Warren T. ATCHERSON, 1824-1904

Warren T. ATCHERSON was born at Rockingham, Vermont, October 28th, 1824;
and died at Plainville, July 22nd, 1904, of general debility, aged 79
years, 8 months and 25 days.

Mr. ATCHERSON moved west in 1855 and located on the farm at Plainville,
where he has since resided. He was married at Rockingham,before coming
west, to Miss Elizabeth FIELDS, who departed this life 26 years ago. Of
this union four children were born, of whom three survive: Mrs. Abbie
BUCKLEY of Lewiston, Wisconsin; Olive ATCHERSON of Mellen, Wisconsin, Bert
R., who has resided on the home farm with his father. One son, Lester, was
killed a number of years ago by a fall from a horse. The deceased is also
survived by two brothers, V. J. ATCHERSON of Medo, Minnesota and O. N.
ATCHERSON of Plainville.

The deceased was one of three brothers who settled at Plainville in an
early day. They were typical types of the hardy, frugal, self-reliant
pioneer. Hard-working, kind hearted and whole souled they were one of the
founders of one of the most pleasant and respected neighborhoods in this
part of the country. They dwelt there as agriculturists, subduing the soil
from the virgin forest to prolific and fine farms. From the time when the
"Old Wiscons" was full of rafts of lumber, and Plainville was a stopping
place on the river...

Mr. ATCHERSON had been a sufferer for many years, but always bravely and
with fortitude bore the pain and suffering. He was not confined to his bed
until about a week before his death.

The deceased had many peculiarities--somewhat rough, outspoken and gruff in
his deportment; but withal a good neighbor, always ready to lend a helping
hand to those in need.

Funeral services were held at the Plainville school-house, Sunday July
24th, at one o'clock, Reverend Richards of Kilbourn officiating. Interment
was in the Plainville cemetery, with fully fifty teams of mourners
following the remains to their final resting place.
