Neenah, Wis.  Dec. 24-- Mr. Joseph Sanford of Menasha aged eighty-four
years, died this morning of general debility, after several years of
illness. He was born on May 20, 1823 in New York and came to Menasha more

which is now the largest of its kind in the world. After selling out his
interest, he engaged in the plaining mill business for a number of years,
after which he retired. He was loved and respected by all who knew him.
Surviving is one daughter, Mrs. W. R. Williams of Menasha. The funeral will
be held from the late home at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon. Rev. A. E.
