Frank Morrell, of Rhinelander is
spending a few days in Dancy visiting
friends and relatives.
F. M. Deuteh, of Wausau, was in
this village Friday, conducting the
funeral of the late Mrs. S. Wheaton.
Miss Ella Marchel visited friends in
Wausau last Monday, and in the even
ing attended the Railway ball given in
Elks' hall.
John Loughlin, of Dorchester, who is
student of Milwaukee Medical col
lege, visited relatives in this village the
past week, on his way home from col
lege.
III. F. Andre, of Baraboo, who re-
Gently purchased land near this village,
returned here the past week to do some
improving on his property. Mr.. Andre
is painter and decorator by trade
and has already secured quite little
work to do in that line.
George Tophan Sr. who runs q livery
in this village, seems to be kept busy,
being on the road going out through
the country good share of the time.
There is no reason why livery would
not do well right here, as there is big
country tributary to this place, that is
being rapidly developed, which natur-
ally brings more travel from outside,
together with the travelling men, who
seem to be increasing in numbers each
year.
Joe Welland, who has spent the past
year in Oregon, returned home a few
days ago, and through the list of mar
riage licenses recently taken out at
Wausau, we find that his return here is
due to the fact that he decided to take
unto himself wife, The young lady
of his choice being Miss Sophy La
Charita, of the town of Emmett. The
groom made this place his home all
his life, up to few years ago, when
his mother moved to WauSau, and has
many warm friends all through this
locality who extend to himself and wife
their heartiest congratulations. Mr.
and Mrs. Welland will leave for Port
land, Oregon, in a few days, where
they expect to make their future home.
Mr.. and Mrs. G. G. Knoller and Miss
Gula Hobbs were those from here who
were Merrill visitors Sunday, May 27th,
going up to attend the banquet etc.,
given by the Knights of Columbus, a
lodge K-C having been installed in that
city on above date. They report
having been royalty entertained. Dur
ing the afternoon a musical and literary
program was carried out in Elks' hall
for the ladies, followed by a banquet in
the evening at the Badger hotel, to
which about $50 Knights and ladies
attended from different parts of the
state. Mr.. and Mrs Knoller returned
home Monday noon. Miss Hobbs
stopped in Wausau and visited friends,
and in the evening attended the ball in
Elks' hall
On Memorial day, at her home, near
this village, occurred the death of Mrs.
Simeon Wheaton, after an illness of
few weeks with anemia. Mrs. Wheaton
whose maiden name was Mary Moe,
was born June. 1848, in Norway. On
Thanksgiving day, 1874, at the old
Wheaton homestead town of Eau
Pleine, Portage county, she was united in
marriage to Simeon Wheaton. Of this
union seven children were born, all of
whom are living; they are William, of
Grand Rapids, Mimi; Charley, Elmer.
Bert, Guy, Rufus and Mrs. Charles
Davis, all of whom live in and near this
place. In the death of this good lady,
her family has lost one of the most kind
and faithful of wives and mothers, and
the community has lost a kind and
obliging friend and neighbor-one who
was ever ready to extend a helping
hand in sickness, or at any time.
The funeral was held from the M. Z.
church, Friday afternoon, and was
largely attended, the church being too
small to accommodate all, many being
obliged to remain outside. Rev. Ulen,
of the Norwegian Lutheran church, of
Wausau, preached the funeral sermon,
making mention in same, that all he
heard of the deceased were "good
words" A choir composed of Mes
danes g. G. Knoller and NJ. h. Alien
burg, of Dancy, and Mr.. w. j. Bright,
of Knowlton, sang some very beautiful
and appropriate hymns. The pail
bearers were John, Thomas and George
Altenburg, Albert Oleson, William Cas-
sells and Charles Peppenheimer. Out
of respect for the deceased the saw and
planning mill of Altenburg and Stoddard
was shut down and school closed Fri
day afternoon to enable all to attend
the funeral and interment, which was
in Knowlton cemetery. The floral
