John Perry Marlette
Another pioneer resident of Dunn County, a civil war veteran, and one of the early Stanton citizens, who had lived continuously on the old homestead southeast of the city since 1875, was called to the great beyond on Wednesday morning at 6:05, August 25, 1915.
Ever since his beloved wife passed away on Sept 14, 1913, he had been in feeble health. Those near him noticed the steady decline, yet he was always cheerful and by sheer will power was able to be about. On Wednesday he seemed his usual self, but at 11 o'clock that evening he fell from his bed, striking on his head. At 2 O’clock the same evening while attempting to arise from his bed he suffered another fall. From this time and on he was restless and his ebbing strength and the shock of the two falls he had received hastened his end.
Dr. DeWane was summoned on Thursday evening and stated that the end was but a mere matter of time. Drs, DeWane and BeeBe were called again on Friday afternoon but were unable to aid the veteran in h is last great struggle. The end came peacefully Wednesday morning at the break of day.
John Perry Marlette was born in Canada, November 20, 1839m moving to Oswego County, NY near Fulton when a little boy. He lived there until he had attained his manhood when he came west and settled at West Albany, Minnesota. He married to Mary Jane Jinks December 17, 1861 and nine children came to bless this union: Ettie Jean, Oran D, Effie G, Le Nettie Sofrona, William Henry, Albert Sidney, Mary E, John LeRoy and Ida May. Eight of them survive him. Etta Jean dying in 1866
Deceased was a private in Co, C, 2nd regiment Minnesota Volunteers, Infantry. Entering the army in ’64. Almost immediately after joining the union forces, he was captured and was held at the Andersonville and Libby prisons. He was honorably discharged at the close of the great struggle, and rejoined his family at West Albany Minnesota.
In 1866, he moved to the old homestead near Connersville, now owned by his son Orin Marlette, living there until 1875 when he moved to this late home in Stanton.
The funeral was held at the Marlette home Friday forenoon at 10 O’clock August 27th, Rev Sainty of Downing, officiating. Hundreds of sorrowing friends and neighbors of the deceased were in attendance and paid their last respects to the dead. The casket was heaped with floral offerings and was taken to the family lot at Connersville where it was interred beside the remains of his wife.
Cline Gobler, Fred Shafer, Jake Wisemiller, Ole Bosshart, FC Grutt, and Albert Wisemiller were pall bearers.
At this dark hour when sorrow reigns supreme we bow in all humbleness to the unseen hand of death that has removed from out midst a kind and loving neighbor. The grassy sound that marks his last resting spot shall ever be reverenced. To the bereaved children we extend our heartfelt sympathy.

Andrew Tainter
DEATH OF CAPT. TAINTER
The Millionaire Lumberman of Menomonie Passes Away.
WAS ILL EIGHT DAYS
His Remains Now on the Way to His Former Home for Burial - A Notable Career.
Rice Lake, Oct. 18 - (Special) - Capt. Andrew Tainter died at the Lake house this morning at 3:30 o'clock, after a severe siege of pneumonia of eight days' duration. His body was taken to his home at Menomonie, Dunn county, this afternoon.
Capt. Andrew Tainter was born July 6, 1823, in Salina, N.Y., where his childhood days were spent. In 1832 the family moved West to join Dr. Stephen Tainter, Capt. Tainter's father, who was at that time at Prairie du Chien. From Buffalo to Mackinaw the trip was made by schooner, while the rest of the voyage was made in a birch-bark canoe to Green Bay and from there in a keelboat up the Fox river to Fort Winnebago. At the latter place a portage of three miles was made to the Wisconsin river, which they descended to Brunet ferry, where they were met by the father, Dr. Tainter, who took them with an ox team to his home. Andrew attended school in Prairie du Chien and then worked awhile for Ed. Pelton. Having small opportunity to exercise those great business qualities which distinguished him in later life, and being of an energetic, restless and fearless disposition, he was induced to go into the pineries. In August, 1845, he went to Chippewa Falls, followed an Indian trail for sixty miles and made hay that summer under a contract. That fall he went to Galena on a raft and from there to Kickapoo to visit his father. At Prairie du Chien he met Beau Brunson, who owned a mill at Chippewa Falls. He worked for him for $20 a month for a little over a year. In the autumn of 1846 he came to the Menomonie river, where he made laths in partnership with Blois Hurd. In the spring he, together with Hurd, operated a mill on Irvin creek. In 1850 he bought a one-third share in the John H. Knapp & Wilson firm, with which firm he has been connected ever since. For several years Capt. Tainter ran the firm's steamboat on the Chippewa river.
Capt. Tainter has been a benefactor to Menomonie in many ways. He presented the city with a public library and memorial hall in memory of his dead daughter, Mabel Tainter. The building is of stone and was furnished entirely by him.
