BACHAND, FRANCIS
Posted By:Donna Bell Cross
Date: Saturday, 22 January 2000, at 9:15:53 p.m.
A SAD DROWNING:
Francis Bachand loses his life while crossing the Channel:
Boat Found on the Shore of Bass Island and Smashed on the Rocks:
The body of Francis Bachand lies at the bottom of the bay between here and Madeline Island, but where nobody knows. He left here Monday afternoon in a small sailboat to take Will Garnder and Earnest Brigham to Madeline Island. He arrived at the island all right, left the boys there, and started back, leaving there at 5 o'clock. The boys wanted him to stay there all night but he thought that he hadn't better as he had his brother's boat and he wanted to get back so that his brother could have the boat in the morning.
There was a heavy southwest wind blowing and the weather was bitter cold and before leaving the island he put double reefs in the sail. The boys watched him a few minutes after he had started and say that he was headed for Bayfield. This was the last seen of him.
As he did not arrive home that night or the next morning his folks felt uneasy about him and Nelson Bachand, his brother, started out at once with the "Stella B" to look for him. He went over to the island and found that Francis had left there as stated above. There was but one hope for Mr. Bachand and that was that Francis might have sought shelter somewhere along the shore on Madeline Island or at Bass Island. The west shore of Madeline was searched but no traces of the boat and its occupant could be found. The shore of Bass island was then searched and there, but a short distance east of the stone quarry dock the boat was found smashed on the rocks. The truth dawned upon Mr Bachand at once that Francis was drowned. He then searched the shore on each side of the wrecked boat for the body but could not find it.
It is the supposition that the boat capsized in the channel midway between Bayfield and Madeline Island and if he was able to get hold of the boat after it was capsized he could not hang on long for he would soon be benumbed with the cold and the waves would have washed him off. If such is the case, it is doubtful if his body ever will be found.
Francis Bachand was 27 years of age on the 12th of last October and has resided in Bayfield ever since his birth. Since he was old enough to work he has always followed the water and it would seem that he ought to have known the danger of sailing at this time of year, but like a geat many others, he took one chance too many. He intended to take out Captain's papers next spring. He was at home at either the throttle or wheel.
The aged parents are nearly prostrate with grief. Besides the parents of the deceased there are three brothers residing here, Nelson, Lewis and Dan. A sister, Mrs. A. Beauchemin, resides in Superior, and another brother, Duffy, in the West.
It was only two years ago that the deceased, with a companion, came near losing their lives in a similar manner. They went out in a sail boat and raised some herring nets which they had set in the bay and had started for home when a snowstorm set in from the northwest and they became lost. The next morning they brought up at Houghton point and started home when they were met by the tug "Camp" which was out looking for them.
There is hardly a season passes but some one loses their life in Chequamagon bay. The fall of the year is a very dangerous season to be out in sailboats.
The item on the death of Francis Bachand was in the Bayfield County Press, Saturday, December 9, 1899

BEAMS, Mrs. Geo. C. & Infant daughter
Posted By:Donna Bell Cross
Date: Thursday, 2 December 1999, at 9:02:00 p.m.
--Mrs. C. T. Andreas was called to West Superior Monday by a telegram announcing the death of her cousin, Mrs. Geo. C. Beams, and the nine months old daughter of Mrs. Beams, who received fatal burns by the explosion of an overturned lamp. The Superior Leader, in speaking of the fatal affair says: "As the result of a fire which occurred Sunday evening about 6 o'clock, Mrs. Geo. C. Beams and her 3 months old daughter, Mary, are dead. The fire occurred when the family were at supper. The little one caught hold of the table cloth and pulling on it overturned the lamp, which exploded, instantly enveloping the child in flames. The mother rushed to the assistance of her offspring and her clothing was soon ablaze. When they were resued the babie's life was despaired of as its little body was shockingly burned but it was thought the mother would recover. Her injuries were first supposed and she died Monday morning, shortly after 6 o'clock. Mr Beams was not in the house at the time of the fire."
The Bayfield County Press Saturday, December 15, 1900
NOTE: The above is an accurate reflection of the original article, including the poor sentence structure, &
the spelling of 'babie's". The discrepancy about the child's age is open to conjecture. As Mr. Beams was not at
home, it is assumed there was some other witness to state that Mrs. Beams "rushed to the assistance of her offspring...".
It would appear that the chld was older than 3 months. Perhaps walking early at the age of nine months.
BEATON, DANIEL A. OBITUARY

M.J. BELL Rites at Bayfield Recall the Whole Era of North Wis. Pioneering Days
M.J. ("Mert") Bell, 76 , outstanding north Wisconsin leader, was laid to rest yesterday in the cemetery atop the hill at Bayfield overlooking the blue waters of the bay there and the nestling Apostle Islands, and the services revived a flood of memories of the pioneering days of this region.
Mert Bell might have been claimed by Minneapolis, Superior, Ashland, Brule, Bellwood, Bayfield or elswhere in this region. He left his impress equally on them all. Whatever was good for our region he stood for.
The Bell slip in the west end of Ashland where the Coast Guard dock is located and where the big northern pike are caught is named after him. Here he conducted extensive cedar pole loading and shipping operations years ago. He ran a cedar mill here. He built the filling station and restaurant at Vaughn and Front street which are now Goldies's and the Golden Bee. He built Bellwood west of Iron River. He staked homesteads on the Brule. He served as county treasurer of Douglas county. He was prominent for years in the publishing of Sports Afield. He ran the Bell Pole and Lumber company of Minneapolis. He championed the deep waterway, tourist development, everything this region needed.
Those at the services were from all these places--the Twin Cities, the head of the lakes, Nebagamon, Brule, Ashland, other sports in the north Wisconsin he worked for.
Pall bearers were Floyd Christie, oldest resident of Lake Nebagamon; W.F. Taylor of Minneapolis, publisher of Sports Afield; Jack MacRae and Ed Boseley of Iron River; Joel Gates and George Yale of Superior.
Mert's son Merton Jr. is named after Gates. The J. in his name is for Joel, whereas the J. in Mert Sr.'s name is for James. Gates, president of the National Bank of Commerce of Superior, knew Bell 56 years ago when Bell was cruising timer and locating homestead claims on te Brule--a job Bell began when he was 18. At that time Bell's father ran a pioneer hotel at Brule. Gates followed Bell's career when later Bell became the Brule member of the county board, then went into politics as the "country" member to balance the city members on the county ticket, and became Douglas county treasurer.
Reverend George Grether of Bayfield gave the graveside service, referring to Bell's lifetime of activities in behalf of the north Wisconsin region.
Henry Wachsmuth, Joe O'Malley, Douglas Knight, Roy Okerstrom, Captain Bill Miller and many other well-known Bayfield citizens were there. Mr and Mrs. Al Fulton, identified with construction activities of the region for many years, were in the group, just back from a winter at Houston, Texas. Ashlanders included Dr. J.M. Dodd, Attorney and Mrs. Allan T. Pray, Attorney and Mrs. Theron Pray, Walter Larson, John B. Chapple, Robert Boisen and Clarence Van Remortel. The head of the lakes and the twin cities were likewise represented.
The parents of Mrs. Bell, the former May Rockwood, are buried there at Bayfield.
Curie Bell, long-time early Bayfield editor and one of the most prominent men in Bayfield history, was Mert Bell's uncle and Curie Bell's son, Don Bell, Mert Bell's cousin and himself editor of the Bayfield County Press from 1908 to 1927, was among members of the family who was present.
An idea of how far the Bell family goes back into Bayfield history may be gleaned from the fact that the Bayfield County Press, founded by pioneer Colonel Wing and suspended, was revived by Curie Bell and run by him for years. Here the late "Squibbler" John C. Chapple, for 58 years with the Ashland Daily Press, got his start in newspapering as a boy in the 80's; here the late Burt Hill of Bayfield, years later to become Gov. Fifields's associate on Sand Island also did newspapering; here also was where pioneer Editor Pete Savage of the Iron River Pioneer, who is still going strong, broke into the newspaper game, likewise in the 80's. Curie Bell was godfather to them all, and Mert Bell's cousin Don, now secretary of Mert Bell's Bell Lumber and Pole company of Minneapolis, followed Curie and was for many years in turn the Bayfield County editor.
Among those at the rites in addtion to the widow and those already mentioned were Mr. and Mrs. M.J. Bell Jr. of Minneapolis (he was prominent in high school athletics and other activities in this region); Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Brown of Minneapolis (who is daughter Verna); Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hogan of Cleveland (who is daughter Vera); Mrs. Clark Sutmar, sister of Mrs. Bell, and her daughter Mary Frances of St. Paul; Mrs. Alvin Clark of Milwaukee, a sister; Mrs. K. A. Truax of Minneapolis, a sister; Mr. and Mrs. Everett Rockwood of Superior (he is a brother of Mrs. Bell); Mr. and Mrs. Robert Traux of Minneapolis (he is a nephew); Mrs. Edward Edegett of St. Paul, a niece; Mrs. and Mrs. Jack Vacha of Iron River (she is a niece); Mr. and Mrs. Don C. Bell (he was born at Bayfield in 1887, cousin of the late Mert Bell; Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Christy, Mrs. Mary Ann Babb, and Mrs. Bessie Rossiter, all of Lake Nebagamon; Mr. and Mrs. Joe Walz of Parkland,Wis; Mrs. E.S. Cosgrove of Solon Springs; Mrs. Clarence Skamser of Superior; Mrs. N.A. Avery, Mrs. John Kranzfelder, Mrs. Harry Callen of Bayfield; Walter Larson, Robert Boisen and Clarence Van ReMortel, Ashland.
Note: Truax and Traux are recorded as published. They were presumably the same family. One of the spellings is incorrect.

BICKSLER, B.F.
Posted By:Donna Bell Cross
Date: Wednesday, 10 November 1999, at 2:58:56 p.m.
OBITUARY
Our community is called upon to mourn the loss by death of one of our pioneer citizens. One who has been closely identified with the up-building and development of our city, and ever recognized as an honerable(sic)and upright man.
B. F. Bicksler was born on the 19th of January, 1834, in the state of Virginia, from which place he came in 1856, to Bayfield, as a carpenter in the employ of the Bayfield Land Co. The first mill at that point was erected by him. In 1858 he married Miss Adeline Pike, daughter of Judge Pike, of Bayfield and shortly afterwards removed to Portage, in this state. He returned to Bayfield in 1868 and resided there until 1873, when he came to Ashland and settled. As a carpenter and builder he soon took prominence in building matters, and many of our largest structures are the result of his comprehensive mind and handiwork. Owing to ill health he gave up the building business, and opened a store on the corner of Vaughn avenue and Second street, for the sale of funiture, crockery and such like goods. Success constantly beamed upon him and he leaves today an establishment complete in all its details.
Mrs. Bicksler and three grown up children survive him. The sympathy of the community is extended towards them in their
hour of sore affliction. Mr. B. was a charter member of Ancient Landmark Lodge 210, A.F.&A.M. under whose auspices the
funeral will be conducted. The funeral services will take place here and he will be buried in Bayfield.
