After the close of the war he came to Wisconsin and spent the remainder of his life around Clark County, Wis. On Nov. 13, 1880 he was united in marriage to Mrs. Mary Pounder of Greenwood, she preceded him in death twenty years ago last April. He worked for years in the logging camps about here and has literally waded every foot of Black River from Withee to Black River Falls in the log drives. The past twenty years of his life were spent in enfeebled health and though he has never known sickness he has been unable to do much work, but gradually yielded to advanced years until death finally overtook him Oct. 2nd, 1922, at the ripe old age of 96 years, 5 months and 19 days. |
