Time Machine Trip to August 1902

August 1, 1902
Julius Kuehn has set the pace in the building of a new cement sidewalk in front of his business block of Second Street, and several others have fallen in line for the same kind of substantial   improvement. A cement walk is by far the cheapest in the long run and is generally being adopted in all of the larger cities. When once laid in the proper form, it will remain for a life time. The life of a board walk is only seven years, at best.

The infant child of Albert Kirns, aged 2 years, lost its middle finger yesterday. It was chopped off by his four-year-old brother while the children were at play in the woodshed. The bone was badly crushed and the finger hanging by a mere thread, so that Dr. Blair had to amputate it.



King Edward VIII of the United Kingdom and Queen Alexandra were crowned at Westminster Abbey on August 9.

Twenty-five years ago, next Sunday, way back in 1877 when Kaukauna was but a small village and the south side of the river was still a wilderness only dotted here and there by fields of cultivated farm lands, Rev, R. Pieper gathered a few of the Lutheran faith in this vicinity together and founded the Evangelical Lutheran Trinity Church of Kaukauna.

August 29, 1902
Mrs. Sarah Jane Lawe Grignon of Green Bay, youngest sister of the late Geo. W. Lawe of this city and the last remaining member of the Lawe family, died at Green Bay Friday. She was the only surviving daughter of Judge John Lawe and the widow of Alex Grignon, a very early settler of Kaukauna.
