Special to the Gazette
Porter, Sept. 24.
Edward Ford, for over half a century a resident of the town of Porter, died at his home here yesterday afternoon at five o'clock. The deceased was born in Kilkenny, Ireland, October 2, 1834, and came to this country at the age of about four years. His parents settled near Milwaukee and he remained with them until he was 18 years old, when he came to Rock county and settled. He has since resided here.
Mr. Ford had been ill for the past seven weeks with paralysis, and his death was hastened by the death of his wife about three weeks ago. He was married in 1871 to Mary Smith and nine children were born to them of whom six are now living. They are Margaret, Edward and John Ford of Porter, Mrs. Edward Fox of Leyden, Mrs. Lawrence Barrett, of Center and Mrs. Jud McCarthy of Cooksville. The funeral will be held Wednesday morning at ten o'clock from St. Michael's church in Porter.
The deceased was a man highly respected in the community, and was held high in the esteem of all for his sterling qualities. He was a kind and loving husband and father, and a true friend and neighbor.
