Kaukauna Time - by Lyle Hansen
June 5, 1919
Elmer Vandeyacht, who was with the 9th
Division A. E. T. and left here last April, returned home Monday having
received his discharge for the Army. Charles Peterson, also an overseas
soldier, arrived home Tuesday evening.
George Hahner, a deaf mute of this city nearly
lost his life last Saturday while crossing from one side of the Lawe street
bridge to the other. He failed to notice an automobile filled with young girls
approaching at breakneck speed, the party being over eager the cross before the
draw opened for a boat. The machine brushed against him as it whizzed by.
Rev. R. M. Peil,
formerly of the U. S. Army is now the assistant Pastor of St. Mary’s Church
Kaukauna.
Sergeant Eugene Nagan arrived here Friday
after landing in the states after almost two years’ service in France. During
his time in service he collected a large number of rare souvenirs of various
foreign countries. The items are on display in the Nagan store window and will
worth an inspection.
Louis Gantter of this city is with Company A,
332 Machine Gun Battalion, Blackhawk division of the A. E. F. was one of two
men selected from his company to participate in the great rifle and pistol
shoot in France on May 4.
Aeroplanes have almost lost their novelty in
this section yet their appearance overhead never fails to attract attention.
Don McDonald, who for some time past has as the
office “devil” made The Times office force “stop and listen,” leaves tomorrow
with his parents for Denver where he will remain. Our “devil” was a great
favorite and he will be missed around The Times.

Kaukauna is assured of at least one paved
street having received notice from the county highway commission that paving will
be laid from Little Chute road down Draper and Diedrich streets to Wisconsin
avenue.
The draw on the Lawe street bridge was opened
for the first time by electricity last Thursday afternoon. A neat little framed
building is attached to the side of the draw in which is housed an electric
motor.

Alexander G. Weise, a member of the 32nd,
Red Arrow division 120 Field Artillery A. E. F., returned home last week after
fourteen months spent in service in France. Although in several of the big
battles he escaped unwounded and reached home in good health.
Corporal Arthur Burns of the 5th
Marines arrived in Kaukauna on a 30-day furlough. He has been on service 1 ½
years.
Little Chute certainly must contain the
fountain of youth for it has more you old men among its inhabitants than any
other village of its size. One of the men is Adrians Gloudeman, who is 97 years
of age but is a steady worker in his garden. The venerable Peter Johannes
Peters, father of the pastor of St. Nicholas church Freedom, who is 87 years
old is a neighbor of Gloudeman and they enjoy fishing together.
John E. Hale, principal of the
Outagamie county training school in Kaukauna has died last week. He was born
here and spent his entire life in Kaukauna. He was principal for the past six
years and his passing removes from amongst us a man who always stood for
personal and civic righteousness.

The dedication of the handsome new church
building of St. Nicholas parish Freedom will take place Tuesday, July 1, at

of the ceremony.
