Posted on: Marinette County, WI Obits Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Wi/MarinetteObits/141 Surname: Boyle ------------------------- 1944 - Marinette Eagle-Star, Marinette, Marinette County, Wisconsin "VETERAN - Jack Boyle's dog Pal, a six-year-old German short-haired pointer, came home from the war yesterday minus a tail, a little lighter in color, sleeker and sharp as a razor. "He came in barking 'Buy Bonds'," Boyle said, "or at least that's what it sounded like to me. It took him several minutes to get his bearings, but from then on he seemed to be right at home." Boyle intends to keep Pal leashed for several days, but it probably won't take him long to get back to his favorite haunts such as Blasky's barber shop and several other hangouts. "He sure obeys commands," Boyle said "when he gets an order to 'down' he gets down and stays down." Jack fears that his wife, observing the improvements in Pal, may prescribe a twist in the Army for him too." Wednesday, November 26, 1947 - Marinette Eagle-Star, Marinette, Wisconsin "PAL, MARINETTE'S LONE VET OF CANINE ARMY, DIES HERE TODAY Pal is dead! Though he was one of the best known veterans of World War II in these parts, he belonged to no service club and was what some folks would call a "loner." He had a few close friends, of course, among them the chef at Olsen's Cafe where he called regularly for a hand-out. But he always called at the kitchen door and didn't mingle with the paid customers who came in the front way. Pal had no pension, though his enlistment record shows he entered the service August 6, 1942 and was honorably discharged February 4, 1944 after considerable service in the South Pacific. And he was a disabled veteran in a sense. You see, Pal was Jack Boyle's German short-haired pointer and had his long tail amputated before he was accepted for canine service. That's where the disability comes in. In short, Pal was one of the best known dogs in the state - a big lumbering dog born June 12, 1936 that lived to a rather ripe old age, as dogdom goes. He was a friend of everyone before he entered the service, but he wasn't the same Pal after he returned. Maybe the South Pacific took too much out of him and maybe he couldn't forget some of the tricks. At any rate, it was no longer a case of anywhere Jack would go the dog was sure to follow. Jack Boyle and the dog were still good friends, of course, even though Jack squawked about the price of meat and perhaps approved Pal's daily call at the restaurant. But somehow the dog and Jack drifted apart. War does strange things, it seems, even to dogs. And now Pal and Jack are parted forever, for Pal died this morning. Death was attributed to debilities that creep up with age." Link: Doran Family History and Genealogy URL: <http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/d/o/r/James-Doran/>

Roger Patrick Boyle, the little son of John Boyle, residing at 2614 Hall Ave., was almost instantly killed in front of and almost under the parent's eyes. Although no one seems to know exactly how the accident occurred, the fact is that the little child was killed by a passing street car, run by John Weiler. How it Happened As was stated before, no one can state definitely just how the child met his death. The little fellow with some older children was playing around the sidewalk where Mr. Boyle was working. Everybody's attention was distracted for the moment. The first known of the accident was a scream from one of the little girls on the walk and when the father, who was not more than twenty feet from the track, reached the little body, life was all but extinct. There is no doubt that the car did the fatal work, although there were several teams passing at the time, and everyone seems to have been so rattled that no one can give any definite statement. John Weiler, the motorneer, who was running the car at the time, disclaims all knowledge of the accident. He is sure that the front of the car did not strike the child, and knew nothing of it till his return from the upper end of the line, when he was informed that his car had killed a child. One thing is certain. The wheels did not pass over the body. It is thought that the little one, perhaps attracted by the light of the passing car, toddled out, and to all appearances ran into the side of the car, probably falling under the foot board, or against the side of the car. When it was picked up after the accident, it was lying at the side of the track and examination proved that one leg and arm were broken and that the spine and several ribs were also fractured. John Weiler's Story Following are the words spoken by John Weiler, the man who was running the car at the time. When interviewed, he said; "I cannot believe that I killed that child. I knew nothing of it at the time until on my way back to the depot switch, I saw quite a crowd and some one had said that John Boyle's little boy had been killed. I know that the wheels did not pass over him, because I felt no jar in the car. I noticed on my way up several children playing in the road, but when the front of the car, on which I was standing, passed them, they all seemed to be out of danger and I paid no further attention to them. I can't believe now that I killed that child." The parents were almost prostrated by the news but when informed as to how the accident happened seemed not inclined to blame the Street Car Company or the motorneer. It may be regarded as an accident, which had they been forewarned, might have been averted, but under the circumstances, no one is considered responsible. Definite arrangements for the funeral have not yet been completed. Misses Julia and Bridget Boyle have been notified and are expected home from Niagara this noon." Note: Roger Patrick is interred at Woodlawn Catholic Cemetery in Marinette, Wisconsin, with his grandparents, Charles Connahan and Margaret Rodgers.

The decedent was born in Marinette thirty years ago and passed his boyhood years here. For a number of years he had resided in the west.

Posted on: Marinette County Wi. Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Wi/Marinette/450 Surname: Kapischke, Hoeft, Detert, Elmer ------------------------- Hi, Beverly: I see one of your relatives lived in Marinette County. My ggg grandmother was a Kapischke who immigrated to Marquette County around 1854 as the wife of Christian Brown. He supposedly died enroute and was buried at sea. She married my ggg grandfather Johann Hoeft shortly after arriving. Apparently they were all aboard the same vessel. Do you know anything about the Kapischke's? I've come across many spelling variations, including Kopperske, Kabischke, and Copueshky. Cindy

I would like to invite the members of the county mail list to the Wisconsin Genealogy Chat on Sunday nights at 9:00 p.m. EST at http://huntsville.about.com/citiestowns/southeastus/huntsville/mpchat.htm (Please note-the time is listed as EST-so you will have to adjust for your time zone.)This chat is held every Sunday night, so if you don't connect with a "lost" relative, check back on another Sunday night. Anyone is invited to join in the chat and of course the topic is Wisconsin Genealgogy. This chat is for the sole purpose of assisting each other in finding our lost ancestors in Wisconsin. Stop in and share those great WI sites you have found, family research, help each other "break" through those brick walls. By sharing information maybe we can help each other find that "cousin" we quite can't find. Hoping to see you! Please excuse me if this is a duplicate email.
