His age has not been reported. 10 Jan. Entered into rest, Thursday, Dec 18th, 1873, Mrs. Richard Jessimer, of Appleton, formerly Miss Kate O'Connor, of Randolph, WI. The deceased was a daughter of Thos. O'Conner, of this town. The corpse was brought home, and interred in the Catholic cemetery at this place. 24 Jan Bremner - In the town of Buffalo, on the 29th day of Dec 1873, of Pleuro pneumonia, William Bremner, aged 45 years. William Bremner died in the town of Buffalo, Dec 29th, 1873. William was born on the 13th day of Nov, 1828, and 45 years of age when he died. Mr. Bremner came to this county in 1847, one of the first settlers, and poor; but with extreme industry he had acquired a full competency, which he now leaves to his afflicted wife and four children, between the ages of six and ten years. Ten weeks before he died he was taken sick, with a fever, which was soon followed with pereostetis of one foot. The disease of the foot went on to superation, which came to the surface in about two weeks. The discharge from the foot was such an enormous drain upon the system that he became poor and emaciated; still, he finally got in a good way and commenced recruiting. Eight days before he died, he was attacked very suddenly with pleuro pneumonia, which was too much for his condition, and he finally died of that disease. Mr. Bremner, was one of the choice men of that town, and no man in that neighborhood could have died and been missed more than he. William was one of our best friends; and he was a friend to everybody worthy of a good man's friendship. He was honest to the fullest extent; and his word was never doubted in the least degree. He was prize among his neighbors, active and influential, even without making enemies, for he had none. But a good and noble hearted man has gone not to return again. His generous and attentive wife is left without a protector, and his four young children are left without his guide and council. It will be dreary in that household, and amongst all of this relatives, and especially with that aged mother; and the same feelings in a less degree perhaps will pervade the whole neighborhood. It is a sad experience to witness the sickness and death of a friend and good man, especially in the prime of life. A man so useful, full of manly traits as was William Bremner. And how often is it the case, that a man's virtues begin to shine the brightest as he is about to pass away. It would be otherwise was there less selfishness in the world. 10 Jan. Sudden Death - Mrs. Mary Fox, wife of John Fox, residing in the town of Harris, died very suddenly on Wed morning, from apoplexy. Mrs. Fox, was in town on Tues afternoon at a funeral, and returned home and retired in the evening, in apparently, good health. Mr. Fox awoke about five o'clock in the morning, and noticing that his wife was breathing heavily, attempted to arouse her. Not succeeding in this he got up and procured a light and returned to the bedside, only in time to see her pass into the sleep that knows no waking on earth. Mrs. Fox was the mother of a large family of children, who, with the husband, have the sympathies of a large circle of acquaintances, in their sudden bereavement. 21 Feb. Collins - In the town of Montello, Sunday night Feb 15th, Mr. James Collins, aged 76 years. Fox - In the town of Harris, Wed. morning, the 18th inst., of apoplexy, Mrs. Mary, wife of Mr. John Fox, aged about 40 years. 21 Feb Last Tuesday, Mar 24th, the wife of Mr. Robert Hume. She was buried on Thursday. Also on Thursday, the 26th ult, the wife of Mr. Daivd Horton. She was buried on Friday. Mr. Wright Newhall, one of the partners in the woolen factory died on Tuesday. A hearse was procured from Portage, and his remains were escorted out of the village by a large crowd of friends; the band playing the Death March. He was taken to Praire du Sac for burial. He was a fine, sociable and friendly man and a firm, earnest friend of temperance. His remains were followed by a large number of temperance men in procession, through the village, attesting their great respect and deep earnest regret. 31 Mar Marquette Independent. Killed by his team running away - A very sad and fatal accident occurred on last Sat. afternoon, in the Sheldon neighborhood, in the town of Harris, some 4 or 5 miles southeast of this village, which resulted in the instant death of Fred Roskie, and the serious - and as rumer has it while this is being written (Mon noon) fatal - injury of a little girl, an adopted child of Roskie. The young man, Roskie, was on that fatal day in the wagon, accompanied by his father and the little girl, returning from the field, whither he was hauling manure. Near the house as he was about to turn into the yard, the little girl wanted to get off from the wagon, and while he was helping her down the team got unmanageable, somehow and began to kick and run. The girl fell and got under the wheel, which ran over and broke her leg about the knee. After the team had ran quite a distance getting wilder and wilder the more obstructions they overcame - the father having been already thrown out, as the scene was cleared - they came to a rough marsh, where the "reach" gave way, leaving the forward wheels only fastened to the horses. It appears that Mr. Roskie also in falling got fast to either lines, the whiffle trees, or the wagon gear, so that he was dragged along for quite a distance and striking his head against something his skull was broken causing instant death to all appearances. Mr. Roskie was about twenty six years of age. He was a young man of good sound and exemplary moral character commanding the respect of all and the love of many who knew him. He had been married but a few months; and his sudden death is a severe blow to those nearest and dearest to him. 31 Mar Marquette Independent. A Serious Accident, Resulting in Death On the 4th inst, in the town of Harris; Fred Roskie, was killed by the running away of a young team of horses. . . . long article . . 11 Apr Death of Wright Newhall - a Pioneer of Wisconsin Gone Wright Newhall, whose death is noticed elsewhere in this issue of the Express, was truly one of the pioneers of Wisconsin, having been a resident of this State for 37 years. He was born in the State of New York, in June, 1816. At an early age he emigrated with his parents, farmers by occupation, to the State of Ohio; and afterwards to Indiana and Michigan. In May, 1837, they removed to the then Territory of Wisconsin, and settled in Rock county, taking up a tract of land in the town of Johnstown. . . . . . . . .In Oct, 1870, Wright married Mrs. Elizabeth T Perkins, mother of L A & S D Perkins, of this village. . . . very much interested in the Montello Woolen Mills, purchased an interest in same., . . . took up his permanent residence here. . . . . . . 4 Apr Briggsville Fatal Accident, Suicide, etc. Last Sunday in the town of New Haven, a young man named Lu Ellis, aged about 17, being instantly killed by the accidental discharge of his gun. It seems he was climbing into the hind end of a wagon, having a gun in his hand, and in some way the hammer of the gun caught on the end board, discharging the piece, the contents of which were lodged in his breast, killing him almost instantly.. On Monday evening another horrible affair occurred in the same town, near the village of Big Spring. Amos Lout, an old resident of that place, committed suicide by cutting his throat with a razor. He cut himself four times, nearly severing the head from the body. He had been unwell for some time, and it is thought he did the terrible deed while laboring under a fit of temporary insanity. He leaves a wife and four small children. 4 Apr. Newhall - In this village, after a long and protracted illness, Wright Newhall, aged 57 years and 10 months. 4 Apr. Death of Emmons Taylor - The many friends of Emmons Taylor will be pained to hear of his death, which occurred in Portage last Monday evening, the 13th inst. His disease was called fatty degeneration of the heart. Mr. Taylor was for the past six years District Attorney for Columbia County, and was a prominent lawyer. His funeral took place last Thursday, and was conducted by the Masonic fraternity, of which order he was a prominent and active member at the time of his death, holding the office of Right Eminent Grand Commander of the Knights Templar of the State of Wisconsin. 18 Apr. Hanks - In Montello, April 20th, at 6 o'clock pm of scarlet fever, Ada, aged three years and twenty days, and on April 21st at 9 o'clock am, James Worthy, aged one year six months and three days, only children of David A and Helen Hanks. 18 Apr. A Sad Bereavement - Mr. D A Hanks' children - a bright little girl of three summers and a boy eighteen months old - died this week from scarlet fever. They were taken down with the disease on Monday night of last week, and on Monday evening of this week the girl was called home to be followed next morning by her little brother. None of our citizens will soon forget the touching sight presented on Wed forenoon as the coffins containing the remains of the little ones were borne up the street to the M E church, where the funeral services were held, and the sympathy then felt and expressed for the grief stricken parents in their terrible affliction will remain warm in the bosoms for many a year. 28 April Marquette Independent, & 18 Apr Montello Express. Death of Mr. H Finegan, announced elsewhere, deprives this county of one of its pioneers and a good citizen. Mr. F. was born in Sligo, Ireland, in the year 1798. Upon emigrating to this country he settled on land in what is now the town of Harris, this county, locating there twenty three years ago, and continued to carry on the business of farming until a few years since, when he moved into the village to live with his son. He was noted for his industry and integrity, and leaves many old time friends to mourn his loss and sympathize with his relatives. 14 May Man Drowned in Puckaway Lake - Was it a case of Suicide A German named Ernst Varner was drowned in one of the bayous at the head of Puckaway Lake, last Monday night, while out fishing with a torch light, and under circumstances which lead us to believe that it was a case of suicide while laboring under temporary aberration of mind. Etc.. . . . The deceased resided in the town of Mecan, and leaves a wife and several children to mourn his tragic end.. . . .23 May Body Found - The body of Ernst Varner, whose drowning in Puckaway Lake was noticed at length in our last issue, was found last Tuesday afternoon, on the shore of the lake near Larsen's Point, where it had floated. 30 May Lost in the Flood - Among those swept away in the terrible deluge at Leeds, Mass., on Sat, were Mrs. Jane Cogan and two of her daughters, Grace and Annie. Mrs. Cogan was sister-in-law of William and John Cogan and sister to Mrs. Wm. Cogan, of this village, and resided here for a short time a number of years ago, after the death of her husband, who was drowned in the St. Peter River in MN. There were three daughters in the family; and as two only are reported missing the hope is cherished by friends here that the third, and youngest, escaped the fate of her mother and sisters, whose sudden and terribly tragic death renders the shock doubly severe to their relatives and friends. 23 May A Little Girl Burned to Death - We learn some of the particulars of a sad accident which happened in the town of Harris, last Wed. afternoon, resulting in the death of a little girl three years old, daughter of William Zelmer. Their father was plowing, and the girl and a little brother were in the field with him. There had been some brush burned in the field during the day, but the fire was nearly out, when the children carried some straw and replenished it, causing the fire to blaze up anew, and they were playing around it. The father was in another part of the field, when he heard the children cry, and looking in their direction, saw the little girl's clothes were on fire. He hastened with all speed to her rescue, but when he reached her, the child's clothes were entirely burned off from the body, and she was unable to stand. The little sufferer was immediately taken to the house, and a physician sent for, but she died early Thurs. morning, about twelve hours after the accident, in the most excruciating agony. 23 May Ballentine - In the town of Buffalo, May 25th, James Ballentine, aged 62 years. Graham - In the town of Bufflo, June 2nd, Louden Graham, aged 64 years. 27 Jun. Walsh - In the town of Montello, Monday, June 29th, of bronchial consumption, Mr. Michael Walsh, aged 72 years. 4 July Another Pioneer Gone - Mr Michael Walsh, whose death was announced last week, was, with but two or three exceptions the first white settler in this section. He was born in Queens county, Ireland, in the year 1803. Emigrating to this country in 1849, he came nearly directly to this county, and erected a small cabin on a "claim" about five miles south of here, for the shelter of his family, who joined him shortly afterward. At the time he located there were but two families living in what is now the village of Montello, and but few in the county.. . . . . He was the father of a large family of children. Death came upon the family, and after losing three sons, a daughter and his wife, his own health gave way. Etc. . . .. . 11 July Haynes - In this village, Aug 18th, 1874, Miranda, wife of M B Haynes, aged 62 years and three months. 15 Aug Kendall - In Princeton, on the 31st of Aug, 1874, Neemar Kendall, daughter of Mrs. J H Hubbard, aged 13 years and 2 months.

Roskie - In this village, Sept 7th, 1874, of consumption, Charles F Roskie, aged 71 years, 8 months and 10 days. The deceased was the father of C F and F W Roskie, of this village. The funeral was largely attended at the M E Church last Wed, and was conducted by Rev. Mr. Hoyer, Lutheran minister of Princeton, who preached an excellent sermon in the German language. Potts - In the town of Harris, Sept 10th, 1874, Margaret, wife of Alex Potts, Sen., aged about 64 years. 12 Sept.

Mrs. Lowe was well known and highly esteemed here under her maiden name of Maggie Fallon, and had numerous friends, who will sincerely sympathize with the bereaved husband in his terrible affliction. The remains of Mrs. Lowe were brought to this village and interred in the Catholic Cemetery on Tues. afternoon. 3 Oct. Kendall - At Princeton, Sept 29, 1874, of typhoid fever, Frederick Grant Kendall, son of Mrs. J H Hubbard, aged 9 years and 2 months. Only four short weeks ago the sadly bereaved parent was called to stand by the deathbed of a dearly loved daughter, just blossoming into womanhood, and now Freddy, for whom such fond hopes had been cherished, has gone to his long home in the realms above. Oh, the anguish of a grief-stricken mother! It was terrible to behold. The heartfelt sympathies of our entire community are tendered her in this hour of sore affliction. Freddy Kendall was an unusually bright and interesting little boy, and was a general favorite among his play- fellows, and with all who knew him, young and old. The remains were brought to this village on Wed, and interred in the cemetery here. 3 Oct. Leonard - In Montello, on Monday evening, Sept 28, the infant son of Martin and Margaret J Leonard, aged 10 days. 3 Oct. Neef - In the town of Mecan, on Monday morning, Dec 21, 1874, of cerebro-spinal meningitis. Henry, sone of William and Mary E Neef, aged 2 years and 8 months. Delano - In Ripon, on Wed. morning, Dec. 16, 1874, after a long illness, Mrs. Jane K, wife of Mr. J L Delano. Mrs. Delano was a resident of this village for a number of years and was highly esteemed by all acquainted with her, as a most worthy lady. 19 Dec. Attempted Murder and Suicide at Princeton - Sat. noon this village was startled by a report that a young man in Princeton had murdered his wife's parents - winding up the old man's career on earth by cutting his throat across and disposing of the old lady by crushing in her skull with a club, and that the assassin had been arrested, and finally lynched by a mob. Now it is reported that the case is entirely different, there being no truth in the above. It seems that a German named Andreas S Walters had some difficulty with a female of doubtful character, and knocked her down with a stick of wood, or something else of equally pursuasive power. Fearing he had killed her, he undertook to take his own life by cutting his throat, in which laudable attempt he very nearly succeeded, as it is said when he was found be could not breathe through his mouth or nostrils, there being a slit in his windpipe. He was conscious, however, and intimated that a man named John Kiefer did the deed. Kiefer was arrested, but, we understand, established his innocence and was released. The old man's throat was sewed up, and he will recover. The woman is around on her taps again. As the above is written from hearsay and conficting reports, we do not vouch for its correctness, but give it for what it is worth. 19 Dec Westfield Grange No 309 officers Robert Cochran . . .Master E A Smith . . .Overseer Samuel Tanner . . .

Grand Celebration in Montello on July 4th, large article 27 Jun & 11 July Removal of Rev. James O'Malley At the conclusion of services at the Catholic Church in this village, last Sunday, Rev. James O'Malley, the pastor, surprised and grieved his parishioners by announcing to them that he had been removed by the administrator of the Diocese of Green Bay, from the pastorals of this Church and ordered to Oskhosh. Father O'Malley has been pastor of the Montello Church for about three years, and during that short time has accomplished a world of good, endearing himself to his people by his unceasing efforts for their welfare, and gaining the highest regard of all classes, without respect to denomination. Montello can ill afford to lose the valuable services of Rev. James O'Malley; but what is our loss is Oshkosh's gain. He goes to St. Peter's Church of Oshkosh, where we trust he may become as deservedly popular as he is here. The place mad vacant here by Father O'Malley's removal will be filled by Rev. Mr. DeWilt, from Little Schute. 1 Aug Candidate for Sheriff - I hereby announce myself as a candidate for the office of Sheriff of Marquette County, and respectfully solicit the nomination for that office by the Reform Convention, to be held at Montello on the 10th of October.
