With the exception of a year or two spent in Waushara county, Mrs. Axtell resided continuously in this locality until her death, living at either Ogdensburg or Manawa until two years ago, when failing health caused her to enter the hospital.
Her marriage to Samuel E. Axtell occurred at Ogdensburg in 1871. Mr. Axtell died twelve years later, and Mrs. Axtell continued to make her home in Ogdensburg until about twenty years ago when she moved to Manawa. She lived here until 1932 and then went to Waupaca.
