Son of Josiah S. Wadsworth and Mary Polly Whitman Wadsworth. Josiah Wadsworth of this city died at his home at 5 o'clock Sunday morning, Oct. 15, 1911, of paralysis. He was born in Hope, Hamilton , New York, Jan. 1, 1827, and was the fourteenth child in a family of seventeen children, only one -- a sister -- of whom survive him, Mrs. Nancy Sayles of Whitewater. When a young man of 28 in 1855, he left the old home in New York and came to Wisconsin, settling on a farm two miles southeast of Evansville, which was still in his possession at the time of his death. Dec. 14, 1870, he was united in marriage to Miss Harriet Adams and for 27 years they have lived on the farm, and there their children were born, of whom there are three, Mrs. Jennie Wilder of Madison, Mrs. Mildred Campbell of Center, Colo., and Mr. Clinton Wadsworth of Center, Colo., also a nephew of Mr. Wadsworth, Mr. Sumner Genung Wadsworth, who came to their home in infancy and who has been as one of their own. Thursday, Oct. 12, Mr. Wadsworth, who has always been a man of good health for one of his age, was suddenly stricken with paralysis. Word was immediately sent to the children, Mrs. Wilder and Miss Hattie Genung of Madison who reached his bedside in a few hours and have had the privilege of sharing with the wife and mother the care during the remaining hours of life. Mrs. Campbell and Mr. Clinton Wadsworth arrived Sunday evening. Saturday morning Mr. Wadsworth rallied and seemed better and it was hoped that he might hold out till the children could reach home. But a reaction came on Saturday evening and at 5 o'clock Sunday morning he quietly and easily passed into rest. Mr. Wadsworth was converted in a tent meeting held in a grove on his farm, conducted by Rev. M. C. Miner, then pastor of the Evansville Free Baptist church and was baptized by him and August. 14, 1898, he united with the church of which he has since been a loved and honored member. He was a kind hearted, obliging neighbor, a faithful friend, a kind and loving husband and father. He was ready and fitted for entering into real life. Funeral services were held at his late home Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. and the interment was in Maple Hill cemetery, C. H. Myers officiating. Oct 19, 1911, Evansville Review, Evansville, Wisconsin
