Notes

  • Clinton Public (DeWitt County, Illinois) January 25, 1889 Mrs. Wealthy GIDEON, wife of Peter W. GIDEON, formerly of Clinton, died in Minneapolis, January 19, 1889, where she had gone for treatment of disease from which she had been suffering for a number of years. Mrs. Gideon's maiden name was HULL, a nd she came from Madison county, Ohio, to this county with her father, Benjamin HULL, in the fall of 1847, she then being 17 years old. Perhaps many who read this will remember her as their young teacher, as she followed teaching county school s after coming to this county until she was married to Peter Gideon, in the winter of 1848. A few years after her marriage, and after she was the mother of three children, she moved with her family to Hennepin county, Minnesota, and settled o n Lake Minnetonka, near Excelsior, where her body will repose, while we trust her spirit has returned to the God who gave it. -Courtesy of Judy Simpson
