DIES AFTER LONG ILLNESS
Deceased Was a Native of Kenosha
County and Had Spent Nearly all of
His Life in Kenosha. Served City
as Assessor for More Than IS Years

Henry W. Bienemann, aged So years,
one of the assessors of the city for
the past thirteen years and man
widely known in Kenosha, died at his
home on Durkee avenue at six clock
Sunday morning following long ILL.,
ness from tunor of the stomach. AS
SCISSOR Bienemann had been confined
to his bed for the past five months
and for many weeks his friends had
been fearful that the end was near.
The assessor was first stricken in
February last, but he recovered some
what from the first attack and began
his regular work as assessor late in
March He continued at work until
early in July when his condition be-
came such that he was forced to give
up his work. A week later he went TO
one of the Chicago hospitals for an
operation and three weeks later he re-
turned to his home. At that time his
close friends and relatives appreciated
tvhat he could not recover from his
malady. He had been hopeful of re-
covery himself until a few weeks ago.
Henry w. Bienemann was q native
of Kenosha county. He was son of
Joseph Bienemann, one of the pioneer
settlers of the county and was born
in the village of New Munster in tie
town of Wheatland June IL, 1857. Ha
came to Kenosha as boy and thirty.
seven years ago went to work in the
paint shop of the Balm Wagon Com
pany. His relations with the company
had been maintained up to the time
of his death, he working in the factory
during the months that he was not en-.
gagged in his duties as assessor. Mr..
Bienemann was first elected an asses
sor in the city fifteen years ago and
he served the city since that time with
the exception of two years at which
time he declined to seek the nominal
ton for the Office. In his eng service
he became expert as an assessor and
he had been regarded as chairman of
of years. He had part in the early
work of the board this year, hut he
was forced to give up the regular
work shortly after the first two wards
had been assessed. Mr.. Bienemann
was democrat in politics and FIR
years had been considered one of the
leaders of the democracy of Kenosha
county. Ha took an active interest
in the work Of the party and had been
q member of the party committee for
gears.
He is survived by his widow and six
children, Henry R., James L., Edward
H., Ida NJ Bienemann, Mrs. John
schmitt and Earl j. Bienemann ali Of
Kenosha.
Assessor Bienemann was very popb.
lar with his fellow officials in the city
and many expressions of regret were
heard among the officials at the city
hall this morning. Mayor Head and
members of the common council as
well as the other officials of the city
will attend the funeral on Wednesday
afternoon. Assessor Bienemann was
elected for new term at the election
Of 1912 and his term of office would
not have expired until May Of 1914.
AS the work of making the assessment
is not started until after the charter
election it is probable that no action
to nalne successor will be taken I'M
til the regular spring election is held.

JUDGE TAYLOR As A LEADER
Judges Fight Shy of Any Recommen
dation in Regard to the Inheritance
Tax Law but Appreciate the Need
of More Equitable Division of Tax.

2
this city, is to be one of the members
of the committee of legislation of the
County Judges Association of th5
state and it is expected that this COM
mittee will make many suggestions to
the legislature bearing on laws which
will improve conditions in the probate
courts Of the state. These important
matters were taken up at the annual
meeting of the judges held in Mil
waukee on Friday and Saturday and
the meeting proved to De the most
important gathering Of probate officials
ever held in the state.
The probate judges want to make
it as easy as possible to secure a
speedy settlement of estates in the
state and to this end we feel that some
new laws should be- enacted" said
Judge Taylor, in speaking Of the meet
ing this morning. we believe that
better provisions should be made for
widows under the Wisconsin laws.
At the present time the widows por-
tion is household furniture to the
value Of $3.50 and 5000 in cash. We
believe that the widow should be en-
titled to all of the household fnrni-
ture. We are still hammering away
at the plan to secure uniform work in
all the courts of the state and we
feel that this effort has brought re-
suits. Most papers used in the vari-
Gus counties for probate work are now
uniform and with a little legislation
along these lines we believe that the
counties will all be brought under this
uniform plan. The value of having
all documents of this sort uniform has
been proven everywhere where the
plan has been adopted. The members
of the association were inclined to
fight shy of the big question of divl-
sion of the inheritance tax. This law
is one that the judges must follow, but
many Of them realize the injustice of
the present law and believe that a
change should be made SO that larg-
er amount of the inheritance tax will
be left in the counties in which it is
paid. No formal action on this line
was taken by the association, but I
understand that many of the county
boards of the state have passed reso-
lutions suggesting the change in the
law TO leave this money in the ccun-
ties. Kenosha county has paid into
the state treasury vast amount of
inheritance tax in the past few years
and it certainly would have been a
great thing for the county if the lion s
share Of this money could have been
left in the county treasury
The county judges declare that pro-
bate laws in Wisconsin are decidedly
up to date and that with few changes
which have been suggested Wisconsin
will rank high with the other states
of the union in this regard. The aim
of all new laws proposed is to make
it easier to secure the settlement of
estates without long delays and at the
same tine insure to the heirs the prop.
er protection of their property.

in sight to fill the vacancy, but a CON-
mittee with NJ. S. Moss as chairman,
was named to have charge of the work

mock will begin his w6 il the
