Last fall he underwent an operation, and this together with other complications brought about by his advanced age, caused his death. The funeral was held at the Episcopla [sic] church on Tuesday afternoon, in charge of Rev. T. C. Hudson. Burial took place in the Paynesville cemetery. Mr. Chisholm was born in Nova Scotia on December 25, 1843, and passed away at the age of 78 years, 1 month and 19 days. He came to Wisconsin when a boy. From Beaverdam [sic], Wisconsin, he came to Paynesville, where he has lived for the last forty years, being engaged in farming. In 1877 he was married to Mary Elizabeth McConaghy, who died about eight years ago. He is survived by one son, Dan, of Minneapolis, and Katherine, who lives in Paynesville. One daughter, Alice, died about six years ago. The deceased was an upright and honest citizen who was well respected and liked by all who knew him (Paynesville Press, 2 Mar 1922).
