Thomas MAHAR
A Terrible Accident
Thomas Mahar, one of the oldest residents of the town of Exeter, met with a horrible accident Friday morning, which resulted in his death a short time later.  Mr. Mahar, who had moved back on the farm from Dayton, ascended the windmill tower to make some repairs on the machinery, and while standing on the platform 50 feet from the ground the big wheel suddenly whirled around, throwing him off.  The force with which he stuck the ground mangled him in a terrible manner.  He lived about four hours afterwards, regaining consciousness for a short time before he died.

Surname: Martin
Died-At Mendota, March 19, 1894, W.H. Martin, aged 35 years, 1 month and 26 days.  William H. Martin, youngest son of Mr. And Mrs. William Martin of this village, was born in the town of Brooklyn Jan. 23, 1850 and lived with his parents until July 20, 1878 when, in company with a friend, he went to Minnesota with the intention of remaining only during the harvest season, but, it seems, changed his mind while there and determined to see more of the world.  He engaged in the occupation of a lineman, which he followed successfully until some time last year when he met with an accident at Pittsburgh, Pa., while adjusting a wire, falling a distance of 35 feet, nearly causing his death and resulting in injuries from which he never entirely recovered.  From there he went with a friend, Charles Phillips, to Covington, Ky., at which place his mind began to fail.  He was advised to return home, which he did, arriving in Albany May 20, 1893.  He was very anxious to commence medical treatment and was taken to Mendota.  Hopes of his recovery were entertained up to Friday, March 16, when he met with a second accident, falling from a roof to the ground a distance of 30 feet, receiving internal injuries which resulted in his death the following Monday.  The remains were brought to his home and were interred Wednesday in the Catholic cemetery.  A source of great consolation to his sorrowing parents and sister and brother who are left to mourn their loss, is a letter from a young man who has followed the same occupation and was with him continually for the past nine years, telling of the purity of his life, his temperate habits and regular attendance at the church of which he was a member, and the good name which followed him everywhere and which remained unsullied through all his wanderings.

Mrs. Sarah A. Morton was born in Virginia May 4, 1826 and died in Albany, Wisconsin August 25, 1895 aged a little more than 69 years.  She was married Sept. 22, 1847 to Lewis Morton, when they came to Wisconsin, settling on the farm in the town of Mt. Pleasant six miles west of Albany, where they spent 39 years and saw their children grow up around them.  Eight children were born to them, four sons and four daughters.  One of the daughters has gone before her mother into the silent land, but the rest of the children survive to cherish the memory of the mother whose loss they deeply deplore.  Nine years ago Mr. And Mrs. Morton moved into Albany to spend a peaceful old age, but five years ago Mr. Morton was called away at the age of 69.  Years ago both she and Mr. Morton experienced religion and united with the Adventist church and she exemplified in her daily walk the religion she professed.  Her children will miss her but they will rejoice that she is safe home at last.  The memory of the years of tender, loving care bestowed on each one of them is among the choicest memories of her children today.  The surviving children were all present at the funeral, which was held on Tuesday, August 27, from the Baptist church, conducted by the pastor.

Alexander MURREY
Surnames: Murrey, Green
Mr. Alexander Murrey, whose death occurred March 1, 1890, after a sickness of 6 months, was born in Erie Co., NY Feb. 24, 1818.  In 1832 he removed to Michigan and located in Hillsdale Co.  Here he married Laura Wright of the same county where he lived.   Three children were born to them in their Michigan home.  Deceased came to Wisconsin in 1846 and secured a farm about half way between Brodhead and Albany where for a number of years he made his home.  Here seven other children were born to them.  The wife died in 1862 on the 17th day of Feb.  In 1878 he was married to the wife who now survives him.  In September, 1887 they left the labor of the farm and came to Brodhead for a home.  The summer of 1888 they built a comfortable house where they have since resided.  The deceased was a member of the Grange for about 16 years, most of the time holding an important position in the order.  He was held in high esteem by his neighbors, and entrusted by them with some of the important positions in the administration of the town.  About 1854 he made a profession of religion and with his wife joined the United Brethren Church.  In his last sickness returning faith in God took the place of doubts and questionings which had found a place in his heart.  He expressed a strong hope in the Savior and confidence in His love.  After long suffering he quietly passed away, surrounded by his loved ones.  Of the 10 children, 7 are still living, and these all came from their homes to be present at the funeral.  This was held in the Baptist Church and conducted by the pastor, the choir singing some of the old hymns which the deceased had loved while living.  His remains were laid away under the snow, but we believe that he has gone to be with the Divine Father   ---Brodhead Independent.
