AN OLD SETTLER AND OLD SOLDIER GONE
Last Saturday Peter La Fleur, an early settler of this portion of the county
and a well-known resident of the Eastside, this city, breathed his last-
departed for Elysian fields where the eternal camps of the dead are located.
He had been a helpless invalid for years, being afflicted sorely with
trembling palsy, and death brought to him welcome relief. He was born in
Montreal, July 7, 1828. Came to this city in 1849 and made it his home
most of his life. He served in the Union Army during the last year of the
war, part of the time being in the 3d Wis. Rg. and the balance of the
time in the 35th Wis. Rg. He leaves a sorrowing wife and several grown-up
sons and daughters. The funeral took place from St. Luke's church this
morning.
