The Wild Rose Historical Society presents the 1905 Wild Rose Robbery Reenactment on Saturday, July 29th at 10:30 AM. It is a story about how four robbers came in on the train, robbed the post office and attempted to rob the bank. They walked out of town in the dark after the early morning robbery. A small posse found their trail and later a posse of 38 found them again in the late afternoon. There was a shoot out and one robber was killed and 2 wounded, the fourth robber surrendered after trying to escape. There is a connection to Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show and an unknown dead robber with no proper name. If you are related to any posse member we would especially love for you to attend. This is a list of the posse; Frank Clark. Jack Berens, Johnny Protheroe, Irving R. Nash, D.O. Jones, Rob Stevenson, Jeff Sage, Thomas H. Davis, John Roberts, Albert Lowe, Lewis Protheroe, Theodore Woodward, Will Hughes, Al Fero, James Roberts, Elmer Funk, Oscar Holt, Fred Sage, Dr. David Jones, James Kelley, Ed Lowe, Clint Darling, Charley Darling, Henry Galbrilski, Arnold J. Hotz, Undersheriff Dignan, Thos. Hart, Gomer Jones, Richard T. Davis, Jonnie Colligan, Rob Owens, Lewis Radloff, Harry Persons, Harry Protheroe, Fred Clark, Richard R. Davis, Prof. Olson, and Arthur Stoddard. If you would like to be a posse member or part of the crowd at the train station contact me off list for guidelines on what to wear [email protected] . Those in the reenactment need to be at the site at 9:30 AM. Wild Rose is located on Highway 22 between Wautoma and Waupaca. If you take Highway 39 you can take the Plainfield exit if you are coming from the north then go through Plainfield and take Highway 73 to Wautoma and Highway 22 south to Wild Rose. If you are on Highway 39 and coming from the south, take the Coloma exit and follow Highway 21 to Highway 22 in Wautoma and go north on Highway 22 to Wild Rose. The performance will take place at the end of River St. across from the Oakhill Cemetery. The robber with no real name is buried outside of Oakhill Cemetery. We will have directions to the grave if you want to pay your respects. There will be signs pointing the way. River street goes South off from Main Street which is also Highway 22 so it is not difficult to find. There will be parking available but we suggest you bring your own chairs. The area is a little rugged so we discourage sandals and open toed shoes. The performance area is in a field lined with big trees so that ! spectators should be in the shade for the performance. There will be refreshments for sale. A good will offering will be taken. In the afternoon you may wish to tour the Wild Rose Historical Society Museum which is located on Main Street across from the Pioneer Pub. The museum consists of the Elisha Stewart House, a barn and blacksmith shop, carriage horse, general store, weaving room, a one room school, pioneer hall, drug store, smoke house and gift shop.
