DEATHS

SLAWSON - Frederic Fitch Slawson, for more than half a century a prominent resident of Waukesha, died at his home on Broadway, Jan. 13, after a long illness, aged 82 years. He was born in Orange County, New York, in April 1817. His ancestors were among the pioneers of Connecticut, settling at Stanford in 1634. He spent his boyhood and youth in the vicinity of the noble Hudson River. In 1837, he married at Newburgh, New York to Sarah J. Lockwood. In 1840, he came to Wisconsin on a tour of inspection with the view of making the west his home. In 1847, he arrived with his family at Waukesha, then Prairieville, and for many years was closely identified with the growth of the village and well known to many old settlers all over the county. he served on the village board, and also held the office of town and village treasurer. He became an Odd Fellow in the early fifties, being one of the first to unite with that order and probably a charter member. As long as he was able to attend the meetings of Prairie Lodge he delighted to do so. he is survived by his wife and two children, F.M. Slawson of this city and Miss A. A. Slawson of Milwaukee. A daughter, Mrs. S.G. Curtis, died in '93, his son, Eugene, in 1896. His eldest son, Capt. Chas. B. Slawson, served with distinction in the 28th Wisconsin during the civil war and died in St. Paul in 1879.
Funeral services for Mr. Slawson were held at the house Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. I.L. Cory. A quartette, Messrs. Hayes, Gaul, Thompson and Trakel, sang. Interment was in Prairie Home cemetery.
In Mr. Slawson's death, Waukesha loses another of its honored pioneers, an honest genial, kind=hearted man, who had few enemies and many friends.
