Alex's father was Adam William Empey and his mother's maiden name was Nancy Ann Putnam. The original hand-written marriage record for Alex's marriage to his second wife, Mary Jane, lists his father as Adam Empey, which is fine, but his mother is listed as Harriet Empey, not Nancy Ann Putnam. Don't know the reason for the discrepancy.

ALEX. EMPEY DEAD. He Was Out Riding Tuesday Afternoon and Passes to the Unknown Beyond at 11:30 Last Night. Alexander J. Empey, one of Stevens Point's best known and oldest citizens, died at his home, 932 Brown street, at 11:30 o'clock last night. Mr. and Mrs. Empey were out driving in the afternoon, the gentleman feeling as well as at any time during the past four months, and it was not until 9 o'clock last night that he complained of illness. Dr. Rood was immediately summoned by C. L. Rogers, who lives opposite Mr. Empey's, and although the physician did everything possible to prolong life, his skill proved of no avail and the aged gentleman rapidly sank into that sleep from which there is no awakening this side the grave. Death was the result of asthma, from which Mr. Empey had suffered for many years. The subject of this obituary was born on the line dividing New York and Canada, seventy-five years ago the 29th of last April, and when a young man came to Evansville, Wis., where a sister was then living. A few years later he moved to Dane county, where in the early 50's he married Miss Julia A. Priest. The family shortly after decided on making their future home in the comparatively unknown country around Stevens Point, and on reaching what is now this city they went to housekeeping. This has been the abiding place of Mr. Empey and most of his children ever since. The latter part of August, 1864, Co. D, 5th Regiment, Wisconsin Infantry was organized for service in the civil war, Mr. Empey enlisting as a private and serving his country until the strife ended in '65. The company was formally organized at Madison, Sept. 1st and mustered into service eight days later. Among the other present residends of Stevens Point who went out with Company D are S. W. Andrews, Charles Cady, J. K. P. Hubbard, Wesley King and A. B. Redfield. His first wife died twelve years ago and about a year later Mr. Empey married Mrs. Jacob B. Fancher, of Amherst, who survives him. He also leaves two sons and three daughters by his first wife. Hamilton L. Empey and Mrs. Frank Ross, of Wausau, Mrs. W. S. Carr, W. J. Empey and Mrs. A. J. Charlesworth, of this city. For five years previous to 1880, the now deceased gentleman served as peace officer in this city, being elected city marshall at two different times, and was night policeman one year. His next occupation was that of owner and driver of the city sprinkler, which calling he followed each season until two years ago last fall, when he retired from active work. Funeral services will be held at St. Paul's M. E. church at 2:30 o'clock, Friday afternoon, Rev. E. W. F. BeQua preaching the sermon, and the remains will be laid to rest in the Union cemetery. Post 156, G. A. R., of which order deceased was one of the most active members, will attend the funeral in a body.

Death of A. J. Empey. The death of Alexander J. Empey, one of the earlier settlers in Stevens Point, occurred at his home, 932 Brown street, at 11:30 o'clock Tuesday night. The summons was a sudden one, though not entirely unexpected by his immediate friends. He was subject to severe attacks of asthma. These had been increasing in frequency and severity of late and with the last six months he had a number of times been close to the border line. He was out riding Tuesday afternoon and in the evening prior to about half past 9 o'clock was apparently in his usual health and read his paper as usual. At the time indicated he complained of not feeling well and it was evident that another attack was coming on. Dr. Rood, the family physician, was called, as he had been under similar circumstances many times before, but this time the remedies were unavailing. A. J. Empey was born in Canada, April 29, 1921. When a young man he came to Union, Dane county, in this state, where he was married to Miss Julia A. Priest. He was afterwards engaged in teaming and hauling supplies to the Wisconsin River pinery. About 1850 he moved to Stevens Point and had been a resident of the city ever since. His first wife died in 1885, and he was afterwards married to Mrs. J. B. Fancher, who survives him. On August 25, 1864, he enlisted at Cross Plains, this state, in Co. D, Fifth Wisconsin infantry and was mustered out June 20th of the following year. He held the office of city marshall for four years, and also served a number of years as deputy sheriff. Two sons and three daughters, all children of his first wife, survive him. Hamilton and Mrs. Frank Ross live at Wauwau; Mrs. W. S. Carr, Mrs. A. J. Charlesworth and William are residents of this city. The funeral will be held at the Methodist church Friday afternoon. He was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, and the services at the grave will be conducted in accordance with the ritual of the order.
