DOROTHEA ???????????????????? Source: HUMBIRD ENTERPRISE (Humbird, Clark County, Wis.) 03/27/1909 Emer, Mrs. Joseph (AUG 1840 - 23 MAR 1909)
Death called another pioneer settler of this vicinity (Humbird, Clark County, Wis.) last Tuesday morning, when Mrs. Joseph Emer of Fairview passed away after being in failing health for nearly a year. Mrs. Emer had not been considered ill but a day or two before her death, and not over a week ago had visited at her son's home in the village. The funeral services were held at St. Joseph's Catholic Church, Fairview, on Thursday morning, conducted by the pastor. The esteem by which the deceased was held in the community where she had long been a resident was testified by the large congregation which gathered to pay its last tribute to a devoted member of the church.
Mrs. Emer was a native of Germany, born in August 1840. At the age of seven years she came with her parents to America. In 1860 she was united in marriage with Joseph Emer and together they suffered the hardships of pioneer life, settling on the farm at Fairview which has ever since been their home. From a valueless wild to one of the best farms in this section, the place was developed by them until her husband was taken from her nineteen years ago, when the sons took up the work, erected a fine house on the farm and kept the mother in comfort during her declining years.
Thirteen children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Emer, three of whom died in infancy and one son, Joseph, died a year ago. Five daughters and four sons survive. Three of the children have entered the service of the church, of which the deceased has been a faithful and consistent member, two daughters in a convent at La Crosse and one son in the priesthood. Of the sons, Michael is residing on the home farm, Frank on a farm in Fairview, John in business in this village and Rev. Peter Emer is pastor of the Catholic Church at Marshfield.

From the fullness of life to the coldness of death. Thus passed the aged father of J. S. and Peter Harris of the town of Cleveland, and Mrs. John Schmid of this village (Humbird, Clark County, Wis.), at about five o'clock on Wednesday morning. He had retired, feeling as well as usual, and was taken during the night with a choking spell, from which he rallied, only to be attacked by another later, to which he succumbed. Mr. Harris had enjoyed exceptionally good health for one of 89 years, and a week before his death walked from his son's farm into town.
John Harris was the last of the original settlers of the eastern part of the town of Garden Valley, now Cleveland. He brought his family into the wilderness when Sparta was the nearest railroad town and the only roads were Indian trails through the woods. That was the last year of the war, 1864. Mr. Harris was a native of Germany and was born March 17th, 1822.

PETER BEVER, a farmer of section 7, township 24, range 4 west, Clark County, was born in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, March 5, 1855, the eldest of four sons of Peter Bever, Sr., in whose family there were no daughters. His father was born near Kell, Prussia, on the famous banks of the Rhine, and emigrated on a sailing vessel when a young man, requiring six months time, and immediately located at Milwaukee. A sister of his came afterward and settled in Walworth County, this State, after her marriage, bringing a large family of children who have grown up and settled in different States. The remainder of the grandparents children continued their residence in the old country. Peter Bever, Sr., died January 18, 1866. The brothers of the subject of this sketch were: John, born October 2, 1856, at Milwaukee Andrew, February 16, 1859, in Clark County and Nicholas, December 6, 1861, also in Clark County, and died October 20, 1873, in this county, at the age of about twelve years. Andrew, a man of a family, lives near by John near Otter Creek, in Clark County. He married Annie Weinstock, November 25, 1889.
Mr. Bever, whose name heads this sketch, married Dena Bergman, November 22, 1877. She is a daughter of Adolph Bergman, who had four daughters and four sons, namely: George, Adolph, Anton, Lena, Frank, Mary, Elizabeth and Theresa, all of whom are now living excepting Mary. Of this large family, one, Adolph, is a Catholic priest in Syracuse, New York George, the eldest, is a well-known architect in St. Paul, with a large and prosperous business and the other two are contractors and builders in the same city. The two living sisters are married and settled in the town of Mentor, Clark County. The parents came to this country from Westphalia about 1882, and the father's death occurred November 9, 1889, at the age of seventy-five years, and the mother is still living in the township above mentioned, at the age of seventy years. Mr. Bever has had five children, as follows: Elizabeth, born December 11, 1878 Theresa, December 2, 1880 Mary, December 18, 1882 Emma, January 9, 1885 and Peter G., December 27, 1889.
Mr. Bever came to the township where he now lives when it was entirely new, there being only seven families therein at the time. For breadstuff he had to take his grist to a mill at Sparta, the trip consuming four days. The many Indians here at the time were the source of great fear and anxiety, although they made no serious outbreaks. Mr. Bever is now busily engaged in farming and establishing a permanent home on a fractional eighty-acre tract of land, his house being on a commanding site, and in a few years he will have made it and its surroundings all that an independent farmer can desire.
