Mrs. Silas H. Marden died Monday night after an illness of a few weeks duration. Edith Eugenia, second daughter of Mrs. Carrie Leonard, was born in St. Albans, Vermont on Sept. 11, 1867. In infancy she came to Wisconsin with her family and lived on a farm near Elllsworth until she grew to young womanhood when she was united in marriage to Silas H. Marden who survives her. The first eighteen years of her married life were spent on their farm at Ottman's Corners. Then they moved to Shell Lake, Wisconsin and made their home in that vicinity until eight years ago when they returned to Ellsworth and purchased the farm on which they were living at the time of her death.
Two children were born to them, Stanley living at Estacada, Oregon and Mrs. Ruth Pike of Spooner, Wis. She also leaves an aged mother, Mrs. Carrie Leonard, and two sisters, Mrs. Frank Anderson and Mrs. F.L. Schofield, all of Ellsworth.
In the early twenties Flint Campbell had a filling station at Mack Lake, town of Brooklyn. He sold it to William Pike who built a good store and dance hall. After his death, his wife continued to operate it .[Truax desc.FTW]
