HON. d. L. PLUMER'S EIGHTY SECOND
BIRTHDAY OBSERVED

Last Thursday, July 3rd, 1919, was
the SIND anniversary of the birth of
our esteemed fellow citizen, Hon. d.
l.. Plumer and though confined to his
room by illness on that occasion, he
receivede the sincere congratulations
of hosts of Old time friends. In many
cases these were accompanied by
flowers, if possible to accentuate the
high regard in which he is held
The directors and officers of the
First National Bank, of which he is
president, were keenly alive to the
fact that it was his SIND anniversary
and took occasion to remember him
with flowers and a note of congratu-
lations.
Mr.. Plumer came to Wausau while
it was in its infancy, when there
were but a few hundred souls here.
Among them were some of the ablest
and most determined men of our state.
He was only twenty years of age, yet
his enterprise and ability attracted
public notice and he at once became
conspicuous as a leader in sound bus
mess and social affairs With that far
reaching sagacity which has always
been characteristic of him, he turned
his thoughts and energies to large en-
terprises which aimed more especially
for the developing of the vast resourc-
es of the Wisconsin pinery. AS years
progressed he became one of the most
conspicuous figures in business circles
of this section of the state, as well as
one of its most successful operators
His education had been along lines Of
land surveying and civil engineering
and this he followed for many years
laying out our city and county dis
tricts and imparting his knowledge tC
many young men who were enabled t
lassist him in the work. He made th'
preliminary survey of the Wisconsin
lCentral Railroad from Unity to Bay
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1919-07-08

field in 1862 In these early days he
also became familiar with the lum-
Der business and gradually became an
extensive operator.
In 1862 he associated himself with
George and Judge Willis C. Silver
thorn, and established a general real
estate and banking business under the
firm of Silverthorn and Plumer. This
Organization was continued until 1882
when it was succeeded by the First
National Bank, of which Mr.. Plumer
was chosen president, which position
he still holds. During his vacation
periods in the SOS he made extensive
trips into the northern wilds of Wis
consin in search of mineral deposits
and would return home laden with
specimen of the finest kind of iron
GRE. This. in later years, resulted in
the organization of the Northern Chief
Iron company, with large holdings on
the Gogebic range, of which company
Mr.. Plumer was president until he
retired this year.
| Mr.. Plumer has been a member of
the legislature, mayor of our city, and
has been honored with many of the
| highest positions in the gift of our
| people. The mere enumeration of
these is, perhaps, the most expressive
testimony of his ability and integrity
and to the esteem in which he has long
been held by his fellow citizens.
He is such a man as has laid broad
and deep foundations of states and
nations and whose influence upon them
in the years which shah follow, can
never be fully measured. That he still
lives in the city that he has helped tC
build and in the growth and prosperity
of which he still takes great inter.
est, is a source of pleasure to ouI
people. They all unite sincerely in tbs
wish that he may have "many happy
returns of the day

outstanding thing to greet the eye is
huge stone fireplace, artistically To-
Gated in the center of the room and
around which dozens of people can
gather on cool evenings to enjoy the
warmth immense uncut logs can

woods fashion and is furnished in both
wicker and home made, cherry wood
tables, chairs and desks. The floor is
painted green and waxed. At night
the guests can enjoy dancing for there
is a piano also and no finer floor is to
be found for that diversion. Large
windows at the left afford delightful
place for the ladies when it is cool

A large opening to one side gives

twelve tables with room for more
Festive and summer decorations adorn
both rooms and, we can aver to this,

cleanliness of the room itself is con-
ducive to heavy eating.
Mr.. Gabe has found that he cannot

GAS EXPLOSION
Mrs. C. B. Bird Met With An Acci.
dent Tuesday Evening

Last Tuesday evening those residing
in the neighborhood of the residence
of G. B. Bird ON McIndoe street, were
startled by what seemed to. be the
explosion of a large gun. 1t being sc
near the Fourth, it did not create any
excitement as it was thought some OF
the boys were trying out their fire
arms. A moment later, the commotion
in the residence of c. B. Bird indicated
that something serious had happened
NeighbOrs rushed in and found Mrs
Bird in great agony, her face and eyes
having been badly burned in a gas
explosion, which occurred as she was
attempting to light the gas in an au-
tomato heater.
Mrs. Bird and daughter, Miss Marie
had just returned home from Madison
and wanting some hot water, they
found that it was not forthcoming as
usual, when the hot water faucet was
turned on. Mrs. Bird proceeded to the
| basement tc see what was the matter
and soon as she struck a match there
was most terrific explosion She
managed to get up stairs ana her call.
for help were heard and soon doctor:
Willard, Rosenberg and Margare
Trevitt, were on hand and all were re
lieved when it was announced that sh,
had sustained no permanent injury
Her eyes and face were quite badly
burned so that it was necessary fol
her to wear bandages for several days
She is now well on the road to re
covery, to the great delight of all.
The family had been absent for sew
eral weeks and during the time tn,
pilot light of the automatic gas heater
had, for some reason gone out. WheI
the hot water faucet was turned on i
therefore, allowed quite a volume o
gas to escape. The water was run
ming when she went down, consequent
ly the gas escape was quite consider
able. Miss Bird was in the uppe
story of the building and on accoun
of the noise made by the running
water did not hear the explosion an
did not know of the accident until
few moments later. 1t was a narroy
escape for it was just by chance tha
her clothing was not set on fire b
the explosion.

A little lake is located two miles

From top to- bottom it appealed to all
as one of the most comfortable and

Several years ago, when Mr.. and
Mrs. Gabe commenced their operation
of it, the place was rough; it held
fascination for the enthusiastic rod
