Foote breathed his last this morning about half past three o'clock at his home on Court street. Mr. Foote had been ill for some time with heart disease but not until a few days ago did any one suppose that he was in such a dangerous condition. The deceased was about thirty-six years of age and was the son of A.I. Foote, who resided in the town of Rushford. In 1875 he came to this city and entered the business college. Here he remained two years. In 1878 he formed a partnership with Mr. Woodford, now of Milwaukee, and together they operated the wakefield flour mill. Later the firm was merged into that of Foote Bros & Company. A few years ago Mr. Foote married Miss Francis Cleveland of Trempealeau. As a result of this union there is one child, a baby only eight months old. As a business man Mr. Foote stood high among his associates and was highly esteemed because of his honesty and ability. As an employer he was loved and honored by all. A man of sterling worth, he will be greatly missed by his friends and by the business men of the city.
