In 1871 they came to Clark County and started on a new farm near Christie, and there they passed through all the struggles and privations of pioneers. Seventeen years ago Mr. Demouth died. Some years ago Mrs. Demouth went west and had a new pioneer experience of taking a claim and living for a time on the prairies. Recent years she has made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Nutting of Park Falls.
