Obituary: Adams County, Wisconsin: Julia M. STOWELL ************************************************************************ Submitted by Joan Benner, May 2005 © All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm ************************************************************************ From the Adams County Press, Saturday Dec 16, 1893, Page 4 Died--STOWELL--In Friendship, Dec 9th, Mrs. Julia M. STOWELL, aged 65 years, 3 months. Of the early history of the now deceased woman we know but little. Dec 28, 1853 she was married to and came here the second wife of the late Sylvester STOWELL, and it was an observable fact that none of her blood gathered around her bier, or ministered to her during her last illness. Her husband's children by his first wife, and the kind hearts and hands of sympathetic neighbors performed all that human sympathy could prompt to alleviate her condition, and give her the burial a generous civilization demands. Mrs. STOWELL was a staunch and devoted church-woman, but she was so unfortunately constituted that she more often repelled than won the sympathy that her years of loneliness should have drawn to her. She was the mother of two children, one of whom died in infancy and the other, a little lad of five or six years, was drowned in the mill-pond at White Creek. The deceased was born at Malone, New York, September 10, 1828, her maiden name being Julia M. HATCH.
