At his home in the town of Chilton, on Tuesday, Nov. 7, 1893, Adam Knickerbocker, aged 70 years, 4 months and 2 days. Mr. Knickerbocker was one of the pioneer settlers of the town of Chilton, coming into that town in the early fifties. He was an energetic man and succeeded in securing a fair share of worldly goods. In April last he sustained a stroke of paralysis from which he had never fully recovered and which no doubt was the cause of his death. He was a kind and obliging neighbor, a devoted husband and father, and died as he lived, an honest, upright man. He was born July 5, 1823, at Pine Plains Duchess county, New York, and resided in that state until he came to Wisconsin. His funeral took place on Thursday. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Woodward, of Stockbridge. His remains were taken to the family burial lot in the Brant cemetery. A wife, two sons, two daughters and a host of friends are left to mourn his death.
