           Death of an Old Settler by freezing.
        - The mail carrier from Eagle Harbor, brought us
        the sad news that RENSSELEAR MARSHALL, SEN'R and
        old resident of the Bay Settlement, in Brown
        County, and who has many relatives in Door County,
        was found dead in his sail boat last week at Eagle
        Island, near the village of Ephraim, in the northern
        part of this county. It appears that he left near
        Eagle Harbor late in the afternoon to go to Fish
        Creek, and for some reason instead of going on,
        put in under the South point of the Island, cast
        out his anchor, and rolling himself up in part of
        his sail went to sleep. On that night it turned
        very cold, and a snow storm coming on, probably
        after he went to sleep, it is supposed he must
        have frozen to death in the night, and slept to
        him alms the sleep of death. The unfortunate man
        was not discovered for two or three days after
        the sad occurrence, when his body was conveyed
        to his friends.
