WALSH, HENRY COMER January 25, 1858 - November 26, 1897 Henry Walsh Dies Mrs. F. Walsh of this city received a telegram last Friday announcing the sudden death of her son, Henry, whose home was in Redfield, South Dakota, where he has for several years past practiced law. Only a few days previous he wrote her a letter in which he stated that he was somewhat unwell but he evidently did not consider his condition in the least serious. From what is known here as yet the supposition is that his death was caused by pneumonia. His brother, John of Kewaunee, drove here that afternoon and left on the evening train to Redfield, intending to bring the body here for interment, but different arrangements were made after he arrived in Redfield and consulted with the family and friends of the deceased. It was concluded to bury the remains in Redfield. Henry Walsh was born in Two Rivers about 40 years ago and was educated in our public schools. For several years he taught school in the county and finally took up the study of law. Upon admission to the bar he located at Redfield, South Dakota and began the practice of law which he continued until the time of his death. Personally he was thoroughly honorable and upright, genial and gracious. Professionally he must have stood high as he was at one time a candidate for Attorney General of that state on the democratic ticket. His mother and sisters here have the sympathy of a wide circle of friends. Manitowoc County Chronicle, Tues., Nov. 30, 1897

WILLARD, HAROLD d. July 5, 1919 DROWNED IN EAGLE RIVER Harold Willard, Teacher in City Schools Here; Loses Life in Swimming STUDYING FOR MINISTRY Sank in Mid Channel While Out With Party of Boy Scouts The many friends and acquaintances of Harold Willard were greatly shocked and saddened when it was learned on Friday that a telegram to Superintendent Wm. T. Darling had brought the news of Mr. Willard's death by drowning in Eagle River. A special correspondent of the Reporter near the scene of the accident gives the following account of the circumstances attending Mr. Willard. "He had gone up to Eagle River to work on a circuit for twenty-five Sunday schools in that vicinity this summer. He went out with a Scoutmaster and his boy scouts for the day's outing. All went in swimming. The Scoutmaster and his boys started to cross the channel from one lake to another, but Mr. Willard said he would not go with them, as he thought he could not make it. But they thought he could and determined to be as "game" as the others, he resolved to set out with the rest and they all started across. About in the middle of the channel a wave broke over his head and he lost his nerve, the Scoutmaster said and called for help. The Scoutmaster went to his aid (he had gone down once) and both went down twice together. The Scoutmaster was unable to save him." The body had been in the water one and one-half hours when recovered. The funeral was held in New London, Wis., from the home of an aunt and was under Masonic auspices. Two Rivers Lodge No. 200 F & AM, the Board of Education and the Bible School of Grace Church of this city each contributed a beautiful floral piece. The funeral was Saturday. Mr. Willard was for several years a teacher in the city schools here. Last year he was in the army service and upon his return was re-engaged to teach. He was deeply interested in all lines of educational work and of proved worth in the profession. The past year was to have been his last as a school teacher. He was taking a course to fit him for the ministry. Sunday, July 6th, he was to have preached his first sermon at Eagle River. His death is keenly felt in Grace Church where he often sang in the choir and was actively interested in all branches of church work. Deceased leaves his father, mother and a younger brother.
