"A. S. PACKARD -- Farmer, Sec.15; P.O. Leeds Center; was born in Otsego Co, NY, 4 Feb 1815; his father afterward settled in the city of Albany. In the spring of 1839, Mr. Packard came to the town of Milton, Rock Co, WI; in June of that year, he helped to raise the first house erected in Janesville, Rock Co. He came to Columbia Co and settled in the town of Leeds in the spring of 1854. He was married to Lydia L. Ives, born in the State of New York, 3 Oct 1829; she is the daughter of E. M. and Elizabeth Ives, who came from Cortland Co, NY, to Rock Co, WI, in the spring of 1845, where they lived for about five years, and then settled in Sec. 15, town of Leeds, where they still reside." The History of Columbia County, Wisconsin, 1880, p. 982
"After a life of more than 92 years, Algernon S. Packard died Saturday morning at 5 o'clock at the home of his son, Eugene Packard, corner of Webster and Woodward Streets. Death followed a long illness which was in the nature of a general breakdown incident to old age. He was 92 years, 5 months and 23 days old.
Mr. Packard was born in Cherry Valley, New York where he resided until manhood. In 1839, he moved to what was then Wisconsin Territory and there married Lydia L. Ives. Eight children came to bless their union, three of whom, with the widow, survive him. The surviving children are Eugene Packard, a son in Savannah, Ill., and a daughter in Ohio.
Mr. Packard had made his home with his son in this city for the past nineteen years, during which time he had endeared himself to many friends. He was a man of the highest probity of character and much respected for his strict integrity. Until two years ago, his age did not interfere with his activity and he kept himself well informed until the last few days preceding his death, not letting his advancing age deter him from being well posted on current events.
Funeral from the family residence on East Webster Street Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, services conducted by Elder J. E. Pardonner. Interment in Edgewood Cemetery." The Chillicothe Constitution, July 27, 1907
