WILLIAM CONNELL William Connell of Liberty died after an illness of eight days, at the home of his sister, Mrs. Daniel Gillis, near Antigo, at an early hour last Sunday morning. His death was due to pneumonia. He was married to Mary Lahey in 1883 and settled on a farm in Liberty where he resided until the death of hiswife in July 1904. He then rented the farm and lived most of the time since with his brother Joseph in Meeme. William Connell had a wide circle of friends and acquaintances which he won by his warm-hearted loyalty to them. He was generous to a fault. Ever cordial and companionable, he possessed a warm heart, strong friendships and active sympathies. He was a real friend when a friend was needed, and his death is a loss to the community in which he lived. He prospered infarming, but he was one of the style of men that early hardship could not harden, nor prosperity spoil. He is survived by five brothers, Patrick and Joseph Connell of Meeme, Dr. J. P. Connell of Fond du Lac, Dr. D. R. Connell of Beloit, John Connell of Los Angeles, and one sister, Mrs. Daniel Gillis of Antigo.

BRIGITTA AGNES CROWE Called By Death It is with the feelings of deepest sadness and regret that we chronicle the death of a sister, Bridget Agnes Crowe, which occurred in Milwaukee last Friday morning. The deceased had been in poor health for some time and medical treatment having failed to effect a cure she underwent an operation on the preceding Monday which resulted in her death four days later. Miss Crowe was born and reared in the town of Liberty, this county, where she had always resided until about two and one-half years ago, when she with two brothers, removed to Milwaukee, which place she had since made her home. She was a young lady possessed of true instincts of womanly character, esteemed and respected by all who knew her. She was an affectionate daughter, a kind and devoted sister. She was a devout Catholic and her firm belief in the doctrines of the church was exemplified in her daily life. She is survived by four brothers, William of Liberty, Joseph and James of Milwaukee and the PILOT scribe. Her remains were brought to St. Nazianz for interment. The funeral took place last Monday and all that was mortal of her was consigned to the grave. Peace to her soul. God has called for many a loved one. We have seen them leave our side; Now an only sister, loved so dearly Has forever crossed the tide. Oh, sister in your silent slumber Oh, sister in your grave so low; You no more will join our number, You no more our sorrows know. 'Tis sad that one we cherished Should be taken from her home. But the joys that do not perish Live in memory along; All the years we spent together All the merry, happy hours, Shall be cherished in remembrance Fragrant sweets from memory flowers.

KATIE F. CROWE From the Files of the Pilot –Twenty-five Years ago (1890) Katie Crowe of Liberty, daughter of Michael Crowe, died last week. IN MEMORIA Written to the Memory of Katie F. Crowe Dear Katie lies in the cold grave now, Far down beneath the clay. The Angel of Death came swooping down, and carried her away. The pain you give, oh Tyrant Death, it’s hard, oh hard to bear. You took away the household pet, from a Mother’s loving care. Took off in the morning of life, like a flower cut down in its bloom; removed from earthly strife, To the cold and silent tomb. Her soft, sweet eyes are closed forever, to the sights of the world below; On earth again we’ll see her never, She was called and had to go. She is gone to the land of eternal sunshine, to meet the angels bright; Away from the cold and dismal clime, to live in the field of light. Oh stricken mourners do not weep, for when your bodies lie under the sod; You’ll meet your darling on the golden street, high up in the city of God.

MARGARET F. CROWE SAILBOAT CAPSIZES AT OCONTO, WIS. SIX OF A YACHTING PARTY DROWNED. Caught in a Gale on Lake Shawano, Three Persons Rescued After Being in the Water More Than Five Hours—Bodies Not Yet Recovered-Sad Accident. Oconto, Wis., June 29—Word was received here Sunday of the drowning of six persons in Shawano lake during a gale which occurred at 6:50 Saturday evening. The dead: CROWE, Margaret, St. Nazianz, Manitowoc county Wis…. …The party was on its way to the north shore of the lake for a few days’ outing and left Cecil, on the southern shore, at 5 o’clock in the evening in the sailing yacht of O.A. Risum. Mr. Risum himself was at the helm in charge of the boat and nearly all of the members of the party were experienced sailors. For an hour the trip was as pleasant as a sailing trip might be. The breeze was brisk, but not strong enough to be termed a gale, and the Scud, as Mr. Risum’s yacht had been named, was gliding through the water at an exhilarating rate of speed. All of the party were enjoying themselves hugely and were making merry over the plans for their three days fun. --Shortly after 6 o’clock Mr. Drackery called the attention of the party to a black cloud which was rapidly becoming more dense and which had already assumed a threatening appearance. The wind had also freshened and was blowing at a high rate of speed, but none of the party was in the least frightened and merely speculated as to whether they would be able to reach the shore before the rain fell or whether they were to get a wetting. At 6:30 the wind came up with a rush and the sails were hauled down. Still there was no perceptible decrease in the speed of the boat. She shot along under bare poles with a tremendous velocity. The wind had by this time lashed the waves into a fury and the women on the boat were beginning to get a little worried, but the men were confident that all would come out right. Suddenly the wind shifted and overturned the yacht before the helmsman had time to bring her about. Mr. Risum and Mr. Drackery managed to cling to the boat as it went over, but the others were thrown far away from it. Mr. Drackery made a most heroic effort to reach his wife and had almost succeeded, as she was an excellent swimmer, but he caught sight of his child almost within his grasp and returned with it to the boat. When he again attempted to reach his wife she had gone under the water for the last time. Miss Crowe, who was a fair swimmer, succeeded with some assistance from the two men, in reaching the boat, and held to it for several minutes, but her strength had already been taxed to its utmost by her battle with the waves. She refused offers of what aid the two men could render her, and suddenly, without so much as a splash, loosed her hold and sank. Louis Gokey had gone down clasped in the arms of his wife, whom he was trying to rescue. For nearly five hours Mr. Risum and Mr. Drackery were in the water. Their strength was fast giving way when they were fortunately discovered and were rescued by men who put ou from Cecil in rowboats. The bodies of none of the drowned have been recovered, as there is a high wind on the lake, which makes it almost impossible for boats to accomplish anything. Searching parties are being organized and the work of looking for the bodies will be prosecuted as soon as the wind abates. The Daily Gazette, Janesville, Wisconsin, June 29, 1896 P. 1 ******** MISS MAGGIE CROWE of Liberty was drowned in Shawano lake on Saturday evening last by the capsizing of a yacht. There were five other persons drowned. Three of the party, two men and a child clung to the bottom of the boat and were rescued. Those rescued were in the water for five hours. The party were enroute to the north shore of the lake where they were to have an outing for a few days. This squall struck the boat three miles from shore. Miss Crowe was a teacher and a most estimable young lady. The body of Maggie Crowe was recovered yesterday and will reach the home of her parents today.

MARGARET CROWE Mrs. Michael Crowe of Liberty died last Friday after an illness of two weeks. She was born in Ireland in 1839 and came to this country with her parents when a little girl. She was married to Michael Crowe in Milwaukee in 1858. They moved to Liberty the same year where they resided until the death of each. Her husband died nine months ago. She was the mother of ten children five of whom are living. Mrs. Crowe was an estimable woman, a devoted wife and mother whose love for her family had no finite depth. The death of a mother such as she, is a mournful subject for reflection, but it is human life in one of its many phases. Her death has brought sorrow and grief to the old home which nothing but time and the pity of God can heal. There is however, consolation in the belief taught by religion that death is not the end of life but only one stage of immortality, and that in the great world shining beyond the stars to which she has gone, there are vistas brighter than any this world has to offer. Her funeral took place on Monday and a large number of people followed her remains to the grave. She has taken her journey across the dark river and may God give her rest.

MICHAEL CROWE Michael Crowe of Liberty died on Wednesday of last week. He was stricken with apoplexy the Sunday preceding and from this he never rallied. He was a strong man and of most exemplary habits and judging from appearance had a considerable portion of this life before him. He was born in Ireland in 1831 and came to this country when a boy. He lived for a time in the state of New York and later in Milwaukee. He settled in Liberty in 1857 and was married in 1858. Michael Crowe was a man whose quiet influence always was cast for the good in a community. He was not a reformer but his life was such that it taught by example. He had the instincts of a gentleman and they marked every act of his. He was honest, truthful and just. It was a pleasure to meet this hale, outspoken and thoroughly conscientious man who never harbored a mean thought or harmed a fellow being deliberately. He was not widely known but those who knew him valued him for his genuine manliness. He was a prince in manly character and he grew on broad principles because he was a man with sense of justice and innate delicacy. The death of such men as Michael Crowe is a loss to the community in which they lived.

WILLIAM CROWE It is with feelings of deep sorrow and regret that we chronicle the death of a brother, William Crowe of Liberty, who departed this life last Friday morning at 6:30 o'clock. It is always sad to stand in the presence of death but when the one summoned is a brother, a man of usefulness, the father of a family and the embodiment of all that is good in human nature it is afflictive in a high degree and leaves us with a bewildered mind and broken heart. Death was due to an affection of the spinal column, from which he had suffered for five months. Everything that medical skill could do for his relief was done all to no purpose. The end was expected as he had been sinking gradually for several weeks. Despite the pain he suffered, he bore up well and to the last was cheerful and brave. Mr. Crowe was born in the town of Liberty in 1858 where he resided all his life. He attended the public school in his native town and when he had grown to manhood he secured a teacher's certificate and taught school in this county for four years. He then abandoned teaching and purchased a farm across the road from the old homestead, on which he resided until his death. He was industrious and wide-awake and made farming pay. He was clerk of the school board for about twenty years and town clerk for six years and was re elected to that office last spring. Wm. Crowe was married to Ellen O'Shea June 27, 1888, who together with five children survive him. The children are Gerald, Francis, Isabel, Margaret, and Eleanor. He is also survived by three brothers, Joseph and James of Milwaukee and E.S. Crowe of this city. Mr. Crowe was devoted to his family and relatives and they were devoted to him. He was an indulgent father, a kind husband, an affectionate brother, an honest man and a good citizen. The funeral was held Monday forenoon from St. Gregory's Church at St. Nazianz. Father Michels performed the last sad rites. Peace to the soul of William Crowe. The following from outside attended the funeral: Mr. Ed. Welsh, and Mr. John Reddin and daughter Miss Mary of New Richmond, Mr. Richard Welsh and Miss Mamie Dunbar of Milwaukee, Mr. John O'Shea, Mr. William Garrey and Miss Nellie Garrey of Chicago, Messrs, C.E. Brady, Pat Connell, Martin Ryan, and Mrs. B. Morris of Manitowoc.

DANIEL DONOVAN Farmer Died Natural Death, Doctor Finds Heart Attack Is Ruled Cause in Donovan Case MANITOWOC — The mystery surrounding the death of Daniel Donovan, 71 year old retired farmer, was dispelled here early Thursday when an autopsy established that he died from natural causes. The autopsy was performed at 6 a.m. at the Berge Funeral Home by Dr. S. S. Schochet, a pathologist who located in Manitowoc just a few days ago. Dr. Schochet found death due to a heart attack and estimated that life had been extinct four or five days. Coroner Dr. Theodore Teitgen, who had previously attributed death to a broken neck, concurred in Dr. Schochet’s finding. “We are satisfied,” Dr. Teitgen said, “that he died of coronary occlusion.” Dr. Teitgen said he based his original finding on the fact that the neck joints had crumpled upon examination of the body at the funeral home early Wednesday, giving the appearance that they had been broken. He said the neck joints were probably disturbed in handling of the body, which was in an extensive state of decomposition. Events leading up to the discovery of the body were described later Thursday morning by Dr. H.C. Kleeman, Kiel chiropractor, during an interview with Dr. Teitgen and Sheriff Alvin S. Gill. Finds Man Dead Kleeman told the authorities that he had been treating Donovan at two week intervals during the last, several months. He said he last saw Donovan alive on Jan. 16. On two occasions since then, Dr. Kleeman said, he had gone to the Donovan home about five miles west of Valders on Highway 151 but was not able to see the man. The first time he did not get any response to his knocking and on the second occasion, last Saturday, he was told by Mrs. Donovan that her husband was out getting a haircut. Dr. Kleeman said that Mrs. Donovan called him about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday and asked him to come to the house. Arriving there shortly after 6:15, he found Donovan dead in bed and notified Dr. Mark Foley of St. Nazianz. Dr. Teitgen quoted Dr. Kleeman as saying that he waited until Dr. Foley arrived and then left. Earlier the coroner had reported that Dr. Kleeman had left before Dr. Foley arrived. Dr. Foley conducted an examination of the body and established death due to a heart attack. Donovan had suffered a stroke about a year ago and spent some time in a Sheboygan rest home. After the body was removed to the funeral home following a two hour delay before the undertakers were able to rouse Mrs. Donovan, who is a semi-invalid, Dr. Teitgen was called into the case and conducted his examination. He found the body in an advanced state of decomposition with the face partly eaten away apparently by rats or cats. No Coherent Account Accompanied by Sheriff Gill and armed with electric lanterns because the house had no electricity, Dr. Teitgen inspected the premises and said he found it in a badly littered and cluttered condition. Mrs. Donovan was in an erratic mental condition, Dr. Teitgen said, and was not able to give a coherent account of what had happened or why she had failed to notify authorities of her husband’s death. Authorities believe that Donovan died last Friday or Saturday. Arrangements are being made to remove Mrs. Donovan from the home. Funeral services for Mr. Donovan will be held at 10 a.m. Friday at St. Gregory’s Catholic Church at St. Nazianz with the Rev. Denis Cooney officiating. Burial will be in the adjoining church cemetery. Mr. Donovan was born May 2, 1855, in Calumet County and married Pernelia Williams June 17, 1929, at St. Nazianz. The couple had no children. A brother, Patrick, of Milwaukee, died about a year ago.

PERNELIA DONOVAN Fire swept through the rural home of Mrs. Dan Donovan, R.1, Valders, last Saturday morning, taking the life of this widow, and her nine cats and two dogs. The fire was discovered about 11:00 A.M. by Ray Habermann, an employee of the Manitowoc County Highway Dept., who saw the smoke coming from the kitchen roof, as he drove past in a snow plow grader. The St. Nazianz Fire Dept. was called, and then the men fought the blaze in zero temperature. Officers of the County Traffic Patrol provided traffic control at the scene. The body of Mrs. Permelia(sic) Donovan, 76, which was badly charred, was found on the floor next to a wood stove in the kitchen. Nine cats and two dogs perished in the fire with her. Firemen theorized that Mrs. Donovan may have been starting a fire with kerosene when an explosion occurred in the wood stove. Several oil and kerosene containers were found in the room. The home is located 4-1/2 miles west of Valders on Highway 151. Daniel Donovan, the woman's husband was found dead in the same house in February, 1956, under mysterious circumstances. He had been dead several days. However, death was due to natural causes. Mrs. Donovan lived alone with her cats and dogs. Firemen said there was no electricity in the six-room two-story structure. The fire badly gutted the kitchen and caused extensive smoke and water damage to the other rooms. An unofficial estimate placed the damage from $2,000 to $2,500. Permelia Donovan was born Jan. 24, 1885, in the Town of Eaton, daughter of the late Nelson and Anna McCabe Williams. She was married to Daniel Donovan July 17, 1934. He died in 1956. Survivers(sic) are nieces and nephews. Funeral services were held at 10:15 A.M. Tuesday at St. Gregory's Catholic Church in St. Nazianz. The Rev. Dennis Cooney officiated and burial was in the church cemetery. The Christianson Funeral Home, St. Nazianz was in charge of arrangements.

The sad announcement will be a source of sorrow to all who were acquainted with this good man. He suffered but little sickness in his life and for one of his years he was unusually well preserved. He had been a resident of Manitowoc county for over fifty years and was always the same kind, considerate and cheerful man. He was always ready to give encouragement and aid to his fellow men, and it was this disposition to help and cheer his brethren that made for him so many warm and lasting friends. Deceased was born in County Limerick, Ireland, and was about 74 years of age at the time of his death. He came to this country with relatives in the fifties and settled in New York state, but after a few years residence there left for the west and settled at Milwaukee. He came to Manitowoc county in about 1857 and purchased a farm in the town of Liberty, where he had ever since resided and followed the occupation of farming. Shortly after settling on the farm he was united in marriage at Manitowoc Rapids to Mary Crowe and six children were born to them, three of whom are dead. He is survived by his wife, and three children, Michael and William Dunbar and Miss Margaret Dunbar, all of the town of Liberty. He also leaves on brother, Michael Dunbar, now a resident of Beaver Creek, Minn. The funeral was held Tuesday morning from St. Gregory's church, St. Nazianz, Father Herman officiating, of which the deceased was many years a member. Interment was in the family lot in the adjoining cemetery. A kind husband, an indulgent father, a worthy man and a good citizen has gone to his eternal rest. Peace to the soul of John Dunbar. Those from outside who attended the funeral were: Miss Mamie Dunbar, Messrs, Denis, Joseph and James Crowe, of Milwaukee; Mr. Dan Tracy, Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Connell, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Connell, and Mr. and Mrs. E.S.

His health had been poor for several months. He had been advised by physicians that an operation was his only chance for recovery. He took the chance and lost. The deceased was born in the Town of Liberty, this county, where his boyhood days were spent. He was a son of the late Mr.and Mrs. Michael Dunbar, pioneer settler of that town. He was 68 years of age. As a boy, Mr. Dunbar labored on the farm. He received his education in the old district number four, the Chilton High School and Oshkosh Normal. He was a teacher in this county for many years and was rated as one of the best. In the year 1885 he purchased the Dave Mulcahay farm in Liberty but continued teaching for several years thereafter. He served as Town Clerk and Chairman of Liberty for ten or twelve years and filled each office with credit to himself and profit to the town. Mr. Dunmar was a man of many excellent qualities. He was well-educated, self willed, determined and never flinched from a duty. He was well liked by his neighbors and that's always a tribute worthwhile. In 1886 Mr. Dunbar was married to Mary Kittell who with seven children survive him. The children are Mrs. Henry Hauch, Mrs. William Jenkins, Mrs. Earl Stulff, Miss Genevieve Dunbar, Ivan and Earl, all of Seymour and James Dunbar of Lewiston, Montana. In 1912 the old farm in Liberty was sold and the family removed to Seymour where Mr. Dunbar purchased another farm which is now owned by his son-in-law, Henry Hauch. John Dunbar may have gone through life without being noted for much like the average man, but he has left behind him a family of seven that any man may well be proud of. His four girls are all teachers and Miss Genevieve, the youngest girl is still teaching and has been a teacher in Milwaukee the past two years. James is a railway man in Montana. Ivan runs a store at Seymour and Earl, the youngest of the family is a druggist at Waupun, Wis. The three older girls are married and living on farms in the vicinity of Seymour. The funeral was held Monday morning from the Catholic Church at Seymour. Those from this city who attended were Mrs. Sarah Sullivan, Michael Dunbar, J.G. Crowe, William Dunbar and E. S. Crowe.

MARGARET DUNBAR Miss Margaret Dunbar-- Another sudden death occurred at Liberty, when Miss Margaret Dunbar, after a week's illness, passed away Thursday night. Miss Dunbar was 35 years of age and a daughter of Mrs. J. Dunbar, who with two brothers survives. The funeral will be held at St. Nazianz Monday morning. Miss Dunbar was a cousin of E.S. Crowe, of this city. Manitowoc Daily Herald Friday, November 29, 1912 pg. 1 ******** DIED: Miss Margaret Dunbar, daughter of Mrs. John Dunbar of Liberty, died last Thursday night after a few days' illness. Her death was attributed to a form of paralysis and came as a shick to her relatives and friends. She had been complaining for a few days of a cold but had been up and about as usual. On Tuesday night she took a change for the worse and on Wednesday morning was unable to speak, though apparently conscious. She remained in this condition without regaining her speech and passed away Thursday night. Her death has brought the bitter cup of sorrow to the lips of relatives and friends. She was a young woman of sterling character, kind and charitable disposition, a filial daughter, an affectionate sister and a friend in need to all who knew her. She was the comfort of her mother and the home now left desolate. We feel the emptiness of human words in time of bitter sorrow. Yet he who "has borne our grief's and carried our sorrows" will comfort and sustain. Miss Dunbar was born and reared in Liberty and had lived there all her life. She is survived by her mother, and two brothers, Michael and William. The funeral took place Monday. Burial was in the cemetery at St. Nazianz. Peace to her soul.

She had been in poor health the past month, but had been confined to her bed only a week. Her death was due to a general break down incident to old age. She was about 75 years old and was born in Ireland. The family immigrated to this country when the deceased was a little girl. They lived for a time in Lockport, New York, later on in Milwaukee and in the late 50’s located in Liberty. Mrs. Dunbar’s maiden name was Mary Crowe. She was married to John Dunbar at Manitowoc Rapids over 50 years ago. They settled on a farm in Liberty where they resided until death. Mr. Dunbar died six years ago. The deceased was the mother of six children, only two of whom are now living, Michael and William, both resident of Liberty. Mrs. Dunbar was a kind-hearted woman, an affectionate wife and mother and good neighbor. She was a woman who was held in high esteem and had a large circle of friends. None ever entered her home without a warm welcome and old age did not destroy the charm of a kind, indulgent disposition, nor diminish her unselfish solicitude for her friends and loved ones. She was the lasting surviving member of the Crowe family that settled in Liberty back in the fifties and the last one of the pioneer settlers of that section who still lived there. A few still survive but they reside elsewhere. The funeral was held Wednesday morning from St. Gregory Church at St. Nazianz. Interment was in the adjoining cemetery.
