Obituary of Janet (CAMERON) DALZIEL, Feb. 16, 1898 Contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives November 2, 2000 by Carleen Brown < carleenb@home.com > *********************************************************************** Surnames: Cameron, Dalziel, St Peter Source: Kewaunee Enterprise, February 18, 1898 Death of an Old Settler Mrs. Janet Dalziel, one of the pioneer settlers of this place, died of Bright's disease on Wednesday, Feb. 16, 1898, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Janet St. Peter, of West Kewaunee, after an illness of several years. Mrs. Dalziel was a native of Scotland and was born near Edinburg, that country, in the year 1822. She emigrated to this country with her husband about the year 1856, coming across the ocean in a sail vessel which upon its arrival here was wrecked in the mouth of the St. Lawrence river. The passengers on the ship were landed safely on an island near by where Mr. and Mrs. Dalziel were obliged to remain for several days before being transferred to the main land. Shortly after they arrived to this country Mr. and Mrs. Dalziel came to this county where the subject of this notice has resided ever since. Her husband, Robert Dalziel, was a prominent character here in an early day and at the breaking out of the civil war went to the front to defend his adopted country. He died in the army Oct. 2, 1863, leaving his wife to support herself and children on a farm which was in that early day but little improved. Being of sturdy Scotch descent, however, she soon made a comfortable home for herself and children and acquired a sufficient amount of this world's goods to enjoy a life of ease and contentment. She was the mother of four children, only one of whom, Mrs. Janet St. Peter, survives her. The funeral takes place from the Union church at 2 o'clock this afternoon. *********************************************************************** USGENWEB ARCHIVES NOTICE: These electronic pages may NOT be reproduced in any format for profit or presentation.
