He served for 12 years on the Board of Education and was repeatedly appointed President of that body, a position for which he was eminently qualified, being a man of scholarly attainments, a conscientious devotion to duty. Of a quiet retiring disposition, avoiding all display of abhorring sham and deception, he was a wholesouled, generous and companionable man, whom it was a pleasure to meet and visit with.

Religious punctual in all his business appointments, scrupulously honest and straightforward, in all his dealings, he was regarded, and will be looked up to by all who knew him, a man of lofty character, a devoted husband and father, an honorable and most exemplary citizen.

He was married Dec 26, 1866, at Oconto to Margaret Lawier, who survives him , with two daughters, Mrs. G. M. Williams of Milwaukee, and Mrs. W A Wescott of Crandon, and two sons, Fred and George.

Mrs. Robert Hintz of Hintz died last Sunday evening. Relative to the death and the causes thereof-ugly rumors are afloat. It is reported to The Times on the authority of a physician who was called in the case that the death was due to malpractice on the part of an unlicensed midwife who attended the patient at childbirth. The child was delivered into the abdominal cavity through a rupture, and physicians, who were later called in consultation, decided that an immediate operation presented the only chance of saving the women’s life. The operation was performed, but the patient failed to rally from the original shock, death occurring sixteen hours after she was removed from the operating table. 

There is said to be no little indignation among the people at Hintz, some assert that this is the second death resulting from the practice of the unlicensed midwife in question. It is possible that the state authorities will be notified and that an investigation will follow. 
Mrs. Hintz was the mother of fourteen children, eleven of whom, with this husband survive.
The funeral was held at 3:00 Thursday afternoon. The Gillett Times
(editor's note: At this time, there was a transition from midwife to doctor assisted births. Many women and their husbands preferred the midwife, which they had used for years. As with many women of her time, Mrs. Hintz had been pregnant and given birth to many children (14) in a very short period of time. The muscle wall of her uterus was stretched and thinned repeatedly, without any time or chance to fully heal and normalize between births. It was not so unusual in women having large families for a part of this thinned, and consistantly weakened, uterine wall to fail during the tremendous pressure of  labor contractions, preventing the infant from being born through the thicker, stronger, small birth canal. In most cases, the loss of blood into the abdomen that resulted, caused the shock resulting in death. 

Autopsies on women dying in childbirth were almost unheard of, whether they were assisted by doctor or midwife, so the cause of death during labor was rarely truly determined. Birthing was hard, difficult and dangerous work and sometime women and infants died; it was an accepted matter of fact in those days. Because of the surgery on Mrs. Hintz, the cause was established this rare time, and became news to the community for speculation. Further mention of this event was not posted in the news, and the names of the midwife and doctor were not given.)

In 1872 he was married to Miss Wilhelmina Wegner of Green Bay, and moved to Little Suamico where he lived on his farm until 1894, when he moved to Stiles and conducted the Stiles House until 1902. In 1899 he bought the hotel property here from the Volk brothers, and in 1902 moved into the hotel, which he conducted until his death. The deceased had been ailing for nearly a year past, and for several months had refrained from active work, though he continued to keep in close touch with his business. His death was due to dropsy affliction, which affected his heart. On the evening of his death he was sitting in his easy chair when he quietly fell into a sleep that is eternal in duration. He suffered no pain and had no premonition that the end of his career was so near.

At the reorganization of the State Bank of Oconto Falls, Mr. Schrubbe became a stockholder, and has ever since been on the board of directors. A year ago he was elected a member of the village board of trusties for two years and before coming here was the treasurer of his school district.

John T. Galland died very suddenly Monday afternoon at 4:45, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Joe Follett Jr. in the South ward, from an attack of heart trouble.

Deceased, who, in company with his son Fred Galland, was conducting a grocery store in the old Hart building, just north of Park avenue bridge, left his place of business about 4:00 that afternoon to deliver some groceries at his daughter’s home, where he was living, she being in attendance at the store during his absence. After leaving the store, he began to feel sick to his stomach and upon reaching his home he felt so badly he stepped out of doors again and called Mr. Lesperance who was going by and asked him to go for a doctor. 

Mr. Lesperance hastily summoned his son, Joseph, who arrived to catch Mr. Galland as he was about to fall. He helped him into the house, making him as comfortable as possible, and then ran to the home of  Mrs. Amos Youngs, notifying her of her brother-in-laws illness and then for a physician. When Mrs. Youngs and Walter Rogers, a neighbor, reached the unfortunate man, he was lying prostrate on the floor and expired about five minutes later, before medical attention could be given him.

Deceased had been troubled with this disease for a number of years and was subject to sinking spells, but the day he died was apparently in his usual health previous to the time he left the store. 

He was born in Iowa, May 8, 1844 and was an old resident of Plainfield, Wis. He came to this city the first of last April and about two months ago he and his son opened a grocery store in the old Esson place, later moving into the Hart building. About twenty-seven years ago he was married to Miss Evelyn Burns of Buena Vista, Wis., who, together with the son and daughter, survive him.

The funeral services were held this afternoon at 2:00 from the home, Rev. R. J. McLandress officiating, with internment in Evergreen cemetery.
