  JOSEPH EMMER SR., one of our pioneer settlers passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. August Sternhagen at Appleton, Tuesday morning. He is survived by one sister, Mrs. Blenker of Blenker, Wis., three daughters, Mrs. August Sternhagen of Appleton, Mrs. Edward Funk and Mrs. Mike Thiel of Appleton, and six sons, Joseph of High Cliff; John of Bryant, Wis.; Frank of Kansas City, Mo; Fred of St. John; Anton and Edward of Sherwood. The history of this pioneer settler is the history of Calumet County. He was born in Baden, Germany, Dec. 10, 1850, and when 18 months old came to America with his parents, who settled in Washington county, at St. Lawrence, from there they came to St. John. They hewed down the trees in the dense forest on what is now the Bernard Schwanbenlander place. From there they came to the place known as the Emmer homestead, where they again erected a log cabin in the wilderness. There were only three white settlers in this locality at that time; Peter Stusher of Sherwood, Mansfield of Harrison and George Bauer of Woodville. The roads were only rough Indian trails. Jos. Emmer often walked to Fond du Lac and to Green Bay to bring home the flour for the family, carrying it on his back. They went through many hardships. The Emmers were known far and wide for their generosity towards their neighbors, lending then a helping hand when in need and their latchstring always hung out. Their home was a place where friends and neighbors gathered for a jolly good time. The high esteem in which the deceased was held was shown by the beautiful floral offerings and the great number of friends and relatives who gathered to pay a last tribute to the departed. Nearly all of his 27 grandchildren attended the funeral. Funeral services were held at Sacred Heart church, the Rev. A. Jaeckle conducted the services with Solemn Requiem Mass, interment at Sacred Heart cemetery. Six sons of the deceased acted as pallbearers. Chilton Times – December 1, 1928
