OBITUARY
Saturday, June 10, 1911
[Francis] Marion PORTER, one of the pioneer residents of Fulton county, died at the family home five miles southeast of Rochester, Friday evening at 11 o'clock. Three years ago last February he suffered a stroke of paralysis from which he never fully recovered and death came as a welcome relief from his suffering.
Mr. Porter was born in Fulton county nearly eighty years ago, and spent most of his life in this community. In 1849 he joined the gold seekers in California and spent seventeen years in the West, after which he returned to this county and took up his residence on the farm southeast of this city, where he has lived continuously for forty years. He enjoyed the confidence and esteem of a large circle of friends.
Mrs. Porter [Lois E. PORTER] preceded her husband in death five years ago, and the surviving members of the family are four children: Mrs. George TOBEY, Rochester; Mrs. Victor TOBEY, Logansport; Mrs. Gertrude ALLEN, Oregon, and Wayne PORTER, Oregon.
The funeral services have not been arranged, but will probably be held at the home Monday.
