THOMAS MICHELSON

The Shadowy Shore.
DIED-In the city of Manitowoc, on October 14th, 1881, Thomas Michelson, son of 
Michael and Emily Michelson, in the 24th year of his age.
Thomas was born in the town of Cato, and passed all his days within the county, 
except a few months, during which he was engaged as book-keeper in the State 
institution at Waupun, a position he was obliged to relinquish on account of his 
health; lately he has been in the employ of Bibinger & Day. While his death was 
not unexpected, still it tends to sadness and gloom. When death comes swift and 
sudden, it is stunning in its effect; when it comes and lays low within a week 
robust youth and energetic manhood, it is startling; but when the grim spectre 
approaches slowly and softly, but surley, it sickens and saddens the soul. It was 
so in Tom's case. When that dread disease, consumption, fastened upon him, he knew 
there was no hope for him. Death had set its seal upon him, and his lingering life 
henceforth was but a torture. On Friday evening, after chatting in his usual jovial 
style with the friends around his bedside, he suddenly turned towards the wall, 
and with the words "Good bye, all." upon his lips, the low-burning lamp of his life 
slowly extinguished. His many friends and former companions will echo his 
"Good bye, all," with sorrowing hearts; they will ever remember his virtues, and 
cover with the soft mantle of charity his few foibles and frailties; and they will 
extend their warmest sympathy to his bereaved parents and sorrowing sisters.

Thomas Michelson of this city, died of consumption of the lungs on Friday

while in the employ of the state but was forced to quit the position on

DIED.
In this village, on Monday morning, June 4th, 1866, Mrs. Lucia Margaret Loomis, 
wife of Mr. Guy Miles; aged 37 years.
When the solemn bell tolled forth the sad tidings of Mrs. Miles’ death, how many 
who heard it will appreciate the extent of the fond husband’s bereavement. The 
being of a noble wife, and two little children (links from heaven) entwined 
themselves about the manly heart of the husband and father. His little boy—the 
father’s peculiar joy and pride, was sometime since drowned. But there was solace 
in the thought that his wife and little daughter mourned with him. That little 
daughter has since been called to her angel home among the stars. And now the 
mother, leaving a large circle of mourning friends who loved her sterling 
character and modest bearing, has gone to heaven to join her little angels there. 
But little comfort can be given in such cases, but we would point to the numerous 
friends of Mr. Miles’ little family and assure him of their united sympathy, and 
as to the departed ones, although lost on earth, he has three happy angels in 
heaven.

Or earth had profaned what was born for the skies.
