Hi Fellow Researchers, I hope all of you have had a great weekend. I am writing to clarify a few things and also fill you in on a few of the new items on the website. First, if you tried accessing the Sheboygan page this weekend, you may have run into a brick wall. Either you were one of the very few lucky enough to gain access or you received one of the following two error messages. You were either told that you were forbidden from accessing this information or that access was denied. Rest assured, I was receiving the same error messages. I believe these errors are due in large part to the merging of Xoom.com, Snap.com and NBCi.com. I am hoping once the merging of all of the sites are complete we will return to smooth sailing again. However, while not being able to access the website, I have had a very productive week for Sheboygan's page. I have added the following information: Lyndon Cemetery Forest Union Methodist Church Cemetery Baptisms for St. Patricks' Catholic Church for the years of: 1903, & 1906-08 Death and Burial records for St. Patrick's church for the years of 1893 - 1928 Death records for St. Patrick's for the years of 1969 - 1982 A biography for Charles M. Ries The Lyndon cemetery was donated by: Kay R., The Forest Union Methodist Church Cemetery was copied and donated by: Mike Dellger, Connie Michaels-Lipp and Kay R., the church records and Bio were contributed by Ann Lamb. I want to thank all of these generous wonderful people for sharing this information with all of us. I will be adding more as time permits, I am backlogged a little with information to go on-line and have set a goal to have all donated material on-line by the end of this week. As always if you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to e-mail and ask. I will do my best to help in any way I can. I hope you all have a great week, Debie

THEIR GOLDEN WEDDING DAY [Picture of Mr. and Mrs. M. Gilboy] [No newspaper Name] [No Date] (Contributed) One of the most notable events to transpire in this section was the golden wedding celebration last Sunday of Mr. and Mrs. Micheal (sic) GILBOY, residing near Cascade, who rank foremost among the prominent and pioneer residents of Sheboygan county. The day was as beautiful as the occasion. Old Sol smiling warm assent upon the highly honored and esteemed couples as they were motored to St. Mary's church at Cascade to renew their plight of troth in the presence of a vast assemblage of relatives and friends, the Rev. David REGAN officiating at the impressive service. The ceremony over and congratulations and good wishes extended by the throng of admiring friends the couple were again driven to their home to continue the celebration and festivities that their children had so well planned in honor of the rare event. The home was decorated with a wealth of flowers, a basket of fifty golden roses presaging that fifty golden years had been lived in twain by the worthy pair, besides which there was an abundance of smilax, yellow daisies, carnation, narcissus, roses and snapdragons, all of which in their beauty testified the esteem of the worthy couple. A six-course dinner was served and the table in gold and white were loaded with sumptuous culinary that left nothing to be desired. The remainder of the day was spent in a social way upon the shaded grounds surrounding their pleasant abode. Mr. and Mrs. GILBOY are among the early residents of the county, the former having been born in the county Mayo, Ireland in 1839. He came to America in 1850 and to Wisconsin and Sheboygan county four years later. Mrs. GILBOY was born in Hartland, Vermont in 1848, her maiden name being Elizabeth MURRAY. She came to Wisconsin in 1850 also and the same year became a resident of the county, where she has resided continuously ever since. The marriage of the couple took place on May 29, 1871, the nuptial sacrament being taken at Cascade, the Rev. Father GAUSE officiating. Those present at the ceremony a half a century ago and in attendance at the renewal vows were Mrs. Ella JORDAN of West Allis, Bridget JORDAN of Fond du Lac, Mrs. J. DOHERTY, Cascade, J.F. MURRAY of the town of Mitchell and Mrs. K. GILBOY of Dundee. Seven children were born of this worthy union, four sons and three daughters, all of whom have attained their majority and are a source of joyous satisfaction to their parents in the declining years of the latter. The children were all present at this noteworthy event who are, W.J. GILBOY of Milwaukee, Thos. F. and Bert GILBOY of Cascade; H.E. GILBOY of Fond du Lac; Mrs. J.F. MANGAN of Salt Lake City, Utah, Eleanor GILBOY of Chicago and Jane GILBOY of Milwaukee. Mr. and Mrs. GILBOY were splendidly equipped by nature to travel the pathways of life together and have proved faithful to each other, their family and friends and as they glance back into the haze of the past fifty years, they can appreciate that their accomplishments have been wrought into deeds as treasured as gold. It is true that they encompassed many of the ordeals and trials that befell those of the early days, but they were faithful to the trust and by persistent toil and diligent effort they are enabled to live the sunset of their years in comfort, peace and serenity. In the community, none are better known or more highly esteemed than this venerable couple and in following the commendable principle of dealing honorably and squarely always with neighbor and friend, Mr. and Mrs. GILBOY have engraved for themselves a place in the hearts of a wide-ranged community, that will be a golden memory to the present and succeeding generations. The community felicitates Mr. and Mrs. GILBOY upon the golden glory that worked the festivities of last Sunday and it is our predominant hope and wish that they may retain their good health and live to continue their worthy career in the fruits of comfort and joyousness to celebrate their diamond wedding anniversary.

GOLDEN WEDDING [The Reporter] [Handwritten Date of 1918] CELEBRATED BY MR. AND MRS. RICHARD PHALEN ON NEW YEAR'S DAY PARNELL COUPLE Event Observed at Home of Couple With Relatives and Friends Passing the fiftieth milestone in their wedded life, Mr. and Mrs. Richard PHALEN, old and highly esteemed residents of Parnell, observed their golden wedding anniversary last Friday, December 28th. With their children about them and a host of relatives and friends present, the worthy couple celebrated the event on New Year's Day. Festivities took place at the East Side Hall at Parnell and at their home. During the afternoon the guests began to gather and at about four o'clock the party, numbering more than sixty in all, journeyed to the East Side Hall, where they partook of an elaborate supper that had been prepared in honor of the occasion. The hall was prettily decorated with a host of pretty things appropriate of the occasion and the table fairly groaned under the wealth of good things to eat. Occupying a prominent place on the festal board was a huge wedding cake, which proved to be an exceptionally fine example of the art of cake-making. Across its frosted surface was traced the date of their marriage fifty years ago and the date of the fiftieth anniversary. After the viands had been disposed of, dancing and other amusements served to make an hour pass happily and then the party of merrymakers headed by Mr. and Mrs. PHALEN adjourned to the PHALEN home where the festivities were resumed. The celebration at the home was replete with many features principal among which was the presentation of numerous gifts to the honored couple. Children of Mr. and Mrs. PHALEN pre- {article appears cut and part is missing] ... free of obstruction and dove to her rescue. The helpless girl came up beneath the logs and was unable to reach the surface. PHALEN expecting this again, dove, going beneath the logs this time and reaching the woman whom he pulled to shore. On shore willing hands lent aid and she was revived. That he earned her deepest gratitude through his heroic rescue there is no doubt, and the presentation of the medal more than a half century after the occurrence started a train of memories concerning the rescue and the people that played a part in the little drama. Mrs. PHALEN was not forgotten by the woman who owes her life to Mr. PHALEN for she sent the aged lady a gold bar pin set with a pearl and this was also deeply appreciated. Following the presentation of the gifts the company turned its attention to social diversions of different kinds. There was music, both instrumental and vocal, there was games and many passed the time quietly with social converse. Patriotic songs were a feature of the festivities and Thomas HERATY gave a talk that was much enjoyed. Mr. HERATY paying a fine tribute to the worthy couple and expressing the hope of the community that they might have the pleasure and the community the honor to gather for their diamond jubilee. Mrs. PHALEN, whose maiden name was Miss Adelia MARTIN, was born September 3, 1844 in Canada and was a daughter of Tomas and Margaret MARTIN. When she was but three years old her parents moved to this country, first settling in Waukesha. After four years residence in that city, the family removed to Friendship, Fond du Lac County, where she resided until her marriage to Mr. PHALEN occurred. Mrs. PHALEN is a woman who has many friends here, of a kind and loving disposition she has endeared herself to all the community. She is of a nature that loves home life and has always made her home, her castle. A devout worshiper in the Catholic church and a true Christian in every sense of the word she is one of the most highly esteemed residents of the community. Mr. PHALEN, the son of Richard and Catherine PHALEN, is a native of New York, having been born in that state on November 15, 1836. When he reached the age of fourteen years the family moved to this county and settled in the town of Mitchell on the farm now occupied by Mr. PHALEN and his wife. At the outbreak of the Civil War he answered the call foe volunteers and enlisted in Company E 17th Wisconsin Infantry. Soon after he enlisted he was appointed commissary sergeant, holding the rank for two years. Later he gained the rank of First Lieutenant in the Quartermaster's Division of the 17th Infantry and served in that department until the close of the war. He followed Gen. Sherman in his famous march to the sea and participated in many engagements during the war of the Rebellion. Mr. PHALEN also bears the honor of being one of the original committee named to look after indigent soldiers and held the post for many years resigning only last fall when advancing years compelled him to relinquish his duties. After being mustered out, he returned to Mitchell and his marriage to Miss MARTIN occurred on Dec. 28, 1867 at Fond du Lac. The couple came to Mitchell and settled on the farm of his parents, where they have since resided. In spite of his advanced years, Mr. PHALEN is very keen mentally and takes of great interest in all that transpires. He is very active for his age and gets about a good deal. He is a man of genuine worth, who, after serving his country, turned to serving himself and did so successfully, amassing a sum sufficient to enable him and his good wife to live in retirement as they journey toward Life's Sunset. Honest and a believer in the Golden Rule, he has many warm friends who will join in expressing the hope that the couple be spared to the community for some time to come. Mr. and Mrs. PHALEN have six children and all of these, and the families of those who are married were present during the holidays to help celebrate the golden anniversary. The children are Thomas PHALEN, living in the town of Forest, Fond du Lac County; Mrs. John (Mary) HUMPHREY, Unity, Wis.; Mrs. Ben (Katherine) BUTLER, town of Mitchell; Mrs. W.J. (Margaret) MURPHY, Milwaukee; Richard J. PHALEN, Parnell and William of Fond du Lac. There are thirteen grandchildren. The REPORTER joins in wishing the worthy couple all the happiness in the world and hopes that as they journey onward hand in hand as they have done, in the past half-century, that their pathway be ever lighted with the sunshine of happiness and good cheer.

HELD CAPTIVE BY AN INDIAN [No Newspaper Name] [No Date] HOMECOMING GUEST TELLS A THRILLING STORY West Allis Woman, When a Child, Thanks to Her Father's Jesting Words, Was Sold to Wild Tribe and Only Recovered with Difficulty. Held a captive by the Indians and finally released through the efforts of Solomon Juneau; Milwaukee's first mayor, was the experience of Mrs. H. E. JORDAN, 477 Sixty-third av., West Allis, who is to be a guest of honor at the Milwaukee Homecoming celebration in August. Mrs. JORDAN is a daughter of the late John A. HEARN, one of the pioneers of the city, whose joking with the Indians was responsible for his little daughter's captivity. The Homecoming celebration recalled the incident which Mrs. JORDAN related to the Journal, as it was in August 1842, that she was held captive by the Indians. [Picture of Mrs. J. E. JORDAN] One Sunday morning, she says, her mother dressed the little girl and arranged her hair in curls preparatory to a walk with her father who was very proud of his little daughter. A short distance from their home, they met a band of Indians in gala attire. One big squaw came up to Mr. HEARN, saying, "Pretty papoose; you swap for a basket of Indian beads?" Mr. HEARN said he would. The squaw seemed so pleased with the little girl that Mr. HEARN thought he would let the Indian take her for a few minutes. The Indian woman took the girl and started toward her wigwam. The father followed and asked for the child back. The squaw then gave an Indian yell and in an instant Mr. HEARN was surrounded by warriors. They refused to give him back the child. Frantic with grief the father sought Solomon JUNEAU. The latter held a consultation with the Indian chiefs and finally after long negotiations secured the girls release. Mr. HEARN was severely reprimanded by the old Indian chief and by Solomon JUNEAU for fooling with the Indians. Mrs. JORDAN is the mother-in-law of Mayor WALSH and City Physician H.T. BROGAN, West Allis.

GOLDEN WEDDING [No Newspaper name] [No Date] The postponed celebration of the 50th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Crosby took place at the family residence at Mitchell, Wisconsin, Wednesday the 24th inst. The venerable jubilarians were married April 30 1853 by the Rev. DeBirge at Holy Name church, Sheboygan, but owing to the unavoidable absence of some members of the family on the anniversary proper, the celebration was deferred. Twelve children were born to them, ten of whom survive. The oldest son, Thomas, was killed at Clarksburg, Michigan, in 1883 and another son died in childhood. The ten present at the celebration are: Mrs. Peter Murphy of Hingham, Mrs. Charles Smith of St. Anna, Jerry and John of Parnell, Edward and Minnie of Milwaukee, Geo., of St. Louis, Mo., and Michael, Louis and Doley at home. The grandchildren present were Agnes, John, Thomas, George and Marie Murphy, May, Thomas, Hugh, Isabelle, Fay and Edward Crosby. Besides the above some one hundred and fifty relatives and friends assembled in honor of the occasion. Immediately before the banquet Rev. R.J. Burke of Cascade in his usual happy style delivered a short congratulatory address at the close of which he renewed the marriage ceremony of 50 years ago. Rev. George Crosby made a few remarks in which he congratulated his parents and thanked those present for the interest taken by them to make the rare celebration a success. Attorney Rooney of Seymour also spoke briefly. After dinner was served all adjourned to an improvised hall where a stereopticon exhibition was given after which dancing was indulged in until the small hours of morning. Patrick Crosby was born in Kilkenny Co., Ireland, August 15, 1826. He left his native country during the famous days of '47 arriving at Quebec, Canada, with no capital but youth, strength and a determination to build for himself a home in the country of his adoption. After three years in the east he took Horace Greeley's advice, "Go west and grow up with the country." The west selected was Wisconsin. He had the stout heart as well as the determination essential to the wilderness pioneer of those days and to this fact is due his success. Mrs. Crosby, who is ten years the junior of her husband, was born in County Cork, Ireland. When but two years old, she was brought to this country by her parents the late Mr. and Mrs. Jeremiah Murphy. She shared her husband's confidence in the bright future awaiting Sheboygan Co. Throughout the fifty years she has been to her husband, her children and her children's children as a beacon light to cheer to console and to assist. For some years past, surrounded by loving, devoted children, they are enjoying in their pleasant home the rest they have so well merited. Their numerous friends unite in wishing them both many years of health and happiness. Among the out of town guests who attended were: Mr. and Mrs. John Flynn, Miss Eva Flynn, Mrs. Barrington, Mrs. John Sleeter, Peter Keating and Frank Flynn of Antigo, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Rooney, Miss Lydia Murphy and Will Murphy of Milwaukee and Frank Rooney of Seymour and Mrs. John Deninger of Nebraska.

AGED WOMAN REFUSES TO BE CALLED OLD [No Newspaper Name] [No Date] ADMITS HER YEARS, BUT DOESN'T NEED HELP IN WALKING OR DRESSING - TRAMPS ALL KNOW HER. Mrs. Margaret Ward, known for the kindness of her heart and the bigness of the meals she served to the hungry, is almost as active at 94 as she was when she kept a hotel in Waldo, this state, and fed every tramp that came along. "My mother used to sit on the steps of the hotel and invite every down and outer to come in and get a good meal," says Michael Ward, her son, whom she is visiting on the Blue Mound rd. "Why, she was known to every tramp in the state, and it finally got so that tramps would go three or four miles out of their way to get a 'feed' at Ward's. Then, when mother moved into Milwaukee, she still kept up her good work of feeding the tramps at her hotel on Fourth-st., until she had lost $4,000. Then she quit the hotel business. She has just returned from Oregon, and while she had a nice trip, she is glad to be back in Milwaukee again." WALKS UP MOUNTAIN SIDE Mrs. Ward talks interestingly of her Oregon trip. "Just before leaving Portland," she said, "we took one last trip up the mountains. Did I walk? Of course I did. It was only half a mile up to the mountain park that we visited. I didn't mind that trip at all, but I did not like the ones we made in cars. Climbing up a mountain in cars isn't as pleasant as riding in cars traveling on a smooth surface." "How did I manage on the train coming back? Very well. The dressing is a little harder because you're forever lurching from one spot to another, but I managed to get my clothes on fully as well as in my own room at home. When we boarded the train someone had kindly furnished an invalid's chair for me, because they heard I was 94, but I made them take it away. I'm not at all ancient just because I'm 94. I don't intend to use an invalid's chair for some time to come. What do I think of automobiles? They're wonderful, no doubt, but I'm not passionately fond of them. I don't enjoy being bumped up and down during an entire ride. I prefer a horse and carriage though, if course, I do my share of auto riding. One simply can't escape that nowadays it seems. ALWAYS EATS A MIDNIGHT LUNCH "My mother was up and around all four days of our trip home," said Miss Rose Ward, who is her mother's constant companion, "and the only thing she allowed me to do was to dress her hair. She dresses alone; we can't do that to suit her. "My brother's business keeps him up late and as we always stay up until past midnight mother insists on staying up too. It's a regular thing for her to have a sandwich and a cup of coffee a little after midnight, and then retire." "It certainly is," smiled the white-haired, well-groomed old lady, "and I sleep better for it. I just can't go to sleep without that little lunch. It has become a habit, I guess. It hasn't done me any serious damage so far, so I think I can safely continue it." Mrs. Ward was born in Ireland, but spent her entire girlhood in England where she was married. She came directly after to America, reaching here just at the close of the Civil war. Of a family of twelve children, five are living. She says her only regret is that she can no longer go horseback riding, of which she had been very fond. "Really, I wouldn't be afraid to try it," she laughed, "but I hate to think of what my sons and daughter would do to me."

PARNELL HOMECOMING AND REUNION SUNDAY ATTRACTS HUNDREDS OF FORMER RESIDENTS [No Newspaper Name] [No Date] Unqualified success attended the homecoming and picnic at Parnell Sunday. In spite of the heat, which was intense, hundreds of old Parnell and Mitchell residents, and friends of present residents of the community, attended, some from great distances. It was a genuine reunion, a renewal of friendships and acquaintanceships. A restoration of home ties. The Rev. Father Regan and the members of his congregation outdid themselves in providing entertainment. The Campbellsport band played a continuous concert throughout the day. The ladies of the congregation served dinner and the extent of the response to the homecoming invitation probably can best be seen in the fact that dinner was served to 1,200 people. The address by the Hon. Frank Rooney of Appleton was a crowning feature. The homecoming was arranged for under the capable direction of Father David Regan, pastor of St. Michael's Catholic church. He was assisted by the members of his congregation who worked faithfully to make it the splendid success that it was. A splendid spirit of cooperation was shown to exist between the pastor and the congregation. Harvey's Grove, opposite the church grounds, was the scene of the picnic. It was a scene of a most happy gathering of old-time friends and of relatives from far and near. It was a reunion of friends who had not met for years. It was a meeting of people who [there is a picture of Father Regan here] had grown up in the town of Mitchell and had gone to other places to live. Days of "Auld Lang Syne" were frequently recalled. All the former residents who possibly could availed themselves of the opportunity to again visit the scene of their childhood days. Many happy memories were brought to mind. The day was a happy one for all who participated and will frequently be recalled. Much credit is due the pastor, Rev. Father David Regan, who for weeks back has unceasingly worked to make the homecoming and picnic the success that it was. The ladies and men of the congregation most notably assisted him. No time or effort was spared in getting ready for the picnic. The large crowd was most hospitably received and entertained throughout the day. The dinner was served beneath the beautiful trees, which covered with their heavy green foliage, made a pretty setting. The prettily decorated tables were loaded with the delicious eats. The dinner was served and arranged by the following committee: Mesdames Mike Gaynor, A. O'Connell, Mike Slattery, Will Wals, Joseph Reilly, Tom Butler and Margaret Michaels. They were assisted by the other ladies of the congregation in serving the dinner. Every member prepared his or her share of the dinner and helped. Around the grounds were arranged ice cream and soft drink stands. Large booths were arranged for the fancy articles and aprons which were sold. The bazaar also was very successful. Many pretty and useful articles were disposed of. At 1 o'clock a splendid address was delivered by Hon. Frank Rooney of Appleton. Mr. Rooney was a former Mitchell boy and member of St. Michael's congregation. In fact, he was born and raised in Mitchell. After completing the education he located at Appleton. Mr. Rooney said in part: "When asked by Father Regan to speak I consented, but when the hot wave came I was about to break the engagement but remembered I belong to a race that does not run. But they are eception (sic)to rule. This reminds me of a story of the Battle of Bull Run. When rebels broke in many ran back, but later when Pat was asked why he did so he said 'Faith and those that didn't are there yet.' "This is indeed a most pleasurable occasion and to meet my old-time friends and former associates. "I was born and raised here and for years made my home among the hills of Mitchell and if there is one spot in God's world I have a warm spot for it is Mitchell. It seems but yesterday that I was here. But now when I see the boys of yesterday and their heads of gray. - I never see gray but in others - but they don't grow old in dear old Mitchell. "There is one sad and pathetic thought, the grand old men and women that met every Sunday in the church on the hill have gone. "We must carry on and be true Americans. Can you answer the question: 'Are you living the life taught you at your mother's knee?' "We must make our country be proud of us and not do anything to dishonor our flag that protects us. Never do a wrong. Many happy memories are recalled when we think of the old settlers who never shirked their duty. If not for their christian teachings our government would never exist. The unrest and chaos that is spreading among the masses is due to lack of christian teaching. Our first allegiance is to God and our country. Eliminate the paganism and what does not uplift mankind. In all things teachings of church must be reflected. In our great country freedom of thought, press and religion is given us. This is what has made America what she is with the feelings of brotherly love. We must exemplify the teachings by our every-day life. Our government needs the life of christian families. Your duty is to your pastor. Help parochial school. Help clergy. By exemplifying the teachings of God America is made great. "I wish to close so as not to worry and annoy the crowd. I wish to thank you for this opportunity and the chance to renew old acquaintances. None of Mitchell's former residents have made us ashamed, some have become clergymen, lawyers, etc., and we have no reason to blush for our friends, grand old men and women who have answered the roll and passed on to receive their reward. I thank you for this opportunity most sincerely and hope to meet you again."

[No Newspaper Name] [No Date] We notice by the Sentinel of Thursday morning, Sept. 28, that "Dexioneer" the trotter owned by our friend William Walsh won second money in straight heats in the free for all race at New London last Wednesday. The Evening Wisconsin of the same date had a perfect picture of "Dad" Walsh, the octogenarian whom they termed the Dean of the Wisconsin turf, and whom although nearly eighty years of age is one of the most active horsemen in the state.

Geez, I wonder if the guy I went to school with in 1988 was part of this family? He was living in Neenah at the time.

HEIRS TO MILLIONS [From Sheboygan Press] [No Date] In the vaults in Ireland and in safety deposit boxes where securities are usually kept, there is $12,400,000 awaiting distribution among residents of Sheboygan, Fond du Lac, Milwaukee, Winnebago and Marathon counties. Those who will share in the estate of James O'Brien are: Mrs. John Lindsay, Parnell, Sheboygan county. Mrs. Thomas Dwire, Parnell, Sheboygan county.

O'Brien of Wausau a former member of the Sheboygan police force who is in Ireland looking after the details of the estate. James O'Brien who amassed a fortune in the California gold fields in the early 50's returned to Ireland and spent his declining days there. Twenty-one years ago he dies in County Cork, and since that time his fortune has been awaiting heirs, for no will was left at the time of his death. The O'Brien family consisted of four brothers and all came to this country (unreadable) life except James, who remained in Ireland until some years later. As was customary in those days there was little correspondence between the brothers and eventually it was broken off entirely and the branch of the family in America lost all trace of James.
