Francis, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.W. Carver, aged 26 years, 3 months and 3 days. Addie M. Carver was born in Albany, Wisconsin May 3, 1866, and the larger part of her life has been spent in this vicinity, where she has made many friends and no enemies. In early life she became converted and in 1887 united with the First Baptist Church of Albany, of which she has since been an active and faithful member. On january 1, 1891 she was married to John B. Francis, of Albany, who with an infant child three weeks old are left to mourn a loss such as can come but once in a lifetime. Her last illness was borne with patience and resignation, and though life is sweet in one so young, her beautiful Christian character enabled her to say "I am ready to go if it is the Lord's will". Arrangements were calmly made by her for the disposition of her effects, and even the text for her funeral sermon was selected by her. She expressed the love for the young friends of her acquaintance and her advice and wish was that all might so live that they would meet her in heaven. The funeral was held at the Baptist Church on Monday, her pastor, Rev. J.C. Carter, conducting the services, assisted by Revs. Rogers and Graves, and was one of the largest ever held here, many friends from a distance being present. The members of the choir were appropriately draped and left unoccupied the chair which she had so long occupied in their midst, and the casket was strewn with lovely flowers, contributed by friends as a tribute to the memory of the deparated one. After the services the remains were laid at rest by tender loving hands, in the village cemetery. The deepest sympathy is felt by all for the afflicted ones, especially to the absent brother, Julius, who resides in faraway Oregon and was unable to bid farewell to his beloved sister, and to them we can only say: She was too pure to live.

Broughton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Broughton, died at the home of her parents, about three miles east of Albany, Sunday morning, May 3, 1891 after an illness of only a few days. The cause of her death was a malignant form of la grippe. All that lay in mortal power was done to check the dread disease but in vain. Dora was an unusually bright and amiable girl, an only daughter and the idol of her parents' and her brother's hearts. It is said that the "King of Shadows loves a shining mark". How true in this instance? In her 17th year, with every prospect for a happy life, what can we say to comfort the afflicted ones who loved her so dearly? The funeral was held at the M.E. Church in this village Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. W.W. Stevens, assisted by Rev. H.A.

Wi Obituaries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Wi/GreenObits/10476 Surname: Atkinson, Jones ------------------------- Albany, Green County, Wisconsin Vindicator, Thursday, June 28, 1888 Obituary Sarah Atkinson, consort of Frank Atkinson, and whose maiden name was Jones, was born in Radnorshire, Wales, May 22, 1838, and died of paralysis in the town of Albany, Green County, Wisconsin on Monday morning, June 25, 1888. She came from Wales to America with her parents about 1844. In her 17th year she was savingly converted and united with the church. At the age of 22 she was united in holy wedlock to her now bereft companion. To them have been born eleven children, three of whom while quite young were transplanted from this vain world to happy glory. Eight children, three boys and five girls, are still left with their father, without a mother's blessing, care and prayers. At her marriage, she was a member of the Primitive Methodist Church. After her marriage, she joined the church to which her husband belonged, fully uniting her destiny with his. For twenty-eight years they walked the journey of life together, sharing each other's joys and sorrows, bearing each other's burdens, and mutually aiding each other in life's great responsibilities and duties. As a faithful mother to her family she was pre-eminent; no toil was too much, no sacrifice too great if she could thereby help and comfort those who God had committed to her care. We shall long remember her earnest words that all her children might be "Taught of the Lord". As a Christian, all who knew her and watched her felt that Sister Atkinson was a good woman, an "Israelite, indeed, in whom there was no guile". She loved the House of the Lord, she relished and fed upon the preached Word. She loved the prayer meeting, the last one she attended only a few weeks ago; her experience was clear and spoke from a feeling heart. Although living some distance from church and having the care of a large family, yet she was always ready and willing to help in church work and by her hearty manner indicated that it was a pleasure for her to do what she could for her Master. Her's was not a high sounding profession, but "a serving with a careful Martha's hand and a careful Mary's heart". Her death doubtless came to her, as to all, unexpected. She had been enjoying her usual health, having attended the camp meeting on Friday evening and was intending to be at the church festival Saturday evening but the stroke came upon her suddenly and without warning, depriving her entirely of the use of one side of her body and of the power of speech; but none who knew her doubt for one moment that when her bodily powers failed that God was "the strength of her soul and would be her portion forever". In her sudden death, a family is sadly bereft, a church mourns, and all who knew her lament her departure. The funeral was held at her late residence on Tuesday morning, June 26, and was attended by a very large concourse of people. A sermon was preached by Rev. Jas. Lawson, from Matthew 5-8, after which her remains were conveyed to Brodhead and buried in the family lot in that beautiful cemetery.

In all the relations of life, of her it can be said, "she hath done what she could." She was laid to rest by loving hands, her precious remains wrapped in the flowers she so much loved, on Saturday afternoon in the cemetery at Yorkville, Illinois where her kindred are buried.

Wi Obituaries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Wi/GreenObits/10474 Surname: Francis ------------------------- Albany, Green County, Wisconsin, Vindicator, Thursday, May 9, 1889 In Memoriam The death of William Francis, which occurred on Thursday, May 2, 1889, removes an old settler who will be much missed in the community, and whose death is much regretted by all who knew him. He was born in Shropshire, England, May 3, 1798, and had he lived one day longer, would have reached his 91st birthday. In June, 1855, he left his home at "Cwmgwyn Hall", Beguildy, Radnorshire, Wales, and came to Madison, in this state. The same year, he settled on the farm on which he died, that being his only permanent residence in this country. He had nine children, five sons and four daughters, of whom four sons and three daughters survive him. In 1865, he sustained the severe loss of his wife, beside whose grave he is buried. William Francis came to this country too late in life to thoroughly adapt himself to the ways and manners of this place, and he retained his old country ways and habits to the last and consequently was not personally known to as large a circle as he would have been had he been younger when he came here, but all who knew him, and they were many, esteemed him highly and all speak in the most tender and respectful manner of his worth and gentleness. Though he lived to the extreme old age of nearly 91 years, he kept his faculties to the last. He was a man of genuine piety, having in 1858 been baptized and united with the Baptist Church, but of late years, his leanings were towards the Seventh Day Advent Church, to which all five of his children are adherents. The funeral, which was conducted by Rev. R.N. Martin, of Albany, took place Saturday afternoon, May 4, 1889. The Union Church at the English settlement, was crowded with relatives and friends who gathered to pay their last respects to a pure and worthy man. The interment was in the cemetery of the settlement. "Life's race well run Life's work well done; Life's crown well won, Now comes rest" NOTE: The children of William Francis were: Mary, William, Thomas, Elizabeth, George, James, Henry, Ann Link: Meinert Family Genealogy URL: <http://pubweb.nwu.edu/~osmun>

In her early years she was a lover of the Sabbath School, in which her seat was seldom vacant. She experienced religion in Janesville, Wisconsin, and ever after was a faithful lover of the house of God. During her short married life, she proved herself to be a loving, faithful companion to her husband, whom she leaves by her death, to care for a dear babe about ten days old. The prayers of all friends and acquaintances are that a kind Providence may watch over him and the dear baby girl. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Jas. Lawson in the M.E. Church, Albany, at which time remarks were made from the text "I will cause the sun to go down at noon."

Wi Obituaries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Wi/GreenObits/10469 Surname: Carter, Chamberlain, Truax, Whitesett ------------------------- Albany, Green County, Vindicator, Thursday, February 14, 1889. Obituary of Samuell Truax Samual Truax was born in Nelson County, Ky, May 18, 1818 and died in Albany, Wisc., Feb. 7, 1889, in the 71st year of his age. In 1822 he removed to Indiana with his parents, where they remained for five years. They then moved to Vermillion County, Illinois, where they resided twelve years. In the month of April 1839, Mr. Truax, then a young man in his 21st year, in company of several young men, came to Green County, Wisc. He resided in the town of Adams for two years, then sold and bought a farm near Monroe, which in June, 1877 he sold and is now known as the County Farm. After this he resided some time in Monroe, afterwards in Brodhead and for a short time in Albany, where he resided at the time of his death. In Sept., 1841 he was married to Miss Mary Ann Whitesett and after 46 years of happy union they were separated by her death in May,1877. They had no children but have brought five adopted children from infancy to maturity, viz: Samual and George Truax, sons of his brother Charles and Daniel Carter and Flora B. Whitesett. He gave to them all a good education and enabled them to start well in life and to whom they all feel they owe a debt of gratitude. In November of 1888 he was married to Miss Mary Chamberlain, who after a few weeks only is now called to mourn his death. In youthful days, Mr. Truax embraced the Christian religion and united with the Methodist Episcopal Church in which he remained a faithful and consistent member for over fifty years. During this period he has been ever faithful, energetic and devoted as a Christian, and by his presence, influence and means has responded to the call of duty.The church has lost, by his death, one of its most faithful supporters and defenders and by whom his departure is greatly mourned. His Christian experience and testimony was always cheerfully given and was sound, clear and practical. In his life, he has been a living example of the scriptural declaration that "Godliness is profitable in all things". God blessed him in his business and what was thus committed to his trust he cheerfully devoted to the cause of his Master. Mr. Truax, on account of his long residence in this county, became well and favorably known, and I have yet to hear of any person who ever questioned his truthfulness or integrity. The stroke of paralysis which terminated his days on earth came upon him suddenly, though probably not entirely unexpected, having had two slight strokes before, but it found him watching and waiting for the "Master's Call". After his last attack, he was only able for a moment to speak a word or two after which his power of speech failed entirely and although probably more or less conscious to the last, he remained speechless until he died, passing away without even a struggle, and we doubt not has now begun to reap the reward of half a century's consecration to the life of Christ. Such a life is worth living and such a death is a deep loss to any community, but to him an eternal gain. Truly, he "came to his grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in to his season". The funeral service was held in the M.E. Church, Albany, conducted by Rev. Jas. Lawson, in the presence of a large audience, and the remains interred in the family burial ground in the town of Mt. Pleasant.

Posted on: Green Co. Wi Obituaries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Wi/GreenObits/10465 Surname: Vannatta, Kishpaugh, Withrow ------------------------- At Cornilia 1939 After a brief illness, Silas A. VANNATTA passed away last Sunday. He was 88 years of age, and for many years a highly esteemed resident of Platteville, Wisconsin. Silas A. VanNatta, son of Aaron and Elizabeth (KISHPAUGH) VanNatta was born near Fredricksburg, Virginia, November 10, 1850. At the age of six years his family left Virginia, traveling by train west to the Mississippi River, and thence by boat up the river to Dubuque, and establishing a home near the Platte River at Cornelia. The house priviously built was a brick structure which was unusual at that day and this house and farm became their permanent home. Mr. VanNatta had vivid memories of the rugged pioneer days, when bears and wolves were by no means rare, crude farming, bridgeless streams, the civil war days, two of his brothers serving in the army with only one returning. The slow uncertain mail service during the dark war days when letters were eagerly waited for with grave anxiety. February 5, 1873, he was united in marriage to Miss Lavina WITHROW. Five children blessed this union. Two little daughters passed away in childhood. They engaged in farming in this locality and some years after his father's death they purchased the old home where they lived for a number of years. Something remarkable about this is that the farm is now occupied by the fifth generation in the VanNatta family. Mr. VanNatta served the public in a number of offices, being a member of the County board, the School Board, Road Supervisor, and Town Chairman. He was a highly respected and good citizen. In 1910 Mr. and Mrs. VanNatta left the farm and moved to a house they purchased on South Court Street in Platteville. October 22, 1922 Mrs. VanNatta passed away and since that time he has made his home with his son Howard and their family. He was the last surviving member of a family of ten children. He leaves to mourn their loss two daughters, Jennie, Mrs. George HARMS, and Verna, Mrs. George STEINHOFF, and one son Howard. There are eight grandchildren and five great grandchildren and a host of other relatives and friends. The memorial services were held Tuesday afternoon, May 2, in the Cornelia Congregational Church of which he was a loyal supporter, and were conducted by the pastor, Robert F. Merritt. The body was borne to its last resting place beside his wife in the Cornelia cemetery by his grandsons: Harry and Clarence HARMS, Lester STEINHOFF, George VanNatta, Robert HORN and David PARISH.

Hi, I'm looking for a letter of intent for naturalization for one of my ancestors, John Lutz. I believe he filed this in the early 1860's. I was wondering, is this something I would find at the courthouse? Do they have an index card system for all the filers that allows you to find the records easily (like they do here in Milwaukee)? Thanks! Krista (Milwaukee)
