Death of an Old Settler
Dr. George Breckenridge, an old settler and physician of this city, died at his residence late Monday, in the 74th year of his age. Dr. Breckenridge was among the early settlers of Jefferson County. He located himself in the village of Fort Atkinson nearly eighteen years ago, but shortly afterwards moved to this city and engaged in the practice of his profession. During the past few years he has lived a quiet and retired life on his well-cultivated farm, a short distance from this city. The last public office he held was that of supervisor, having been chosen a year ago this spring to represent his ward at the County Board. He was an upright and respected citizen — a member of the Congregational Church — and both deserved and enjoyed the confidence and esteem of all who knew him.
