MICHAEL MANGIN (d. 1902) DEATH TOOK YOUNG HUSBAND Michael Mangin, Well Known Maple Grove Man, Is Dead Death claimed Michael Mangin, a well known and popular young man of Maple Grove Thursday and a bride of less than two months is made a widow. Thanksgiving day was the date of the marriage and a very short time after the young man was stricken. He suffered from rheumatism which subsequently affected his heart and death came suddenly. Deceased was the son of Paul Mangin, one of the prosperous and widely known residents of the county and was 30 years of age. His demise is sincerely mourned by a large circle of friends whose sympathy goes out to the bereaved wife who has been widowed in her honeymoon. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Friday, January 17, 1902, Page 1 ******* MAPLE GROVE: There is only one who can divorce man and wife, lawfully married in the Catholic church, his name is Death. But two months ago, Father Ryan blessed the nuptials of Bridget Sheehy and Michael Mangin. On Tuesday he blessed her husband's grave. This is the sad termination of a happy marriage and a married life of two short months. Perhaps it is better so. We have not here a lasting home, but seek one to come. Stricken down in his manhood, his sudden demise surprised even a disciple of Aesculapius, who is a most conscientious doctor; and the sympathetic nerve of every young wife in the county will twitch in unison with the sorrowing soul of the young and beautiful wife who will not be consoled. For his was a form indeed where every god did seem to set his seal to give to the world the assurance of a man." The funeral was held Saturday from St. Patrick's church Maple Grove and the last sad tributes paid to the departed. The funeral train was the longest ever witnessed here, composed of over one hundred and fifty teams. The sorrowing wife and friends have our heartfelt sympathy. ******** Mr. and Mrs. Mich.

CATHERINE MCCARTHY MCCARTY, KATHARINE On Thurs. afternoon in Town Kossuth the dwelling of Mrs. Katharine McCarty burned to the ground. The 70 yr. old lady had been alone in the house while her son traveled to Manitowoc, and the fire occurred while he was on his way back. When he was unable to find his mother, he made a search of the ruins and found her body in the glowing embers. How the fire started and why the lady was in the embers is unknown, but it is surmised that the old lady had gone back into the burning house to get some belongings when she was overcome. The unfortunate lady was one of the oldest residents in the neighborhood. Der Nord Westen, 07 Oct. 1897 ********* Mrs. McCarty (sic) of Kossuth lost her life on Thursday last by the burning of her home. She was an old lady, mother of J.C. and Tim McCarty, and lived with the latter, the two being the only inmates of the house. On Thursday Tim came to Manitowoc, leaving his mother the only occupant of the house. The building caught fire about mid-day. A neighbor named Witt went to the house and succeeded in saving a little furniture, but did not see Mrs. McCarty, so the presumption is that she was finally aroused and attempted to escape from the burning building is evidenced by the fact that her charred remains were found near the outer door. The old lady was possessed of considerable money. She was known to have $800 in gold and it is supposed she had bank bills and promissory notes. A large chunk of gold which had melted and run into a solid mass was found in the ruins. It will be sent to the mint for recoinage. The amount of money in bills which she had is not known. Mrs. McCarty was 72 years old and partially blind. This latter fact made it difficult for her to escape. Her sons are well known throughout the county.

MICHAEL MCCORT (d. 1884) MCCOURT ESTATE IS SETTLED Been in Probate Court for Seventeen Years A WEARISOME SUIT IS ENDED How Property is Divided Among the Heirs THERE WERE MANY COMPLICATIONS Trial Agreement was Reached in the Probate Court at Last Tuesday's Session After seventeen years of litigation the estate of Michael McCourt, who before he died resided at Grimms, was settled in Probate court on Tuesday last. When Mr. McCourt died the estate was placed in the hands of the late law firm of Schmitz & Kirwan, and after the dissolution of the law partnership and the elevation Judge Kirwan to the Circuit court bench the case was transferred to Attorney Richard Burke. Since the estate was thrown into the Probate court the widow and a son of Michael McCourt died, and this tended to complicate the situation. An eighty acre farm was involved, valued at $5,000 and the settlement is as follows: To the daughters Ellen and Sarah Ann goes the homestead and ten acres of land; another daughter gets $100; Chas. McCourt receives $1,200 and the balance is taken by Michael McCourt, Jr. which is 60 acres of land. Manitowoc Pilot, Wis., Thursday, October 31, 1901 pg. 1 ***** (First publication Dec. 11, 1884.)

JOHN MEEHAN CATO FARMER DIES ON STREET AT KAUKAUNA John Meehan Stricken on Way to Green Bay Hospital On his way to Green Bay to receive treatment at the hospital from which he had been discharged only recently, John Meehan, a well known farmer of Cato, died suddenly on the streets at Kaukauna this morning. Death was due to heart failure. The body will be taken to Cato tonight. Mr. Meehan was 56 years of age and unmarried. He had recently suffered a severe illness and had been a patient at a Green Bay hospital but returned to Cato a few weeks ago and had been making weekly visits to Green Bay for treatment. At the time of his death Mr. Meehan was accompanied by the man who managed his farm, a mile from Cato. Manitowoc Daily Herald, December 23, 1913 ******* VALUABLE FARM AS GIFT STIRS CATO The death of John Meehan of Cato, reported last week, has developed a curious situation. Mr. Meehan, who was a bachelor, aged 56 has been an invalid for some time. Early in November he gave to the tenant of his farm, William Launbrecht, a deed to the farm and title to the farm personally in consideration of an agreement to support the grantor for life and pay the grantor's nearest living relative, Miss Reddin, of Cato, a niece, $?000 upon the grantor's death. The farm is just outside the village of Cato. Meehan survived this transaction less than six weeks. Thus his property, conservatively valued at $18,000, will go to one not related to him upon the payment of $1000. Meehan had no relatives of nearer kin than nieces and cousins. Although he had not been intimate with these relatives there had been no ill-will or family feud between them. The farm is further pledged upon the bond of Wm. Reddin, one of the defendants convicted in the great labor union dynamite case in the federal court at Indianapolis. There are some rumors at Cato of an intention to contest Launbrecht's possession in court but nothing authoritative has been made public. Real Estate John G. Meehan to William J. Launbrecht, 104.24 in section 4 Cato and 36 A in section 33 Franklin, $16,000. The Manitowoc Pilot, January 4, 1914

Manitowoc Daily Herald, Thursday, September 06, 1917, Page 4 ******* The many friends of Mrs. Joseph Morrissey were shocked to hear of her sudden death. Mrs. Morrissey was one of the few remaining early pioneers, residing here. Her funeral was held at St. Patrick's church Thursday, Rev. Geo. Casey officiated. The pallbearers were: Mich. Doolan, Dan Falvey-now of Manitowoc, James Shehesta, Sr., Thos. Savage of Manitowoc and Thomas Fenlon. She is survived by three sons, two daughters and one brother. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Thursday, September 13, 1917, Page 5 ******* DEATH OF MRS. JOS. MORRISSEY Mrs. Joseph Morrissey died at the home in Franklin, Manitowoc County, on Monday evening, September third, after an illness of ten days in the eighty-first year of her age. The deceased was born at Volcartier, Province of Quebec, Canada, November thirteenth, 1836. In 1846 she came with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Gough, by boat from Quebec to Port Washington and thence to a farm in the Town of Saukville, Ozaukee County. Here she attended district school, besides taking her full share in the arduous trials that fell to the young people of those pioneer days. On September tenth, 1888, she was married to Jos Morrissey at Saukville and came to Franklin, Manitowoc County in October of same year, settling on the farm upon which she lived until her death. Of this union were born eleven children, six of whom with her husband, have preceded her in death. She is survived by five children, Thomas of Franklin, Mrs. Jeremiah Frawley of Port Washington, Gough of Chilton, Mrs. Charles Hintz of Reedsville and Laurence of Franklin. She also leaves fourteen grandchildren and one great grandchild. One brother, Thomas Gough of Milwaukee survives her. Putting the childhood experiences of those who have reached or passed middle life together with the stories of toil, of trials and privation, still told by the few of that noble advance guard of early settlers, who here and there still survive, like the harder portions of rock in an eroded region, one can reconstruct a picture of the life of sixty years ago and be the better enabled to form a just estimate of the type of men and women whose iron constitution, patience, perserverance, fortitude, faith and self denial laid the foundations of the prosperity, happiness and plenty which so abide with us today. Of all the splendid type of men and women whose names and lives are associated with the settlement and development of Franklin and Maple Grove, the name and life of Mrs. Jos Morrissey will be held in grateful and affectionate remembrance. Always a friend and ardent supporter of the public school system, she early took a deep and abiding interest in the progress of her district school and for a quarter of a century used her influence in securing the services of a number of able and efficient teachers, whose lives stamped upon the community characteristics which are among the most valuable assets of that community life today. Endowed with a vigorous constitution and perfect health, she was a tireless worker, even in her later years. Helpful and sympathetic at all times, both within and without her home, her exhaustless energy seemed to be constantly paid out in unselfish service to others. Her center thought was the welfare of her own family and to the realization of this thought she dedicated her life. Generous to a fault, her charity was limited only by her ability to give. Nothing outside of serving her own family gave her as much pleasure as to share with the needy the food and shelter of her own home. Always interested in public questions, she kept herself well informed upon current topics. In her early years she formed a taste for good reading and throughout her life she found recreation in good literature especially poetry, from which she was in the habit of quoting literally from time to time. If wealth is measured only in terms of the world's goods, her rewards were small, indeed, when compared with the sacrifices which she made. If wealth may include the joys of unselfish service to others and the happy reflections consequent upon a well spent life, then her life has been blessed with wealth overflowing, rich, abounding and eternal. Her monument will be the affectionate remembrance in which the memory of her life will be held by the people of the community among whom she lived so long. The funeral was held on Thursday, Sept. 6, from St. Patrick's church, Maple Grove, of which she was a member, Rev. Geo Casey officiating. The following relatives from outside were in attendance at the funeral: Mr. and Mrs. Jeremiah Frawley, Miss Dora Frawley of Port Washington, Arthur and Edmund Frawley, Mills City, Montana, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Gough, James Finnegan, Milwaukee, Mr. and Mrs. Gough Morrissey, Chilton, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Falvey, Mr. Thomas Savage of Manitowoc.

She leaves to mourn her untimely demise a daughter, Mrs. Martin Mangin of Grimms; two sons, John of Milwaukee, and Tom of Chicago; also a sister, Mrs. Frank Gehbe of Manitowoc, and a brother, John Kenney, of Iowa.

On Thursday, a prominent young farmer died at his home, as the result of an accident which befell him on Tuesday evening, July 10, while he was unloading hay in his barn, using a double hay fork. As he was pulling down the forks to the load, one of them became unhitched and dropped down, one of the tines entering his right side just above the front of the hip, making a wound which resulted in his death. He, without assistance, extracted the fork from his side and went immediately to his house. Medical aid was summoned, but all efforts failed to save him from the grasp of death. The decedent was an exemplary young man, always jolly, accommodating and unassuming. He was born here 35 years ago and worked on his father's large farm continuously until 6 years ago, when he was married to a Miss Brennan of Lark, Brown Co., and when he went to live on his own farm, where he continued to reside until his final summons came. He leaves a broken-hearted wife and a boy three years old to mourn the loss of a kind and loving husband and father. He will be sadly mourned by his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. James Morrissey, and by seven sisters and four brothers. His memory will be cherished by hosts of friends, as he knew no enemies. The funeral was held Saturday from St. Patrick's church, Rev. G. J. O'Connell, assisted by Revs. A. Rhode of Morrison and P. Herb of Whitelaw, performing the last sad rites before the casket was lowered to the decedent's final resting place in the cemetery. Rev. G. J. O'Connell paid a touching tribute to the deceased in a few brief remarks. Branch No. 108 C.K. of Wisconsin, of which order the deceased was a member, turned out in a body to pay their last respects to their departed brother. He is now sleeping that long peaceful sleep which, on earth, knows no waking, and all his cares and toils are o'er. May the earth rest lightly upon his clay. The Manitowoc Pilot, July 19, 1906

Brillion News, Fri., Nov. 2, 1900THOMAS MORRISSEY (d. 1919) Death of Thomas B. Morrissey Thomas B. Morrissey died of cancer of the stomach at St. Vincent's hospital, Green Bay, Tuesday, Aug. 5. The deceased was born August 26, 1859 in the Town of Franklin and was unmarried. He was educated in the common school of his own district and at the Oshkosh Normal School which he attended after completing the country school. Between the years 1879 and 1890 he taught school in Manitowoc and Washington Counties. Since retiring from teaching he lived continuously on the old homestead in Franklin. The announcement of his death came as a shock to his community where he was held an esteemed and respected citizen. He was a man of inflexible honesty and high moral character. Hypocrisy and deceit were unknown in his life. He valued the internal qualifications of men. He held fast to the genuine and was little influenced by the external artificialities and surface show of life that so often make it difficult to distinguish reality from appearance. Always disposed to throw the mantle of charity over the faults and weaknesses of others, he lived the principles of christianity in his daily associations with his fellow men. He believed that there was something good in every man and he sought to see and to cherish that good at all times. Those nearest to him know how cheerfully he could forget himself, that the trials of life might be made easier for others. His recreations were mainly of a literary nature. He read widely and had a retentive memory. His reading was of the informational type along the lines of history and the general progress of current literature. He was deeply interested in every step looking towards more efficiently in government and was a true type of the independent voter. He served as school district clerk for twelve years. The funeral was held at Maple Grove Friday, August 8. Those from outside in attendance were: Mr. Thos Gough, Mrs. George Schafer, Mr. and Mrs. John Finnegan and daughter, Mrs. James Finnegan of Milwaukee, Mr. Daniel Falvey, Mr. Thos Savage of Manitowoc; G.

JAMES MULLANE James Mullane of Franklin, died quite suddenly on Sunday April 12. It is thought that an attack of the prevailing influenza brought on hemorrhage of the lungs from which he died. Mr. Mullane was one of the early settlers of Franklin, a man of the most generous impulses, thoroughly devoted to his friends and with a record of honesty which any man might envy. He was school clerk for many years of the district in which he lived and labored unceasingly for the advancement of the public school. Though a man of positive convictions he had no enemies as no one doubted his sincerity. James Mullane was a good citizen and his loss will be seriously felt in the community in which he lived.

She had been an invalid for the last few months and her friends were prepared for the sad result. Mrs. Murphy was born in County Clare, Ireland, in 1820 and was married in 1846. Immediately after in company with her husband she came to America. She has been a resident of Cato for the last 35 years. She raised a family of nine children, M.H. Murphy of this city and John Murphy of Cato both well khown (sic) in this section of the state are her sons. Mrs. Murphy was a woman of sterling character and rare kindness of heart.

JOHN F. MURPHY (d. 1945) 3 Manitowoc County Soldiers Reported Dead Two Manitowoc county soldiers, reported missing in action in the Philippines three years ago have now been officially listed as dead. They are: Pvt. Gardy J. Havlichek, 25, of Branch. Pvt. John Francis Murphy, 19, of Grimms. Another county man was also reported killed on Okinawa, in a message to the parents from the war department. He is Cpl. Sylvester R. Koerner, 23, of route 1, Cato. The three additional deaths reported today brings the number of Manitowoc soldiers killed in World War II to 156. Dies of Illness John Murphy, Sr., former Grimms tavern operator, now living at 1148 Doty street, Green Bay, received the telegram yesterday from the War Department that his son, John Francis, 19, who enlisted in the U.S. army February 26, 1940, had died of illness July 11, 1942. He had been erroneously reported "missing in action" since 1942. The message made it plain that Private Murph6y had died of illness and not from wounds. The Grimms soldier enlisted at Green Bay five years ago, while still a senior at Reedsville high school. He received his training in California and was attached to the 131 division when sent to Manila. He was stationed there at the time of the outbreak of the Japanese war and it is presumed that he was on Corregidor when it fell to the Japs. Evidently he died while a prisoner of the Japs. Last September the parents received word their son had been turned over to Germany by the Japs. Now it develops this story was in error, as the Grimms soldier was confused with another John Murphy. Born at Oconto in 1923, Private Murphy accompanied his parents when they located at Grimms. He is survived by his parents, three brothers (private); four sisters (private). A memorial mass will be offered for Private Murphy at St. Patrick's Catholic church, Maple Grove, Thursday morning, July 5.

The funeral was very largely attended. Rev. O'Connell of Maple Grove officiated. He was assisted by Rev. Ryan of DePere and Rev. O'Leary of this city. The cause of Mr. Murphy's death was a stroke of paralysis, which he suffered several weeks ago. It was thought that he would recover; for, after the first attack and up to the day before the final summons came, his condition had been steadily improving. But Tuesday morning, Nov. 28, he suffered another attack, and, as stated, he breathed his last on the evening of that day. He had attained the age of seventy-nine years two months two days, having been born in the county of Claire, Ireland, Sept. 26, 1826. He came to America in 1849, locating in Ohio for a short time and then removing to the town of Cato, this county. In the following year he returned to Ohio and, after remaining there for several months, came back to Cato and settled on a farm, where he continued to reside for over half a century and until his days on earth ended. His wife died seventeen years ago. Mr. Murphy was a successful farmer. He was well and favorably known in the city and county. He was often honored by his fellow citizens by election to town offices. In 1865 he was elected to represent this county in the state assembly, and he was re-elected in 1866, thus serving two terms in the legislature. He leaves six children to mourn his departure.

He had been in poor health for some months and had been confined to the house for several weeks with pleurisy. Mr. Murphy's parents came from County Clare, Ireland, settling in Cato in the early 50's. Michael, the father was one of the leading citizens of the northwest section of the county in the early days and served in the Wisconsin Assembly. Peter was born August 7, 1860 on the farm where he lived and died. He was never a politician or office seeker but a farmer all his days and a good one. But he was in continuous demand for school and town offices. He served as a school district officer for years and finally accepted the chairmanship of Cato. When on the County Board he served on the Court House committee. Although it is only 10 years ago, and four of the committee were comparitively young men, he survived them all.

He refused to run again last fall. Like his father, he was a staunch Democrat. He is survived by his widow and sons, James, Joseph and Leo. Also by brothers, M. H. and John of this city and William and Jerry of Minneapolis and a sister, Mrs. Mary Brennan of this city. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus, Catholic Order of Foresters and Woodmen.

J.D. NATE J.D. NATE IS STRICKEN AT HOME, FRANKLIN Well Known Resident of County a Victim of Heart Failure J.D. Nate, one of the best known residents of Manitowoc county, and a prominent farmer of Franklin, died suddenly Sunday morning from heart failure. Mr. Nate was engaged in dressing and was stricken while lacing his shoe and died almost instantly. Mr. Nate was a native of New York state, born there April 24, 1848. He came here with his parents in 1853 and spent his boyhood here, the Indians being his playmates. He spent some time in employ of the Northwestern as a carpenter and later returned to the farm which he has conducted for years. Mr. Nate was well known as a breeder of cattle, horses and hogs. A widow, three sons, George, Charles and Archie, of Franklin, and two daughters, Mrs. John McCarty, Cato, and Miss Catherine of Franklin, survive. One sister, Mrs. H. Jackson also survives, Calumet road. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Monday, May 8, 1916 P.8 ********* Preparatory to beginning his early morning work and while in the act of lacing his shoes, Mr. J. D. Nate, for sixty-three years a resident of the Town of Franklin, this county, was called to the Great Beyond on Sunday morning, May 7, 1916, about five o'clock without a moment's warning to himself or to the members of his family. So suddenly and so unexpectedly did the final summons come that it is almost impossible for his family or friends to realize that he is gone from our midst; for on the day previous, he was away from home on business and rose early on Sunday morning apparently in the best of health. Mr. Nate was born in Jefferson Co., New York in 1848 and in 1853 with his parents, migrated to the present home in Franklin where by hard labor and frugal habits, he, in time, became the owner of three large farms and a cheese factory besides being interested in the best of farm animals. In 1886 he was married to Miss Catherine Duggan and to this union six children were born, all of whom are living excepting one son who passed away in infancy. Those living are his two daughters, Mrs. John McCarthy of Clarks Mills and Eleanor and three sons, George, Charles and Archie, besides two sisters and two brothers. He was a devout member of St. Patrick's Catholic Church at Maple Grove, ever ready and among the first, if not the first, to assist when requests for financial help or labor, necessary for church benefits, came. He was one of the early settlers of the town, that sturdy band who braved the hardships of pioneer days and who one by one, are fast being called to their rewards, until today but few of whom remain to recount the privations and trials of early days. God's ways are mysterious to all of us, yet when His final summons come it is ours to obey no matter how void the home, or how lonely and heartbroken the loved ones left behind. His will, not ours be done. In the passing away of Mr. Nate, the parish loses one of its best men, the community, one of its most active members, his neighbors, a kind friend. While the loss to his home can never be filled, still we console ourselves with the fact that it is a solace to know we are separated from our loved ones for but a short time and we find comfort in the belief that we shall meet our loved ones in bliss in the world to come where partings are unknown and where sin and suffering cannot enter. "We know not where his cloud lands. Lift their fronded palms in air, We only know, we cannot drift, Beyond his watchful cure." The burial took place from St.Patrick's Catholic Church at Maple Grove on Wednesday, May 10, solemn high mass being read by Rev. Geo. Casey, pastor, assisted b y Rev. R. H. MacDonald of Peshtigo and Rev. Braun of Francis Creek. Interment was in the adjoining cemetery. Peace be to his soul. Manitowoc Pilot, Thurs., May 18, 1916

JOHN E. NOLAN EX-PRESIDENT OF REEDSVILLE VILLAGE DIES John Nolan, Reedsville postmaster, ex-president of the village, and one of the most prominent men of the county, died at a Green Bay hospital yesterday at the age of 64. Death was due to complications from an illness of several months. He had been a patient at Green Bay for six weeks. For sixteen years Mr. Nolan was town clerk of Maple Grove and after removing to Reedsville he served as village clerk for a number of years and was for six years village president. Later he was named postmaster and filed his resignation on December 5 last but had not been relieved of his duties at the time of his demise. Mr. Nolan for years was engaged in business as a stock buyer and was widely known in the county. Mr. Nolan's wife died several years ago. He is survived by one brother, James Nolan, of Milwaukee, and by two sisters, Mrs. Patrick O'Brien of Colorado and Mrs. A. Finegan of Minnesota. Mr. Nolan was a prominent leader in democratic politics in the county. The body was brought to Reedsville today and funeral services will be held at Maple Grove, his old home, on Wednesday at 9 o'clock. Manitowoc Herald News, January 3, 1922 P. 8 ******** Notes from Reedsville: John E. Nolan, for the past seven years postmaster here, answered his final summons Monday morning at St. Vincent's hospital at Green Bay, where he had been a patient about six weeks. Born and raised in the Town of Maple Grove, he attended the country school and later the Oshkosh Normal. After teaching for a few years he engaged in the cattle buying business and has been in same business ever since. While still living in Maple Grove, he held the town clerk and that of treasurer. Coming to Reedsville some eighteen years ago, he was elected Village clerk and later elected President which office he held his appointment here as postmaster. Failing health compelled him to hand in his resignation December 15, but same had not been acted upon. It can truthfully be said that no one ever lost through any dealings with John and he had more friends than any other person around here, he was everybody's friend. He was a very charitable man but often only the recipients knew of his deeds. He ws Venerable Consul of the M.W.A., who attended the funeral in a body as did the Catholic Knights of which he was secretary. The village flag was put at half mast when his death became known. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. He was 64 years old and is survived by a brother and two sisters. The funeral Wednesday was held from St. Mary's church with burial at Maple Grove. His life was gentle and the elements so mixed in him that nature might stand up and say to all the world, "He was a Man!" Manitowoc Pilot, Thurs., Jan. 12, 1922 ********* Notes from Maple Grove: It has become my sad duty to chronicle the death of one of my dearly beloved friends and old school teacher that taught me my ABCs away back in the early 80's., John E. Nolan, who passed away at St. Vincent's Hospital, Green Bay, on Monday morning, January 2, 1822, after a sickness of about six weeks general breakdown. Mr. Nolan was about 64 years at the time of his death. He was a member of the Modern Woodman of America and the Catholic Knights of Wisconsin and both societies attended the funeral in a body, which took place on Wednesday morning. Services were held at St. Mary's Church, Reedsville. A requiem mass was said by Reverends Decker and Casy and Gaerthous. Then the remains were taken to St. Patricks cemetery at Maple Grove and laid to rest by the side of his wife who preceded him to that heavenly abode (where John is sure to go) some 30 years ago. The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful, expressing the high esteem in which he was held by people of Reedsville and vicinity. John had been a live stock buyer and shipper for 40 years in this vicinity and had dealings with thousands of people in that tie and never a one ever said he ever got beat. He was known by every one as an honest man in all his dealings. He held the office of town treasurer in Maple Grove for 18 years without opposition and didn't resign until two years after he took up his residence in Reedsville and he paid up more than a dozen men's taxes himself when they were short of money and waited for it. He was President of Reedsville for about six years, was postmaster until he resigned on account of poor health on December 5, 1921. He was always a life long democrat and was a power in politics, not only of those loud politicians, but he would go about quietly and had a nice way of gaining votes when there were very small chances for a democrat in this congressional district. The late J. H. Davidson had a formidable hold here. John and myself and Billie Link got out and took off our coats and silently worked for M.K. Reilly of Fond du Lac and he beat Davidson and Reilly didn't forget him after his election either. He gave him the Reedsville post office although there were many other applicants. He is survived by his brother, J. P. Nolan of Racine; two sisters, Mrs. P. W. O'Brien of Colo., and Mrs. Mary Finnegan, Minnesota and about twenty nieces and nephews. None of his relatives are living around here. The pallbearers were Pat Cahill, William Kirby, Joe Krizenesky, Mike Hogan, Joe Zahorik and Charlie Bunsh. St. Mary's Church was crowded with people of all different religions and faiths, even the reverends of other churches of different religions, all paying their respect at the last sad rites of their beloved friend, John E. Nolan. Manitowoc Pilot, Thurs., Jan. 12, 1922 ********* (The following obituary is for Bridget Nolan O'Brien, the sister of John Nolan) Dead At her home at Fairplay, Colo., June 12, 1923, Mrs. P.W. O'Brien. Deceased was the wife of P. W. O'Brien, judge of the probate court of Park County, Colorado and sister of late John E. Nolan of Reedsville, Wis., and J.P. Nolan of Racine, Wis., and Mrs. Mary Finnegan of Mankato, Minn. Her maiden name was Bridget A. Nolan. She was born in Cedarburg, Wis., November, 1853 and in 1858 she removed with her family to Maple Grove, Manitowoc County where she grew to womanhood. At that early date there was little or no educational facilities in that locality, but with the aid of her father, who was himself a teacher and one of those old Irish scholars that did so much for the advancement of education in the early days of Wisconsin, she quickly acquired a knowledge of the common branches and when school was opened in that vicinity, she advanced rapidly in her studies. At the age of fifteen years, she secured a teacher's certificate entitling her to teach in the common schools. She taught for a time in the schools of Manitowoc, Brown and Calumet counties and it was while teaching at Woodville, Calumet county that she first met P. W. O'Brien, her future husband, they being both young at the time their marriage did not take place for some years afterward. Mrs. O'Brien went west and settled in Nebraska and she attended the state normal school at Oshkosh. After leaving the normal school she became a prominent and successful teacher at Oconto, Wis. In 1883 her future husband returned to claim his bride and on February 8, they were married at the Catholic Church in Oconto. They immediately left for the West and settled in their new home at North Platte, Neb., where they resided for some time and later moved to Cozad,Nebraska but her young husband was ambitious and believed greater opportunities lay further to the west. They moved to Cripple Creek, Colo., where they remained for a short time and finally moved to Fairplay, Colo., where they have since made their home. Twenty-two years ago her husband was elected Judge of the probate court which position he has held continuously up to the present time. It was in this frontier settlement that the desirable qualities of Mrs. O'Brien were fully displayed. Her early training and kind and sympathetic nature fitted her for the service that must be rendered by someone in a new community, if suffering and sorrow are to be alleviated. She was ready and willing for the task. It mattered not where, whether in the lowly cabin of the poor or the comfortable dwelling of the most prosperous, she was there when trouble was there, many times at her side a faithful husband, taking the place of both physician and nurse. Nationality, creed or color had no place in her works of charity and never with a thought of remuneration, other than the thought of relieving suffering humanity. She was a true and faithful Christian woman, a strong and devoted Catholic beloved and revered by all the community where she resided. She leaves to mourn her untimely death, her bereaved husband, one brother, J.P. Nolan of Racine, Wis., and one sister, Mrs. Mary Finnegan of Mankato, Minn., many relatives and a multitude of sorrowing friends for no death ever occurred in that community where so great a manifestation of sorrow was displayed. Her mortal remains were brought for burial to Cozad, Nebraska where the funeral took place from the home of her husband's brother, Michael O'Brien, then to the Catholic church where solemn high mass was celebrated and her remains laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery at Willow Island.

MAURICE NOONAN Maurice Noonan died on Monday evening. His death and the last years of his life were rather pathetic. Being among the early settlers of Cato, he encountered the difficulties of pioneer days and overcame them, carving out for himself a home and being considered at one time a well-to-do farmer. He met reverses in fortune however and died without money or property, among strangers. Many who knew him in his prosperous days speak well of him, as a hospitable, thrifty farmer and a friend to those in need. He seems to have been largely the victim of circumstances over which he had not control. The remains were interred at Maple Grove.

DANIEL O'BRIEN Death Saturday in the local Holy Family Hospital of Peter O'Brien(sic), about 76, from strange circumstances. O'Brien had worked in the hospital for about a year. Several days before his death he left the hospital but returned several hours later during his regular hours. Shortly afterward he began feeling badly and the Sisters examined him and found that he had a deep head wound. O'Brien said that he had fallen, but the doctors said the wound could not have been caused by a fall but rather a blow with a blunt instrument. O'Brien refused to divulge the cause of his wound and took his silence to the grave. The deceased had come from Grimms to work at the hospital where he was employed for six years. His wife and 9 children live in Grimms and his body was sent there for burial. Der Nord Westen, 10 Jan. 1907 ******** (This appears the newspaper got the name wrong and this should be for Daniel.

On Wednesday morning he rose in good health, ate breakfast and went to work. At ten o'clock he was taken suddenly sick with a fit of vomiting, as the the day advanced he grew worse, medical aid was summoned and Drs. O'Connell and Pritchard responded to the call but just as they reached his bedside, at three o'clock, he passed to his eternal home. Mr. O'Brien was born in Ireland and came to this country in his early youth. He spent a few years in "the East" and afterwards came west and settled in Franklin. He married, reared a large family, seven of whom still survive him to mourn his loss. He was an honest man, a hard worker, a friend to all. As a workman few men ever came west who could do more.

His funeral took place today at Maple Grove. His entire family have the deepest sympathy of their many friends. 'His soul has winged its flight, to the regions of light. His corpse reclines on its bier As his family passes by the tomb. Where his ashes consume They will moisten their dust with a tear." Manitowoc Lake Shore Times, Tues., June 2, 1885 page 3

MARTIN O'BRIEN WELL KNOWN MAPLE GROVE FARMER FOUND DEAD AT ROAD SIDE, VICTIM OF ACCIDENT Martin O'Brien, a well known Maple Grove farmer prominent as a stock raiser and owner of a large farm, was found dead on the road one half mile from his home yesterday morning, a victim of a runaway accident. District attorney Brady, who was notified, decided that no inquest was necessary, circumstances establishing the death as due to accident. Mr. O'Brien had been thrown from his buggy when it was overturned at a sharp curve in the road, one half mile from his house. The unfortunate man fell upon his face and all indications were that he had been killed instantly, there being no evidence that the body had moved after striking the roadway. The dead body was found by employees of Mr. O'Brien who made search when the horse returned to the farm early yesterday morning without the buggy or owner. Mr. O'Brien had been at Wayside and was on his way home at the time of the accident. In being thrown from the buggy, Mr. O'Brien fell upon his face, and death is thought to have resulted from injury to the brain or temple. The horse had dragged the buggy several rods and then breaking free, had made its way back home. Employees heard the animal and when Mr. O'Brien did not appear at the house, started an investigation. Mr. O'Brien was 41 years of age and unmarried. He owned his farm and was prosperous. He was known in his section as a breeder of hogs and was popular in the community where he resided. Two brothers and two sisters survive Mr. O'Brien, whose funeral will be held at Maple Grove. Manitowoc Herald News, Wednesday, October 16, 1918, Page 1

As Michael O'Brien Jr. was returning home from Reedsville, the dash-board of his wagon-box fell out and struck the horses' heels and they immediately started to run. Mr. O'Brien was accompanied by his mother who managed to fall out of the wagon before they ran far, and although she received some slight injuries was not seriously hurt. But Mick being one of those desperados that was to form a band to kill the Ford boys, as a display of his intrepidity, held the reins for over a mile of road when he brought the horses to a stand-still. No serious damage done. Manitowoc Lake Shore Times, Tuesday, June 13, 1882 P. 4 ******** MURDER AT MAPLE GROVE MICHAEL O'BRIEN of Maple Grove shot and killed James Fielding near the home of the former's father on Saturday evening last, 4 P.M. O'Brien is undoubtedly insane on the idea that there existed a conspiracy to murder him and that Fielding was engaged in it. He is a powerful man, aged 32 and for the last few years has fallen into melancholy moods. He seems to have been haunted by the belief that his life was sought and a group of men conversing together generally attracted his suspicion. He was not a frequenter of saloons, but occasionally took a glass of wine. On such occasions he always sought to get a sample to test it, feeling suspicious that it was poisoned. When at a party his suspicions were always on the alert. He was sane on every other point and as he was not violent, no attempt was made to sequestrate him. The unwisdom of this course is now apparent. O'Brien, some time ago, purchased a Winchester rifle. He practiced shooting in a wood near his father's farm with such assiduity that he became a dead shot. The trees where he practiced are riddled with bullets. His rifle was his inseparable companion and at night he placed it under his pillow. His suspicions were keenly aroused last week by the frequent consultations of the farmers in that section regarding the survey of a road which was to be opened. County surveyor Pitz was to go out there on Friday last to make the survey but was prevented from doing so because of some business he had before the county board. It is the belief that had he gone and had the farmers assembled, a wholesale slaughter would have resulted. Some believe that the failure of Pitz to arrive was what convinced O'Brien that the survey was only a blind and that the real purpose of assemblage was to kill him. He has said that while walking home with a party, the plot to shoot him was frustrated by his keeping one of the party on the opposite side of him. These suspicions led to a most acute state of feeling. His suspicions were mainly ill-directed against ten persons of whom Fielding was one. Mrs. Fielding, the murdered man's mother, (Fielding was only 26 years old) was visiting in Chicago. During her absence Mrs. O'Brien, Michael's mother, baked bread for the Fielding family. On Saturday afternoon Fielding called at the O'Brien home for a batch of bread. While he was there, Keehan, the road overseer also called to order the men out to work and engaged in conversation with Fielding. This was observed by O'Brien who was outside and he evidently thought the crisis had arrived. When Fielding left for home he started to cut across lots. O'Brien was in the orchard standing under an apple tree. He fired at Fielding; the bullet crashed through his brain and after passing out on the other side, penetrated the bread and passed through the hand with which he was supporting the bread on his shoulder. Two other bullets were fired into the prostrate body, and then leaping the fence which separated them to get at closer range, two more bullets were fired. The body was shot to a pulp in many places. He then entered the house. To his sister's anguished exclamation "My God, Michael, what have you done?" he replied, "he would have killed me if I had not shot him." His sister advised that he give himself up to some constable but he said he would only surrender to the sheriff and asked that he be sent for. Later he changed his mind and resolved to escape. His mother furnished him $15 and he left. In that section of Maple Grove there is an almost impenetrable swamp covering a large area. O'Brien took to this swamp. Armed as he was, desperate and a dead shot, with the knowledge that he had practically declared a vendetta against nine other persons, the feeling of terror aroused may be better imagined than described. The house was closely watched by officers as it was thought O'Brien might return to it during the night. Unless he chose to surrender it was known he could not be captured except with loss of life. He had with him, besides his rifle, two sticks of dynamite. On Sunday the people who attended church at Maple Grove discussed the murder with bated breath and in detached groups. There was a general feeling that a rifle shot might ring out at any minute. The large swamp lies between O'Brien's home and the church. Everyone who could secure firearms was armed. There was not a gun in the eastern part of Maple Grove where the people felt comparatively safe, which had not been borrowed by those whose proximity to the scene of murder made them feel they were threatened by danger. The intense feeling of impending danger was crystallizing into a desperate resolve to meet it by violence. There was a suspicion that O'Brien was concealed in his father's house and there were mutterings of a combined attack upon it, to burn it if necessary. Some of the more conservative fearing an outbreak, telegraphed to Manitowoc for assistance. O'Brien did not remain in the swamp. He made his way out of it, passed southward until he reached Potters, a station on the Wisconsin Central near the Calumet county line. There was a ball there and he appeared in the midst of the crowd with his rifle. He asked for a room and was given one. There was some suspicion he was a refugee and some steps were taken to restrain him, but he escaped through the window. On Sunday morning he wrote a telegram to Sheriff Muth, telling him where he was and stating he would await him there and give himself up. He gave this to some wayfarer to give to the operator, but the latter thought it was a hoax and refused to send it. The excursion train over the Wisconsin Central on Sunday morning alarmed O'Brien. He thought it was a crowd in search of him. He quit Potters and set out for Appleton where he arrived at 8 o'clock Sunday night and gave himself up to the police. He was quiet until they attempted to take his gun away and then his immense strength was put forth in resistance. Two officers were unable to handle him. He tore the club from the hands of one of the officers and knocked him insensible with a blow. He was finally conquered, but not until he was beaten into insensibility. He is very cool in jail, converses easily and without excitement. He gave up the $15 to Sheriff Muth and one stick of dynamite. He says he threw the other stick away at Potters. People in that section should institute a search for the missing dynamite as it is a dangerous thing to have lying around loose. O'Brien received a good common school education. He has a brother who is a railway conductor on a train running out from Chicago. He never had any trouble with the man he shot. All the O'Briens stand well in popular estimation and are particularly noted for their personal neatness. James Fielding was a young man of high character, industrious and honest. There is great sorrow in the community over his tragic and untimely death. O'Brien shot one of his father's horses on Friday, but says in explanation that the horse was old enough to die. It is said that when his father remonstrated with him for his opposition to the assembling of the neighbors regarding the survey, he replied he ought to shoot him. He was arraigned in Judge Craite's court on Tuesday, Nash & Nash appearing for him. The examination was postponed until today. The case will not be tried at this term of court. Manitowoc Pilot, June 3, 1897 P. 3 ********* MICHAEL O'BRIEN charged with the murder of Fielding, was brought before Justice Craite for examination on Thursday last. He waived examination and was held to trial in the circuit court. Manitowoc Pilot, July 29, 1897 P. 4 ********* The people of Maple Grove in the neighborhood where Fielding was killed by O'Brien, are again almost in a state of panic because of the possibility of O'Brien's being declared insane and being free to return after a time. His threats cause alarm and with good cause. A large number of Maple Grove people were in the city on Monday making inquiries as to what means of protection they have. It is, indeed, a singular situation for which there is no precedent. Manitowoc Pilot, December 30, 1897 P. 2 ******** THE O'BRIEN MURDER TRIAL The trial of Michael O'Brien for the murder of James Fielding in the Town of Maple Grove was commenced in the Circuit Court at Manitowoc last Monday afternoon. There was some difficulty in securing a jury. The jury was finally secured and the case opened Tuesday morning. The prisoner is defended by Nash & Nash, who will attempt to prove O'Brien's insanity. The fact of the killing is not denied, but his attorneys claim that he is insane. A large number of witnesses were examined and expert testimony as to O'Brien's mental condition was taken. The taking of testimony was completed yesterday. It was thought that the case would go to the jury yesterday evening and it was freely predicted that the jury would disagree. The case has attracted a great deal of attention and considerable interest is manifested in the outcome of the jury's deliberations. Brillion News, Fri., Jan. 21, 1898 ********** The O'Brien murder trail came to close last Friday morning when the jury brought in a verdict that the prisoner was insane and could not be held for murder. The evidence in the trail pointed strongly to O'Brien's insanity and the verdict of the jury did not cause much surprise. O'Brien will be committed to the asylum at Oshkosh. Brillion News, Fri., Jan. 28, 1898 ******** O'BRIEN SENT BACK INCURABLE Return of Maple Grove Man to County Asylum Recalls Murder of 11 Years Ago Pronounced incurable, Michael J. O'Brien, a Maple Grove man, who has been an inmate of the Northern Hospital for Insane at Oshkosh for eleven years past, has been returned to the county asylum in this city to be cared for. O'Brien, who was committed to the Oshkosh Asylum at the age of 29 in 1897 is now 40 years old but his appearance is that of a man of much greater age and he has failed rapidly of late say asylum officials. O'Brien's return here recalls the Fielding murder, a crime of which he was accused at the time he was committed to the Oshkosh asylum. The crime was perpetrated in Maple Grove, where James Fielding, the victim, resided, a bachelor. Fielding had visited O'Brien's home to secure bread and after leaving there, is said to have been followed by O'Brien who is alleged to have shot him while crossing a field. O'Brien was found to be insane when arrested on the charge and was committed to the asylum where he has since been cared for.

O'Brien of Knoxville, Tenn., arrived at Grimms, accompanied by numerous relatives and friends, and was taken to the home of his sister, Mrs. E. Welch and from there to Maple Grove on Thursday, where the funeral took place, Rev. O'Connell officiating. Mr. O'Brien's body was laid to rest by the grave of his father who preceded him one year ago. Mr. O'Brien was well and favorably known throughout the county although he has not made his home here for a number of years. He was married in 1893 to Miss Julia Day of Knoxville, Tenn., and since then has made his home at Knoxville, where his wife died Aug. 23, 1903. Deceased was 46 years of age. He leaves an aged mother, four brothers and four sisters to mourn his sudden and untimely death. They are: Mrs. J.D. Coughlin, Mrs. J. Klauk, Miss Annie, Daniel, Ed, and James of Chicago, and Mrs. E. Welch and John of Grimms; also numerous other relatives, friends and neighbors with whom he was a general favorite. His was a kind sympathetic disposition and he generally made friends of all with whom he came in contact. So we offer our sympathy and the consolation of Heaven to his aged mother, brothers and sisters who hope to meet him in a better land. The following taken from the Daily Journal and Tribune of Knoxville tells the manner in which Mr. O'Brien met his death: HOW O'BRIEN MET DEATH. "Mrs. W. C. Kelly, of this city, received a special delivery letter Friday night from her husband containing details of the circumstances of the death of P.M. O'Brien of Knoxville, near Bluefield, W. Va., on Friday afternoon. Mr. Kelly was with Mr. O'Brien at the time the latter met death and also experienced a narrow escape from injury and possibly death. The two men were walking along the Norfolk and Western between Bluefield and North Fork, W. Va., and were about a half mile west of the latter place when the accident occurred. The Road at this particular point is double tracked and on the track on which the two were walking appeared a long freight train. They stepped on the opposite track to watch the train pass. At the rear of the train was a very large engine used as a pusher and the two men were intently watching it and did not notice the approach of a passenger train on the track on which they were standing until it was very near. There was a deep cut and a considerable curve very near them and the passenger train rounded the curve and through the cut and was within a few feet of them and was within a few feet of them before they noticed it, the pusher engine making so much noise that they did not hear the approach of the passenger when the latter was almost on them, someone observed their danger and yelled. Mr. Kelly was somewhat lame and was leaning on O'Brien's arm but without hesitation he cleared the track. Mr. O'Brien started at the same time but appeared to become bewildered and turning, started to jump the other way. The moment of hesitation cost him his life for he was struck and knocked a distance of several feet. Mr. Kelly was brushed by the engine but escaped unhurt. When he reached the side of O'Brien the latter was gasping and died an instant later. An undertaker was called from Bluefield and the body dressed and on Friday an inquest was held afer which Mr. Kelley left for Knoxville accompanying the body. Mrs. Kelly received a telegram from East Radford, Va., about six o'clock Friday night stating that he was enroute to Knoxville with the body and expects to arrive early Saturday morning. The funeral arrangements have not been announced. Mr. O'Brien was a member of Eagles and the local aerie will assume charge of the disposition of the remains, arranging the funeral after the arrival of the body this morning. The Manitowoc Pilot, February 13, 1908 ******** Notes From Grimms: News was received here on Feb. 1st that Patrick O'Brien, a former resident of this place, was killed while crossing the tracks at Knoxville, Tennessee.

The decedent was born in Ireland 75 years ago and came to Maple Grove with his parents 55 years ago, when he undertook the great task of making a home in the wilderness. He might well have been classed among the most prosperous farmers of Manitowoc Co., owning one of the largest and most fertile farms in the county. He took much interest in the welfare of his children, furnishing each of his four sons with comfortable homes. He was always welcomed to every social and public gathering, being always sociable and jolly. He took much interest in political and public affairs, although he never aspired to any public office. He took much interest in the welfare of the public schools, having received a good education in the land of his birth. The cause of his demise was heart trouble, from which he had suffered much pain for the past 6 months. He was a very popular man and won the esteem of all with whom he came in contact during his life. He is survived by two daughters and four sons. The daughters are Mrs. John Sheehy and Miss Maggie O'Connell. The sons are Mike H., Bryan, Morgan and James, all living in this vicinity. His wife preceded him in the passage to the land beyond the skies, by ten years. The funeral was held Sunday from the residence, and the large concourse of people that turned out to pay the last respects to the deceased showed the great esteem in which he had been held. The funeral services were held in St. Patrick's Catholic Church of which he always was a strict member, and all that was mortal of Mr. O'Connell was laid to rest in Maple Grove cemetery. Messrs. Dan and Matt O'Neil of Green Bay attended Mr. O'Connell's funeral here Sunday and spent a few days visiting friends. The Hon. Mike Flaherty of Stark attended the funeral at Maple Grove Sunday.

MARTIN AND ELIZABETH O'NEIL (d. 1951) Martin O'Neil, Wife Victims After Explosion Their Daughter and Three Sons burned; Fix Loss at $15,000 An elderly couple died Wednesday morning when a roaring fire consumed their two story farm home four miles north of here (Reedsville) on Highway 32. The victims were Martin H. O'Neil, 74 and his wife, Elizabeth, 70, both bedridden. Escaping with burns of undetermined seriousness were a daughter of the O'Neils, Mrs. Ted Isaacson and her three sons, Thomas, 1 1/2, Richard, 3 and Glenn, 4. Value of the leveled log and frame farm home and its contents was placed at $15,000 by Charles Kugle, Reedsville fire chief. According to Mrs. Isaacson, the fire began when a wood burning kitchen stove exploded while she was serving breakfast to her disabled parents at 8:30 a.m. Mrs. Isaacson was able to lead her children to safety but was unable to save her parents. Dr. Theodore Teitgen, county coroner, who investigated, said that Mrs. Isaacson was able to lead her father to a bedroom window but that the intense heat of the inferno forced her to leave the home. Mrs. O'Neil, an invalid for several years, apparently died in a living room adjoining the bedroom after she was able to gasp out the news of the fire to a Reedsville telephone operator, Chief Kugle said. Mr. O'Neil, who had been confined to bed with the after effects of a heart attack suffered Tuesday, died in the bedroom as would be rescuers tried to pull him through a window. Kugle said that the draft created by the broken pane caused the fire to envelop the room. The trapped man slumped to the floor between the bed and the window, as the flames forced neighbors to abandon him.
