The deceased settled in Grafton as a carpenter and joiner in the year 1843 and was married one year later to Mrs. HARVEY, a widow and niece of the late John WILLETT of Mequon with whom she resided and whom the few old remaining settlers there will remember; she died some six years ago. Of the three children from this marriage, but one remains, Mr. William COULSON, who was born at Grafton and lives there now. The deceased was a good citizen and well liked by all his neighbors. The funeral will take place to-morrow at 1 o'clock P.M. from his late residence. Thus one after another of the old settlers that have seen and went through all the hardships incident to an early settlement of a wilderness, passes away from us. May he rest in peace.
