Selected excerpts from the Appleton Cresent, Appleton, Outagamie Co., Wisconsin, originally posted to the WIOUTAGA-L mailing list by Joyce

A peculiar state of affairs exists in the agriculture districts of Menasha,
which leads us to the belief that Menasha is soon to be the scene of
perpetual summer. At the home of Wallace SAWYER, on Tayco Street, an apple
tree gives rise to this pleasant suspicion by sending forth an array of
blossoms as beautiful as any in the customary season of spring time.
The tree has already borne its usual crop of apples and is now heavily laden
with a second display of blossoms, It is not thought that the tree will bear
the second crop of fruit as cold weather is too near at hand. But there is
room for hope that the trees have discovered the coming of perpetual summer
to this section of the country far in advance of the weather man.--Menasha
Record.

He Gave His Life for His Country
John GRASSBERGER died yesterday of Disease Contracted in Philippines.

John P. GRASSBERGER died last night at the home of his father J. Paul
GRASSBERGER on College Avenue at the age of 25 years. Death was due to
Bright's disease, caused by malaria fever contracted while serving in the
army in the Philippines.

He is survived by a father, one brother and three sisters. The funeral will
be held Saturday morning at 0 o'clock from St. Joseph's church, under the
auspices of the Charles O. BAER Camp of the Spanish American Way Veterans.
Members of the camp will act as pallbearers.

John P. GRASSBERGER was born in this city. At the outbreak of the Spanish
War he enlisted in Company G, and served through the Porto Rican [sic] campaign.
After his discharge from Company G he enlisted in the Sixth United State
Infantry which went to the Philippines. He served in the islands over two
years, when he contracted malarial fever and was sent to a hospital in San
Francisco, where he remained until able to come home. The fever never left
his system, and finally developed into Bright's Disease, which caused his
death.

Members of Charles O. BARE Camp are requested to meet at the new armory
Saturday morning at 8:30 o'clock."
