BORCHERDT (d.1930) DESPONDENT OVER HEALTH, ENDS OWN LIFE Edward Borcherdt, 49, Found Dead in Home at Noon Today; Had Been Sufferer For Years His mind thought to have been affected by brooding over the misfortune of years of illness and despondent, Edward Borcherdt, for many years associated with his father and brother in operation of the Victoria Hotel, today ended his life by hanging. Mr. Borcherdt's body was found in the basement of the family home 727 North Eighth street shortly before noon by his sister Miss Amanda and sister-in- law Mrs. F. C. Borcherdt, Jr., who failed to locate him in the apartment after he had said that he did not care for lunch and had remained in his room this morning. News of the tragic ending of the life of Mr. Borcherdt came as a great shock to the city where he was well known, having spent his entire life here. He was born here July 11, 1881, educated in the local schools and had, since retirement from the hotel business lived a retired life with his father and sister. He had never married and is survived by his father, three brothers, Fred C., former manager of the State Fair, William, this city and Harry, of Milwaukee and one sister, Miss Amanda Borcherdt. Father Absent From City Both the father Fred Borcherdt and brother F.C. Borcherdt, Jr., were absent from the city today but expected back this afternoon, and the shock will be a heavy blow to Mr. Borcherdt, Sr., who for years had been the close companion of his son, who although a man congenial and companionable had preferred to hold aloof because of his illness. A month ago Mr. Borchert was at Rochester at the Mayo clinics and since that time had appeared more cheerful and hopeful, two weeks ago attending a dinner with a number of his former associates. It is believed, however that this occasion may have preyed upon him and depressed his mind because of his illness and that he had permitted despondency to so affect him that his mind snapped. Funeral Plans Not Made The body of Mr. Borcherdt was taken to the Vogelsang mortuary pending funeral arrangements which will be announced tomorrow upon return of the father and brother. Manitowoc Herald News, October 2, 1930 P. 6 Funeral Services For Edward Borcherdt Saturday Afternoon With the return to the city last night of Fred Borcherdt Sr., and his son, Fred Jr., arrangements were completed for the funeral of the late Edward Borcherdt, who was found dead in the basement of his home Thursday noon. The services will be held from the home, 727 North Eighth street, at two o'clock Saturday afternoon, in charge of the Rev. D. C. Ristad of the First Lutheran church. Interment will be at Evergreen. Pallbearers will be Max Bigel, Walter Schuette, George Levenhagen, Joseph Topic, George Clark and John Holloran, all lifelong friends and companions of the deceased. The remains were removed to the home this afternoon from the Vogelsang undertaken parlors. Manitowoc Herald News, October 3, 1930 P. 5 ******* [Edward A.

No one saw the accident and it was some time before he was found. He leaves a wife and two children, another child having recently died. Der Nord Westen, 05 Aug. 1886 ******** FATAL ACCIDENT. On Thursday evening one of Rahr Bros' teamsters met with a fatal accident. He was engaged in drawing manure to the farm a little over a mile outside the city and was seated on the load. It is believed the wagon pole dropped out of the neck-yoke ring and frightened the horses. He was pulled forward and dropped in front of the wagon. He was found a minute after lying on his face and though his heart was beating he was virtually dead as his neck was broken. The accident occurred in the field and he fell from the wagon while descending a little knoll. It is quite certain the team started to run before he was thrown out, as a man living near heard the driver shout "who" to the horses quite a number of times. The man's name was Fred Burchardt (sic). He was thirty years old and leaves a wife, child and mother. He was an industrious man and was well liked by all who knew him.

FREDRICH BORCHERDT (d. 1877) AN OLD SETTLER GONE We sincerely regret to announce that Hon. Fred Borcherdt, of Manitowoc, U. S. Consul to Leghorn, Italy, recently died unexpectedly at his post in the sunny clime of southern Europe. The deceased was one of the early settlers of Manitowoc and prior to his departure for Europe was editor in chief of the Manitowoc Tribune. He was an honest upright man, a kind husband, an affectionate and indulgent father, an obliging neighbor, a true friend and a first class citizen and although he has passed from Earth to Heaven his Christian example, benevolent course, wise counsel and kind acts will never be forgotten. In common with the vast multitude who knew and appreciated his sterling worth we drop a tear to his memory and tender the bereft family our heartfelt sympathy, as we always recognized Mr. Borcherdt as one of the best and truest friends of our boyhood days. Chilton Times, September 22, 1877 ******** Borcherdt.-At Leghorn, Italy, on Thursday, August 30th, 1877, the Hon. Fr. Borcherdt, age 66 years. Mr. Borcherdt was one of the first settlers of this county, coming here from Germany in 1840. He was for many years editor and publisher of the Tribune, and in 1874 was appointed United States Consul at Leghorn, Italy, which position he held up to the time of his death. His numerous family here will receive the sincerest sympathy of his many friends and the public, to whom he had endeared himself by his many private virtues and upright deportment. Manitowoc Pilot, Thursday, September 6, 1877 P. 7
****** On Friday last a cable dispatch from Leghorn, Italy, was received in this city containing the painful intelligence of the death of F. Borcherdt, former editor and publisher of this paper. Aside from the brief announcement of his death the dispatch gave no particulars and the relatives of the deceased are still unacquainted with the details of the sad event. When last heard from by letter, some three weeks ago, he was in the mountains in the north of Italy whether he gone to recuperate after an attack of dyspepsia, but nothing in his letter intimated that he considered his condition serious and the announcement that he had passed away was an unexpected as it was unlooked for. His wife was with him, of course, and as she will probably return to this city as soon as circumstances will permit, the particulars of his sickness and death will not be learned until after her arrival. Mr. Borcherdt was appointed United States Connsul to Leghorn in 1874 and he left the city for his post of duty on August 31st - just three years prior to the date of the announcement of his death. His health, up to a few weeks since, had been excellent and he always alluded to the county and climate in terms of the highest praise. Mr. Borcherdt was 66 years of age. In our next issue will appear an fitting obituary notice from the pen of one of his most esteemed friends in life -- one upon whom the task will fall much lighter than upon us, who feels incompetent to pass upon the merits of one who through life was all to us that a Christian father could or should be. Manitowoc Tribune - Thurs., Sept. 6, 1877 ****** With the last day of departing summer, was flashed from over the sea, from Italy, the tidings so sad to a wide circle of Wisconsin friends, that the Hon. Frederick Borcherdt was dead. To all it was a surprise. To such as were closely joined to him by ties of friendship and of blood, it was a stunning blow. He was dear to the hearts of many because of his worth in part, and because he had made them feel how dear he had held them to his heart. Frederick Borcherdt was born at Chemnitz, Saxony, July 6th, 1811 and consequently had reached the age of 66 years. Social position and the advantage that wealth bestows were his by birth. To careful home training and social culture were added the advantages of an university education at Dresden where he graduated in 1832.In 1833 at 22 years of age he came to the United States, fully adopting the country of his new home as the country of his heartfelt choice. He purposed to be an American citizen and he was one. His first eight years in this country were spent at Detroit, Mich., in mercantile pursuits. The remaining 36 years of his left he spent 33 a citizen of Manitowoc County, Wis., and three years as United States Consul at Leghorn, Italy where he closed his days. The first seven years spent in Manitowoc County were spent in lumbering at Neshoto at first without while neighbors and with the children of an Indian chief as the playmates of his children. The following three years he spent at Two Rivers and the following five years at Manitowoc Rapids at that time the county seat, following mercantile pursuits and filling various offices of trust for the town and county. In 1856 he removed to Manitowoc and there engaged in trade, filled various offices of public trust and in 1869 became the editor of the Manitowoc Tribune which he continued to publish until he received his appointment in 1874 as United States Consul. In his domestic relations he was as tender, devoted, loving and indulgent as the hearts of his household ought to wish. Two years after his arrival upon our shores there followed him from Germany, Wilhelmina Mueller, the choice of his heart in the old world, to whom he was married at New York in 1835. Two sons and six daughters crowned their married life of whom two daughters, Bertha, aged 10 and Clara, aged 7 in 1854 were drowned in the Manitowoc River and when found were clasped in each others arms in the cold clasp of death. The other six children are married and as husband and wives are working out that great problem of probation, which their honored father has to their bereavement alas, already solved. And in their loss they have abundant sympathy. His varied culture fitted him for a place in the society of any while the unusual kindliness of his heart ensured him a welcome from all. Rarely has there ever been stilled in death the pulsations of a kinder heart than his. In neighborly relations, in business relations, in political relations, in church relations that heart of his was so kind and tender that it could not wish injury to another and it became eminently fitted to pour the oil of peace upon the waters of the most boisterous or better strife. He made his enemies to be at peace with him, what was he not to his friends? In his boyhood, at 14 years, he was confirmed and received to the bosom of the Lutheran Church. When the first missionary of the cross visited Manitowoc County, he found a welcome from the heart and at the fireside of Frederick Borcherdt. He adopted with his adopted country, its civil institutions not only, but the religious Protestantism and religious images which he found here. Under the ministrations of that pioneer missionary, the Rev. Wm Herit, he united, first with a Congregational church organized at Two Rivers and then afterwards a Presbyterian Church was organized at the Rapids, of which church at Manitowoc was the successor, he was at once received as a member and elected as its one first elder in which office he has continued during all the history of this church, having been elected to that office last December although then absent in Italy. The measure of his education, as to Christian proprieties and Christian consistency and duty, he has filled. If for a time, he seemed to waiver from the orthodoxy of the standards of his adopted church, it yet became manifest, to his last pastor, that his heart turned with final and full intensity of interest towards the cross and his last year of direct connection with his beloved church found him unwontedly regular at all meetings for worship and ?? instruction and his latest supplications were the breathings for his dear one, for his church, for the unsaved around him that seemed prompted of the Divine Spirt and very much akin to such as the Master loves to carry, bedewed with His blood, to a mercy seat for the Father's acceptance. What his last experiences in a foreign land, during his dying hours , may have been, no messenger has yet come to give us tidings. But silent grief bows her head and loves to believe that he was as now remembered and even more deeply sanctified, such he was when summoned into the presence of his Lord. Manitowoc Tribune - Thurs., Sept. 13, 1877 ****** Mrs. F. Borcherdt returned to this city on Thursday evening after an absence of three years. She left Leghorn, Italy on the 19th of September on the steamer, Caledonia, for New York direct, stopping at various Italian and Spanish ports, reaching New York on Sunday, the 29th ult. The remains of her husband were interred in Leghorn. Manitowoc Tribune - Thurs, Nov. 8, 1877

JOACHIM BORCHERDT On Tues. evening Mr. F.C. Borcherdt, the proprietor of the Hotel Victoria here, received a telegram that his brother, Joseph Borcherdt, had died from burns received while at work in Kaukauna. He was employed there by the Chicago Northwestern Railroad Co. and was injured in the explosion of a gasoline receptacle while at work. He was burned so badly that he suffered a terrible death within a few hours. This is the third of the Borcherdt brothers who has died within the past year.

Der Nord Westen, 22 Sep. 1904 ********* DEATH TAKES THIRD BROTHER For Third Time Within the Year Borcherdt Family Is Invaded GAS TANK EXPLOSION Fatally Burns Joseph Borcherdt at Kaukauna and Death Ensues in Short Time- Body is Brought Here Death has dealt another crushing blow to the Borcherdt family, claiming the third brother of the family within one year's time, the demise of Joseph Borcherdt having occurred at Kaukauna late Tuesday night from the injuries suffered in the explosion of a gasoline tank in the shops of the Chicago & Northwestern Railway Co., where he was employed as a tinsmith. News of the accident reached relatives here late Tuesday evening and arrangements have been completed to bring the body to this city for burial Friday. Terrible suffering accompanied the death of Mr. Borcherdt who survived several hours after the accident. For more than thirty years he had been employed by the Chicago & Northwestern Railway Co., and of late years had been foreman tinsmith in the shops at Kaukauna and it was while at his work in the shops that he met with death. He had been engaged in repairing a gasoline tank, which had become damaged in some manner and had completed the work. With a view to testing the repairs he applied the air pressure to the tank and it burst, causing an explosion that scattered the gasoline through- out the room. Mr. Borcherdt's clothes became saturated and ignited and before aid could be rendered he had been fatally burned. After the explosion the unfortunate man, who was alone in that department of the shop, rushed into another room where other workmen were employed, but his appearance so startled them that they failed to immediately turn the hose on him to extinguish the flames. As soon as possible Mr. Borcherdt was removed to his home and medical aid summoned but he had been so badly burned that nothing could be done to save his life. Everything to alleviate the sufferings of the victim was resorted to and after a period of seven hours he passed away. The accident occurred shortly before six o'clock. During the late sixties and early seventies Mr. Borcherdt was a resident of this city and was engaged in the work of completing the extension of the rail- way lines from this city to Appleton. He was 54 years of age and is survived by a wife, two sons and one daughter, besides his aged parents, two brothers, John, of Chicago and Fred of this city and two sisters, Mrs. H. Boettger and Mrs. A. Roland, also of this city. The death of Mr. Borcherdt is the third in the family within the period of one year, three of five brothers having been claimed. Henry Borcherdt of this city was the first and was followed by William Borcherdt of Kaukauna. The sympathy of many friends will be tendered the bereaved family.

AUGUST BORN (d. 1947) Collins Hardware Dealer Summoned After An Illness August Born, 79, well-known Collins hardware dealer, passed away early Tuesday morning at the Holy Family hospital in Manitowoc. He had been in ill health for the past year. Funeral services will be held Friday at 2 p.m. at St. Peter's Evangelical Lutheran church at Collins with the Rev. Marcus Schwartz officiating. Interment will be made in the Evergreen cemetery at Manitowoc. Friends may call at the Berge Funeral home at Valders from Thursday afternoon until Friday morning when the body will be taken to the church where it will lay in state until the time of the services when the casket will be closed. Survivors are his wife; six children, Rueben, Miss Ella, Miss Hilda, Mrs. Eva Helgeson, Mrs. Meta Poe, all of Collins, and Mrs. Linda Habermann of Fairfax, Minn., and two grandchildren. Two weeks ago Mr. Born observed his 50th anniversary in the hardware business at Collins. Sheboygan Press, Wednesday, March 26, 1947 p.14 ******* [August Henry/d. 03-25-1947/age 79 yrs] ******* Congratulations Mr. Born Last Monday August Born completed 50 years of continuous business in his Collins hardware store. At a time when most men his age have been safely ensconced in easy chairs for several years, the 79-year-old merchant is still going strong, insisting upon a daily stint of work in his store. Mr. Born is a fine example of a man who through hard work, thrift and loyalty to his community built himself and his business into village landmarks. Settling in Collins in 1896, he has watched nearly half the 20th century roar by, but without losing his desire to work and be of service to his fellow man. While innumerable new inventions and ideas have revolutionized the life and businesses around him for decades, the old gentleman has not allowed the innovations or the accelerated pace of modern living to shake his faith in the old precepts of hard work, acceptance of responsibility and community service. If ever a man was the town and the town the man, Mr. Born and Collins are that man and that town. In addition to building his hardware store to twice the size of the original establishment, he has made a point of being constantly active in any place and all efforts at making Collins a better place in which to live. When it became evident that the village stood in need of an organized fire-fighting system, August Born was among those who established and served on the volunteer fire department and was its treasurer for 25 years. Cognizant of the requirement for education in a successful democracy, Mr. Born was instrumental in the organization of a district school for his own and other children. For 24 years he served as the school director, with an unflagging interest in youth and its development. A state bank finally was established in Collins in 1914 and again Mr. Born was among the organizers. Since helping to found that institution, he has seen continuous service on its board of directors and until recently was vice president. Now, with only a few months to his 80th birthday, he has taken over as president. In addition to these activities, for years Mr. Born was a stockholder in the old Manitowoc Times and found time to sit in at directors' meetings. This editor was associated with him in the management of the Evening Times and can attest to his loyalty, intellectual capacity, strong liberal convictions and sound business judgment. Rarely does one man so completely dominate a community and effectively represent it in so many fields. Without doubt the Herald-Times is expressing the feelings of not only Collins but the whole county in congratulating Mr. Born on a half-century of full time service to community and county.

MARION BORN SCHOOL CHILD KILLED BY TRUCK MARION BORN KILLED ON HER WAY TO SCHOOL Inquest Ordered Into Death of School Girl Killed While Walking on Highway Happy and carefree, six-year-old Marion, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Born of Manitowoc Route 2, was on her way to school this morning and in a spirit of playfulness disengaged her hand from that of her 7-year-old brother and a school chum and dashed across the roadway to meet her death when struck down by a truck driven by Nic Backhaus, St. Nazianz. The little child was thrown about ten feet and died almost instantly of a broken neck. The truck driver himself narrowly escaped with his life as his truck overturned when it went into the ditch and the fence post was driven through the windshield. The accident happened shortly after 8 o'clock this morning as the little girl, in company with her seven-year-old brother Melvin and Lloyd Wernecke, five, were walking east on Highway 42, 6 miles south of Manitowoc, on their way to the Newtonburg school. They had reached a point about three city blocks from the girl's home when she dashed across the highway from the right to the left side and was almost on the extreme left side of the road when struck by the truck and hurled into the ditch, a distance of about ten feet. Tracks along the highway indicated that Backhaus had sought to avoid the accident by swinging his truck to the left side of the road, the accident happening almost on the shoulder of the highway at the extreme left. Truck continued on its way into the ditch and went through a fence at the roadside as it overturned and spilled large quantities of milk with which it was heavily laden. The milk was being hauled for the Whitehouse Milk Company of this city. Deputy Assumes Charge As neighbors put in calls for a physician, Deputy Sheriff Henry Ansorge was attempting to reach Manitowoc on the same telephone line and was notified of the accident and he immediately proceeded to the scene from Alverno to assume charge. Calls were sent in for the sheriff and the coroner and they soon arrived on the scene, permitting Backhaus to continue on his way after questioning him and the two children with Marian at the time of the accident. Inquest Ordered Coroner W.G. Kemper ordered an inquest to determine responsibility for the accident and the sheriff drew the names of Edwin Roepke, Richard Heydrich and Joseph Gass, living in the vicinity, and A.F. Rank, Emil Streich and A. F. Killian of Manitowoc to serve as jurors. They visited the scene of the accident and reviewed the remains this morning to adjourn until a later date when testimony of witnesses will be taken. The little girl was born on January 13, 1925 and had only recently started to attend school. She was declared to neighbors to be an extremely bright youngster and in spite of her youth was preparing for contests to be held at the Newtonburg school within a short time. She is survived by her brother, Melvin, and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Born. Burial on Thursday The little girl will be buried on Thursday afternoon with services being held from the home at 1:30 o'clock and from the St. John's Lutheran church at 2 o'clock with Rev. Kionka officiating. Burial will take place at Evergreen cemetery in this city. Remains of the child will be taken to the family home tomorrow from the Pfeffer mortuary here.

SARA (SIBREE) BORNEMANN DIES THURSDAY AT AGE OF 75 Former Local Teacher Succumbs In Oconomowoc Mrs. Sarah Sibree Bornemann, 75, teacher in the schools of Manitowoc in the days of the old district system, died Thursday at her home in Oconomowoc, Wis., according to messages received here last night. She has been making her home in that city for a number of years, moving there from Manitowoc. Funeral Monday Funeral services will be held Monday at 3 p.m. from the chapel in Evergreen cemetery. Interment will be in the family lot beside the body of Mr. Bornemann. Sarah Sibree Bornemann, a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. H.C. Sibree, early residents of the county, was born in this city in 1861. She completed her education here and later became a teacher in the north side schools. She also taught at Kewaunee for a number of years. She married Captain Edward Bornemann, who commanded Company C, 24th Illinois Infantry, during the Civil war. After a short residence here they moved to Chicago to reside. There were no children. Sister Only Survivor Capt. Bornemann died 15 years ago and the body was brought here from Chicago for interment. Mrs. Bornemann spent several years in Manitowoc after her husband's death. She owned a home on North Fourth street. She later disposed of her holdings in this city and moved to Oconomowoc. A sister, Mrs. Anna Bush, Fond du Lac, is the only survivor. Manitowoc Herald Times, Friday, May 8, 1936 p.2 ********* MRS. BORNEMANN QUITS POLITICS FOR BOOKS AND QUIET LIFE OF HOME Manitowoc Woman, First of Sex To Direct Political Campaign, Has Retired At 60 Dispatches from Oconomowoc tells of the home life there of Mrs. Sarah Sibree Bornemann, white haired, but active and vigorous, despite her 60 eyars. She is a native of Manitowoc, but for many years has been making her home at Oconomowoc. She was the first woman to manage a metropolitan political head- quarters in a presidential campaign but now finds satisfaction in cultered seclusion of her home. After several years spent in Europe Mrs. Bornemann returned to the United States in 1926 to find that prices had skyrocketed beyond her reach. A widow since the death in 1904 of her husband, Capt. Edward Bornemann, a Chicago real estate man, she had to face the situation alone. She found that she could not live in Chicago within her income and so she came to Wisconsin, and chose Oconomowoc. Built Modest Home Her four-room home, built of a heavy paper board composition inside and out, was erected at a moderate cost, not one-half the sum that the annual rent of an ordinary four-room flat in Chicago represents, she related. She has a large living room and stone fireplace, a bedroom, dining room, bathroom and kitchen. A hot air furnace in the cement basement heats the home in winter. Although Mrs. Bornemann lives by herself, she is not alone. During her European travels she has collected hundreds of copies of the world's masterpieces, which fairly fill the walls of her abode. Rembrant, Raphael, Del Sarto and Van Dyke Madonnas, Beethove, Wagner and Schiller are only a few of her daily companions. In 1911 Mrs. Bornemann was invited by the Wilson executive committee in Chicago to enter the campaign promoting the nomination of the Princeton professor for president. She accepted and because of her efficiency was soon made head of the Wilson headquarters in La Salle hotel, the first woman ever to hold so important political position. This was of course before woman's suffrage amendment. Direction of the Wilson headquarters remained under her until Wilson's nomination at the Baltimore convention. She was subsequently director of the women's head- quarters until his election. She was also secretary and treasurer of the women's Wilson and Marshall organization in the middle west. During this time she made many political speeches and wrote several pamphlets which had a widespread distribution. Although she was asked to assume charge of the headquarters during Wilson's second campaign, she refused, she said, because she objected to his foreign policy. Her last political speech was made in 1924 on the courthouse steps of her birthplace, Manitowoc, when LaFollette was running for president. Attended Law School Before she was 10, Mrs. Bornemann said, she had read all of Sir Walter Scott's novels. Shortly after her graduation from Manitowoc High school at the head of her class, her father died and she was thrown upon her own resources. She went to Milwaukee in 1883, where she was the first woman ever employed in the general offices of the Milwaukee road then located in that city. Later she became a clerk in the law offices of the late Edward S. Isham, Chicago attorney, and attended Kent law school at night. She also received a degree from the University of Illinois, where she enrolled in the school of pharmacy and chemistry. She married Capt. Bornemann, who had served four years in the Union army, in 1895.

FRANCES BOUGHTON TEACHER HERE IN EARLY DAYS PASSES AWAY Mrs. Boughton, Instructor in the Schools Here 30 Years, To Be Buried in City Pages of the life book of many Manitowoc residents were turned back by memory today to school days of forty years ago, by news received here of the death at Menomonie of Mrs. Frances Boughton, one of the pioneer teachers of the city schools and an instructor whose teaching had touched more lives of present day residents of the city than that of any other. Mrs. Boughton was for thirty years a teacher in the primary department of the old Second ward school and numbered among her pupils a large number of the present day middle aged and older residents, especially on the north side. Bring Body Here for Burial Mrs. Boughton's remains will be brought to Manitowoc to rest in the city which up until fifteen years ago she had called her home and where she was wont to say the happiest days of life were passed by her. Funeral services will be held at Menomonie tomorrow and the body will be brought here for burial at Evergreen cemetery, probably Monday. Mrs. Robert Markham, a niece, is at Menomonie to accompany the funeral party here. Injury Hastens Death An injury which Mrs. Boughton suffered in a fall at her home hastened her death. She suffered a fracture of the hip and complications which set in, coupled with her advanced age, brought the end, which came to her yesterday. Mrs. Boughton is survived by one daughter, Miss Clara Boughton, who is a supervisor at Stout Institute in the city where the family made their home. Mrs. Clara Bressler and Mrs. R. Markham are nieces of the deceased. The death of Mrs. Boughton brings to memory her excellent work in the educational system of Manitowoc city and relations of teacher and friend to many homes here. Manitowoc Herald News, January 17, 1930 P. 2 ******** Mrs. R.H. Markham is at Menominee Falls where she will accompany the body of her aunt, Mrs. Frances Boughton to this city for burial. Mrs. Boughton died yesterday. Manitowoc Herald News, Friday, January 17, 1930 P. 3 ******** VETERAN TEACHER PASSES ON Mrs. Frances Boughton died last Friday at Menominie, Wis., where she has been making her home for the past fifteen years. For thirty-two or thirty-three years prior to her residence there, Mrs. Boughton was teacher of the first grade at the second ward (now Madison) school. For a large part of her regime, there was no other north side school and there was no kindergarten and she gave the tots their first experience with the great world outside the home. For a generation she taught the same grade in the same room, the northeast room of the first floor. Children of children she taught came and passed on into the upper grades and it looked as if Mrs. Boughton, was as imperishable as the sturdy brick building itself. Now the teacher has passed on and the building, ten years old when she began her service in the fall of 1882, is condemned and awaits only funds for its replacement to mark its demolishment. We venture to say that new innovations and new theories in the science of pedogogics have improved but little, if any, upon the training methods of this remarkable woman, or are producing better results than did our gentle and patient but firm control. The primary teacher receives the raw materials coming from all kinds of homes, exhibiting the results of all forms of early home training or the utter lack of any discipline or direction and the responsibility here now, we presume largely assumed in the kindergarten, to give the first correct principles to the heterogenous collection of unformed characters about to begin the unfolding process is one not lightly to be assumed. The sentiment of the many hundreds who came under Mrs. Boughton's beneficent influence in the critical period of their schooling is probably one of reverence and deep gratitude. The wholesome influence exercised upon many impressionable personalities in those years has been spreading out like the circles of the pebble case in the waters widening and reaching thousands of others in a measure most of them perhaps do not realize. A noble woman who gave the best years of her life to the children of this community, has an enduring monument in lives and characters that will go on and on to a time ending when who can hazard or surmise. Mrs. Boughon is survived by her daughter, Clara, a supervisor of the Stout Institute at Menominie, a former teacher in the local schools. Mrs. Clara Bressler and Mrs. R.H. Markham of this city are nieces. The funeral was held Monday with services by Rev. Phipps of the Presbyterian Church. Interment was in Evergreen Cemetery.
