Time Machine Trip to October 1955

By Lyle Hansen

October 5, 1955

A fun and thrill packed four days of activities will start Thursday when the Kaukauna Fall Festival begins. Such crowd pleasers as a mammoth parade, a display of fireworks, carnival rides, free public dances, free movies, a band concert and the appearance of one of the Fox River Valley’s most popular orchestras, cousin Fuzzy, are all in the offering for the four-day period.

A couple has a little spat as happens even in the best families. Today was the 
day they had planned to give the basement its annual cleaning. She went down the steps into the basement and her husband following. Silently they went about their work, not speaking a word. After two hours of painful silence she became more miserable and he seemingly more stubborn each moment. After the work was done to perfection she turned and started toward the stairs. Reaching out her husband stopped her and put both arms around her. “Why didn’t you do that two hours ago?” she asked. “Because you work so good when you’re mad.”

The Rev. J. S. Whiting of the Oneida M. E. Church on the Oneida Reservation is a war time pastor who is “making good.” His salary not being sufficient to make both end meet he has engaged in farming on the land comprising the Mission. He has succeeded in raising a fine farm crop. In addition, he has a herd of 15 cows which he milks himself.

Albert Koelm has brightened the face of the clock in the tower of Holy Cross church with a fresh coat of paint, finishing the work this morning.  The clock measures seven feet and the hands are two and a half feet long.

War has opened to women a variety of work hitherto regarded as men’s work. Today there are 1,500,000 women engaged on “War Orders.”

October 11, 1918

The St. Nicholas school in Freedom is closed this week on account of sickness. There is no Spanish influenza in Freedom, but an unusual amount of scarlet fever and other diseases make closing the school wise precaution.

Lawrence McDaniels, age 26 years, formerly of the south side passed away Monday at Muscle Shoals, Ala. Where he has been employed the past two years by the government in a nitro plant. Spanish Influenza was the cause of his death.

Leo Van Roy, aged 24 years, of Kaukauna, died at Camp Taylor, Ky. Tuesday of Spanish influenza. He was a soldier in the army in training to go to France.

The Dressmaker – Ah, my dear madam, I consider that the most perfect fit I have ever seen.

My dear Madam – Perfect fit, fiddle-sticks! You should see the one my husband will have when he sees the price.  

October 18, 1918

My Dear Mrs. Thorsen, Ashland, Wisconsin:

Do not think me intrusive for writing you but I was with your boy when he died, and I want you to know how sweet and calm he was when he left us. We did everything in our power to save him, but it was of no avail. He called “Mother” at the last. My love and sympathy are all yours and when I return to Wisconsin I would like to see you in person.

Most sincerely yours in sympathy, Clair Fell, nurse.

(Miss Claire Fell of Kaukauna is a nurse in France.)

The remains of Private Paul Thelan, who died last Tuesday at Camp Meade, Maryland, arrived here Monday morning and was taken to his sisters’ home in Sherwood for burial.

Mrs. Theodore Vanden Broek of this city received a telegram from the war department at Washington. “Regret to inform you that Private Martin Vanden Broek, Infantry, previously listed as missing in action July 20 is now reported as killed in action the same day. The sympathy of the community is with the parents of the young hero.

George McDaniels at Camp Zachary, Ky., died following an attack of Spanish influenza. The young soldier was laid to rest in the family lot by the side of his father at St. Nicholas cemetery, Freedom.

Private Joseph Creviere, 25 south side of Kaukauna, was the first one of Kaukauna’s soldier boys to be claimed by Spanish influenza. His death occurred Sunday at Camo Hancock, Georgia. On Saturday his parents Mr. and Mrs. Emery A. Creviere received a message informing them the seriousness of his case and Monday a second message followed informing the grief-stricken parent of his death.

John Heup, aged 28 years, passed away Saturday after a battle with Spanish Influenza. He is survived by his wife, mother, one brother and two sisters.  

October 25, 1918

Dr. Nolan, city health officer, received an order from the state board of health at Madison compelling him to take necessary steps to control the spread of the Spanish influenza. Public gatherings will not be allowed. This includes church services, schools, picture shows, lodge meetings and other public gatherings. The Public Library was closed last Saturday for an indefinite period due to the influenzas epidemic.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dreger of this city received a letter stating that their son William was killed in action on the French Front. An inquiry was initiated. He was reported as missing in action by his company commander and a search of the hospitals failed to locate him. It is equally likely that the young soldier may have been taken prisoner by the Germans instead of being killed.

Time Machine Trip to October 1908

By Lyle Hansen

October 2, 1908

Kaukauna was visited by a heavy downpour of rain Sunday night that extinguished the forest fires in this vicinity and cleared the atmosphere generally. The rain started in Sunday morning and continued at intervals throughout the day, but scarcely enough fell to lay the dust. Late Sunday night, however, the wind shifted, whereupon the earth was given a drenching. Had not relief come as it did the chances are that the city would have suffered considerable damage by fire.

A large fire in Fond du Lac was reported.  The city lost three churches and a parsonage.  Also lost were a garage with 7 automobiles, a public school and several homes. Total loss estimates to be $250,000.00.

That John Hoolihan narrowly escaped death at the steam plant of Thilmany mills a few days ago is not doubted by anyone who witnessed the accident. The blow off connection under boiler No. 1, with a heavy head of steam forcing it, gave way suddenly and the contents of boiling water and steam came gushing out into the boiler room. Mr. Hoolihan has just passed in front of the opening and stood only a few inches at one side when the explosion occurred.  With presence of mind he jumped to open the water supply pipe to lessen the force of the hot water and steam and was knocked down. He was sent to the floor twice before he accomplished the act. His hands and arms were slightly scalded in several places.

October 16, 1908

There promises to be more activity in the woods this coming winter than several seasons. The forest fires have destroyed a large number of trees, and others have only been burned out on the outside, and these lumbermen propose to save as far as possible, and they are now busy in rebuilding the camps that were burned. A large number of men are now preparing to go to the woods for the winter, who have been idle all summer. The wages paid will be good, and prosperity will once again reign among the woodsmen.

The city has agreed to a five-year contract with the Kaukauna Gas, Electric Light and Power Company for street lighting.  The agreement includes that the lights must remain on all night and every night.  The dark streets will now be a thing of the past.

Kaukauna is threatened with an ice famine. The ice houses of the North-Western Railway company are empty and that of the city dealers is nearly so. Two or three weeks more will exhaust the supply. For several days the railway people were depending on the local dealers who finally had to cancel their order, in order to supply their regular customers. The shortage is due to the long hot summer.

October 6, 1899

Hardware men are kept busy these days setting up stoves. The cold weather came unexpectedly, and about three weeks earlier than usual.  A number of old residents are scratching their heads and trying to think just what year was as cold as this during the month of September.

The Combined Locks Paper company let all the water out of their pond above the dam Tuesday for the first time in ten years. As the dam is twenty-one feet in height and flows back three-fourths of a mile it contained a vast amount of water. The greatest sight caused by the emptying of the pond was the fish which made their home in its depths. The news soon spread, and people came with pails, bags and boxes. Thousands were secured and carted away in wagons.

Indiana has carried back to the South the Confederate flag which her soldiers captured from Terry’s Texas Rangers in the Civil War.

She stated that for l years she had symptoms of movement and jumping.

October 27, 1899

It is said that there is not an idle brick layer or stone mason, plasterer, or carpenter in the city of Kaukauna. It is certain there never was a better demand for such laborers. Russell Bros. has been looking several days for stone masons without avail, to do work on their wheel pit.

Will Rogers Says – A Democrat is naturally windier than a Republican. He is out of office more and has more time to think of things to say. All a Republican has to say is “I'm in try and try to get me out.” While with a Democrat he only has to say something that'll get the Republican out and will also get him in. 

     The voters now go to the polls in an automobile, but they don't carry anymore in their heads than the old timer who went there on a mule, so the old bunk that you cannot fool the voter is the biggest bunk there is; he has been fooled all his life and he always will be fooled.
