COUNTY SURVEYOR so YEARS
Old Pioneer Had Been in Feeble Health
for Many Months and His Death was
Not Unexpected Prominent in AT
fairs Of the City and County.

Jason Lothrop, one of the earliest
pioneer residents of southern Wiscon
sin and for more than fifty years coun.
lty surveyor of Kenosha county, died al
the home of his son, G. s. Lothrop, at
lSpooner, ON Sunday morning at the
age of 90 years. Mr.. Lothrop had been
in feeble health for many months and
some time ago he went with his son
to inc northern part of the state to
spend the winter.
The passing of Jason Lothrop marks
the passing of man who was active
lily connected with this section Of the
state for more than sixty years. Mr.
Lothrop was son of the late Jason
L0throp, who came to Kenosha in 1885
as a member of one of the first parties
of settlers.
Mr.. Lothrop was born in Herkime1
lcounty, N. Y, Jan. Is, 1920. He was
Educated in the schools of Oswego, N
Y, and later studied civil engineering
in night school He came to Southport
now Kenosha, in 1843, and for mum.
Der of years was engaged in contract
ing. He was concerned in many Of the
enterprises Of pioneer days. He built
the first side-wheeI dredge to be used
on Lake Michigan, he laid out the city
of Muskegon, Mch., he was in charge
Eof the building of the locks on the Fox
river at Lake Winnebago. Nearly go
years ago he was first elected county
surveyor of Kenosha county and he
held this office almost continuously for
fifty years. He retired from the Office
only when forced to give up the work
on account of failing health.
/ The interest of Mr.. Lothrop in many
enterprises won him a competency early
in life.
In 1912 Mr.. Lothrop was married to
Miss Jane Burnside, who died in 1885.
Charles S. Lothrop, now living at
Spooner, is the sole surviving child
One of the daughters of Mr. .Lothrop,
Miss Susie Lothrop, was a teacher in
the schools Of Kenosha for several
years. She died in 1878 and during the
latter years Of his life Mr.. Lothrop
placed an organ in the Henry M. Sim
mons church as memorial to her. Mr..
Lothrop is survived by one sister, Mrs
Susan Burr, of Kenosha.
| Few men who had lived in Kenosha
took so great an interest in the histori-
cal events in the county and this Sec
| tion of the state. Mr.. Lothrop had a
wonderful memory for details and his
stories Of the early life in Wisconsin
were stories Of compelling interest.
