[HEWES CHILD DIES--DONATION PARTY POSTPONED]
Brandon Times, February 9, 1882

   Rev. J. P. Hewes and wife of Fairwater have the sympathy of many friends in the loss of their youngest child, which died last Thursday. The funeral took place on Saturday, the remains being taken to Hortonville, their old home, for burial.

   The donation party for the benefit of Rev. J. P. Hewes, at Fairwater, which was to have taken place last evening, has been postponed until Wednesday evening of next week on account of the death of Mr. Hewes' child. Under the circumstances the people over there should be unusually liberal.
