Died at County Farm.
Jennie Brogden died at the county farm on Sunday and was buried on Monday. She was an unfortunate woman who was sent over from Fort Atkinson some time ago. Manager Funke has decided that hereafter, with the help of the ministers, all the unfortunates who die at the county farm shall be given a Christian buriel{sic} instead of being hurried into the ground without any ceremony.
