Sawtell--Obituary

Mr. Elnathan Sawtelle who died early on the morning of June 16, 1891, and
who was buried from his residence on Church at 2:30 o'clock last Thursday
afternoon, Rev. Dr. Hodge, of Janesville, officiating, was 68 years of age.

Mr. Sawtell was a native of Ludlow, Vt., came West with his father, mother
and sister, Mrs. Green, and settled in the town of Union. About twenty-six
years ago (1865) Mr. Sawtell came to Evansville, bought the property where
Mr. Frank Emery now lives and built the fine residence on the corner of
East Main and Cemetery Streets. Mr. Ferris was the owner of the premises.
The only building was a log house originally owned and occupied by Rev.
Boyd Phelps.

The members of Mr. Sawtelle's family are all dead excepting one sister
here--Mrs. E. F. Green, and another in California. A niece--Mrs. Beebe, of
West Superior, and another one, Mrs. I. M. Bennett, of Chicago, were
present at the funeral.

Mr. Sawtelle was not a member of the Baptist church, as many were led to
suppose. (A thing which he deeply regretted in his later life) but was a
member of the Baptist society and congregation. He led a good life and was
no doubt, a Christian man both in heart and conduct.

He leaves a widowed wife and many friends to mourn his departure.
