James Cation of North Prairie, one of the pioneers of Wankesha County, passed away Tuesday evening, May 23 st, after a brief illness.
The funeral took place at the M. E. church, North Prairie, Thursday afternoon and was attended by relatives and a large concourse of friends. The services were conducted by the Rev. Mr. Pomfret, who spoke from the words, "Precious to the Son is the death of his saints." The choir rendered some appropriate and favorite music. The Interment was in the North Prairie cemetery by the side of the graves of his wife and daughter, Elizabeth.
Mr. Cation was a native of Scotland and was born 81 years ago. He came to this country in 1847 and with his father and sister, Mrs. Thomas Duncan, settled in the town of Ottawa. He was a plowman in his native land and naturally chose farming as his life work. His first farm was on what is known as Sandy Island, a formation left during the glacier period. His next farm was near North Prairie where his son, David, now lives. Mr. Cation was married to Mary Morgan, a worthy and industrious Welsh lady and they were parents of a large family.
Most of the off-spring are married and have families. They are Mrs. Jennette McKee, who resides in this city; Mrs. Mary Gilbert of Jefferson, (she was formerly Mrs. Geo. Aplin); Mrs. Elenor Jones of Palmyra; Thomas, who is a merchant in Chicago; Mrs. Marvin, who recently moved from this city to Whitewater, where her husband is in business; Mrs. Isabell Mico, who resides in Kenosha; Maggie. Esther and Frank have lived at home and have recently moved to this city. Deceased had 27 grand children and one great-grandchild. One brother survives, Mr. Wm. Cation, who resides at the historic bridge of Erin. Scotland. Among those present at the funeral, from, a distance, was Dr. T. C. Duncan of Chicago, a nephew. There are distant cousins of Mr. Cation living at Peoria, Ill., Humboldt, Kansas, Denver and San Francisco.
Mr. Cation was a quiet, modest man, respected by all who knew him, and his loved form will be sadly missed by many.
Date of birth 4/15/1819 in Arngask, Fife, Scotland
