WI], November 23, 1867, Page 2 Column 3 A SUDDEN DEATH It is with a sad heart that we record the death of Mr. Thomas A. CASWELL, many years a respected resident of Black River Falls. Mr. CASWELL has had the heart disease for some time, and his friends have frequently feared that his last hours were at hand. Wednesday evening last he was taken unusually ill, and in a short time breathed his last. This blow falls heavily in the home of Mr. C., where there is a wife and two small children. Another good citizen, kind and obliging neighbor and loving husband and father, has been called hence. Many hearts were sad--many bitter tears have been and will be shed. The funeral took place Friday afternoon, and was largely attended. He being a Mason, the ceremonies were conducted by the Masonic Fraternity.

Surnames: DUDLEY, KENSON, LOWE, RAAS, SECHLER Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/oEC.2ACE/519 Message Board Post: From the Badger Banner [Black River Falls, Jackson Co., WI], Thursday, March 9, 1916, Page 1 George RAAS, an old settler of Jackson County, died at his home in the village of Hixton Sunday last, March 5th, of Bright’s Disease. The funeral services were held at the Hixton church Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Marshall, and the remains were interred in the Pole Grove Cemetery. The deceased was born at Wuertenberger, Germany, on January 17th, 1831, and was hence 85 years, 1 month and 17 days old when overtaken with death. He came to America alone in 1848, when 17 years of age, and at Williamsport, Pa., learned the carpenter’s trade under J. R. SECHLER. In the spring of 1855 he came with Mr. SECHLER to Wisconsin, and they stayed at Baraboo until the fall of the same year, where they came and settled in Jackson county at what afterwards became Sechlerville. There the subject of this sketch built Mr. SECHLER’s first store, first mill and first residence, and from that time on erected many buildings for various people in that section. In 1859 Mr. RAAS was married to Miss Bessie DUDLEY, at Sechlerville. Mrs. RAAS died on May 30th, 1865. Of the three children born to them one died in infancy and the other two are still living--Mrs. J. B. LOWE, now of Neillsville, and Geo. W. RAAS, now of Darlington, Wis. In 1869, at Black River Falls, Mr. RAAS was again married, this time to Miss Frances A. KENSON, who now survives him. In 1871 a son was born to them, but he died at the age of two years. In 1883 Mr. and Mrs. RAAS moved to the village of Hixton, where he engaged in undertaking and carried a modest stock of furniture. He continued in business until two years ago, when on account of declining health, he sold out. He did considerable work at wagon-making, besides doing carpenter and undertaking work. Mr. RAAS was a man who held the respect and high regard of all who knew him for his qualities of integrity and goodness. He attended strictly to his own business and never intruded himself upon anybody in an offensive way. Everybody was his friend and he was everybody’s friend. While he possessed the intelligence to have made himself more prominent he never sought great riches nor political honors.

Surnames: Shaver, Roberts Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/oEC.2ACE/517 Message Board Post: Looking for information on Almond Shaver and Sinah Roberts and their families. Almon was born in Canada in 1823. He was the oldest of five children. His mother's name was Mary. He married Sinah Roberts in Ohio. After moving to Merrillan, Wisconsin, with their one year old son, Egdar, Almon left his family for a period of about 8 years. He went to Calfornia in search of gold. After his return to his family in Merrillan, he enlisted as a private in Company C. 37th Regiment Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry to serve during the war. This was on March 30, 1864. He participated in several battles and was severly wounded in the left side. He recovered at the hospital at City Point, Virginia and Willets Point, Virginia and then received an honorable discharge at the close of the war. He was coverted 18 years before his death at a camp meeting held by Rev. Foster in Alma Center. From that time until about two years before his death, when his health failed, he served as a local preacher in the M. E. church preaching at several points in the vicinity of Merrillan and Columbia, establishing several Sunday schools. Almon also served as county sheriff for several years. Sinah was also born in Canada on February 12, 1830. She died on December 4, 1905, and is buried next to Almond in Merrillan, Wisconsin. Sinah's mother's name was Mary. Maiden name not known. Her father's name was Thomas Roberts. Both Almond's and Sinah's families lived in Iroquois, Dundas County, Canada. Any information on these families would be very helpful and appreciated. Thank you.
