Death of Wm Uhl - Dixon, Illinois Paper
News was received by relatives here from Mrs. J. H. W. Bennett of Shenandoah, Iowa, this morning, that her father, William Uhl of Monrovia, Los Angeles county, California, died from the effects of blood poison on last Tuesday, January 19th. It will be remembered that about a year ago Mr. Uhl submitted to the amputation of a leg, from which he never fully recovered. Recently mortification attacked the other limb, which had to be taken off in the hope of prolonging his life. The operations, however, proved futile, and the patient died Tuesday, in the seventy-ninth year of his age. Mr. Uhl is well known to many of our readers, having been a citzen of Dixon, where he was for a number of years engaged in business.
Mr. Uhl was born in Alleghany county, Maryland, in 1818, and was educated in Gettysburg college, from which he graduated in 1845. He entered the ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran church and in 1851 came west, serving the church in Peru, Illinois, till 1853, when he removed to Dixon, where he organized the present Lutheran church and was its pastor for about two years, being at the same time engaged in farming. In 1860 he engaged in the milling business in our city, in which he continued until 1867. He was also financially interested in the agricultural implement trade in Dixon, and was a charter member of both the banking companies, and at various times was in officer and director of each. In 1840 he married to Lucinda Clook, by whom he has two sons and two daughter - Jonathan and Emmanuel C. Uhl; Ellen, wife of J. H. W. Bennett, and Josephine E.; wife of Z. D. Mathuss of Los Angeles, Cal. His brother, Hiram Uhl of Nachusa, and his sister, Mrs. Susan Harden of Dixon, are among the oldest and most highly respected citizens of Lee County.
∼21 Jan 1897 is the date this individual was buried in the Angelus-Rosedale Cemetery. The actual death date is not on the record. 78 is the approximate age listed in the cemetery records. The birth year was calculated with the approximate age by the cemetery.
