Breed, Henry (J.H.) (20 SEP 1855 - 12 AUG 1914)

(Vashon, Wash., News)

In the death of J.H. Breed at his home near Vashon at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 12, 1914, the community lost one of its most estimable citizens. He had lived here for ten years, and by his generous acts and willingness to always help a neighbor he made a host of friends who will miss him very much.

The funeral was held from his late residence, being conducted by the Modern Woodmen of America, of which organization he was a member. Interment was held in the Vashon Cemetery.

Mr. Breed was born in Chilton, Calumet, Co., Wis., on Sept. 20, 1855. He married Miss Augusta Tesmer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Tesmer, in Colby, Clark Co., Wis., on May 15th, 1880. They made their home in Dorchester, Clark Co. for 22 years, and came to Vashon in September 1904.

A wife and seven daughters survive him, namely, Mrs. Andrew Olsen, Ogema, Wis., Mrs. George Marcott, Mrs. C.L. Tjomsland, Mrs. Mollie Henderson, Misses Imogene, Ethel and Edna Vashon. Also three sisters, Mrs. Helen Miller, Groton, S.D., Mrs. Thomas Morgan, Waupaca, Wis., Mrs. Frank Fox, Chilton, Wis.
