Obit. says New York
Obituary, Sumner News Index, March 21, 1930
Mrs. Emily Duxbury died at the Puyallup Valley hospital Saturdy, March 15, at the age of 87 years, two months and two days. She had been a resident of Sumner for 26 years, coming here from Pipestone Co., Minn., where she had lived for 5 years. Previous to that time she had made her home for a number of years in South Dakota. Her native state was New York.
Mrs. Duxbury was in many ways a remarkable woman. She knew the diffucult life of earlier times on the prairies; her family walked or drove many miles to church services winter and summer. She was always faithful in her Christian life and church duties, and only within the past two years have increasing infirmities kept her from her place in the church. She was a member of the W.C.T.U. for many years, and of the Sumner Methodist church for a quarter of a century.
Surviving relatives are five daughters and one son; Mrs. Mary McGowan(Mary Ellen, later referred to as "Aunt Ella" and Mrs. Lona Jamison of Sumner, Mrs. Esther McGowan of White, S.D., Mrs. Susie Green of Tolt, Mrs. Ada Jones of Chehalis and Fred Duxbury of Wessington, S.D. There are 88 grandchildren, 41 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild.
Funeral services were held at the Methodist church Monday at 2 p.m. under the direction of the Elmore Mortuary. The memorial was given by Rev. Harry L. Allen, Rev. F.S. Pearson of Tacoma, and Dr. Roy Sprague of Tacoma, former pastors assisting in the services. Interment was in the Sumner cemetery.

Information from Hazel Fritschen indicates Emily was from Dutch Colony.

See notes under Edward Duxbury
Pneumonia
Waterside, Colne,Lancaster
Aug. 30 according to obituary
Birth date according to history written by Ron Duxbury lists January 12, 1854. Peter has 1849.

William H. Duxbury was born in the town of Porter, Rock County, Wisconsin, on January 12, 1854. His father, Edward, was born in England and came to America in 1849. William, with his parents and his four brohers and two sisters moved to Preston, Fillmore County, Minnesota, in February of 1866. There on March 13, 1881, he married Cassie Henderson of nearby Harmony.
In the early days of June, 1882, he with brothers Benjamin and Thomas, filed on land in Miner County, pitched their tents and built shacks on land 1 1/2 miles north of where Canova now stands. Their settlement was known as the Three Cabins. After breaking and building the land, they returned to their home in Fillmore County with William driving through by team.
The first days of December saw them again in their shanties but with the temperature 27 below with a strong wind and such little shelter it drove them back again to Minnesota to await the coming of spring. About the middle of March 1883 they were again on the ground ready for work and war. War being declared by two sooners contesting Tom and Ben's claim. Tom being a crack shot with a Winchester, soon convinced the claim jumpers who was in the right. Now in indisputable possession of the land, they devoted their attention to the arts of peace--batching, breaking, sowing and planting.
The season of 1883 was a fruitful one in southeastern South Dakota and thei raised good crops of wheat, oats and sod corn. This was the summer that the Milwaukee railroad extended west from Howard, the Northwestern was put through and Canova started.
The three brothers knew well the men who platted the town site. They were present and took part in the introductory ceremonies when Canova, "The Wild Prairie Rose", was born. They were present when the first building was erected. It was on a Sunday and the building was hauled up in five sections from a country post office called Nelson, eight miles east. It served Canova as a kind of restaurant. Shortly afterwards Cooley and Bassford began the construction of a store building which was barely complete and partly stocked when it was struck by lightning and burned to the ground together with the goods--a total loss. Mr. Bassford rebuilt and continued to be the leading merchant of Canova for several years.
At the close of the summer Tom and Ben became homesick, advertised to prove up and in September returned to Preston. Tom visited Canova many times in later years and on one visit, together with brother William, Bige Sisson and W.E. Leonard took a prominent part in fencing and platting the Canova Cemetery.
Tom was the pitcher for the home team in the first game of baseball ever played in the town. He set down the fast, famous Grasshopper team from west of Canova 33 to 1 with his wicked inshoot. Their next victims were the Howard Giants who were trimmed by a ratio of 2 to 1. The team disbanded after meeting their Waterloo at the hands of the Salem Sluggers 4 to 1.
Places of residence: Great Harwood, Blackburn, Lancashire, England. Salem, Mass. Edgerton, Wisc.
Came to US in Jan. or Feb. 1848.
Lived at Lidget at the time of Richard's christening in Great Harwood. Also in 1831 at the time of William and Ann's christening.

Some question as to birth date--1798 or 1799
Newton-Moor may have been absorbed in the present day city of Hyde--noted by Doris Forkin,from an old geographical dictionary of England.

He has resided in Edgerton for some ten years with his daughter, and was universally esteemed and respected by all who knew him, and his friends were legion.
He leaves eight children, six sons and two daughters, all of them married, to mourn his death. His oldest son and daughter died some years since.
His illness was of short duration, and his death came easy, with comparatively little suffering, dropping off as though going to sleep.
The funeral services took place at the residence of Mrs. Naiden, on Thursday at 10 A.M., Eld. Teeter officiating, and his remains were laid to rest in the Edgerton cemetery.
Mr. Duxbery retained his full mental faculties until but a short time before his demise, showing but little signs of advanced age. Peace to his ashes.
