Demouth, John (15 Apr 1868 - 14 Oct 1913)

John Demouth died at San Jose County Hospital Oct. 14, 1913.  Deceased was born at Hayton, Calumet County, April 15, 1868, moved to Neillsville with his parents in 1871, where he grew to manhood and was married to Miss Lillie Barber in 1892.  In the year 1903 he moved with his family to Morgan Hill, Cal., where they settled on a fruit ranch.  He has been an invalid for four years.

He leaves to mourn his death his wife and three small children who still reside at Morgan Hill.  He also leaves an aged mother and one sister, Mrs. Lottie Nutting, who reside here, and one brother, Samuel, of Belfield, N.D.  He will be remembered by many here as he attended school at Neillsville several terms when in his teens.  He was a man beloved by all who knew him and always made friends wherever he went.  He joined the M.E. Church when a boy and was always a faithful member, leading an honorable and upright life.  Though storms of adversity closed about him, yet his trust was ever in his God.

Our sympathy is extended to his invalid wife and helpless children, left in destitute circumstances.
