The grim reaper has invaded another home and the soul of Geo. Smith, an esteemed and worthy pioneer, winged its flight aloft early on Sunday morning, May 26, death being cause by a complication of ailments characteristic of advanced age.

Mr. Smith was born in County Down, Ireland, in the year 1827. In the year 1847, he immigrated to America and settled in Kenosha where he remained a short time when he moved to Russell and continued to reside until the time of his death. On April 20th, 1857, he was married to Miss Alice Digney of Fond du Lac.

The deceased had many reminiscences of the pioneer days and took great delight in relating them. He also took a deep interest in everything pertaining to church, its welfare and progress even to the end and was happily rewarded by being fortified by all the spiritual consolation of the Catholic church.

He is survived by three children; Mrs. John Cain, Miss Alecia and Charles all residents of this town.

The funeral occurred on Tuesday of last week from his late home to the St. Anna Catholic church, where the last sad rites were celebrated by Father Stemper with interment in the adjoining cemetery beside his wife who preceded him thirteen years ago.

The bearers of the pall were Peter Neugent, Willie Cain, Geo. Keenan, Thomas Grogan and John and Will DeLaHunt.

St. Anna - Mrs. Margaret Smith, 77, of the town of Russell, passed away Wednesday morning at St. Nicholas hospital, Sheboygan, where she had been a patient for the past 10 days.

Not for many years has the neighborhood and surrounding country been thoroughly shocked as when reported, that in a spell of despondency caused by ill health, Charles Smith had taken his life by hanging.

The deceased, who suffered with a {se}rious form of stomach trouble at intervals for the past six years, had just experienced an attack more serious than all previous ones, and with a complication of severe nervousness.

For about a week he was noticed by members of his family to be in a nervous state, who caused Dr. Brickbauer of Plymouth to be summoned on Thursday, November 10. He talked cheerfully to the patient and prescribed for him, and at the conclusion of his visit he seemed so much improved as to cause the spirits of his entire family to become thoroughly elated, which was only harder to endure when crushed and replaced by the saddest memories ever felt by human hearts.

The deceased was about 50 years of age and had all the necessary qualifications of true manhood. He was a good church member and a member of the Married Men's society, who attended the funeral in a body. A very kind husband and indulgent father. A wife, who was formerly Miss Marguerite Crosby of Mitchell, three sons, George, Harry and Norman, one daughter, Miss Marion, survive him, together with two sisters, Mrs. John Cain of Russell, and Miss Alecia Smith of Plymouth.

"O Grave, where is they victory! O Death, where is they sting!" Well might this young man exclaim thus, for he had led an exemplary life. He died as he had lived, at peace with his fellow man, at peace with his God, and well prepared and fortified by the sacraments of his church, fully reconciled to meet his God. Death for him had no terrors; such was the life of Rodger Smith. He was born in Marquette, Michigan, on Nov. 15, 1874. He died at the home of his parents in the town of Mitchell on June 21, 1913.

He was highly esteemed by those having the pleasure of his acquaintance, and he had the faculty of making friends of those whom he came in contact, either in a social or business way. Consequently his life was a success.

He is survived by the following relatives and friends, who mourn his loss, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Smith, Peter Smith of Virginia, Minn.; Michael Smith of Montreal, Wisconsin; the Misses Mary A. and Agnes and John and Henry Smith and Mrs. Charles Skelton of the town of Mitchell.

Samuel H. Smiley, 52 years old, well known business man of Sheboygan Falls, dropped dead last week Friday, in the kitchen of his home. Apoplexy was the cause of death. He was well known in this city where he had many friends and acquaintances. He was discovered dead about 7:30 o'clock by Mrs. Smiley.

Mr. Smiley was born and spent his early life at Orfordville. After his marriage he lived at Beloit where he was engaged in the shoe business. He later came to Sheboygan Falls and became a traveling salesman for Watkin remedies. After being with the Watkins company for 12 years Mr. Smiley became identified with the Mortgage and Security company of Sheboygan. At the time of his death he was planning to enter the wholesale egg business. He was a member of the Episcopal church and of the Knights of Pythias lodge.

Besides his wife, he leaves three daughters, Misses Cesarine, Margaret and Katherine Smiley and one brother, B.E. Smiley of Madison.

When Christmas morn was ushered in and all homes should be filled with good cheer, one home was cast in the deepest gloom when Matthew H. Sprangers passed to his eternal rest. Deceased was taken ill eight months ago and sought relief through an operation at St. Nicholas Hospital at Sheboygan and the best of hopes were entertained for his ultimate recovery, but a change soon set in which baffled the skill of the most noted physicians. Every effort known to medical science was used to alleviate his suffering but to no avail and he passed peacefully away at ten o'clock on Christmas morning. Deceased was born in the city of Sheboygan on March 20, 1859 and but when a lad his parents moved onto a farm in the township of Holland where he grew to manhood. In 1883 he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Lamb, and engaged in farming which he followed until 10 years ago with the exception of three years in business at Oostburg when he moved into the village and purchased the Siefert property at East Adell. He is survived by his wife and two brothers, Rev. J.J. Sprangers of Little Chute, Wis., and W.H. Sprangers of Waldo. The funeral was held from his late home.

Word has been received in the city that Miss Dellie Stoltzmann, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.W. Stoltzmann, of Sheboygan, died at a hospital in Milwaukee, Monday.

Miss Stoltzmann was about nineteen years of age and besides her parents, leaves several brothers and sisters, Mrs. Rob.

Mrs. Streblow, wife of William Streblow, died Friday at her home on the town line east of Plymouth after an illness of a few days.

The funeral was held on Monday from the Catholic church at Elkhart Lake, Father Schmits of Kiel officiating and Undertaker Schram conducting the obsequies. The remains were laid at rest in the Rhine Catholic cemetery.

Death, which is always terrible, was made doubly so in this instance by the fact that it took away a young child and loyal wife, and has broken up a happy home. It is less than two years ago that she was married to Mr. Streblow and they were happy in each other's love. They were also prospering in a worldly way, owning a cheese factory with a large patronage. They were looking hopefully to the future, when the angel of death came and suddenly put an end to their bliss.

Mrs. Streblow was born in the town of Rhine twenty-two years ago. Her maiden name was Helen Zimmermann, and she was the daughter of J. Zimmermann of that town. Over a year ago she became the wife of William Streblow, by whom she is survived.

Captain Joseph Swift, of the town of Glenbeulah, died on Wednesday, apparently of old age. Mr. Swift was an old sea captain and was one of the first settlers in that part of the state. He was 80 years of age and leaves a wife and two daughters, Mrs. Slade and Mrs. Dillingham.

Demise of Captain Joseph Swift, Founder of the Village of Glenbeulah. On Wednesday, December 13, the spirit of Captain Joseph Swift left its earthly tabernacle and joined the innumerable host that have gone before. The deceased was born in West Falmouth, Mass., July 12, 1801, and consequently at the time of his death was nearly 82 years of age. Of his early life about 25 years were spent on the ocean. He first served before the mast on a whaler, but the greater part of his sea life was passed as Captain of a merchant ship, during which time he visited nearly all the known parts of the world, and on the discovery of gold in California, was among the first to double Cape Horn on a voyage to the new Eldorado. In 1857 having abandoned a seafaring life, he came to Glenbeulah, and became the founder of the village. For a number of years he was a member of the manufacturing firm of Swift, Dillingham and Company, took an active part in the extension of the Sheboygan and Fond du Lac Railroad to this place, and at one time held the office of county commissioner. Prominently identified with the interests of the village, a true friend of education, an upright citizen and just man, the death of the Captain will be felt by the entire community, while a wife and two daughters, Mrs. Edwin Slade and Mrs. J.T. Dillingham are left to mourn the loss of a kind and loving husband and affectionate and indulgent father. Mrs. J.A. Serverence, MD, of Milwaukee, in a touching and eloquent manner pronounced the funeral sermon. {Note by MJP: Mrs. Severance was also a Spiritualist minister.}

Passed away peacefully to the spirit life, December 13, 1882 at 4:00pm, Captain Joseph Swift, of Glenbeulah Wisconsin, in the eighty-second year of his age, beloved by all who knew him. He was noted for charity, kindness to the poor, and for integrity and goodness of character. He leaves a wife and two daughters, Mr. Slade and Mrs. Dillingham, to whom he was tenderly attached. With his companion of 76 years he has traveled life's journey for more than half a century, with such devoted loving care for each other as are seldom known. He was born in West Falmouth, Mass., July 12, 1801. In early years he followed a seafaring life as captain in the merchant service, exchanging merchandise with foreign countries. At one period, he was a captain of a steamer rung between New Orleans and Galveston, carrying mail and passengers. On the breaking out of the gold excitement in California in '49, he commanded a ship laden with merchandise around Cape Horn to San Francisco. In 1856 he came to Wisconsin, was one of the Glenbeulah Land Company, and in 1857 became one of the founders of the village and has since been prominent in all of the enterprises of the village; was senior partner of the firm Swift, Dillingham and Company and took much interest in the Sheboygan and Fond du Lac Railroad, until it was completed to the village of Glenbeulah. He was one of the commissioners of Sheboygan County when it was governed under that system, and was much respected for his judgment in public affairs. The funeral services were held at the house of the deceased, Sunday afternoon, December 17, conducted by Mrs. J.H. Severance, MD, of Milwaukee, whose remarks were eulogistic of the deceased, with beautiful lessons for this and the other life. {note by MJP: Mrs. Severance was also a Spiritualist minister.}

Mrs. George Senglaub passed away Saturday at Trinity hospital, Milwaukee, of heart trouble.

Mrs. Senglaub's home was near Waldo. She had been sick for some time and came to Plymouth and remained with her parents for awhile, but growing worse was taken to Milwaukee about two weeks ago where physicians informed the family that she had but a short time to live.

Her maiden name was Hattie Wichman and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Wichman of this city survive as do her husband and a sister, Mrs. Emma Pfrang of Plymouth and two brothers, Henry Wichman of Loyal and William Wichman of Greenwood.

Sheboygan county is suffering an epidemic of fatal accidents.

First came the shocking accident of Feb. 9 in which three young ladies lost their lives, then the crossing accident of yesterday and this morning Michael Straub by a fall in the city of Plymouth sustained a broken neck resulting in instant death.

Mr. Straub, who is a retired farmer residing at 323 Plymouth street in that city left his home to take the train for a visit to relatives and friends in Lima and Lyndon and when near the Methodist church about 175 feet from his home he fell on the sidewalk, sustaining a broken nose and broken neck. The only witness to the sad accident was Walter Fett who hurried to the assistance of the elderly gentleman with the intention of assisting him to rise. It was then that he discovered that he was unconscious and when a physician arrived a few minutes after he had been removed to his home, it was ascertained that he was dead.

Mr. Straub arose at his usual time this morning and after partaking of a hearty breakfast left hurridly to catch the morning train, a daughter Mrs. Schneider of Lyndon, looking forward to a visit from her father today.

Whether he slipped or stubbed his toe will never be definitely known. When picked up he was lying face downward and unconscious. As it was near train time, no doubt he was hurrying to reach the depot when he fell.

Coroner Feagan was summoned from this city and upon his arrival viewed the remains and took the testimony of the eye witness, Mr. Fett and that of the physicians and others who were first on the scene.

The accident occurred within a stone's throw of his residence and there was a pathetic scene when he was carried into that home from which he had journeyed forth only a few minutes previous. At first Mrs. Straub believed he was only stunned but later the news was broken to her of his death.

Mr. Straub was born in Erie county, New York, October 14, 1845 and came to Wisconsin with his parents in 1852 when but seven years of age. For several years he followed the occupation of a farmer and did some carpenter work in the town of Lima. Later he retired and had resided in Plymouth for several years. He was married to Miss Henrietta Gass, a number of years ago, and is survived by the widow and one daughter, Mrs. George Schneider of Lyndon.

The funeral will in all probability be held Saturday with interment in the cemetery at Onion River.

While a broken neck brought instantaneous death to Michael Straub of Plymouth, it was the belief of the physicians summoned that a stroke of apoplexy brought about the fall which resulted in his death.

Mr. Straub who was a fleshy man, had partaken of a hearty breakfast and was hurrying to make a train when he fell. The fact that he fell on his face breaking his nose lends weight to the view of the physicians, for by using his hands he could have avoided injury to his face, and no doubt to his neck. The place where he fell was perfectly smooth, not an obstruction over which he could stumble. This led the physicians to make a more thorough examination and while there is no question that the direct cause of his death was from a broken neck yet the fall was undoubtedly caused by a stroke of apoplexy.

Henry F. Schmidt, of Plymouth, died on Tuesday. His death came as a surprise and shock to the community. He lived with his family in Plymouth for the last twenty years.

He was out picking hickory nuts near the city, when he fell from one of the branches. He felt no pain at first and started to walk for his home, but had gone but a short distance when he had to have assistance to continue on his way. It appears that in the fall to the ground, he injured his spine, and the next day, his lower extremities became paralyzed. He was taken to the Plymouth hospital and died while undergoing an operation.

Mr. Schmidt was born in Milwaukee, May 4, 1859, and married Miss Lina Wandersleben of that city in 1885. Two years later they came to Plymouth and with the exception of one year they spent in Medford, they have resided in Plymouth since coming there. He is survived by his wife, two children, Oswald of Plymouth and Mrs. George Stein of Evansville, Ind., a brother, Joseph, of Milwaukee, and a sister, Mrs. Joseph Kuehne of Canada.

Services were held yesterday afternoon from his home, the Rev. Schmidt officiating. Interment was in the Woodlawn cemetery of Plymouth.

God looked around his garden
And found an empty place
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your precious face.
God saw you were getting tired
And a cure was not to be,
So he put his arms around you
And whispered, "Come with me."
God came down to be with you
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering,
He knew you were in pain,
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
With tearful eyes we watched
As we saw you fade away,
And though we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
