We learn with regret of the death of Harrison Barrett, which occurred this week at Milwaukee, where he had gone for treatment. Mr. Barrett was one of our most respected citizens. He was for sometime superintendent of the Sheboygan and Fond du Lac Rail Road, and vice-president of the Sheboygan Manufacturing Company; but ill health forced him to retire from active business several months ago. His death will bring sorrow to the hearts of his many friends in the city.

Harrison Barrett, Esquire, so long and favorably known to the residents of this part of the state, we are pained to learn, died at Milwaukee, on Wednesday last. - Mr. Barrett, while residing in Maine, became identified with the Sheboygan and Mississippi Rail Road as its Financial Agent in New England and New York for the negotiation of securities and raising of money for its construction. Subsequently he became a resident of Sheboygan and maintained an unflinching faith in the ultimate construction of the road to Fond du Lac, westwardly, even during the darkest days of tarrying at Glenbeulah, and labored unceasingly to realize his hope. Under his presidency and superintendency the road, after several years of doubt and discouragement, again resumed construction, and in due time reached Fond du Lac. A year or more thereafter he dissolved his connection therewith, and spent the summer traveling in California and elsewhere. For many months past he has been an invalid, but we did not suppose his case was considered dangerous at all until quite lately, when his lungs had given signs of disease. He has been, during much of the fall in Milwaukee, for the purpose, in part, we believe, of undergoing medical treatment. The immediate cause of his death was the bursting of a blood vessel of the lungs while walking the floor of his room. Mr. Barrett was a man of fine physical presence, courtly manners, energetic in action, social in disposition, sympathetic in feeling, and generous to a fault in assisting the needy or distressed. His loss will be mourned and regretted by all who knew him. His remains were brought to Glenbeulah yesterday via Fond du Lac and will be committed to their last resting place there today beside those of a sister.

The funeral services will be held at 11 am.

A Shocking Death - A Prominent Business Man Blows out His Brains. A telegram received in this city, on Wednesday afternoon, by Dr. De Beque, brought the shocking intelligence that Edward Badger, an old and respected resident of Glenbeulah, had taken his own life. That horrible news was hardly credited at first, many insisting that there must be some mistake in the name, but the full particulars of the sad deed have since been received by mail and the brief statement of the telegram is only too fully confirmed.

Mr. Badger had a hardware store and tin-shop at the village of Glenbeulah.

It appears that up to the hour of his death he faithfully attended to his business as usual; that he manifested no sign of mental depression; that no one suspected him of cherishing a wish to terminate his own life; that he attended a lecture, on Tuesday evening, and seemed in good spirits; that at eleven o'clock, on Wednesday morning, he was in his store smoking a cigar and chatting pleasantly with customers; that at the hour last mentioned he sent his son William on an errand to the depot. While his son was gone, he locked the front and rear doors of his store and shop from the inside. He then went into a small bed room on the east side of the store, and after securely fastening the door behind him and placing three bundles of building paper against it, threw himself on the bed and deliberately sent a bullet crashing through his brain. The ball entered the brain just above the temple. Young Badger returned from the depot in a about fifteen minutes; found the doors locked as above described; but, thinking nothing amiss, unlocked the rear door with his own key and resumed his work in the tin-shop. His attention was soon attracted by a deep groan from the bed room. He hurried thither; forced open the door as quickly as possible; and found the insensible form of his father lying upon the bed. The unfortunate man was not yet dead; but never again opened his eyes or gave any evidence of consciousness. His grief smitten family and friends vainly endeavored to secure a sign of recognition from him. The lingering spark of life fled a few moments later. Letters were found upon his person addressed to his wife, daughter, and sons, and to Mr. Erastus Keach, Mr. Case, and Mr. Jas. T. Dillingham. Most of these letters were dated the 18th of February. This fact, together with evidence contained in the letters, conclusively prove that the terrible deed was deliberately planned and cooly premeditated. The cause of the suicide is still shrouded in mystery so far as the public is concerned. The deceased has resided in the county for a long term of years; was universally respected and esteemed for his many shining qualities; stood high in the business, social and political circles of the county, was industrious, temperate, and economical in his habits. He has long held the office of Treasurer of the Town of Greenbush and has always given a faithful account of his stewardship. He was an original Republican, but last year embraced the Greenback theory, and ran on the Greenback ticket for County Treasurer, receiving much more than his part vote in his own neighboring towns. He leaves behind a wife and daughter and three sons. The funeral occurred in Glenbeulah, this morning, at 11 o'clock. The Odd Fellows took charge of the exercises. The attendance was very large.

Suicide of Edwin Badger - The community were shocked, on Wednesday last, to learn of the death, by his own hand, of Edwin Badger, of Glenbeulah. Mr. B. had for many years been a prominent business man in that village, being engaged in the tin and hardware trade, was a member of the wheat buying Association, and latterly carried on a lumber yard also. He was for several years treasurer of the town of Greenbush, and last year a candidate on the Greenback ticket for county treasurer, running, where best known, largely ahead of his ticket. A man of unusually cheerful disposition naturally, and disposed to look on the bright side of life, temperate in his habits, plain in his tastes, industrious and energetic, he would have been almost the last man picked out to have done so rash an act. The motive which led to it is yet unknown to the public, and is only a subject of conjecture. We have not learned all the particulars of the case. But it is reported that half an hour or so before the sad event was known, he was pleasantly talking with some friends in the store, quietly smoking the while, exhibiting not the remotest appearance of anything being wrong with him. This was about 11 o'clock in the forenoon. The friends soon left, and sending his son out on an errand he fastened the store door upon the inside, entered a small bed room connected with the store, and throwing himself on the bed fired a pistol ball through his head near the temple. His son returning soon after entered the store from the back way, and hearing a groan issue from the bed room entered it and found his father lying there insensible, though still breathing. He expired, however, in a few moments. Letters were found upon him addressed to his wife and children, and also to two or three friends, which are supposed to throw some light upon the act, and also seem to indicate that it had been calmly premeditated. A wife and three children are thus plunged into the depths of affliction, and receive the warmest sympathies of the community. The funeral took place yesterday under the auspices of the Odd Fellows, of which he was a member, and was largely attended.

Glenbeulah - The suicidal death of Edwin Badger, last Wednesday, cast a terrible gloom over the entire community. The burial took place on Friday in charge of the International Order of Odd Fellows of which he was a member. Mr. J.O. Barrett performed the funeral cceremony at Lyceum Hall and his daughter, Mrs. Hattie Bowman, read a very effective and appropriate poem. The singing by the Greenbush choir was excellent. The funeral was the most largely attended of any the ever took place in this village.

Glenbeulah - The sad death of Mr. Badger is yet wrapt in mystery, as far as we can learn. Such a shock as the suicide created was never known here before. He was a good citizen and one whom everyone respected and liked, a man who had but very few enemies. Stories were circulated that his accounts with the town of Greenbush would be found irregular, but we are happy to inform you readers that the Town Board have checked the books all through and the town accounts are all correct. The business was kept in Mr. Badger's usual correct way. The funeral last Friday-although the day was cold and disagreeable-was the largest ever seen in the village. It was estimated that 1,000 people were in attendance. Only about two-thirds of the friends were able to get into Lyceum hall where the funeral ceremonies were held. The singing was very good. The poem read by Mrs. E.H. Bowman was excellent and very appropriate. -Nearly one hundred Odd Fellows, of which order Mr. Badger was an honored member, were in procession.

The funeral of the lamented Edward Badger was attended by something like a thousand people, on last Friday morning. The Odd Fellows had charge of the mournful exercises. The Rev. J.O. Barrett spoke briefly yet very appropriately of the deceased, at Lyceum Hall. Mrs. E.H. Bowman read a most touching poem. Thus has passed away one of the worthiest and most respected citizens of Sheboygan County.

J.O. Barrett died at his home in Browns Valley on Tuesday morning. For two years past he has suffered from an ailment the exact nature of which was not known until a few days before his death, when it developed that he was suffering from a cancer located near his heart. The funeral occurred Wednesday and the remains were taken to the old home of deceased at Glen Buela{sic}, Wis. for interment. Mr. Barrett was a man of unusually bright intellect, whose opinions always commanded attention and respect. For several years and at the time of his death he held the position of secretary of the State Forestry Association, and in whatever capacity he served he was ever found faithful to his trust. He was well and favorably known throughout the entire state, and his public career was such that the people of his home county were ever proud to claim him as a citizen. By his death the state loses one of her brightest and most useful citizens, and all will unite in extending sympathy to the sorrowing family. Mr. Barrett was seventy-six years of age and he has resided in this county for seventeen years past.

- F.M. Barrett left Wednesday to accompany the remains of his father, J.O. Barrett, of Browns Valley, to their last resting place at Glen Buela, Wis.

Minneapolis, Minnesota - February 10, 1898 - The friends of forestry will have cause to mourn the death of J.O. Barrett, which occurred at his home at Brown's Valley. Since coming to this state he had been active in the cause of forestry, and has been for many years secretary of the state association.

Mr. Barrett was born in Caanan, Maine, April 13, 1823. In 1853 he was married to Olive S. Moore, who survives him. Shortly after his marriage he moved to Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and resided in that state until 1881, when he located in Brown's Valley and engaged in tree planting. During his residence in Wisconsin Mr. Barrett devoted himself to literary pursuits, and was well known through out the state. During the war he was publisher of a newspaper in Eau Claire, and devoted much of his time to the organization of companies. Owing to deafness he could not muster for active service as a soldier, but he was appointed chaplain of the 8th Wisconsin Regiment of Volunteers and started to join the regiment in the South, but upon reaching Chicago news was received of Lee's surrender, and there was no need of further service in the field of battle. The 8th Wisconsin was the regiment which attained such notoriety by carrying the eagle, "Old Abe", through much active service during the war.

At the close of the war Mr. Barrett wrote a history of "Old Abe" and personally exhibited the old war bird at the centennial in Philadelphia, and while there sold 500,000 copies of the history.

Besides his wife, Mr. Barrett left three sons and one daughter, H. W. Barrett, druggist; Dr. W.O. Barrett, dentist; and Mrs. E.H. Bowman, all of Brown's Valley; and F.M. Barrett, banker of Wheaton, Minnesota. Four brothers survive him, W.M. Barrett, Devils Lake, secretary of the State Forestry Association of North Dakota; John R. Barrett, Anoka, Minnesota and Levi and Timothy Barrett of Caanan, Maine. -Sentinel.

Mr. Barrett was a resident of Glenbeulah for a number of years and there the remains will be interred on Friday forenoon, Cassia Lodge, F. & A.M. of this city conducting services.

Amelia Bueker was born Dec. 8, 1846 in Sangenholzhausen, duchy of Sippe-Detmold, Germany. She was the second of four children born to Herr and Frau Herman Bueker.

In infancy she came with her parents across the sea. Early in the year 1847 a band of pilgrims left their homes in the "Fatherland" and set their faces toward the new world in search of new homes. On the 4th of May, 1847, the party consisting of 112 persons, young and old, embarked from Bremen on the the ship "Agnes von Bremen."

The ship was a sailing craft. After a voyage of several weeks the ship landed at Quebec, Canada. There the colony disembarked. Thence the colony made its way by boat down the St. Lawrence, and overland by rail to Buffalo, N. Y. From Buffalo they took a steamship over the lakes to Milwaukee, Wis. There the colony separated, the larger number settling in the primeval forest near what became later the town of Franklin, Sheboygan Co., Wis., a small portion of the colony going to Freeport, Ill.

Amelia Bueker was married in Franklin, Wis., March 31, 1869, to Henry Bruengger. They had no children. They, however, have an adopted daughter, whom they adopted in July, 1874.

For eleven years Mr. and Mrs. Bruengger lived in Kohlsvill, Washington Co., Wis., where Mr. Bruengger served as pastor. Thence they came to the German colony in Clark Co., near Greenwood, Wis., where Mr. Bruengger served the church as paster for two or three years. This colony is a branch of the original colony which settled near Franklin, Wis.

Mrs. Bruengger passed away at Greenwood on Aug. 26, 1905, leaving a husband, a daughter and three grandchildren--Mona, Henry, and Lee Wallis. Other near relatives of the deceased are her own brother, Mr. Frederick Bueker; two half-brothers, Mr. Henry and Mr. Conrad Humpke, and a half sister Mrs. Mary Arpke. These all mourn her loss.

From the original colony which came over on the ship, the "Agnes von Bremen," have gone forth several breach colonies from the vicinity of Franklin. One of these branch colonies settled in the state of Nebraska.

May the colony meet again on the other shore--meet to part no more.

For further information regarding this colony consult the booklet which is entitled, "Das Sippe-Detmolder Settlement In Wisconsin"--geschrieber and verfass von Jerome C. Arpke, B. S. This colony has an interesting history.

Two Sheboygan county residents were among the victims of hunting mishaps over the weekend as deer season opened in northern Wisconsin.

Mrs. Elizabeth Peterman, 22, of Black River, was killed Sunday in what was the state's most tragic hunting accident to date this year, and Walter Blindauer, 45, of Sheboygan, route 1, died late Saturday of a gunshot wound incurred Saturday morning.

Mrs. Peterman, who had accompanied her husband, Delworth to the Crivitz deer area, was struck by a stray bullet that plunged through the wall of the farm home in which she was visiting. The bullet struck her in the breast, and she died almost immediately.

Mr. Blindauer, who had gone to Florence county with a party of friends from this county, was hit by a bullet shortly before noon Saturday while hunting in Fence township, Florence county, and died about 5:15 p.m. Saturday.

The Petermans were visiting at the farm home of Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Hruska, former Sheboygan residents, about three miles east of Crivitz. They were accompanied by their three year old son, David, and by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Reichert, 2404 S. Seventeenth street.

Mr. Peterman and Mr. Reichert had been hunting early Sunday and had returned to the farm home shortly before 10 a.m.

All were gathered in the home when the bullet pierced the wall and hit Mrs. Peterman, who was seated in a chair at the time.

The bullet had been fired by John Dalluge, 23, who lived two farms distant from the Hruska home. Dalluge said he fired three shots at a deer running across a field and then fired two more when he thought the deer was out of line with the house. An inquest was to be held today.

Mr. Peterman and Mr. Reichert returned to Sheboygan this morning, and the body of Mrs. Peterman is to arrive here late today.

Mr. Blindauer was shot underneath his right arm. One of the first persons to reach him was a nephew, Jerome Blindauer, who had been living at the Blindauer home at Erdman and had accompanied Mr. Blindauer on the hunting trip. A coroner's jury ruled that Mr. Blindauer was wounded by an unidentified hunter.

Mr. Blindauer's hunting companions were his brother, Frank, also of Sheboygan, route 1, his nephew, Jerome, Louis Bender and son, Donald, of the town of Mosel, Arwin Kaemmer, of the town of Lima, and Herman Wehmeyer, town of Herman.

River Gives Up A Corpse. Mystery Surrounds Death of Unidentified Man who if found floating in Stream. The body of an unidentified man was found floating in the Sheboygan river in the vicinity of the Dillingham factory at 8 o'clock last evening. The body was that of a man about 35 years old, smooth shaven, 5 foot 9 inches in height, weighing about 165 pounds, dark hair and gray eyes. The body was attired in dark striped trousers, but no coat or shoes. The letters C.R.B. were marked in the undershirt and overshirt. The body was discovered by Michael Stecker, 228 South Fourteenth street. Mr. Stecker was walking along the dock and noticed an object in the water some distance from the dock. He could not make out what it was, and threw a stone near it. It did not move so he procured a pike pole and pulled at it. He then knew it was a body, and hauled it to shore. He at once notified the police department and the coroner, and the body was taken to the Fessler undertaking establishment, where it will be kept until identified. The body was found just north of Wisconsin avenue. The police department had no report of any missing persons and the identity remains a mystery. Two physicians who examined the body are of the opinion that it had not been in the water more than four, or at the most, seven days. The absence of complete attire is regarded by the police as an odd feature of the matter. There will be an inquest held this morning.
