GEORGE ALVIN SCHAAR George Alvin Schaar, son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Schaar, living a half mile south of the village, was called home to the great unknown at four o’clock Sunday morning, November 28th. He was born 24 years, 1 month and 9 days ago in the town of Charlestown. He went to school until his tenth year when, on account of epilepsy taking a grim hold on him, he was taken from school and remained at home with his parents. For fourteen long years this young man has born his sickness with a fortitude and patience that has astonished those about him. Although his life was very dull at times his parents, brothers and sisters saw to it that he was well taken care of and helped to instill sunshine into his existence. The funeral was held from the home of his parents Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock and his remains were interred in the New Holstein cemetery. Rev. Th. Schildknecht officiated Calumet County Reporter, December 8, 1909
HUGO SCHAAR Rarely had death in our community called forth expressions of regret and sorrow, at one so universal and genuine, as that of Hugo Schaar, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Schaar. Almost like a flash of lightning from a cloudless sky fell the news that he had undergone an operation, to be followed within two days by the sad intelligence that he had died. Friday evening, March 2nd, he returned from his practice at the Turner hall, complaining to his mother of a pain in the region of his appendix. This at first gave time to a rumor that he had injured himself while going through the exercises with his class. But this proved unfounded, and it shortly became clear that his was a severe case of appendicitis, and that an operation would be necessary. The operation was performed Wednesday when it was found peritonitis had set in, and Friday evening, March 9th, death ensued. Hugo Helmuth Schaar was born in the town of Stockbridge, February 8th, 1901. Shortly after his parents removed to this village where the deceased spent his childhood and boyhood days. He attended the village school, and in September 1916 entered upon his high school course. From earliest childhood, he took a deep interest in the Turn-Schule and rarely missed an evening of practice. With eagerness he anticipated his participation in the State Bezirke-Turnfest to be held in June, when he would be permitted to compete as a member of the class of active turners in the prize contests. But this ambition he was destined not to realize, his enthusiasm for the cause of turning and his regularity at the evenings for practice will long linger in the memory of the school. He was also an enthusiastic Boy Scout, and was always active in furthering the aims and work of the organization. He was a boy of singularly happy and sunny disposition, and had a hearty greeting for all and whenever an opportunity presented itself, he was ever ready and willing to do a favor for any one. These traits endeared him to all, and his untimely death is deeply mourned by all who know him. Funeral services were held at the Turner hall, Wednesday afternoon, in the presence of a large concourse of friends of the deceased and the bereaved family. W. H. Luehr, his former principal, paid a touching tribute to his memory. Besides his sorrowing parents, two sisters, Mrs. Chas F. Holtz, of Chilton and Miss Linda of this village; three brothers; Louis, Reno and Ludolph all of New Holstein survive. The Boy Scouts of Kiel, Chilton and New Holstein and his classmates followed the remains of their comrade to their last resting place to the New Holstein Cemetery.

ANNA SCHMIDT After a lingering illness of several weeks duration, Mrs. Willie Schmidt was relieved from her suffering at her home one mile west of this village on Tuesday, Feb. 3rd at 8 o’clock in the morning. During the last month and especially so during the past week her illness caused her much distress and in spite of medical skill and the kind ministrations of friends and neighbors she suffered most intensely at times.

When death enters a home his visitation is always accompanied by sorrow and a dark shadow hovers where once dwelt happiness. Even though we realize that his coming brings relief to a sufferer, the thought of parting from a beloved member of the family, especially, from a dutiful wife, a devoted daughter and loving sister, always fills our hearts with infinite sorrow and grief and reason as you may, the pain caused by this parting remains, and only the gentle hand of time can assuage it. Funeral services, conducted by Rev. Lansberger, were held on Friday afternoon at the Reformed Church, where the choir rendered two beautiful songs and a large audience gave witness of the high esteem which the deceased was held by all that knew her. May her rest be as peaceful as her life has been. Calumet County Reporter, February 21, 1914
