Death County Iowa Death State Postal WI Death State Wisconsin Death Month 03 Death Year 1884 First Name Francis Last Name Vivian Obituary Day 20 Obituary Month 03 Obituary Source MP Tribune Obituary Transcription Death of "Uncle Frank" Vivian Last Friday, at his farm residence near Dodgeville, Mr. Francis Vivian's spirit was harvested by the angel of death, at the ripe old age of 83. His taking off was caused by inflammation of the lungs, from which he had suffered several days in a hopeless condition. He was one of the first and most constant settlers in Iowa county, coming here in 1832, and, with the exception of but a few months, has been here ever since. His good qualities were many and hid in oblivion what trifling errors he might have possessed. Considerate, kind-hearted and generous from youth to age - qualities that insured him respect all through life, and will glisten in the halls of memory long after his death. Following is a sketch of his career in life from the time he left his place of nativity up to his demise, as taken mainly from the recently compiled history of Iowa county: Francis Vivian, the veteran ex-county treasurer of Iowa county, was born Feb. 19, 1801, in Camborn, Cornwall, England: his early life was spent in the tin and copper mines of Cornwall. The year 1832 found him in Mineral Point, and the day after his arrival here he enlisted in Capt. John Moore's company to war against Black Hawk, and remained at the garrison in this place until the red chief was overthrown. Mr. V. then mined lead a year on the Van Matre survey; spent a few months in Dubuque, and then locating in Mineral Point, resided here for twenty-five years. For a few years he kept store; was then for a few years a partner of Jenkings & Musgrove, in the smelting business; he was next employed by a Buffalo, N.Y., firm as agent in buying mineral. He was one of the first men to be elected President of the village of Mineral Point. In '56 he was elected county treasurer, which position he held for sixteen years, probably a greater length of time than any man in the northwest in the same office. In 1865 he settled in Dodgeville, and from there removed to his farm in '74; 80 acres of this farm he secured from the government in early day. He married in 1827, Dinah Kendall, of Cornwall; she died in '59, leaving three children - Mrs. Jas. Toay and Mrs. Cyrus Lanyon, of this city, and William F., a farmer. In '60 he married again, to Miss Jane Hollow; they had five children, all but one survive him. "Uncle Frank", as he was best known, was a good type of the men who hewed down the barriers, that settlement and civilization might follow them into the State and county. The remains on being brought to this city on Sunday for interment by the side of his first wife, were rested in the P.M. church, toward which he liberally contributed in its infancy, and a short, appropriate funeral service held, Rev. P. Allen officiating. The attendance was exceptionally large in view of the bad roads and inclement weather. This is the fourth death in this family close to within a year. In Feb., 1883, his daughter Ida, was summoned to the beyond, then only a few weeks ago his second wife, followed by that of our esteemed Citizen, Jas. Toay, son-in-law of "Uncle Frank". Surely affliction falls with terrible force in places; and, although sympathy soothes and heals sorrow in only a small degree, it has been plainly visible on every hand.

Van Dusen. In this city, early last Saturday morning, July 18th, 1885, Dr. Harmon Van Dusen; aged about 82 years. The frequency with which we are called upon to record the deaths of our aged citizens is indeed an unpleasant duty. The men who in early days stood prominently before the community will soon be gone. Dr. Van Dusen came to Mineral Point is 1848, from Tully, New York, and for over 35 years attended to the duties of his profession in this city and vicinity. He was an able practitioner, and faithful to his patients, and lost none of his keenness of medical intuition, with advancing years, until the terrible paralysis, from which he has been so great a sufferer, made its power manifest, during the last two months. The Doctor did not die RICH - not because he had not had practice enough, nor because he was a spendthrift, but because the average moral sense of so many people does not reach to the doctor's bill; it, like the printer's, can go over. He was one of the organizers of the State Medical Association, and was greatly honored by the leading men of his profession throughout the state. At home he took much interest in educational matters, and was for many years president of the board of education. He was also an enthusiastic Free Mason. A special train brought several leading physicians from Milwaukee to attend his funeral.

In this village on Sunday evening, the 21st inst. Mrs. Margaret Ann, wife of Dr. H. Van Dusen, aged 40 years 11 months and 4 days, Funeral at the Presbyterian Church, this day (Wednesday) at 2 o'clock. Mrs. Van Dusen had been suffering with severe indisposition for some time, which she bore with christian fortitude and submissive resignation. in her death, a husband has been bereft of an affectionate and amiable companion, her family of a kind and tender mother, and society of a bright ornament and worthy example. In sickness and affliction she was ever ready to administer relief and consolation. By her kind and affable disposition, as well as her attention upon those in distress, she had won the esteem of all who knew her, and many is the heart, which feels a void at her departure, not soon to be filled by the affections of one so amiable. In view of this bereavement, cut down as she has been, in the bloom of a life of usefulness, we may well exclaim, "truly the ways of Providence are past finding out."
