A Victim of Bright's Disease

After a lingering illness covering a period of two years, Fred Bishop, one
of the most well known and high respected farmers east of the village
passed away Monday evening, March 16, of Bright's disease, at the age of 58
years, 9 months and 22 days.

Mr. Bishop was born in Oswego, New York state on June 22, 1854.  When a lad
of about 16 years he came to Winneconne, and a few years later settled on
the farm east of the village.  In 1878 he was united in marriage to Miss
Emma Hyde of Waukau and four sons were born to bless their house, three of
whom are living, Fred, Vernon and Ray.  In 1892 death visited the home and
the mother was borne away.  In 1909 he was married to Anna Gowiow of
Winchester, who, together with his sons and a host of friends and relatives
mourn his departure.

The funeral was held this afternoon at 1:00 from the house to the
Allenville cemetery.  Rev. Codd officiating.
