He was married in 1837 to Julia Ebert, whose death occurred march 10, 1891. In 1867 he came to the U. S. With his family and since that time, with the exception of his last declining years, he has done carpenter work. He passed away Wednesday morning, at eight o’clock, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. F. E. Marcoe, 100 East Second St., Fond du Lac, at the age of 83 years. Mr. roy is survived by seven children: Legary E. Mrs. L. LaBeau and Mrs. F. E. Marcoe of Fond du Lac, Nelson J. of St. Cyprien, Canada, Mrs. Eloise Smith of St. Jean, Canada, Mrs. S.
