HANSEN, JULIA Born on August 18, 1899 in Manitowoc County, Julia grew up with her two brothers on a farm. Julia recalls walking three miles to school. Sometimes there was a ride when her father drove to the cheese factory to sell his milk. At the age of 13 Julia started working at the Pet Milk Company and the walk was 4 1/2 miles each way. There were two dance halls about four miles away. Julia remembers that "We walked to the dance, danced all night (in high-top shoes), then walked home. We might not get home until three or so in the morning." At 18, Julia married Martin Hansen, a farmer who lived nearby. They had one child. Although she drove horses on the farm, Julia walked the four miles to their church. "No matter what, walking was our way of life."

HANSON, OLAF A bad accident happened Fri. afternoon in Branch. A threshing machine had been in use on the farm of Jacob Brey near Branch and was being moved to the next farm. Olaf Hanson, one of the crew, wanted to grease the machine and stood on the end of the sideboard. The machine gave a lurch because of the uneven roadway and threw him from where he had been standing directly in front of the rear assembly. Before it could be brought to a stop a rear wheel went over his entire left side crushing his chest. It took 15 mins. before medical help could be obtained and during that period he died. The unfortunate man was 33 yrs. old, single, and lived with his parents in Town Manitowoc Rapids about a mile from where he had been working. In addition to his parents he is survived by 3 brothers and a sister. The funeral took place Mon. in the cemetery near Gjerpen. Der Nord Westen, 07 Sep. 1899 ***** FATAL ACCIDENT Olaf Hanson of Manitowoc Rapids was almost instantly killed on Friday last by being run over by a traction engine to run a thrashing machine. Work on the farm of Jacob Brey was completed and the machine was being moved to the farm of a neighbor, Samuel Olson. As the engine was entering the yard the gate was not open sufficiently and Hanson who was on the engine, stood on one of the large wheels to push the gate open while the engine was in motion. He fell and a wheel passed over a part of his breast and one arm, crushing his life out. He was 33 years old, unmarried and a very respectable man. His remains were interred at Jerpen, Rev. Mr. Thorsen of this city officiating. A few years ago a brother lost both legs in the lumber woods.

HARTMAN, FRED HORRIBLE AFFAIR. A friend has furnished us with the particulars of a most horrible affair which occurred at Maple Grove on the night of Wednesday last. An insane man named Stieber residing at the house of a Mr. Fred. Hartman during a paryxism of his disease insisted upon removing his bed to the cellar, to escape as he said from the devils which were pursuing him. He took a pitchfork and a clasp knife with him and the family retired for the night. In the night Mr. Hartmann was wakened by a noise in the cellar and sprung from his bed to learn the cause. A soon as he reached the cellar the pitchfork was thrust into the breast piercing the lungs, and as he fell to the floor his assailant sprang upon him with the knife. He was terribly cut but was still living at last accounts though not expected to survive. His wife hearing his shrieks of distress, went to his assistance, and the knife was buried to the hilt in her back, near the shoulder blade. The wound though severe is not dangerous. Stieber escaped and has not yet been secured. -Later. We learn that the injured man has since died.

HEMPLEMAN, F. Sudden Death Yesterday Mr. F. Hempleman, an old gentleman who has lived in this village for a number of years, died very suddenly while on his way home from the chair factory, where he has been employed for some time past, to get his dinner. He had not got far from the factory when he began to feel very sick and faint, and so he sat down on the steps of Mr. Baetz's wagon shop, declaring that he could go no further, and asked Mr. Baetz to hitch up a horse and carry him home. Mr. Baetz started immediately to comply with the request, but before he could get around to the door of the shop with his horse and wagon, the men had died. The cause of his death, we understand, was heart disease. Mr. Hempleman, was a good citizen and an obliging neighbor, and his death will be mourned by other persons than those connected with his own household. Manitowoc Co. Chronicle (Two Rivers), June 22, 1875 ******** The funeral of F.

HENINGSON, JULIUS A Railroad Accident. Last night, about seven o'clock, while a freight train was switcing, another sad accident occurred. Some little boys were playing on the river bank near the railroad track, when the train backed, and one of them, Julius Heningson, about six years old, came under the wheels of a flat car. The train was immediately stopped, but at such an unfortunate time as to leave the car with one wheel resting on the hips of the boy. It is considered truly wonderful that he was not crushed to a jelly. It was impossible to relieve him from this terrible position until the train was again put in motion, when the wheel rolled from off his body. John Bacon immediately brought the little sufferer to his parents' home in the third ward. Doctor Pritchard was at once called, but it was too late, and the poor boy, continually saying "I wish I was dead," breathed his last just as the doctor arrived. Such accidents as these are apt to arouse the people, and cause them to demand some remedy for this. Railroads are important, but human lives are more precious.

HENNING, FRED JR. LOST ON THE SEA BIRD Information Relative to the Citizens of Manitowoc who were Victims of the Late Disaster. Thirty-One Persons Lost. In fulfilling the painful duty which devolves upon us at this time we have endeavored to present to our readers a correct report containing all the information in regard to the lost which we could obtain. We fear there will be some errors, but we have as far as possible obtained the statements of relatives or immediate friends of the deceased. We would that some other hand than ours--one better skilled in soothing afflicted hearts-- might perform the sad office of saying comforting words to the distressed of our Village, but it may not be and we can only say to those who suffer, you have our heartfelt sympathy-- and the sympathy of every person in Manitowoc. We have known your friends, respected them, loved them; and your loss is our loss. Let us hope that He who doeth all things well hath not permitted our friends to fall in vain. FRED HENNING JR. Father lives in Newton. Fred was a single man about 23 years of age. He was on his way to Chicago to go into business and had in his possession $500. He lived here nearly all his life and was noted for his enterprising, go-ahead character. He leaves a sister her in town. (Article continues in the same manner for each individual lost on the SEA BIRD; Geo. W. Emery, James A. Hodges, Capt. N.T. Nelson, Capt. John Sorenson, Charles Riechen, Joseph Doucett, Henry Nieman, Henry Pfeffer, James Leykom, August Wilde, Richard Flossbach, Amos Meyer, John Melka, Martin Rozezguiatee, Wm. Barter, Casper Klimer, John Foucks, Herman Jacoby, Wenzel Hawlichek, P.C. Danahy, Raymond H. Hunt, and Thorine Oleson.) OTHERS. We hear of others who were on the boat beyond a doubt--one a Norwegian who has been chopping wood in this vicinity, could not learn his name; and two girls from the country who took passage from here with the intention of going either to Milwaukee or Chicago have not been heard from since the disaster. So it will be seen there were Thirty-one from here certainly, and two doubtful, lost on the SEA BIRD. The Manitowoc Tribune Thursday, April 16, 1868 pg. 4

HICKEY, MARY Died Mrs. John Hickey of Maple Grove, died on Thursday of last week. For many years she had been an invalid and for the past few months was confined to her bed. She bore her suffering with remarkable fortitude. When her friends visited her, they were surprised at the cheerful tone of her conversation and the calm resignation with which she accepted her faith. The remains were at Maple Grove Sunday. The Brillion branch of the Catholic Knights of Wisconsin attended the funeral in a body. Mr. Hickey was a member of that branch. Mrs. Hickey was a woman of noble, sterling character and a kindly, sympathetic nature and a considerate mother, who was determined that her children should have all the education conditions afforded. She was a warm, faithful friend and well deserved the simple tribute paid her by Rev. Father when he said the presence of the Knights was an indication of a well spent life. Afflicted husband and children grieve if you must over the absence of your loved one, but let not your tears be bitter and hopeless. Place a firm trust in the bright future where suffering is unknown and in which she had such implicit faith and resign the object of your long and loving care to Him, who said, "I am the Resurrection and the Life."

HOFFMAN, ROLAND ROLAND HOFFMAN, MISSING SINCE TUESDAY, FOUND DEAD IN RIVER AT TISCH MILLS AGED MAN BELIEVED TO HAVE WALKED FROM THIS CITY TO VISIT GRAVE OF WIFE BURIED THERE THEN COMMITTED SUICIDE IN THE RIVER AT THAT PLACE LAST NIGHT REACHED TISCH MILLS THURSDAY BUT DECLINED TO STAY WITH FRIENDS Mystery of the disappearance of Roland Hoffman, an aged North side man who has been missing since Tuesday, when he left the home of his daughter here, was cleared up today when his dead body was found in the river at Tisch Mills. Circumstances point to suicide. According to reports from Tisch Mills Mr. Hoffman reached there on Thursday and the fact that it was two days after his disappearance before he arrived at Tisch Mills would indicate that he had probably attempted to walk the distance. He had no relatives in the village, but is said to have called upon two or three of his old neighbors though he is said to have refused invitations to remain with them. He had spent but a short time in the village when he disappeared and friends presumed that he had returned to this city where he had made his home the past few years. Early today people visiting the river found the dead body in the water, and it was recovered. Mr. Hoffman's body was found on the Kewaunee side of the river and the body was turned over to the coroner of that county. The river divides Manitowoc and Kewaunee counties and the aged man had crossed to the Kewaunee side. Although relatives here had suspected that Mr. Hoffman would visit Tisch Mills, inquiries there Thursday brought no information and the message today that the body had been found in that village was a surprise. Mr. Hoffman's wife is buried in the village cemetery at Tisch Mills and it is possible that the aged man, determined to end his life, set out to visit the grave of his dead wife and end life near her and midst the scenes of his early life. Report of the disappearance of Mr. Hoffman was published several days ago and relatives have been conducting a search for him. When he disappeared, Mr. Hoffman donned his best suit of clothing and carried his prayer book with him and the latter fact had been commented upon as he had not been at church. The dead man was 75 years of age and for several years had made his home here. He was in good health and no reason can be ascribed for his act, though it is believed that his mind was unbalanced. Mr. Hoffman is survived by a daughter in this city, Mrs. Adolph Schwartz, 524 North Ninth street, one daughter at Milwaukee, Mrs. John Zink and a son, Joseph, residing in the town of Franklin. One brother, residing at Coleman also survives. A report from Tisch Mills says that it is not probable that an inquest will be held. The body will be turned over to relatives and will be buried at Tisch Mills by the side of his wife. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Saturday, November 06, 1915, Page 1

HOGAN, JOHN Death of John Hogan on last Thurs. in Cooperstown. The old settler of that town was buried on Fri. Der Nord Westen, 16 May 1889
HOGAN, MARTIN A MAN KILLED - An old resident of Cooperstown named Martin Hogan was killed by his brother John Hogan last Thursday in the most brutal manner conceivable. It seems a difficulty about some land had existed for years between the brothers, and Martin had finally engaged a surveyer, Mr. Fayette Armsby of this place, to run the lines for the purpoose of ascertaining just what was right in the matter. On Thursday, at 2 p.m this was in progress, and both families were present. John's wife manifested a great deal of bad feeling towards Martin. Mr. Armsby, who was a little way in advance, heard the first blow that was struck, and turned around to see what the matter was, when a sight which must have chilled his blood met his gaze. Martin was reeling towards him with his head all cut open from the blow of an axe and John was running beside him striking as fast as he could, which con- tinued until Martin fell. John then instantly turned around to attack one of the men who had been carrying the chain, but the man darted away pursued by the assassin and for some time the chances were against the man who was pursued, but being young and strong he finally gained on the other and reached his home in safety, while John took to the woods and escaped. On going to the injured man Mr. Armsby found him in terrible condition; his eyes were chopped out and he appeared to by dying. Leaving him on the ground he ran for help, which he prcured and carried the man, who had revived a little during his absence, to his home where he died Saturday morning. John Hogan is a man of medium age and height has black hair and stoops a little; wears the appearance of a man who has worked hard, as he undoubtedly has. His action is a surprise and a mystery to his friends and acquaintances here. He has not yet been arrested. Manitowoc Tribune, Thursday, May 28, 1868 p.4 Chilton Times May 30, 1868 ******* ARREST OF HOGAN, THE MURDERER From information received last Sunday by ex-Sheriff Geo. S. Glover and Mr. Crowley, of the Pilot, they became convinced that John Hogan, who murdered his brother, Martin, in Cooperstown on the 21st. of last May, was still lurking in the vicinity where the tragedy was committed. These two gentlemen determined, if possible to apprehend Hogan, and accordingly they left here quietly on Sunday evening and took the road to Cooperstown. Aftr traveling about eighteen miles, they tied their horses in the woods and proceeded on foot, a distance of two miles, to Hogan's residence. Mr. Glover, whose experience and aptitude as a detective officer gave him the lead in the affair, deserves great credit for the shrewd and mastely manner in which he conducted operations. Messrs. Glover and Crowley reached Hogan's place about midnight, and a little skillful reconnoitering soon convinced them that the bird they were in search of was inside of the house. When they became satisfied of this fact they boldly entered the house, where they found Hogan lying on a bed, and arrested him. But a few mnutes before this he had come in from the woods to take a sleeping spell, and, although much chagrined at his arrest, he acted coolly and calmly, and came along with his captors very gracefully. He was delivered over to the Sheriff on Monday morning, and is now in jail. Since the murder, Hogan has visited Green Bay, Depere and Kewaunee. He is very penitent for the rash act, and disclaims any premeditation in committing it. Manitowoc Pilot (no date)
***** A Man Murders His Brother in Cold Blood-Tragic Termination of a Family Feud?The Murderer Still at Large. Another has been added to the already long list of homicides that have occurred in this county; and, for utter disregard of all ties of consanguinity, for deliberate, cold-blooded atrocity, this last great crime stands forth in hideous prominence, with scarcely a parallel in the criminal annals of the country. Last Thursday morning JOHN HOGAN, a farmer in the town of Cooperstown, deliberately killed his brother, MARTIN HOGAN, by striking him with an axe, driving the blade into his brain until the helve rested against his skull. This act was committed in broad daylight, and in the presence of witnesses. It was not a result of intoxication, for the murderer had, but a moment before, been conversing rationally and quietly, and was to all appearance perfectly sober. It was not the result of ungovernable, momentary passion, for the brothers had not met before on that morning, and no words passed between them when they came together for the last time?the one to be sent, without warning, into the presence of his Maker by a brother?s hand, the other to go out upon the world with the mark of Cain upon his brow, a wanderer upon the face of the earth, but with no pursuer so merciless as his own guilty conscience. It was a cold-blooded, premeditated murder, committed to avenge real or fancied wrongs the murderer had receive at the hands of his victim. There had been bad blood between the brothers for years. The cause of the estrangement between them, which has terminated thus tragically, as near as we can learn, is substantially as follows: Some ten or twelve years ago JOHN AND MARTIN HOGAN came to this county and settled, in the town of Cooperstown, near the Brown county line, upon 160 acres of wild land, each owning 80 acres. Whether MARTIN originally bought the 160 acres for himself and afterwards sold half to his brother or whether he bought 80 for each, we do not know, and it is immaterial; but MARTIN it was who transacted the business of purchasing the land nad having the necessary papers made out, and he it was who indicated to his brother where the line ran which divided the two eighties. JOHN HOGAN went to work upon the eighty acres assigned to him by his brother, clearing it off, cultivating and otherwise improving it?making a farm of what had before been a wilderness. After four or five years had passed away, MARTIN came to JOHN and told him that there had been a mistake made in running the line between the two farms; that instead of running as he had at first indicated, it should have been run in an opposite direction, and this proved to be the case. MARTIN averred that the division of the land in the first place had been made by him in good faith, and that he had only just discovered the mistake that had been made, but he claimed the benefit of all the improvements that had been made upon the portion of JOHN?s eighty that would be his under the new division. JOHN, however, did not credit these professions of innocence; he believed that MARTIN had deceived him from the first; that he had purposely made a wrong division of the land in order that he might claim the benefit of the labor bestowed upon it by him (JOHN) when it should become improved and enhanced in value. Criminations and recriminations followed, and they became implacable enemies. This was some six or seven years ago. Since then the feud between the two brothers has grown daily more bitter, until it culminated in the tragedy of last Thursday. The wives of the two men took an active part in the quarrel, and added fuel to the flame; they were not sparing of their abuse, and the two families have been engaged in almost constant litigation since. There is scarcely a lawyer here that one or the other has not been to for advice and we believe there is now pending a slander case in the Circuit Court of this county in which MRS. JOHN HOGAN is the defendant. But, although they quarreled about nearly everything, the dispute about the land was the main bone of contention, and had never been satisfactorily adjusted. To settle the vexed question finally, and to obtain what he asserted was his rightful share of the property, MARTIN HOGAN came to Manitowoc on Wednesday of last week, and engaged the services of MR. FAYETTE ARMSBY, in order to have the land again surveyed, and the dividing line established and struck out. MR. ARSMBY went to Cooperstown with him and on Thursday morning he and MARTIN HOGAN, assisted by a son of MARTIN MACNAMARA, who was a brother-in-law of MARTIN HOGAN, began the survey. They had commenced establishing the line, and had run two tallies and part of another when Mr. Armsby observed JOHN HOGAN walking towards them, accompanied by his wife and another woman. Hogan carried an axe on his shoulder and Armsby supposed he was returning from his work in the woods. As he approached, Mr. Armsby had need to meet him, saying, ?Mr. Hogan, I believe?? ?Yes, ? replied Hogan; and then he added, ?You made bad work of this when you surveyed it before.? Mr. Armsby replied that he did not think he had ever surveyed it. Hogan remarked that he thought he had, and Mr. Armsby said it was possible; he could tell by referring to his field-notes. This ended the conversation between them, Hogan advancing toward his brother and Armsby returning to his work. Martin Hogan was at one end of the chain, young Macnamara at the other, and Armsby about mid-way between them. He (Armsby) had scarcely resumed his work, when he heard a heavy blow, and looking around he saw John Hogan strike Martin in rapid succession two or three times with the axe, the last time burying the blade in his forehead and crushing him to the earth. At the moment of the murderous assault, Martin Hogan was stooping down, driving a stake, utterly unconscious of the blood-thirsty intentions of his brother. It seems that the first blow was given him on the back with the back of the axe, while he was still in a stooping posture, and that, upon attempting to rise, the other blows were delivered rapidly, the last one, as we have said, being with the edge of the axe, and taking effect at the base of the forehead, driving the full width of the axe into his brain to a depth of four or five inches. John had no sooner delivered the fatal blow to his brother than he started with the axe in pursuit of young Macnamara, who ran for the woods at the top of his speed. All this occurred in infinitely less time than it takes to relate it. Mr. Armsby saw him follow Macnamara about thirty rods, and then he (Armsby) started to alarm the neighbors. He returned in about half an hour, in company with several persons, and found that Martin was still alive, and had partially raised himself from the ground, resting his head upon his hand and his elbow upon the ground. Young Macnamara returned to the scene at the same time, armed with an axe and a pitchfork, but John Hogan had decamped and has not since been seen or heard from. Martin Hogan was conveyed to his house, and a messenger immediately dispatched for Dr. H. S. Balcom, of thi village, and another for a priest. Dr. Balcom found the wounded man still alive and in a semi conscious state, but of course it was beyond the power of human sill to do more than so allay his pain by the administration of narcotics. He lingered until Saturday morning about 11 o?clock, when he expired. After his death Dr. Balcom made an examination fo the wound, which he describes as fearful. The edge of the axe, in entering his head described a line running diagonally under the left eye and up just over the right eye, cutting through the frontal bone. The left eye was uninjured, and remained in its place in the upper part of his head. The right eye was turned over and driven into the wound. Dr. Balcom probed the frightful gash to a depth of four and a half inches, and by placing one hand on the forehead of the murdered man and the otheron the lower part of his face?so completely had the sharp weapon done its deadly work?he could open the wound without difficulty, exposing to view the severed nasal and auricular organs, and the right eye, which was buried in the brain. Besides this, Dr. Balcom discovered a cut about two inches in length on the side of his head, but which did not penetrate the bone. There were also contusions on his back, which had evidently been caused by the corner of the back of the axe. The inquest was held on Tuesday by Justice J.R. Weber, but at present writing we have not learned the result. The murderer is not believed to have left the neighborhood when he committed his awful crime, and Sheriff Blake, assisted by Mr. A. K. Merrill, have been in that locality ever since the murder, searching for him, but this far without success. District Attorney Woodin has written to the Governor, requesting that a reward be offered for his apprehension, and it is to be hoped by all lovers of law and order that he will not escape the penalty of his great crime. Aside from the troubles between themselves, the two brothers have always borne a reputation as good, law-abiding citizens. Martin Hogan leaves a widow and three children; John Hogan has a wife and seven or eight children. The families of both are living on the farms referred to above. The description of the murderer is as follows: Height 5 feet, 8 inches; complexion, dark; weight, 130 or 140 pounds; hair and beard, slightly gray. For the particulars give above, we are indepbed to District Attorney Woodin and Dr. Balcom. Manitowoc Pilot, May 29, 1868 P. 1 ***** PROCLAMATION + $500 REWARD. WHEREAS, it has been represented to me that one John Hogan did, on or about the 21st day of May, A.D. 1868, at the county of Manitowoc, in the State of Wisconsin, willfully and with malice aforethought, kill and murder one Martin Hogan, and that said John Hogan is still at large, and the ends of Justice require that reward should be offered for his apprehension. Now, therefore, I, Lucius Fairchild, Governor of the State of Wisconsin, by virtue of the authority vested in me by law, do hereby offered a reward of FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS, to be paid upon the due conviction of said John Hogan of the crime aforesaid, to the person or persons who shall apprehend him and deliver him safely to the sheriff of Manitowoc county, at the county seat thereof.

It will be remembered that the deed was committed in Cooperstown, in this County and that Hogan was tried in June 1870 and found guilty and sentenced to State Prison for life. A new trial was granted by the Supreme Court on the ground that the Jury did not define the degree of murder of which the defendant was guilty.

GEO. E. SUTHERLAND, Att?y for John Hogan. Dated, August 23rd, 1882 an31 Manitowoc Pilot, August 31, 1882 P. 2 ***** An effort is being made to induce the governor to pardon John Hogan convicted for the murder of his brother some time ago and sentenced to state prison for life. Hogan is now old, and has an excellent record at Waupun. In fact no one who knows the excellence of the man?s disposition and his invariable inclination to do right, can realize how he could take human life. All his neighbors speak of him as a man of the very best character and the jail officials say his conduct has been unequaled. A gentleman in this city has interested himself in Hogan?s behalf, all the circumstances in the case having come to his knowledge and has secured the strongest and greatest number of requests offered to an executive of the state for the pardon of a criminal. Every person with a full knowledge of the facts will wish the movement success. Manitowoc Pilot, September 7, 1882 P. 3 ***** JOHN HOGAN of Cooperstown, who was sentenced to State prison for life, a number of years ago for the murder of his brother, was pardoned by the governor last week and reached home on Saturday last. The murder was the result of a serious quarrel between the brothers on account of the ownership of some land, and was committed under circumstances which gave it the appearance of premeditation. On the first trial Hogan was found guilty of murder in the first degree, but the supreme court ordered a new trial. On the second trial the opposing lawyer worked with a degree of earnestness seldom manifested in a criminal trial and the verdict was more favorable to the accused than was the former. Hogan?s previous life was so blameless, he was so generally respected by his neighbors on account of his sterling qualities that the atrocity of the murder was inexplicable. Every one who knew him felt that his fancied wrongs so preyed upon his mind that for the time he was not responsible for his acts. His family were left in rather destitute circumstances and were so young as to be unable to provide for themselves. His wife never abandoned hope, and with a degree of devotion which only a woman can feel, she worked unceasingly for his pardon. A poor, modest woman, and one entirely unacquainted with the intricacies of the work she charged her life with, she was indefatigable in her efforts and never yielded to despair, though success seemed hopeless. Time only gave strength to her resolve, and failure suggested an effort in a new direction. She never looked upon her husband as morally guilty and through the long time he was confined she kept the thoughts of home ever ni his mind and his attachment for his family unimpaired. Her devotion kept him from realizing that he was a convict and in spirit he was always with his family, though deprived of liberty to mingle with them. The feeling of complete severance from the world and its duties never took possession of Hogan because of the ever active sympathy of his wife and he preserved his manhood and the character which made him so many friends before the commission of his great crime. He was the best behaved prisoner ever confined in Waupun, and won the confidence and esteem of all the officers.?Mr. Luling, when he became a member of the state board, formed Hogan?s acquaintance and was struck by his excellent record while in the prison. Everything he heard of him was in his favor, and when all the circumstances connected with the murder, Hogan?s unblemished reputation before that one act and his invariably good conduct since, the condition of his family and the strength of his home ties, and his age, were considered by Mr. Luling, in whom sympathy for the unfortunate and kind heartedness dominate all other considerations, he became a powerful intercessor for Hogan. The judge under whom Hogan was tried, the jury who convicted him, the presenting attorney and many influential citizens joined in a petition for his release. The law fixing the penalty for the crime of which Hogan was convicted has been changed reducing the length of conferment. When Hogan had served the minimum time as now fixed, the governor pardoned him, and now he is with his family from whom he was separated about 20 years ago with no hope of ever being reunited.

HORAN, JOHN Drowned- It becomes our unpleasant duty to record the death of John Horan by drowning about six o'clock on Thursday evening of last week. From what can be learned, he got into a small skiff at a point near Rudolph's residence and paddled up stream until he reached the schooner Glen Cuyler, lying at the railroad dock. As his skiff came in contact with the schooner he put both hands against it and gave a vigorous push. The action caused the small boat to suddenly go from under him and he fell into the river - at that point at least twenty feet deep. There was a little four year old boy in the boat with him, who with a man upon the opposite side of the river were the only ones who witnessed his fall. Horan struggled to save himself but the waters finally closed over him and when his body was recovered, life was extinct. The deceased was in the employ of the railroad company, was 29 years of age and leaves a wife and two small children. He was a steady, industrious man and respected by all who were acquainted with him Manitowoc Tribune, Thurs., May 11, 1876

HUSER, NO NAME GIVEN Killed, An Accident occurred in the town of Cooperstown, last Saturday, resulting in the almost instant death of a young man named Huser, a Bohemian, aged about 20 years. He and his brother were out hunting, and had sighted a bear. While waiting for a favorable opportunity to fire, the brother, who was standing on an old decayed log a few feet behind the unfortunate man, slipped and fell, the gun was discharged and the entire load went through the body of the victim, from the effects of which he died in an hour. Manitowoc Co. Chronicle, June 15, 1875 ********* We are pained to record the occurrence of a fatal accident in the town of Cooperstown in the early part of the week. Two brothers by the name of Husar were out hunting cattle, having with them a gun, in order to shoot whatever stray game they might come across. The sight of a bear caused one of the brothers to mount a log heap in order to get a shot at it; but from some unknown reason the log heap gave way under him and in the fall the gun was discharged, the contents entering the abdomen of the other brother, and so injuring him that he died in about an hour.

HUSSEY, JOHN A. DEATH OF JOHN A HUSSEY Kaukauna, Wis. Aug. 4 - John A. Hussey passed away early this morning at the age of forty years. He was found dead in bed by his brother, James, who went to call him. Last evening, he did not feel well and did not retire until a late hour. Mr. Hussey has been subject to nervous prostration and he has been ill for a long time, but it was thought that his illness was over and his friends considered it merely a question of time when he would recover fully. Mr. Hussey was a prominent lodge member belonging to the A.O.H., and the Catholic Knights. In the latter, he had $2000 insurance. He also had a number of offices. He was once principal of the Southside Public School and up to the time of his death was assistant city editor of the Kaukauna Sun. He leaves a wife and a daughter, who was visiting at Manitowoc at the time of his death. The remains will be taken to Cato, his former home, for burial.

NELLIE HUSSEY DIED:-Friday morning February 28, 1890 of peritonitis, Nellie daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John A. Hussy (sic), aged 10 years. The death of Nellie or Flossie as she was familiarly called, falls with crushing weight on her father, mother and little sister. She was a bright, loving and lovable child, and brave as she was bright. Although she suffered greatly during her week's illness,-she bore her suffering uncomplainingly, patiently, disiring ing (sic) ever to cause no one any trouble, trying to comfort when she saw others grieved for her. She was a general favorite with her little friends and many are the expressions of regret the little ones have been over-heard to make. She had a most precocious intellect, and was at the head of her classes. At home she not only helped to brighten the home circle, but she read histories, many selections from the poets, and standard magazines. She was quite skillful at the piano also. Although Mr. and Mrs. Hussey, have the sympathy of all the friends, words are no consolation. Only time can bring comfort to hearts made desolate by the loss of their little daughter. The funeral took place from St. Mary's Church Sunday March 2, at two o'clock in the afternoon, and was largely attended. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Meagher of Milwaukee, James Egan of Ironwood, Mich. and many other friends of the family were present from abroad. The floral ornaments were numerous and very beautiful. When fair May flowers bloom again- Blush into life,-just come and go And roses waft their fragrance, then, A little mound now draped with snow, Will be rich garbed in emerald, And starred with daisies, snowy white, That lift their heads to greet the light With not a purer fairer grace Than rested on the winsome face Of the sweet bud which Nature claimed To make it a heavenly flower, And shall we murmer (sic)-do we know What wild, fierce worldly blastings blow And crush to earth this blossom sweet, Ere it had shown the perfect power It promised as a full blown flower. Hearts that have her sweetness known, You may claim her, all your own- Just a blossom sweet and pure That could not life long endure. If the small mound low at your feet, Marks a young life all incomplete,- Can we say why the brook forever flows Or wherefore the fleeting life of the rose Or guess the secrets cliffs have held? Cherish the mem'ry of the maid- 'Twill be an overseeing power. Earthly blossoms all change and fade But we held their fragrance ever, Something all to sweet to sever,- The essence of soul in flower.
