1. | Shearer Adam Jr. was born in 1856 in Brooklyn, NY, USA (son of Shearer Adam Sr. and Shearer Mary); died on 11 Dec 1886 in Twn Spring Brook, Dunn County, WI, USA; was buried in Iron Creek Cmtry, Twn Spring Brook, WI, USA. Notes: Adam Shearer jr. is the son of Adam and Mary Shearer. He has one sister Mary Shearer who married Christian Coach. He was born in Brooklyn NY. His family moved to Eau Claire approx. 1866. He died of consumption (pulmonary tuberculosis). My father Richard Shearer always said he died of pheumonia crossing the marsh (at the lower end of our farm) on his way back from Eau Claire. If this is correct I suspect he was visiting his mother (Mary Shearer), sister (Mary & Christian Coach), and the nephews & niece. Adam married Harley Matilda Beguhn on 19 Aug 1878 in Eau Claire, Eau Claire, WI, USA. Matilda (daughter of Beguhn John and Harley Jacobina) was born on 25 Oct 1864 in Twn Spring Brook, Dunn County, WI, USA; died on 30 Oct 1909 in Twn Spring Brook, Dunn County, WI, USA; was buried in Iron Creek Cmtry, Twn Spring Brook, WI, USA.
