At the home of her son-in-law Mr. & Mrs. W. K. Murphy, 689 Shepard Avenue, Milwaukee, Mrs. S. W. Lamoreux, who had been widowed 4 1/2 years, died Friday morning at the age of 68 years, 10 months and 13 days.
The deceased, nee Hattie A. Cobb of Summitt, Waukesha County, Wis., was born April 6, 1845. She married Silas W. Lamoreux November 22, 1866, who died August 5, 1909 in Beaver Dam.
Soon after their marriage, the young couple moved to Mayville, where they lived until 1893. In 1878 the late S. W. Lamoreux was elected county judge for Dodge County, serving 16 years.
When Grover Cleveland was elected President for the second time in 1892, S. W. Lamoreux was appointed Land Commissioner and the family moved to the Federal Capital, Washington, where she stayed for four years. Then they moved to Horicon and in 1898 to Beaver Dam, where Mr. Lamoreux died on August 5, 1909, as mentioned above.
Since the death of her husband, the deceased has lived with her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. & Mrs. W. K. Murphy, in Milwaukee.
Besides this daughter, she leaves behind three sons as follows: county judge Courtney W. Lamoreux of Mayville, Don Percy Lamoreux of Chicago and Harlan S. Lamoreux of Beaver Dam.
Besides these children, she leaves several grandchildren and one brother in California.
Her death was caused when she fell and broke a hip while on a business trip Thursday morning. Although several doctors were immediately called in and she was taken home, she died 24 hours later on Friday morning.
The body was taken to Beaver Dam, where it was buried Sunday afternoon from the First Presbyterian Church of which she was a member, conducted by Rev. T. S. Johnson.
Our deepest condolences to the bereaved.

On Friday death came quite unexpectedly to Mrs. Hattie A. Lamoreux, mother of Judge C. Lamoreux of this city, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. K. Murphy of Milwaukee. Her death resulted from a fall which she sustained the day before. While walking on the icy sidewalk near her daughter's home she fell so as to fracture her hip. At first her condition was not considered serious but she soon lost consciousness and before long her life was ended.
In her Mayville loses one of its pioneers, for she was raised here and lived here until her late husband, Judge S. W. Lamoreux, was appointed U. S. land commissioner by President Cleveland and they resided in Washington, D. C. Upon the expiration of the term they came back to Wisconsin and lived at Horicon until Mr. Lamoreux re-organized the Beaver Dam Mallable works. There they resided until Judge Lamoreux died.
Harriet Adelia Lamoreux, daughter of George Cobb, was born in Genessee, Waukesha Co., April 6th, 1845. Her father was a farmer and was one of the first men who made a business of threshing. Her mother, whose maiden name was Perry, traced her relationship to Commodore Perry, hero of Lake Erie. She received a country school education, the best to be had in those days and later became a teacher herself, having taught in Lomira and the surrounding country. She was married Nov. 22, 1866. She is survived by four children, C. W. Lamoreux of this city, D. P. Lamoreux, Chicago, Vivian Murphy, Milwaukee and H. S. Lamoreux, Beaver Dam. She has one brother living in California.
The funeral was held at Beaver Dam on Sunday at the First Presbyterian Church, of which she was a member, Rev. Johnson officiating. She was always greatly interested in church, educational and social affairs. May she rest in peace.
