V.W. Thurs 19 June 1913, (from the Tigerton Chronicle) NEUBAUER. August (4 year old son, daughter age 2, baby 4 months) (Records at Family History Center - Elizabeth, born 1911. Edward born 1910 and Carl born 1913) Last Thursday three small children of Mr. and Mrs. August Neubauer were burned to death. Two were burned in the building and the third died after it was taken to the Doctor. The cause of the fire is not known. A spark from tree stumps and accumulated brush burning near by may have set the house on fire. The three children were alone while Mr. and Mrs. Neubauer were wall papering in their new house. The house in which they were living at the time was a small building with tar paper. This building was on the farm located near the Germania Town Hall, which Mr. Neubauer had recently purchased. It was around one o'clock when they discovered the building in flames. Mr. Neubauer raced to the building to rescue the children. However, he could only find the little girl and after he had earned her out, he threw sand on her to extinguish the fire from her clothes. Mrs. Neubauer was lightly burned on her neck and arms as she searched the burning building. Mr. Neubauer’s hand was burned. When all hope of rescuing the other children seemed hopeless, the father hurried to the neighbors for help. The first two had no horses. He then hurried to Herman Spieth who hitched up his team and took the mother and child to town. He almost killed his horses in his rush to save the child's life. However there was no Doctor in the area. Dr Hunt was in Marion and Dr Gates was called to assist someone in Hunting. After some time Dr Mulvaney from Marion was reached by phone. He took his car and shortly after Dr Gates came. They did all they could for the child but she died at 5 o'clock. The bodies of the other two children were found that same evening and were completely burned in the ruins of the house. Mr. Neubauer' s condition is serious and is under Doctor's care.
His greatest suffering is the mental anguish, for his burns could heal.
The boy was four years old, the girl was two and the youngest was four
months old. The funeral has held Saturday at the Lutheran Church.
V.W. Thurs 26 June 1913, Tigerton NEUBAUER, August, who was seriously burned by fire in his home, is
still very sick. It is now safe to say that he will recover, that his hand
is not so badly burned and that he is out of danger, but he must learn
what the future has for him.
V.W. Thurs 3 July 1913 BAUMANN, Barbara (Mrs.) of Town Richmond has enjoyed a visit from her sister and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Hillenbrandt from Houghton, Mich. They spent several days with her. The sisters have not seen each other for forty years. Mrs. Hillenbrandt was already in America in 1873, while Mrs. Baumann came here seven years ago with her son. They haven’t seen each other since 1873. One can not express the joy they shared together. V.W. Thurs 9 Oct 1913 HENTER, John from Gresham was found dead in his bed in the
Murdock Hotel on Tuesday morning about nine o’clock. Henter came
to Shawano on Monday to consult with Dr. Cantwell. He came to the
hotel to stay overnight. At nine o’clock there was no response to
the knock at the door. As they investigated through the vent above
the door, they found him dead laying on the bed. Dr Cantwell was
called and his death seemed to be the result of a heart attack. The
deceased was a carpenter or cabinet maker, was not married and reached
the age of 47 years. He had several brothers in Kaukauna. One
of them came to order the transport of his body to Kaukauna.
