Death Notice -

 We have the particulars of one of the most shocking accidents that
has been our duty to record in a long time. On Saturday morning last,
Mr. G. F. Felton went into the lower part of Monroe's mill to attach a
belt to the main shaft, and is soposed that his clothing got caught on
the shaft, which carried him around until his body was literally torn
into shreds - an unrecognizable mass of flesh and rags. He was a
carpenter by trade and a steady industrious man. He leaves a wife in a
poor state of health and three children in destitute circumstances.

PASSING AWAY - We learn with deep regret, that another old resident of
this city has been called to her final home. Mrs. George Smith departed this life on Wednesday morning, the 14th after a lingering illness. She leaves a husband and four children to mourn her loss.
Mrs. Smith was one of the oldest residents, having passed her girlhood
here. She was a sister of Messrs. Thos. Millidge and Wm. Brunquest and
also of Mrs. Adams, and daughter of Mrs. Bernard, all of this city. Our
citizens will remember that she lost a sister - Mrs. Lawrance of Eureka
Wis.- during the past winter.
Thus one by one the friends or our early childhood are passing away, to
that other and brighter world beyond the grave, where all is joy and
love and peace. Death does not enter there. 
The family have the warmest sympathies of this community, in this their
deep bereavement.

BOY DROWNED.- On Thursday afternoon as two little boys, Eddie Royce,
adopted son of Mr. H. M. Royce, and Eddie Simons, son of Mr. Chauncy
Simmons of this city, both about 4 years of age, were playing on Hart's
dock, at the foot of Section Street, throwing sticks into the water when
Eddie Simmons slipped from an opening in the dock into the river
beneath. There being no one in the vicinity who witnessed the
catastrophe, the boy was drowned. The sad affair was not made known
until master Eddie Royce went home to supper, when he told his father
about the little boy falling in the water. Search was immediately made
for the body, and the dragging of the bottom of the river was continued
up to a late hour of the night, without success. The search is still
going on as we go to press.
The mother is nearly distracted over her sad loss. She has the warmest
sympathies of her friends in her grief.

DROWNED.- Jerry Carboy (Carbioux, Corboy), of this city, in the employ of George Lynes
while driving logs, on the 4th inst. fell into the Oconto River, at

while playing in the yard or their residence on Collins St., fell into a
ditch filled with water from the heavy rains, and was drowned. It is
supposed that the child had been in the water an hour or more before it
was found.

Shocking Accident
The Marinette Eagle says that Mr. H. M. Ingallsbee, of Menominee, came
to his death last Friday evening in a very sudden and terrible manner.
It appears that he was unloading cedar posts from a wagon at Bird's
dock. A spirited team was attached to the wagon, which became frightened
from some cause and startled suddenly. Mr. Ingallsbee either was thrown
from the wagon, or in attempting to get off, he fell under the wheels,
which being in rapid movement passed over him. He was struck in the
region of the stomach, and the heavy load of cedar posts crushed him. He
was picked up immediately, but only groaned once or twice and expired.
He leaves two children to mourn their sudden and sad bereavement.

OBITUARY.- 

Mr. J. A. Henderson, formerly a printer in this office, and well known
in this community by many of our citizens, died at Ishpeming, Michigan,
last week. The following notice we clip from the Iron Home which is a
well-merited tribute of his life.

It becomes our sad duty to record the untimely death of J. A. Henderson,
for a year past, foreman in the job department of the Iron Home office.
Mr. Henderson came among us about a year ago from Oconto, where he had
resided, working in the Reporter office in that place. Prior to residing
in Oconto he was a soldier in the late war, a Captain in some
Pennsylvania Regiment.  He passed through the ordeal of a soldiers life,
and was honorably discharged at the close of the war and came west, and
has resided in Wisconsin and Lake superior ever since. He was a man of
more than ordinary ability, and one of the best of his profession- a
printer. We never had a better or faithful man in our employ, and to our
mind he had only one fault - a fault to prevalent among the people of
the present day. But for all that, we could overlook all his faults, for
we always found him a gentleman in every respect, even in his worst
moments. But like many others who were addicted to the flowing bowl, he
has passed away from among us - gone to that bourn from whence no
traveler returns. Through dying suddenly, and all alone by himself, he
appeared to have gone to sleep - his last sleep from which there is no
waking - though there were hosts of sympathizing friends near by who
would have closed his eyes in death had they known he was so near his
end - but it was ordered otherwise.

He was sick but a few days at the Commercial Hotel, but during that time
Mr. And Mrs. Newett did all that human hands could do for him, supplying
his every want, but all to no avail. To them can truthfully be said he
was a stranger in a strange land, with no relatives or near friends, and
they took him in and comforted his last days. Verily, they will have
their reward, for such generosity will not go unrewarded.

On Sunday last, at 3:00 p.m., the time appointed for his funeral, the
printers of our city took charge of his burial, and with hosts of
sympathizing friends he was carried to his last resting place. Short but
appropriate services were held at the hotel by the Rev. A. J. Richards,
of the Methodist Church, who spoke in a feeling matter of the kindest
shown by all present to give the dead a Christian Burial, though he may
have erred in his life to a certain extent. We are all liable to err,
and to err is human. Then rest kind friend, thy labors are ended, and we
drop a tear on thy lonely grave. 

Man Drowned.

Mr. James A Glynn, of the town of Oconto, writes us that on the evening
of the 7th inst. At about half past five p.m., Richard Mairs, a man
boarding at John Doyle's hotel, Little River in that town, was drowned.
He slipped off some logs, and before any assistance could reach him, he
went down; after a search of about a half an hour, the body was found,
life being extended. Mr. Boyle took the body in charge, and had it
interned on Tuesday in the burying ground. Richard Mairs, belonged to
New York City, has worked about 2 years on this river, he was quite,
sober, unassuming man and unmarried.

Sad Accident

We see by the Marinette Eagle, that last week Thursday, Mr. Oscar
Mislitz, Menominee, went on into the third story of the new Court House
structure that is being erected there, and while leaning against a slat
nailed across one of the windows apertures, the slat suddenly gave way
and he was precipitated to the earth, a distance of about forty feet. He
was taken home and properly cared for, but his life is despaired of. 
His head and face were badly cut by striking on the pieces of stone that
are strewn thickly around the building, and it is supposed that he has
received, also severe internal injuries. Mr. Mislitz was an industrious,
active man, and a good citizen Himself and family have the warmest
sympathies of the community.

DIED.- In the town of Oconto, on the 28th day of August, Jacob B.
Whiting, aged 67 years.

IN MEMORIAM,
Died at his residence at Little Suamico, Aug. 28th 1875, W. Erving Searle aged 30 years.
A large concourse of people gathered last Sunday morning to pay last
tribute of respect and deposit in the grave all that remained to them of
the good citizen, the honest man. Our hearts went out in tend rest
sympathy, as the insuppressible moans of anguish of his heart broken and
youthful widow fell upon our ears, and we felt how impossible it was for
language to bring any relief.  His aged parents almost tottering on the
brink of the grave, with speechless sorrow, witnessing the burial of
long cherished hopes; and all that sorrowing hand who mourned an
affectionate husband, a dutiful son, a kind neighbor and sincere friend.
Each and everyone felt the loss and how hard it would be to supply his
place.

Mr. Searle came to this town in early childhood and has grown up and
attained, by the exercise of virtues of a good manhood citizen, the full
confidence of all. His enterprise and diligence in his private affairs
did not make him unmindful of the public good. This town is largely
indebted to him for the inauguration of a system of permanently good
roads for a higher standard of education in our schools, and numerous
other benefits. As the chairman of board of supervisors, he felt the
responsibility's of his position and discharged all the duties of that
office as of other offices before held by him, unmindful of any selfish
considerations and with an eye single to the public welfare.
Our tears and sympathies are for the bereaved circle of near and dear
relatives and as friends and neighbors for our great loss.

But the glorious sun, as it is beautiful the day, was to us the glorious
emblem of the resurrection. We felt the full assurance that it was only
the earthly remains of our friend that we buried from our sight. That
his earthly labors were finished and in his brief career he had won the
reward of the faithful servant, and where there are no more tears or
sorrows, or suffering or night or death, he would have us rejoice him,
while we mourned our loss. Our loss was his eternal gain.

Death truly loves a shinning mark, but dear friends let us emulate the
example of our deceased friend, and when we shall experience that great
change from time to eternity, we likewise may enter rest of faithful
servants and feel that in the patient faithful discharge of the duties
of each coming day, we have striven to do our Fathers will, and that our
mite of influence will be increased as it shall pass on the stream of
time, and we united with the generations of the past, shall behold from
heavenly spheres the plan of the great architect and receive full
knowledge of the truth now hidden from us. 

IN MEMORIAM.

Again the angel of Death has spread his dark wings over the home of our
esteemed citizens. Dr. J. M. Adams is no more. Suddenly and for aught we
know, without warning, or premonition, his soul took its flight to that
undiscovered bourne whither each of us will follow him, only too soon.
Dr Adams came to Oconto in 1865, and more or less has been actively
engaged in the practice of his profession, even to the time of his
decease. His gentle matters, kindly sympathy and rare ability as a
physician have drawn him very near to the hearts of those who have
required his services and they will lose in him a friend in the time of
suffering indeed difficult to replace.

Dr. Adams was a self made man. His early life was one of toil and
arduous preparation for a professional career, He taught school to earn
the means of attending a high institution where he could better fit
himself for a profession.  He was born at Casleton, Rushland County
Vermont, May 4th 1834, and came to Wisconsin in 1852 and first settled
at Green Bish, Sheboygan County. He afterwards attended Lawrence
University at Appleton. He first studied the law and at one time was
District Attorney of Calumet County, practicing at Chilton. Holding his
office in the same room with a physician, he, in time discovered that
his tastes and inclinations were for that profession and not the law. By
close attention and untiring devotion to the study of medicine he
finally graduated at Rush Medical College, Illinois, and commenced
practice as a physician at Depere, from which place he came to Oconto.
In 1870 he represented Oconto and Shawano Counties, in the State
legislature as a Member of Assembly. He died last Tuesday Oct. 19th, and
was followed to the grave on Wednesday afternoon by the largest
concourse ever seen in Oconto, conspicuous, of which he was a member.
His bereaved family has the sincere sympathy of all in their profound
affliction.
 

SUDDEN DEATH.- We learn that a young lady named Katie Doyle who resided
with Wm. Luby and who was for a long time sufferer from Consumption,
arose on Monday morning last, but soon became fatigued. She returned to
her bed and almost immediately expired. "In the midst of life we are in
death".
