                           Fitz James Trowbridge

Fitz James Trowbridge, whose critical illness was reported a few weeks ago,
died last Monday night, April 4th, 1904, at seven o'clock.  He has been ill
most of the winter and his death has been expected for several days.

Mr. Trowbridge was born in Hinsdale, N.Y., February 6, 1822, and had reached
the age of eighty-two.  He was the fourth of a family of seven, four sons and
three daughters.  Two of these, Edwin of Sheboygan Falls and Mrs. C.H.
Marshall of New York, survive him.   At the age of twenty-one he left the
old home for the state of Ohio, where he resided for about three years,
removing thence to Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin.  Here he was married
October 5, 1845 to Charlotte Andrews, and to them nine children have been
born.

He has lived in Mitchell county for some time, and has been a good citizen
of this vicinity.  Mr. Trowbridge was a man of strong will to command his
powers of body and of mind, and the manifestations thereof accompanied his
life to the very close.  The deceased had been suffering for the past year
and a half but has not been seriously ill until this winter.

The funeral services were held at the home yesterday afternoon at 1:30
o'clock, conducted by Rev. Ralph, assisted by Rev. Coon, and the body was
laid to rest in the village cemetery.
