HARRY STOLL cemetery #84 On Tuesday night the family of Herman Stoll received the news of the terrible accident in which their seven-year-old son Harry and the youngest child of the family, drownd(sic) in the river. It was about 6:30 PM when the boy, who was with his friend Arno Graf, drove the cows back to Wm. Meyer's pasture after they had been milked. In order to shorten the way home, the boys crossed the river at the milldam, with the accident victim, crossing first on the small wall. Apparently, he must have taken a wrong step and fell into the water that was about 12 feet deep at that point. Arno Graf, saw the accident and immediately ran to the neighboring house of Mr. John Voss. However he was so frightened and scared that it took a while for him to make himself understood. for that reason it delayed the rescue of the body from the water, and the young life had already flown, and all attempts to bring him back were useless. The deceased was brought to his home. The pain of very shaken parents who were so suddenly robed(sic) of one of the beloved children, and who have had a hard lot in the last years. As this is written we are thinking of the family and all extend their sympathies to the family. The burial will take place on Thursday afternoon at the Rockville Cemetery. Pastor W.

SAMUEL A. STONE cemetery #89B IN MEMORIAM On Friday afternoon last, Sam Stone responded to the "long roll" of the Supreme Commander of the Universe. Quietly and peacefully the spirit of one of the noblest men in Wisconsin, released from its shattered tenement winged its way to a grand eternity. He had a history. Early in the war he severed the ties that bound him to home and friends and responded to his country's call. Among the 100,000 noble men that Wisconsin sent to war, none were better, none truer than he; he was an ideal soldier. At the siege of Vicksburg he was severely wounded, and for two days lay untouched and uncared for on that blood-stained field; he was then removed to a hospital at Memphis, lingering on the edge of the grave and suffering the most intense agony, yet without a murmur or complaint. He was discharged and sent home, but has ever been compelled to use crutches, his pain and suffering have been continuous, and yet he was always cheerful, and no word of complaint was ever heard to fall from his lips. As a soldier he was loyal, true and brave; a kind husband and affectionate father; a true and steadfast friend, and an upright citizen. He was born in Mackinaw, Mich., in 1822, and has been a resident of Wisconsin for thirty years. He was buried at Two Rivers on Sunday last, the members of Manitowoc Lodge, I.O.O.F. and Temple of Honor, of both of which societies he was an honored and faithful member, participating in the last sad rites. There is another vacant place in our ranks, and another little green mound to be visited and tenderly cared for when Nature's first offerings shall be gathered in early spring, as the tributes of the living to the heroic dead; but his memory will be as green as the sod that covers him until the eyes of his old comrades shall be closed in death and their bodies are laid side by side with his.
