MICHAEL THORNTON (d. 1868) OBITUARY. It is with no ordinary feelings of pain and sorrow that we announce the death of MICHAEL THORNTON, Esq., of the town of Cato, who died at his residence on Friday, the 28th ult. The deceased was a native of County Mayo, Ireland, came to Manitowoc in 1850, and was one of the oldest residents of the town in which he lived and died at the age of sixty-two years. He was noted above most men for his hospitality and kindness of heart, and the early settlers of his neighborhood gratefully remember the helping hand he lent them in their hour of need, and many a passing traveler, in want of warmth, food and shelter, has showered benedictions upon his head, for his hand was ever open to the needy, his sympathies flowed out to the suffering, and his latch-string was ever out to the passer by. He was a man of strict integrity and honesty of purpose, and his manly qualities were duly appreciated by his neighbors, who honored his memory by the largest procession eer seen in Manitowoc county. The deceased was buried at the St. Nazian (sic) settlement in the town of Eaton, of which parish he was an honored resident. Thus has passed from sight an upright citizen, a loving husband, an affectionate and indulgent father, a good neighbor, and an honest man. He leaves an aged widow and three sons to mourn his departure—the three latter well known as worthy scion of an honored sire, viz.: Hon. Thomas Thornton and Mathias Thornton, Esq., of Cato, and John Thornton, Esq., of Manitowoc. The late Mrs. Mahoney, wife of Michael Mahoney, Esq., was also a daughter of his. We mourn, with all who knew the deceased, the loss of so good a man, and we sympathise deeply with the bereaved family and relatives of the honored dead, and the consolation we offer them is the honorable Christian life of the deceased, a fitting example for them and us, and the prayer that death maybe to us as it has been to him—not a loss but a great gain. Manitowoc Pilot, October 2, 1868 P. 1 ******** STATE OF WISCONSIN, MANITOWOC County, ss. Probate Office, October 6, A.D. 1868.

JAMES ANTHONY WAGNER James Anthony Wagner, of the Village of St. Nazianz, answered the Lord's call to come home on March 8, 2010. He was born on Nov. 25, 1927, in the home where he lived his entire life, son of the late Julius and Monica (Kustermann) Wagner. He worked dawn to dusk all his years. As a young boy, he helped in the Kustermann General Store (next door to his house), which was owned by his grandparents, Joachim and Teresa Kustermann, and later by his Uncle August Kustermann. As a young man he sometimes accompanied his father, owner of Kosterman and Company, a small leather manufacturing company, as they traveled the state on sales calls. After the death of his father in 1945, Jim, a graduate of Kiel High School, managed the wholesale business to support the family. Jim is remembered with high regard by all who knew him for his honesty, kindness, self-deprecation, droll sense of humor, general acumen and civic contributions. He lived a pious and Christian life, caring along with his sister, Joan, for his mother until her death in 1992. He served as the St. Nazianz Village President for 12 years. During his tenure the village funded and built various infrastructure projects and established Oschwald Park. He was a lifelong member of St. Gregory's Catholic Church and a charter member of the Lions Club, serving as District Governor for several years. Jim's skills as an expert mason and contractor (James Wagner Builders) can be seen throughout the area in the many houses he built and renovated as well as the rectory and altar remodeling of St. Gregory's Church, the stone altar at the site of the original church founded by Fr. Oschwald (listed on the State Register of Historic Places), and the renovation of the George Washington School with Jerry Dewane, that he and Jerry had the foresight to save. Jim was the first lifetime member and an enthusiastic booster of the St. Nazianz Historical Society and worked on Society restoration projects including the Loretto Chapel and the Firehouse Museum dedicated on July 4, 2009. His avocations included gardening, woodworking, stained glass, and painting. He could fix or build almost anything. He was an amateur naturalist, and was devoted to and beloved by his family, with whom he enjoyed various travel adventures when time permitted. Through years of cancer recurrences and attendant therapies he never complained. His optimism and living faith touched everyone he knew. He was preceded in death by his parents, Julius and Monica Kustermann Wagner; his brothers: Francis (killed in action in WWII), and Dr. Alois (Jeanne) Wagner; and his sister: Joan (Arthur) Broeckert, R.N. Surviving him are his brother, Fr. Robert A. Wagner, SDS; and sister, Sr. Beatrice Wagner, OSF, both of Milwaukee; and Attorneys Michael (Karen) Wagner of Fond du Lac.

PETER WILBERSCHEID NILES VETERAN FOUND DEAD IN BED ON SUNDAY Peter Wilberscheid, Blacksmith Nearly 50 Years, Active To Last Peter Wilberscheid, 74, who as looking forward to 1934, marking 50 years of continuous business as a smithy at Niles, this county, was found dead in his bed at the home Sunday morning by his wife when she went to call him for breakfast. Mr. Wilberscheid remained active up to the very end. Last Friday he set a pair of heavy iron tire wheels. The next day he was also busy about his shop in the Niles settlement.

When he purchased the blacksmith shop from Matt Wollersheim back in 1883, Niles consisted of a general store, saw mill, cheese factory and tavern. When the logging business fell off in 1909 business slackened and in 1918 the saw mill was torn down and other business dropped off in Niles. All that was left of Niles was the blacksmith shop and Peter Wilberscheid.

He learned the blacksmith trade and was employed at Charlesburg, Calumet county. It was in 1883 that he came to Niles and the next year he was married to Mary Thome of Calumet county. He took over the blacksmith shop and continued to operate it down the span of years and at times assisted his son, Ben on the farm near Niles.
