- MRS. JUDITH COLEMAN DEAN was born in Byfield, Mass., March
7, 1795. Mr. and Mrs.
- DEAN removed to Emerald Grove, Rock county, Wisconsin, in
1840 This household, true to their New England heritage, believed
in going to church, and to church they went, crossing ten miles
of prairie between Emerald Grove and Milton. Mr. James W. DEAN,
a son, writes from Orange, Cal.: "It made a long day in
winter, and tried the patience of the younger members of the
family, but mother said she could not think of bringing up her
family without the help of the church. Tonight I look back over
more than fifty years and bless her for it." Mrs. DEAN is
sleeping in the pleasant cemetery at Emerald Grove.
