Died, Zabina Child, Nov. 5, 1887, at the residence of his son, S. P. Child, of Blue Earth City, Minn., of dropsy and inflammation of his stomach. He was a contractor and builder by trade, and was a life-long pioneer. He was born in Windsor county, Vt., November 22, 1808. At the age of twenty he went to St. Lawsrence county, New York, working at his trade in the village of Canton and vicinity. He made his home with his father, Daniel Child, in De Kalb, St. Lawrence county, until his marriage to Orrilla Rice, of Jefferson county, N.Y., Feb. 14, 1833. In 1834 he removed to Ohio by horse team and wagon, with his young wife and one child, and settled near Medina, then a pioneer settlement. He remained there until about 1837, when a failure of crops and the general hard times of that period induced him to return to his old home in the state of New York. There he settled on a small farm with his family, where he remained until 1843, when he again went to Ohio, remaining in Perry, Lake county, about a year. He then removed with his family to the territory of Wisconsin, stopping at Sheboygan a few weeks, and afterwards locating in Dodge county, Wis., near Waupun. He afterwards lived in Herman, Dodge county, and later settled in Outagamie county, near Appleton.

Zabina, father of James E., was born Nov. 22, 1808, in Vermont, and at the age of fourteen years was apprenticed to learn the carpenter and joiner trade. At the age of twenty, having one year more to serve, he bought his time of "Boss" Dustin, and went to St. Lawrence county, N.Y., where he worked as contractor and builder. He married Miss Orrilla Rice (originally Roice), of Jefferson county, N.Y., Feb. 14, 1833, and they settled in the town of DeKalb. Orrilla was a native of Jefferson county and was born March 2, 1810, being one of the younger children of Eneas Rice by his second wife, whose maiden name was Sarah Paramenter. Both Eneas and Sarah were natives of Connecticut. Eneas was of Scotch parentage and Sarah of English stock. Rice was a Revolutionary soldier and was present at the surrender of Burgoyne's army at Saratoga, Oct. 17, 1777. He was the father of nineteen children and died at the age of seventy-five years. Grandfather Parmenter was also a soldier of the Revolution.
Zabina and Orrilla were the parents of seven children: James Erwin, born in Jefferson coutny, N.Y., Dec. 19, 1833; Simeon Potter, born in Medina, Ohio, Nov. 16, 1835; Sarah Minerva, born in Ohio, Aug. 23, 1837; Reuben Parmenter, born in DeKalb, N.Y., Aug. 10, 1840; Julia Maria, born in DeKalb, N.Y., Oct. 26, 1842; Stephen Rice, born in Trenton, Dodge county, Wis., July 2, 1848; and John Benton, born near Appleton, Wis., Aug. 14, 1854. John B. died in his native town Nov. 21, 1861. Zabina moved with his family in 1834 from his New York home to Madina, Ohio, by horse team. Ohio was then a new country. There was a severe drough and extremely hard times about 1836-7, and the family returned to DeKalb, N.Y., in the fall of 1837. They remained there on a farm until 1844 when they again moved to Ohio--this time to the town of Perry, Lake county. The next spring, leaving his family in Perry, the father pushed on to Wisconsin, where he worked during the season and sent for his family in the fall. The mother and children, late in the fall, took boat at Fairport and after a stormy passage landed in Sheboygan, the last days of November, 1844. The father had already selected a claim, in Dodge county, Wis., five miles south of Waupun, and in January, 1845, moved his family thither. He remained in Dodge county--a part of the time in the town of Herman--until 1853, when he removed with his family to Ontagamie county, near Appleton, Wis.
