KASSON EVERGREEN CEMETERY

DANIEL H.T. BOLDT    (d. 1900)

Kasson:
Again the Lord bids us remember, "Be ye also ready, for such an hour 
do ye know not the Son of Man cometh."  This time Daniel Boldt was 
taken from his home at Kasson by the Angel of Death, July 7, 1900.  
Deceased was born in Germany, Oct. 3, 1821. Mr. Boldt was a loving 
husband, kind to his family and loved home better than any place else. 
He was honest, upright in all his dealings, would rather give than 
receive and always lived in harmony with his neighbors. His wife, 
three sons and two daughters mourn his death. The funeral services 
were held at the Kasson Lutheran Church last Monday conducted by Rev. 
Sam of Appleton. A large concourse of friends followed the remains to 
their last resting place.

Dearest father, thou hast left us,
And our loss we deeply feel,
But 'tis God that has bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.

Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life has fled,
When in Heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.

Weep not that his toils are 'oer,
Weep not that his race is run,
God grant we may rest as calmly,
When our work, like his, is done.

Till then we yield with gladness, 
Our father to Him to keep,
And rejoice in the sweet assurance,
"He giveth this loved one sleep."

ERNST H.L. BOLDT    (d. 1894)

An infant child of Mr. and Mrs. John Boldt, of Maple Grove died during Tuesday 
night last. Neighbors had called at the house during the evening and the little 
one was in good spirits and very playful. The neighbors returned to their homes 
about 11 o?clock when the family retired. Mr. Boldt arose for some reason during 
the night and returning to the bed noticed that the little one seemed unusually 
quiet and attempted to arouse it but found life extinct. It is supposed that the 
child died from cramps or suffocated during the night. The funeral is to be held 
at the Lutheran church in Maple Grove today, Friday.

In Asylum for 10 Days
Said to have threatened the lives of his wife and family and on more than one 
occasion to have fired a revolver in and about his home, Wm Braun, a Maple Grove 
farmer, is in custody of the county authorities and has been committed to the 
county insane asylum for ten days to be held for observation of physicians who 
will investigate as to the man's sanity. Braun is 40 years of age and is the 
father of a family of six children, the youngest, a babe of seven weeks. Braun 
was taken into custody by the officers following an outbreak Saturday when it 
is said Mrs. Braun escaped serious injury if not death by successfully dodging 
a bullet which had been fired from a revolver in the hands of her husband. Braun, 
who up to eight years ago, is said to have been a model husband and father is 
reported became addicted to liquor at that time since which he had been a changed 
man and of late his outbreaks have been of more frequent and much more alarming 
character and the family has come to be in mortal fear of the man. Braun is said 
to have caused a number of disturbances lately. Probate Judge Chloupek ordered 
Braun held at the county asylum for ten days for investigation by physicians who 
will watch the man and at expiration of ten days, an examination will be conducted 
and if Braun exhibits evidence of mental disorder, as believed he will, he will be 
committed to the Northern hospital at Oshkosh. Braun is well to do and has been 
successful in farming. He is well and favorably known in the section in which he 
makes his home and his condition causes pity and sympathy for the family. Braun 
offered no resistance to commitment to the asylum. - Manitowoc Herald

Death of the 80 yr. old mother of J.A. Horn in Kasson.

CHRISTIAN HORN

Manitowoc's Der Nord Westen - April 24, 1884. 
Death of 58 year old Chr. Horn in Brillion, Calumet Co. (no date). 
He has relatives and many friends in Maple Grove, Manitowoc County. 
*******
With no little emotion, we assume the sad duty of recording the death 
of Christian Horn of Brillion. Mr. Horn died suddenly of heart disease 
on Monday, the 14th of this month. He had been for some time in the 
enjoyment of usual good health, and was sitting on a lounge, in his 
house, reading the newspaper. He put the paper down, and arose to walk 
across the room, when he fell flat upon the floor. His friends in alarm 
came to his assistance and lifted him onto the lounge where he expired 
in a few minutes. He leaves two sons, and a daughter to mourn his 
premature departure; Henry who is twenty-one years old, Herman in the 
twentieth year and Caroline who is fourteen. 
Mr. Horn was a native of Lobenstein, Saxony, where he was born May 13, 
1826. With his brothers, John A Horn and Frank Horn, with whom he has 
always maintained unbroken relations of true fraternal regard, he 
emigrated from his fatherland on the 27th of July 1848. The brothers 
landed at New York. From there they went to New Jersey where they lived 
about two years. Determined to pursue the ?star of empire? westward, they 
left New Jersey and reached Milwaukee in October 1850. From the latter 
place they went to Washington Co, this state, where they remained about 
five years. In March ?56 they settled permanently on lands in the town 
of Brillion and Maple Grove.  The excellent tracts which they selected 
attest the soundness of their judgment. Christian Horn had considerable 
difficulty in getting his land, as there was a strong prejudice against 
the Germans among the Americans then living in Brillion; but Mr. Horn 
succeeded and became the first German settler in the town.  
Early the next year he was married to Amelia Werner whom he survived only 
about a year. Mr. Horn fully exemplified the industry, economy and thrift, 
so characteristic of the German people. His success in life has been the 
result of honest endeavor and patient toil. Out of the tangled wilderness 
he carved a beautiful home which descends with his other property to his 
children. The example, however, of his honesty, industry and economy is 
of much more value to them than broad acres and hoarded wealth.  
Mr. Horn held the office of town treasurer of Brillion for ten years, and 
served in nearly every other office in the town; and in every capacity 
served his constituents honestly and faithfully. He was a charter member 
of Brillion Lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and was buried with 
all due honors by that fraternity.  
The funeral took place on Thursday, the 17th inst., and notwithstanding 
the bad condition of roads, he was accompanied to his last resting place 
in Maple Grove by a host of his friends  Farewell remarks were made at the 
grave by Wm B. Minaghan in English and by M. Thomsen in German. The Odd 
Fellows service was read by Wm. V. McMullen

JOHN HORN

A BRILLION PIONEER PASSED AWAY
John Horn, A Veteran of Civil War Died at the Hospital at Appleton
Another of the sturdy pioneers of this state and a veteran of the civil war 
has joined that vast throng who have crossed the valley of death to the world 
beyond. On Wednesday, Oct 21st, John Horn of Brillion died at the advanced age 
of eighty-two years at St. Elizabeth?s hospital at Appleton. Mr. Horn had been 
in poor health for nearly a year past, but had been able to be up and around 
until some four weeks ago when his eye sight began to fail and he was taken to 
the hospital for an operation. While a patient at St. Elizabeth?s hospital acute 
Bright?s disease developed and he failed rapidly until death released him from 
all suffering.  
John Horn, a son of the late Henry Horn, was born on Sept. 20, 1832 in Lobenstein, 
Fustenthurn, Reu, Saxony, Germany. On July 28, 1848 his parents left their native 
home for America and he with other members of the family accompanied them. They 
landed in New York in September of the same year and went to New Jersey where they 
made their home until 1853 when they moved to Pittsburg, Pa. Here they remained 
one year. And then came west to Wisconsin locating at West Bend where they resided 
until the fall of 1855 when the Horn family located in the forest of Maple Grove, 
Manitowoc County, in what is now known as the Kasson district, five miles northeast 
of Brillion village. 
While in the east Mr. Horn worked at his trade, that of basket maker and when he 
struck the forests of Wisconsin he met a proposition that would have caused many 
another person to have become discouraged, but with a spirit of determination to 
carve out a home, John Horn, assisted by his brother, Henry, began the task and 
succeeded in overcoming all obstacles and had one of the finest farms in that 
section.  
In 1860 he was appointed postmaster and served in that capacity until 1892. In 1861 
he was town superintendent of school and from 1880 to 1892 was clerk of the district 
school board. In 1864 he enlisted in the Thirteenth Wisconsin regiment and served one 
year. In 1868 he established a general store at Kasson and followed the mercantile 
business until he retired in 1892 and moved to the village of Brillion. For some years 
he was connected with the Brillion furniture factory. In all walks of life he was a 
man who dealt fair with his fellow men and not one was held in higher esteem by his 
neighbors than John Horn. Mr. Horn was never married and for many years he made his 
home with his brother, Henry.  
The body was brought to Brillion on Thursday of last week and the funeral took place 
on Saturday from the home, Rev. M. Sauer, pastor of the Lutheran church conducting the 
funeral services. He is survived by two brothers, Henry and Frank, one sister, Mrs. 
Edw. Kolb, also five nephews and twelve nieces.

Notes from Gills Corners:
Miss Elizabeth Kings was called to her final resting place on New Year's Day. 
Miss Kings had been ill for several months from a complication of diseases and 
all that medical aid could do was resorted to but the will of the Lord shall 
be done and she willingly yielded to this call. Deceased was born at Genesee, 
Waukesha county on Oct. 26, 1851. She came with her parents to Maple Grove in 
1855 and with her sister, Jane and brother, Robert who survive her, lived here 
all her life. Deceased was a very kind and endearing disposition and was seldom 
ever absent from any social gathering in the neighborhood until illness 
interfered. Her home was in a way a meeting place for the young and old for 
enjoyments and in summer time, many of her younger relatives would spend a 
greater part of their vacation at "Aunt Liz's" as she was called. Her happy 
disposition and laughable jokes will be missed for a long time. The funeral 
took place last week at the Wayside Lutheran Church, Rev. Landeman officiating. 
The burial took place at the Kasson Cemetery and despite the bad roads and 
disagreeable weather, was followed by a very large concourse of sympathizing 
friends. Peace to her soul.

THOMAS KINGS    (d. 1876)

DIED, at his residence in Maple Grove, Manitowoc Co., Wis., July 4, 1876, Mr. 
Thomas S. Kings, aged 66 years. Born in Abergavenny, Eng., Mr. Kings was one 
of the first settlers of Maple Grove. From thence until his death no action 
was ever done by him, in his intercourse with man, worse than to extend a 
helping hand to those less fortunate than himself. To sum up the qualities of 
this worthy man it is only necessary to add that he was, in truth, one of 
Nature?s Nobleman. On the evening of the 5th he was followed by a very large 
concourse of friends and relatives to where his earthly rest undisturbed by 
the turbulence and vanity of this sinful world; whilst his soul soars through 
regions forever bedizened with the highness and splendor of a celestial sphere. 
The sincere sympathy of the entire community is tendered to the bereaved family 
in this their hour of affliction.

THOMAS KINGS    (d. 1899)

Thos. Kings, a well known resident of Maple Grove, died very suddenly on 
Tuesday evening of last week. His death is a most sorrowful one, following 
so soon the death of his brother, John. He leaves a wife and nine children. 
The Kings family are of English descent and their residence here tended to 
create a fairer conception of the English character in the minds of the old 
Irish settlers. A reference to the Kings' generally silenced a too-zealous 
arraigner of Old England. All keenly sympathize with them in their present 
trouble.

Notes From Maple Grove:
A fatal accident occurred in Reedsville on Saturday last. While driving home from 
Reedsville where he had disposed of a load of grain, Mr. Sumnat (sic) was struck 
by a switch engine and received injuries from which he died in a short time. One 
of the horses was also killed. Mr. Sumnat was a farmer living about one mile from 
Kasson. He is reputed to have been quite wealthy, for a farmer, though he had 
suffered severe losses through bank failures the past few years. He was of a 
strangely reticent and unsociable disposition and lived his three score years 
without making but few friends. He has no relations living in this vicinity and 
it is not known to whom his property will revert. Terrible and sudden as was his 
fate, it will cause few genuine tears to be shed.

ANDREAS STERN

On Monday morning as farmer Wilhelm Degner of Town Maple Grove near Casson 
was bringing milk to the cheese factory, he found the body of Andreas Stern 
lying on the road near the entrance to the Kasson Cemetery. Degner immediately 
notified the town authorities and an investigation established that Stern, an 
old bachelor who worked a 40-acre farm near Kasson, had visited his cousin, 
Jacob Heinrich on Sunday - also a farmer in that town -and shortly before sunset 
had set out for home. On his way he suffered a heart attack. The body had lain 
the entire night alongside the highway exposed to the terrible weather. 
Considering all of the circumstances, District Attorney Kelley decided that a 
coroner's inquest was unnecessary.

AGED KASSON MAN DEAD IN ROADWAY
Andrew Stern, 80, Stricken Within Quarter Mile of Home Sunday Night
Andrew Stern, an aged resident of Kasson was found dead on the highway one 
quarter mile from his home early this morning, the body being discovered by 
William Degner, a neighbor. Stern's death was due to heart failure and he was 
stricken while returning to his home late Sunday night from a visit to relatives 
residing in the vicinity. District Attorney Kelley, who was notified of the 
finding of the body, deemed an inquest unnecessary, after a physician had 
examined the body reported death due to natural causes.
Stern was a bachelor and though 80 yers of age, conducted a small farm upon which 
he lived alone. Sunday he visited the home of a cousin, Jacob Henrichs, the only 
known relative of the dead man and left the Henrichs place before dark for his 
home and it is presumed that he was stricken by heart failure while on his way. 
The body had evidently been in the open during the night and even had Stern's 
death not have been instantaneous, the exposure in the storm would have caused 
his demise, owing to his advanced age. The point at which Stern's body was found 
was just outside the gates of the cemetery at Kasson, Stern probably having passed 
through the cemetery on a short cut to his home. The farm occupied by the dead 
man is owned by Mr. Henrichs and consists of 40 acres of land from which Stern has 
secured his support. Mr. Degner, who discovered the dead body, was on his way to 
deliver milk to the cheese factory and he immediately notified the authorities and 
the body was removed to the home. The funeral will probably be held on Wednesday.

Christian John Stern was born February 16, 1925 in Salsdorf near Schubin Posen, Germany. When but 3 years of age death called away both of his parents within a week's tie. From then on his lot was cast among strangers to care for hi. He learned the trade of  miller from  his uncle but had very little chance for schooling and was practically a self made man devoting his spare moments to studies from books as opportunities permitted and he became a great lover of reading which was his only comfort in life during his later years and till death came to him.  He followed his trade as  miller until 1852 when he sailed for America. He settled in the state of Pennsylvania working in factories and roller mills until 1857 when he made an overland trip by horse and wagon through the wilderness from there to Wisconsin and settled down in the town of Maple Grove in Manitowoc Co., where he chose for his home, the place where he lived until his death. Feb. 26, 1860 he was united in marriage to Ernestance Neumeister. Together they carved out of the wilderness the farm which has always provided a good and respectable home for both themselves and their family. Mr. Stern was one of the organizers of the Ev. Lutheran Bartholomew church near Kasson and always remained a true Christian life and was a strong observer of the Golden Rule towards all. He constantly searched in the Scripture and was well versed in the bible which he read thru 27 times. A few years ago at the 50th Anniversary of the home church, he was the last of the original members left to be present on the occasion. Four years ago Mr. and Mrs. Stern celebrated their golden wedding. Shortly after Mr. Stern took to his bed and from then on spent the greater part of his days in bed feeling better at times but not of long duration. All that medical skill and kind hearts and hands could do to help and comfort him was done, but without avail and after long and painful suffering brought on by complication of disease and old age, he quietly passed away at 3:00 o'clock am on Wednesday, Janu. 21, 1914 at the age of 88 years, 11 months and 5 days at the homestead on the farm of his son, Gustave with whom he has spent his remaining years after retiring from work.  He leaves 20 grandchildren and one great grandchild. He was preceded in death by one daughter, Mrs. Fred Giese of Menominee, Mich., and two sons, Christian and Gotfried. Mr. Stern was a true and loving husband, a kind and thoughtful neighbor and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. The funeral services took place January 24, 1914 at 12:30 pm. After a short service at the residence the body was taken to the Ev. Lutheran Bartholomew Church where a very appropriate sermon in both German and English by Rev. Martin Sauer, pastor of the congregation. He chose for his text from 1st Book of John, Chap. 3, 1-12. Leaving the church the body was escorted by a very large procession of neighbors and friends and the flower girls (who carried beautiful flowers as a last Tribute and loving evidence of the sympathy felt throughout the community for the loved one gone) to the Kasson Lutheran Cemetery where the remains were laid to rest to await the great day when he call again be called forth out of his grave to partake of the Glory of God and everlasting life. 

We miss thee from our home dear father
We miss thee from they place
A shadow o'er our life is cast
We miss the sunshine of they face

We miss they kind and loving hand
Thy fond and earnest care
Our home is dark without thee father
We miss thee everywhere

Dearest one thou hast left us
And thy loss we deeply feel
But 'tis God that hast bereft us
He can all our sorrow heal

Yet again we hope to me thee
When the day of life is fled
When in heaven with joy to greet thee
Where no farewell tears are shed.

Miss Louisa Stern, daughter of Gotlieb Stern, died very suddenly this morning, 
May 27th; cause of death supposed to be disease of the heart.
Miss Louisa had been enjoying perfect health until a hew minutes before her
death, when she awoke her mother and father only in time to see her die. This 
seemed to us a ruthless nipping of the expanding blossoms, but it is only 
another reminder of the fact that we are but creatures of a moment and most 
submissively yield to the will of Him who holdeth the rein in His hands. Louisa 
was born and reared among us, and a bright, promising young girl of 17 summers 
who carried only sunshine and joy with her presence.
Her death will be a great affliction to her parents; will also make and many
of her young comrades and acquaintances. We extend our heartfelt sympathies to 
the bereaved and affected friends.
