DEATHOF
JOHANNA
REGANBURNS

AS time passes its the sad duty of
relatives and friends to lay away in
their final resting place, old citizens,
whose life enters into more or less
prominently, the life history of Grand
Rapids and Wood county. Mr.. and
Mrs. Burns came to this locality over
sixty years ago. They raised large
family Of children, on a beautifully
located farm on the road which leads
to Biron, Wis, a distance of three
miles from this city. In the early days
there was a saw mill located at Bir-
on and that has given way to large
papermill and a beautiful village, mo-
dern in every respect. This has been
accomplished since Mrs. Burns resid-
ed in this locality. Mr.. Burns is dead
and the children have all grown to
man and womanhood married and gone
away from Grand Rapids. The mother
resided here, until four years ago. She
moved to Chicago to reside with her
oldest daughter, Mrs. W. C. Shipard,
West Chicago, with whom she was
living when she died. Mrs. Burns died
of old age, simply passed off in sleep.
Johanna Regan Burns, was born
December 20, 1858, at Queenstown,
Ireland and was sc years of age when
she passed away. She came to Wood
county in the early SOS and died June
3, 1917, at West Chicago, H., where
she has been living for the past four
years with her daughter. Her father
died at the age of SO, her mother died
at the age of 106. A brother died last
December at Sedro-W Wooley, Washing
ton, at the age of "a, and her sister
Ellen, is still living in Iowa and she
is in her 101 year. She is survived by
| five children, Mrs. W. G. Shipard of
West Chicago, Ill, Albert H. and EN-
met R. Burns of Calispell, Mont, Wal
ter H. Burns of Bingham, Utah, and
Byron F. Burns of Seattle, Washing
ton. From the above record it shows
that she belonged to a family Of lon
gevity. Those who enjoyed the ac-
quaitance of Mrs. Burns will remem-
ber her as an exemplary woman, a de,
Ioted mother, and an excellent friend
and neighbor.

DEATH Of
NEWTON MILLS

Word was received Tuesday by F.
J. Wood, that his old time friend New
ton Mills, of Chippewa Falls, had died
and that his remains would be brought
to Grand Rapids for burial. Mr.. Mills
was a long time resident of Grand
Rapids, in fact he learned his trade
as machinist in the Rablin Foundry in
this city at the same time Edward Ma
honey did, in the year 1874. He was
the owner of four hundred acre farm
at the mouth of the seven mile creek
in the town of Saratoga on the east
side of the Wisconsin river. He and
his wife have been making annual Wis
its to Grand Rapids where he has al
ways felt at home and had material
interests here. Ever since he left
Grand Rapids he has had interest with
the Weyerhouser Company with head
quarters in Chippewa Falls, where he
has beautiful home. He was a man
about IS years of age and always had
been of robust health. The funeral
service will be in charge of Grand
Rapids Lodge No. 128 F. & A. M. of
which he was a member. The funer-
al service will take place Wednesday

J.A. HOFFMAN
PASSES On

We take the following account of
Mr.. Hoffman's death from the Marsh
field News:

prominent men of this county, and an
early settler of this city, highly es-
teemed by everyone who knew him, is
no more. He passed away at hsi home
at 4O8 South Cherry street at about II
o'clock, noon, Wednesday after a long
illness. Death was thought to have
been due to cancer of the stomach.
He was confined to his home for
about two months. Altho he rallied
at times, renewing hopes of an ulti-
mate recovery, his life gradually ebbed
away. He was conscious up to few
inmates before his end.
=, Hoffman was born in Shebov-
gan county and would have been SO
years old August Is next. He came to
this city about 35 years ago and was a
leading figure in the life of the CITY
PAS@NSASoAAS OH Vic ySClIS IudL lie IlNpu

dray business. Later he conducted a
coal, lime and cement business. This
he sold about four years ago.

urer and alderman and the county as
register of deeds. Among other pub.
lie offices he held was that of chief of

honor and credit.

OBITUARY

Morris kleberg, was the oldest son
Of Mr. and Mrs. A. H, Kleberg, resi-
dents of this city, was drowned while
bathing Sunday afternoon, June 10,
1917. He was born in the village of
Nekoosa, on the 7th day of April, 1901
and was just past his sixteenth birth
day. He was educated in the public
schools of Nekoosa and Grand Rap
ids. He had just completed his second
year in high school last week. He was
very popular with his school mates and
was the pride and ambition of his mo-
ther and father, who looked forward
for bright future for the boy. He
was kind and considerate of his par
ents, and assisted his father on Satur-
days and vacations in the conduct of
his mercantile store in the village of
Plover. He was an exemplary young
man and his loss is great one to his
parents.
The funeral service took place from
the house at 1 o'clock and from the
German Lutheran church east side at
l;3O p. m. on Wednesday, June 13,
Rev. Pautz of this city and Rev. Max
Schelliebe of Nekoosa, officiating. He
leaves to mourn his father and mother.

MIGHT HAVE
BEEN SERIOUS

George W. Mead's five passenger
Oldsmobile car was quite badly dam
aged last night during the storm, at
10 o'clock when it struck the Iron wa
ter tank that is located on the east
side market square. 1t appears that
Walter Mead was driving the car and
his mother and Mrs. NJ. H. Jackson
were in the back seat. AS they came
onto the city market from the south
it was raining quite hard, the wind
shield was up, lights on the car, but
in some way the driver failed to see
the water tank and struck it squarely
in front and tipped over the tank with
the car which was sufficiently elevated,
that the front end of the car was up
on the water tank. The ladies were
badly frightened as we'll as the boy,
but no one was hurt. The car was
quite badly damaged, especially on the
left front side. The wheel and spring,
and light, were badly bent, the right
side was not damaged to speak of nei-
ther was the engine. We would sug-
gest to prevent any further accidents
of this nature that this popular drink
ing place be provided with a proper
light so that people who desire to
drive to it at night can see it without
any difficulty. Everybody was de-
lighted to know that none of the occu-
pants of the car received any injuries
except that of the shock.

ASAD CASEOF
Drowning

The temptation to camp on the is
lands in the Wisconsin river above our
city in the Consolidated pond, also
to fish and boat, and bathe is the cause
Of another drowning. The swimming
pool is not yet put in readiness for
swimming purposes this season due
to the fact that the weather has been
so cold and the water in the Wiscon-
sin river consequently has been cold.
No one thus far has had any desire to
bathe in the Wisconsin river at this
point. Sunday was a beautiful ideal
day and the temptation Of two of our
well known young men was too great
and they took their bathing suits along
and was spending the afternoon on
one of these popular islands. They
donned their bathing suits and went
into the river 1t was on the west
side Of island all by themselves they
entered the water, and where it was
shallow, the water was reasonably
comfortable. In the pleasure and jol-
lifcation of getting into the water a.
gain they ventured too far, and Nor
ris Kleberg, got into deep water and
into the rapid current and undoubtedly
was taken with cramp. He called for
help two times but finally disappeared
from sight into about ten or twelve
feet of water The alarm was given
and the search for the body was i'm
mediately commenced, but it was not
found until Monday afternoon about 3
o'clock The loss Of this boy to his
family is beyond recall. A young
promising youth has sacrificed his life
for the pleasure of bathing. Little
did he think that he was entering his
watery grave. We understand his
companion, Rupert Hougen, also had a
hard time getting out of the swift cur
rent whict he had got into and was
completely exhausted when he did
reach shore. What saved him was
swimming down stream, and towards
shallow water. The other boy had at
tempted to swim up stream. Morris
Kleberg was the oldest son of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. H. Kleberg residents of this
city.
