Obituary
Hewitt. Friday evening, Oct 14th, 1887, at his residence, four miles southeast of this city, Mr. Wm Hewitt, aged 83 years. For some months deceased had been in failing health, and it coud be said he died of old age. Mr. Hewitt was a native of Cornwall, England, came to America in 1840, and to Mineral Point in 1844.He resided here until 185, when he went to California where he spent four years, then returning. About 25 years ago he settled with his wife and family on the farm were he died. Mrs Hewitt preceded her husband to "that home over there" twenty years. Since her death, Mr Hewitt had remained on the place with his son Philip and daughter, the latter marrying a short time ago to W. E. Woodall, of Iowa. Through all his long life he was a conscientious, upright citizen and desirable neighbor, to which the large attendance at his funeral, of all classes, will attest.
