MISHICOT AND TWO RIVERS MEN ARE VICTIMS
H. Flentje, Mishicot, Hit By Unkown Hunter- Alex Jacobson, 
Former Two Riversite Killed 
Two Manitowoc count men are among the first victims of the deer hunting 
season in Wisconsin, dispatches today reporting the fatal injury of Henry 
Flentje, 43, of Mishicot, near Mercer, Wis., and messages having been 
received of the death of Alexander Jacobson, 30, of Rice Lake, former Two 
Rivers resident who was killed by a stray bullet Monday.
Mr. Jacobson, who was a nephew of Mrs. George Peterick of Shoto, was the 
first victim of the deer hunting season in the state. First news of the 
tragedy came to relatives in this county, in publication of Associated 
Press dispatches in the Herald-News Monday night, and reports were later 
confirmed in telephone messages received from Rice Lake by Mrs. Peterick. 
Formerly Operated Dray Line
Henry Flentje of Mishicot, formerly employed at Plant No. 4 of the Aluminum 
Goods Co. at Two Rivers and who at one time operated a dray line between Two 
Rivers and Mishicot, has been a resident of Mishicot for practically all of 
his life. He was mortally wounded when he was shot through the head by an 
unknown hunter on a deer trail at Rice Lake, near Mercer, in Vilas county 
late yesterday afternoon. With Mr. Flentje at the time were his son, Howard, 
and two other men.
No trace of the man who fired the shot has been found, according to Associated 
Press messages which were received at Manitowoc this morning.
Mr. Flentje left with a party of local hunters for the deer country on the 
last day of November and expected to return to his home at Mishicot sometime 
this week.
Born at Mishicot 
He was born in the town of Mishicot on May 28, 1885 and with the exception 
of several years spent at Racine lived in the township all of his lifetime. 
For the past number of years, he was a buffer at the Two Rivers plant of the 
Goods company.
In addition to his aged father, Charles Flentje, now a resident of Green Bay, 
he is survived by his widow, two children, Eveleyn and Howard, at home, two 
brothers, Edward at Mishicot and Charles at Cavoer, Wisconsin, four sisters, 
Mrs. Herman Wicke, Mrs. Norman Thompson, Mrs. Wenzel Urbanek and Mrs. Tracy 
Thompson, all of Manitowoc.
Funeral arrangements have not been completed, the family receiving only the 
most minute details of the accident….

FATALITIES IN NORTH WOODS 
....Henry Flenje of Mishicot was killed by a bullet that left the barrel of 
a gun at quite some distance away. The shot may have been fired into the air, 
as explained above, or someone may have been shooting at deer on a hill, in 
which case the bullet would travel quite some distance without encountering 
anything to stop it. In a case of that kind the deplorable shooting of a man 
can be termed unavoidable accident, and in the sad death of Mr. Flentje, it 
probably will never be learned who fired the fatal shot.

HIRAM FORTIER

City and County:
Hiram Fortier is lying dangerously ill at the house of his brother-in-law, 
Judge Craite. Mr. Fortier had to discontinue teaching school six weeks 
ago.
Manitowoc Pilot  Thursday, July 15, 1897  pg. 3
*********
After a prolonged illness Mr. Hiram Fortier died at the home of his uncle Judge 
Craite at Manitowoc, last Saturday. Hiram was a Mishicott boy until recently when 
his illness compelled him to place himself under medical care at Manitowoc.
Upon his friends here, the tidings of his death produced a feeling of inexpressible 
sadness. It seemed to us but yesterday that Hiram had been with us, bright and joy 
always, full of health and a leader in all amusements. Today he lies peacefully 
sleeping his last sleep beneath the sod. His schoolmates and boyhood friends 
gathered at the side of his grave and sadly offered their last loving tribute of 
flowers and song. It is not for us living ones to speak anything but words of praise 
for our departed friend. He was always kind and considerate to others, of a happy 
disposition, and eager always to do a friend a favor.
The blow was a hard one to the bereaved family and especially to his widowed mother 
whose idol he was. Deceased was 22 years of age. Until the age of 19 he had worked 
on the farm and his education was very limited. But not being a very strong man 
physically, he determined to improve his education and become a teacher. After a 
year of hard study he successfully passed the examination and two years of creditable 
educational labor followed ending in his breaking down in health and strength and 
then came the end in the very bloom of his young existence. The funeral was one of 
the largest that has taken place here for years.

FRANZ VALENTIN GALMBACHER

The Two Rivers Chronicle has the following item:  Last Tuesday little Frankie Gallenbacher, 
a four year old son of the Mishicott miller fell into the water just below the mill and was 
drowned. The fall must have stunned him for the water was not deep enough to otherwise 
have drowned him. The first knowledge his father had of the sad event was the sight of his 
body lying under the water upon the pebbles, just beneath one of the windows of the mill, 
while leaning out of that window for a breath of fresh air. The little fellow was immediately 
taken from the water but life was extinct and all efforts to resuscitate him were futile.

Notes From Jambo Creek:
Mr. Louis Greenwood died Monday Dec. 22 at the home of his son William in the 
town of Gibson at the age of 94 years. He leaves an aged wife, eight sons and

Mr. John Greenwood from Lena, Wis., and Frank Greenwood from Oconto Falls were

***********
Mr. and Mrs. Louis Greenwood, of Mishicott, believed to be among the oldest
married couple in the state, recently celebrated their ninety-second birthdays.
They were married in Canada in 1843 and have resided here since 1854. Up until
recently both enjoyed fair health but of late they have failed.

OLD TIMERS
The Old Timers column will be continued as long as we find the persons who have 
a vivid recollection of the early days and who are entitled to recognition as 
Old Timers by having lived in this vicinity previous to 1856.

The distinction of being the oldest married couple in this county and probably 
the state is enjoyed by Mr. and Mrs. Louis Greenwood of Mishicot. They have shared 
each others joys and sorrows as man and wife for seventy years. Their wedding took 
place at St. Thomas, Canada in 1843.
In 1854 they came to this county being with them four children. Most of the time 
has been spent on the farm and they are the parents of twelve children of whom 
eleven are living. The oldest son died while serving in the civil war in Company Y, 
17th Wisconsin Infantry.
This exceptional old couple enjoys the further distinction of having eighty-six 
living descendants. There are forty-two grandchildren and thirty-five great 
grandchildren. Both are ninety-two years of age. Mr. Greenwood was born in February 
and his wife in April, 1821.
When they arrived, the Mishicot post office had just been established. It was opened 
in June, 1854 and F.M. Falrich was post master. It was the time too when cholera was 
epidemic for a time at Manitowoc and since other parts of the county and some people 
left the settlement and went on farms for awhile to escape the scourge. Up to a few 
weeks ago, Mr. Greenwood has spent some time almost every day chopping wood on his 
farm. He and his wife are now however fast declining. She has been unable to walk 
for some time on account of paralysis.
A week ago, Mr. Greenwood was taken ill and he is now confined to his bed from which 
he does not expect to rise again. His mind is still rational while his wife's is 
beginning to show the effects of age. He realizes that his end is near. Even though 
his life had been much longer than the allotted age, he says that it has passed swiftly 
endorsing those favorite lines which Lincoln often quoted.
"Then why should the spirits of mortals be proud?
Like a fast flying meteor, a swift flying cloud.
A flash of the lightning, a break of the wave,
And he passeth from life to his rest in the grave."

MOSES GREENWOOD

Moses Greenwood Dies at Manitowoc Thursday Evening. 
Moses Greenwood, 92, one of the earliest white children born in 
Manitowoc County died Thursday night at Holy Family Hospital here. 
He had observed his 92nd birthday last month at his small cottage 
at King’s Bridge. He was born in the town of Mishicot in 1852, the 
son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Greenwood. When a boy, he went to a lumber 
camp near Laona and was employed there until he suffered the loss of 
an arm in an industrial accident. Despite this handicap, he returned 
to this county to engage in farming. 
Surviving are three daughters, Mrs. Emma McCarthy, Kenosha, Mrs. Mary 
Schroeder, Manitowoc, and Mrs. Roy Walters, Wisconsin Rapids; a sister, 
Mrs. Sophie Wollier, Green Bay; two brothers, Edward, Algoma, and Henry, 
Manitowoc; 14 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. His wife, nee 
Rose Becker, preceded him in death seven years ago.
Funeral services will be conducted Monday at 9:30 a.m. from the Wattawa, 
Urbanek and Schlei Funeral Home, Manitowoc, and at 10:30 a.m. from the

Moses Thought He Might Be 100, Grave Marker Shows 92. (Photo) 
Moses Greenwood, who has struggled through a long life on the farm 
even though handicapped with the loss of his right arm in a logging 
accident when he was a boy of nine, today observed his birthday at 
his small cottage north of King’s Bridge. 
Moses, who admitted that his memory on when he was born is a bit hazy, 
opined he “might be about 100 years old.” He added, however, that he 
had purchased a tombstone for his grave marker in Manitowoc many years 
ago and this might tell better. It did. The date of his birth on the 
red granite marker was 1852. That makes Mr. Greenwood 92 years old 
today. 
His father Henry came to Wisconsin from Canada, settling at Two Rivers 
to engage in fishing. There were ten boys and two girls in the family 
so Moses early decided to seek employment in other parts. When a boy of 
nine years, he went into the lumber camps of Laona as a timekeeper and 
in an accident there, lost his arm. But this did not discourage him and 
he came back to Manitowoc County to engage in farming. 
Greenwood recalled many of the privations and hardships in the county in 
the early days. He often walked to Manitowoc to get groceries for the 
family. Even with his advancing years, he is able to do small tasks about 
the small farm. 
His wife died several years ago and his housekeeper is Mrs. Frank Worth 
who has four sons in the armed services.

Fatal Shooting
A particularly sad and fatal accident happened in the northern portion of the Town 
of Mishicott last Thursday and resulted in the death of Rudolph Guse, the 13 year old 
son of Mr. A. Guse of that town. Otto Guse, an older son, was out rabbit hunting and 
happened to pass by the school house where his brother, Rudolph was attending, just 
as the boys were having a recess. Otto sat down to talk with the boys, holding his gun 
between hisfeet, the muzzle sticking out behind from under his arm. His brother came 
up behind him and asked to see the gun, at the same time taking hold of the muzzle 
and drawing it towards him. In some way, no one knows just how, the lock caught and 
the gun was discharged, the contents lodging in the boy's right side, causing injuries 
from which he died in a few hours. The poor boy was conscious till his last moments 
but fortunately, he suffered absolutely no pain and passed away quietly and peacefully.
