WI], July 6, 1867, Page 3 Column 6 Abbey GROUT is the name of a little girl who died in town Tuesday last. Mr. and Mrs. GROUT were on their way from New Hampshire to visit friends in Eau Claire county, and their little child had taken ill at Chicago. Upon reaching here, they were compelled to stop. Abbey died in one week after they reached this place. The funeral was largely attended, which fact told well for the humanity of our people.
