Waukesha Freeman, Thursday, August 14, 1902 | Page 7

On Sunday morning Lansing E. Hall died at his farm home, three miles west of Eagle after a long illness. His death was foreshadowed for some time and came as a relief from months of suffering. Mr. Hall was born in Koshkonong, January 7, 1850, and was a son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Hall, early settlers of that town. The family afterwards resided in Whitewater, Fast Troy and Genesee, where Mr. Hall was engaged in farming. At Genesee he with his brother operated the flouring mill for a time, prior to which time he was in the retail meat business in Marsalltown, Iowa.  He came to Eagle about 18 years ago and purchased the farm on which his family now reside—was married to Miss Kate A Webster by whom he had three children: Bert, Mildred E., and Bessie all whom living and at home.  In politics Mr. Hall was a Democrat and held the office of town treasurer, chairman of the board of supervisors and justice of the peace.  He was a kind and hospitable man and by his genial ways made life pleasant to all round him.

The last days of his life he devoted to consoling his family and so arranged his affairs that they may live in ease and comfort.  He was strictly honest in his dealings which with his charitable and friendly disposition endeared him to all.  He was a member of Eagle Camp M.W. of a. No. 1119, and for the past six years was Venerable Consul, an office which he filled in the most satisfactory and dignified manner.  In the camp room he was a light and blessing and as a presiding officer he had no equal.  The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon from the family residence and was in charge of Eagle camp of Modern Woodmen.  The ceremonies were very impressive.  Rev. S. Lugg of the M.E. church of Palmyra, assisted and offered a prayer.  Interment was in the Oak Ridge cemetery at Eagle.  The procession which followed the remains to their last and long reposes was the largest ever seen in Eagle and evidenced the friendship and esteem in which was held.  We all extend our sympathy to the family.

Murdered at Pewaukee Discovery of the Body of a Negro near the Lake

Waukesha, Aug. 5-A party of picnicers from Milwaukee made a ghastly discovery this morning at Rocky Point, Pewaukee Lake. when strolling about in the woods they suddenly came upon the dead body of a negro, which afterward proved to be that of Ed. Harris, a waiter in the Fountain House, in Waukesha. Last night about forty negroes and twelve white girls went from Waukesha to Pewaukee, where they were joined by other waiters from the Watson House. The entire party embarked on the Lady of the Lake, and were taken to Rocky Point, where they inaugurated their baccbanalian revels and indulged in actions that may better be left to the imagination than described in this dispatch. Several rows are known to have occurred during the night. Harris is supposed to have paid attentions to one of the women that were resented by her dusky gallant, and to have been ruthlessly slaughtered to make a negro holiday. When found he had a razor in his pocket. An inquest was held by a Justice of the Peace at Pewaukee to-day, and Dr. Hewitt, of that place, who made the examination, testified that the back of Harris's head had been crushed in with some blunt instrument causing his death. Dist. Atty. Thomas says he will summons every waiter in the Fountain House as a witness in further proceedings with are to be taken to discover the murderer. The liveryman at Waukesha from whom the party hired and teams to go to Pewaukee, says that the negroes abused the horses terribly, and that the buggies were filled with stones and clubs when returned. The murder created great excitement at Pewaukee, Lake Side and Waukesha.

CITY'S OLDEST RESIDENT DIES
Jacob Harris Succumbs at Age of 98
Death at an early hour today ended the long span of years of Waukesha's oldest resident, Jacob Harris, 98, at the home of a daughter, Mrs. Thomas Russell, 115 Spring Street. Dropsy, coupled with old age, caused his death.

The deceased had been a resident of Waukesha county since 1836 coming here that year with his parents. He was born in New York state, Oct. 30, 1831.

Mr. Harris wove many a story around the early days of Waukesha and took particular interest in telling how people, including himself, would walk to Milwaukee and back for sacks full of bread. He remembered when Waukesha was part of a great expanse of prairie land. So impressed were residents with the flat land, only now and then disturbed by slight rolls, that they called the community Prairieville, the name which clung as late as 1895.

The deceased is survived by Mrs. John Schaeffel, Mrs. Russell, John, William and James Harris all children, of Waukesha: Abe Harris, Wittenberg, Wis., a half brother, Alonzo Kellogg of Milwaukee. There are 20 grandchildren and 24 great grandchildren.

Funeral services will beheld from the home on Spring street, Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Interment will be in Prairie Home cemetery, Rev. A. L. Drake officiating.

He is buried in Prairie Home Cemetery, Waukesha.

FRED L. HOCKMUTH -SUDDENLY TAKEN HENCE

It was with much regret that the neighbors and friends of Fred L. Hockmuth, learned of his sudden demise at his farm home in Germantown last Saturday morning, the immediate cause of dissolution being heart disease. He was in his usual health right up to that evening. Before retiring he complained of a pain in his left arm and shoulder but did not think it serious. Along about two o'clock it became worse and his wife put in a call for a physician, but before his arrival, he had passed away.

Deceased was 46 years 11 months and 29 days of age. He formerly lived at Hartland where he was a blacksmith. About seven years ago he decided to quit the trade and purchased the William H. Connell farm. He was a hard worker, a good friend and neighbor and a devoted husband and father. His going from those near and dear will be a great sorrow. The Funeral services were held Wednesday at 10 A.M. at the home of John Hockmuth, Hartland. Rev. W. C. Ueble officiating.

He is survived by his wife, Amelia, one son, Fred, Jr. and a daughter, Alma who live at home with their mother. Burial was held at the Hartland Cemetery.

At his residence in Genesee, Wis., on the 16th inst. Deacon Lyman Holt, in the 80th year of his age.

Deacon Holt was born in Norfolk, Conn.  At the age of 22 he emigrated to the western part of New York.  From thence, some 20 years ago, he removed to Genesee, in this county, where he spent the remainder of his earthly existence beloved and respected, and died lamented.  He was one of those men whose memory is embalmed in the affections of all who knew him.  Assuming the obligations of a Christian profession at an early age he made the teachings of the Bible the rule both of his faith and practice in all the relations of life.  Hence while his doctrinal views were orthodox according to the Puritanac standards, he lived in the exercise of the largest charity towards all who receive Christ as the Savior.  The Gospel of Christian the provisions of which he relied as the ground of his acceptance with God, waste him a real and rich source of-comfort during the whole of his earthly pilgrmage, and when its close drew near he found he had not misplaced his confidence. That Savior in whom he had trusted in youth, manhood and old age, was with him as he entered the dark valley, and gave him cheering anticipations of the glorious interitance that awaited him.

He has gone to his grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in his ??? and leaves his aged companionn and a numberous circle of relatives and friends to mourn that one so good and loved should grow old and die.

It was his dying request that this be done. About his grave was a large concourse of citizens, including half a hundred members of the W.B.

Mr. Howe was born in Ludlow, Vermont, in 1843. At the age of 18 he enlisted in the New Hampshire Volunteers. After the war he went to Massachusetts, and in 1870 to Minneapolis, where he built the present city hall. He came to Waukesha in '76. He was a man of intense energy and unusual ability in his line of work, contracting and building. Some of his largest contracts were the new Putney Block, the Spring City Hotel and the Terrace, of this village; the Belvedere Block, Milwaukee; the Public Library at Beaver Dam; the Hotel Walworth, at Whitewater. He also built all the depots and bridges on the Madison division of the St. Paul Railway. He was married in 1864 at Sarasota Springs, and is survived by his wife and two sons, Elmer E. and Clarence. Mr. Howe was a highly valued and universally esteemed citizen, whose loss is deeply deplored. Funeral services were held at the residence on Racine Avenue, Rev. C.W. Camp officiating.
