Obituary - In Clyman, Dodge county, on the 1st of Oct. inst., Gershown
Noyes, aged 86 years.  The deceased was a soldier of the Revolution, and
Orderly Sergeant of the Rangers at Fors Ticonderoga and Independence, in
the Vermont State Tropps, for a part of which service he drew a pension.
He was born in Stonington, Conn., July 8th, 1764; thence moved to Guilford,
Vermont, and enlisted in the service in 1781; from thence moved to
Chenango, New York in 1805.  He lived with the companion of his youth,
upwards of 50 years, and raised a family of nine children to mature age,
and saw the third generation; soon after her death, he moved to Wisconsin
in 1847.  Thus another who struggled for the birth of our nation, and lived
long to see its prosperity and enjoy its freedom, has gone to his rest.
