ARTHUR HACHEZ Arthur Hachez, the 28 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Ferd. Hachez, of this village, shot himself in the fore head with a twenty-two rifle about half past nine Tuesday morning, while his parents were at the cemetery putting flowers on the graves of relatives. On their return home about ten o’clock that morning they were surprised to see their son coming to meet them with blood streaming down his face. No admission could be gained from him as to how the shot was fired, and he would only mumble incoherently. His one wish was to be left alone and it seemed as though he wanted to die. Dr. Martens was immediately called, but the young man pushed the doctor aside when he tried to examine the wound and refused to be treated. Force was used to subdue the patient and the wound was dressed. Latest reports say that the patient is resting easily, but no hopes can be given that he will live. The shot was fired in the kitchen of the house, the bullet entering the center of the forehead and taking a downward course on the left side entering the mouth. Arthur must have dropped to the floor after shot, as a large pool of blood was found in the kitchen under his cap. When the blood was being washed up the bullet was found on the floor where he had spit it out. He later recovered enough to wander about the yard until found by his parents. Mrs. Wm Luehr of Sheboygan Falls, sister of the young man, was sent for. Owing to her being out of town she did not reach here until today (Wednesday morning). Calumet County reporter, May 31, 1911 (Note: It is not known yet if he died from his wounds, all that was found is the stone with his name and no dates/census has him b. about 1883)

AUGUST E. HANSEN At the high old age of 86 years, 6 months and 17 days, and for several months a sufferer from the infirmaties of old age. August Hansen closed his eyes in sleep eternal Sunday evening, February 18th. August Emanuel Hansen was born at Marne, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, August 1st, 1830. In 1857 he emigrated to the United States, coming directly to New Holstein. The following year he was married to Miss Margaretha Postel and the couple moved to their farm just over the town line of Charlestown on the Hayton road. Here they resided for thirty-five years, moving to the village of New Holstein in 1893. Mrs. Hansen preceded her husband in death in 1907, since which time, until his final decline a year ago, he lived alone, as he was in vigorous health all the time. The first premonition of the approaching end came nearly two years ago, when during the Memorial Day services at Chilton, he was stricken with a fainting spell, from which however he recovered rapidly, so that he was able to take his place in the line of march to the cemetery at New Holstein in the afternoon. After that, however he suffered one or two light strokes of paralysis, and a year ago, was removed to the home of his daughter, Mrs. Geo. Schildhauer, where he was cared for until the end. When the country was in danger in the dark days of the Civil war, Mr. Hansen enlisted in Company E of the 21st Wis. The regiment, under the command of Col. Harrison C. Hobart left the state Sept. 11th, 1862, and with his regiment he took part in the campaigns in Kentucky and Tennessee during the years 1862 and 1863. The regiment was made up of splendid fighting stock, and took a prominent part in the battles of Perryville, and under Gen. Phil Sheridan, in the two days’ battle of Stone River and Murfreesboro. During the summer of 1863 they were under Geo. Rosencrans and took part in the campaigns in eastern Tennessee which culminated in the bloody battle of Chickamauga. The 21st fought under Gen. Thomas and under this able commander saved the union army from what might have proved annihilation but for Thomas‘ stubborn resistance for two days against the assaults of the Confederate army, this brilliant stand earned for Gen. Thomas the name “Rock of Chickamauga” But the 21st was cut off from the body of Thomas’ troops and 75 of its officers besides a number of the men were taken prisoner. Mr. Hansen, - who had meanwhile been promoted to the position of lieutenant of his company, among them, Col. Hobart was sent to Libby prison, but most of the prisoners were sent to Andersonville. Among these was Lieut. Hansen. In this prison he was confined until released after Sherman’s famous march from Atlanta to the sea. The released men were so emaciated by starvation and sickness, that few were fit for further decampaigning, and Mr. Hansen was honorably discharged and returned to his farm early in 1865. Mr. Hansen is survived by three sons; Charles and August of New Holstein, and George of Kiel; also by three daughters, Mrs. Henry Greve and Mrs. G. Schildhauer of this village and Mrs. E. Hagemann of Hamilton, Montana. One son, Peter, died at Fond du Lac in 1901. Calumet County Reporter, February 23, 1917
CHARLES HANSEN From Calumet county death records: Charles J. Hansen (v.12 p.344) Widower [of Adolphine Greese] Jan. 16, 1863-March 9, 1949 Son of August E.

GEORGE HANSEN Tuesday afternoon, our citizens were greatly shocked to learn that George Hansen who was living with his sister, Mrs. George Schildhauer in a fit of despondency had ended his life by drinking a dose of carbolic acid. Mr. Hansen had been an invalid for years, in fact, he had never been in perfect health since his early childhood. Other troubles were added to his burdens lately and so, despairing of it all, he decided to end it all and at once. George Hansen was born on the old Hansen farm in Charlestown, April 14, 1865. Here he grew to young manhood, assisting his parents in taking care of the work of the farm. As has been stated, he was never in perfect health, but he was always willing to do his share of the work to the best of his strength and ability. November 14, 1891 he was married to Lina Schildhauer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Schildhauer. The couple took up farming on the old Herman Peters’ farm and continued in that occupation, in spite of Mr. Hansen continued invalidism, until five years ago, when they moved to Kiel. An operation at the Mayo Brothers’ hospital, Rochester, Minnesota, some time ago, seemed to bring some relief to the suffering man, at least for a time. But family troubles came which resulted in the legal separation from his wife some weeks ago. This seems to, added to his long sickness, brought on a deep melancholy, and in a fit of despondency, he decided to unburden himself of it all. The deceased is survived by his widow, one son, Edward, and one daughter, Elsie, also by three sisters; Mrs. Henry Greve and Mrs. George Schildhauer of this village, and Mrs. Ernest Hagemann, of Hamilton, Montana, and two brothers, Charles and August of this village. His parents and one brother, Peter, preceded him in death. Funeral services were held this Friday afternoon, at New Holstein cemetery. Calumet County Reporter, August 1917

PETER HANSEN (d. 1883) Death notice in Der Nord Westen, 1 Nov. 1883 Peter Hansen died in Kiel on Sunday 28 Oct. He was 56 years old and 12 years in this country. He leaves a wife. His brother is Jurgen Hansen.
PETER HANSEN (d. 1901) Peter J. Hansen, an employee in Helmer’s elevator, on Western Avenue, met instant death, this morning, about 10:15 o’clock, in the elevator. At the time the accident occurred Mr. Hansen was engaged in oiling the machinery. In the rear of the building there is a large belt which connects a shaft overhead with the machinery beneath the floor. Mr. Hansen was standing on the top round of a ladder which was placed there to get from the floor to the platform above, and when oiling the shaft his clothes were caught around it so closely that it was impossible for him to get away. The revolving shaft threw him with such force against the joists of the building as to cause instant death. Probably the only witness of the sad accident was a farmer who had just drawn up a load of grain and who could see Mr. Hansen through the open door. His clothing catching on a safety collar on the shaft he realized the terror of the situation and was heard to cry “Oh” twice. George Olmstead hurried to his assistance and immediately shut off the machinery by means of a lever near the belt, but it was too late. Mr. Hansen was hanging over the shaft terribly mangled and without a stitch of clothing, save on his arm and one foot. He was taken down by J. M. Maraga and Henry Lamore. The ambulance was summoned but upon arriving there was not a question as to his being dead, and Justice Blewett impaneled a coroner’s jury composed of Messrs. John Kinney, George Dick, August Markel, Peter Kreamer, Roy Eastman and George Reader. After viewing the remains, the jury adjourned until Tuesday, at 3 p.m. at Justice Blewett’s office. The remains were taken to D. W. McLain’s undertaking establishment where they were prepared for burial. All the employees of the elevator had been repeatedly cautioned by Mr. Helmer to never oil the machinery while it is in motion. But Mr. Hansen just previous to the accident had been painting. He was formerly employed by the firm of Cargo Bros., of Green Bay, in the old Tibbett’s elevator near the North-Western depot, coming to work for the Helmer Milling company about two weeks ago, and boarding with Mr. C. Calvey, at No. 42 West Division street. He had been visiting at his home in Brillion over Sunday. Mr. Hansen’s parents at New Holstein have been notified of the accident, and are expected to arrive here this evening. Fond du Lac Reporter, Oct 21. ********* Tuesday’s Reporter says: Messrs. Charles and John Hansen, brothers of Peter J. Hansen, who met a tragic death in the Helmer elevator, Monday morning, arrived in the city, Monday evening. This morning the body was shipped to New Holstein, the former home of the deceased, where the funeral will be held Wednesday morning. Peter J. Hansen was 31 years of age and unmarried. Besides the two brothers, he is survived by his aged parents. He was a competent machinist, having been engaged with his brother, Charles, in the management of an elevator at Brillion, which was burned a few years ago, and having worked in elevators in a number of cities at different time. He carried life insurance to the amount of $2,000 at least, and perhaps more. The unfortunate young man is a son of Aug. Hansen, Sr., a veteran of the 21th Wisconsin Volunteer regiment. Peter was well and favorably known throughout the county, he having been born near the village of New Holstein. A few years ago he was engaged in the mercantile business, at Brillion. His death is a sad blow to his aged father and other relatives. Chilton Times, October 26, 1901

GEORGE C. HASS DIED IN CANADA One of the saddest deaths that it has been the duty of the Reporter to record was that of George Hass who died of pneumonia at a hospital in Saskatoon, Canada, Sunday, April 21st. Mr. and Mrs. Hass and family of five children had but barely returned to Canada from a three months visit here with relatives and friends, and right in the midst of busy preparations for his spring work, he was stricken with the dread disease pneumonia. As soon as the nature of the illness revealed itself he was removed to a hospital at Saskatoon where the best of care and medical attention was given the stricken man. But all proved of no avail. After a week of brave fighting he succumbed to the inroads which the disease had made upon his strength and vitality. George Christian Hass was born in Kochendorf, Schleswig Holstein Germany, November 19th, 1883. In 1890 the family emigrated to America, coming directly to New Holstein. Here, March 23d, 1904, he was married to Miss Olga Greve, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Greve, of this village. In 1906 Mr. Hass joined the tide of American emigration into Western Canada, whose broad, fertile prairies proved so attractive a lure to all who were looking for cheaper lands than could be obtained in the older and more thickly settled states. He bought a half section of land on the distant west Canadian frontier, remote from railroads and town connections. Here he brought his young wife and their eight months old baby daughter, Valeria. And here together the two faced the arduous hardships and the oft times harder isolation of the pioneer prairie farmer. But their hearts were stout and brave, their hands were strong and willing, and by way of hard, unintermittent toil, in a few years they carved a fine farm out of the virgin prairie. A short time ago he added the half-section adjoining his to his holding, and he was hence, at his untimely death, the owner of a fine farm of one section. Four more children came to make happy their home circle: Ruby now aged 10, Raymond aged 8, Melvin aged 5, and baby Ethel, age 11 months. But although they prospered in their Canadian home, their hearts still clung to the United States and New Holstein in particular and it was their intention to sell out at the close of the war and return here. But alas! He was destined to return here sooner and in a way other than he or anyone else had either foreseen or anticipated. Mr. Hass was always of robust and vigorous health, and his untimely end is as unexpected as it is sad in the extreme. Mr. Hass was not only a hard working man and a good citizen, but he was also a fine type of a family man. Kind, indulgent, liberal, his was an ideal family life at all time. His home circle was to him not alone a place of rest and comfort after his arduous day's toil; but of companionship as well, and from it he drew inspiration for the renewed toil of the succeeding days. He loved sociability and the contact and companionship of his fellowmen and all too often the family missed these in the isolation of their pioneer frontier struggle. And this was one reason why they always desired to return to the more congenial surrounding of his former home. The remains were brought here for burial, his brother, Peter, and brother in law, Ferdinand Kreymann; having met the family at St. Paul on their way here. Funeral services will be at the New Holstein cemetery tomorrow, Saturday, afternoon at two o'clock. Besides his sadly bereaved family, his aged mother, Mrs. John Hass, four brothers: Peter and Fred of New Holstein, and Henry and William of Canada; and four sisters: Mrs. Herman Bartels, Mrs. Fred Engel, Mrs. Robert Greve and Miss Ella Hass, all residents of New Holstein, mourn his sad and untimely death.
