straw, took
place on Saturday, and burial in
Graceland cemetery.

The sudden death oil this estima-
bic woman on Sunday morning be-
tween II and o'clock, after but three

to her large circle of relatives and
friends. Up TO the Wednesday pre-

health, with promise of many years
of life. Some acute disease of the
stomach seized her, and despite the
best efforts of physicians she rapidly
grew worse, finally on Saturday pass
