Amos IVES

Surnames:  IVES, CLARK

Died suddenly, at his home near Delavan, Wednesday, Oct. 7,
(1896), Amos IVES, aged nearly 73 years.

Amos IVES was born in Wyoming County, NY, Dec 5, 1823.
He came west in 1843 and took up his residence in Darien
township.  At the expiration of four years he returned and
carried on business in Pennsylvania for 3 years.  In 1851 he
again came to Wisconsin and settled in Richmond township
where he successfully engaged in farming ever since.  April 1,
1876, he was married to Mrs. A.D. CLARK, who survives him.
Mr. IVES also leaves to mourn him, four sons by a former
marriage; Clinton P., Leamon J., John W. and Amos Riley.

Mr. IVES was always closely allied with the best interests of the
community in which he lived, was chairman of the board of
supervisors for 2 terms and filled acceptably the office of school
treasurer for 27 years.  Socially, he was connected with the 
Olive Branch Lodge, I.O.O.F. of Delavan where he was always
esteemed for his splendid traits of character and rare good
fellowship.  He was very firm in his convictions, and even those
who could not agree with him were constrained to admire his
firmness of character.  The funeral was held at Episcopal Church,
Saturday P.M., at 2 o'clock and the services conducted by Rev.
Chas. Mallory.  A large concourse of friends, neighbors and
members of I.O.O.F. gathered to pay loving tribute to their
deceased friend.
