MICHAEL BARTELME (d. 1905) MICHAEL BARTELME DIES AT THE AGE OF 86 He Was One of the Widely Known Bartelme Twins Last Friday afternoon Michael Bartelme died at the homestead he created in his younger days in the town of Gibson, which is now in possession of his son, Peter. He was one of a pair of twins brothers, probably the oldest twins in the state as their 86th birthday was celebrated last April. They were born in Alsace but emigrated to America in 1849 and settled on a tract of government land in New Denmark. Afterwards, Michael Bartelme purchased a tract of land in the western part of the Town of Gibson, which he cleared up and improved. Here he continued to live until the death of his wife, which took place about 8 years ago, since which time he has lived with his son-in-law, Walter Pellet of Manitowoc and his daughter-in-law, Mrs. M. Bartelme of this city. He was a loveable old man, kind and gentle towards others and generous and charitable in all things. He left the home of his son-in-law about a week previous to his death, without giving any intimation of his intentions and rode out to the old homestead with a farmer whom he knew. His daughter, becoming somewhat alarmed at his absence and thinking that he had, perhaps gone on a visit to his son, Peter, drove out to the old homestead and found him and concluded to leave him there for a few days visit. He seemed to want to stay and so she drove home without him. It is possible that an invisible hand led him back to the old home and here, as though decreed by an All-Wise Providence, without any previous pain or suffering, he sank into the dreamless sleep that knows no waking. The funeral took place at the Cooperstown Church yesterday morning and he was buried by the side of his wife in the country churchyard adjoining. His surviving children are Mrs. John Reinhart of this city and Mrs. Walter Pellet of Manitowoc and three sons, John of Menominee, Peter of Gibson and Balther of Merrill. Chas.

In addition to a twin brother, Mr. Bartelme leaves 2 sons and 2 daughters. The funeral was held Mon. in Cooperstown. Der Nord Westen, 17 Aug. 1905 ******** The late Michael Bartelme, and his Twin Brother. Michael Bartelme, a pioneer resident of the county, died last Friday at the farm home of his son, Peter Bartelme, in the town of Gibson, where he had been visiting for a week. He was eighty-seven years old. The decedent was a native of Germany. He together with his wife, came to America fifty-six years ago, settling on a farm in the town of New Denmark, Brown county. In 1873 the family removed to Green Bay. Several years later they removed to the town of Gibson, this county, settling on the farm now owned and conducted by a son of the deceased, the farm where the deceased breathed his last on Friday. After the farm became the homestead of the decedent's son Peter, the aged couple removed to Kingsbridge, where Mrs. Bartelme died. The aged man then removed to this city where he had since made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Walter Pellett. About a year ago the decedent celebrated the eighty-seventh anniversary of his natal day with his twin brother Christopher of Chicago who came here for the reunion, which continued for several days. The deceased is survived by five children, besides his aged brother, Christopher and a nephew, John Barelme, proprietor of the Green Bay House. The children are: Mrs. Walter Pellett, city, Mrs. Barbara Reinhardt, Two Rivers, John, Menominee, MIch.; Peter, Gibson, and Battus, Merrill. The funeral was held on Monday from St. James Catholic church at Cooperstown, interment being in the cemetery there, where the remains of the decedent's wife were buried. Manitowoc Pilot, August 17, 1905 ******** AN EVENT OF NOTE Twin Brothers Celebrate Their 80th Anniversary Together Four score years ago in the little hamlet of Baris, Rhine, Prussia, two boys were born. The opened their eyes to the wonder surrounding them within a few seconds of each other and since that time they have traversed the path of life together. Although, at times separated, one from the other, never for an instant have they lost sight of the fact that they were brothers and twins. Saturday marked the 80th anniversary of their advent into the world and today in honor of the event, Christopher and Michael Bartelme are holding a celebration. The festivities are being held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Pellett on Clark St. and the occasion is one of great rejoicing. At nine o’clock this morning, Mass was said at St. Boniface Catholic Church in honor of the event. Such an event is a notable one in the history of Manitowoc County. Seldom do twin brothers live to jointly celebrate the eightieth anniversary of their birth. The two men are hale and hearty and in full possession of all their faculties. The resemblance between the two is so close that it is difficult to tell one from the other. Each has been married and is father of a large family and the relatives who are assisting in the celebration today represent four generations. Michael was married in 1844 to Miss Maggie Miller, the ceremony being performed at Baris, Rhine. In 1853 the couple emigrated to the United States and located at New Denmark, Brown Co., this state. After a short time, they removed to Green Bay, but becoming dissatisfied, they returned to their farm home in Brown County. Fortune favored them and the home was a happy one. Nine children were born to them, five of whom are still living. They are: John Bartelme, Menominee, Peter Bartelme, Gibson, Joseph Bartelme, Merrill, Mrs. John Runhert, Kinzie, Mrs. Walter Pellett, Manitowoc. The last four named are present at the celebration today. Mrs. Bartelme died three years ago and since that time the old gentleman has made his home with his daughter in this city. With Christopher, life was different. He remained in the old country until about fifteen years ago, when his wife died and he came to the United States. He was married at the age of 22 to Miss Catherine Scherding, the ceremony being performed in Baris. They continued to reside in Baris until his wife’s death and their married life was a happy one. Eleven children blessed their union but only two survive. One, Mrs. Peter Delles of Chicago is present today and the other, Miss Mary Bartelme is traveling in Europe. The Herald extends the wish that they may live to celebrate their centennial. Manitowoc Daily Herald - Apr. 3, 1899 - page 4

Senator Cashman, who for the past year has resided in this city with his son, Attorney John R. Cashman, had been a patient at the hospital for a month. Failing health prompted him to withdraw his name from the list of primary candidates this spring. Six candidates, four from this county, seek Senator Cashman's seat in the state senate as representative of the district which comprises Manitowoc, Kewaunee and Door counties. His term expires at the end of 1946. Funeral services for Senator Cashman will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday at the St. James Catholic church, Cooperstown of which congregation he was a member. Burial will be in the adjoining cemetery. A leader in the ranks of the Progressive party ever since its founding, Senator Cashman was the author of much important legislation enacted at Madison while he represented this district in the upper house. He was first elected in 1922, and except for a two year span has represented the district ever since. Started Politics in 1922 Born in 1865 on a farm in Franklin, Kewaunee county, which his father purchased from the government, he was educated in the public schools of his district and later attended Valparaiso university and the Chicago Law school. After teaching in Kewaunee and Brown counties he became an inspector for the United States bureau of animal husbandry at Chicago in 1901. From 1903 to 1919 he served on the staff of the United States bureau of internal revenue and then returned to his farm in Kewaunee county. He was first elected to the state senate in 1922 and was one of the LaFollette delegates to the national Republican convention at Cleveland in 1924. Always active in education, Senator Cashman was appointed to the board of regents of the University of Wisconsin by Governor Blaine, serving six years. Author of Legislation In his long tenure in the upper house at Madison Senator Cashman was the author of far-reaching laws, including the present highway law, the 15-cent tax on oleomargarine, brought forward as a protection to the state's dairy interests, and the farm woodlot law. Senator Cashman was also the author of the law enacted in 1933, when beer came back, which provides that all beer sold in Wisconsin must be made from barley. The Cashman highway law, enacted in 1931, provides for raising funds for highway improvements out of the gas tax and motor license fees. The farm woodlot law exempts from taxation farm woodlands. The senator led a fight in the legislature to secure passage of a resolution, which provides for elimination of what the senator charged was foreign propaganda in the school histories of state institutions of learning. In the fall of 1936 Mr. Cashman won the Democratic nomination for congress in the eighth district, but was defeated by the late George Schneider, Appleton Progressive. He served out the remainder of his senate term and (Continured on Page 2, Co. 1) JOHN CASHMAN, SENATOR, DEAD (Continured from Page One) in 1938 again ran for congress on the Democratic ticket. This election was won by Joshua John, Algoma Republican. Filled Unexpired Term When Francis Yindra of this city, named to the Cashman vacancy in the senate, resigned in 1939 to accept a federal post, Senator Cashman was again named for the unexpired term. In 1942 he was elected again for the full four year term. In addition to his membership in the St. James church at Cooperstown, he was also a member of the Holy Name society and of the Knights of Columbus of Algoma. On Sept. 15, 1896, Senator Cashman married Miss Sophie Duaime of Lawrence, Brown county. She preceded him in death June 10, 1907. Attorney John R. Cashman of this city, a son, is the only survivor.

FRANK COOKLE DEATH OF FRANK COOKLE IS SUDDEN WIDELY KNOWN CATERER DIES AT COOPERSTOWN Stricken as He Rests After Evening Meal and End Peaceful Death came to Frank Cookle, widely known caterer and proprietor of Cookle's resort at Cooperstown last night as he rested after the evening meal, a stroke, the second he had suffered, ending his life with a brief period of ten minutes. Mr. Cookle was one of the best known men of northeastern Wisconsin and Cookle's chicken dinners were known outside the confines of Wisconsin and had brought success and financial returns to their creator.

In later years advance reservations was the only assurance of dinner Sunday nights and the uniformly courtesy and effort to please had made the place a landmark of this section for home folks and tourists. Mr. Cookle was a good host, genial and friendly and at all times contributed to the popularity of the Half-Way House on the road to Green Bay.

Denmark Press - Thursday, Nov. 1, 1962 - page 16 ******** Gypsies in Riot at Cooperstown Free For All Fights Between Roving Bands and Wedding Party STONES AS MISSLES - MANY HEADS BROKEN One man was injured, many heads were broken and attention of physician was required for several persons at Cooperstown yesterday as a result of a free for all fight that took place there between a roving band of horse traders said to have been gypsies and a wedding party. The injured man was one of the traders who had his head cut open by a stone, the missile glancing off and striking a woman of his party. The man was taken to Dr. Vosburgh's office and six stitches were required to sew his scalp. The woman also required care. The fight broke up the wedding. The fight occurred while a wedding was being solemnized in St. James Catholic Church and accounts of how that trouble started are at variance. One report is that several boys who had arrived late at the church and were about to enter took umbrage at the presence of the traders on church property and ordered them from the premises. The gypsies are said to have refused this and a free for all fight was precipitated in which stones were the principal weapon used. One of the missiles struck one of the traders in the head and the stone glanced off and also injured his wife who was seated in a wagon at the scene of the fighting. Another report is that the gypsies started the fray. The fight started in the midst of a wedding ceremony and about the time a young couple, Miss Anna Hager and Frank Gretz were receiving the nuptial blessing, but the hostilities grew so severe in character that the proceedings rushed out of the church and soon were also mixed in a general melee. The gypsies are said to have been routed after a number of heads were broken. Those of the villagers and traders who were rendered hors de combat were rushed to Dr. Vosburgh's office while the gypsy band whipped their horses into a gallop and took the Green Bay road north. There were five wagons in the cavalcade. Manitowoc Daily Herald - Thurs., June 24, 1909
