ALMOST LOSE THEIR LIVES IN BARN FIRE
Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Robinson of the Town of Mishicot almost lost their lives in 
a barn fire in the Town of Mishicot Saturday morning. The barn was struck by 
lightning while they were inside at an early hour. Mrs. Robinson was engaged 
in milking close between two of the cows when the strike came and Mrs. Robinson 
had just closed the barn door and came back inside. Both were knocked down by 
the bolt and were unconscious. There was no one near to render assistance but 
after a short time, Robinson recovered consciousness when much of the barn was 
already wrapped in flames. He immediately went to his wife's assistance. He 
picked her up for dead between the cows which had been killed but had fortunately 
fallen outward instead of toward each other or they would have crushed the woman. 
After working over Mrs. Robinson a few minutes she began to show signs of returning 
life and Robinson rushed back into the burning barn to save something. He succeeded 
in getting the horse to the door when it tore away and went back to it's death and 
all he was able to save was a harness. With the barn all of the season's crops were 
destroyed and also four cows and a horse. The barn was insured but the contents not 
and the loss is a severe one. Mr. Robinson sustained bad burns on his arm and hand. 
Mrs. Robinson also shows burns on her head and face. For a time, it was feared she 
had lost the sight of one eye. They had a successful harvest and planned to do their 
threshing today. Had Robinson remained unconscious a short time longer both could 
have lost their lives.

JOHN G. SCHEUER    (d. 1916)

Notes from Mishicot:
John Scheuer, one of the oldest settlers of Mishicot, died last week, aged 81 
years. He was born March 2, 1835(sic) in Germany. In 1847 his parents came to 
the United States with three children, Joseph, John and Catherine and landing 
at New York took a steamer on the Hudson River to Albany. From that city, they 
went by train to Buffalo and on July 4, they headed for Milwaukee landing after 
a four days' trip.
The family then came to the town of Two Rivers and located on what is now known 
as the Mishicot Road, then but a trail, where they took up 80 acres of wild land. 
For many years, he owned and operated the brewery here.
John remained at home until he was married to Miss Catherine Gueif, a native of 
Luxemberg, who came to the Unites States with a sister. After remaining with his 
father for three years, he moved on his farm in section 17, Town of Mishicot, 
then a tract of 80 acres of wild land. He was an industrious farmer and good 
neighbor. He is survived by a widow and four sons, John, Chas., Nick and Joseph 
and two daughters, Mrs. Andrew Frank and Mrs. Arnold Zander.

COUNTY PIONEER CALLED BY DEATH
Jos. Scheuer(sic) of Mishicot Came Here With His Parents in 1847
WENT TO MISHICOT SCHOOL
Underwent Great Hardships in Early Years; A Farmer All His Life
Jos. Scheuer, one of the old pioneer residents of Mishicot died on Sunday at the 
home of his daughter, Mrs. Andrew Frank. Deceased was born March 2, 1835 in the 
Rhine Province, Germany, a son of Nic and Catherine Scheuer. In 1847, Mr. Scheuer's 
parents came to the United States with their three children, Joseph, John and 
Catherine and landing in New York, took a steamer on the Hudson river to Albany. 
From that city, they went by train to Buffalo and on July 4th, between four and 
five o'clock they cleared for Milwaukee, landing after a four days' trip, between 
nine and ten o'clock at the pier, there being no harbor there in that year. The 
family then came to the Town of Two Rivers and located on what is now known as the 
Mishicot Road, then but a trail where they took up eighty acres of wild land, at a 
time when bears and wolves were numerous in the forest and hardships many and 
conveniences none. The father built a log cabin twenty by twenty-six feet and a 
log barn and the family set to work to clear the land. Joseph Scheuer attended 
school in Germany for six years and completed his education in the schools of 
Mishicot, afterward remaining at home until he was married to Miss Catherine Gueif, 
a native of Luxemburg, who came to the United States with a sister. After remaining 
with his father for three years he moved on his farm on Section 17, Town of Mishicot, 
then a tract of eighty acres of wild land where he built a log cabin and began a 
farm with a yoke of steers. Here he died at the home of his daughter. He was an 
industrious and successful farmer and neighborly citizen, a staunch example of the 
pioneers of the middle west.
Funeral was held at Mishicot Wednesday morning, the ceremonies being performed by 
Rev. Father Bastian, assisted by Rev. Father Beile of Holy Cross Church. Mr. Scheuer 
is survived by a widow and four sons, John, Chas., Nick and Jos., and two daughters, 
Mrs. Andrew Frank and Mrs. Arnold Zander

Correction:
Last week in publishing the obituary notice for Mr. Scheuer, we got the facts 
through the telephone and in some details did not get them straight. Deceased 
was born in 1839 and has for 27 years been proprietor of the Mishicot Brewery. 
John G. Scheuer received but a meager education in the district school and was 
engaged in farming pursuits on the home farm until 1872 when on the death of 
his father he took over the operation of the farm conducted the same until 1884. 
In that year he purchased the old Linsted Brewery in Michicot which had been 
built in the years 1864 to 1865. Mr. Scheuer has conducted the brewery up to 
the present time and has increased its capacity from about eight hundred barrels 
to between four and five thousand.
He was married in 1862 to Miss Francis Paulu, a native of Bohemia who survives 
him. After the death of his father, Nicholas, John G. Scheuer conducted the farm 
until 1884. His death closed a very successful career. In relating the facts of 
the Scheuer's family arrival here, etc. in 1947 and other particulars, the article 
of last week's issue was correct.
