| 4602 | from "The La Crosse Tribune", 11 Dec 1905 (newspapers.com) HOLZHAMMER, "ICE KING", GONE George Holzhammer, Sr., the "Ice King", and one of the most prominent of the elder settlers in this part of the country, is dead. The end came at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon at the home of his son, George Holzhammer, Jr., on the Mormon conlee road, after an illness of two weeks. Deceased was born in German 78 years ago and came to this county in 1852, settling in Juneau county. In 1857 he moved to Brownsville, where he has since resided. For many years he conducted a freight traffic business between La Crosse adn Brownville, and it was in the pursuit of business that he acquired the title of "Ice King." For 47 consecutive years, covering the entire period of his residence in Brownsville, he each winter laid out the ice road between Brownsville and La Crosse and drove the first team over it. His judgement in matters pertaining to the ice seemed to be unerring and his roads over the father of waters could always be traveled with every assurance of safety. During the half century that he spent on and around the father of waters the older Holzhammer saved the lives of many people and more than once his humanitarian work has been recognized by the national humane society. Deceased is survived by two sons, Jacob and George of La Crosse, and four daughters, Mrs. John Guenther, Mrs. John Coyle and Mrs. Joseph Real of Minneapolis, and Mrs. Geo. Volz of this city. Funeral services will be held tomorrow morning at the cathedral and the remains will be taken to Brownsville on the noon train for interment in the Catholic cemetery there. | Holzhammer, George (I1202)

Later, they moved to Iowa, and in the trip up the Mississippi in 1857, bound for St. Paul, Mr. Volz was so delighted by the location and the beauty of La Crosse that he landed here instead of continuing to St. Paul. That was May 7, 1857. Since that time La Cross has been their house. Twelve children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Volz, six of them dying in infancy, and one, William, dying twelve years ago at the age of twenty years. The eldest, Rev. Joseph F. Volz of Marshfield, was born on the homestead in Indiana, the rest being natives of La Crosse. The children are: George S and B. H. Volz of La Crosse, Mrs. Mary Guter of Minneapolis.

Great Falls, Mont, March 3--The Great Falls Tribune says: A telegram from Vancouver yesterday afternoon announcing the death in that city of John Jardine, one of the proprietors of the Bee Hive store on Central avenue, and a resident of Great Falls for the past 17 years. While the message gave no particulars of his death it is certain he passed away from an attack of Bright's disease. The news of Mr. Jardine's death came as a great shock to his friends and family in this city, who had no knowledge that his condition was so serious. He left here for the coast a week ago last Monday, hoping the change would benefit his health, which had been poor for some time. A letter received a day or two ago contained the information that he was feeling better, and expected to be home next week. This was the last word received before the announcement of his death. The officers of Euclid Lodge No. 58, A.F.&A.M., immediately telegraphed to Vancouver lodge to take charge of the remains and have them shipped to Great Falls as soon as possible. Mr. Jardine was one of the best known and most highly respected merchants of Great Falls, always having been an influence for good since he entered the community to make his home. He was born in Blenheim, Ontario, Aug. 31, 1865, and was at the time of his death, 42 years of age. At the age of 12 years he went with his parents to Winnipeg, where he received his education, graduating from Manitoba college in 1882. In 1888 he entered the mercantile business for himself and in the same year married Miss Annie Stewart of Winnipeg. The following year he decided to go west, and first located at Lethbridge. In 1891, he came to Great Falls, at first entering the employ of William Albrecht, the furniture man. In 1894, he founded the Bee Hive store. At the time of his death he was in partnership in the same business with George Conrad. The original location of the store was in the building on Central avenue, at present occupied by W. H. George, the undertaker. Mr. Jardine is survived by his wife and four children. Three of the children are sons ranging in age from 18 to 7 years, while a daughter is 12 years of age. Bedsides the Masonic order he was a member of Woodmen of the World. A few months ago Mr. Jardine built a home at the corner of Second avenue north and Ninth street, which has been occupied by the family for a short time only. Mr. Jardine was a Lethbridge old timer.

| 4649 | from "The Lockport Daily Journal", 10 July 1885 (fultonhistory.com) LA BARR Almira La Barr, whose maiden name was Palmer, was born in Saratoga county, N.Y., September 11, 1808, and died July 7, 1885, at 10:05 A.M. The subject of this memoir was the wife of John W. La Barr, one of the oldest and most respected citizens of Niagara county, to whom she was united in marriage in 1832, and with whom she loved pleasantly for nearly 54 years, when suddenly and without a moment's warning the drum of life beat a halt. She met with an accident by falling, on the 6th day of July, and suffered the most excruciating agony for nearly half an hour subsequent to her injury and then sunk into an unconscious state and continued in that condition until the following day, when her weary spirit took its flight to be with Him whom she adored. Sister LaBarr was a firm believer in the religion of out Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, which she embraced in 1842 at which time she united with the Methodist Episcopal Church and continued a member of that denomination until 1854 when she and her husband united with the Wesleyan Methodist Church of Chestnut Ridge, Niagara county, N.Y., of which church she was a worthy member at the time of her decease. The funeral services were held at the residence of John W. LaBarr, and the writer improved the occasion from (Prov. xiv-32) "But the righteous hath hope in his death." She was the mother of ten children. She leaves a husband and six children - 4 daughters and 2 sons - and eight grandchildren to mourn their loss. The church has lost another, society a good and respected citizen and the home a faithful, devoted and loving mother and wife. Her mortal remains were interred in the Chestnut Ridge cemetery waiting the morning of the resurrection when those who sleep in Jesus will come forth to the resurrection of life - for which event the children of the deceased are kindly and earnestly admonished to prepare themselves.
