Death Friday last week of Mrs. A. Terens, widow of John H. Terens who died 
here several years ago, at the residence of her brother-in-law, A. Nocker, 
where she was visiting. Mrs. Terens was an old resident of our village and

AUGUST C. TERENS  (d. 1934)
 
Mishicot's "Grand Old Man," August Terens, Observes His Ninetieth 
Milestone Sunday
Nearly 50 relatives, friends and neighbors helped August Terens, 
Mishicot's "grand old man," and lone survivor of the local G.A.R. post
celebrated his 90th birthday anniversary on the old homestead in 
"French Settlement," a mile and one-half southwest of that village 
Sunday. Despite his advanced age, Mr. Terens is in the best of health
and expects to reach the century milestone. He is living in retirement
on the old homestead now operated by his son, Oscar, and is again
enjoying the hunting season.
For more than 75 years Mr. Terens has been an ardent disciple of Izaak
Walton, and most always brings home the prized game of that vicinity.
He has not missed securing a hunting license for years.
Mishicot's "grand old man," beloved by its citizens and neighboring
residents for miles around came to Mishicot from Germany in his early
youth, and has always resided in that vicinity since. When the "North"
called for volunteers August Terens was among the first to answer, and
he now remains the sole survivor of the Grand Army Republic post of 
this city. For more than 50 years he has been a member of the Odd
Fellows of this city, having been honored by the local lodge here two
years ago.
Nearly 50 years ago Mr. Terens built the first brick structure in 
Mishicot, the Badger State Hotel, which he operated for many years.
Retiring from the business more than 25 years ago he sold the hotel to
Fabian Cretton, who died early this year. Following his disposal of 
the well known old hostelry in Mishicot he purchased the farm of the
late Anton Cayo on the King's Bridge road, with his son Oscar 
operating it in later years.
For years Mr. Terens has been a colorful figure in the Memorial Day
exercises in Two Rivers. Two years ago the carriage conveyed his only
other comrade, the late Matt Haag of the town of Mishicot, but he rode
alone this year.

August Terens, 92, Last of G.A.R. Roster in Two Rivers, Gets Call.
Civil War Veteran Dies at Home Near Mishicot on Monday Evening.
August Terens, 91 years old, last member of the Rankin post, G.A.R., of 
Two Rivers, died at 10:15 o’clock Monday night at his home, two miles 
southwest of Mishicot. His death leaves but one Civil War veteran in 
Manitowoc County, Carl Rieck, 85, who resides three miles northwest of 
the village of Cleveland. 
Mr. Teren’s death was due to the infirmities of old age. He had been in 
failing health for some time and was confined to his bed for the last 
month. His health was such as to prevent his participation in the Memorial 
Day services this year. Up to two or three years ago, however, he enjoyed 
good health and was able to indulge in his favorite recreation, hunting 
in the woods. An enthusiastic woodsman and hunter, he preferred rabbits 
and partridge for his game. His other hobby was sheephead. 
Mr. Terens was born in Germany Oct. 23, 1843, and came to Wisconsin at 
the age of four years. His father was French and his mother German. He 
related that his grandfather died in the Napoleonic wars in Europe. After 
arriving in the United States, the family tried out settlements at 
Sheboygan, Port Washington and the Town of Franklin in Kewaunee County 
before establishing a permanent home at Mishicot. 
Enlisted in 1861
Mr. Terens enlisted in the union army in 1861, joining the Second Wisconsin 
Calvary under Col. Washburn. He was Col. Washburn’s orderly and as such was 
sent on many important missions. At one time, he was a member of Gen. U.S. 
Grant’s bodyguard. He and Col. Washburn were among the first men to enter 
the courthouse at the surrender of Vicksburg. Mr. Terens was extremely proud 
of the latter fact. Despite active duty, Mr. Terens escaped injury during 
the war. 
He served in the army 3 years and 10 months and also did some Indian fighting 
under General Custer before he returned to Mishicot. Mr. Terens was a tinsmith 
by trade in the early days but he was credited with the erection of the Badger 
State House at Mishicot which still stands. He built and operated a saloon at 
Mishicot and with his brother John, operated a hardware store.
In 1884 Mr. Terens traded the saloon for the homestead farm where he resided 
up to the time of his death. In later years, the farm was owned by his son 
Oscar but Mr. Terens, up to a few years ago, maintained “bachelor” quarters 
which were an attraction for the men of the community. Near his stove in his 
small sitting room, Mr. Terens would hold the center of attention, telling 
of experiences of his youth and of the community, formerly known as French 
Settlement. 
80 Years Ago 
Mr. Terens, in telling of his war experiences, related that the members of 
the community to which he was attached were frequently utilized as scouts and 
often called in to the rescue of infantry found to be in a “tight squeeze.” 
He also related that his family, when it settled in this part of the state 
more than 80 years ago, suspected that Indians were responsible for the 
destruction of their home by fire. 
In 1867 Mr. Terens married Miss Bertha Meyer. The ceremony was performed by 
Sen. Joe Rankin at Mishicot. Mrs. Terens died in 1914. Ten children were born 
to them, four of them surviving Mr. Terens. The three sons are George, Duluth; 
Harry, Green Bay; and Oscar on the homestead, and the daughter is Mrs. Ella 
Kahlenberg, Green Bay. Survivors also include 15 grandchildren and three great-
grandchildren. 
Mr. Terens was a member of the Odd Fellows Order for 59 years. On May 24, 1930, 
he was presented with a 50-year jewel by the Wisconsin Grand Lodge and a year 
later, received the 55-year jewel.

TRIBUTE PAID AUGUST TERENS
Veterans, Odd Fellows and the Women’s Corps Assist in Rites.
Veterans’ organizations, the Women’s Relief Corps, and the Odd Fellows 
Lodge of Two Rivers joined with citizens of Mishicot Thursday morning 
in paying final tribute to the late August Terens, last member of the 
Rankin G.A.R. Post, Two Rivers. He died Monday night and funeral 
services were held from the Holy Cross Church in the village. The Rev. 
Father Alfred Pritzl officiated. 
Odd Fellows acted as pallbearers. They were Andrew Smith, Ephraim Gauthier, 
George Schmidt, Adolph Eckhardt, Antoine Gauthier and August Sonning. Mr. 
Terens was a member of the Odd Fellows Lodge for 55 years. 
The relief corps from this city held special services at the grave. Those 
taking part were Mmes. Emma Jaeger, Nellie Cary, William Williamson, Ole 
Evanson, John Koskamp, William Wagner. Edw. Schreihart, Anna Reimer, 
Herbert Bentheimer. 
The body was escorted to the church from the home and later to the cemetery 
by the Burns post squad. Representatives of the Veterans of Foreign Wars 
and other groups also attended.

HARVEY TERENS

Harvey Terens of Mishicot is Victim of Crash.
Sustains Skull Fracture When He is Tossed Out of Car Sunday Evening. 
MANITOWOC – A 39-year-old, Mishicot man was killed instantly when 
he was thrown from his car after a collision with a power pole in 
the town of Cooperstown Sunday evening. 
Harvey Terens apparently died of a skull fracture, Dr. Theodor Teitgen, 
County Coroner, theorized. Terens also sustained fractures of several 
bones, the coronary added. His death is the second to be charged in 
traffic in Manitowoc County this year. The first occurred Jan. 11 when 
Mrs. Richard Warren of Valders died under her husband’s overturned car 
near Valders.
According to a story given county traffic officers Edward McConnell 
and William Falvey by David Lawrenz, 24, also of Mishicot, a passenger 
in the 1951 coupe, the vehicle failed to make a curve in County Trunk T, 
1-1/2 miles north of Rosecrans. It careened over a pile of hard-packed 
snow, rolling over. The side of the coupe smashed into the heavy pole, 
felling it. The auto came to rest on its wheels, the pole fell across 
a town road which intersects the county trunk. 
Thrown 20 Feet 
The impact of the crash threw Terens through an open car door onto the 
town road, a distance of about 20 feet, Office Falvey reported. Lawrenz 
sustained minor injuries to his hand and neck. He was found in a dazed 
condition by a farmer as he walked away from the wreck. The automobile 
was termed a total wreck by Officer Falvey. 
The accident occurred  about 150 yards away from a gravel pit in which 
Alfred Rasmussen, 33-year-old, Cooperstown farmer, drowned in November 
of 1946. Rasmussen had driven his truck into the pit when he apparently 
mistook a road leading to it for the driveway of his home in a fog. 
Funeral services for Terens, a painter, will be held at 9:30 a.m. 
Wednesday at the Specht Funeral Home, Mishicot, and at 10 a.m. at the 
Holy Cross Catholic Church, with Rev. George Beth officiating. 
Operated Service Station 
Terens was born in the Town of Mishicot in 1912, a son of Oscar and Rose 
Meyer Terens. He had lived in Mishicot all his life, operating the Shell 
Oil station in the village for a number of years before turning to 
construction work and painting. He was a member of the Catholic Knights 
of Wisconsin. 
He is survived by his parents; three sisters, Mrs. Anthony Gollata of 
Manitowoc, Mrs. Ervin Reynolds of the town of Kossuth, and Mrs. Giles 
Shedlosky of Two Rivers; and two brothers, Ralph of the Town of Kossuth, 
and Arthur of Manitowoc. 
Friends may call at the funeral home from 7 p.m. Monday until time of 
services. The rosary will be recited there at 8 p.m. Tuesday.

JOHN H. TERENS PASSES AWAY
At his home in Mishicot last Thursday afternoon, July 21st, John H. Terens died 
after an illness of about a month's duration. The deceased was born at Kempen, 
Prussia, Nov. 2nd, 1833, and was seventy-on years old at the time of his death.

marriage, the young couple went to California, where they remained until 1862, 
when they came to Mishicot, Wis. They were among the pioneer settlers of that 
town. Mr. Terens established a hardware store and met with much success as a 
business man. A lover of nature, art and curiosities, he founded a private museum 
which is one of the finest collections of its kind in the state.
He served in the Civil war in the Twenty-seventh Wisconsin Infantry. He was a 
member of the F.A.R. and also of the Sons of Herman and the Free Masons.

In as much as it has pleased the Omnipotent Ruler of the Universe to remove from 
among us one of our  most esteemed and honored members, John H. Terens, whose 
presence was always heartily welcomed and whose genial countenance foretold his 
whole-souled disposition. Mr. Terens was born in Kempen, Prussia, Nov. 2nd, 1833

had quite an extensive private museum consisting of many ancient relics, rare and 
valuable specimens and curiosities. His ambition in this respect being far in 
advance of his environments. His vegetables, fruits and flowers with which his 
home was bountifully supplied, were the admiration of his many friends who came 
to spend a pleasant hour. His jovial disposition and funny stories never failed 
to excite mirth and no one failed to enjoy the company of this time-honored friend. 
Besides being a member and president of the local beekeepers association, he was a

A Late Fire Escape
John Terens came home from Milwaukee last Wednesday with the smell 
of fire upon his garments and a soreness of body that will prevent him 
from enjoying sitting down for days to come. He had on a brand new long 
tailed coat which he did not wear when he went away and he kept it buttoned 
up as to conceal a big hole in his pants which had evidently been burned 
there. And so it had, at least Fred Quistorf and Louis Levenhagen, who 
had been with him in Milwaukee and came home with him said.
How the fire originated, they could not say but they think it was a case of 
spontaneous combustion induced by the presence of a red-headed woman 
who sat opposite him in a trolly car which he had taken for a trip to the 
Soldier's Home and who sized him up as if to discover if he were somebody's 
lost darling.  At any rate, there was a fire started in some way under John's 
left coattail in the vicinity of the pocket in which he carried his pipe and 
supply of tobacco. The smoke and fumes began to sneeze and phew with 
irritation and disgust.  AT last someone remarked that something was 
surely burning in the car and John, after taking one or two good sniffs 
exclaimed, "Mishicott tobacker by thunder" and he reached for his pipe 
and tobacco pocket. His hand hardly reached the inside of the pocket, 
however, before it came out again much quicker than it went in as John, 
leaping from the car, started for the nearest hydrant yelling "Fire" at 
every jump, loud enough to call out the entire city fire department.  
A policeman,  seeing what was up, promptly turned on the water from 
the hydrant and succeeded in putting out the fire and saving his life, 
though he nearly drowned him in doing so. 
When John got over his fright and illustration he took a careful 
inventory of his losses and found that he was out a Sunday coat and a 
pair of Sunday pants, though the pants he concluded to wear home as 
evidence of his mishap and that he had not put them "in soak" and to 
have them patched up so that they could be worn around home. 
Fortunately the clothing house of Skinmore & Co., was only about a 
block away and there he went and purchased a coat long enough to 
conceal the mishap to his pants and good enough to wear to meeting. 
John swears that he was the blamed electricity that set him on fire 
and denies in total the story of the red-headed woman. The probability 
is, however, that John's old pipe had something to do in the starting of 
the fire.

Notes From Mishicott:
DIED: - Thursday morning, Mar. 17, Mrs. Wm. Tisch, quietly breathed her last.
In death of this woman who with pathetic fortitude passed through twenty one 
years of widowhood, faithful unto death to the memory of a long dead husband 
and true to the task which fell to her lot, we have seen pass from our sight, 
as beautiful an example of a mother's enduring love, as is given men to witness. 
Long ago deprived of a husband's love and protection this noble woman took up 
the double burden thus forced upon her and for over a score of years she has 
lived only for her children, and strove to do for them all that a father could 
have done had he lived. To those who knew her her death seemed very sad for it 
seems but yesterday that she was amongst us, her benignant face and indulgent 
smile making all who met her, love her. 
Deceased was born in Mecklenburg Schwerin in Germany in the year 1837, came to 
America with a brother in the year 1853 and was married in 1862. Her husband 
becoming despondent over certain business transactions, died an unhappy man over 
twenty years ago. Many of the older settlers of this vicinity remember him well 
and speak highly of his integrity and worth and the fidelity of his widow won 
from all every sentiment of respect and esteem. The surviving children are William, 
who is in South Bend, Ind., Julius and Emil are businessmen of Grand Rapids, Mich., 
and John who has charge of the farm, and two daughters, Laura and Sophia. Funeral 
took place Sunday in the public cemetery in this village, Mr. H. Falge of Manitowoc 
delivering the funeral oration. We extend to the bereaved family our heartfelt 
sympathy at the loss of a kind, loving and indulgent mother.
The following relatives and friends from distant points, attended the funeral: 
Mrs. S. Bartsch of Milwaukee, Mr. M. Wirth of Milwaukee, Mrs. S. Scheuber of 
Milwaukee, Mr. Wm. Tisch of South Bend, Ind., Mr. Julius Tisch and wife of Grand 
Rapids, Mich., Mr. Emil Tisch and wife of Grand Rapids, Mich.

WILLIAM TISCH

SUICIDE.
The Way Hon. Wm. Tisch took Himself off while Insane.
The town of Mishicott was cast into a a (sic) furore of intense excitement on 
Saturday afternoon by the intelligence that Wm. Tisch had shot himself, and 
almost the entire village hurried to his residence to ascertain the truth of 
the report. They found it correct, and from one who was there shortly after the 
event we learn that the particulars of the case are about as follows: Two years 
ago this summer Mr. Tisch was laid up with a sunstroke from which he apparently 
recovered, but its effect on his mind has ever since been noticable, increasing 
with time, until for the past few months he has been continually out of his head. 
He has been complaining of feeling poorly, and frequently expressed the belief 
that he should not live but a short time, and was afraid he would die in the poor 
house. At dinner time on Saturday he refused to eat, and while the family were 
at the table went out for a walk in the garden. His protracted absence was not 
noticed until nearly four o'clock, when his wife found that his gun was gone, and 
that he had taken the path from the garden to the swamp back of the house. She 
feared he might do some injury to himself, and summoning some neighbors, started 
them in search of him. When near the middle of the swamp one of the party became 
caught in the brush and halloed (sic) for help, and at this moment a gun shot was 
heard immediately in front, about a hundred steps off. The party hastened forward, 
and found Mr. Tisch on his knees on two fallen trees with the gun in front. He 
spoke to one of the men, Hans Beier, an intimate friend, saying that he used to 
be a pretty good marksman, but had made a poor shot that time-meaning that he had 
failed to cause immediate death-and then became unconscious. He was taken to his 
home and medical aid summoned, but all efforts were in vain. The ball passed from 
the lower abdomen upward and backward, lodging under the shoulder blade, injuring 
him internally so that he died about 8 o'clock that evening in great pain. The 
funeral was held on Monday at 2 o'clock and was the largest ever witnessed in 
Mishicott-thus showing the high esteem in which he was held by all who knew him. 
The Herman's Sons lodges of Manitowoc, Two Rivers and Mishicott were in attendance, 
together with friends from all parts of this and Kewaunne counties.
Mr. Tisch has been a resident of Mishicott from many years, and has been honored 
with several offices of public trust including Member of Assembly-to which he was 
elected in 1875.
Deceased was thirty-eight years of age in November last, and leaves a wife, and six 
children between the ages of four and fourteen, in very good circumstances. His 
premature death is regretted by all who knew him. May he rest in peace.
Manitowoc Pilot, Thursday, September 13, 1877 P. 3
************
It is pretty generally believed now that the death of Hon. Wm. Tisch was due 
entirely to his own act, and was not the result of an accident, as was stated 
in our last. Four years ago he was sunstruck and since that time he has been 
subject to fits of temporary insanity, and it was probably during one of these 
fits that he took his own life.-Chronicle.

NICHOLAS TROSSEN

On Tuesday afternoon there died at Mishicot at the age of 75 years, Nicholas 
Trossen, father of Mrs. O. Zander of this city. Concerning the decedent the 
Manitowoc Daily Herald says:
“In the village in which he located as a boy sixty years ago and the growth 
and development of which he has been identified with since, Nicholas Trossen, 
one of the oldest pioneers of the county died at Mishicot Tuesday aged 75. 
Mr. Trossen had been a resident of the county since 15 years of age and was 
known throughout the county and was respected by all who knew him. Funeral 
services will be held on Sunday afternoon at Mishicot under auspices of the 
Two Rivers lodge of the Masonic order of which he was a prominent member.  
Mr. Trossen came west in the early fifties and became one of the land owners 
of Manitowoc County, engaged in farming and he continued in agriculture until 
his retirement from active pursuits when advancing age made its demands upon 
him. Mr. Trossen despite his age was in robust health up to a year ago when 
his condition caused anxiety and he failed until death came to claim him 
Tuesday.
Mr. Trossen took an active interest in public affairs and was a progressive 
type of man. He was prominent in the Masonic order and was known in this city. 
Decedent also served in the Union Army during the Civil War, being a member 
of Co. E, 27 Wis. Inf.  
Seven children survive Mr. Trossen, Mrs. H. J. Kneupfer, Chicago, Mrs. Otto 
Zander, Brillion, Rose, Chicago, Lillian and William, Mishicot, August, 
Birnamwood, John of Antigo.  A widow also survives, one brother, Jacob and one 
sister, Mrs. Edw Sanz both of Mishicot mourn his demise. 
Decedent was a man of great probity and strength of character, and withal 
possessing a tender heart, lavishing a wealth of simple, kindly love upon those 
who were near and dear to him. Himself a type of sturdy, self reliant manhood, 
he inculcated these qualities into the minds of his children who will always 
revere his memory as that of one who in a long life of strenuous struggle and 
endeavor had never but two loves, Home and Family.”

WILLIAM TROSSEN

Funeral of Will Trossen at Mishicot
The funeral of William Trossen at Mishicot Monday afternoon was one 
of the largest in that section in years. The funeral was in charge 
of the Mishicot Camp of Modern Woodmen and the eulogy was read by 
neighbor Charles Randolph of Two Rivers. The songs rendered by the 
mourning Camp were beautiful and the floral offerings were lavish. 
There was an immense assemblage of people, neighbors and friends, 
many of whom had laid aside important labors on the fields to pay 
their last respects to a highly esteemed citizen and good neighbor. 
He had always taken a keen and intelligent interest in public affairs 
and served several terms on the Mishicot School Board. On the death 
of his father, Nicholas Trossen, who had conducted this farm since 
1862, the decedent and his loyal wife, formerly Ella Brodkorb, 
continued the operation of this fine old homestead farm with such 
success that it is now regarded as one of the most valuable farm 
properties in Manitowoc county.

stepmother, two brothers, A. N. Trossen of Appleton and John 
Trossen of Antigo; three sisters, Mrs. H. J. Knuepfer and Miss

WAYNE TUMA

Tuma Drowns in Harpt Lake
Larrabee - Harpt Lake, a 27 acre body of water located northwest of this 
community, claimed its second life in two weeks Sunday.
Latest victim was identified by county authorities as Wayne Tuma, 25, formerly 
of rural Two Rivers, but more recently a resident of Rockford, Ill.
Dr. Theodore Teitgen, county coroner, said Tuma and his recent bride, were in 
the water together when he apparently stumbled over backwards and sank below 
the surface.  She went for help but the body was in the water for about 10 
minutes before it was received, Doctor Teitgen said.
Dead on Arrival
The corner (sic) reported that Tuma drowned in water that reached just above 
his waist. The accident occurred at about 5:50 p.m.
Tuma was dead on arrival at Two Rivers Municipal Hospital.  Pat Finnel of the 
Larrabee area tried unsuccessfully to revive the victim with mouth to mouth 
resuscitation from the lake all the way to the hospital.
Tuma's mother and wife were taken to the hospital in a state of shock.  The 
mother was released later Sunday but his wife was hospitalized overnight.
Tuma and his wife had come to this area to visit his parents and relatives over 
the weekend.
Cautions Swimmers
Doctor Teitgen cautioned swimmers to avoid going into the cold lake water after 
drinking beer.  It was reported that Tuma had been drinking prior to the accident.
Beer is available at the lake at a concession stand owned by the Larrabee 
Sportsmen's Club and operated by a Manitowoc man.
The coroner asked the sheriff's department to investigate the possibility that 
underage youths were drinking beer in the swimming area located on the east side 
of the lake.
Lyle L. Kluck, 19, Two Rivers, drowned in the same lake June 9.  He reportedly 
went under after suffering a cramp while swimming with a female companion near a 
raft in the swimming area.
Funeral Services
Funeral services for Tuma will be 9:30 a.m. Wednesday at Lambert Funeral Home, 
Mishicot, and at 10 a.m. at Holy Cross Catholic Church, Mishicot.  The Rev. 
Anthony Betley officiating.  Burial will be in the parish cemetery.
The deceased was born Dec. 28, 1942, in the town of Gibson, son of Doolan and 
Clara Schwoerer Tuma.  He attended Larrabee District No. 1 Graded school and was 
graduated from Mishicot Community High School in 1960.  He served in the U.S. 
Army and was married April 30, 1968.  At the time of his death he was employed by 
the Arthur Murray dance studio at Rockford.
Survivors in addition to his wife and parents include five brothers and two sisters. 
A brother, Donald, died in 1955 while serving in the U.S. Army.  
Friends may call at the funeral home after 3 p.m. Tuesday where the Rosary will be 
recited at 8 p.m.
