News reached this city Wednesday morning that Nicholas Frank, assessor of the town of Woodville, dropped dead at his home at 8:30 o'clock on Tuesday evening from heart trouble. Mr. Frank left home Tuesday morning for Chilton to attend the county meeting of assessors held here. Before leaving he bade good bye to his wife who was making preparations to leave with her daughter for Germany on the next train north. He arrived here at 8:00 and shortly after the editor of The Times has a pleasant visit with him. He was apparently in good health, cheerful and full of reminiscence of early days. He atten-ded the meeting and took part in the discussion and late in the afternoon took the freight train for Hilbert, where he took supper at the Behnke Hotel, leaving shortly after eight o'clock for his home at St. John. When he entered the home his daughter asked him if he had supper and he responded in the affirmative. Then without warning he passed away. The family was greatly alarmed and summoned a physician but when he arrived he found Mr. Frank had gone beyond recall.

Nick Frank was a native of Germany and was born Jan. 12, 1839. When a small boy he came to America with his parents who remained a few years in the east and then located in Wisconsin. In 1859 they moved to Calumet county and located on a farm near St. John. Mr. Frank took an active part in the upbuilding of his town and represented it as chair-man for several terms. He also held the position of assessor for years and was considered a man of good judgment. He held the office of justice of peace and there was considerable business transacted in his court. He was a man who had ideas of his own and was not afraid to express his opinion.

A sad incident. in connection with his death was the fact that his wife who started for Germany on the same morning his demise, had not yet heard of. the deplorable occurrence. An effort was made to reach her while enroute for New York before she embarked for Europe, but at this writing, her family were unable to get word to her.

The telegraphie announcement Sunday morning of the death at Washington city of Mr. J. Walton Finch, correspondent of the Boston Post, came with sorrowful forces to those who knew him best in Wisconsin. We are not positive concerning his age or nativity, but believe he was born in the State of New Jersey, and to have been about twenty-three years of age. His father, Mr. C. W. Fitch, former editor of the Manitowoc Herald, and afterward of the Racine Journal, was for many years identified with the interest of Wisconsin, and as a public journalist, well know to its citizens. Firch jr., was bred to the profession of journalism in his father's office so far us its duties could prepare him, and subsequently sought and obtained positions of wilder distinction and usefulness. Cut off in the opening of a promising career his early death will leave a void tot he hearts of all who knew him.-Milwaukee News.

Language cannot portray the keen sorrow we felt when we read the above announcement. We were a member of his parents' household for nearly four years and the intimate relations which existed between the deceased and ourself, during his boyhood days, causes us to mourn his untimely decease the same as if he were a younger and favorite brother. Time alone can alleviate the heart-rendering sorrow which now afflicts that once happy household, and we can only extend to the distressed parents our deep felt sympathy in this sad hour of their bereavement.

The following obituary notice of the deceased we find in the Washington National Intelligencer.

He was born in Newton, Sessex county, New Jersey, March 1, 1841 and died in the city of Georgetown, D. C. Aug. 10, 1867, after a lingering illness of eight weeks. His early education consisted of home instruction, conducted by his parents and private tutors, and he entered upon the study of law in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to which city his parents had removed; but his extremely delicate health prevented him from completing his studies, and he entered upon his editorial career before he was twenty-one, as local editor of the Milwaukee Daily News. During the last year of the war he was army correspondent of the New York Herald, with the 9th corps, and his letters. Over his own signature, were always read with interest, and possessed the peculiar merit of being graphic and truthful. At the close of the war he was transferred to the Herald bureau as one of the regular Washington correspondents, which position he filled until engaged as chief correspondent of the Boston Post, a place made vacant by his death.

Possessed of genial temper, ready wit, and keen perception, he was a most agreeable companion as well as a ready and entertaining writer; and his vigor of intellect so far exceeded his physical strength as to hasten him on to a youthful termination of his promising career.

His letters written from Saratoga last summer to the Post will be remembered as evidence of his rare ability. Among others, his letter giving a description of "fashionable gambling" was republished in a large number of papers. His last letters were written from the West, while he was accompanying the Pacific railroad tourist.

The editor of the Post, in his editorial notice of the deceased, makes use of the following language: "He had the natural quickness of observation and discrimination so essential to a correspondent of a daily paper. His style was close and terse in a dispatch, and flowingly pleasant in a letter, where amplification was not only allowable but essential."

During all the phases of his last illness his patience and cheerfulness were remarkable, and his last moments really beautiful. He was perfectly conscious that his end was a near, and he went down into the "dark valley" with composure and sublime resignation.

On the morning of his death he partook of the holy communion with great satisfaction, and when too weak to speak he took the hand of each of the members of his father's family respectively, affectionately kissing them a last farewell. A few moments afterward he quietly passed away-so quietly, as serenely that his friends did not realize he was dead form some moments after he had ceased in breathe.
"and thus did his unfettered soul Bo forth from earth to heaven"

In 1828 she was married to John Forkin and after living in their native land, happy and contented for a number of years, they concluded to come to America. In the year 1845 they came to the United States, settling in the state of Rhode Island, where they remained until 1853, when they moved to Wisconsin and located in the town of Chilton, this county. By hard and industrious labor she and her husband succeeded in turning a dense forest into a beautiful home. To the early settlers they were known for their generosity and hospitatity and the latch string was found always on the outside, ready for those who might come to pay them a visit. Many are the happy days spent under the roof of this kind old lady and her husband by young and old in the years gone by. She was a loving mother and wife, a kind neighbor and a devout christian. Some six years ago she was stricken down with paralysis and up to the time of her death has been an almost helpless invalid. Her husband preceeded her to that great beyond where he awaited her coming. He died in June, 1889. She leaves five sons and three daughters to mourn her death. Her funeral took place from St. Augustine Church, of which she was a member, on Firday and was largely attended.

Wednesday morning last the lamp which has burned so brightly in the life of John Forkin, Sr., went out and his spirit fled to the world beyond. The deceased has been a rugged man and was never seriously ill during his long life. Two weeks ago he visited our city and appeared to be well and hearty. On Tuesday of last week he was taken ill and gradually grew worse until relieved by Him who does all things well, and taken to the world beyond.

The deceased was born in the county Mayo, Ireland, on the 24th of June, 1803. He was married at the age of 23, and in 1837 left his home for America to better his condition. He landed at Quebec, Canada, and from there came to the United States. He worked at his trade in the manufactories of the eastern states. After remaining here three years, he returned to Ireland and remained until 1845, when he brought his family to this country, landing in Boston. He worked with Sprague Manufacturing Company, of Providence, Rhode Island, until 1853 when he moved to Wisconsin, locating on a farm in the town of Chilton. He was a hard working and industrious man, and succeeded in transforming a dense wilderness into a beautiful farm. He was a loving husband and indulgent father, and a kind and obliging neighbor and friend. During the early period of this county, his home was the headquarters of his neighbors and friends, and many of the early settlers speak in the highest praise and with pleasure of the hospitalities shown by him. He was a devout christian and a member of the Catholic church.

For the past four years his partner and beloved wife has been an invalid, and unable to leave her bed. He was her constant companion, and nothing which was in his power to do, was left undone for her comfort. A wife, five sons and three daughters, besides many relatives, mourn his death.

She grew to womanhood in Stoney Brook and in 1865 was united in marriage to James Forkin. After marriage she and her husband lived about two years at Stoney Brook on a farm and then moved to Providence, R.I. where they made their home for three years, returning to Calumet county. After residing here for a couple of years they left for Minnesota where they lived until 1884 at which time they returned to Chilton. In 1886 Mr. and Mrs. Forkin moved to Sheboygan, which city has been their home until called to their reward. Mr. Forkin preceeded his wife in death some fourteen years ago. Eight children were born to their union, three of who are living, Mrs. Henry O'Hara of the town of Holland, Sheboygan county, James A. Forkin and Miss Florence Forkin of Sheboygan.

Calumet County's first traffic fatality of 1962 was recorded last Thursday afternoon when the collision of a small foreign car and a truck took the life of Paul N. Fox, 58, R1 Hilbert.

Fox's two door Saab collided with a truck driven by Clarence G Grupe, 30, Cleveland, at the intersection of County Trunk E and A Town Road at 2:45 p.m.

His daughter, Alice 18, a passenger, also was thrown from the car. She has been in critical condition with a broken leg and hand and body injuries.

A Stockbridge physician, called to the scene about 2.5 miles east of Stockbridge said Fox, who had been thrown from the car, probably died "just about instantly."

The foreign car was demolished. County Patrolmen Don Kossman and Vic Juno said the truck was traveling west on the county trunk and the Fox vehicle south on the town road.

Grupe, who was driving a poultry truck owned by Gilbert Belitz, Clevland said Fox did not stop for the arterial sign and drove over the highway in front of the truck. High snow banks at the corner blocked visibility somewhat police said.

Grupe said he applied the brakes, but it was too late to avoid the collision. The truck hit the tiny car broad side.

The impact threw the truck atop a high snowbank and the car alongside the bank.

Officer Kossman said Miss Fox who is a senior at St. Gregory High School, St. Nazianz was unconscious at the scene and was in a state of shock.

The truck sustained only slight damages and Grupe was not hurt. The car was not equipped with seat belts.

Mrs. Fox who was in Chicago visiting a son, returned home immediately. Fox was an employee of the Chilton Co-op. He and his daughter were on their way home at the time of the accident.

Last year at this time there were three traffic fatalities in Calumet County.

Funeral services were set for Mr. Fox Monday at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Stockbridge. Survivors include the widow, five daughters, three sons, two brothers, three sisters and 14 grandchildren.

On Saturday afternoon, Aug 11, Peter Fuchs passed away at his home on Reid Street following an illness of five weeks. Mr. Fuchs had been in poor health for nearly a year past but was able to be up and around until some five weeks ago when he was forced to remain in his bed, falling rapidly until the end came.

The deceased was born May 24th, 1835, at Wincheringen, Kreis Saarburg, Germany, where he remained until 1861 when he immigrated to this country, coming direct to Chicago. He found employment in that city and in 1865 was married to Elizabeth Britten. In 1868 they came to Wisconsin locating on a tract of land near Lomira, Dodge County, remaining there ten years and then coming to Calumet County where they purchased a portion of what was known as the Thomas Lynch farm in the town of Chilton. He was industrious, thrifty and saving a combination of excellent habits, that are sure to win success and this was the result of Mr. Fuchs useful life. In 1895 he retired from active farm work and with his wife moved to this city purchasing a home on Reid Street. His wife died on March 9, 1907, and since that time his daughter, miss Katherine, has taken charge of the home. Mr. Fuchs' life was a quiet one and although loyal and true as a citizen he was not given to mixing up in public affairs. His home and agricultural pursuits engaged his time until he retired from active work, his declining years being given to reading the events of the day and to the companionship of his family and friends. He was a practical member of the Catholic church, attending services regularly and giving liberally to the needs. He was well liked by his neighbors, both in Chilton town and this city, and it is safe to say that he had not an enemy in the world. He is survived by four sons: Nick of Hollandtown, John J. of Chilton town, Math J. of Manitowoc, and Peter J. at home and a daughter, Miss Katherine at home. He also leaves fifteen grand children.

The funeral was held Tuesday morning from St. Mary's Church, Rev. Fr. L. N. Thelen celebrating Requiem Mass, with interment in the family lot in St. Mary's cemetery. Those from outside attending were Mr. and Mrs. Nick Fuchs, and family of Hollandtown, Mr. and Mrs. Math Fuchs and family of Manitowoc, Peter W Fochs and son Math of Marathon City, Anton Fochs and son Reuben of Evanston, Illinois, Mr. and Mrs. M. T. Fochs of Eland, Mrs. Joe Traxl and daughter, Elizabeth of Chicago, Mrs. M Arens of Green Bay, Mrs. Thos, Bowe of Milwaukee, Miss. Mary Fuchs of Waukesha, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Arendt of Port Washington.

Death came on Tuesday afternoon shortly after 2:30 o'clock to end the suffering of Peter J. Fochs, respected citizen of this city, who had been seriously ill since last November with no hope of recovery. Mr. Fochs was forced to retire from active business about a year ago on account of poor health and last November entered a hospital at Appleton but gaining no relief returned to his home here where he was made as comfortable as possible. His condition grew worse and about a week relatives realized the end was near. Death was truly a relief to him for his last days were filled with extreme pain and suffering.

Peter J. Fochs, son of the late Peter and Elizabeth Fochs, was born on a farm in Chilton town on March 22, 1881. He spent his boyhood with his parents on the farm and when they moved to this city some twenty years ago he came with them. He secured employment under Robert Ott and learned the well drilling business, a few years later becoming a partner in the business from Mrs. Ott. Later he purchased the entire business and up to a year ago was actively engaged in drilling wells in this vicinity. Even though handicapped by continued ill health he lead a busy useful life and courageously "carried on" until called to his reward. His pleasing disposition and human interest in the lives of others drew people to him and his death is a source of sorrow to all that knew him. He was unmarried and since the death of his parents he and his sister, Miss Katherine, lived together in the family home on Reid Street.

The funeral was held on Friday morning at 9:30 o'clock from St. Mary's church in this city. Rev. Fr. L.H. Thelen officiating with interment in St. Mary's cemetery.

At 7:30 o'clock Thursday evening, Jan. 28th, death came peacefully to Julius Feind, one of the prominent and influential residents of our city. Mr. Feind had been in poor health for some months and although his death was not unexpected it is none the less fraught with sorrow to his numerous friends and fellow townsmen.

Julius Feind was born in the province of Hanover, Germany, March 21, 1828. There he obtained a thorough common school education and for some years previous to coming to America was manager of a large estate owned by Duke Kilsmanseege. In 1858 he imigrated to this country and found employment on a farm in Fond du Lac county. A few years later he purchased a farm in the town of Friendship, that county, but remained there only a short time, coming to Calumet county and purchasing a farm in the town of Charlestown in 1864. Owing to poor health which continued for two years he gave up farming and returned to Fond du Lac and also traveled extensively through the south and west. In 1866 he engaged in business at Marytown, Fond du Lac county with the late Chas. F. Holtz, conducting a store and hotel for a short time. The same year he left Marytown and came to Chilton where he purchased the mercantile business of Henry Hoffman which was located on Main street in the building now owned by H.A.Kroll. This venture lasted only a few months when he sold out to the late Wm. Paulsen and, forming a partnership with James LaCount, purchased the Chilton House. He later purchased Mr. LaCount's interest and then sold the property to the late Fred Esser. His next business venture was the purchase of a harness shop in this city which he conducted a short time and then launched into the real estate business dealing extensively and successfully in this line of business until his health failed him. In 1880 he built the Feind block which he sold several years ago to Henry Rollmann. In 1901 he was one of the prime movers in establishing the Chilton National Bank and was elected president of that institution, which position he held at the time of his death.

Julius Feind's entire life was one of great usefulness. He was an indefatigable, systematic worker and whatever venture he undertook he invariably carried to a successful termination. He knew no such word as fail; his courage and faith, added to an unusual perseverance and ability to execute, compelling success in projects which would be total failure to one less shrewd and gifted. He was a man of sound judgment in business affairs and many of his friends and townsmen were the gainers by asking his advice and following his suggestions. He was given charge of many large estates during the past thirty years of his life, always managing them to the great advantage of those interested. He seemed to be specially adapted to this kind of work, husbanding resources and making every dollar count for the owner.

Mr. Feind never married and although a man who tended strictly to his own affairs he kept in touch with passing events in the community and took a sympathetic interest in the success of his neighbors. He made no pretense of religion in the orthodox sense of the word but his life was that of a good, upright man, doing his duty always , as he saw it and exercising charity to deserving individuals whose wants came to his notice. Many poor people in this section could tell if they chose to do so of his generosity and aid, given at a time when such aid was needed.

Mr. Feind was a member of the Masonic lodge and although for some years he had not taken an active part in the workings of that body he adhered strictly to its teachings.

The funeral will be held tomorrow, Sunday, afternoon.

At 7:30 o'clock Thursday evening, Jan. 28th, death came peacefully to Julius Feind, one of the prominent and influential residents of our city.

Julius Feind was a brother of our former citizen, Edward Feind, deceased, and made many visits to our city. He owned considerable land in this vicinity.

Notwithstanding the almost impassable condition of roads leading to this city and the cold weather, a large number of friends and neighbors from this city and vicinity gathered together at the Turner Hall on Sunday afternoon to pay the last tribute to Julius Feind, who died on Thursday evening, Jan. 28. Friends who had known the deceased intimately for over forty years braved the weather and it was made evident that they will miss him. The local choir sang several selections and Hon. J. E. McMullen delivered a very touching eulogy, giving a brief history of the part Mr. Feind had taken in building up this community both in a financial way and by his good deeds and straight forward life. The remains were then escorted to the Breed cemetery for interment and at the grave G. M. Morrissey made a few appropriate remarks. The gentlemen who acted as pall bearers had been connected with Mr. Feind in the Chilton National Bank, they were Mitchell Joannes, W. P. Wagner, W. J. Paulsen, W. N. Knauf, Andrew Noll and Dr. T. J. Glenn.

Those from out of town in attendance at the funeral were Louis Rollmann , wife, son Julius and daughter Helen, Albert Wippermann and wife of Shawano, Alfred Rollmann of Merrill, Reinhard Fricke, Gustav Wernecke of Fond du Lac, Henry Meyer and wife of Colby, Mitchell Joannes and W.
