CHAS. e. SWANSON
Lost on the Inflated Tuscania, Feb.
9Th, 1918

Among those buried on the coast
of Scotland was Chas. E. Swanson,
a young man whose parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward Swanson, reside at Roth
schild. Mr.. Swanson was we'll known
in Wausau, having attended the Wau-
sau Business college; later was in the
Wright jewelry store, and still later
with the B. Heinemann Lumber Co.
Several years ago he accepted a posi-
ton with the Virginia Lumber Co.,
and after remaining there for two
years he went to Wegner, Mont, to
take charge of a retail lumber bust
ness, at the same time he took up a
homestead. He registered at Wegner,
but did not wait his call, but went to
Spokane and entered the army as a
volunteer, and trained at Fort Geo.
Wright. A vein of true patriotism
runs through all of his correspond
ence with E. d. Widmer as the fol-
lowing extract will show:
How does this war situation seem
to take with the people around there
and what is the general feeling of
the CONSUMPTION proposition? Most
of us around here are ready to go as
soon as we feel we are really needed,
even, though most of us are just COM
mencing to make good and see few
dollars roll around. However, Amer

cember, 1890. He was a member of
the Masonic fraternity at Wagner. He

MISS DOROTHY WHEELER

gloom of sadness was cast oyel
our city on Thursday evening, Febru-
airy IA, 1918, when the sad announce
ment was made that Miss Dorothy
wheeler had passed away. Death
came at 8 o'clock. Miss Wheeler had
been i'll and great sufferer, more or
less, for seventeen years and for the
past five months had been confined
to her bed. With her sister, Miss
! Ida, extensive trips were taken to
the South and West and also several
seasons were spent at Mt. Clemens,
| hoping for a return of health, but all
| proved of no avail.
| During all these years she had dis
played that degree of patience and
beauty of character which had ever
been part of her life. She loved
and kept her friendships; the friends
that were her playmates in childhood,
were among those most cherished in
her after life. Throughout her ill
| ness she had been wonderfully cour-
ageous, hopeful and cheerful. Her
friends loved to gather about her, for
although almost a constant sufferer
she always met them with a CHEEKY
word, seldom alluding to her pain and
trouble and always sympathiZing in
the joys and sorrows of the outside
world. The devoted and unceasing
care of a loving sister, was a bright
spot in her life, giving her courage
and consolation in her darkest hours
of pain. AS she neared the end of
life's journey, she patiently endured
most eXcruciating pain until God, in
His mercy, lifted the veil and drew
her from the shadows into everlast
ing light, where she found the loved
ones, who had gone before.
THE night is gone
And with the morn those angel faces smile
Which have loved long since, and lost
awhile!"
Death did not come Unexpectedly;
for several weeks it seemed as if the
brittle thread of life" might part at
any moment. With the final summons
came the grief and the sorrow for
beautiful life gone out.
Dorothy Elizabeth, was the youngest
of five children of the late Henry L.
Wheeler and Aida A. Wylie. She
was born i'll WauSau on the 22d day
of February, 1875, and had practically
resided here all her life. She was
educated in our city schools and for
several years assisted her father, who
conducted a large fire insurance
agency in this city. She was a mem
Der of the Monday Evening Study
club and a devoted member of the
First Universalist church; pupil and
teacher in the Sunday school and for
several years was secretary and treas
urer of the Ladies' Aid society of the
church in which she was greatly in
terested. Up to the time of her ILL
ness she was very active in her var
ious duties and also in the young
society of our city, being an especial
favorite with all. Since the death of
their parents, the two sisters, Miss
Ida and Miss Dorothy, have resided
in their home at the corner of Sixth
and Franklin streets, from which
the funeral services were conducted
on Saturday afternoon at o'clock,
the Rev. w. H. Gould, pastor of the
First Universalist church, officiating.
Interment was in Pine Grove GENE
terry.
The pail bearers were DR.. Russell
Lyon, Henry E. Smith, Guy K. Good
ing, John M. Lull, j. S. Alexander and
Walter E. Curtis.

WHISKEY ROAD

Ha old Remke has been appointed
carrier on rural route number z to
succeed Fred Reinhardt who was ap-
pointed temporary carrier, more than
year and a half ago. This route
forms a loop, beginning at Reinhardts'
corner, five miles from this city, fol-
lows the old ''Whiskey'' road and goes
through the towns of Easton and
Texas. This story, of how "whiskey''
road received its name, is told: The
road does not follow the true range,
but cuts off at an angle to the left.
The surveyors, who were laying out
the road were continually under the
influence of liquor, which accounts
for the result. From then or this
road has always been known to peo-
pie near there as the ''whiskey'' road.
This route is also supplying the
GlandOn Post Office with mail. This
last blizzard was so severe that this
section of Marathon county has not
received mail for three days Mr.
Remke the new carrier could not get
through Saturday because of high
snow drifts.
