1835, removing to Nichols where he engaged in farming. Later he removed to Owego, where he died in 1859. His wife
survived him, dying in 1886. Among their children were Augustus S., of Owego, Esther (Mrs. Joel Gould) of Owego,
Lydia Deuel (Mrs. Frank Mills) of Nichols, and Amos E. Deuel, who, born at Canandaigua, N. Y., April 12, 1835,
married Emily, a daughter of William and Lovisa (Eaton) Brown, in 1856, and, settling in Owego, engaged in the
boot and shoe trade. In 1862 Mr. Deuel enlisted in Company C., 109th New York volunteers, and was discharged in

continually from that time. Mr. Deuel is a member of Ahwaga Lodge of Free Masons, and of the local Grand Army post.
