77 years, 5 months, and 20 days.

The deceased was born in Painsville, Ohio, May 27, 1823. In 1845 he was 
united in marriage to Rhoda I. Norton, of Chardon, Ohio. They emigrated to 
Wisconsin in 1854, and settled in Walworth Co., and three years later came 
to Augusta, where they have since resided. At the time of the rebellion he 
enlisted in the 5th Wis. Vol. Inf., was wounded at Petersburgh, spring of 
'65, and honorably mustered out of the service June 14, 1865. His wife and 
two sons, George and Austin, mourn the loss of a kind and loving husband.
