PAULINE BAIVIER Herr Paulin Baivier, ein Junggeselle, starb am Samstag in Heim seines Bruders, Francis, nach lang Wierigen Leiden am Magenkrels. Der Verstorbene war 63 Jahre, 10 Monate, und 9 Tage alt geworden. Kiel National Zeitung, Thurs. June 26, 1902
MATHEW BENSON The following was taken from the Cherokee, Iowa, Democrat: The death of Mathew Benson, which occurred in this city Monday evening, brought universal sorrow to the community. “Matt” as he was familiarly known, had been ill about ten days, but from the start his sickness was of a serious nature— pneumonia being the complaint—and for several days it was felt that he could not survive. He was a man of splendid physique and apparently always in the enjoyment of good health. His only weakness was in his lungs and this made him a comparatively easy victim for the dread disease which so quickly carried him away. The deceased lacked two days of being 35 years of age. He came to Cherokee from Wisconsin some fourteen years ago and has spent these years here in various pursuits. Among his fellow men he made a reputation and a record for goodness of character which any young man might be proud to leave behind. He was quiet and unassuming, reliable in every position of trust, honorable in the highest degree and generous to a fault. When we hear the living speak so kindly of the dead as they have of Matt Benson we feel that the life of such a one is worthy of emulation. The funeral services were held at the Catholic church at noon yesterday, where the remains lay until 10 o’clock, when they were taken to Elkhart Lake, for interment. The fire department, of which deceased was assistant chief and treasurer, escorted the remains to the depot. Richard Benson, a brother, and M. H. Goggins, a cousin, arrived from Wisconsin previous to Matt’s death and accompanied the remains to their last resting place. A father, four brothers and three sisters are left to mourn. “Loving friends, weep not for him, he longed to be at rest; How happy, happy he shall be when pillowed on his Savior’s breast. O, the hope, the hope is sweet, that we soon in Heaven may meet; Where we shall happy be, rest from pain and sorrow free. Chilton Times, February 1892
