The Sabbath Recorder

November 1863

Rock County, Wisconsin

12
In Milton, Wis., Oct. 18th, 1863, of dysentery, Henry Giles GREENMAN, Esq.,
aged 53 years, 5 months, and 28 days. Mr. GREENMAN was a grandson of the late Eld. Henry CLARKE. His early life was spent mostly in Brookfield, N.Y. He afterwards removed to Allegany Co., N.Y., residing in the towns of Genesee and Alfred, and for a time taking charge of the financial affairs of Alfred Academy. Some fifteen years ago, he removed to Milton, Wis., where he was quite successful in his business, and had come to exert an extensive influence. He was a genial companion, and a man whose co-operation in every good work could be relied upon. His counsel will be much missed in the community, in the school of which he was a trustee, and in the religious society with which he was associated. [Vol. 19, No. 45, p. 179]

In Walworth, Wis., Oct. 23d, 1863, of typhoid fever and erysipelas, Mrs. Lavina
[Lovina] REDFIELD [nee WILLIAMS], wife of Wm. H. REDFIELD, aged 45 years. Sister REDFIELD professed religion when about seventeen, and united with the Clarence Church, N.Y. Some sixteen years since, with her husband, she removed to Milton, Wis., and soon united with the Seventh-day Baptist Church there, and was a member of that church at the time of her death. She was much esteemed as a friend and neighbor, as well as a firm believer of the great truths of the gospel. From the nature of her disease, her mind was wandering, but a good hope is left to surviving friends, that she "sleeps in Jesus." [Vol. 19, No. 45, p. 179]
