DENIS DEWANE cemetery #16 (from the Manitowoc Tribune, 14 Oct. 1875) WAS HE MURDERED? The finding of a man in the Road with his Neck Broken Last Sunday morning a man named Dennis Dewane was found dead on the public highway in front of John Arnold's store in the town of Cooperstown, this county, the circumstances of which lead to the belief that he was murdered for money. The man Dewane was a bachelor living in the Town of Franklin, Kewaunee County, who had, a few days previously, sold his farm for $2,000, receiving $1,000 in cash, which money, the mortgage, and other papers he had left in the care of a cousin of his, where they still are. On Sunday morning, about five o'clock, Dewane left his home (just over the Manitowoc county line) taking with him $2.20, for which he intended to purchase some meat at a butcher shop near Arnold's store, and at about 6 o'clock was seen to pass by a couple of farmers residing on the road. At 7 o'clock, when Mr. Arnold opened his store, he observed a man lying in the road and went to him. An examination showed that his face was bloody and that he was dead. Arnold then aroused his nearest neighbor, Adam Keifer, and the two called a priest residing near the church, a short distance south of the store. The remains were carried into the store, and later in the forenoon a jury was empanneled, which, after examining the body, gave a verdict that Dewane came to his death by a blow in the face and by having his neck broken. On Monday afternoon the remains were interred near the church. An examination of the pockets of the deceased showed that the $2.20 with which he left home had not been removed. The questions now presenting themselves are: How can the blood on his face be accounted for? and if he fell down in an apoplextic fit, how came his neck to be broken, or was the jury mistaken as to the extent of the injuries? The friends of the deceased are firm in the belief that he was killed, his murderer thinking he had the proceeds of the sale of his farm in his pocket, while others, the priest among them, think otherwise. Yesterday Mr. P.J. Pierce was sent to Cooperstown to inquire into the case, and tomorrow the District Attorney, together with the Coronor and a jury, will go there, take up the remains, and ascertain the causes which led to his death. Mr. Dewane is said to have been a very peaceable man, and it is not known that he had an enemy in the world. He was given to intoxication occasionally, but was not quarrelsome and was perfectly sober at the time of his death. The circumstance has created quite a sensation, and the facts to be gained by the inquest tomorrow are looked forward to with much anxiety, as it will then be known whether the man was murdered or not. ******** From Der Nord Westen, 14 Oct. 1875 Discovery of a body Monday morning by Mr. John Arnold, a merchant in Cooperstown. As he opened his store he saw a body lying in the main street. With the help of Pastor Wenniger and other neighbors, the still warm body was brought into the store. Further details were provided in the 21 Oct. edition, and the murdered man was identified as Dennis Dewane, a resident of Franklin, Kewaunee Co., not far from the county line.

ROLAND C. DEWEY cemetery 89C (This was sent in by his daughter)
He was resident of Lakeview Health Center in West Salem, Wisconsin and died there. No one was notified that he died! His brother received something from a company to preserve his obituary write up and that was the "first" anyone knew that he died! The whole funeral, burial and all had been done in West Salem. My father had a plot already in Two Rivers and my Aunt and Uncle (his brother and sister-in-law) wanted him in Two Rivers with the family....so, they had investigated how they could go about having him transferred. That is the reason for the October date there in Two Rivers, where they later held a church service at St. Marks for him. My mother and father had been divorced for many years. ___________ Memorial Obituary Entered Into Eternal Rest April 13, 1990 Roland C. Dewey Roland C.

Division Roland Dewey is listed on page 167 of the "Combat Rosters" appended to the book THE FURNACE AND THE FIRE: The Story of a Regiment of Infantry, Vienna, Austria, 1945. It shows that he participated in 2 campaigns, Campaign Rhineland and Campaign Central Europe. On January 10, 2001 the entire 222nd Infantry Regiment was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation (Army). We are presently trying to determine whether my father was a member of Co. "L" and participated in that battle. We don't have his discharge papers but are trying to see if we can get a copy so we can access the wealth of information available.
