  • Notes 
    • Joseh Alears died at his home in the fourth ward on Saturday, one of the early settlers of the Southern part of the county.
      He had been ill for a considerable length of time and for a month or more, the end had been expected.

      Mr. Alears was 79 years old, having been born in Antwerp, Belgium, City of Lier on April 28, 1847.
      He came to this country in 1868, locating at Green Bay, where he was united in marriage the following year to Henrietta Corsten.

      He was a blacksmith by trade and followed this vocation all his life. After his marriage, he went to Bay Settlement, where he made his home for 13 years, then moving to Brussels and living there for 15 years; then coming to Sawyer about 1900, where he has since made his home.

      Mr. Alears is survived by his wife and eleven children:
      John of Carlsville; Mrs. John (Josephine) Moore of Institute; Mrs. John (Dora) Tooner of DePere; Mrs. John (Mary) Moll of Mukawanago; Mrs. S.W. (Rose) Davison; Mrs. Alfred (Kathryn) Krueger; Joseph of Milwaukee; Edward of DePere; Henry of Milwaukee and Mrs. Phil (Alvina) Hoffman of Milwaukee. All came here to attend the funeral.

      Funeral services were held on Tuesday morning at Corpus Christi church with Rev. H. Pfeifer officiating.
      Six grandsons acted as pall bearers: Peter and Linus Toonen; Edward and William Moore; John Alears, Jr and Hugh Alears. There are twenty grandchildren and three great-grandchildren surviving.
