John G. PEUSCHEL, a substantial farmer in the Town of Mequon died at his home after a brief illness, although he had been suffering for years of a complication of diseases that must have sometimes made life a burden to him. The deceased came to this neighborhood as business manager of the Columbia Mills in this town, some 35 years ago and settled afterwards on the farm about 3 miles southwest of Cedarburg. After the Cedarburg Mutual Fire Insurance Company was started, he became one of the most active agents, who notwithstanding his often painful attacks of sickness, was looking after the interests of the Company, and we were told that only a few days before his death, he was near the lake shore in Mequon effecting some insurance, so that it might be said of him that he died in the "harness". Mr. PEUSCHEL was a man of good education and kept himself well informed of all that was passing in the country; he leaves a widow and five grown up children and was in the 69th year of his age.
