Sidney Deuel, whose death occurred Sunday in Fredonia, was a pioneer settler of the county, and one of the earliest residents of this city. He was a native of New York, having been born in Easton, Washington county, November 17, 1803. He resided at the place of his nativity until 1836, when his attention being called to the west by the steady stream of emigration from that vicinity, and by the glowing eulogies pronounced by those who returned to visit their friends upon the great natural resources of the country and the opportunities to be met with by energetic men, he determined to test for himself the truth of what he heard. Early in the year he came to this city. Marshall at that time was the scene of wonderful activity. The men whose genius and unbounded energy had made Michigan and Marshall household words throughout the states were then at the height of their popularity and power. The whole community was pervaded with the fever of speculation, and was filled with the highest expectations for the future. Houses were begun in the morning, nearly completed by night, and the next day were occupied by tenants. Mr. Deuel invested in a couple of city lots which he sold in a short time at a considerable advance on first cost, and was so pleased with the place that he resolved to make it his home. He returned to New York, was married on the 19th of September to Miss Margaret A. Wright, and again set out with his bride for the land of promise. In the same year he purchased the farm which he still owned and occupied at the time of his death, but did not immediately settle upon it. For a year he carried on for the late Arzah Robinson the farm now occupied by the county as a poor farm. He then moved into what is now the north part of the city, but which was then a farm owned by Sidney Ketchum, for whom he acted as superintendent. Soon after, the immense bubble which the boundless ambition of Mr. Ketchum had inflated to such stupendous proportions, wholly upon borrowed capital, suddenly collapsed, and he became a resident "upon the limits" in New York. Mr. Deuel at his death still possessed a memento of him in the form on an unliquidated account for salary. While residing in the city both Mr. and Mrs. Deuel were for some months the victims of that scourge of the early settlers, fever and ague, and it was here that they lost their first born child, Louise. Afterwards, Mr. Deuel leased a farm in Fredonia, which he worked for a few seasons, and then removed to his own farm which was then a virgin forest. Of his life, extending over nearly half a century in our midst, little need be said. Mr. Deuel was a man who attended strictly to his own affairs and meddled little with those of others. An inveterate reader, and thoroughly posted upon the current history of the day, he took a keen interest in the political affairs of the nation, and was thoroughly imbued with the anti-slavery and moral principles of the republican party. His, however, was a retiring disposition, and he resolutely shunned the pursuit of office and notoriety of every description. He was inflexibly honest, and often suffered in pocket by giving credit to others for possessing equal uprightness of character. As a friend and citizen he merited and received the respect and regard of his neighbors, who during his last sickness showered upon him and upon the afflicted family numerous and touching nets of kindness which can never be forgotten. Though he had been somewhat feeble and unable to be much out of the house for the past year, Mr. Deuel's last sickness was of brief duration. He was taken ill Tuesday and died the following Sunday. The disease, however, had been hanging about him for years, and from its nature his sufferings must have been severe, but such was his wonderful patience and fortitude that not even the members of his family heard from him a complaining word. His wife and five children -- Mrs. Joel Houston and Abram Deuel, of Fredonia, John C. Deuel, of Bellevue, Mrs. C. H. Raven, of Ceresco, and Mrs. Frank Boughton, of this city, survive him, and mourn him as a faithful husband, an indulgent parent, and an honest man.
