In the city of Berlin, Green Lake Co., Wis., Sept. 1st, 1867, Oliver Champlin, aged 66 years. The deceased was born in Rhode Island, and was well known in his younger days in Westerly. He was the son of Capt. Adam Champlin, also familiarly known in that section. The occupation of Oliver, while in his minority, alternated between labor on the farm and making voyages to sea, but after his majority he made farming his business. He went to Allegany Co., N. Y., the then west, where he married, and lived several years. In 1844, he, with his family, emigrated to the territory of Wisconsin, and remained in the vicinity of Milton until 1847, when he joined the few families of Sabbath-keepers forming the since Berlin Church, in which locality he lived at the time of his death. At about middle life he professed religion and connected himself with the Seventh-day Baptist Church at Dodge Creek, and subsequently with the First Church in Genesee, from which I am told he never removed his standing. D. E. L.
