County Republican & Press (Neillsville, Wis.) 05/13/1915 Hungerford, Nelson
L. (28 OCT 1840 - 4 May 1915) N.L. Hungerford,
for thirty-two years a resident of Clark County, died at his home
in the town of Fremont May 4, 1915. Nelson Levi
Hungerford was born in West Brome, Province of Quebec, Canada, Oct.
28, 1840. In 1864 he was
married to Eliza Stone of Parishville, N.Y. Three children were
born to this union, Mary Gertrude, France Lucretia and Ellen
Roberts. In 1883 he moved to Nasonville, Wis., where six weeks
later his wife died. Here he engaged in the mercantile business and
later retired to his farm, where he spent the remainder of his
life. In 1886 he was united in marriage with Nettie M. Eastman of
Nasonville. He is survived by his wife and two daughters, Mrs. C.E.
Tucker of Neenah, Wis. and Ellen Hungerford, and one grandson,
Lawrence Hungerford Tucker. Six weeks ago Mr.
Hungerford was stricken with apoplexy and though not unexpected,
his death has caused profound sorrow throughout the community where
he lived, for as a neighbor and citizen he had won the love and
respect of all. Of upright
character, strict integrity and high ideals, the influence of his
life will long be felt, and as a citizen deeply interested in all
public matters and active in the promotion of any movement for the
advancement and improvement of the community, he will long be
remembered. Of superior intellect and ability he advice and
counsel, in town and other meetings was considered invaluable and
his services as a public speaker were often sought. The funeral
services were conducted by Rev. Joseph Brown of Marshfield, for
many years a close friend of the deceased, and the remains were
laid to rest in the Nasonville cemetery.
