  	THE RACINE (WI) ADVOCATE Apr 27, 1882, page 8 Sunday night George W. Slauson, one of the oldest and wealthiest citizens, died at his home on Main Street at 9:30 o'clock, after years of sickness. Mr. Slauson, had been afflicted with inflammatory rheumatism nearly twenty years, and the last attack came on about two weeks ago which resulted in the disease going to his brain and death soon followed. He was born in Phillips Town, Putnam Co., NY, on the 10th day of July, 1837. On the 18th day of May 1838, he came to this city with his father, the late Daniel Slauson, who was one of the wealthiest and best known lumberman in the state. He inherited considerable property by the death of his father, which by hard work and perseverance he added largely to, and leaves a fortune of $100,000. He was the owner of large mills and extensive pine lands at Ogantz Bay and other northern pine lands and was also owner of the schooner Fearless. The funeral occurs this Thursday afternoon.
