J.M. Mead died at his resident in this place last Thursday night, in the 80th year of his age.
Mr Mead and wife were pioneer settlers off Minnesota; they came from New York state, the place of his nativity to Wisconsin immediately after their marriage in 1848. and from here he removed to Minnesota in 1857, settling on a farm in Ceresco; there he lived and famed until about fifteen years ago, when he retired from farm life and came to this place to reside.
Mr Mead was a man highly respected, being of a pleasant disposition, and possessed of more than ordinary intelligence, made him quite a favorite with his neighbors and associates. For thirty years he filled the positions of town clerk and justice of the peace for a number of years after removing to Lake Crystal.
He has left his devoted and aged wife, three sons, E.H., living near this place, Gardner and Fred, all grown to manhood; two daughters, Mrs Helen Powell and Mrs Alice Eager; Mrs Powell is the eldest of the children. Mr Mead also has a brother and sister living east, both older than he.
