Maron, Charles (JUL 1807 - 9 OCT 1897)

Charles Maron of Washburn Township (Clark Co., Wis.), died Tuesday, Oct. 9, 1897, of dropsy and a general breaking down from old age, aged 90 years and 3 months. He lived with a son, and had for a long time been hopelessly ill, being compelled to sit with his feet in a receptacle to catch water that dripped from sores on his limbs. He came here from Ottawa, Ill., two years ago with his son’s family, upon whom he was a helpless charge, and who did all they could to render his last days easy. The funeral will be held this afternoon, the Lutheran pastor from Granton presiding. The family have the sympathy of all.
