There is a Pre-1903 Death, Birth, and Marriage Index on microfilm which is at most local libraries, if not, perhaps you can get it interlibrary loan? Also, I am sending this to a couple mailing lists, and perhaps someone would be nice enough to do a lookup for you in the near future. I live in California, so, no can do... In addition, there is an AskMcMillan link, that they will do limited lookups... http://www.scls.lib.wi.us/mcm/library/askmcm.html Good luck on the CUMBERLAND search.

Posted on: Wood Co. Wi Bios Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Wi/WoodBios/90 Surname: BELL, CHRISTIAN, KISSENGER, McKIBBEN ------------------------- John Daniel KISSINGER by G. E. Mortimore - Published in the Daily Colonist, Victoria, B.C. Canada, Sunday, June 9, 1957 50 YEARS A LUMBERMAN At the age of 24, John Daniel KISSINGER found himself acting superintendent of a hardwood sawmill and logging operation. It was a small place--only 200 employees--but the Wisconsin farm boy felt pleased all the same. He was sitting in the boss chair because the boss was sick. But he did so well that he was named the companys manager in a larger Wisconsin town. He took his final step up the ladder when he was called north to be resident manager of the old Puget Sound Lumber & Timber Co. in Victoria. Retired now in his adopted town, Mr KISSINGER lives quietly and remembers 50 years of the lumber business. He is the head of a large clan, being the oldest in a family of three boys and four girls and himself the father of seven boys and four girls. John D KISSINGER was the only one of his generation who wandered. The brothers and sisters are still in and about the old home town of Wisconsin Rapids, were J.D. was born on Feb 14, 1882. e took a 9,000-mile motor trip and visited them in 1955. And among John D KISSINGER s 11 children, all but one still live around Victoria. The exception is Raymond, now with the Shell Oil Co, in CA. As the head of the family, John D. Kissinger was a serious-minded youth. After he left high school, he continued working on the 80-acre farm of his parents, near Wisconsin Rapids--then called Centralia. He started work at 18 in the office of a department store in Wisconsin Rapids, worked there for a year and a half, then took a nine-month business course. A job with the Frankfort Hardware Co took him to Milwaukee. While still in business school he had heard that the bookkeeper of the R Connor Lumber and Land Companys Stratford, WI, branch, planned to leave. So he applied for the job. Six months later, the Connor Company summoned him to Milwaukee. DID TWO JOBS: After he had been six years in Stratford, a chain of events put him in the boss office. The superintendent quit, and the cashier--office manager--took his place. John D KISSINGER became cashier. Then the new superintendent came down with appendicitis, which developed into a long illness. During this time, J D Kissinger did the cashiers and superintendents job as well. The head office marked him for promotion from that time onward. In 1908--six years later--Mr. Connor himself called him from the companys head office in Marshfield and asked him to take over as manager of the companys plant at Laona, WI. J D Kissinger hesitated, being a cautious man, then accepted. The Laona operation was the biggest hardwood sawmill operation in the world. It employed 600 men in mill and woods. When John D KISSINGER , then barely 30 and looking younger, arrived as superintendent, some of the old-timers wagged their heads. "Theyve sent a kid here as the boss," some of them mourned. But in his dry, quiet, resolute way, John D. Kissinger showed them that he could handle the job. He soon became a leading citizen. John D KISSINGER is one of those men who are always asked to become president or chairman, whatever group they join. In Stratford he had had some experience with organizing a bank. He became president of the State Bank of Laona. He became secretary of the Laona Free High School and secretary of the Laona district school board, an elected position corresponding to that of a trustee here. In this post, he had a large measure of control over the hiring of teachers. The Connor Company had its own short railway--the Laona Northern -- which was also a public carrier. Mr KISSINGER was superintendent of it. He was president of the first free library in Forest Co, WI. In the First World War he became director and resident manager of the Forest County Potash Company, which extracted potash from burned mill waste. At the same time he was a lay member of the County legal advisory board; chairman of the war history committee, county treasurer of the Red Cross; chairman of the committee to organize a company of militia in Forest County. As if all these jobs were not enough to keep him busy, he also served as postmaster of Laona--a town of 1,500 -- for some 11 years. DODGED GERMS: He worked a strenuous day on war activities, up first thing and never to bed before midnight. The 1918 flu epidemic raged through the country, but for some reason J D KISSINGER avoided it. So did his family -- which by this time numbered eight. In October, 1919, the Connor company became interested in the Canadian Puget Sound Lumber and Timber Co. Mr KISSINGER received a wire offering him a job as manager of the companys Victoria mill and logging operation. "Come on, Dad, be a sport," argued eldest son Raymond, then aged 12. His sons urging helped persuade J. D. to make the move. "And yet Raymond was the first to get homesick," Mr. KISSINGER recalls. Now, Raymond is the only one of the family to live away from Victoria. His job with the Shell Oil Co. has taken him to several widely-separated parts of the continent. The old Canadian Puget Sound mill -- across the water from the present Crowe, Gonnason mill--was a big operation. It cut 30,000 feet an hour, 210,000 a day. In mill and woods, it employed 600 men, and had a payroll of $1,000,000 a year. Then the depression hit. Markets dwindled, prices fell. In 1931, the mill closed down. Mr KISSINGER was against the closure; he thought the mill should keep cutting on a reduced scale, buying logs cheaply, stockpiling for better times, and keeping the mill in working shape. But he was overruled. The mill shut down tight. It never reopened. When the depression did taper off and markets regained health, the mill had deteriorated so far that it was beyond profitable restoration. Two or three years ago, its giant stack, a long time landmark, was pulled down by the wreckers. Logging resumed under the Canadian Puget Sound name, and the firm was bought in 1946 by Alaska Pine and Cellulose Co. John D KISSINGER remained with that company until he retired, five years ago, at the age of 70. In Mr KISSINGER's time, the company was one of the first to make extensive use of logging trucks. The CPS manager also wore several other hats: manager, Island Logging Co and Vancouver Island Towing Co; managing director, Island Land and Insurance Agencies, Ltd; director, Crofton Blooming Co. and Cowichan Bay Booming Association. He was president of the Canadian Puget Sound Basketball Club. Earlier, he had played both basketball and American football. He still remembers one sleepless, freezing night when the Wisconsin Rapids football team rode in a railway and caboose to Junction City, played in eight inches of snow, lost the game -- and went to a dance that same evening. Formerly a Lutheran, be became a convert to the Roman Catholic faith. He is an honorary life member of the Knights of Columbus and a member of the Victoria council. He has three sons and one grandson in the council. CHECKS THE TIMES: He has 34 grandchildren, two great-grandsons and one great-great-grand-daughter . Son John D KISSINGER , Jr, is a contractor in Victoria; son Leonard works for Moore-Whittington Lumber Co; daughter Florence is Mrs John CHRISTIAN; Donald is an electrician at VMD; Lucille is Mrs Arthur McKIBBEN; Eleanor is Mrs Charles BELL, wife of a garageman; Jeanette is Mrs William LYNCH; William A. is a fuel oil dealer; Kenneth works with Charles BELL, and Lloyd works as a mechanic with John. His eldest granddaughter is a nun, Sister Mary Deborah, teaching in New Westminster. Mr. Kissinger lost his first wife [Anna M LAESSIG, daughter of Edward LAESSIG and Jeanette BAENEN, of Eau Pleine Township, Marathon Co, WI, USA born 16 March 1881 - died 13 Nov.] in 1949; remarried in 1953. He is a life-long teetotaler, and a faithful watch-winder. Promptly at 10 oclock he winds the watch, and more often than not he goes to bed shortly afterwards. Its a family joke that whenever he goes out, he is bound to say, sometime in the evening, "Oh by heck, its 10:30," or "Oh, by heck, Its nearly 11 oclock." The big-family habits of buying in quantity are still with him, and he sometimes buys such things as canned milk or berries by the crate, shares them with some of his sons, and figures out the cost to the penny. But he doesnt reckon in the cost of being a chauffeur and deliveryman. He has the knack of being able to relax or concentrate at will, and seeming to be oblivious of noise. All his life he has been able to sit down for 15 minutes, doze without actually sleeping, and arise refreshed. Daily Colonist, Victoria, B.C. Sunday, June 9, 1957 NOTE: I am researching the family of John D. Kissinger, and would like to correspond with anyone interested in the family history and relatives.

This morning I spent a few hours volunteering at the Area Research Center (archives) for Wood, Portage and other central WI counties, and learned of two situations of interest to those on the list. First, the backlog of requests for obits and other genealogical records the archives staff had been working on are now completed. They have three students and a UW-SP librarian who works with them to answer requests for research, waiting to retrieve records and answer your requests for obits, naturalization, and pre-1907 vital record copies. Their charges are a bargain, at $5 handling fee for up to five items, and copies costing between 25 cents for obits to $1 each for bound volume copies (naturalizations). So--if you've needed a nudge, this is it, get busy and Send Some Requests to the Archives. It's low-cost research for you and a much-needed boost to their funding. Contact the archives via e-mail at uwsp.edu or check the archives obit search engine page for more information at http://library.uwsp.edu/obits/ Second, and this is the nagging part of my message--there are over TWENTY people who have received research results from the archives between July and September who have NOT paid the very reasonable fees. Not all of those people who have or will be receiving dunning letters are on this mailing list, but if you are, PLEASE pay your bill with the archives so this valuable resource can continue providing service to genealogists.

Wi Obits Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Wi/WoodObits/336 Surname: SCHMITT, SPRINGBORN ------------------------- Frederick SPRINGBORN Obit taken from the Marshfield News, Volume 4 Number 26, March 2, 1893, Page 1 Column 6 Frederick SPRINGBORN, died 1893 Frederick SPRINGBORN, aged 59 years, an old and respected citizen of this city, breathed his last on Saturday afternoon of last week. He had been more or less a sufferer from kidney troubles for the last five years. Last Thursday he was taken to his bed from which he was never able to rise from again. He leaves a wife and three children--Mrs Anton SCHMITT and Wm and Theo SPRINGBORN, all of this city--to mourn his death, and they have the heartfelt sympathy of the community in their bereavement. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon from the Lutheran church and was largely attended. Frederick SPRINGBORN was born in the province of Mecklenberg, Germany, and came to this country in 1869, locating at Ripon in this state. In 1881 he removed to this city where he has resided ever since. Joan M.

He had been unwell for some time past from nervous and heart troubles and had gotten into the habit of taking chloral and morphia to lessen the pain and suffering occasioned by these afflictions. On Thursday of last week he was a visitor to this city, apparently feeling quite well. On Saturday he sent here for Dr LATHROP who responded and found the patient suffering from nervousness and a low heart. He prescribed for him and ordered those in attendance to take away all the chloral and morphia in the office as he deemed their use dangerous considering the condition of the heart of the patient. During the early part of the evening, according to those who were present, HILLS suffered considerable and got up to look for the chloral or morphia. As he could find neither he took a bottle of laundanum, poured out a wine glassful and drank it. He had been in the habit of taking large doses of these drugs and apparently this dose afforded him relief with no immediate evil result for he ate supper and after this felt much better. Shortly after this he fell into the sleep from which he never awakened. The suicide story which has been set afloat has no foundation in fact whatever. In the opinion of the attending physicians it was a case of the inadvertant taking of an overdose of laundanum, without suicidal intent. Dr HILLS came to this country some eleven or twelve years ago, locating at Auburndale where he worked up an exceptionally good practice, he being a physician of more than ordinary ability. Subsequently he removed his office to Blenker. He was kind hearted and genial, but like many before him fell a victim to that demon of intoxicating drink, and this within the past year caused him to take the Keeley and Ackerman cures, which apparently assisted him in conquering his appetite for strong drink. Recently he has been in very good spirits, attended strictly to his practice and spoke very hopefully of the future, confident that he had again become master of himself. He was 37 years of age, and had a wide circle of friends through this section who will deeply regret his untimely end. His remains will be laid at rest in the cemetery here this morning. Services will be held at the Presbyterian church at 10 o'clock, and the funeral is in charge of the Masonic lodge of this city. Joan M.
