JOSEPH C. HOLLY   cemetery #44

JOSEPH HOLLY, SHOTO MILLWRIGHT, 
LOSES LIFE WHILE SEEKING TO PROTECT DAM FROM ICE JAM EARLY TODAY
BODY CARRIED UNDER ICE AND THROUGH GATES HAS NOT BEEN RECOVERD. 
One death, considerable property damage from floods, a blackade of 
the Soo tracks ??? of the city caused by a landslide, flooded cellar, 
and street, these are some of the effects of the heavy rain which has 
prevailed for more than twenty four hours and which early this morning 
took on the appearance of a cloudburst.
Joseph Holly, millwright and owner of the Neshoto mill, lost his life 
there this morning when he fell or was knocked into the river by a 
piece of ice. Up to a late hour this afternoon the body had not been 
recovered.
With Michael Schimmel and another man Mr. Holly was engaged in cutting 
ice about the dam in order to open the gates to prevent a recurrence 
of the damage a year ago when the dam was completely washed out and a 
loss of $3,000 ocrasioned (sic) during an ice jam. Mr. Holly, in 
attempting to raise the gates lost his balance or was struck by a chunk 
of floating ice, and fell into the water, the body being carried under 
the ice and through the gates of the dam. With the weight of a heavy 
coat and other clothing which he wore Mr. Holly was unable to save 
himself and men working with him could not reach him in time to render 
aid.
The tragedy created much excitement at Neshoto and in this city where 
Mr. Holly was well known, being a visitor in the city almost daily. Mr. 
Holly was 48 years of age and had been engaged in the milling business 
at Neshoto for many years. He was widely known throughout the county 
and the news of his death and the circumstances surrounding it will be 
greatly deplored.
Besides a widow Mr. Holly is survived by three children. A year ago the 
Holly mill sustained a heavy loss ??? reason of the dam going out and 
the floods caused by the ice jam, it being said that the damage totaled 
more than $3,000.
With the strong current that is caused in the river by the heavy rains 
and ice, it is feared that the body of the unfortunate man has been 
carried far from the spot where he lost his life and that it may be some 
time before it is recovered.

BODY OF HOLLY IS NOT RECOVERED, SEARCH IS RENEWED
HIGH WATER FORCES ABANDONMENT OF SEARCH FOR BODY OF SHOTO MILLER 
YESTERDAY AFTER-NOON. MAY NOT RECOVER IT
The body of Joseph Holly, the Neshoto miller, whi (sic) lost his life 
while trying to protect the dam from being carried out by an ice jam 
yesterday, has not been recovered and little hope is entertained that 
the body will be found for some time. It is feared that the body has 
been carried far from the place where Holly lost his life and that 
owing to the ice and current it may not be found until spring, if 
ever.
High water forced the abandonment of the search for the body yesterday 
afternoon, making it impossible for those engaged in the search to 
continue the work. However just as soon as it is possible to do so the 
search will be resumed in hope that by some chance the body may not 
have been carried away by the current and can be recoverd.
News of the tragic death of Mr. Holly occasioned widespread regret and 
aroused a wave of sympathy for the stricken family. Mr. Holly was one 
of the few millers of the county who had continued in the business and 
had been successful and though a year ago he sustained a heavy loss 
when the dam was wrecked by an ice jam and much other damage to his 
property resulted, Mr. Holly had owned and operated the mill at Shoto 
for many years.
The failure of searchers to recover the body adds to the tragedy of Mr. 
Holly's death and the sorrow of family and friends.

RESUME SEARCH FOR BODY OF JOS. HOLLY
Twenty-five searchers today resumed efforts to recover the body of 
Joseph Holly, the Shoto miller who lost his life while engaged in 
an effort to protect the dam from ice jams. Owing to the high water 
the search had to be abandoned Saturday but it was again taken this 
morning. There seems to be little hope that the body will [be] 
recovered at this time, though the search is being diligently 
prosecuted. 
The greatest sympathy is extended to Mrs. Holly and the bereaved 
family whose sorrow is intensified by falure (sic) to recover the 
body.

HOLLY FUNERAL TO BE HELD FROM HOME SUNDAY AT 1
Body Was Found in Two Feet of Water and Half Covered by Sand after 
All Day Search Yesterday
Funeral services for the late Joseph Holly, the Neshoto miller who lost 
his life on January 27 in the river there and whose body was found 
yesterday, will be held from the late home at Shoto tomorrow and the 
body will be brought to this city for interment at Evergreen.
The body of Mr. Holly was recovered by Fred Jachimstahl and Edward Bishop 
late yesterday after a search which had started early in the morning and 
in which the two men had followed the river as far as Two Rivers. 
Returning, one on each side of the river, dragging with a hook, they found 
the body about one-half mile from Neshoto in two feet of water only a short 
distance from the shore and half covered by sand.
No marks were on the body and it was in good state and was taken into the 
boat and carried to the home where it later it was prepared for burial. Mr. 
Jachimstahl said today that the body was found at a spot where no one would 
have expected it to be.
The recovery of the body of Mr. Holly is comforting to the family and to

Body Recovered and Effort Made to Save With Pulmotor
Playing on the dock at the foot of North Sixth street at 3 o’clock 
this afternoon, Alex Holm, 6-year-old son of John Holm, 602 Commercial 
street, fell from the dock into the river and was drowned. The body was 
recovered fifteen minutes later by Officers Dueno, Christiansen and 
Carls and Drs. Meany, Donahue and Roberts are at work in an effort to 
revive the boy by use of the pulmotor. Repeated warning to children to 
remain away from the dock have been unheeded though oft times they have 
been driven away. 
Children with the Holm boy witnessed the accident today but instead of 
notifying the Hall warehouse to secure aid, ran a block to the home to 
summon the mother. The police were notified and recovered the body about 
ten feet from the dock. After working over the boy for nearly an hour 
physicians gave up and pronounced the child dead.

POISON IN WATER CAUSED LAD’S DEATH
Pulmotor Might Have Saved Lad but for This
That sewage which contaminated the water was primarily responsible for the 
death of Alex Holm, the six year old boy who fell into the river yesterday 
it believed by physicians who say that the pulmotor should have been 
effective in reviving the boy who was in the water but a few minutes, 15 at 
the most. However, there was no response when the machine was used and after 
working over the child for an hour, hope was abandoned. 
At the point where the boy’s body was found the water is contaminated by 
discharge from sewers leading into the river. The body of the boy was taken 
to the home and the funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon.

MEAD HOLMES, JR.   cemetery #44

Death of Mead Holmes Jr.
Our community was startled yesterday with the intelligence of the 
sudden death of Sergeant Mead Holmes, Jr.
The sad intelligence fell with crushing weight upon those who knew 
his moral worth and manly principle; and everywhere in the vicinity 
his loss is deeply deplored.
Ardent, generous and truthful; at the age when adolescence is verging 
into manhood prime; with christian principle firmly engrafted upon 
the elements of a noble soul, he was just the kind of man to realize 
the requirements of the great cause of Human Liberty, and the struggle 
for a Constitutional Government; and though surrounded by the comforts 
of a home and friends who almost idolized him; the only son of loving 
parents; he left a good situation and enlisted in the 21st Wisconsin 
volunteers, sharing their hardships, and doing his duty in a manner 
which secured the respect of his comrades and the confidence of his 
officers even in that glorious regiment were all have done so well.
The best evidence of the patriotism of this brave hearted and noble 
minded boy is the fact that he has for years been suffering from 
periodical attacks of organic disease, yet when he heard the call 
of the President, he stepped into the ranks to the music of "Three 
hundred thousand more," not in the spirit of bravado which so many 
exhibit under such circumstances, but quietly and manfully, under 
the stern pressure of a consciousness of duty to his country, and 
fidelity to his God.
He braved the dangers on the battle fields of Perryville and 
Murfreesboro, and met the perils which always surround the soldier 
in an enemy's country, with cool courage and christian fortitude.
He was promoted for general good conduct, receiving a sergeant's 
warrant but a few days before his death.
Educated, energetic, industrious, with high toned principles and 
irreproachable habits, his death is a loss to the community, but 
more so to the service which needs the support of just such men. 
More than one of our readers have perused the stirring letters 
from the 21st regiment signed M.H., which have from time to time 
appeared in the columns of our paper, but some of them will require 
to be told that they were the production of the subject of this 
sketch. A short time since, by special arrangement he became 
connected with the Tribune as one of its regular correspondents, 
and though the demands upon his time were such that he was unable 
to furnish us weekly letters direct, he gave directions by which 
we were able to secure extracts from his private correspondence 
with his friends, and thus kept up the connection to the date of 
his death. From his letter in last week's issue, we quote the 
following sublime passage:
"S-M- died in Italy. How much I would prefer to bleach on the 
battle field, slain in my country's cause, than to die in Naples, 
away from my native land in this hour of her peril when my strength, 
money and influence are so much needed."
Noble sentiment!-worthy to be recorded among the dying expressions 
of patriots and philanthropists. He fell dead at the camp fire 
while thinking over the loving words which he desired to commit 
to paper for the perusal of the loved ones at home; but his death 
upon the battle field could not have been more glorious, for his 
life was a sacrifice to his sense of duty. Mr. Holmes was Sup't 
of the Sabbath School of the 1st Pres. Church, and while acting 
in that capacity, was faithful and earnest in his efforts to build 
up a model school; and the institution is one which will be an 
enduring monument of his perseverance and unselfish devotion to 
the ca?so of right. We need not ask our citizens to show every 
respect to the remains of the brave young citizen soldier, for 
all are eager to show their appreciation of his worth, and their 
sympathy with the mourning friends.
