Obituary 
Death of Mrs. Elizabeth Yates 
Mother-in-Law of Mr. David Lawton of this City. 
Death of Mr. John Klein -His Funeral Largely Attended by 
the L.O.O.F.

During the last, week the deaths have been mainly among 
the older people. On Tuesday evening the 21st, Mrs. 
Elizabeth Yates departed this life at the residence of 
her son, James Yates, at the old family residence in 
Windsor, town of Yorkville, in this county. She passed 
away, peacefully, as she had lived, strictly adhering to 
the creed of the Episcopal church, and faithfully 
administering her home duties while her numerous family 
needed her care, and since they have scattered and formed 
for themselves homes of their own, she has devoted her 
time to the care of the sick in the homes of her children 
and others, and died respected by all who knew her. 
Mrs. Yates was born in Manchester, England, in the year 
1804, making her seventy one years and five months old at 
the time of her death. The family came to this country in 
1844, and settled on the farm now owned by her son, James 
Yates, at Windsor. The father died some years since, and 
is buried south of Kellogg's Corners, but will be removed 
to sleep beside his companion, who was interred in Mound 
Cemetery last Friday. Mrs. Y.  had reared a family of 
nine children, eight of whom are living one in St. Croix, 
in this State, and the rest all in this county. The Rev. 
Mr. Hall, of Racine College, administered the rites, and 
performed the church services at the funeral.

MR. JOHN KLEIN,
This is another death among the old settlers of 
Wisconsin, he having come to this country from Germany in 
1844, Mr. Klein was well known and respected among our 
German, and citizens of other nationalities. Mr. K. had 
been sick for some time, and died on Monday evening the 
20th.  He was buried on Thursday, under the auspices of 
the Order of Odd Fellows, of which he was a worthy 
member, as was evinced by the Order attending in a body 
with regalis.
Large numbers of citizens in carriages joined the funeral 
procession, not withstanding the bad state of the 
weather. The family wish to return their thanks to the 
Order of Odd Fellows, and other kind friends.
