MARY ALICE FINDLATER

MRS. FINDLATER DIES AT SHEBOYGAN 
Was "Allie" Toombs Former Resident This City 
Word was received here this morning of the death of Mrs. Frank Findlater at 
Sheboygan, formerly Alice Toombs of this city. Mrs. Findlater was 45 years of 
age and left this city fifteen years ago. She was a daughter of Joseph Toombs, 
formerly local agent for the Goodrich Transit Co. for a number of years. The 
family lived where Dr. Gleason now resides. The funeral will be held on Monday 
in this city. Several relatives live here.
Manitowoc Daily Herald, May 9, 1913   P. 8 
********
Former Resident Was Well Beloved By Many Friends 
Mrs. Frank Findlater of Sheboygan, whose burial was held at Evergreen this 
afternoon was widely known among the older residents of this city.
Alice Toombs Findlater was born in Manitowoc Nov. 20th, 1867; she married Mr. 
Frank Findlater of Grand Rapids, Michigan Dec. 12th, 1895. After a ten years' 
residence there they removed to Sheboygan, which has since been their home.
The news of the death of "Allie" as she was familiarly and lovingly called, 
will sadden the hearts of a large circle of friends to whom her sweet and 
charming nature had greatly endeared her. She had a peculiarly winning voice 
and manner, and a generosity unsurpassed. The Toombs' home here was for many 
years a social center and the gracious hospitality dispensed by the daughter 
of the house will never be forgotten by the recipients.
But it was in her own family that her love and devotion were most fully and 
beautifully shown. As sister, daughter, wife and mother, she found a complete 
expression of the loyalty and devotion of her nature.

miles from Coblenz Germany tells of his experiences during the war 
and after the signing of the armistice. Fischer says his first real 
fighting at Chateau Thierry and thereafter got plenty of action 
until the hostilities ceased. When his division left the Alsace 
sector they were rushed to Belleau woods where they slept one night. 
From there they took position at a little place called Renehars? And 
held their place on the lines until the town of ? was taken. They 
were next ordered to Soissons and remained until their objective which 
was Juvigny, was ? and on to the Verdun. They were only twelve miles ? 
Verdun when Fischer’s detachment went to the Argonne Forrest where they 
were in action steadily every day for eighteen days before they were 
taken to the rear for a rest. After a rest of ten days they went back 
into the lines again and were there when the armistice was signed. After 
the signing of the armistice the ? Germany was taken up and ? troops 
passed France, Belgium, ? and on Dec. 13 crossed the Rhine into Germany. 
They are now camped near Coblenz where they are waiting for the peace 
terms to be signed so that they may ? marching back ?.

ODY FISH

Fish, GOP Activist, Ex-Regent, dies at 81
Pewaukee  - 
Ody Fish, an activist in the Wisconsin Republican Party and longtime member of 
the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents, died Tuesday, his family said. He 
was 81. "We knew he played many different roles in many people's lives. But for 
him, his most important roles were husband and father and for that we are 
incredibly fortunate," the family said in a statement. "It meant so much to us 
to see the comfort he received in knowing the positive impacts he had on so many 
people."
Fish died early Tuesday at his home under hospice care as a cancer patient, said 
Sarah Fish of Boston, his oldest daughter.  Fish served on the Board of Regents 
from 1970 to 1987 and was chairman of the Wisconsin Republican Party from 1965 
to 1970. He also was a Republican national committeeman from Wisconsin from 1971 
until 1984.  From 1968 to 1970 he served on the executive committee of the National 
Republican Committee.
Fish was a board member for Common Cause Wisconsin from 1998 until his death. In 
1995, Fish was part of a citizens group that filed a lawsuit challenging former 
Republican Gov. Tommy Thompson's reorganization of state government that called 
for eliminating the state Department of Public Instruction and replacing the 
elected state Superintendent with a gubernatorial appointment. The State Supreme 
Court eventually ruled Thompson's plan was unconstitutional. Thompson said Tuesday 
he talked to Fish about three weeks ago. "He had a tremendous vision about death. 
He wanted all his associates and friends and political allies to call him and talk 
to him before he died.", the former Governor said. "I had a very nice chat with him. 
I wished him well. He said he really appreciated our friendship. I just complimented 
him on the way he was handling it." They didn't talk about Thompson seeking the GOP 
nomination for president in 2008. "We talked more about his accomplishment," Thompson 
said.
Fish loved a good cigar, directing people and discussing politics and he left a 
legacy about doing better in life, Thompson said, "Improving the party, Improving 
politics, Improving business. And improving education. He was always looking at ways 
to make things better. That's a wonderful legacy to have."
A visitation for Fish is planned Friday at Queen of the Apostles Church in Pewaukee 
from 4 to 7 pm with a funeral Mass to follow. Other survivors include his widow, Mary 
Ellen, and another daughter, Margaret Fish of Milwaukee.

NICOLAS FISHBACH

Nicolaus Fischbach had a tragic life which seems to stem from his time spent 
in the war. He enlisted as a private in Company "E", 35th Regiment Wisconsin 
Infantry in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin on December 31, 1863 for a three year 
period. He was mustered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and paid a $60 bounty. The 
roll recorded his name as Nicholas Fishback, born in Germany, occupation of 
farmer, age of 24, blue eyes, brown hair, height 5 ft. 7 in. and fair complexion. 
Sept. 2, 1864 they listed him as a deserter at St. Charles, Arkansas, but he was 
actually in a hospital at Memphis, Tennessee and voluntarily returned to duty on 
Dec. 23, 1864. He is then listed as a deserter on March 2, 1865 at Mobile Point, 
Alabama. According to his pension files, he walked all the way from Alabama back 
to Centerville still wearing his uniform. On the 1870 Federal Population Census 
for the Town of Centerville, Manitowoc County, Wisconsin page 39 (stamped 42) he 
was enumerated with his brother-in-law's family, Nicolaus Braun, line 4 through 
12. They took care of him until he was later committed to the Manitowoc County 
Insane Asylum for the chronic insane in January of 1885 were he remained till 
his death on July 3, 1900. He was buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Manitowoc City. 
(Note: He was Nicolaus Braun's brother-in-law (Centerville))
