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
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.

Ira Daniel Lounsbury descends from a very early pioneer family in Jefferson County, WI, 
his father being Ira Davis Lounsbury.  Ira Davis Lounsbury came to WI by way of canal 
from New York State in 1838.  He cleared 25 acres of  land in Dodge and Jefferson 
counties, and was granted several land patents.  He then purchased the farm of his 
wife's father, Benjamin Piper, who was the first settler in the Village of Watertown, 
Jefferson County, WI.  He came to the WI Territory in 1835, did some work, returned 
to NY to get his family, and then built a log cabin.  He was the one who built the 
Watertown Plank Road going from Watertown to Milwaukee so that the farmers could get 
their products to market, without sinking with their carts, etc.  Smart man. Later 
built an Inn by the Plank Road.  Manitowoc County, of course, does not need this 
history, but we have some extremely early settlers in WI Territory.
Their famly roots have been traced back to England, with the first ones being in 
America in the 1650s to 1700s.

ready and happy to die and be released from her life
of pain.
