General Notes for Child George Speed
George Speed, Wisconsin pioneer, came to Wisconsin with his wife and oldest child, from New York State. They lived a year in Racine, and then farmed a few years in Columbia County. Then they settled in Juneau County, where they farmed for a short period. In 1873 they came to Barron County and took a homestead in Section 6, Dallas Township. This was all wild land, covered with heavy timber. They cleared and cultivated some of it and erected suitable buildings. Here they carried on general farming for many years.
Then they moved to Barron City. He died suddenly while attending the
funeral of the wife of his son, Walter, at Chetek. His wife died at the
home of their son, Frank, in Chetek Township. Three of their children,
Silas, Walter and Frank, lived to adult years. Silas, now deceased, was at
one time sheriff of Barron County. Walter was at one time editor of the
Chetek "Alert." He owns the farm now operated by his brother, Frank, but
spends much of his time in Oregon.

================================================
The following information from John Christeson www.findagrave.com:
George was born April 12, 1821, in New York. He died Nov. 28, 1883, in Rice Lake, aged 62 years, 7 months and 16 days, while attending the funeral of Mary I. (Aitchison) Speed, the wife of his son Walter Speed, and was buried in Wayside Cemetery. His military style gravestone is inscribed "Geo Speed Co. F. 16th Wis Inf." Another gravestone for George and his wife is inscribed "George Speed Born Apr 12, 1821 Died Nov. 28, 1883."
"Flowers left for George Speed
A Civil War veteran having served as a Corporal in Company F, 16th Wisconsin Infantry.
George enlisted October 12, 1861, at Mauston, Juneau County, Wisconsin, to serve three years as a Corporal in the 16th Wisconsin Infantry. At that time he was listed as a 41 years old, 5'9" farmer with gray eyes, brown hair and a light complexion, born in the state of New York.
During his service George was wounded at Shiloh or Pittsburg Landing when he received a gunshot wound over his left eye and a flesh wound in his right side. On October 1, 1862, he received a disability discharge at Corinth, Mississippi. The reason for his discharge was not the result of wounds, but rather from the effects of an injury received prior to his enlistment from the falling of tree, which induced constant headaches.
After his discharge, George returned to his home in Mauston, Juneau County, Wisconsin, recovered his health, and on September 19, 1864, again enlisted in Company F of the 16th Wisconsin Infantry. On July 14, 1865, he was mustered out of Federal service at Louisville, Kentucky. "

In this village, on the 27th, ult., of apoplexy. Mr. Geo. Speed, of Barron, aged 62 years.
The deceased was the father of the editor of this paper, and came down to attend the funeral of his daughter-in-law, and after accompanying the remains (to the) depot he returned to the Paradis House when he was suddenly taken with an apoplectic fit and death relieved him of his sufferings at 5 o'clock p.m. Mr. George Speed was one of the pioneer settlers of the state as well as of this county, and a man who had held many public positions of trust, and universally respected by all who knew him. The remains, accompanied by his two sons, Silas and Frank, were taken to Barron Tuesday last for interment. In the loss of his father our editor suffers a double bereavement, and it does seem that "misfortune haunts him like a hateful guest." (Note. Parentheses added by JJC.)
