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.
