DEATH AT WINNECONNE

Old Settler and Old Soldier Expires There

(Special to the Northwestern)

Winneconne, Wis., Sept 27  --  John Alyea of this village, one of the
oldest and most esteemed residents of Winnebago county, died Thursday night
about eleven o'clock of general debility.  He was eighty-four years of age
and was one of the pioneer settlers, who took up their residence in this
county when the wilderness and the Indians occupied most of the territory. 
He was a prominent member of the G.A.R., having served in the Twenty-first
Wisconsin Infantry as a member of Company B. Deceased came to Wisconsin in
the fall of 1849 and settled in Winnebago county about two miles west of
Winneconne.  He enlisted in the volunteer army, Aug 14, 1862, and received
honorable discharge and was mustered out July 2, 1865, at the close of the
war.  He was at one time captured by the rebels and placed in Libbey and
Bell prisons.  Ohio was his native home, and he was born not far from
Cincinnati.  A wife and eight children survive.  The children residing in
Winneconne are Mrs. Cartwright, Mrs. Davis, Frank Alyea and George Alyea.

The funeral of Mr. John Alyea was held in the Baptist church last Sunday
afternoon.  It was one of the largest funerals held here for some time.
There was a mistake in regard to his war record.  The following one is the
correct one:  Mr. John Alyea enlisted August 14, 1862 in company B twenty-
first Wisconsin, but was transferred before being mustered in, to company F
the same regiment.

John M. Alyea was married to Hannah Lumley on 12 April 1848 in Valparaiso, 
Porter Co, IN.

John Alyea is buried in the Winneconne Cemetery
