The Kewaunee Enterprise
Friday, 26 August, 1881

         JOHN P. HUME, editor and proprietor of the Chilton
       Times, is no more among the living. He died at his
       home in Chilton on Tuesday morning of this week, after
       a painful illness, in his 43d year. The funeral took
       place yesterday under the auspices of the Masonic fra-
       ternity. JOHN P. HUME'S popularity was not alone con-
       fined to Chilton nor to Calumet county, but he enjoyed
       an extensive acquaintance with many Wisconsin people,
       and especially among the editors of this State was he
       esteemed for his many good traits of character. His
       paper was always racy when he was at its tiller, and
       his readers will sadly miss the life he infused into
       it. We never enjoyed the pleasure of his acquaintance,
       except through the weekly visits of his newspaper, and
       through its columns we learned to esteem JOHN HUME for
       his proverbial kindness and magnaminity. He has often
       verified in his paper the statement we heard a friend
       of his make, "that there never was a truer, nobler or
       bigger-hearted Irishman than JOHN HUME." May the grass
       remain emerald always over this good man's grave.
