Another Child Called
Died, in the town of Stockton, Aug. 30th, Charles Ronald Dineen, youngest son of James P. Dineen and wife, aged 2 years, 2 months and 24 days. Just three weeks before his death, little Charlie was taken sick with the whooping cough. From the very commencement, it was apparent the disease had settled on him with an unrelenting grasp. Constant watching and tender care of parents and kind friends seemed of no avail. Day and night he suffered almost untold agony until death came to his relief at half past one on Wednesday last.
Little Charlie, although only two years old, had attended school several days during the past summer, and had always been complimented for his beauty and brightness. Two hours before his death, seeming to realize the parting was near, he fondly caressed his weeping mother's face with his trembling hand. The taking away of such a child from the fond parents, who had centered their affection on him, is a most severe blow, and it was also the first death in a large family. Besides the afflicted parents, he leaves four brothers and two sisters. The funeral took place on Thursday from St. Mary's church at Custer, and was largely attended. Henry and Willie Dineen, Johnnie and Earnie Corrigan, two brothers and two cousins, acted as pall bearers.Helen Hoffman Dineen

Death of Michael Doyle
In the death of Michael Doyle, Sr., who departed this life at his home in the town of Stockton on Friday forenoon last, Portage county loses another of its early residents. He was taken ill just one week before his death, but nothing serious was apprehended for two or three days thereafter, and almost up to the time of his death it was not thought there would be a fatal termination. Always of a robust constitution, Mr. Doyle was never sick but once before, and that was one year ago, when he was quite ill with the same complaint, pneumonia, that finally claimed him as its victim. The deceased was born in the county of Wicklow, Ireland, and was in the 75th year of his age. He emigrated to Canada in 1849, where he was married in 1851, and in 1855 himself and family came to Wisconsin, direct to Stevens Point, and taking up a homestead in the town where he died. His wife died on the 22d of February, 1878, and he leaves seven children, Michael, John and Thos. of this city, Richard of Stockton, and Peter, Martin and Maggie, who live upon the farm, besides one stepdaughter, Mrs. Michael Nugent, of Hull, and two brothers, John and Michael, and one sister, Mrs. John Conniff, of Stockton. The deceased was one of the most honorable of men, good hearted and true, always willing to help one in need, friend or stranger. He was respected by all who knew him and dearly loved by his children, and relatives. The funeral, which was held from St. Mary's church in the town of Stockton on Sunday afternoon last, was one of the largest ever seen in the county, there being one hundred and sixteen teams in line. The pall bearers were Chas. Dineen, Hugh Black, Owen Fehely, Patrick O'Keefe, Timothy Leary and Matthew Heffron.Michael Doyle

Dies at Rhinelander
Thomas Doyle, 76, a veteran northern Wisconsin lumberman and a native of the town of Stockton, died Saturday morning at 6:45 o'clock at his home at Rhinelander. He was a brother of Mrs. Agnes Dunn of Stevens Point.
Mr. Doyle's death, caused from heart trouble, ended 54 years of service with the Brown Brothers Lumber company at Rhinelander. He was one of the best known pioneers among early loggers. He was born on May 22, 1860, in the town of Stockton, the son of Peter and Elizabeth Doyle. He received his education in the schools of Portage county and then attended business school at Oshkosh.
He then went to work as a woodsman, and was employed in some of the first camps and log drives on the Plover and Pine rivers. He went to Rhinelander in 1882 with the Brown brothers. During his first two winters there he sawed in the woods, then followed a winter of loading logs and two winters of skidding. Later he became camp foreman, running camps for several winters and for 15 years operating a boom. For the next 13 years he was walking boss for the Browns, looking after their timberland right-of-ways. With the removal of the timber, he continued to have charge of the land holdings.
He was married in 1889 to Mary Murphy who died in 1891. His marriage to Miss Mary Slattery of Wisconsin Rapids took place on August 16, 1893.
Surviving are his wife, four children, Harold Doyle and Miss Gertrude Doyle of Rhinelander, Mrs. Viola Hoyt of Chicago and Mrs. Elmira Plants of Evanston, Illinois, and three sisters, Mrs. Frank Wood of Williams, Oregon, Miss Rena Doyle of Duluth, Minnesota, and Mrs. Dunn.

Mr. Doyle's woods activities and popularity were recorded when he was selected as one to help capture the mythical hodag near Rhinelander several years ago. He was prominently mentioned by the late Eugene Shepard in the nationally famous poem "The Round River Drive," and by other writers of the old logging days.Thomas J. Doyle

MISS ANNA DAWSON CALLED BY DEATH
WELL KNOWN RESIDENT OF COUNTY DIES TUESDAY AT HOSPITAL--HOLD FUNERAL FRIDAY
Miss Anna Dawson, a lifelong resident of Portage county and one of its most respected residents, died at St. Michael's hospital at 11:30 o'clock Tuesday night. Miss Dawson had been in poor health for a year or more suffering with anaemia, and during much of this time lived with a sister, Mrs. J. M. Higgins in the town of Stockton. Miss Dawson's condition became very serious last week, when it was deemed advisable to transfer her to the hospital, but she sank very fast during the past few days.
Miss Dawson was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Michael Dawson who were numbered among the pioneers of this section, and was born in Stockton, Oct. 26, 1861. She therefore expired on her fifty-ninth birthday anniversary. After completing her studies at the rural school, she became a seamstress and followed this vocation almost continually until very recently. For a portion of this time she made her home in Stevens Point and enjoyed a large acquaintance among our people. The announcement of her death will be learned with deep regret.
The deceased is survived by three brothers and four sisters: D. E. Dawson of Portland, Ore., John Dawson of Posser, Wash., Michael of Wausau, Mrs. Mary O'Meara of Cass Lake, Minn., Mrs. Martin Heffron and Mrs. John M. Higgins of Stockton and Miss Alice Dawson of this city.
The body was taken to the Higgins home today and on Friday morning will be taken to St. Mary's church, Custer, where services will be conducted at 10 o'clock by Rev. L. Schorn. Interment takes place in the parish cemetery.

JAMES DOUGHERTY DIES AT AMHERST FUNERAL THURSDAY
Civil War Veteran and For Many Years a Resident in the Town of Lanark, Passes Away Tuesday
(Special to the Journal)
Amherst, Wis., Aug. 26---James Dougherty, a veteran soldier of the Civil war, passed away at his home on Pond street here Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock after an illness of several months.
Mr. Dougherty was born in Ohio January 12, 1846. When a lad of four years he moved with his parents to Bluegrass, Ia., where he resided until the Civil war broke out. Filled with a spirit of patriotism he ran away from home and enlisted in the 5th Iowa Cavalry, Co. E, at the age of 16. He served with this company until the close of the war.
He was disabled by illness and spent a short time in a hospital at Memphis Tenn., and in 1866 came to Stevens Point and later to the town of Lanark, where he purchased some land and laid the foundation for his home.
Mr. Dougherty was married to Miss Mary Ferris July 28, 1874, who died May 5, 1920.
They were the parents of nine children, six of whom survive. One son died in infancy, one daughter, Mrs. Jewell Young of Almond and a son James Dougherty, Jr., also preceded them in death.
Those who survive are: Mrs. Katherine Riley, Mrs. Rose Clinton, John and William Dougherty, all of Lanark, Mrs. Marguerite Otten of Milwaukee and Miss Vivian Dougherty, at home.
Mr. Dougherty was a faithful member of the G. A. R. and of the Catholic church. The funeral will be held at 9 o'clock Thursday morning at St. Patrick' church in Lanark, with burial in the parish cemetery.
He had been a resident of the village nearly four years, when he sold his farm and purchased the home on Pond street where he passed away. His wife was taken ill soon after their little home was made ready for them and their moving here was delayed from week to week, expecting she would recover, but she never lived to enter the new house.
From September 12, 1923, to May 17, 1924, he was a resident at the Veterans' Home at Waupaca and came here in May to spend a month's furlough. He was taken ill here and never recovered sufficiently to return to the Home.
Village residents will miss Mr. Dougherty from the community, although of late he had mingled but little with the people because of his illness.Mary Ferris Dougherty

RESIDENT OF LANARK IS CALLED BY DEATH
Mrs. James Dougherty Dies While Husband and Daughter Wait for Her in New Home --
News of Amherst
Amherst, May 10--The report of the death of Mrs. James Dougherty, which occurred at her old home in Lanark last Wednesday, came as a shock to all, although many had known of her illness for some time. Mr. and Mrs. Dougherty sold their farm in Lanark this spring and had recently purchased a small home in the village, where they had planned to take life a little easier after their long active life on the farm. Mrs. Dougherty was ill at the time of the sale, but Mr. Dougherty and his daughter moved here, where they had their new home furnished and only waited for the time when the dear wife and mother could come to them and enjoy their home with them. For a few days, they felt encouraged over her progress and expected she could soon be moved. Then came a relapse and she grew gradually worse until the end came to relieve her suffering. Although but little known to us here, Mrs. Dougherty had the respect and love of the community where she had lived so long, and the family, which consists of the widowed husband and several children, have the heartfelt sympathy of a host of friends and neighbors in their sad loss.
The funeral took place Saturday at 10 a.m. from St. Patrick's Catholic church in Lanark.
