His Obituary,
GLEASON Ransom
Ransom GLEASON, d. 1883
Surname: GLEASON
From the Adams County Press, Saturday March 31, 1883, P6C3
Died--GLEASON--At his residence in the town of Monroe, Adams county, Wisconsin, on the 7th of February, 1883, Ransom
GLEASON, of consumption, after a lingering illness, aged 60 years, 4 months and 6 days. He was a native of the State
of New York, and removed with his family to Wisconsin 28 years ago last June, and settled at Spring Creek and always
remained a resident of what is now the Town of Monroe, except a short time that he lived at Grand Rapids. For over 20
years he was a great sufferer. No one but himself and his God knew the suffering he endured, though he kept about the
greater part of the time attending to his business. Four years ago he was thrown from his cutter and broke his hip,
which left him so crippled, that it was with difficulty that he could go about even with a crutch. When about 20 years
of age he became converted to God and soon became a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, always remaining a
devoted member, and was for many years an official member until called by death to the church on high. He was a devoted
husband, a kind father and a faithful friend. He leaves a lonely widow, two daughters and three sons, besides a large
circle of friends to mourn his departure.
