The funeral was held Wednesday morning at Osceola church, with interment in the Greenbush cemetery, Rev. Fr. Heissler officiating.

As sad as it was startling, the news spread over the city Wednesday morning, when the announcement was issued from the home of Jas. Godfrey on Eastman street that Mrs. Godfrey had suddenly expired of heart failure. Mrs. Godfrey had been in her usual health and went about making preparations for Christmas, which has brought gloom and sorrow to the Godfrey home. She had also sent presents to some of her friends, and had a great many more in readiness to be sent before Christmas. But alas the hand of death put a sudden stop to the plans she so fondly desired.

Mrs. Catherine L. Godfrey was born in 1872 in the town of Mitchell and received her education in the public schools. After attaining her majority she taught school for several years. In 1889 she was married to James Godfrey in Mitchell and of that union, Robert Godfrey, who is engaged in the lumber business at Glenbeulah survives.

Brogan of Mitchell and Mrs. Anna Sullivan of West Allis.

It would be difficult to emphasize too strongly the excellent traits and character of this truly noble hearted woman. Mrs. Godfrey lived to serve others and a large circle of genuine friends testify to the many good deeds that she was wont to do and the greatest tribute which can be given to her memory is that she lived to love and serve where she could. May she indeed rest in the peace which she has earned and which is reserved for those who honestly do {th??} of God.

Suffering with a complication of diseases brought about through an accident, occurring while in the discharge of his duties as a motorman for the Sheboygan Railway and Electric Company, John Gaynor, a well known resident of this city, passed away at his home on Plymouth street early Monday morning. His demise came as a cruel blow to the family and though his condition has been precarious, only a few days before it was thought that he would survive. The death of Mr. Gaynor removes from our midst one of the most estimable citizens of the community and has brought the bitter cup of sorrow to the lips of relatives and friends. He was a heart of gold. He was one of nature's noblemen in the truest sense. Brave, generous, manly, his was the soul of honor and his friends and friendships were sacred to him. In temperament he was mild, concilatory and candid, yet firm and he enjoyed the confidence of all whom he knew. He believed in spreading sunshine though his life. His greeting was always a cheery one and he always had a smile for those he knew. He believed that the man who scatters flowers in the pathway of his fellowmen, who lets in the dark places of life the sunshine of human sympathy and human happiness, is following in the footsteps of his Master.

Mr. Gaynor was injured on Wednesday evening, Jan. 24th. He was unloading trunks at the time, at the Sheboygan freight-house of the street car company. Placing one foot on the unloading platform and the other on the car platform he was swinging a trunk across, when the foot on the unloading platform slipped off and he fell striking his side against the platform with sufficient force to fracture three ribs. The company physician was called and he was later brought to his home in this city, where he has since been confined to his bed. For the first four days his condition was not considered at all serious but complications set in and despite the fact that he had the best medical attention and the services of a trained nurse, as well as the loving care of those dearest to him, the odds against him were too great and he passed peacefully away to the land bourne from which there is no return.

Mr. Gaynor was born Sept. 19, 1858 in New York and came to Wisconsin with his parents when he was but a year and a half old. The family settled in the town of Mitchell where Mr. Gaynor grew to manhood. He continued to live with the family on the farm until he reached the age of thirty years. Coming to this city he secured employment at the Schwartz Mfg. Co. and on Apr. 7, 1892 was united in marriage to Miss Hannah O'Connell. Soon after their marriage the couple moved to a farm in the town of Mitchell where they resided for four or five years. Disposing of his farm Mr. Gaynor moved to Sheboygan and entered the employ of the street car company. After a few years residence there he moved to this city where he lived until the time of his death. The union was blessed with seven children all of whom survive. Besides the wife there are left to mourn the passing of Mr. Gaynor, his aged mother, who is past 93 years of age and makes her home with her son Michael on the old homestead; the seven children, Mary, Lauretta, Agnes, Clara, all at home; Clarence of Brooklyn, N.Y. and William and Bernard, who live at home; two brothers, Matt. of this city and Michael of the town of Mitchell, two sisters, Mrs. P.H. McNicholas and Mrs. Ed. O'Connell of this city and Mrs. Stephen A. Douglas of Cascade.

The deceased was a member of the Catholic church and of the Sheboygan Court of the Catholic Order of Foresters and Plymouth Branch 107, Catholic Knights of Wisconsin.

A Tribute To His Memory By One Of His Pioneer Friends

Death has again spread his sable wings over our community and shut out the light reflected by a happy nature and a genial friend. One whose presence always gave pleasure to those with whom he came in contact, one who always looked on the bright side of things and always had a pleasant word of encouragement for all and thereby created friends who will cherish his memory after he has crossed the tide and gone where trials never come. He was a true disciple of optimism. Oh, that the world were blessed by many such men, it would be a happier dwelling place. Selfishness unknown, such were the leading characteristics of our old pioneer friend, Thomas Gahagan, who was called to his reward on January 14, 1908 in the 88th year of his age.

Where with his contemporary pioneers by hard labor and diligent industry they made the wilderness to blossom, as a rose and were instrumental in making this country what it is today. Sacred is the memory of such men.

The young man was twenty-three years of age and had always borne a good reputation, but for some weeks it was quite apparent that his mind was becoming deranged and arrangement had been completed to take him to a sanitarium for treatment within a week. On Tuesday afternoon, he left the house and the following morning his body was found, a razor having been used to effect the purpose.

Mrs. Simon Gillen, wife of the late Attorney Simon Gillen of Sheboygan, passed away at St. Nicholas hospital Wednesday evening. She had been helping to care for her son James, who was ill with pneumonia at the St. Nicholas hospital, and was only ill a short time.

Mrs. Gillen was born in Sheboygan Falls, August 17th, 1856, and was married to Judge Gillen October 20th, 1896 and of that union one son, James Gillen, survives. The funeral will take place Monday forenoon with services at the Holy Name Church and interment will occur in the North Side cemetery.

Mrs. Simon Gillen, widow of the late Judge Simon Gillen, died at St. Nicholas hospital, of pneumonia following an attack of influenza. It is thought that she contracted the disease while nursing her son who was suffering from influenza. The son seems to be recovering, and was at the bedside of the mother when she passed away.

The remains were taken to the Hanchett undertaking parlors where they were prepared for burial. From there they were taken to the home, 1421 North Seventh street, from where the funeral will be held Monday morning. There will be a service at the home at 8:30 a.m. and at Holy Name church at nine o'clock; the Rev. D.F. Thill officiating. The interment will be in the North Side Catholic cemetery, beside her husband.

Mrs. Gillen, whose maiden name was Mary Amelia Stude, was born on August 17, 1856, at Sheboygan Falls. While she was yet an infant her parents removed to Sheboygan, and this city has been her home ever since. Her marriage to Judge Gillen took place October 20, 1896. She is survived by an only son, James Gillen.

The demise of Mrs. T.F. Gilboy of Parnell at St. Vincent's hospital, Green Bay on Tuesday, Dec. 10th, brought an unmeasurable sorrow to her husband, kinfolk and friends. She had gone to Green Bay the week prior, ostensibly to visit friends, and a few days later was taken seriously ill. Her husband and other relatives were summoned and left for there at once. She was removed to the hospital on Thursday, where she passed away Tuesday, fully conscious to the end.

Mrs. Gilboy was born in the town of Mitchell on Aug. 2, 1876. Her maiden name was Margaret R. Manley and in the death of her mother, when she was but two years of age, was given to the care of her mother, Mrs. John Hughes of Mitchell {Sheboygan county}, who cared for her as tenderly as her own. Her marriage to Mr. Gilboy took place on Sept. 22, 1908 and although the union was dissolved by {the} hand of death after only a short span, it was a perfect blending of hearts, as they were as happy with each other as the mind can conceive.

Her death resulted from a goitre, which induced heart trouble. She had been troubled thusly for some time, but with her disposition to be cheerful always, she would not permit others to know of her condition. At Green Bay, she consulted Dr. Minahan, who recognized the fact that her condition was quite serious, although no one felt that it was alarming as it proved to be. She was taken to the hospital but was not operated upon it being deemed unwise to do so at that time. Her condition grew worse from day to day until the end came with her husband and other relatives at her side. She realized that she was not longer for this worldly sphere and confided to her husband, the earthly plans she desired him to meet and when she peacefully expired, she had made her faith with the All-Divine.

It is not given to mortal mind to unravel the destinies that go with humanity. In this connection we find two persons of the same heart and mind, happy in the broadest guage in their new home and in their surroundings, when the home is suddenly and sadly bereft. The mystery remains and while she is gone from earthly scenes, sorrows and joys, she yet lives in the hearts of those who knew her best. In the hour of grief may the loved ones find hope and consolation in the belief that the breaking of earthly ties is but the Spirit's method of transition to a more exalted sphere where an ultimate re-union of hearts will assuage the keenest sorrow.

All along her pathway are strewn remembrances of her in deeds of kindness. How fitting then are the inspiring lines of the poet,
"Beautiful twilight at set of sun,
Beautiful goal with race well run,
Beautiful rest with work well done."

The remains were brought to her late home Wednesday evening, the funeral service being held at St. Michael's church at Parnell, Friday morning, Father Fisher in charge. Beautiful floral remembrances were in profusion betokening the esteem in which she was held and the church was filled by a large number who gathered to pay the last tribute. Interment was made in St. Michael's cemetery.

She is survived by her husband, her father, two brothers William of Eveleth, Minn., Louis of Chicago; three sisters, Mrs. Geo. McGrane of the town of Scott, Mrs. Mike Gaynor, Mitchell and Mrs. Allard of Boise City, Idaho, David Hughes. Conrad, Montana.

Those from a distance who attended the funeral were John and Allie Neugent of Green Bay, Misses Nellie Glboy and Elizabeth Graham, Chicago, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Gilboy of Fond du Lac and WIll Gilboy of Milwaukee.

John Gill, 84, a native of the town of Mitchell, passed away at 9 a.m. Tuesday at St. Agnes hospital, Fond du Lac, following a long illness.

He was born in the town of Mitchell on March {1}, 1866, a son of the late Jo{hn and} Catherine Gill. He was m{arried} to the former Miss Catherine Butler on Sept. 22, 1897, at St. Michael's Catholic church in Mitchell.

The couple lived in Mitchell for many years following their marriage. He served as the township clerk for several years, and acquired a reputation as a singer and violinist.

The Gills then moved to Plymouth and later to Eden in Fond du Lac county. Twenty years ago they moved to the city of Fond du Lac. They celebrated their golden anniversary in 1947.

Survivors include {his} wife; one daughter, Mrs. {?} {Rosella} McCune, of {?} Wash., and two sisters {??}

The body will lie in state at the {Ha}rdgrove and Gordon Funeral home, Fond du Lac, until shortly before the time of services.

The dear one leaves behind to mourn her loss and untimely death, her husband and two young children, besides her parents, four sisters and an only brother and a host of sorrowing relatives and friends. She was in the prime of life and enjoyed the blessings of a happy home, and to His infinite and inscrutable will must be left the solution of the mystery why one so dear and somebody loved and needed was torn from her loving husband and children, her parents, sisters and brother. But their consolation is that they submit to the will of the infinite Father, who does all things for the best.

Mrs. Gill was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Murray of the town of Mitchell where she was born and lived all her life. She was a woman who was loved and esteemed by all having the pleasure of her acquaintance, and her many deeds of unselfish kindness as wife, mother, sister, neighbor and friend, are held dear as memories typical of the immortality that awaits her in the beyond.

The funeral was held at Mitchell church on the 4th inst. Requiem high mass was celebrated by Father Burke. Interment was made in the adjoining cemetery, Jas. Gilboy had charge of the funeral. The pall bearers were Mike McBride, Jas. McGarvey, Chas. Sholz, Michael McBride, Jas. Bowser and C. Corbett.

The bereaved husband and children, the parents, sisters and brother and the relatives have the heartfelt sympathy of all in their great sorrow. T.H.

The Deceased Was The Little Daughter Of Mr. and Mrs. J. Gill of the Town of Mitchell. The Funeral Took Place Last Saturday.

It was on June 10, 1899, that a little daughter came to gladden the hearts of Mr. and Mrs. John Gill of Mitchell. The child was named Grace and being the first born was one around whom many fond hopes of parents were centered.

In June of this year this little girl passed her tenth year and about twenty of her young friends came to help her celebrate the occasion.

But with what grief these same fond parents learned last week that their child, a sufferer from appendicitis in an acute form, had only a small chance of recovery and that an operation was her only source of hope. Dr. Block of Dundee called into consultation Dr. Twohig of Fond du Lac and the operation was performed on Wednesday and on the following day, Sept. 2, the life of the patient little sufferer went out.

The unspeakable sorrow which parents feel for the loss of a beloved child can not be assigned by the commonplaces of condolence. However, there is one thing which should soften the agony of such a bereavement. It is the reflection that little children are pure and guileless and of such is the Kingdom. The fact that, for many it would be better, if they had never passed the stage of innocent youth and grown up only to be a reproach to the world, was most fittingly brought out in the remarks by Rev. Father Fisher at the last services for the dead.

The funeral, which was a large one, took place on Saturday, Two {Article cut off}.

Mrs. Anna Gill, aged ninety-one years, died Wednesday afternoon at four o'clock at her home with her daughter, Mrs. Catherine Williams, 612 Wisconsin avenue. She was the widow of John Gill, who died twenty-five years ago.

The deceased had lived in Sheboygan county the past sixty five years. She was born in County Meath, Ireland and came to America when a young woman. The family settled in Elmira, New York, where they lived about three years before coming to Sheboygan county where they settled in the town of Mitchell. Her name before marriage was Miss Ann Mangan.

Seventeen years ago Mrs. Gill came to Sheboygan to live where she has since made her home. Besides Mrs. Williams she is survived by other children as follows: John Gill of Eden, Miss Ann Gill who lives with her sister, Mrs. Williams in this city and Mrs. Foley also of Sheboygan.

Mrs. Anna Gill, for more than sixty years, a resident of Sheboygan county, dies at 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Kate Williams, 612 Wisconsin ave.

The funeral services will be held from the St. Cyril and Methodius Catholic church Saturday morning, Rev. Father Murphy officiating. Interment will be made in the South Side Catholic cemetery.

Miss Anna Mangan was born in county Meath, Ireland, 92 years ago, {and as a} young girl came to this {country with} her parents locating in New {York}. Sixty-four years ago she was {mar}ried to John Gill in Elmira, New York, and they came almost immediately to Sheboygan county settling in the town of Mitchell on a farm. The old homestead was located about two miles from Parnell and here they resided, and were numbered among the pioneers of the county. Twenty-five years ago this coming May Mr. Gill died and seventeen years ago Mrs. Gill came to this city to make her home.

She is survived by four children, John Gill of Eden, Fond du Lac county and three daughters, Mrs. Kate Williams, Mrs. John Foley and Miss Anna Gill all of this city. Seven grandchildren and six great grandchildren also survive.

Mrs. Gill was a woman, loved and esteemed by all. Out in the town of Mitchell where she lived for so many years she had an extensive acquaintance. There was something about Grandma Gill that impressed you with sincerity, and so it was throughout her life. She was a true christian, and her faith was so strong that it never waivered and in her declining years she seemed more Christian-like. The approach of the end saw her prepared, and without pain, just the snuffing out of the wick she passed from this life to the Great Beyond. Those who survive are consoled in the thoughts that she rendered service to humanity far beyond her years and that her last thoughts were of those about here. Conscious to the end, she just fell into a peaceful sleep to awaken in that other world.

Her son John Gill arrived from Eden this noon to assist in making the arrangements for the funeral.

F. W. Gartman is Called To Rest Here Saturday Night

F. W. {William} Gartman, 79, pioneer Sheboygan county cheesemaker who was widely known in Sheboygan and Ozaukee counties, passed away at St. Nicholas hospital at 11 p.m. Saturday after an illness.

The death of Mr. Gartman will be deeply regretted by his many friends, for he had a congenial personality and enjoyed being with people. His favorite diversion was the game of skat, and until he became ill he enjoyed playing this game with his friends.

A member of a family of 14, he was born on May 14, 1864 in the town of Wilson in this county and at the age of 20 started learning the cheesemaking business at Holy Cross in Ozaukee county.

In 1889 he took over the cheese factory at Weeden's Station {Town Wilson, Sheboygan Cnty} which he owned and operated until 1913. At that time he moved to his home at 1010 N. Ninth street where he resided the past 30 years.

Mr. Gartman also owned and operated the Pine Grove cheese factory in the town of Holland and for a short time owned a cheese factory in the town of Mosel. Later he adopted the trade of carpenter and worked at it until 15 years ago when he retired.

He was a member of the Wisconsin Cheese Makers association and was acquainted with almost everybody in that industry during the years that he was still active.

The marriage of Mr. Gartman to Helen Wolf took place at Holy Cross {Ozaukee Cnty} on April 21, 1891.

Born: September 2, 1901 - Died: September 2, 1945

Louis H. Gartman, 44, prominent Sheboygan manufacturer and for many years a leader in the Community Fund and other welfare projects, passed away at Memorial hospital Sunday evening after an illness. He died on his forty-fourth birthday anniversary.

While Mr. Gartman had not been in good health for a number of years, the death of a person so well known and so popular is always a shock to the community, and it is a particularly severe one in this instance. "Louie," as he was known familiarly by young and old, had hosts of friends in all walks of life who will deeply mourn his death.

Although he became well known as president of the Van Der Vaart Brick and Building Supply company, as president of the Sheboygan Community Fund and in the numerous other worthwhile activities which he helped make successful in Sheboygan, "Louie" will best be remembered for his fine upright character and for the exceptional personality which won him so many friends and which made it impossible for anyone to dislike him.

Born in County

One of the outstanding assets of his fine character was a rare sense of humor which always made it a pleasure to be in his company, and it is seldom that any group of his friends gets together without recalling some sparkling bit of wit contributed by "Louie" at their last meeting. This was especially true at the Elks club where Mr. Gartman, a past exalted ruler and former trustee, would meet his friends for a card game during his recreation hours.

Mr. Gartman was born Sept. 2, 1901, in the town of Wilson and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. William F. {sic, should be F. William} Gartman. His father died a number of years ago and his mother is one of the survivors.

Mr. Gartman attended school in this city and upon his graduation from Sheboygan High school he became a clerk for the Knauf Cigar company.

Expanded Business

Later he conducted a successful insurance business for a number of years and then became a saleman for the Van Der Vaart Brick and Building Supply Co. Upon the death of George Van Der Vaart in 1932, he became vice president and general manager. He continued in this capacity until 1936 when he became president of the company following the death of John Van Der Vaart. During Mr. Gartman's presidency the company was expanded with the erection of a ready-mix concrete plant in 1940 and the purchase of the Weigand Concrete Products company of Green Bay in 1944.

Not only was his leadership seen in the concern he represented, but Mr. Gartman, as a citizen, was interested in the welfare of his community to the extent of being connected with many philanthropic activities. In 1938 he was chairman of the manufacturer's division of the Sheboygan Community fund drive, and in 1939 he became campaign chairman. He served as president of the Community Fund in 1940 and 1941, continued to serve as a director, and last year he was elected honorary president. Mr. Gartman was appointed to serve on Selective Service Board No. 2 in December, 1940. He was elected a director of the South-West State bank in January, 1943.

Had Many Interests

Mr. Gartman took a great deal of pleasure and interest in his affiliation with the Sheboygan Lodge of the Elks. He served the lodge in various capacities, including the office of exalted ruler from 1929 to 1931 and later as trustee of the lodge.

Mr. Gartman was one of the founders, a charter director, of the Sheboygan Y.M.C.A. and a past vice president and director of the Sheboygan Association of Commerce.

He also was a former president of the Rotary club at Sheboygan. At the time of his death Mr. Gartman was serving as secretary-treasurer of the Wisconsin Concrete Pipe association.

He was greatly interested in the promotion of athletics in the community and in that connection served as a director of the Sheboygan Baseball association.

Mr. Gartman was married to Miss Erma Klewe, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. August Klewe in 1930. There were no children.

Besides his wife and mother, Mr. Gartman is survived by four sisters, Mrs. John {Katherine} Mersberger, Mrs. George {Henrietta} Hammes, Mrs. Roy {Madeline} Head of Sheboygan, and Mrs. George {Leona} Thull of Detroit, Mich., and two brothers, Walter of Sheboygan, and Lt. William J. Gartman of the U.S. navy stationed at Camp LeJeune, N.C.

Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Thursday at the Robert H. Kroos Funeral home. Friends may call at the funeral home from this evening until the hour of the services.

Louis H. Gartman Is Laid To Rest After Services Today

With the Robert H. Kroos Funeral home filled to capacity and even overflowing with his many friends from all walks of life and from near and far, impressive funeral services were held at 10 a.m. today for the late Louis H. Gartman, well known citizen and civic leader.

The Rt. Rev. Msgr. Phillipp Dreis of Holy Name church conducted the ceremonies at the funeral home. Then the long cortege proceeded to Wildwood cemetery where officers of the Elks performed the committal service and burial was made.

"When the news of our friend's death came to us, it came as a shock to you, to me, to every one," said Monsignor Dreis in his tribute to Mr. Gartman as an outstanding citizen of the community.

"There were so many fine things Mr. Gartman did for the community. His business was an asset to the city, the many charitable things he did, the friendships he made - all were good for the community. Whatever was known of him in these many phases of his life was good, and that is why the news of his death was such a shock to all of us.

You can say that in this instance death was expected. But death really is always unexpected, and we all extend our deep sympathies to members of his family and those who were near and dear to him.

Fine Citizen

"There are some things that we, his friends, can do. We can think of him as the fine citizen that he was, think of the many good deeds he did and try to emulate him in our charitable activities and in our daily life. We can also pray that his soul rest in peace with God, for he is now in hands greater than anything human or on this earth."

The deceased was born on March 23, 1891, on the same farm where he grew from infancy to manhood, and passed away, being the son of John and Caroline Gessert, with whom he was living when called to his reward.

On July 23, 1919, he was united in marriage with Lydia Olm, daughter of Ferdinand and Hulda Olm, at the Evangelical church, at Schwarzwald and at once took up their residence at the Gessert home farm.

Although in poor health for the past three years, he was able to attend to his farm duties until about six weeks ago, and while his condition was not alarming, to within a week of his demise, it was apparent to those who were near and dear to him, that his presence among them would be but of short duration and after a week of ceaseless suffering the end came peacefully to alleviate his earthly pain, as well as a comforting relief to those in constant watch, rendering all possible comfort but to no avail, the direct cause being a complication of diseases superinduced by liver trouble.
