H. Covell, of Albany, Green Co., Wisconsin, aged 79 years, 9 months, and 24 days. Wm. H. H. covell was born in Madison Co., NY Dec. 4, 1812; was married Jan. 11, 1837 to Jane A. Raymond, of Plymouth, Chenango Co., NY. In 1848 Mrs. and Mrs. Covell moved to Sylvester, Green Co., Wisc. Shortly after moving there, they bought a farm of 140 acres, being the place they always lived until Mrs. Covell's death, which occurred Oct. 26, 1884. Mr. Covell continued living at the old home until October, 1889, when he moved with his son W.A. Covell to Albany, where he resided until the time of his death. Father Covell was a man can safely say had no enemies; always being of a kind and gentle disposition, he won for himself many friends. He has been a member of the Baptist Church for a number of years, holding his membership with the Monticello Prairie Baptist Church at the time of his death. Since his conversion he has always been a warm Christian and true follower of Christ. He had long since learned to say "Thy will be done". The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. J.C. Carter, who so appropriately selected the text "for to live is Christ, and to die is to gain". There are five children who live to mourn the loss of one whose fondest memory will be ever cherished. Thus has passed to his reward a friend and father who cannot be forgotten.
