OCONTO COUNTY BIRTHS

The reporting of births was haphazard at best in the early years. Not all issues of past newspapers have been saved to microfilm, however, every effort is being made to research what is available for this collection. Our goal is to help in researching ancestors and add a sense of history. This page is a continuing effort and will be added to, often, as more research is completed.

       Monday night, a twelve pound girl made her appearance in the family of Dr. D. E. Wilcox. It is unnecessary to mention the fact that both mother and father are wonderfully pleased, and that the baby is doing nicely.

H. was so well pleased with the chubby little shaver, that he could not refrain from laughing whenever he looked at him. Mother and child doing nicely, and the father able to receive congratulations of friends.

Mr. and Mrs. Wilber Bush were made happy Saturday evening by the arrival of a baby girl. We congratulate them in their happiness. 

John Freshtte, who by the way is one of the finest looking men in this city, is happy, the result of a present from his estimable wife (nee La Brosse)  of a little girl baby, which occurred April 8. As Sophia was Mr. F’s mother, grandmothers, great grandmother and great great grandmother’s christened name, the little stranger will be christened Sophia.

A little girl made her appearance in the family of the Frank Page, Saturday morning. Being the first girl, it is quite unnecessary for us to remark that the father is very happy over the advent of the cherub.

Anybody meeting Henry Clark since Wednesday would judge from his action that he had fallen heir to millions. It is all on account of an addition in his family – a bouncing baby boy. Congratulations Henry.

A little bald-headed chap, cute and cunning, made his appearance in the home of Thomas Good, Monday morning. He was at once adopted and in due time will be given a name and become the boss of the family. All hands doing nicely.

Birth

Mrs. John A. Brown presented her husband with a 10 pound boy Monday morning, much to the joy of John. Mother and babe doing nicely.

A little bit of femininity made her appearance in Dr. Beebe’s home Tuesday morning, much to the gratification of the doctor who now claims that he is worth more then the Vanderbilt, for he has got that which Vanderbilt with all his money could not buy. The baby and mother are doing as well as can be expected.

The family of Mr. L. N. Heller was numerically increased by the addition of a fine baby boy last Sunday evening, and L.N. is so pleased over the event that he don't care a continental which was the election goes- just so it goes democratic.

Birth

Nicholas Sederstrum, who lives on L. P. Pahl's farm Little River, had an addition to his family Friday night last, or Saturday morning. The were twins a girl and a boy in the order named, but whether the boy's birthday anniversary will fall on the last day of October or the first of November will be a difficult problem for the parents to decide for it was just at the witching hour of midnight when he entered this world of sorrows and joys.
