ST. PATRICK CATHOLIC CEMETERY OBITUARIES

LAWRENCE HAGGERTY

YOUNG HAGGERTY'S BODY FOUND
Mystery Surrounding the Maple Grove Man's Death.
WAS LOST FOR TWELVE MONTHS.
Body Recovered Above Marinette on River Bank.
THE FAMILY GET POSSESSION OF IT.
Haggerty Was Well Respected in This Community-Left a Farm and a Homestead.
Lawrence Haggerty of Maple Grove left home a year ago and not until last week 
was there any tidings of him, when his brother Michael received a letter from 
Marinette, saying that the body of Lawrence had been found on the drive of the 
Maine river. This was a shock to the family because his death was not anticipated. 
At present it is not known how the young man lost his life, whether by accident 
or foul play, but his body had been in the water a long time and decomposition 
had set in but had not gone sufficiently far to prevent identification.
In the young man's clothes were found articles which put the finders of the body 
on the track so that they were able to notify his relatives.
Michael Haggerty left for Marinette and will return with the body to Maple Grove, 
and there the funeral exercises will take place. Young Haggerty was only 25 years 
old, he owned a farm in Maple Grove and a homestead in Rhinelander. He was well 
respected in this community and he leaves behind six brothers and two sisters.

WILL BRING IT HOME
Body of Lawrence Haggerty to Be Interred at Maple Grove
Two brothers of Lawrence Haggerty, the Maple Grove man who was drowned at 
Marinette a year ago, are now in that city and will bring the body of the dead 
man back to the home of his childhood for interment. It will be remembered that 
the relatives of Haggerty did not hear of his decease until about a month ago 
when a letter that had been mysteriously delayed, reached Maple Grove, containing 
the news of the accident. The relatives are still searching for $400 and a life 
insurance policy in the Modern Woodmen, theft of which circumstances strongly 
point to. They were in a trunk that has not been seen and it is thought that some 
fellow lumberman had made way with the papers and cash.

Receives Bad Tidings
Michael Haggerty of Maple Grove received the news last week that his brother, 
John, who left for Marinette last year and has not been heard of since, was 
killed in a logging accident about 11 months ago and as his relatives could not 
be found his comrades had given him a Christian burial. Mr. Haggerty immediately 
left for Marinette where he now is. Sad to relate, it appears that money and 
valuables belonging to the decedent were stolen.

NELLIE HOLLERAN (sic) DIES YOUNG
Friend In Maple Grove Writes Very Sympathetically
OF THE DECEASED GIRL.
Had Been In Failing Health For Years.
WENT WEST FOR HEALTH
But Tuberculosis Had Fastened Its Fangs Upon Her and She Succumbed 
At Last.
The following obituary notice has been sent to The Pilot with the 
request that it be published:
At 8:20 o'clock Saturday evening July 19, the second coming of the 
angel of death to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Holloran (sic) of Grimms, 
was witnessed, taking in its grasp their beloved daughter, Nellie, 
aged 26 years.
For three years her health failed and about a year ago she left home 
to seek the benefit of the western climate, living in Colorado Springs, 
Colorado, until May last when she returned to be home.
At home she lingered fully conscious of, and patiently waiting the 
rapid approach of death, caused by tuberculosis..
Nellie Holloran was gifted with a lovable disposition that endeared 
her to all. She was a devoted daughter and sister, and a true friend 
to all who knew her. The esteem in which she was held by her many 
friends was truly proved by the throng of people, old and young, who, 
came to her home after her death in order to view for the last time 
her remains.
At ten o'clock on Monday the funeral consisting of 140 carriages 
reached St. Patrick's church, Maple Grove. The parish priest, Rev. 
Father Ryan, conducted the funeral service, after which he delivered 
a brief sermon on death, in which he paid a most touching tribute to 
the deceased. The funeral then proceeded to the cemetery and the 
remains of our young friend were soon laid beside those of her sister 
who died nine years ago at the age of 22.
The pall bearers were Willie Cummings, Patrick Cavanaugh, Godfrey 
Fetzer, Anthony Laughlin, Henry Meany and Michael O'Dea, all of whom 
are Catholic Forresters and intimate friends of the deceased.
Among the floral tributes were the following special one, a pillow 
with the emblem "Nellie" from Mrs. George, Mrs. Ray and Miss Cora 
Frosch, boquets (sic) from Mr. and Mrs. John Holloran and family, Mrs. 
Theo. Willard, Mrs. Louis P. Grimm and Mrs. Luella Palmer.
The deceased leaves her parents, three brothers, Michael, Hugh and 
John, and one sister Lizzie to mourn her loss.

HUGH HALLORAN    (d. 1910)

Notes From Grimms:
On Wednesday evening of last week Mr. Hugh Halloran, one of the early pioneer 
settlers of the county, passed away at his home here at the advanced age of 82 
years. Although he passed the four score mark deceased was in perfect health 
up to a few months ago when a cancerous growth developed and death came as a 
final summons to end his sufferings. Mr. Halloran was born in County Clare, 
Ireland, in the year 1828. Like many others of his countrymen he joined the 
immigration ship and came to America in the early '40's settling in Ohio.
In 1868 he was married in Steuberville, Ohio, to Miss Nora Burke of that place 
and they came to Wisconsin in the same year and have resided here continuously 
ever since. He was a kindhearted man and a friend among friends. During his 
illness he never complained of his sufferings, which were very intense, but 
waited patiently for the hour of his departure.
He is survived by his wife, and four children they being Hugh, Jr., on the old 
homestead, Michael of Monico Junction, John of Stanford, Mont., and Miss 
Elizabeth Halloran of this place. Two daughters preceded him in death some years 
ago.
The funeral was held on Saturday morning from St. Patrick's church at 10 o'clock. 
A solemn Requiem high mass was sung by Rev. Father MacDonald assisted by Father 
Kerstens of Meeme and Father Dedricks of Green Bay. The funeral cortege was one 
of the largest seen here for some time.
Among those who were here to attend the funeral were Michael Halloran and sister 
of Menominee; John Halloran, Mr. and Mrs. P. J. McCulley, and Henry Meany of 
Manitowoc.

was due to injuries which he sustained six weeks ago while engaged 
in cutting wood with a circular saw, Mr. Halloran having been struck 
in the head by a piece of flying wood. He was taken to the hospital 
and was apparently recovering and returned to his home and for three 
weeks remained here and was believed to be on the road to recovery 
when he suffered a relapse. He returned to the hospital a week ago 
and since that time had been failing until Tuesday morning when the 
end came.
Mr. Halloran was a native of Manitowoc County, born in Cato, Jan. 7, 
1874. He was married to Ann Marlborough, who with six children survive 
him, the oldest child being thirteen. Besides his wife and children,

DEATH COMES TO CO. PIONEER MRS. HALLORAN 
Early Day Resident of Cato Passes To Rest In City 
Mrs. Nora Halloran, widow of Hugh Halloran, Sr., died at her home, 628 North 
Ninth street, at 1 a.m. Sunday morning, death being due to infirmities incident

Mrs. Halloran, nee Burke, was born in Ireland eighty-two years ago and came to 
America at the age of twelve. For a time the family made their home at New York 
and later moved to Steubenville, Ohio, where she met Hugh Halloran and was married 
in 1868. Immediately following their marriage the couple came to Wisconsin and 
settled on a farm in the town of Cato and with the pioneers suffered all the 
hardship incident to wresting a home from the wilderness. Six children were born 
to them. The family continued to make its home on the old homestead until two 
years after the death of the father which occurred in 1940. Two years later, Mrs. 
Halloran turned the farm over to one of the sons and came to this city to take up 
her home. Of the family only two children now survive, John and Miss Elizabeth, 
both of whom make their home in this city.
The Halloran family will be remembered by all the older residents of the county 
and Mrs. Halloran through her helpfulness and sympathy for those in need gained 
for herself a wide circle of friends.
With the younger generation she was popular for her keen kindly wit and pleasing 
demeanor and news of her death will come as a shock.

*****
Notes From Maple Grove:
Mrs. James Hartnett of Franklin died last week at the home of her daughter 
Mrs. Thos. Sullivan. Mrs. Hartnett was eighty-four years of age and had lived 
in Franklin since 1853. She was another of those pioneer mothers who struggled 
with primeval conditions in endeavoring to establish a home in the wilderness. 
The history of the pioneers of this section of the county is one record of wonderful 
endurance, patient suffering and almost heroic persistence and this old lady 
possessed all the noble qualities that seem common to the early settlers. Moreover 
she was a woman of generous impulse and the tender care bestowed upon her six 
grandchildren who were early deprived of a mother's care-prove that the impulse 
ripened into action. These children were her solace and pride in her declining years. 
She will always have a place in their memory as a second mother, and the grief they 
feel should be somewhat alleviated by the thought that she lived long enough for them 
to prove their gratitude and love to her.

JOHN HAYDEN IS DEAD AT HOME IN GRIMMS
Well Known Farmer of County Dies After Illness of One Week
John Hayden, a well known and influential farmer of Grimms, died at 
his home there last night, a victim of pnenumonia (sic), after an 
illness of but one week. The funeral will be held at Maple Grove Friday 
morning.
Mr. Hayden was 52 years of age and was one of the best known residents 
of Grimms, where he had resided for many years. He contracted a cold a 
week ago and pneumonia developed and for several days his condition had 
been critical.
Besides a widow Mr. Hayden is survived by six children, Thomas, Bessie, 
Etta, Ruth, Blanche and Charles.

*********
On Tuesday evening of last week John Hayden, one of Manitowoc county's 
best known citizens, passed away at his home here after an illness of 
but a few days. A week previous to his death he contracted a cold which 
later developed into pneumonia. On Tuesday evening at 10:45, with all 
the members of his family present at his beside, his life's work was 
finished. The end came very peacefully.
Mr. Hayden was born in the town of Franklin in the year 1867 and was 4? 
years of age. At the age of 27 he was married to Ellen Fenton who 
together with a family of six children survive him. He conducted a farm 
in Franklin for a number of years when later he moved to Green Bay where 
he engaged in business. About nineteen years ago he came to Grimms where 
he engaged in farming and had resided here continously ever since.
Mr. Hayden's success in life was due to perseverance and hard work. This 
is plainly shown by the beautiful home and excellent set of farm buildings 
erected on his farm during the past two years, equipped with every ???? 
??? convenience. Although death ???? took him in the prime of life at a 
time when he was able to enjoy those years of toil and labor his work is 
indeed a credit to any community.
In the passing of John Hayden this vicinity loses one of its most respected 
citizens, a good neighbor, always willing to help a friend, a kind and 
indulgent father, an ideal man in every respect. His popularity and apprec-
iation for his deeds was shown by the beatiful (sic) floral designs and 
the concourse of people who assembled at his residence to offer assistance 
and sympathy to his family. He leaves a wife and six children to mourn his 
untimely departure, the children being Thomas, Bessie, Ella, Ruth, Blanche 
and Charles. Besides these ???? he is survived by one brother, Pat Hayden, 
of Milwaukee, and four sisters, Mrs. James Cleary, Mrs. Pat Roland and Mrs. 
M. Evans of Green Bay and Mrs. Charles Muench of Kellnersville.
The funeral was held on Friday morning from St. Patrick's church, Maple 
Grove. Rev. George Casey, pastor of the church, celebrated solemn high mass 
of requiem, assisted by Rev. Father Brown of Kellnersville and Rev. Father 
Koefer of Morrison. The Holy Name society and Catholic Order of Foresters,

JOHNIE HAYES

It is my sad duty to chronicle the death of Johnie Hayes of Franklin who died 
last Wednesday morning at the home of his mother. The deceased was a young man 
about 28 years old and was always strong and robust and apparently in good 
health until about three months ago when he began to fail. All that medical aid 
could do was of no avail to save him. He had a large circle of friends and all 
who knew him loved him for his kindness of disposition and gentleness of character. 
The funeral took place Friday morning from St. Patrick's church and was very 
largely attended. His mother, sisters and brothers have the sympathy of all.

*********
Notes from Maple Grove:
It is with the feeling of deepest regret and sadness that we chronicle the death 
of Mrs. Michl Hogan and infant child, which occurred at her home here on Thursday. 
The deceased had been sick but a few hours, her death being a shock to the entire 
community.
Mrs. Hogan was born August 31, 1885 in the Town of Franklin, this county. She was 
a young woman possessed of the true intincts of womanly character, esteemed and 
respected by all who knew her, an affectionate mother and a kind and devoted wife. 
She was a devout Catholic and her firm belief in the doctrine of the church was 
exemplified in her daily life.
She built her own monument amongst her many friends which was shown by the large 
concourse of people who escorted her to her final resting place. If, as one has 
said, each unselfish act and each little kindness that springs from a living heart 
will become a precious stone in our heavenly mansion, surely the one now occupied 
by this young mother must indeed be brilliant with many a gem.
She was a devoted wife and an affetionate mother and a true friend and the afflicted 
family have the sympathy of a large circle of friends.
Besides her husband, she is survived by two children, Aurelia, aged 5 and Michael, 
aged 3, an aged father, two brothers, Richard and James Rolland of here and Mrs. 
James Daley of Blue Earth, Minn., Mrs. Will McElroy of Chicago and Mrs. Mich Mullens 
of Antigo. The funeral was held Monday morning from St. Patrick's church, Rev. Casey 
officiating, assisted by Rev. Braun and Rev. Kufahl.
Mother darling, sweetly sleep
Your agony is o'er.
Your soft true eyes have closed at last,
Sharp pains you feel no more.
You've passed death's fatal gate,
Your weary soul is now with God,
And in a heavenly state.
But O, when ever we think of you,
Then we begin to weep.
You know that you were dear to us,
And that our love was deep.
Our recollections cling to you
Through all the years to be.
God leads our lives that we may meet
Mother, in eternity.
The following out of town relatives were in attendance at the funeral: Mr. and Mrs. 
Will McElroy, Mrs. Fred Englet, Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Logan, Chicago, Mrs. James Daley,

DANIEL HUSSEY

Notes From Maple Grove:
Daniel Hussey, a pioneer resident of this town, died Thursday, 
June 1. He was born in County Clare, Ireland, and was 89 years 
old at the time of his death. He came to Wisconsin in 1860 and 
in the fall of 1870 was married to Miss Winifred O'Neil who with 
a son John and a daughter Mrs. Anthony O'Laughlin of Clarks Mills 
survive. The funeral took place Saturday from St. Patrick's church, 
Maple Grove. He was a man of sterling qualities and held in esteem 
and respect by all who knew him.
Manitowoc Pilot  Thursday, June 8, 1911  pg. 8
********
Notes From Reedsville:
On Thursday afternoon, June 1, the Angel of Death appeared in our 
midst with the final summons for Mr. Daniel Hussey, one of the 
pioneer settlers of this vicinity. The decedent was born in Ireland 
80 years ago. In crossing the ocean his father died and was buried 
at sea and his mother lived only a short time after landing. The five 
brothers and one sister drifted apart. Mr. Hussey came to Wisconsin 
63 years ago settling on a farm in Franklin, Manitowoc county, later 
on moving to Maple Grove, where he undertook the task of making a 
home in the wilderness for his loved ones. He might have been classed 
among the most prosperous farmers in the county as he owned one of 
the most fertile farms. He is survived by his wife and two children, 
John on the old homestead and Mrs. Anthony Loughlin of Cato.
He took much interest in the welfare of his children. He was always 
welcome at every social and public gathering, being always social and 
jolly.
The cause of his demise was apoplexy. He died fortified by the last 
rites of the church and surrounded by his sorrowing family. The 
influence of his truly Christian character has always been felt not 
only in his home circle but in the community in which he lived. The 
esteem in which he was held was attested by the great cortege which 
wended its way to St. Patrick's Catholic church where impressive 
funeral services were held Saturday morning, June 3. A solemn requiem 
high mass was celebrated by Rev. McDonald assisted by two other priests, 
and all that was mortal of Mr. Hussey was laid to rest in Maple Grove 
cemetery.

JOHN HUSSEY

John Hussey, 72, pioneer resident of the town of Maple Grove, died Tuesday at 
his farm home following a heart attack. He was found dead in his bed yesterday 
afternoon by a neighbor, Brian Lorrigan, who investigated when he failed to 
notice any activity about the home where Hussey lived alone.
Coroner Theodore Teitgen was called and said death was due to a heart attack, 
fixing the time of death at 2 a.m. Tuesday. 
Funeral services will be conducted Friday morning at 9:30 at the St. Patrick 
Catholic church at Maple Grove by the Rev. Frank Schoettl and burial will be 
in the adjoining cemetery. The body is at the Watt funeral home and may be 
viewed there after four o'clock this afternoon. The rosary will be recited 
tonight and Thursday evening at 8:30.

married.
Survivors are one sister, Mrs. Sarah O'Laughlin of Cato.

Indians Assault Farmer
In a dispute over the amount due to them by John Hussey, a Maple Grove farmer, 
for cutting wood, two Oneida Indians, David Baird and Hyson Cornelius made a 
vicious assault upon Mr. Hussey and his aged mother Sunday evening. One of the 
braves had a knife and Hussey wielded a stove poker but was at a tremendous 
disadvantage against two drunken, irresponsible Indians and was quite severely 
battered and cut up. Mrs. Hussey, the mother aged 82, was felled to the floor 
three times. Cornelius was captured by neighbors and held for the sheriff but 
Baird escaped to the woods and swamps. A determined manhunt ensued which combed 
the neighboring territory Monday and Tuesday but the wily redskin eluded capture. 
The fugitive is said to have served penitentiary and jail sentences and to be a 
bad man especially when excited by liquor, which is whenever he can get it.
Mr. Hussey was not confined by his injuries but will have the marks of his 
encounter for along time. These Oneidas have been becoming more and more of a 
nuisance in the Maple Grove neighborhood for some time.

FIND ESCAPED INDIAN
Hyson Cornelius, an Indian apparently full blooded, is back in Manitowoc, but not 
by choice. This is an outline of the story. Cornelius was one of two Indians who 
perpetrated an aggravated assault upon a Maple Grove farmer about 2 years ago. 
His companion was never captured. He escaped from jail here and after serving a 
sentence at Milwaukee, he was returned to Manitowoc to serve out his unexpired 
term with an extra ten months for escaping. He made a second escape from the local 
jail on April 10, 1929. For nearly a year, the local authorities have been seeking 
him. Last Sunday District Attorney Fischer of Shawano county was visiting District 
Attorney Fischer of Manitowoc County and related how an Indian, describing him, had 
expressed extreme uncomplimentary opinions of both Fischers. The Manitowoc County 
Fischer said, "I guess that's the aborigine the sheriff has been missing for many 
months."  It was. Yesterday Sheriff Carstens was at the railway station to give Mr. 
Cornelius a proper welcome with Chief Deputy O'Leske arrived here with Herman's 
long lost friend. It was reported that the second escape is a felony and may mean 
a trip to the big house at Waupun for the slippery injun(sic).

The case of Hyson Cornelius, one of the two Indians who beat up John Hussey in 
the Town of Maple Grove four weeks ago was disposed of Saturday. The other "injun" 
made a clean get away despite posses that beat the woods and swamps. District 
Attorney Meyer consented to reducing the charge to assault and battery and on a 
plea of guilty the Oneida brave was doomed to the three months at hard labor. The 
adjective is unnecessary as any labor is hard for a redskin.

Indian Eludes Sheriff
A month or two ago two Oneida Indians made a vicious assault upon John Hussey of 
Maple Grove. One of them was not apprehended although posses beat the swamps and 
woods for several days. The other aborigine, Hyson Cornelius, aged 23, was 
sentenced to ninety days in jail for his share in the transaction. The sheriff sent 
him to work at the local cement plant. Last Thursday he did not report for work nor 
did he return to the jail in the evening. He had a pretty good start and the 
sheriff's office has been unable to find him. the Fennimore Coopers heroes and 
their kind who could trail redskins have all long since departed hence.
Manitowoc Pilot, Thurs., Oct. 6, 1928

********
Last Thursday about 6:30 two strangers called John Hussey, a Maple Grove farmer to the door. As he stepped out they set upon him and one attempted to strike Hussey with a revolver. He got the gun away from the assailant and managed to get inside the door which he slammed shut. In the melee he dropped the gun which one of the men outside picked up, broke a glass panel in the door within and fired into the house through the hole in the glass. The pair then fled to their automobile. The bullet fired into the house struck Mr. Hussey in the right leg. He was bleeding profusely. Having no telephone he kept on firing a shot gun until neighbors came to see what the trouble was. They summoned the sheriff and a physician. His wound is not serious. The best guess as to the cause for the attack is that it was believed that Hussey had a considerable sum of money on the premises. He is believed to be well-to-do and it might be surmised that he hasn't great faith in bans. In August, 1928, Hussey was badly beaten by two Indian farm laborers resulting in a famous manhunt for one of them through swamps and woods. One of them served time for the assault. Another guess was that this pair came back to take it out on Hussey.

He was born in Maple Grove but spent most of his life in the far west. Though he

wife and his brother Jerry of Nebraska, accompanied the remains to Maple Grove.

FOUND FREEZING WAS NEARLY DEAD
Found asleep still and in an unconscious condition three quarters of a mile 
from Maple Grove, Thomas Kirby, a resident of that section was rescued in the 
nick of time by Daniel Shehan. Kirby is now at the hospital and will recover.
Kirby was enroute afoot from Zahorik's to Maple Grove and had almost reached 
his destination but was overcome. That he had become dazed is brought out by 
the fact that he had removed his cap and mittens to make a pillow on which to 
rest when he laid down to sleep.

BRIDGET LEARY

DEATH CLAIMS MRS. D. LEARY, COUNTY PIONEER
Death came as a relief from suffering to Mrs. Bridget Leary, wife of Dan Leary. 
Mrs. Leary passed peacefully away at Holy Family hospital at 6:30 this morning, 
after having been a patient there for two weeks. An operation which was performed 
probably tended to lengthen her life a little, but did not restore her health, 
death being due to complications following.
Mrs. Leary, whose maiden name was Bridget Mullins, was born at Maple Grove Feb. 14, 
1858, being sixty-five years of age at the time of her death. November 7, 1888, she 
was married to Dan Leary, the couple locating on a farm at Maple Grove, and lived 
there until seven years ago, when Mr. Leary retired from farming and the family 
removed to Manitowoc.
Her husband and six children survive. They are Mrs. Helen Bergner; Mrs. Anna 
Jirikovic; Mrs. Margaret Koch; Mrs. Nora Bonin and Warren all of Manitowoc, and 
John who is on the homestead at Maple Grove. 
There are also three brothers, John Mullins of Newton, Brian Mullins of Cato and 
James Mullins of Green Bay and one sister, Mrs. John Foley of this city and seven 
grandchildren.
The body will be at the family home, 1311 Hamilton street, from Tuesday evening until 
Wednesday afternoon when it will be taken to Mrs. Leary's former home at Maple Grove. 
The funeral will be held at St. Patrick's church at Maple grove at 10 o'clock Friday 
morning, the Rev. George Casey to have charge of the service and burial will be at 
Maple Grove.
Always patient and thoughtful of others even while ill, Mrs. Leary's life was 
characterized by its unselfishness to her family as well as to friends and neighbors. 
Because of this, her death is being mourned not only by her family but by a large 
number of persons to whom she had endeared herself.

Notes from Reedsville:
Grandma Linnane, that dear old lady who came to this country when everything was 
a wilderness and made all the sacrifices that one coming when she did had to make, 
died at the John O'Neil home Sunday afternoon after a lingering illness. She knew 
the end was near but had no fears of leaving this world for a better home that 
had been prepared for her, for she had lived a good life and had no reason to fear 
the end.
She always wore a smile even until the very last. She was very keen and enjoyed a 
good joke. She was a very active woman all her life and in her younger days there 
were few who could keep up with her when she went on her walks and truly those 
pioneers knew what it was to walk.
She raised a large family of whom but four are left to mourn her passing, Joseph 
of Maple Grove, Dan of Wayside, Mike of Great Falls, Montana and Mrs. James O'Connor 
of Kaukauna. Her husband, Edward Linnane died some thirty-three years ago. The 
funeral held from St. Patrick's Church at Maple Grove of which she had been a life 
member. Even at her age she never used glasses for reading or for doing her needle 
work.
With her demise there has departed the type of mother that today is rare, because 
those mothers lived in a time different from the age in which we live today. It 
would be a blessing if all were as well prepared to take the last journey as she 
was. She has gone to a just reward and is now re-united with those of her family 
who have gone on before. She was born in Massachusetts on Christmas Day in 1846 
and came to Maple Grove in the early fifties with her parents.

Mr. Linnane is one of those young men for whom everybody has a good word. Coming to Montana from Maple Grove, Wis., in 1908, he arrived in Lewiston and later was employed to teach school near Glengary where he remained two terms coming to Stanford in 1910 and entering the employ of the Stanford Mercantile with which company he has since remained. He has filled several positions with his firm until recently having charge of the office work form which he went as manager of the grocery department.

PETER J. LINNANE

Death last week in a Milwaukee hospital following an appendix 
operation of Peter Linnane of Maple Grove. The deceased, who 
was 31, leaves a widow and 2 children. The funeral was held in 
Maple Grove.
Der Nord Westen, 25 May 1905
*********
Notes From Maple Grove.
On Thursday evening, May 11th, the sad news was received here that Pete Linnane 
of Milwaukee had been relieved from his sufferings and had gone to the land where 
pain and sorrow are unknown. The decedent was born in Maple Grove 31 years ago 
and resided here continuously since his birth, with the exception of a few years 
spent at the city schools, preparing himself for the profession of teaching in 
the public schools, which profession he followed for about 10 years. Two years 
ago he decided to embark in a new line of business and removed with his family 
to Milwaukee and entered into the employment of the St. Paul R.R. CO. as an 
office clerk in the general office. He held the place until 4 weeks ago, when 
he decided to enter into the mercantile business, and he, with his brother Pat. 
Linnane, opened up a large grocery store in East Milwaukee and, although it had 
been opened up but a short time, they had secured a very large patronage. The 
cause of his demise was an attack of appendicitis for which he was operated on 
in the city hospital on May 2. He rallied after the operation and was doing 
nicely when inflammation set in which soon ended Pete's short but marked career 
on earth. Besides taking a deep interest in the welfare of the public schools, 
he took an active part in all public affairs. In the spring of 1900 he was 
called on by his many friends to fill the trusted office of town clerk, which 
office he held until the spring of 1903, resigning on taking his departure for 
the Cream city. He is survived by his wife and two little boys, aged respectively 
2 and 4 years, besides his mother, one sister and five brothers; also a host of 
friends who sadly regret his untimely demise. The funeral was held Sunday from 
his mother's residence where his remains were brought to from Milwaukee on Friday 
evening under the management of the Catholic Order of Foresters, of which he was 
a beneficial member. Cato and Maple Grove Courts of Foresters turning out in a 
body. The funeral cortege was one of the largest ever seen at Maple Grove. The 
final divine services were conducted in the same church at Maple Grove where 
Pete was baptized and married. His remains are now sleeping the long, peaceful 
sleep in the family lot in Maple Grove cemetery. May the earth rest lightly on 
his clay.

MICHAEL LOGAN

ONE MAN WILL LOSE LEG AND ANOTHER MAY LOSE EYE AS RESULT 
OF INJURIES IN QUARRY BLAST
Two men may be maimed for life, if they recover from injuries which they 
suffered today in an explosion at the Grimms quarry of the Union Lime 
company, shortly before noon. The injured are: 
MICHAEL LOGAN, leg broken and bones splintered, back injured, may have 
been internally hurt. 
CHAUNCEY DEBAR, head badly cut and body bruised. One eye injured and sight 
may be lost. The two men were placing a blast at the quarry when in some 
manner the explosion occurred and they were unable to make their escape. 
One report is that the men struck a previous blast that had been placed 
in the ground and being unaware of it, were caught by the explosion. 
Another report is that the blast was one which the men were placing and 
that the explosion was premature. The explosion was terrific and the two 
men were hurled a considerable distance and were picked up unconscious by 
fellow laborers a short time later. Logan was the most seriously injured, 
the bones of the leg being splintered and the man suffering from other 
injuries which it is said may make his recovery doubtful. Dr. Kelley of 
Cato and Dr. Cary of Reedsville were summoned and hurried to the scene 
and gave attention to the injured men. Later at 1 o'clock today, the two 
men were brought to this city and removed to the hospital in the police 
ambulance. Both men are said to be married and to have been employed by 
the Union Lime company time. It was said this afternoon that it would be 
necessary to amputate one of Logan's legs. The man's hip was shattered. 
He is 45 years and unmarried.

Debar, 2nd Man Hurt, Will Survive but Will Lose Eye
Michael Logan, one of the two men injured in a blast at the quarries 
of the Union Lime company at Grimms Friday, died at the hospital in 
the city today, from injuries and the shock of the accident. The body 
will be taken to Grimms and will be buried Wednesday from St. Patrick's 
church at Maple Grove. 
Mr. Logan had his hip and leg shattered by the explosion which occurred 
Friday morning while he was at work in the quarry. He was brought to the 
hospital Friday noon and was not thought to have been fatally injured 
though physicians said that if the man survived it would be necessary 
to amputate one leg. His condition, however, made it dangerous to operate 
and Logan's condition became worse and he died today. The dead man had 
been a resident of the county all his life and had been employed at the 
quarries for years. Several years ago he was injured in a similar accident 
but escaped death and returned to his work. Mr. Logan was 61 years of age 
and unmarried. He was well known at Grimms and in that neighborhood. He is 
survived by three brothers and three sisters, five residing in the county,

in 1853 where she had resided ever since. He husband was called to his eternal

The gloomy pall of sadness
O'er hangs our country home, For death's unfailing messenger
Again alas' hath come,
The direful tidings bearing, 
That another dear kind heart
Must ever cease its beating-
Must receive the fatal dart.
Though with pious resignation
We accept God's holy will
Our souls with sorrow seem surcharged,
Our hearts are heavy still.
Far, far from her childhood's home
She lies with death's cold smile;
Far from the old historic valley
Of the dear old Emerald Isle.
Farewell dear loving mother
They are bearing thee away
To the lone and silent city
Of the dead, this Springtime day;
Where Zephyrs softly stealing,
At eve they dirge shall sing
And kiss the flowers above thy grave,
And hail each early spring.
And we thy children left behind
The spring shall also woo
The coming spring when Heaven shall open
Its portals to us too
And call us home where thou art gone
To ever live with thee
And God and all His blessed ones
Throughout eternity.

JAMES LONG    (d. 1894)

James Long of Franklin was so seriously injured by being thrown from his wagon 
while on his way home from the city on Tuesday last, that he died on Thursday. 
The accident occurred between Cato and Grimms. A peculiar features of the 
accident was that he lay near the side of the road from Tuesday until Thursday 
and was not discovered. The terrific heat of these days did as much to end his 
life as the fall did. He lived only a short while after having been brought 
home on Thursday evening.

********
An accident which may prove to have been fatal occurred on the M.L.S. & W. Railroad last Monday afternoon. As the construction train going west was rounding the curve near Grimms station, a car loaded with wheat standing on the track near the depot was started down the sharp grade by a gust of wind and although the engineer, Mr. Pat Long, saw it coming and reversed his engine, a collison could not be averted. Just before the car struck the locomotive, Mr. Long jumped to the ground and in falling struck upon hishead in such a manner as to produce injuries which his physician think may prove fatal. The conductor also sprang to the ground but escaped with very slight injuries. The front end of the engine was bruised up considerably while the wheat car was turned “end for end” and completely demolished. The car was standing on the side track we believe, at the time it started and how the brakes were loosened, or by whom, is as yet a mystery. No blame can be attached to the officer of the road, as the accident was the result of malice or mischief on the part of the persoon who loosened the brake. It is hoped the guilty one may be apprehended and made an example of.

BRYAN S. LORIGAN    (d. 1895)

From the Files of the Pilot - Twenty-Five Years Ago - (1895)
B. S. Lorrigan died at his home in Franklin on Thursday, October 31, 
at the age of 71. He was born in Limerick, Ireland in 1824 and came 
to this country with his wife in 1851. He remained for a year in New 
York and then came to Manitowoc where he entered the service of Platt 
and Vilas. Later he purchased a farm in Franklin which is today one 
of the finest in the county.
When the county board consisted of three commissioners, Mr. Lorrigan 
was one of them and served for some years. He was a member of the 
legislature in 1874-75, during the celebrated senatorial contest in 
which Cameron defeated the gifted Matt Carpenter. Mr. Lorrigan was one 
of the democrats who boldly defied the behests of the caucuses and cast 
his vote for Matt Carpenter. His action was approved by his constituents. 
He was also the democratic nominee for sheriff but was defeated.
Mr. Lorrigan was a man of large native ability, shrewd and farseeing. 
His was a strong personality which would have made itself felt in any 
community. He was kind hearted, withal and generous to a fault. Until 
age made him seek a more quiet life, he was active in almost every 
public enterprise.
The funeral was held on Saturday. Services were conducted by his brother, 
Rev. E. P. Lorrigan of Laneck, with Rev. W. Kramer of Reedsville as 
deacon, Father Kabat as subdeacon and the pastor, Rev T. J. Casey as 
master of ceremonies.

(The following is the brother of Bryan S. Lorigan):
DIED
Was a Faithful Pastor.
Rev. Edward P. Lorigan, a former pastor of St. Stephen's church in ths 
city, and the churches at Lanark, Almond and Custer, died suddenly of 
heart failure at his home at Hillman City, Wash., a suburb of Seattle, 
Tuesday night, Nov 24. Father Lorigan had not been in good health for 
a long time, having been confined to his bed in a hospital for several 
months during the early summer, but of late was much improved and able 
to look after his duties as pastor of St. Edward's church. In fact he 
was able to attend a lecture that evening given by Rev. Thos. E. Sherman, 
son of the late Gen. Sherman, and was stricken soon after returning home.
Father Lorigan was a native of County Limerick, Ireland, born in 1840, 
and was the eighth son in the family. He came to America when a boy and 
lived in Philadelphia and Pittsburg for several years, thereafter entering 
St. Vincent's College, Westmoreland County, Penn., where he remained four 
years and during the next few years studied in St. Thomas seminary near 
Bardstown, Ky., and St. Francis seminary, Milwaukee. He left the latter 
institution on account of illness and spent one year in his native land. 
Returning to the United States he resumed his studies at the Jesuit 
seminary at Spring Hill, Ala., where he was ordained June 24, 1866. His 
first charge was at Huntsville, Ala., where he remained four years, going 
from there to Mobile for three years, and for the following three years 
was an assistant at the cathedral in Milwaukee. He then went to Chilton, 
where he remained until he came to Stevens Point in October, 1889. Two 
years later he gave up his charge here on account of throat trouble, and 
spent some time in California. After his return he was stationed at Lebanon, 
Waupaca county, and thereafter at Lanark and Custer, in this county. Three 
years ago Father Lorigan went west, where he was doing an excellent work, 
having built a fine church at Hillman City. He was a kind hearted man, an 
indefatigable worker in the cause of christianity and temperance, and the 
world is better for his having lived.
The funeral took place on the Saturday following his death, with solemn 
ceremonies, a number of priests assisting therein, and interment took place 
to Calvary cemetery, Seattle-Stevens Point Gazette.
The Manitowoc Pilot, December 17, 1908
********
We regretted to hear of the death of Rev. Father Lorigan which occurred 
recently at Hillman, Washington. Decedent was well known in this vicinity, 
as he frequently visited these parts being a brother to the late lamented

HANNAH LORIGAN

Mrs. Hannah Lorigan, died Monday at the home of her son, E.M. Lorigan at 512 
South Twenty-Seventh Street after a long illness. Mrs. Lorigan was sixty-two 
years of age and lived in the Town of Maple Grove until the death of her 
husband, Michael Lorigan thirty years ago after which she went back to teaching 
and for many years taught school in the county. She lived with her son and came 
to this city with the family a year ago. Surviving her are the son, two 
grandchildren and one brother, Edward T. McCarthy of Kellnersvile. The funeral 
was held Wednesday morning from St. Paul's Catholic Church. Interment at Maple 
Grove.

MARGARET LORIGAN

Died - at her home in Maple Grove, Mrs. B. S. Lorrigan.
Mrs. Lorigan was a lovely person, ennobled with many rare traits of character. 
Her memory will linger long and fondly with those who had the pleasure of forming 
her acquaintance. Like many more of her Celtic race in Maple Grove, she was a 
typical landmark of Catholicity. The old pioneers, who in days gone by stripped 
the forests of their lordly grandeur and left a home to posterity, may well be 
worthy of emulation; but greater for on account of the beautiful Christian 
principles underling the daily routine of their lives. It is safe to say that at 
least in the past some have departed and it would really take two or more of the 
present generation to form a Christian character like the venerable and hoary 
remains we sometimes inter in our cemeteries.
Mrs. Lorigan, as the preacher, Father Lorigan, appropriately said, was descended 
from pious parents. Her brothers and sisters were very devout. To those who knew 
her she will be remembered as an enviable mother and it is no wonder her children 
prided in her. Truly a good mother is a happy thought. Taking her all in all it 
will be a long time until we will look on her like again. She was not only 
instrumental in urging the paternal uncle of her children, Rev. P. Lorigan of 
Lemark, Wis., in following out his priestly vocation, but also gave to the service 
of the altar, her beloved son, Rev. Bartholemew, whom it leased the Grat Melchis??? 
to call to himself ere the Holy Oils of Consecration were dry in his hands. His 
body awaits the resurrection in the church at Maple Grove. Perhaps God in his wisdom 
snatched him away lest the world and its vanities would corrupt his pure soul.
The services were conducted by the pastor, T. J. Ryan, assisted by Fathers Lorigan, 
of Lemark and ?? of Reedsville. Mrs. Lorigan is survived by one son, Daniel and four 
daughters, Mrs. J. P. Watt, of Maple Grove, and Mrs. Michael Watt of Grimms, and the 
Misses Helen and Josephine.

FATHER (BARTHOLEMEW) LORRIGAN

Father Lorrigan of Maple Grove died on Thursday evening of last week. Early 
in the winter, shortly after his ordination, he was taken with hemorrhage
of the lungs which was eventually the cause of his death. Too close application 
to his studies was the cause of his trouble. He was a young man of great promise 
and was well prepared for his work as a clergyman by a thorough education. He 
was a son of Hon. Brian Lorrigan.

CHAS. LORRIGAN

Reedsville Reporter: Chas. Lorrigan, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Lorrigan 
of Maple Grove was taken ill with appendicitis last week, but at first 
his condition was not considered serious. He was taken to St. Vincent's 
hospital, Green Bay, Saturday for operation dying there Sunday morning. 
His body was brought to Grimms Monday on noon train and buried at Maple 
Grove. Rev. Father Casey performed the burial rites of the Catholic 
church. 
The boy was a student at Reedsville High school, a member of the ninth 
grade, studious and well liked by all his schoolmates who regret his 
early death.

Maple Grove news:
Charles Lorigan, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Lorigan, aged about seventeen 
years, passed to the Great Beyond at 10 o'clock Sunday morning. Charles 
suffered a severe attack of appendicitis a week ago and under the advice 
of physicians was taken to Green Bay hospital on Saturday where he died 
before an operation could be performed. The news of his death was heard 
with sorrow, and expression of sympathy for the bereaved family were many. 
The silver cord is loosed, the golden bowl is broken, the dust has returned 
to the earth as it was, the spirit has returned to the God who gave it. The 
filial son and brother has finished his course and reached the heavenly 
goal while yet an infant in the race of life. Only the memory of the dear 
boy is left, yet how sweet, how uplifting its influence. For, after all, 
death is but the passing off of the outer body. In the springtime of life, 
ere the sunshine of hope and joy were extinguished he passed to his reward. 
He was a student at the Reedsville High school having finished the Eighth 
grade here last June with high honors and was one who had won a place in 
the hearts of his teachers and fellow students. The four teachers of the 
Reedsville high school with the students attended the funeral Wednesday 
in a body. The many beautiful floral offerings showed the high esteem in 
which he was held.

RICHARD J. LORRIGAN

Believe Maple Grove Sailor Drowns
Richard Lorrigan Missing After Swim in Hempton's Lake 
Richard Lorrigan, 20, carpenter's mate third class, USN, visiting his parents' 
home in Maple Grove on leave after participating in several major battles in 
the southwest Pacific, is believed to have drowned late Friday afternoon while 
swimming alone in Hempton's lake a few miles from his home.
Searching parties continued to drag the lake today after a boat, with Lorrigan's 
clothing, was found adrift in the lake.
Lorrigan's sister, (private), is believed to have been the last person to see 
him. He called at her home, which is about a half mile from the lake in the 
northern end of Cato saying he wanted to go for a swim. 
He drove away shortly after 2 o'clock in the Schambureck automobile and secured 
a rowboat, also owned by the Schaumbureck family, at the lake.
Organize Searching Party
When Lorrigan did not return from the lake after a couple of hours a searching 
party was formed and the empty boat, with the sailor's clothing on the seat, was 
found. The Schambureck car was parked on the nearby shore. Lorrigan was known to 
be a good swimmer and before he went into the service, often went swimming at 
Hempton's lake.
The parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Lorrigan, were also notified and joined in the 
search. Lorrigan had returned home two weeks ago after leaving his ship, the USS 
Alnitah, an ammunition transport, in San Francisco.
A call to Sheriff Arthur Truttschel at 5:30 p.m. Friday brought three deputy 
sheriffs, John Ellerman, Edward Keip and Otto Lohse. They dragged the lake until 
10 p.m. without success. Coroner Theodor Teitgen, who 
(Continued on Page 2, Col. 5) 
BELIEVE SAILOR DROWNS FRIDAY (Continued from Page 1)
was summoned, ordered operations ceased because it was too dark to operate. 
Continue Dragging Today
This morning four dragging parties, including the Two Rivers coast guard resumed 
operations but met with no success up until late afternoon. 
Lorrigan, a twin, was born May 20, 1925, on his parents' farm at Maple Grove. He 
attended the St. Patrick parochial school, and after his graduation from eighth 
grade entered Lincoln high school in Manitowoc. He also attended the vocational 
school. He enlisted in the navy shortly before he became 18 years of age. 
He received his boot training at Farragut, Idaho, and immediately shipped out on 
the ammunition transport, USS Alnitah. Lorrigan had been granted a 30-day leave 
on his arrival in San Francisco and had orders to report back in Chicago at the 
expiration of his leave. 
He is survived by his parents; his twin brother, Charles, seaman first class, a 
crew member aboard the hospital ship USS Tranquility now in Japan; another brother, 
(private); five sisters, (private).
He was a member of St. Patrick's Catholic church at Maple Grove.

Body of Maple Grove Sailor Found Sunday 
The body of Richard Lorrigan, 20-year-old Maple Grove sailor who drowned in 
Hempton's lake in Cato late Friday afternoon, was recovered by searchers Sunday 
morning.
It was found about 125 feet from shore in 20 feet of water by two members of the 
Two Rivers coast guard, G.M. #/c R. W. Hayes and Seaman I/C Jacob Kuitert?. All 
Saturday and early Sunday six boats equipped with drag hooks patrolled the lake 
in search of the body. 
In addition a plane from the municipal airport circled the lake several times and 
then landed in a nearby field. The fliers reported seeing objects on the lake 
bottom but search disclosed that what they saw were large stones.
Body of the Lorrigan youth was taken to the Watt funeral home in Maple Grove and 
late this afternoon was moved to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Lorrigan, the 
parents.
The rosary will be recited at 8:30 p.m. today and at the same time again Tuesday 
at the home in Maple Grove.
Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Wednesday at St. Patrick's Catholic church 
in Maple Grove, the Rev. Francis Schoettl officiating. Burial will be in the church 
cemetery.
The navy men stationed at the submarine base here will act as honorary pallbearers 
for a military funeral.
Efforts are being made to contact Richard Lorrigan's twin brother, Charles, who is 
stationed in the Pacific at the present time.

FAIL TO LOCATE SON TO ATTEND MOTHER'S BURIAL
Because he left no address when he moved from his former residence 
at Milwaukee recently, Thomas Goggin, former Reedsville man has not 
been informed of the death of his mother, Mrs. Margaret Lovern, of 
Reedsville, and was unable to be at the funeral held at Maple Grove 
today. Milwaukee police were asked Saturday to assist in locating 
Mr. Goggin and notices of the search were placed in Milwaukee papers 
but failed to bring response. A letter written by Mr. Goggin to his 
mother recently could not be found when search was made after her 
death.

GOGGINS HOME BUT IS TOO LATE FOR FUNERAL 
Tom Goggins, for whom a three day search was made at Milwaukee when his mother 
Mrs. Lovern passed away at Reedsville, came home last night, but too late to 
attend the funeral, Mrs. Lovern having been buried at Maple Grove in the morning. 
Mr. Goggins visited the little church yard burial place today before his return 
to Milwaukee where he is located.
Mr. Goggins said that he had changed his boarding place Saturday, the day the 
message announcing the death of his mother was dispatched to him at Milwaukee. 
He had been busy getting settled Saturday afternoon, when he did not work, and 
Sunday had remained in his room most of the day and had not read the papers which 
contained announcement of the search being made to locate him. Monday morning 
when he went to his work a fellow workman told him of the search and Mr. Goggins 
immediately secured leave of absence and hastened to..(remainder of article cannot

MARY LYNCH

Died - 
In Franklin on Monday, June 29th, after a painful and lingering illness of 
over three months, Mrs. Thomas Lynch. Mrs. Lynch was born in Ireland coming 
to this country in her early youth. She married twice, leaving one daughter 
by her first and a family of five by her second husband to mourn her loss.
She was an honest and upright woman, a kind mother and faithful wife. Mrs. 
Lynch was taken ill in March, but medical skill failed to find the real cause 
of her ailment, when at last the reaper "whose name is death", cut her from 
amongst the living. Cut away in the noon of her life and taken away from this 
world of grief and care to dwell in her eternal home. The roses of earth, the 
green grass and weeping willow may grown o'er her grave but she has grown 
until at last she reached that heaven beyond this Jordan.

THOMAS LYNCH

The man named Lynch who is down with the small-pox in Milwaukee and who has 
it in a dangerous form is a son of Tom Lynch of Franklin.
The funeral procession to Meeme yesterday was steadily augmented while en 
route and was quite a lengthy one when the cemetery was reached.
