Biography:
JOHN J. SHERMAN, cashier of the Citizens' National Bank, of Appleton, Wisconsin, a position of trust and responsibility which he has continuously held for nearly eighteen years, is also identified with other important business interests, and is one of the men of this city who may be truly termed representative. He is a native of Wisconsin, born in Addison township, Washington county, August 28, 1853, and nearly all of his life has been passed in this state. His parents were Jacob and Margaret (Sell) Sherman, the former a native of France and the latter of Germany. Men of the type of John J. Sherman have no need to recall illustrious ancestors to add prominence to themselves, but it is interesting to know that Grandfather Andrew Sherman served on the staff of the great Bonaparte from 1811 to 1815, and participated in those battles that made world history -- Leipsic, Dresden, Hanau, Bautzen, Lutzen and Waterloo. This veteran came to Wisconsin in 1855, where he lived a peaceful life for many years, his death occurring in 1880, when he was over ninety years of age. Jacob Sherman, son of Andrew, was born in 1819, and came to the United States when eighteen years of age. In 1845 he married Margaret Sell, who had accompanied a brother from Germany and reached America in 1839. She died October 4, 1855, the mother of six children, one of the three survivors being John J. Sherman, of Appleton. From the age of fifteen years John J. Sherman has been the arbiter of his own fortunes. He had three years of excellent school training in St. Gall's Academy, Milwaukee, but with this exception, provided for his further education and necessities himself, for some years teaching school in the winter seasons and attending school during a part of the summers. He thus advanced both financially and mentally, giving himself advantages in the Normal School at Whitewater and the State University, and for ten years engaging in educational work at Milwaukee. In 1879 he went to Wausau, where for seven years he was engaged in a mercantile business, and while there became active in politics and was elected city clerk on the Democratic ticket, was also census enumerator and was. otherwise prominent. In 1890 he assisted in the organization of the German-American Savings Bank of that city, which became a national bank in the following year. On April 4, 1893, he was elected county judge of Marathon county, and continued his judicial duties until he was called to Appleton, January 15, 1894, to accept his present position. Mr. Sherman was one of the organizers of the Wisconsin State Bankers' Association, in which he has always taken an active interest and of which he was vice-president in 1906 and president in 1907. In 1909, he was elected a member of the executive council of the American Bankers' Association. and has since continuously served in that capacity. Mr. Sherman was married (first) February 18, 1879, to Miss Mary E. Dengel, a native of Hartford, Wisconsin, who died December 20, 1886, the mother of two children: Adam Edward and Margaret. Margaret died in infancy. On May 1, 1888, Mr. Sherman was married a second time, to Miss Helen Kamps, a daughter of Gerhard and Katherina (Jansen) Kamps. Mr. and Mrs. Sherman have had six children: Margaret, Henry, Marie, Isabell, Helen and Agnes, all living excepting Henry, who died in infancy. They are members of the Roman Catholic Church, and Mr. Sherman is identified with the Roman Catholic Central Society, the Catholic Knights of Wisconsin, Knights of Columbus, Catholic Order of Foresters and the Catholic Family Protective Association of Wisconsin.
The Citizens National Bank of Appleton, Wisconsin, was organized on the 15th day of January, 1894. Although its authorized capital stock was $150,000, its first statement to the Comptroller of Currency showed assets of $75,000, while according to the bank statement at the close of business on the 7th day of March, 1911, showed a total of assets and resources of $1,298,021.33. Proportionately with the increase thus noted has the business of the various departments of the institution been augmented, and not a year since its opening, seventeen years ago, has this thriving financial institution experienced anything but a healthy progress. The original number of stockholders of this bank was 90; now it has been increased to 105, all residents of Appleton and Outagamie county, excepting a few who acquired stock by inheritance. Among the men who were numbered with the directors of the bank at the time of its opening and who are still connected with this institution in a similar capacity are: Lamar Olmstead, Joseph Rossmeissl, John Berg, G. T. Moeskes and John J. Sherman, and since its beginning the vice-president has been Joseph Rossmeissl, and the cashier John J. Sherman. From an office force of three men the activities of the bank have so increased that the services of eight people are now required to dispense the volume of business. The first president of the bank was John S. Van Northwick, who resigned as such officer on the 29th day of December, 1896, on which day Lamar Olmstead was elected as his successor, who has served continuously until the present. On August 1, 1907, the bank purchased the building it now occupies, together with an adjoining one. It was the first bank in the State of Wisconsin to put into use an absolutely fire and burglar-proof vault, the construction of which, being of solid steel throughout, was the heaviest made at that time by any safe company, and required the greater part of six months to complete the same. Inside this impregnable casing are located two combined screw-door safes used for the secure keeping of money and valuables. This institution was also the first of its kind in the city to introduce the home savings banks which have become so popular and are used by many families in this city.

Obituary:
Peter T. McKenzie, 51, died of a heart attack on March 2, 2016 at his home at Oneida Heights in Appleton, Wisconsin.
Peter was born on June 18, 1964. He was the fourth of Thomas and Mary "Rusty" McKenzie's five children. A strong, bright and happy child, Peter loved the outdoors and activities like skiing and hunting. When he was 13 mental illness set in, and it became a challenge that would define the rest of his life. In recent years, with advances in medicine and his practice of yoga, he became well enough to avoid psychiatric hospitalization.
Whenever he could, he turned his own trials into ways to help others. He says it the best in his It's Your Call piece that ran in this paper in July 2013; "I believe that God believed in me enough to challenge me to be a better, stronger person than I would have been without these challenges. Now I can be of use to others who have disabilities." Peter became known by family, friends and those he met across Appleton as a generous and gentle giant. He'd share jokes and advise on how to relieve stress, and if someone needed it he would hand them a small pamphlet listing the social services available in Outagamie County with phone numbers.
He tried to be charitable and kind to everyone he met regardless of their background or circumstances. Again, a letter of his that ran in the Post Crescent reads, "the cheapest green, reusable, renewable medicine is a kind word and a smile … Humor works, too. It works heath care wonders." Peter will be remembered for lifting the spirits of those around him, even when his own days were difficult.
Peter is survived by his parents Thomas and Rusty McKenzie and siblings Jane McKenzie, Katie (Guglielmo Sala) McKenzie and Thomas (Jill Newman) McKenzie. He is preceded in death by his sister Molly McKenzie. He is also survived by his ex-wife Tracie Anania and her son Steven (Bonnie) Proszenyak.
The funeral liturgy for Peter will be held on Saturday, March 12, 2016 at 11:00 AM at ST. JOSEPH CATHOLIC CHURCH, 410 W. Lawrence St., with Fr. Jim Leary O.F.M. Cap officiating. A time of visitation will be held from 9:00 AM until the time of the service at the church. Interment will be in the St. Joseph Cemetery. Memorials may be made in Peter's name to the charity of your choice . To submit online condolences and find more information visit: www.wichmannfargo.com.
The family would like to express heartfelt thanks to Drs. Thomas Tatlock, Randy Kerswill and Charles McKee and all of the other health care providers, mental health specialists and social workers who provided compassionate and high quality care for Peter. And special thanks to Sister Anne, Jim Stack, Tim Spalding and others for being close and supportive friends.
