In the last issue of The Times a brief mention was made of the death. of 
John Grogan, one of the prominent farmers of the town of Stockbridge, 
who passed away on Thursday, March 16th, at the age of fifty years. 
John Grogan was a native of Sheboygan county and was born in 
the town of Russell, that county, April 15, 1861. He spent his 
boyhood in that neighborhood where he worked on his father's farm and 
attended the public school. In 1887 he was married to Caroline 
Frankman and they moved onto a farm in that neighborhood and 
remained there until 1895 when he purchased what is known as the 
Martin homestead on the Military Road, Stockbridge and soon became 
an influential factor in the community. His wife died in 1905, 
leaving to his care seven children. He was faithful to the trust and 
brought up his family in a creditable manner. He was widely known 
throughout Stockbridge and the adjoining towns and possessed a 
faculty for making friends and retaining them. He was a man of 
generous impulse' and took great pleasure in doing good for others 
and while he would always freely express his opinion of public 
question he accorded to every other man the same right and respected 
the person who differed with him, when he knew him to be 
conscientious and honest. He was devoted to his family, who will sadly 
miss his care and counsel, No one could ask for a better neighbor for 
he was always among .the first of offer his service when necessity 
required it. His home was open to his friends and all who accepted his 
hospitality were given a genuine welcome. For two years he served
his town as assessor and his work was done fearlessly and honestly 
being true always to the trust placed in him. 
He was a member of the E.F.U. in good standing. He was a member of 
the Catholic church and from the time he located at Stockbridge until 
his illness. which he contracted some five months ago, took an 
active part in the church work. 
The funeral was held on Monday morning from St. Mary's church, 
Requiem Mass being celebrated by Very Rev. Fr. N. July, with interment 
in the family lot in St. Mary's cemetery. He is survived by four 
sons, James, Bernard, Leo, Justine, and three daughters, Bertha, Carrie 
and Monica. He is also survived by three brothers, James of Los 
Angeles, Patrick of St. James,Minn., and Math of Belle Rapids, South 
Dakota and one sister, Mrs. 'rhos. O. Gallagher of Oconto Falls, all of 
whom were present at the funeral, except James, who was unable to 
attend.

John Grogan and Caroline Frankman were married at St. Ann's on
24 Jan. 1888. This same photo also appears in the 1967 Schomisch
family history book. John (born 15 April 1860) was the youngest
son of Matthew and Elizabeth Grogan (another town of Russell 
pioneer family from LeRoy, New York). In 1886 John's parents,
Matthew and Elizabeth, sold their farm to their son John and
Matthew went to Minnesota with three of his sons, while Elizabeth
remained on the farm with John. Caroline Frankman (born 12 July
1867) was the daughter of James Frankman and Ann "Nancy" Keenan.
In 1894 John and Caroline sold their farm in Russell and bought
a larger property in Stockbridge. When Caroline died in 1905 at
the age of 37 she left behind 7 children ranging in age from
six months to 15 years. Six years later, her husband died in 1911.
