The town board of the town of
Weston, comprised of John d.
Christie, chairman, Frank Wanta and
Louis Baker, met Saturday for the
purpose of considering petitions which
had been presented for and against the
Echanging of the Wausau-Steyens Point
roadway, for a certain section, east of
the st. Paul Ry. tracks. The Mara
thon Paper Mills Co. which purchased
land on both sides of the roadway
south of the street car company's
pavilion, asked permission to change
the road so that it will cross the rail-
way tracks at point northeast of the
pavilion and then join the old road
way at point south of the company's
lands. The company claims that it
needs the land for yards also that it
intends building number of switches
in its yards which would interfere
with travel on the road, etc.
The principal director was VIM. f..
Hewitt. The paper mills Company
was represented by Atty's. Neal
Brown and Fred Genrich; the town
board had as an advisor, Atty. H. H.
Manson, while the petitioners against
the scheme were unrepreSented. The
matter was finally settled agreeably
to all concerned and the road will be
changed as petitioned for by the
paper mills company

and of its people, and this, with her
loyable nature, drew around her hosts
OF friends, all of whom received the
sad news-of her death yesterday with
deep sorrow and feeling of great
personal loss.
The timber owned by Knox Bros. in
this locality having all been manu-
featured, they dissolved partnership,
and Samuel Knox sought millions of
standing pine in the country north
west of the head of the great lakes,
then long ways from civilization,
and in company with w. @. Winton,
built modern saw mill at Fall Lake,
three miles from Ely, in 1892, with a
supply of timber to last ten years.
This took from Wausau, in 1892-to
the great regret of its people-Mr
and Mrs. Knox, who have since re-
sided in Duluth, though often visit
ing in Wausau, at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. A. l.. Kreutzer, and have kept
up and renewed their friendships in
this city. For nearly fifty years they
had travelled happily down life's path
way together, each helpmate to the
other, sharing what came to them in
prosperity and adversely, and always
meeting distractions with that opti-
mistic spirit which makes life worth
the living. 1t was this spirit, this
determination to reach out into new
fields, that finally brought to them
wealth and prosperity.
There are left to mourn this good
woman's loss, a husband and two
daughters Mrs. A. L. Kreutzer of
this city, and Mrs. w. G. Winton of
Duluth ,
