IGNATZ BLAHA FATHER OF MERCER TEACHER STRIKEN Ignatz Blaha Spent Last Several Summers with Son Mercer, Wis., March 16 - Word was received here Tuesday that Ignatz Blaha, 69, father of Julius Blaha, Mercer teacher, died at his Two Rivers, Wis., home early Tuesday morning. Death resulted from pneumonia. Mr. Blaha was well known here having spent the past several summers in Mercer and at the Big Lake resort of another son, Otto. He was an ardent fisherman and hunter. Ironwood Daily Globe, Wed., Mar. 6, 1940 page 2 ********* HISTORY OF BLAHA HOMESTEAD DATES BACK TO DAYS OF NERO AND THE PFISTER TANNERY THERE Back in 1860 or thereabouts, a little village of Nero vied with Manitowoc for the position of leading city in this section of the state but today, all that is left of Nero is the memory of it by some of our older residents in the Township of Two Creeks. Ignatz Blaha, 60 year old retired farmer, living with his son, Victor on the Blaha homestead, route 1, still recalls some of the events and activities of that extinct village which played such an important part in the early history of Two Creeks. Frank Blaha, the father of Ignatz, came over from Bohemia sometime about 1860 and secured a job in the tannery at Nero. Practically all the land in that section of the county was owed by Pfister who operated the tannery. Many years before Pfister had purchased thousands of acres of land along the lakefront to operate his saw mill and tannery. As soon as the lumber and tan bark was removed from an acre of land, the land was sold to men who wished to clear it for agricultural purposes. The best customers for this type of land were the employees of the tannery, who paid for it by their labor in the tannery. Frank Blaha secured his first 40 acres of land in this manner. He put up a log shack during spare time before and after working hours to house his family. Ignatz recalls that there was a logging camp located to the west and the logs were conveyed to the saw mill at Nero on a narrow gauge track. The cars coasting down from the camp on a natural incline to the lake front from where they were hauled back to the camp by oxen to be reloaded with logs. Frank Blaha raised a large family, paid for his original 40 acres and added 40 more acres to it later on. In due course of time, the farm passed into the possession of Ignatz. The tannery village of Nero was completely destroyed by fire and was never built up again and the present hamlet of Two Creeks sprang up along the highway. Ignatz carried on the task of improving the farm, paid off the heirs and saw the township of Two Creeks change from a wilderness into a highly developed agricultural area. He started breeding a herd of holstein cattle in about 1902 and at the present time has a fine herd of about 25 head of high producing Holsteins, the greater share of which are registered. The barn and house have been modernized and a few years ago his son, Victor, took over the management of the farm and is carrying on the work of improvement and progress started by his grandfather.

JOHN BURESH DEATH COMES AT HOSPITAL EARLY TODAY Struck By Auto Truck Tuesday Night And Is Fatally Hurt John Buresh, 50, injured when he was struck by an auto truck of the Spindler Company when the truck skidded as the driver attempted to avoid striking the man when he fell from his bicycle in the roadway on North Eleventh Street Tuesday night, died at the hospital early this morning. Buresh suffered a fracture of the skull and had his lung punctured by a rib which was driven through it by force of the truck striking him. Little hope had been held out that Buresh would survive his injuries. The accident was due to slippery condition of the pavement. Paul Martin, driver of the Spindler truck, was returning from a delivery call at Eleventh and St. Clair Streets. Buresh, who was on a bicycle ahead of the truck, started to turn off onto St. Clair when he fell or alighted from the bicycle and was thrown to the roadway. Martin, in endeavoring to avoid striking the man, applied his brakes and the truck skidded, a hub cap of the wheel striking Buresh, as the man was raising himself. Buresh was taken to the hospital where an operation was undertaken to remove the rib found to have gone through the lung. Funeral Saturday Mr. Buresh who was a mason and lived at 418 York street, was 50 years of age and a native of Bohemia. He came to America in middle age and for years, made his home at Ashland where he married Katherine Slou, who, with four children, the oldest 11 and the youngest one year, survive, the children being Elizabeth, Lillian, Francis and Mary Jane. Two brothers and two sisters, all residing in Bohemia, also survive. Funeral services will be held Saturday morning at 8:30 from the Urbanek and Wattawa Chapel and at 9 at Sacred Heart church.
