Obituary

Elijah Y. McFaul, of Bridgeport, a well known and highly respected citizen of this county passed away on December 17th, after a brief illness, at the ripe old age of 80 years.

He was born in Kingston, Canada West, where he grew up and received a good school education. He moved to New London, Wisconsin, when it was a pioneer settlement, and in its building and growth had a large share as carpenter and architect. In 1875 he finally moved to this county where he remained 'till called away, universally regretted by his many relatives and the community generally. He was unobtrusive in his manner and devoted himself assiduously and intensely to his vocations until his last illness, up to which time he retained his mental faculties almost unimpaired.

He leaves three sons, C.A., L.R., and W.P. McFaul, assessor-elect, besides many grandchildren, his beloved wife having passed away eight years ago.

He joined Prince Edward Lodge, No. 8 F. & A.M., May 10th, 1849, and North Star Lodge, No. 104 I.O.O.F. , of New London, Wisconsin, in 1855.

His remains were interred in Evergreen Cemetery, Manchester, in the presence of a large attendance. Garcia Lodge, No. 240 I.O.O.F., of Point Arena, officially assisting in the ceremonies.—Cor.
