TREENLAUR Baptisms

Note: When you find that a birth date is after a baptismal date: The explanation I was given by the Heritage Center in Mayo is that most likely the baptismal date is the truer date. The reason being that there were stiff fines for not registering on time.

A special thanks to Merril Bourne for sending this info to be posted.

Catherine (KELLEY) SOLON of Shields, Wisconsin
Death of Mrs. Solon - Another Pioneer Settler of Shields Called to Her Reward
  Last Thursday evening Aug. 24 (1906), the sad announcement of the death of Mrs. Martin Solon,
of the town of Shields, was telephoned to her relatives and friends of this city. While it was
known that she was suffering from a painful injury received by a fall Aug. 14th, no one here
thought that she was in danger of death, and the news, therefore, was both startling and distressing.
  On Aug. 14th, while visiting her sisters at Richwood, Mrs. Solon, in passing out through the
back door slipped upon the step and was very seriously, and as it now appears, fatally injured.
Help was summoned and she was carried in and placed upon the bed. Dr. Shinnick of Watertown was
telephoned for and promptly responded. He reported severe injuries on the hip and side but found
no bones broken. For several days her pain was so intense that no one could touch her. At the end
of a week, there were some indications of improvement and she was beginning to plan her removal
to her home, four miles north of Richwood. Her daughter, Mary who was summoned as soon as her
mother was hurt, and was constantly with her, as was also her sisters, and at times, other members
of her family. At times, she was subject to fainting spells, supposed to be brought on from the
effect of the pain she constantly suffered. The application of a face bath promptly revived her
from the fainting spells, which were not considered dangerous.
  About 11 o'clock Thursday, Aug. 24th and just about 10 days after she was injured, she sank into
a fainting spell, from which her daughter was unable to revive her and without a word, without a
groan, without a struggle, she passed away into that land were(where)pains and sorrows are unknown.
  Her remains were taken to her home Thursday evening and her funeral was held from St. Joseph's
church in Richwood, Sunday, Aug. 27th, at 10 o'clock A.M.  She was buried in the family lot in
St. Bernard's cemetery, Watertown beside the grave of her good husband who passed from earth
almost six years ago.
  Deceased whose maiden name was Catherine Kelley was born in County Galway, Leland, about the
year 1835 and came to this country with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Martin Kelley in 1847, the family
settling in Oneida Co. New York. In 1853 they came to Wisconsin and located in Shields. Two years
later, the subject of this sketch became the wife of Martin Solon and they began farming on 80
acres of land in the northern part of that town. By industry and good management the farm was
enlarged until it reached 510 acres. Mr. Solon whose name was a synonym for honesty, kindness and
charity was called to his final home October 21, 1899.
  This happy union was blessed with a family of eight children five sons and three daughters, all
of whom were present at the funeral of their mother last Sunday. They are Martin Solon of
Claremont, Minn., John T. Solon of Watertown, Patrick and James who reside upon the family
homestead; Peter Solon, who owns and resides on what is known as the David Barry farm in Shields,
the Misses Mary and Kate Solon, also at home and Winifred (Mrs. Abe McCarty) of Claremont, Minn.
Deceased is also survived by two brothers and five sisters, the latter being the Misses Bridget,
Sibbie and Annie Kelley of Richwood, at whose fome the fatal accident and her death ocurred;
Mrs. Mary Joyce and Mrs. Nell King, of Chicago. The two brothers are Peter Kelley of Watertown and
John Kelley, editor of this paper.
  To write an obituary of a beloved sister, the oldest of the family, who, to the younger children
has been a mother as well as a sister, is indeed a sorrowful task. Called away unexpectedly and on
the same day that the writer and his wife were celebrating their silver wedding, and who in her
suffering the evening before her death, had sent her congratulations, makes the duty a painful one.
But her mindfulness and solicitude for the welfare and happiness of others was a trait of character
so that others as well as her relatives can well bear testimony to it. She possessed to a marked
degree the virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity, and exemplified these attributes in a practical way
in her every-day life. She was a pious and prayerful woman and in her simple but effective way
instilled in the minds and hearts of her children the true spirit of Christianity. Her best efforts
were consecrated to the service of her Creator and next came of the interests of her family. As we
think back over her life and call to mind her many kind acts and words of earnest advice and
counsel; as we maturely pass judgment upon her motives, we are more than satisfied that she ever
strove to obey the scriptural injunction: "Thou must love thy Lord, thy God, with thy whole soul;
with all thy strength and with all thy mind, and thy neighbor as thyself."
  She was naturally "solicitous about many things" along the line of her earthly duties, but she
did not forget to "choose the better part" which One in whose word she placed full faith promised,
"Shall not be taken from her." (Submitted by Pat Solon Rogers)

Mary SOLON of Shields, Wisconsin
Miss Mary Solon, Native of Town of Shields Dies

Mrs. Abe McCarthy, 311 South Montgomery Street where she made her home. Her death took place at

Watertown residing in the town of Shields prior to coming to this city.

were part of the treatment. She died September 29, 1928. (Submitted by Pat Solon Rogers)

Peter A. SOLON of Shields, Wisconsin
Death of Peter A. Solon
Well Known Resident of the Town of Shields Passed Away Monday. Funeral Held Thursday
  Last Monday forenoon the sad and wholly unexpected announcement of the death of Peter A. Solon,
of the town of Shields was telephoned from Watertown to the Juneau relatives. Mr. Solon's death 
ocurred at his home on his farm xis miles southwest of Richwood, at 9 o'clock that morning.
  It was known to his relatives and neighbors that he was in poor health since last fall, but the
advent of death so soon was wholly unexpected.
  Peter A. Solon was born in the town of Shileds, May 8, 1869, and was the youngest son of the late 
Mr. and Mrs. Martin Solon, pioneer settlers of that town. He was educated in the public schools and 
has always given his time and attention to agricultural pursuits. He gave much attention to
dairying and stock raising and met with good success in his investments.
  Personally, Pete Solon was liked by all who knew him. He was candid, outspoken, straightforward
and strictly honest in all his dealings with his fellow men.
  Since his boyhood, he enjoyed the respect and confidence of his neighbors and during the past few
years was called upon to fill several local offices. At the time of his death, he was school clerk
of District No. 2 of the town of Shields and was chairman of the town, to which last named office
he was elected in April 1911.
  Her served as a member of the County Board of Supervisors at the special May session in 1911 and
attended the annual session here last November, from which he was forced to withdraw before the
final adjournment. On his way home he was obliged to remain at the home of his brother in Watertown
about one week on account of sickness. This was really the beginning of the illness that resulted
fatally last Monday, February 25. The cause of death was lung trouble resulting from a severe cold
contracted two years ago.
  On February 18, 1903, the subject of this sketch was married to Miss Johanna Barry, daughter of
Mrs. David Barry, of the town of Shields. The marriage was solemnized in St. Joseph's Church in
Richwood by Rev. Peter J. Franciscus.
  Mr. and Mrs. Solon at once located on the David Barry farm which Mr. Solon had purchased, and
have made their home their since.
  Her is survived by his loving and devoted wife and three small children, two boys and a girl. He
is also survived by three brothers, Martin Solon of Claremont, Minnesota, and John T. and Patrick
H. Solon of Watertown, and by two sisters, Miss Mary Solon of Watertown and Mrs. Abraham McCarthy
of Claremont, Minn.
  Deceased was a first cousin of former County Clerk, John Solon of this city and was a nephew of
Co. Supt. John Kelley.
  The funeral services were held at St. Joseph's Church in Richwood at 10 a.m. yesterday morning,
with interment in St. Bernard's cemetery in Watertown.
