Obituary:
Another pioneer resident of Dunn County, a Civil War veteran, and one of the early Stanton citizens, who had lived continuously on the old homestead southeast of the city since 1875, was called to the great beyond on Wednesday morning at 6:05, August 25, 1915.
Ever since his beloved wife passed away on Sept 14, 1913, he had been in feeble health. Those near him noticed the steady decline, yet he was always cheerful and by sheer will power was able to be about. On Wednesday he seemed his usual self, but at 11 o'clock that evening he fell from his bed, striking on his head. At 2 o'clock the same evening while attempting to arise from his bed he suffered another fall. From this time and on he was restless and his ebbing strength and the shock of the two falls he had received hastened his end.
Dr. DeWane was summoned on Thursday evening and stated that the end was but a mere matter of time. Drs, DeWane and BeeBe were called again on Friday afternoon but were unable to aid the veteran in his last great struggle. The end came peacefully Wednesday morning at the break of day.
John Perry Marlette was born in Canada, November 20, 1839, moving to Oswego County, NY, near Fulton when a little boy. He lived there until he had attained his manhood when he came west and settled at West Albany, Minnesota. He married to Mary Jane Jinks December 17, 1861 and nine children came to bless this union: Ettie Jean, Oran D, Effie G, Le Nettie Sofrona, William Henry, Albert Sidney, Mary E, John LeRoy and Ida May. Eight of them survive him. Etta Jean dying in 1866
Deceased was a private in Co, C, 2nd regiment Minnesota Volunteers, Infantry. Entering the army in '64. Almost immediately after joining the union forces, he was captured and was held at the Andersonville and Libby prisons. He was honorably discharged at the close of the great struggle, and rejoined his family at West Albany, Minnesota.
In 1866, he moved to the old homestead near Connersville, now owned by his son Orin Marlette, living there until 1875 when he moved to this late home in Stanton.
The funeral was held at the Marlette home Friday forenoon at 10 O'clock August 27th, Rev Sainty of Downing, officiating. Hundreds of sorrowing friends and neighbors of the deceased were in attendance and paid their last respects to the dead. The casket was heaped with floral offerings and was taken to the family lot at Connersville where it was interred beside the remains of his wife.
Cline Gobler, Fred Shafer, Jake Wisemiller, Ole Bosshart, FC Grutt, and Albert Wisemiller were pall bearers.
At this dark hour when sorrow reigns supreme we bow in all humbleness to the unseen hand of death that has removed from out midst a kind and loving neighbor. The grassy sound that marks his last resting spot shall ever be reverenced. To the bereaved children we extend our heartfelt sympathy.
