  Death Of A Veteran Nickolas Marshal Hephner, of the First Wisconsin Cavalry, Died at His Home in This City Sunday Last The Times is called upon this week to chronicle the death of one of the most respected and beloved citizens of this county. At 5:30 o'clock, Sunday evening, October 22, 1905, Nicholas Marshal Hephner died at his home on State street in this city at the age of 78 years, 10 months and 2 days. Mr. Hephner has been in poor health since last spring and his friends and family could notice him gradually fail but they kept up hopes that he would recover and be able to be around once more. During his last sickness he never complained and was always pleased to have his old comrades and friends call and visit him. When the news of his death was announced it cast a shadow over the entire community although it was not unexpected. Marshal Hephner was born at New Lisbon, Ohio, Dec 20, 1826. In 1849 he came to Wisconsin with his parents and settled in Center, Outagamie county, where he began to carve out a home in the then dense forest. The following year April 23, 1850; he was married to Ellen Sage, at Green Bay and the young couple began life as pioneers. They succeeded in getting a good start and everything moved along smoothly until the civil war broke out when Mr. Hephner left the plow to take arms in defense of the old flag. He enlisted in Company d. of the First cavalry and was an excellent soldier. At the time of the capture of Jefferson Davis he was detailed as a guard over the prisoner and for three hours he kept watch on this noted rebel. At the close of the war he returned to Center and the following year disposed of his farm and came to this county, purchasing a farm in the town of Charlestown. He remained in that town until 1901, when he disposed of the place to one of his sons and came to this city to reside. Marshal Hephner was ideal citizen. In character kind-hearted and sincere, true and ever helpful to his family and friends. He was industrious and worked constantly but cheerfully from his early boyhood until he was by illness unable to do more. He was a devout Christian and a staunch member of St. Augustine's Catholic church. He took an active part in the building of the handsome edifice which that congregation has in this city, giving time and money to the cause. He was an ideal father and husband and made his home one that was filled with pleasure and happiness. During his last illness his family came from long distance to see him, making his last days on earth comfortable and happy. The funeral took place on Wednesday morning from St. Augustine's Catholic church and was attended by a large number of his relatives, neighbors and friends. Delegations from every town in the county and from his old home in Center were here to pay a last tribute to a friend. The Jos. B. Reynolds G. A. R. Post, of which he was a member in good standing, attended the funeral in a body and buried him with the military honors that he had earned by his faithfulness to his country and fellow men. Envy hatred and emnity had no place at his grave and whoever dies thus certainly leaves to his beloved ones a dear consoling heritage-a memory unblemished. He leaves beside his widow, four sons Peter, of Oklahoma, Michael, of Souty Dakota, John and James, of this place and four daughters, Mrs. J, H. Corcoran, of Kaukauna, Mrs. J. W. Gleason and Mrs. Edw. Barnaby, of Ironwood, Mich., and Mrs. Robt. McGrath, of Iron Mountain, Mich., also one adopted daughter, Mrs. Wm. Lavoillette, of O'Neill City, Nebr., to mourn his death.
