JOHANN HEINRICH BORN   cemetery #14

From Der Nord Westen, 07 Jan. 1904: 
What his relatives have anticipated for several weeks finally 
took place on Tues. last week when Johan Heinrich Born, an old 
and esteemed resident of our county, closed his tired eyes in 
the last long sleep. The deceased was born 14 Mar. 1815 in
Niederndielen, Upper-Hesse, Bez. Biedenkoff and came to America 
in 1849, first living 3 yrs. in Southampton, Long Island, New 
York. On 21 Oct. 1852 he traveled back to Germany, then returned 
to America in Apr. 1853. He came to Manitowoc County and settled 
in Town Newton, which was then a wilderness, and established a 
farm. On 21 Aug. of that same year he married Miss Eva Achebach, 
his now surviving 79-yr. old widow. He worked his farm until 1885 
when he relocated to Fond du Lac County and operated a farm there. 
In 1894 he returned to Manitowoc County residing with his son Adam 
who operates a farm in Town Centerville. About 2 mos. ago the robust 
man fell ill and for the past week it had seemed to his sons that 
the end was near. His death was due to a combination of illnesses 
which afflict the very elderly. A good man has been lost with the 
death of Mr. Born who was one of our oldest friends and has been a
subscriber ever since this paper was established. May he rest in 
peace. In addition to his above mentioned widow, he is survived by 
6 sons, namely, Adam, Heinrich and Louis in Centerville; John and 
Jakob in Newton; and August in Collins, as well as 17 grandchildren. 
One son and a daughter preceded their father in death. The funeral
took place New Year's Day at the Saxon Cemetery in Centerville under 
the direction of Pastor Sprengling. The 6 sons carried their father's 
casket to the grave.

FRANK BOURIL   cemetery #43

From Der Nord Westen, 16 Nov. 1905:
Frank Bouril has been missing since 05 Nov. and his family has 
asked the police to search the river near the water tower. It 
was there that he was last seen, and his family fears he may 
have fallen into the river.
************
From Der Nord Westen, 05 Apr. 1906:
Our readers will remember that last Oct. 5th Frank Bouril disappeared without a
trace. One knew that he had left his house, but then his trail was lost. It was 
feared that he had met with some misfortune or had drowned in the river. On Monday
afternoon Joseph Mally and Peter Bies, two workers in the lime plant, while
erecting a timber work against the ice at the nearby railroad bridge, saw a body and
notified the police. Because of the long time in the water the identity could not be
established. There were no wounds on the body and whether the individual died
accidentally or was murdered, must be established by the coroner's inquest. The
coroner's jury absolutely established that Bouril had left his home to pay a debt of
$10 he owed to Ed. Mohr for some brickwork, and it was established that the dead
man had two five-dollar bills in his pocket along with a $1.50 loose change. The
jury rendered a verdict that Bouril had met an accidental death.
