It is our painful duty to record in our columns the early demise of Mrs. A.M. Martineau, of this city, on Saturday morning last at 4:30 o’clock, at her residence in the South Ward, in the 21st year of her age. The announcement comes with a heavy blow on the bereaved husband, as in a short space of a few years he has lost by death, two partners in the world’s cares. No young gentleman in the city deserves a greater sympathy. He is left now with the care of two young children. Mrs. Martineau was attended day and night during her short illness, by the Sisters of St. Joseph, who not only administered to her worldly wants, but gave her the consolation that religion affords. A few hours before her death, being perfectly conscious of her approaching end, she received the last rites of the Catholic church and departed this life in full communion with her Maker – resigned and hopeful for a happy immortality. The funeral took place on Monday morning from St. Peter’s church, Rev. Fr. Vaillant, celebrating a solemn High Mass for the departed. The remains were escorted to the Catholic cemetery followed by a large and morning concourse of sympathizing friends.

Mrs. Martineau was the older daughter of two, and was the idol of the parents, one of whom only survives, Mr. Thos. Simpson an old resident of this city, who is now himself suffering the results of a lingering illness. It is needless to write of the sympathy of the citizens of Oconto wish Mr. Simpson who is one of the most respected of or people.

Markeson, of Chicago, officiating. A large concurs of sorrowing friends accompanied the remains to their last resting-place at Brookside.
 

At 12:20 p.m. Monday, the 2nd inst., the spirit of Mrs. B.G. Grunnert separated from its mortal tenement and passed to the great beyond. The deceased had been a sufferer for nearly a year past from consumption, the result of a severe attack of la grippe with which she was afflicted last winter, and though every effort which love could devise was excerted to arrest the disease, she continued to sink until the end came. Last summer she spent several weeks on the lakes and later went to Thomasville, Ga., with the expatiation that a change of climate would prove beneficial, but so firmly was the disease fastened upon her system that all proved fruitless and she steadily declined in health, and returned from Georgia only two weeks ago to breathe her last at home and amid lovingand sorrowing friends. The deceased spent her earlier years at Mequon, near Milwaukee, where she was born 49 years before the day of her death, and was married at Appleton just before the war, to Mr. B.G. Gurnnert, and for eighteen years past has resided in Oconto. She possessed a gentle nature, but withal a firm character, and was eminently endowed with Christian attributes. Among her large circle of friends she was held in the highest esteem, and her death is a subject for regret among hundreds of friends. She died as she lived in confident hope of resurrection to a brighter life. An affectionate husband and four loving dutiful children, one daughter, Mrs. Irvin Pendleton; three sons, Walter H., Julius B. and Rudolph survive her and mourn her departure, though bowing submissively to the decrees of an All Wise Providence. The funeral took place Wednesday forenoon, services being conducted by the Rev. L.D. Hopkins at St. Mark’s Episcopal church, of which the deceased was a faithful and devout communicant, the remains being followed to the cemetery by a large concourse of sympathizing friends.

In this city, on Monday evening, Feb 23, Mrs. Augusta Hanson, relict of the late Charles Hanson, the 54th year her age.

The deceased had been a sufferer for nearly a year past from a stone cancer which had formed in her throat and gradually grew so large that she was unable to swallow food, and under this affliction she steadily weakened until death mercifully ended her sufferings. She was a native of Norway, but came to this country about twenty years ago. She is survived by two children, a daughter, Mrs. J.C. Campbell, of Norway, Michigan and a son, Frank of this city. The funeral took place Thursday afternoon, services being held at her late residence by the Rev. G. Bossard, pastor of the Presbyterian Church. A numerous train of mourners who followed the deceased lady to her last earthly abiding place attended in a measure to the esteem in which she was held in the community.

Mr. and Mrs. J.H. Goddard of Brookside, lost a young child by death on Tuesday.

Departed this life on Tuesday, the 17th, Eva, beloved wife of John Reed, at her home in this place, at the age of 30 years.

The deceased lady leaves six children, the oldest of which is 8 years, and a bereaved husband to suffer her demise. The funeral service was preformed on Thursday, the 19th, by Rev. E.E. Luccia, of Stiles.

On Friday morning of last week, Cook Brothers in this city received a telegram announcing that a man had been killed at their camp at Pembine that morning, and that the body  would be down on the afternoon train on the M & N. No further particulars were given, so that the name of the unfortunate man remained a mystery until the arrival of the body on the afternoon train, when it became known that August Braasch was the victim of the accident. The particulars of the accident were as follows: The deceased was a teamster in one of Cook Bro’s camps near Pembine, Wis., and on the fatal morning had almost arrived at the landing with his load of logs when a little pitch in the road caused the top log, which was not bound, and on which he was sitting, to roll off the load, carrying August with it and crushing him to the ground in its fall. The accident was witnessed by several men at the landing who hastened to his assistance, and removing him from under the log conveyed him to the camp, where he died about an hour afterwards. After arriving in this city the remains were conveyed to the residence of his parents, Mr. & Mrs. August Braasch, in the Westward, and on Sunday afternoon were interred in the public cemetery, the funeral services were being held at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, Rev. L.D. Hopkins officiating, and were attended by a large concourse of sympathizing and sorrowing friends.

The deceased was an industrious and deserving young man, about 27 years of age, who bore an excellent reputation in the city. His death is a severe affliction to his aged parents, who are bowed with grief over their sad misfortune in being thus suddenly bereft of their beloved son who had just arrived at years of manhood and gave promise of a bright future.

Died

At his home in this city on Saturday, March 14, 1891. Mr. Wm. P. Ackrill, in his 76th year of his age. Deceased had been a sufferer from consumption of the liver since last summer but had been able to attend his business until the early part of December at which time the malady had so far advanced as to necessitate his confinement to his bed. Throughout his long and painful illness his faithful and devoted wife watched and cared for him with tenderness and solicitude, while medical skill put forth it’s best efforts in his behalf, but all to no purpose, and at last the tired body yielded to the destroyer and his spirit passed to the unknowable beyond.

Mr. Ackrill was born in Lincolnshire, England, in 1815 and during the earlier years of his manhood was a sailor on British vessels. In 1857, he with his wife and family came to the United States and settled in Oconto, since which time he has been an honored and respected resident of this city. He is survived by his wife and one son, William D. and one sister, Mrs. Newbe, who has resided with him.

The funeral occurred Tuesday morning, services being held at St. Mark’s Episcopal church of which the deceased was a communicant, at which the Rev. Wm. Dafter, of St. Paul’s church, Marinette, officiated, in the absence of the Pastor, and Rev. L.D. Hopkins, and though a severe storm was raging at the time a large number of friends testified their esteem of the deceased by following his remains to the “silent city.” The pallbearers were Capt. L.M. Soyer, Hon. E. Funke, Messrs. T.F. Snover, Huff Jones, Wm. Guthrie and James Kent.

John Haynue has passed in to valley of the shadow. He died at Crystal Falls, Mich., last Saturday, Feb. 28th at half past ten in the morning., from pneumonia, after a short illness of but five days. His remains were brought home to Marksan Monday, and the funeral took place yesterday from the Methodist church at 2:00 in the presence of a very large number of friends, who had known John is days gone by when he walked and lived among us. We all liked John and the thought of his death brings tears to many an eye in this community. He was young, handsome, vivacious, always cheerful, and to know him was to be his friend. Poor John was cut down in full vigor of his young manhood, far from home and among strangers, except his aunt Anna, who was with him at the last moment. He was born the 22nd day of October, 1857, and was a little more then 33 years old at the time of his death.

The funeral sermon by Rev. T.H. Cadman on the “Immortality of the Soul” was as beautiful and impressive a sermon as had ever been heard in Marksan. During the course of his remarks the school bell rang, and it must have reminded those present of the time when John, in company with several of his pallbearers, the friends of his youth, used to flock into the old stone school house at the summons of the same old bell. But a higher summons had come and he had to go. We have laid him away in the silent church yard for the dead; the battle of life will be resumed by the living, and soon its sharp and stern conflicts will wear away the edges of yesterdays keen sorrow. The pallbearers were W.F. Barter, John Henninger, Jas. Densmoor Jr., Jas. Richards, Will Milligan and Leslie Higgins.

Child Drowned
Shortly after dinner Monday afternoon the four year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Perrigo, of Pecor street, wandered in the backyard of the house and fell in a ditch of water about two feet deep, where he was discovered about ten minutes later. He was carried into the house and Dr. Lawrence immediately summoned. The Dr. arrived in remarkably short time, but found life extinct in the little fellow, and thinks he was dead before he was taken out of the water.
