---------------------------------------- Died
Treadwell, at Swan Lake, on Friday November 8, 1881 of congestion, Dr. J. C. Treadwell, age 41 years.
-------------------------------------
The subject of this sketch was the son of Rev. Stephen Treadwell of Toledo, Dorsey County, in this state.

He graduated with distinction at the New Orleans Medical College.

Soon after the war he removed to this city, and engaged in the practice of his profession with Dr. Gillespie. After a year or so, Dr. Treadwell concluded he would remove down the river and settled near Swan Lake, where he has lived ever since until his death. He succeeded in building up a large and lacerative practice in a short while, and in the meantime married Miss Phoebe W. Clements, a beautiful and highly accomplished young lady.

Starting as a poor boy he worked him self up to eminence and fortune, and was just on the eve of removing from bottoms to a more healthy region, when death overtook him and he now sleeps in Bellwood Cemetery, near this city.

As a husband, father and physician, he discharged his duties faithfully, and with so kind and obliging a disposition that never failed to serene the esteem of all-dearest to him as well as with all with whom he came in contact. Indeed in all of his private associations his qualities were most admirable.

Dr. Treadwell was gifted with a heart that was noble, generous, and kind even to the extreme. He leaves a widow and his children.

To them his early and unexpected death has been a san and keen visitation of heaven. A void has been made in the circle of his friends and acquaintances ones which time will never fill. The many bereaved his grave token of the true and heart fill sorrow which all felt as they consigned his lifeless body to "its last and final resting place.' This with but a short warning have the hopes of a fond wife, affectionate children and a dear father been blasted the ties of friendship cut asunder and the noble and high-minded hurried into his early grave.

We weep at his death but fondly cherish the hope that he has exchanged the trouble and vexations of this life for the happiness and pleasure, which is eternal.

" GOOD MAN, FARWELL, I KNEW THEE LONG. I KNOW THEE WELL NOR SEAREE OBSERVED ONE FAULT."
