464 | Death of a Pioneer of Wisconsin Messrs. Editors: I observed in your paper of last Thursday an account of the death of old Jacques Vieau, extracted from the Green Bay paper. As there are several errors in that account, and as the public are interested in knowing accurate particulars concering those names will pass into history as the pioneers of our young and rapidly growing state, I feel at liberty, from my long accquaintance with the deceased, to give you a correct statement. Jacques Vieau, was of French extraction and was born in Lower Canada. He came to Wisconsin in 1786, and he resided nearly the whole of the time at Green Bay, where he owned a fram (sic), and was an Indian trader. I have known him for thirty-four years. He was fifty-six when I became acquainted with him, and consequently was ninety when he died. Mr. Vieau married at thirty-six, and lived with his wife to the day of his death. His amiable wife still survives him at the good old age of seventy-two, in the enjoyment of health and all her faculties. Mr. Vieau was an industrious, upright and honorable man; and highly respected for his many virtues by all who knew him. At one time he had accumulated , by his industry, prudence and economy, a handsome property, but reverses came and swept it away, and at the time of his death he was poor. The changes that have occurred in this state since I first became acquainted with Mr. Vieau, seem more like a dream than reality. At that time Green Bay and Prairie du Chien were the only places in the state that bore any trace of civilized life. All the rest was an unbroken wilderness. Here and there, at great distances, was a solitary hut, in which lived some restless pioneer, ever retreating as civilization advanced, and following the sports of Nimrod and the disciples of Walton, with a success that amateurs of the pressent day do not dream of. In 1836 Wisconsin was organized as a territory, having before that time been known as a part of that tract known as the north westren territory. The only inhabitants where Milwaukee now stands, was a log house, on the present site of Ludington's store. It was built by a man amed Le Clair-I remember not how long ago. Indians belonging to the Chippewa, Pottawotamie, Ottawa and Menomonee tribes ranged through the vast forests, and over the wide prairies. Now all is changed. the old settler is lost in the progress of improvements. Cities, teaming with a busy population, now stand where I have stood in what was a solitary wilderness. The lake, that now bears so many vesselts upon its bosom, was then unruffled save by storms-the rivers that were then undisturbed save by the light canoe are now beaten ito foam by the factor wheels. A younger generation occupy the Indian's hunting grounds and cover them with yellow grain. The old settlers, like Vieau, have passed most of them long since, to their last homes. They were a brave and hardy and industrious racc(sic, and those who occupy their place should not forget them.

467 | Death of Solomon Juneau-The Milwaukee papers bring an account of the death of Solomon Juneau, the earliest settler in eastern Wisconsin; the founder and first mayor of Milwaukee. He died at the Indian Payment in Shawano county, on friday the 14th Inst., He came to the place where MIlwaukee now stands thirty-eight years ago; established a trading post for the Indians there; and built the first log house in 1822, and the first framed house in 1824. He has reared a family of fourteen children, thirteen of whom were born in Milwaukee.He was universally esteemed as an upright, useful man.

Wisconsin Mirror Tue, Nov 25, 1856 ·Page 2 This article was published in many papers but was later redacted, remining people that although Solomon Juneau was the first mayor of Milwaukee, the Vieau family were the first settlers. | JUNEAU, Solomon (I7892)

480 | Died At the residence of H.K. White, in this city, on the 19th inst., JOSETTE, wife of SOLOMON JUNEAU. The deceased had been in poor health for some time and I came here with her husband from their residence in the country, for medical advice and treatment. There was nothing in the nature of her disease calculated to excite alarm ; in fact, she appeared to be improving, but while her friends were flushed with alarm and congratulating her upon a speedy recovery, she died! so sudden was her exit from this to the sprit land. The death of this good woman deserves more than a passing notice; more than a simple record of the fact that she lived and died. Her history is intimately connected with that of our city and State, from their earliest settlement. Indeed, her life has been an eventful one, inasmuch as she has been called to pass through all the phases, hardships and trials, incidents, to the settlement of a new country. Mrs. Juneau was the daughter of Jacques Vieau, late of Green Bay, and was born in April, 1804; consequently at her death she was fifty-one years of age. She resided at Green Bay and vicinity until 1820, when she was married to Mr. Juneau, who was then engaged as a trader on the spot where our city is now located; whither she removed soon after her marriage. Here, in this then lonely wilderness, with no society or sympathizing of friends, except what she found in the bosom of her own family, she started anew on the journey of life and with patience, shared with her husband the hardships and self denials of a border life; and for thirteen years, up to 1835, there was scarcely an incident to break this monotonous mode of living. The nearest white settlement on the north being Green Bay, and on the south, Chicago. In 1833, the tide of emigration flowing into the Mississippi Valley found its way to this locality, known then only as a trading post.. Very soon, however, the spirit of enterprise, so rife at that day, projected a city, and in a brief period, the advantages of Milwaukee became extensively known, and its progress has been gradual, until the spot marked only by the trader's cabin, has become a populous city, and the above of civilization and refinement. This great change the deceased lived to witness; and she has done her part towards laying the foundations of society here for future generations. But she has gone to her final rest; and how fitting and how consolotary the thought to her friends, that after having from choice removed to a more quiet rural retreat in the country, away from the bustle of the city, still she should return to die upon the very spot from whence she started out on life's great voyage, and surrounded by all the endearing associations of her earlier days. Mrs. Juneau was educated in the Catholic faith, and for many years has been a devoted and consistent member of the church. Her christian virtues were eminently illustrated by her benevolent acts. Her charities were never confined within the narrow limits of a sect or creed, but the suffereing poor, the sick and afflicted of every creed and condition in life, within the range of her acquaintance, were made the happy recipients of her kindness and bounty; and every class of suffering humanity always found in her a warm and sympathising heart. She was a fond, faithful and a devoted wife, an affectionate and loving mother. Her bereaved husband as he now moves in his lonely pilgrim age will cherish with meek rememberance her many virtues and the numerous children she has left behind, will never forget their fond, indugent and affectionate mother. The deceased has also left a large circle of friends who have known her intimately for the past fifteen or twenty years and admired her simplicity of character, her truthfulness and amiability, who will deeply sympathize with the family their sad breavement. But all are consoled with the belief that what is loss to her family and friends is infinite gain to her. "Seet is the sceen where virtue dies, Where sinks a silent soul to rest."

488 | DIES FOR COUNTRY Three more Door County Boys Fall on Battlefield of France in Recent Fight. Belong to Fighting Co. F. Joseph Jindra, Nasewaupee, Gilbert Vetting, Egg Harbor, and Elmer Tweedale of Sevastopol Killed. The lives of three more of Door county's brave boys have been given to their country in defense of its honor and ideal of a world democracy. In the mail on Saturday a letter was received from a friend stating that Joseph Jindra had fallen in the second day of the big offensive and died later while being removed to the rear. No word of the death has been received from official sources so that the letter was a great shock and surprise to the afflicted relatives as there was an air of uncertainty about whether it was really true. The news of the death of Private Jindra was received in the following letter to his sister: Somewhere in France, Aug. 15, 1918 Miss Anna Jindra: Kind Friend:--No doubt you will be quite surprised to hear from me, as I am unknown to you. But I was a very intimate friend of your brother Joseph and one of his last words was to write to his parents and friends at home and them where and how it happened. You have probably heard by this time that your brother was killed in action about July 19th toward Soissons. He pulled through the first day OK but on the morning of the 19th was severely wounded and after he was taken to the first aid station and was being evacuated to the rear he died. He was buried with military honors in a small town in France, the name of which I am not allowed to mention. He left many friends in the company and regiment, who all regret his death. I have some letters from his friends and yourself which he left and if you care for them I will forward them to you. I remain, Your unknown friend. Forrest D. Higgins Co. F. 28th U.S. Inf., A.E.F. Private Joseph Jindra was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Jindra of Nasewaupee. He was born in that town on July 31, 1893 being 25 years old at the time of his death. He was a member of Co.F., Fifth Wis. Vol. which company was organized in this city in May 1917, being among the first to place his name on the roster of the organization. He leaves to mourn his loss his parents, three brothers and a sister, the latter being Harry, Clarence, Vincent and Anna.

Tuma Among Soldiers Killed In Crash County Family Had Talked by Telephone With Korea Returnee TWO RIVERS - Pfc. Donald G. Tuma, 20, son of Mr. and Mrs. Doolan Tuma of Rt. 2, Two Rivers, residing just north of Larrabee on Highway Q, was among 27 soldiers homeward bound for the holidays from Korean service to be killed Friday when a chartered airliner crashed after a takeoff from Seattle, Wash.

Up to 11 a.m. Saturday the family received no official government announcement of the youth's death, however. Tuma entered the service nearly two years ago and served more than 18 months with the U. S. Army in Korea. He would have had another year to serve before his discharge. Donald Tuma was born in the Town of Gibson on Oct. 10, 1935, and was graduated from Mishicot High School with the class of 1953. In high school he took an active part in the Future Farmers of America program. Besides his parents he leaves two sisters, Janice and Joanne at home, and six brothers, James of Manitowoc arid Richard, Wayne, Gregory, Peter and Paul Tuma on the home farm. SEATTLE (AP) Government investigators met here today to begin the work of piecing together the broken fragments of a wrecked airliner and the stories of the people who saw it die. This much they knew. Twenty-seven men died when a big Peninsular Air Transport Co., plane bounced to explosive destruction early yesterday in the backyard of a suburban home. And 47 other persons, including a woman and three small children, survived. There were some discrepancies in the accounts of eyewitnesses and men who were in the plane as passengers or pilots. And the only sizable remaining piece of the once large DC4 is its tail surface, still resting in a charred backyard amidst a rubble of melted and twisted metal. The investigators said they had no preconceived notions what caused the Miami-based plane to falter two miles south of Boeing Field, its takeoff point, hit a tree, a utility pole, and a garage and then break up and burn in the backyard of the Colin Dearing home. But sabotage, which caused the destruction of a United Air Lines plane near Longmont, Colo., with a loss of 44 lives carry this month, seemed unlikely to David Nelson, supervising agent for the Seattle office of the Civil Aeronautics Administration. Engine Trouble Reported Richard D. Auerbach, special agent in charge of the Seattle Federal Bureau of Investigation Office, said his office had found nothing to indicate the likelihood of sabotage. Two men who watched the plane's final few yards of flight, said its engines were failing and one had even quit. E. J. Rice who was close enough to feel the heat of the flames when the plane's heavily loaded gas tanks exploded with dreadful results said the engines were "poppin' and sputtering." Herbert Gardiner said one of the engines sounded flat and no exhaust was visible from another. Fred Hall, copilot from Miami, agreed one engine had given trouble "right after the takeoff." But he said, "the other three engines were functioning perfectly. That's enough to get that type of plane up without too much trouble." He couldn't say, though, why the plane began to settle in a matter of seconds after the takeoff instead of gaining the altitude it needed so badly to clear the hill south of the runway. | TUMA, PFC Donald Gene (I437)

500 | Driver Didn't Know he Broke Off Pole; reads Report in the Paper Having read in The Reporter that police were searching for a motorist who skidded into and broke off a telephone pole on Forest avenue early Sunday morning, William Chaloupka, Jr. of Mishicot route 1 reported to Chief of Police Edward F. Pazdera yesterday that he was the offender. Chaloupka told the chief that he was not aware that he broke off the pole having skidded some distance because of the slippery conditions of the pavement. He reported that he saw the article in the paper and had no intentions of being a hit and run driver and wished to report the matter. Chaloupka made arrangements to pay for the damages and he reported the accident to his insurance carrier. Chief of Police Edward F. Pazdera today expressed his thanks the The Reporter in its assistance in clearing up the case. Two Rivers Reporter Thu, Feb 10, 1944 ·Page 3 | CHALOUPKA, William Clarence Jr. (I393)
