from the Janesville Daily Gazette:
Hon. Kiron W. Bemis, a pioneer resident of Rock county in the state legislature of 1858 and held many other important offices during his long and useful life, died suddenly in the Empire hotel at half past eleven o'clock last evening after an illness of about one week's duration. He and his wife had formerly been making their home with a son, O.W. Bemis, at Clinton, Ia., but since last autumn had been visiting with friends and relatives in this state and Illinois and were here awaiting favorable weather before undertaking the trip in this son's new place of residence at Salt Lake City.
The deceased was born in Madison county, New York, June 11, 1824, and came from Alabama, Genesee county, New York, to settle in the town of Plymouth, Rock county, in 1844. He was married April 13, 1846, to Rachel Wheeler, who survives him. Edgar M. Bemis, of Tacoma, Wash., is one of the two children. A sister Mrs. Charlotte A. Boyce lives at Lodi, Wis.; a brother, Jerome Bemis, at Los Angeles, Cal., and a nephew, Fred H. Bemis, was with Mrs. Bemis at the last.
Mr. Bemis was many times chairman of the town board during its early history. He also served the county as register of deeds and was for a time in the present marshal's office...
