Manitowoc-Undersheriff Lester Nichols said Tuesday that Mrs. William Chaloupka, somewhere in her 50s, Route 1 Mishicot, is resting at the Holy Family hospital in Manitowoc after a suicide attempt at her home early Monday afteroon.

Mrs. Chaloupka, whom Sheriff Clarence Baryenbruch described as 'despondent," attempted to take her life on Monday by slashing her wrists. Fortunately, Sheriff Baryenbruch said, "she didn't cut deep enough." Mrs. Chaloupka was coated with blood when found by friends who immediately called the sheriff's department.

1758 The Brother-in-Law of Solomon Juneau, Milwaukee Pioneer.

One of the Last of the Old French Traders of Wisconsin to Pass Away-
The Story of His Life.

On Tuesday, October 30th, 1888, the death of Andrew J. Vieau occurred at Ashwaubenon. He had been ill for two months or more prior to his death with phthisis*. The surviving members of the family are the widow, Rebecca R. Vieau, and eight children, as Follows: Mrs. L.G.. Pauquette(sic), Fort Howard; Mrs. Andrew Vieau Seymour; Henry Vieau, Little Kaukauna; Jerome G. Vieau, Green Bay; Ramsey C. Vieau, Sheboygan; Andrew J. Vieau, Jr.; Ashwaubenon; Frank Vivaldi Vieau, Ashwaubenon; Mrs. Napoleon Jonbert, Fort Howard. The funeral occurred on the following Friday at the French Catholic church, Rev Fr. Madden officiating. THe interment was at Allouez.

In June,, 1837, Reuben G. Thwaites, corresponding secretary of the State Historical Society, visited Mr. Vieau and gathered from him a most valuable chapter of history. The following interesting sketch, taken from the Milwaukee Sentinel, is undoubtebly from his pen:

Madison, Nov.. 7--News has been received here of the death at his home in Fort Howard, of Andrew J. Vieau, a son of old Jacques Vieau, who opened a fur trading station at the mouth of MIlwaukee river in 1795. Andrew, born in Green Bay in 1818, assisted his father in the Indian trade in and around Milwaukee, as early as 1830. Later while still a mere lad, he clerked for the Irwins, fur-traders at Green Bay, in 1833, seeing there the Sac chief, Black Hawk, upon the latter's famous journey as prisoner to President Jackson in Washington.

In September, 1831, young Vieau commenced clerking in Milwaukee for his brother-in-law Solomon Juneau; but in February following went to Chicago whre he clerked for Medore b. Beaubien, a well-known pioneer of that city.

In Deccember, 1836, he returned to Milwaukee and bought out Juneau. This was during the big real estate boom, and Vieau made considerable money both in his Milwaukee establishment and in trade with the Indians and whites at Prairieville, now Waukesha. In fact, this Prairieville store-the firm was McDonald, Maliby & Vieau-was the first established in that section of the state.

Vieau was a restless character and fond of starting new enterprises. In June, 1837, he sold out all his interests to Juneau and traded during the summer at Green Bay and Mackinaw. In the fall he was back again in Milwaukee, dealing in lumber, serving as village auctioneer and officiating as collector of county taxes,-his fee as collector being 5 percent, on his collections and levies.

In the fall of 1838 he went to Port Washington to prosecute the Indian trade and was psotmaster(sic) there. He did well from his winter's trade, and took into MIlwaukee in the spring a large boat-load of peltries and maple sugar, while during the sleighing weather he had frequently brought into Milwaukee ox-team loads of wild turkeys and venison gathered from the Indian hunters.

In the winter of 1839-40 he again traded in partnership with Juneau, but the following summer set up for himself a store of general supplies and an adjoining lumber-yard, his plant being on the east side of East Water street, between Huron and Michigan.

In the fall of 1843 he started in at Two Rivers, with a stock of Indian goods, and while there superintended a pioneer saw-mill owned by his father-in-law, the well-known John Lawe, of Green Bay.

Here he stayed until 1846, when he took to farming at Neshoto village, and became chairman of the Manitowoc county board. He was afterward in the Indian trade at New Denmark, and, later, at the Bay Settlement, northwest of Green Bay. But, in 1860, he removed to his family land-claim on the bank of Fox river, at Fort Howard. He had, finally, like so many of his kind, lost all of his money in the fur trade, and thenceforth gained a scanty living from his little home farm, after the manner of the old habitants.

Mr. View(sic) was a genial, kindly man, when not crossed, and had the suave manners and expressive gesture so peculiar to those having French blood in their veins. His father, old Jacques, was a full-blooded Frenchman, but his mother was the niece of Onaugsa a celebrated Pottowattomie chief. A year ago, Secretary Thwaites, of the Historical Society, interviewed the old man at his home in Fort Howard, and the result is that entertaining and valuable contribution to the history of the state, known as "the Narrative of Andrew J. Vieau, Sr.," in Vol. XI, of the Wisconsin HIstorical collections.

Mr. Vieau had seen and keenly observed much of pioneer life and the habits of the aborigines, he was a walking encyclopedia of information regarding he details of the early forest trade, the movements of Indian tribes, the characteristics of leading pioneers and incidents of early times and being a vivacious though modes raconteur was recognized as a jolly comrade among those who knew him well.

His death removes about the last old French fur trader in Wisconsin, certainly the last whose recollections are valuable as material for history.

1766 The following information was found in the Probate Office at the Manitowoc Co. Courthouse under file # 1086.

Wenzel Wanish left an estate of approx. $100.00 according to his father and creditor, Frank Wanish. Wenzel left a wife, Anna, but no children at the time of his death, however a daughter was born 3 Mo. later. Joseph Havel was given power to administer the estate.

There were legal papers drawn and on record for a Guardianship of Wenzel and Anna's child, Anna. She was 6mo. old at the time. Wenzel Klopeck/Chloupek was given the guardianship of Baby Anna on Jan 10, 1870.

Wenzel's daughter Anna died Sept. 30, 1870 in Cooperstown, Manitowoc Co. The administrator for her estate was Frank Wanish, uncle of the deceased. Her assets were listed as farm animals, 2 cows, 2 horses, 2 calves, etc. with a total value of $282.00. There was no land listed.

The probate file is a thick one and most of the documents are hard to read but I did find what was suspected---Baby Anna died Sept. 30, 1870 and not the mother. Several documents mentioned Anna Rady. I found a paper that listed the Guardians as Wencel Chloupek, #1 and Anna Wanish, #2 for t he child. The child was the heir of Wenzel Wanish's estate which consisted of land which was sold for $558.00 and personal property of farm equipment, 2 cows, 2 horses and harness, 2 calves,. I wonder if that is why a guardian was appointed--because a child was the heir of an estate?????
There were no death records of Wenzel or Baby Anna at the Register of Deeds. As for the spelling of Anna Reling on the marriage of Wenzel and Anna, I still feel that is the spelling after comparing the handwriting to t he other enteries on the same page. Her parents were listed as Geo. and Marie Reling. I agree with you that the name should be Herlik, as that makes sense. On baby Anna's birth info, Herlik is plain as day. Wasn't that odd that the 2 witnesses for Wenzel and Anna's marriage were 2 men? Al so it was a stautory marriage, so that means no church, right?

1777 THE LONDO HOMESTEAD

Photo with article http://digicoll.library.wisc.edu/cgi-bin/WI/WI-idx?type=turn&id=WI.Hewitt&entity=WI.Hewitt.p0094&q1=londo

The Londo family came to Wisconsin from Canada about 1869, when my father, Adlor Londo, was about three years old. They were of French descent and spelled their name Langdeau which was the French spelling. It was later spelled Londo but pronounced the same.

They came as far as Stevens Point by train, and from there to Wausau by ox cart. The family consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Londo and 2 sons and 4 daughters. They purchased the block where the former Bellis Hotel stood now known as Hotel Wausau. They lived there a couple of years and then, my Grandfather homesteaded the North half of what is now the Fraaza Farms in the Town of Hewitt. There were no roads from Wausau out to the property, they had to chop a trail as they went and carry most of their belongings. Indians were living in the woods, and my father told me he used to play with the little Indian children, and he would ask my grandmother for bread and butter for them. He also told me my grandmother raised tomatoes as ornaments and would not leave them eat them as they were poison, but my father tasted them and liked them and ate them when Grandmother was not looking.

He also told of an old man that lived on the property just North of my Grandfather's. His name was Pete Shabuts, and father and his brother liked to play tricks on him. He traveled by dog sled and had a trail through the woods from his place to my grandfathers. One Halloween my Dad and his brother hung his sled up in a tree above the trail, and the old man could not find it. He told them later one day he was going along the trail praying that he would find his sled and he looked up to heaven and there it was hanging.

Gradually roads found their way to the farm and one was on the West side of the property now Highway "J".

My father and mother were married about 1889. A few years later my father took over the farm that my Grandfather, Uncle and my Father had cleared from the woods.

My mother was of German descent and came from Two Rivers, but this was one time the French and Germans agreed.

Our family consisted of 6 children, 3 sons and 3 daughters of which I was the fourth, and we were all raised on the homestead.

The first home I remember was built of 2 by 4's, one spiked on top of the other with square nails. It had a large living room and a huge kitchen
and four bedrooms. It was situated about in the middle of the farm.

During the time we children were growing up, we had a horse that had twin colts which were the delight of the family, and the talk of the neighbors. The mother died when the colts were I month old and we raised them by feeding them milk from a pan. When the pan was empty you had to run as they would turn and kick at you.

About 1913 my father built a new barn that was closer to the highway and a year later a new home was built, which of course we children thought was very grand. About 1930 that home burned down and the house that is presently on the property was built which has been remodeled since.

My brother Edmo took over the farm about 1940. The rest of the family were all married and had homes of their own. He sold the farm to Win. Behnke
about 1950 and it has changed hands several times since. Needless to say my early life was far different than it is now. We had no electricity, no running water, no indoor bathrooms, our bedrooms were very cold in the winter and my mother would heat a brick for us to take to bed to warm our feet. If we wished to go shopping, it was a long trip with horses and the roads were never plowed.

The Badger State hotel at Mishicott has again changed hands, having been sold by Nicholas Nocker to Mr. Creton of that village. The transfer takes place at once. Manitowoc Daily Herald February 9, 1910

Mr. Nic Nocker sold the Badger State House for $7,100 to Mr. F. Creton. Mr. Nocker intends to invest in a small farm. The Manitowoc Pilot, February 10, 1910, Page 8

From the Mishicot Website

The Badget State House was built by brothers and Civil War Veterans August and John Terens not long after they mustered out of the service in 1964. August managed the badger as a hotel and barroom, while John built and operated a hardware store next door. The Badger was the first brick building in Mishicot.

Today, the Badger continues to operate as the Badger Bown and the Cozy Corner Cafe. The upstairs is now a private residence.

The date of the photograph is unknown, but is believed to have been taken around the turn of the century.

1781 The obituary states that the Town of Morrison is in Manitowoc County. It is in Brown. SNYDER, Ralph M. (I6574)
 
1782 The probate file is a thick one and most of the documents are hard to read but I did find what you suspected---Baby Anna died Sept. 30, 1870 and not the mother. Several documents mentioned Anna Rady. I found a paper that listed the Guardians as Wencel Chloupek, #1 and Anna Wanish, #2 for the child. The child was the heir of Wenzel Wanish's estate which consisted of land which was sold for $558.00 and personal property of farm equipment, 2 cows, 2 horses and harness, 2 calves,. I wonder if that is why a guardian was appointed--because a child was the heir of an estate.
There were no death records of Wenzel or Baby Anna at the Register of Deeds. On baby Anna's birth info, Herlik is plain as day.

1786 The St. Peter Herald says that, about three months ago, Herman Freitag, of Brown county, bought a team of horses from Henry Bode, of that city, and took the team from Mr. Bode's barn at Nicollet. About a week ago one of the horses made its escape from the pasture and found its way back to the Nicollet farm, some forty miles distant. The horse unassisted let down the bars, opened the stable door and was found in the morning in its old accustomed stall. Some sagacity about the animal surely. FREITAG, Herman J. (I904)
 
1787 The town board met in special session last Monday and at the request of Joseph Jindra transferred his saloon license to the building owned by him on the opposite side of the road from the old structure destroyed by fire on December 14th. Mr. Jindra, who was more or less seriously affected by inhaling smoke and heat at the time of the blaze, has now quite recovered therefrom. He reports the loss of all his books and papers, which were left downstairs, the safe being on the second floor. He also lost $200 or more in silver and currency, the money having likewise been placed elsewhere than in the receptacle. On top of this a policy for $1,000 had expired a short time before the fire, it being his intention to renew same, but it appears he waited a little too long. His loss will foot up $8,000 at least, with $2,000 insurance, which is a pretty bad blow for the family certainly.
