  WILLIAM D. AMES, deceased, whose death occurred in November, 1898, at Appleton, was living retired after many years of labor as a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He was born at Pittsford, New York, October 25, 1832, a son of Henry and Anna E. (Wheeler) Eames, the former of Massachusetts and the latter of New York. The family was founded in this country by Thomas Eames, who came from England to Massachusetts in 1630. Henry Eames was an early settler of Michigan, and here he and his brothers dropped the letter "e" from the surname, though it is still retained by the family in Massachusetts. William D. Ames received his education in the schools of Hudson, Mich., and later he attended Garrett Biblical Institute, at Evanston, Illinois. From 1859 until 1895 he was a member of the Methodist Episcopal ministry, most of this time being spent in Wisconsin. He had charges at Hartford, Menasha, Grand Rapids, Stevens Point, Edgerton and Fox Lake, besides many other pastorates, and in 1884 he organized the Kaukauna Church. In 1895 he retired from activities and located in Appleton, where his death occurred in November, 1898. He was married in August, 1857, to Martha Jane, daughter of Asahel and Mary Bailey, of Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. His wife died in 1863, leaving a daughter, Mary, who married Julius Leidenberg and resides at Shawano, Wisconsin. He was married again in December, 1864, to Abbie Fellows, daughter of Joseph and Marian (Marks) Fellows, of De Peyster, New York, who came to Wisconsin in 1846. They settled in Kenosha county, where Mr. Fellows, who was a carpenter by trade, became a successful farmer. Seven children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Ames, as follows: J. W. T., superintendent of the high school at River Falls; Dr. E. R., of Knoxville, Iowa; Edith A. and Alberta E., who are engaged in teaching school in Appleton; Eva, who married Arthur Hansen of Chicago; Ernest W.; and one child who died in infancy. During three months of the Civil War, Mr. Ames was chaplain of the Forty-first Wisconsin Volunteers, and throughout his life he was a popular comrade of the Grand Army of the Republic. He also held membership in the Odd Fellows and the Masons. Ryan, Thomas
