The community was greatly startled on Tuesday morning on hearing that Abraham Ozanne had died very suddenly at his home southwest of the village. It was thought that he had completely recovered from a recent illness, as he went about his work as usual, not complaining at all of not feeling well. He arose early that morning and after eating his breakfast went out as usual about his work. He was found a few moments later in an unconscious condition. Dr. Valentine was quickly summoned, but the patient was beyond medical skill and passed away without regaining consciousness. The deceased was a native of the Isle of Guernsey, when he was born May 21, 1822, and emigrated to America about the year 1848, which entitles him to be classed as one the the pioneer residents of Somers. He was a member of the Episcopal church and a devout christian man. Having a great fondness for good literature, he kept his home provided at all times with books and papers of the choicest reading. Mrs. Ozanne's death occurred a few years ago, four children being born to them, three of whom are living, as follows: Mrs. Emery Bush of Somers, Mrs. Henry Uhlenberg of Kenosha and Louisa, who is at home. The funeral services were held on Friday afternoon and were conducted by Rev. W. W. Gray of the M. E. church.
