Dies at the Age of Eighty-Three Years After a Long Period of Suffering --The Result of Paralytic Strokes.

Death this week entered the home of one of Bayfield's oldest and most respected citizens and removed therefrom Jeremiah Andreas. Mr. Andreas was a resident of this city for twenty-five years and his display of patience during the long days of suffering was admired by all. His death is a loss to the city, but though he has gone from our midst, memories of him will linger on in the future.

He was a direct descendant of a long line of old New England ancestry and was one of the earliest pioneers of the state of Wisconsin.

During life Mr. Andreas performed his duties with faithfullness and integrity and was a member of the town board of trustees at Sparta during several years of his residence there, and in later years, in this city, held with credit the position of librarian in the public library. He was a member of the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias and also of the A. O. C. W.

During the past fifteen years, Mr. Andreas suffered from paralysis, his first attack being in 1859 at Ashland. From this stroke he recovered considerably, but five years ago he again suffered an attack from which he never recovered sufficiently to permit him to move about. He again suffered a paralytic stroke on the thirtieth day of May, of this year, and his sufferings continued from that date until his death Monday afternoon.

To mourn his demise he leaves a widow and three sons, William D. of Boston, Mass., Chauncey T. of Bayfield, and Albert H. of Forbes, Col. The Press joins with everyone in expressing the deepest of sorrow and extending the greatest of condolences to the bereaved relatives.

All Bayfield residents were grieved Wednesday morning to learn of the death of Judge Joseph Springle Atkinson, whose demise occurred at three o'clock Wenesday morning. Mr. Atkinson's death has been a great shock to his family and to many close friends throughout the Chequamegon Bay region, for he was a man of splendid character ability. In his death the Harbor City loses a good citizen, a splendid resident and official.

Joseph Springle Atkinson was born at Garland, Maine, on the sixth day of July, 1844.

On January 14th 1868, Mr. Atkinson was married to Martha Maria Price at Portland, Maine and the following June moved to Genesee, Illinois. In 1869, Mr. Atkinson and family took up their residence in Minneapolis, but in 1870 moved to Duluth.

Shortly after that the family came to Michigan Island, where Mr. Atkinson sered as assistant keeper of the light house for a year and a half, and then the residence was taken up in this city.

Mr. Atkiinson was a member of the local order of Modern Woodmen and also of the A. E. Burnside Post of the Grand Army of the Republic, in this city, and leaves friends and old comrades who sincerely mourn his death.

HANNAH AUSTRIAN OBITUARY

First White Woman at Bayfield Died Last Week at the Age of Eighty Seven Years.

Old residents of the Harbor City, who lived here in the early days when the town was but a small settlement, are grieving this week over the death of Mrs. Hannah Austrian, at the home of her daughter in Chicago, on Wednesday of last week. The sad news came in a letter recieved by Mrs. N. LaBonte, and her death brings sorrow not only to the older generation but also the young, who know her as one who lived in the early pioneer days of Bayfield.

Hannah Austrian was born in Detroit eighty seven years ago last February, and in her twentieth year was married to Mr. Julius Austrian at Eagle River. About the year 1850 they came to LaPointe where Mr. Austrian was engaged in conducting a large merchantile establishment. In those days LaPointe was a thriving metropolis of this region, being one of the most important trading posts on the great lakes. Both Mr. and Mrs. Austrian were closely identified with the early growth of that place and Bayfield. Mr. Austrian at one time had extensive interests here. He was especially well known as connected with a vessel transportation line. Mrs. Austrian had the distinction of being the first woman of the white race to set foot on Bayfield soil. After a residence of several years at LaPointe Mr. and Mrs. Austrian moved to St. Paul, where in 1891 Mr. Austrian was injured while performing a charitable deed, his bruises proving fatal. Since his death Mrs. Austrian has made her home inChicagowith a daughter, Mrs. Carrie Hart.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Austrian will long be remembered for their ever kind and charitable donations to the poor of this region. A son, and daughter, both of Chicago, are left to mourn the death of this highly respected and beloved woman and are joined in sorrow by scores of Bayfield residents.

Mrs. Austrian was not ill for any length of time, but died suddenly of acute indigestion. Interment took place in Chacago.

We quote from the following letter to Mrs. LaBonte: "I know how grieved you will be as you, as well as all of us, have lost a dear friend. The end was very beautiful and a fitting one to a beautiful life like hers. You knew her in her younger days and knew what a wonderful woman she was and how her near and dear ones will miss her. We must submit to the will of God as we know what he does is well done and maybe she has been spared much pain and suffering. Will you please tell all her friends in Bayfield who loved her so dearly."

NOTE: There is no indication of deceased's maiden name
