DIED - WEINHOLDT - In the town of How, on the eighth of June, ISABELL, daughter of Christopher and Albertene WEINHOLDT, aged 6 years and 5 months. Her last words were "I will not fear, For God is near, Through the dark night, As in the light." Her death was caused by her being kicked in the abdomen by a horse. Her father requested her to go and drive the horses away from the fence, and she started and had not been gone more than two minutes, when her father, not hearing anything from her, called and asked her where she was and as she did not answer, he went and met her coming, or trying to come, to him. She said, "Oh! Pa, Jess kicked me," and he carried her into the house. That was about 7:00 p.m., and she suffered terribly all that night and the next day. She had to be carried about the room nearly all the time, as she could not bear to be laid down. Before she died she said, "Ma, are the gates open for me," and when told that they were she said, "well, I can't stand it much longer." She seemed to be conscious of all that was going on and bid them all good-bye.
(note: The Chris Weinholdt family was very active, community oriented, and much liked by early residents of Oconto and Shawano County. So active and involved were they that articles appeared in local newspapers quite frequently. They began in city of Oconto and then bought a farm in town of How with the earning Papa Chris had made from carrying mail on foot in the coutnies of Oconto and Shawano where there were few roads and only footpaths into most areas. While clearing the land and building a farm, the family of several industrious children and both parents ran the first How post office while Chris carried the mail in on foot. They were known for their many acts of kindness to others and good natured humor. After the death of Isabell (above) and by the early 1900's, mother Albertene and all but one child had died from Tuberculosis, leaving Chris and one child to carry on. Chris never fully recovered from the grief and the once well known and loved family faded into history. Rita)
 

**Killed—A young man named Jas. Ledvina was killed the latter part of last week, at some point on the Menominee river.  We were unable to learn in whose camp he was working, or the particulars of the fatal accident.  The remains of the unfortunate man passed through this city, Saturday night, on the way to his home in Kewaunee.  A brother of the deceased resides in this city.

DIED—At Florence, on Monday, 24th inst., Frank Paya, aged about 22 years.

The deceased was a resident of this place, and well and favorably known.  Last summer he was engaged in a wrestling match, at which he injured himself internally.  From this he never recovered, and which no doubt indirectly caused his death.  His funeral occurred here on Thursday.

DIED—A two-year-old daughter of Mr. And Mrs. James Wall died on Thrusday night of measles.  They have a younger child down with them, and it is not expected to recover.

DEAD—Mr. Matthew Morrison, whose dangerous illness at Quinnesec was reported in these columns two weeks ago, died at that place on Sunday.  Our Pensaukee and Brookside correspondents give a full account of his death and funeral in this issue.

DEAD—Our readers will remember reading about Robert Smiley, the man who was married here one day last fall and went crazy in a few hours afterward, a full account of which appeared in these columns at the time.  He was shortly after sent to the insane asylum, where he has remained ever since.  Last week he was taken sick—the nature of the complaint we did not learn—from which death resulted the first of the week.  We understand that his reason returned a short time before his death.  His remains were brought to this city for burial, the funeral occurring on Thursday.
 

FOUND DEAD.—Capt. Daniel Ketchum, an old sailor and ship carpenter, who has resided at St. Nathans  for the past ten or twelve years, was found dead in his bed between two and three weeks ago, the news of which only reached us the  first of the week.  The deceased was an old man, and lived all by himself.  In former years he followed the lakes, both before the mast and as master of a sailing vessel.  He was also a first-class ship carpenter.  The evening previous to his death he was visiting at a neighbor’s house, and appeared to be in his usual health.  As he was not seen about the place next morning as usual, his neighbors went to his house, where they were horrified to find him dead and his body frozen stiff.  The old man was subject to fits, and it is generally supposed that death came while in one of them.  He leaves a wife, who lives in Milwaukee, and with whom, owing to domestic troubles, he has not lived with for many years.

Although somewhat late, still I must refer to the death of our old and esteemed friend, Mr. Sutton, of Brookside, who passed away Feb. 16th.  He had been failing for some time, and becoming quite helpless, and for some days a great sufferer, so that when the summons came, he hailed it as a happy release from all his afflictions, and was anxious to go.  He was buried from Brookside school-house, February 18th.  Mr Webster of Neenah preached a very good discourse from those beautiful works, “I will not leave you comfortless.”  The family and friends have our heartfelt sympathy.
 

DIED.—On Saturday, February 26, Dora, eldest daughter of Philip Bitters, aged 17 years. 

Death always casts a sad gloom over the community in which it occurs, and more particularly is such the case when one is stricken down in the full bloom of youth.  Miss Bitters would have been seventeen years of age on the first day of March, and arrangements had been partially made for a party on that day in honor of the event.  But in place of the happy party was a funeral cortege, and on her birthday sorrowing friends followed her remains to their last resting in the Protestant cemetery. 

Dora was a member of the Good Templars, and the society attended her funeral, but owing to the condition of the roads they were unable to march in regular procession.  The bereaved parents have the warm sympathy of their many friends.
 

OBITUARY.—In noting the death of Eda, daughter of Mr. And Mrs. A. W. Pierce last week we misstated her age, which was five years five months and some days.  The loss of little Eda was more deeply felt by the family, on account of the absence of Mr. Pierce.  He left home on Wednesday to attend his business appointments, supposing that his little daughter was entirely out of danger.  She was recovering from the measles, and soon after his departure fever set in which terminated fatally on Friday morning.  Mr. Pierce although at Green Bay was unable to reach home on account of the snow blockade until Saturday night, when through the kindness of Superintendent reeves he was allowed to come through with the snow-plow.  The bereaved parents are deeply grieved over their loss, and have the sincere sympathy of their many friends.  The funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church on Tuesday, from whence a large concourse of friends followed the remains to their last resting place.

CARD OF THANKS.—We desire to express our thanks to the kind friends and neighbors who assisted us during the illness of our children, and for their warm sympathy in our bereavement.  We hold ourselves under obligations to each and every one of them, fully appreciating their kindness.  It was that true friendship and neighborly kindness which money cannot buy.
 MR. AND MRS. A. W. PIERCE

died on the 5th day after the operation was performed.  Everything which

A WEEK or two ago, in speaking of the death of poor Dennis McLaughlin, we stated that he died at the poor house, which was wrong, and did a very worthy couple injustice.  He died at the house of Michael Maloney, who with his wife did all they could to make his end peaceful, and gave him a Christian burial, partially at their own expense.

THE many friends in this city of  E. K. Ansorge, of Green bay, will regret to learn of the death of his little boy, which occurred last Monday evening.  On the 4th of July, the little fellow while playing with a toy pistol shot himself through the hand making a flesh wound which was not thought to be dangerous.  The wound was dressed and he seemed to be doing nicely until lock jaw intervened, which caused his death at the time stated.  The funeral took place Wednesday, and was attended by several from this city.
 

OBITUARY.—On the 23rd inst, at her home in the town of Oconto, the spirit of Mrs. Elizabeth Upton Whiting took its departure from its casket of clay and returned to the God that gave it.  Mrs. Whiting was born at Bucksport, Me., June 25, 1833, married  in 1849, and came to this state with her husband, who now  “sets in the shadow of a great grief.”  In the year of 1856, which was her home until her death and where she raised a family of five children, who now mourn the death of a kind, affectionate mother.  Many years ago she united with the M. E. church and as long as her health, which had been poor for a number of years would permit, took a deep interest in the welfare of not only the church of which she was a consistent member, but all other denominations.  During the fifteen years immediately preceding her death she was an invalid, she found comfort and strength in the promises contained in the Bible, of which, she was a constant and intelligent reader and bore her suffering with Christian fortitude.  Mrs. Whiting was a woman of a singularly loving and lovable disposition and universally beloved by all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance and society.  In her neighborhood, she was a ministering angel in the time of sickness and sorrow and a sympathizing friend to the unfortunate and distressed.  The severe sickness, which resulted in her death was of short duration, and when the dread summons came it found her “prepared and waiting” and as she bade an earthly farewell to friends and relatives, her faith grew brighter and her hope stronger.  Her funeral was largest ever held in the township, the service being held in the school house which was to small to hold but a part of the many friends who had come to pay the last sad rites of love and respect to an affectionate wife, kind mother, sympathizing friend and Christian woman.  Some time before her death she requested that in case of her death she would like to have the Rev. C. R. Bardick preach her funeral sermon.  Her request was complied with.  Mr. Whiting and those left to mourn have the sympathy of a host of friends in their bereavement which words cannot assuage.

DEATH.—C. H. DeLong and wife, of Ishpeming, Mich., reached this city Saturday night, with the dead body  of their little boy, which was consigned to its last resting place the day following.

OBITUARY:  The subject of this article, died in this city last Saturday evening after a painful and protracted illness of several months.  Herman A. Grunert was born at Oschatz, Saxony, October 2, 1833.  He received a common school education in early life and then entered the merchantile business in which he remained until 1853 when he, with his parents came to this country.  For a number of years after his arrival, he worked in sawmills and as a laborer, and also tilled a small farm near Stephensville in Outagamie county.  During the summer of  1864, he enlisted as a private soldier in the 9th Regiment of Wisconsin Vol., and served until the end of the rebellion receiving an honorable discharge, after which, he came to this city and located permanently.  Just before his illness, he had for several years been in the employ of the Oconto Lumber Co., as scaler and assistant book-keeper.  He was well thought of by his neighbors and acquaintances which fact was evinced by the large attendance at his funeral which was held Monday afternoon at the Presbyterian church, the Rev. Wm. Dafter, officiating; and the large concourse of citizens who followed his remains to their last resting place at the cemetery.  By his death, a wife and four children are left to mourn the absence of husband and father and to receive as they surely will, the sympathy of all, in their sorrow and loneliness.

A LITTLE daughter, aged one months, of A. Doyle’s died of cholera infantum last Monday, and was buried on Wednesday in the Gillett Cemetery; her bereaved parents have the sympathy of the community.
 

CHARLES I. MARTIN, editor and proprietor of the Sturgeon Bay Expositor, has taken unto himself a wife in the person of Miss Ella Lawrence, one of the most estimable young ladies on the peninsula.  We regard both as extremely lucky in having obtained each other, and hope, that they may live long, and that their Martin’s nest will in the course of time become the abode of young Martins.

MRS BRIDGET BURKE died at the residence of her husband last Sunday morning, between eight and nine o’clock, leaving a husband and several grown up children to mourn her death.  Her funeral took place Tuesday, the services being held at St. Joseph’s Catholic church of which she was a member.

LAID TO REST.—Last Saturday afternoon all that was mortal of the late Robert Jones was consigned to their last resting place in the “silent city of the dead,” there to remain
Until the mortal shall be clothed with the immortal, the new and better life shall begin.

The funeral services were held in the Episcopal church and were conducted, in the absence of the rector, by his assistant Mr. Joseph Moran, who read the beautiful burial service of that church in a very impressive and feeling manner.  The singing, which was provided by several lady acquaintances of the deceased, was exceedingly appropriate and affecting.  The following gentlemen all of whom were friends of the departed, acted as pall-bearers:  Mayor W. H. Young,  Wm. Brunquest, Thomas Gilkey, H. M. Royce, T. B. Goodrich, and B. G. Grunert.

The church was filled with the friends of the deceased, who went to pay the last sad rites of respect to one, whom many of them had known for over a quarter of a century. 

Mr. Jones left a wife and seven children, only two of whom have grown to man and womanhood.

During the long and painful sickness of the deceased, Drs. Coleman and Moriarty were constant and unremitting in their attentions; could not have been more so had he been a brother.  Their services were gratuitous, but their reward will be sure.

Miss Ida Jones reached home the day before her father’s death and was with him to the end.
 

A sad accident happened at St. Nathans (now Chase), by the caving in of a well, resulting in the death of two brothers named George and David Cleveland, one of whom was married and one single.They had dug the well through quick sand to a depth of twenty-six feet and had commenced curbing it up in order to keep the sand from running in.  While thus engaged, the sides of the well caved in upon them, smothering them to death.  Their friends went to work immediately and labored faithfully until near midnight when their bodies were reached and removed from the well.  The accident has cast a gloom over the entire settlement as  both men were well respected by their neighbors. George Cleveland was married and he leaves a wife and one child, besides his mother and other relatives to mourn his irreparable loss.  Dave was a single man and was the support of his aged mother who lived with him.

DIED.—Daniel O’Keef, father of our respected townsman, Daniel O’Keef Jr., departed this life Tuesday morning after having been a great but patient sufferer for upwards of twelve years, most of the time, being confined to his bed.  We never enjoyed the acquaintance of the deceased, but we learn from those who did, that before disease had laid its heavy hand upon him, he was a man of quick and reliable judgment and generous impulses.  He was sixty seven years of age at the time of his death, but looked more aged, on account of the terrible disease that had held him in its vice like grip for so long a period of time.  His funeral took place Thursday, the services being held at St. Joseph church of which the departed was a communicant and his remains were followed to their last resting place by many of his old friends and neighbors.

DIED.—The spirit of Dennis Keefe took its flight from the casket that had held it forty nine years, on the morning of the 12th inst.  Our readers will remember, that Mr. Keefe was injured on the evening of the previous Thursday, to such an extent, that the amputation of his left limb below the knee was necessary.  After the operation he seemed to be doing as well as could be expected until the day previous to his death when there was a change for the worse and he continued to fail until his life went out.  He was undoubtedly injured more seriously  than was supposed,  had he not been, he would with his splendid constitution and great endurance have survived the loss of the limb.  The deceased, as we stated in our previous notice, was a man of many excellent qualities of head and heart and universally respected by all classes.  He was quite and unassuming, being actuated in all his actions by a high sense of honor and the eternal fitness of things.  He was an honored and conscientious member of the Catholic church and died in a full faith of a glorious resurrection.  He was also a member C. T. A. & B. society of this city under whose auspices he was buried.  His funeral took place Wednesday, the services being held in the church of which he was a member.  In respect for his memory the mill of Holt & Balcom in which he had worked for many years was shut down, that all might attend his burial obsequies, which were very solemn and affecting.  The deceased left a widow, who is an invalid, and several children, among them, Mrs. Thomas Morrison whose health is poor and whose grief over the lost of her father is extremely poignant.  The widow and children have the sympathy of all in their sorrow, which would assuaged if kind words and sympathy were of any avail.  Mr. Keefe was 49 years of age.

F. B. SIMS attended the funeral of his brother’s little son at Little Rapids, Sunday.

MR. ASAHEL HART, of Green Bay, brother of Edwin Hart of this city and one of the resident of this part of the state, having settled here in 1834, died at his home last Sunday.  His brother Edwin was with him at the time of his death, and says that he passed away so quietly that it was difficult to determine the time when life ceased.  The funeral was held Tuesday and attended by the relatives of the deceased residing in this city.
 

**MURDER AT PESHTIGO.  At Peshtigo, on Sunday last, a man named Smith loaded up an Enfield rifle and went up the upper Sugar Bush road about two miles to a place called the “Sand Hill,” where he lay in wait in a place of concealment until D. F. Pecor (Pecard) a half breed French and Indian, came along, when he shot him.  Pecard fell to the ground over the dash-board and soon after expired.  Smith was arrested next day and acknowledged, on examination, that he committed the deed.  He claims that Pecor was instrumental some years back, by illicit intercourse with his wife, in breaking up his family relations, and a separation took place between them.  We are told that Smith had brooded over the matter until his mind was worked to that state that he became an assassin.—Green Bay Advocate.

DIED.  The body of Mrs. Eli Juneau, who died at Florence Sunday, was brought from that place to this city, reaching here Monday evening.  Mrs. Juneau had many friends and relatives here, who with loving hands and sorrowing hearts, consigned the form that they had loved in life, to its last resting place on Wednesday.

BROOKSIDE BUBBLES.
Passed to a higher life, October 27th, 1881, Mrs. Ida Rice, wife of Harvey Rice, of West Pensauke, and daughter of the Rev. O. B. Clark of Stockbridge.  The peculiar circumstances attending her death were very sad.  She was in her usual health, had been assisting in the preparation of supper when she remarked that she felt very bad and could not eat.  In less than an hour she had put off the mortal and was clothed in robes of immortality.  Mr. Rice was not at home at the time of her death.  The funeral services were held last Sabbath at Brookside, and a larger congregation was never assembled the place on any occasion.  Mrs. Rice possessed all the traits of a noble model woman.
 

The remains of Samuel Moore were brought from Michigan to this city Saturday night, and taken to Maple Valley for burial.

**The many friends of Mr. Fred. Armstrong in this city will be pained to learn of the sudden death of his estimable wife, which sad event occurred last Sunday.  Mrs. Armstrong was not feeling very well and a physician who had dropped in casually, gave her morphine which caused her to sleep the sleep that knows no waking.  The sad and peculiar manner of her death has cast a gloom over the village where she was much respected and loved, because of her genial ways, moral and social worth and warm sympathies with the poor and unfortunate.
 

WILL MILLER, of this place, was taken with the typhoid fever about two months ago and went to Chicago for medical treatment.  A letter from that place announcing his death on Sunday was received by Jay Livermore last Monday morning.  He was about thirty-two years old, and a man that every one respected.  He was a successful fisherman and had accumulated considerable money in that business.

MRS. PAUL PRICKETT, after a lingering illness of several months, passed away from earth last Sunday morning, calmly and peacefully.  Her remains were consigned to their last resting place Monday, being followed to the “silent city of the dead” by quite a large number of her acquaintances, friends and relatives.  Mr. P. has the sympathy of all in his sorrow and Bereavement.
 

DIED.  Funke,.  At her home in this city, Tuesday night, November 15th, 1881, Mrs. E. Funke, wife of Hon. Ernst Funke, in the 71st year of her age. 

The many friends in this city of Mrs. Ernst Funke, were pained Wednesday morning to learn that during the previous night her spirit had taken its flight from earth and that the mortal only remained, and her multitude of friends and acquaintances throughout this state and upper Michigan will receive with regret the news of her death.  For the past few years her health has been in such a precarious condition as to render it impossible for her to mingle with her friends in the social circle, consequently she was rarely seen except by those who visited her at her home.  For several weeks immediately preceeding her death, the spirit wavered between earth and heaven, and her death although a loss to her friends, and more especially to the bereaved husband who is now left comparatively alone, almost a stranger in the world, it was a relief to her, as it put an end to her bodily afflictions. 

The deceased was born at Schermegel, Prussia on the 21st day of May, 1811, where she continued to live until 1819, when, with friends, she came to this country, settling at Green Bay, where she resided until her marriage with Mr. Funke in 1857, when they removed to this city, which has since been their home.  Soon after reaching here Mr. Funke embarked in the land business, and Mrs. Funke, by her kindness, thoughtfulness and willingness to attend to the wants of the weary traveler made a host of friends among the traveling public, and by her genial ways and kindness of heart with her acquaintances, in the social circle.  Before her illness she was a regular attendant at the Presbyterian church  and took a deep interest in the success of every influence that tended to make the world better.  Her funeral services were held Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the above mentioned church, which was well filled with the friends of the deceased, the services being conducted by the Rev. C. R. Burdick, were solemn and impressive. 

Mr. Funke, who is left alone in the world, has the sympathy of the entire community in this, the hour of his gloom and sorrow.
 

LOUIS HARMSER, son of Henry Harmser, died last Sunday morning after a lingering illness of several months.  During his sickness, he was cared for by the members of the Purn-Verin in this city, of which he was a member, who done every thing in their power to make him comfortable.  His remains were consigned in their last resting place Monday, the funeral being under the auspices of this brethren.  Mr. Harmser was a young man with many excellent qualities and respected by all who knew him.  It seems to bad, that a young man in the flush and vigor of early manhood, should be stricken  with disease, and after suffering months, be called hence, while there are thousands on earth who have passed the period of usefulness, and are waiting for the grim monster, death, who is no respecter of persons.

LAST Sunday night while Wilson Dunham, an employee of the Hart & Coxe Cedar Co., at Wilson Mich., was walking along the track of the C. & N. W. Railroad between Spaulding and the first mentioned place, he was run over by a train and so badly injured that he lived but a short time after the terrible accident.  We understand that the accident was the result of his carelessness caused by drink.

WE REGRET to learn of the death, which occurred a week ago Wednesday, of Georgie, the oldest son of Mr. And Mrs. J. M. Armstrong, (town) of How.  The little fellow was in the ninth year of his age and an unusually bright and promising boy.  He was a general favorite with everybody and his loss will be deeply felt by all who knew him.  His parents have the sympathy of the community in their sore affliction, who by the reason of the loss of their child are almost heart broken.
 

One of the saddest events that has become necessary for us to chronicle occurred in this city last Tuesday.  During the spring, a Belgian by the name of Peter Creil left his home in the old country and came to America, and having friends here came to this city where he soon found employment.  Being industrious and sober, he soon saved money to send for his family, whom he had left behind.  Anticipating their arrival, he had rented a house which he had partly furnished and secured sufficient wood for winter use.  When everything was in readiness for his family, for whom he had toiled and saved, he was taken sick with a fever and breathed his last Friday and was buried Sunday.  Tuesday his family, consisting of wife and six children reached here, only to learn the terrible news that the husband and father, the meeting with whom they had looked forward to with pleasure, was dead and buried.  It was a fearful experience for the poor widow and mother who had come so far to find herself along and destitute in a strange country and among strangers.  We are informed that her youngest child is very sick and not expected to live, and that the family are in very destitute circumstances and will suffer, if not assisted.  We hope that some of our kind hearted ladies will interest themselves in the poor strangers’ behalf.
