CARL MAACK cemetery #64 From Der Nord Westen, 16 Feb. 1905: Regarding the previously reported passing of Carl Maack which occurred on 18 Jan., we have additional details. Mr. Maack was born 03 May 1824 in Lindenberg, Pomerania, and came to America in 1853. He settled in Town Mishicott where he has lived ever since. The deceased, who reached the age of 80 yrs. 8 mos. 15 days, leaves a widow, 6 daughters and 2 sons. The funeral was held Mon., 23 Jan. CHAS. MAACK cemetery #64 MISHICOTT MAN WHO HAD NOT BEEN HEARD FROM IN 30 YEARS, KILLED AT MILWAUKEE BY AUTO Identity of Charles Maack Established After Death and Burial, Relatives Bring Body to Mishicott for Interment Missing for more than thirty years during which time relatives had received no word of him, Charles Maack, former Mishicot man, died at Milwaukee March 1, was buried in that city as an unknown, was later identified by relatives here and the body disinterred and shipped to Mishicot for reburial. The body of Mr. Maack was brought here from Milwaukee, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Soenksen of Chicago. Mr. Soenksen is a nephew. The remains were taken to Mishicot where burial was held today. Thirty years ago, Charles Maack, whose parents resided three miles northeast of Mishicot was employed in the old tannery of the Pfister and Vogel Co. at Two Creeks. One day he announced his intention of leaving and took his departure and from that day until a week or ten days ago, relatives had no trace of the man, though it is said he had been employed at Milwaukee in the tannery of the same company there. On February 24, Maack was run down by an automobile in the streets of Milwaukee and sustained injuries which caused his death on March 1. Through publication of the details of the accident and name of the injured man, relatives here finally learned of the whereabouts of the long missing relative. Friends of the family at Milwaukee, who were informed of the long absence of Maack and who, with his relatives had believed the man dead, were attracted by the similarity of names of the missing man and the injured and started an investigation, the result of which, however, did not become certain until after the death and burial of Maack, when his identity was established. The request of relatives here and at Chicago for permission to disinter the body was granted by Milwaukee officials, the identity of the dead man established as that of the missing Mishicot man and permit for removal of the body was given. Mr. Maack was a man past fifty years of age and is well remembered at Mishicot and the vicinity. Why he should reside within 130 miles of his home for thirty years and not visit relatives or even communicate with them is a mystery that will probably never be known.

JOHN MACFARLANE cemetery #44 DEATH CLAIMS JOHN MC FARLANE(sic), VETERAN NEWSPAPER MAN OF THE CITY AT HOSPITAL TODAY Managing Editor of Daily News, Removed to Hospital Two weeks Ago, Succumbs to illness which He Suffered from for Months-Was Native of this City and 63 Years of Age John MacFarlane, veteran newspaper man, manager of the Citizens Publishing company and managing editor of the Daily News, died at the hospital today, aged 63. Mr. MacFarlane had been a patient at the hospital for two weeks, having suffered a breakdown as result of the extreme heat three weeks ago. For several days his condition had precluded hope of recovery but the announcement of his death today was a shock. Mr. MacFarlane was a native of this city, having been born here May 16, 1853. He was a son of the late George MacFarlane, Sr., and received his early education in the local schools. At an early age he learned the printer's trade, serving his apprenticeship in the 60's. In 1870 Mr. MacFarlane located in Tennessee where he was employed for a year and then returned to Chicago where he worked on the Chicago Tribune and other papers and in 1876 removed to Racine where he was employed on the Racine times as a reporter, later being on the staff of Utley's weekly and during his residence there became editor of the Racine Daily Times and later he had the Racine agency for the Chicago papers. Mr. MacFarlane returned to his native city in May, 1900, to accept a position with C.W. Roberts, then about to establish the Daily News, and he became editor of the paper which appeared the same month, under ownership of the Citizen Publishing company. A short time later Mr. MacFarlane, with his son, George, who was then attending high school at Racine, took over the Citizen company and its two papers, the Daily News and the Weekly Citizen. The company also conducted a job printing establishment. In 1901, George MacFarlane, son of the deceased, came to the city and assumed the duties of city editor of the News, which he has continued ever since. Mr. MacFarlane had planned to retire from active partici- pation in the Citizen company when he was taken with the fatal illness. Up to within a short time of his illness, however, he had given his personal attention to the business. For years, Mr. MacFarlane had been one of the leaders in the republican party of the county, a staunch advocate of its principles and his paper was one of the well known republican newspapers of the state. Although he had never sought political preferment, he was active in the councils of the party and was known throughout the state. Deceased was a member of the Elk's lodge and of the Royal League, affil- iated with the Manitowoc branches and was active in the two organizations. He had for years been a regular attendant at state conventions of the Elks and was widely known in the order in Wisconsin. Mr. MacFarlane was twice married. In 1880 he married Mary Thompson of Racine whose death occurred five years later. In 1886 he was united in marriage to Minnie Abrahamson of the same city, who with one son, George, and a daughter, Jean, survive. One sister, Mrs. Jacob Walton, of Chicago, also survives. Funeral services will be held Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the late home at 602 Park street.
