After receiving an education in the public schools of his neighborhood, he learned the trade of glass blower, which he followed for twenty years or more in six or seven of the eastern and middle states. In 1857 he came west for a brief visit. Returning, he was married July 10, 1860, to Mary E. (Elizabeth) Scott, for thirty-five years his faithful and devoted wife. After a two years' residence in Pennsylvania, the young couple moved to Wisconsin. For two years they lived at Plainfield. They soon located on the farm where for thirty years they made their home together. Here they reared their family
and ministered to its wants. Mr. Joslin early showed his interest in the new country and its settlers by the part which he took in its social and political life. For many years he served in some public capacity in his chosen neighborhood, acting as chairman, clerk and treasurer of the town in which he lived. A little more than two years ago, his wife preceded him to the bourn from which no traveler returns. He leaves six grown up children to mourn his loss, two sons, R. S.

Damphier, of Port Edwards, Mrs. Robert Day, of Nekoosa, and Misses Irene and Cynthia Joslin, who lived with and cared for their father during his declining years. The funeral services were held Thursday afternoon, Rev. A. L. McClelland, of Nekoosa,
