Waukesha Plaindealer September 18, 1866

Died

In this village, on the morning of the 16th inst., of
Consumption, George Eugene Slawson, aged 21 years 7 months
and 11 days.  The funeral services will be held at his
father's residence, on Wisconsin street, to-day at 1
o'clock.

Eugene, as he was familiarly called, was a very promising,
talented young man, the pride and favorite of doting
parents.  He had no enemies and all who knew him respected
and admired his noble qualities, both of head and heart.
For the last six or eight years he had been unable to do
much manual labor.  He was a printer by trade, and often
assisted a day or town at a time, in this office.  He was
also a capital penman and at times, rendered us valuable
assistance in that line- in short we looked upon him as one
of our family, who was ever ready to render assistance when
called upon, and shall over mourn his loss as a near and
dear friend.
