Death of J. Henry NORTH

There is probably no task more painful to perform than recording the
departure of old and respected citizens from our midst. Yet as a matter of
duty it often falls to our lot. Mr. NORTH had lived in Montello for the
past 24 years and was one of the first pioneer settlers of the county
having first settled in Crystal Lake in 1854. He was always a hard working,
industrious and careful man, and by his frugality had saved up enough to
keep him and his wife comfortably during their old age. He was a man who
had many friends.

John Henry NORTH was born in Grosskotten, Germany, January 13, 1816, and
died in Montello, Wisconsin on January 21, 1890. He was married to
Wilhelmina NITZ November 14, 1842. Emigrated to America in the spring of
1854, and settled in Crystal Lake, where he cleared up three farms. He
moved to Shields where he lived four years, serving two terms as town
assessor; then moved to Montello, July 6, 1866, where lived up to the time
of his death. He leaves a widow and three sons, one in Montello, one at
Neillsville, and one in Kansas to mourn his loss.
