Silas DUSSEAU aged 75 years was killed at 3:30 o'clock 
yesterday afternoon (May 31, 1939) when his horse became 
frightened and ran away.  Mr. DUSSEAU was thrown from the 
wagon, in which he had brought a load of corn to Deerfield, 
and landed on his head on the W. Kegan Street pavement.  He 
was taken to the office of Dr. MURAWA, but did not regain 
consciousness and lived only a few minutes.

Mr. DUSSEAU was born October 16, 1863 (conflicting report 
on date) at Erie, Mich.  and in 1902 moved to his farm two 
miles north-west of Deerfield, where he has since resided. 
 He was married Nov. 3, 1886 to Miss Matilda COUSINEAU 
(COUSINO) of Erie, who survives.

Besides the widow, who is seriously ill, he leaves four 
sons, Jasper and Emile of Deerfield, Walter and Alfred of 
Monroe, one daughter Mrs. Bernice KEMPF of Toledo, two 
brothers, James and Christian of Erie, one sister Mrs. 
Eliza COUSINO of Erie, 20 grandchildren and five great 
grandchildren.

The funeral will be held Saturday morning at 9:30 o'clock 
in St. Alphonsus Catholic Church and the burial will be in 
the parish cemetery.  The Rev. Fr. W. J. HAYDEN of Hudson 
will officiate.
