Another Old Settler Gone. 
[July 7, 1869.] 
We publish in another column the obituary of 
Hiram Dunwiddie, who died at his residence in 
the town of Jefferson, in this county, on the 17th 
of June, 1869. 
A friend of the deceased has furnished us 
with the following brief notice of his history: 
In 1843, at the age of twenty-one, he emi- 
grated to Wisconsin and settled on a farm, 
where he remained till the time of his death. 
He was a very successful farmer until his health 
failed him. He left his bereaved family suffi- 
cient property to make them comfortable. He 
was identified with the public officers of the 
county, from soon after the settlement in the 
county until within a few years of his death, as 
a member of the county board of supervisors. 
Among his friends and neighbors he always 
manifeste& a deep and lively interest in their 
welfare. In politics he was an earnest and de- 
voted member of the republican party from its 
organization. In religion he was a Baptist, and 
 
had, for many years been a member of the Juda 
Baptist Church. About six days before his 
death, he felt that his disease was culminating, 
and sent for his old friend and family physician, 
Dr. Hall, who, in company with Dr. Monroe, 
called to see him. He desired them to state to 
him, candidly, what they thought of his case. 
They informed him that he could live but a 
short time. He received the information with 
calmness and composure. He gave his family 
instructions how to manage when he was gone, 
made his will, called his family and friends 
around him, and advised them to make every 
suitable preparation to follow him. One of the 
deacons of the Church being present, he said: 
"Deacon Davis, tell Elder Patton to request the 
Juda Baptist Church to prepare to meet me in 
heaven." Elder Patton preached the funeral 
sermon, and made an eloquent appeal to the 
church to heed the admonition. 
The Shroyer Gase. 
[Sept. 29, 1869.] 
Angeline Shroyer, who was tried last week 
for the murder of Patrick Crotty, was acquitted 
by the jury after a trial of nearly four days, end- 
ing on Thursday afternoon. The court house 
was crowded most of the time during the trial, 
but the room was as quiet as a Quaker meeting, 
and the trial throughout was conducted in a 
manner which reflects credit upon this age and 
generation. District Attorney Douglas, was as- 
sisted by Messrs. Conger, of Janesville, and 
Gardner, of Monroe; and Hons. B. Dunwiddie 
and Charles G. Williams, ably conducted the de- 
fense. 
The court house was filled to suffocation when 
the announcement went forth on the tones of the 
bell, that the jury were ready to give their ver- 
dict. When the "Not Guilty" was pronounced 
by the foreman, the accused was immediately 
released fromcustody, and left the court house, 
while a smile of satisfaction was visable upon 
the faces of all present. Every one in attend- 
ance had "predicted" and "told just how it would 
be." The verdict surprised no one, and the peo
