                         Death of Arthur Penney

The death of Mr. Arthur Penney, of Stacyville, last Saturday morning
takes away one of the oldest and most respected citizens of that community.

He was a son of William and Elizabeth Penney, and born at Dorsetshire,
England, one of a family of fourteen children.  At the age of twenty-one
he came with his parents to Wisconsin, and in 1858 they moved to this
county.  He had reached the advanced age of seventy-two years, being the
oldest of the living members of his father's family.  There are six
brothers and one sister left, the later being Mrs. Stover of this
city.  John and Henry, two of the brothers, also live here, the other
about Stacyville.

He leaves a wife and seven children besides a large circle of other
relatives and friends.  He was a man of upright life and a member of
the M. E. church.  The funeral services were held on Sunday from the
M. E. church of Stacyville and conducted by Rev. H. S. Bargeit.

(Jan. 17, 1895.)
