Obituary:
John Verkuilen of Thorp (Clark Co., Wis.), died at the Chippewa Falls Hospital last Friday of heart trouble and other complications. He had been confined to his home for the past six weeks, suffering from a foot infection. He was at the hospital only a day.
Mr. Verkuilen was a widely known and prominent citizen of the county. He was vice chairman of the Clark County Board of Supervisors and was a member of the Thorp School Board at the time of his death.
Born at Pensaukee, Oconto Co., Wis., Sept. 3, 1867, he began work in the shipyards at Sheboygan after he had completed his schooling. On June 12, 1893, he was married to Hattie Driessen, and in 1894, with his wife and their first child, he came to Clark County with a horse and wagon as farm equipment.
The family settled on a tract of land in the town of Worden, west of Thorp, moving to another farm in 1901. In 1896 Mr. Verkuilen became a member of the Worden town board, serving three years in that capacity. He was later elected assessor, holding that office for six years, and in 1909 was elected as town chairman, becoming chairman of the County Board of Supervisors two years later and holding that office for many years. He also acted as clerk and as treasurer of his school district in the town of Worden.
Funeral services were held at St. Bernard's Catholic Church at Thorp Tuesday, which was largely attended by citizens from all parts of the county. He is survived by his wife and seven children.

Verkuilen, John #2 (3 SEP 1867 - 24 JAN 1936)
A well known and respected resident of Thorp and Clark County, Wis., closed his history making career of family and social service as death called him to his reward on Friday, Jan. 24, 1936, soon after his re-entrance to St. Joseph's Hospital, Chippewa Falls, and the reception of the last sacraments of the church. For a few weeks before his death he had suffered with a foot infection and a weak heart but his jovial spirit made him appear quite well.
John Verkuilen was born at Pensaukee, Oconto Co., Wis., Sept. 3, 1867, the son of John and Mary (Van Lanen) Verkuilen, and being called to his reward at the age of 68 years, 4 months and 21 days.
After a brief formal education he began work in the shipyards of Sheboygan.
He was married to Hattie Driesen of Hollandtown on June 12, 1893, and with her and their daughter Mayme, came to the town of Worden, Clark Co., in 1894 to engage in agriculture. They lived in a logging camp near Stanley until Mr. Verkuilen and Fred Driesen, who came here each with one horse, could clear a plot of ground for buildings on their then unimproved farms. One of the items of present day interest in their progressive, yet tractorless farming, was the use of oxen. With much labor, fortitude, prudence and economy, fine farms were developed but Mr. Verkuilen sold in 1901 in order to purchase the SE ¼ - SE ¼ of Section 2, near Thorp, from C. Banderob. With Mrs. Verkuilen and four children they moved into the log house which was later replaced by a modern structure necessitate by convenience and a family of nine. All other farm improvements and conveniences were added during the 25 years that John and Hattie Verkuilen, with their family, lived there. Upon their retirement in 1927, they built a home in Thorp and the farm home has since been that of their son, Walter and family.
Prominent as Mr. Verkuilen was in civic affairs his positions of responsibility and trust can scarcely be enumerated. Any eulogy to him would conclude with "having always served well" and often without remuneration. His pride and pleasure was in having served without bond. He was a member of the town of Worden board in 1896, also elected as assessor and Pioneer school board member. He succeeded Geo. A. Ure as chairman of the Clark County board in 1911, and was re-elected for several terms. While serving as Member of assembly from Clark County he acted on the Wis. Dells Park Committee. Again in later years and until his death he represented the village of Thorp on the county board where he had for years by independent thought, good humor and sense, made very close friends.
When Mr. Verkuilen and family moved near Thorp they transferred their church membership tot hat of St. Bernard's Parish. Here he acted as treasurer during the construction period, about 1914, of the present beautiful edifice. He also transferred his Catholic Order of Foresters membership from Stanley to become a charter member of the local St. Vincent Court No. 1339. He was an active and enthusiastic member until his death and on several occasions was privileged to represent them at state and national conventions.
Mr. Verkuilen was a director of the Farmers Exchange Bank from the date of organization in 1913 and later became president, guiding it successfully until the merger of the two Thorp banks.
The last few years he has spent his time acting as director of the Lyn Mutual Insurance Companies, a position he has long held, and as president of the Thorp Finance Corporation.
Mr. Verkuilen's honesty and judgment were unquestioned and his standing in this community unparalleled. He was a man of generous impulses and never forgot the social, religious or hospitable ways of a pioneer. He accepted adversity bravely and enjoyed prosperity quietly. He had filled the various relations of life as son, husband, father, grandfather, brother, friend, and filled them well. Who can do more?
Left to mourn his death are his wife, Hattie Verkuilen, five daughters, Susan (Mrs. Henry Hermsen), Little Chute, Wis., Florence (Mrs. John Cesnik), Hillsboro, Wis., Josephine (Mrs. Jack Vandeyacht), Little Chute, Wis., Elsie, Milwaukee, and Leona, at home; two sons, Michael of Gary, Ind., and Walter of the town of Worden. Two children, Mayme and John Jr., preceded him in death. He is also survived by five sisters and one brother.
The body of John Verkuilen lay instate at the new Bogumill Funeral Home surrounded by flowers and friends until Tuesday morning when the procession, led by Foresters under traffic control, proceeded to the crowded St. Bernard's Church for the Solemn High Mass of Requiem which was said by Rev. C. Dionne with Rev. F.A. Kulig as deacon and Rev. A.M. Muckerheide as sub-deacon, the latter officiating at the last rites and burial in St. Bernard's Catholic Cemetery.
The active pallbearers who are Foresters, were: Francis Conway, R. J. Brunner, George Haas, Anton Baldeschwiler, John Bauernfeind an Dr. A.H. Kulig.
Those who acted as honorary pallbearers were: A.M. Steinwand of Colby; Frank Kraut of Curtiss; W.B. Tufts of Neillsville; Ed Verritt, Anton Micke and R.G. Lawrence of Thorp.

Hello Jay,
I apologize for the lengthy delay in responding to your request. I'm not sure your Martin Verkuilen and my Martin Verkuilen are the same person. Below is what I have for the Martin Verkuilen in my tree.

Martin's wife, Mary Hoks, was the sister to my husband's great-grandfather, Daniel Hoks.
Let me know if our Martin Verkuilens are one in the same. I do not have a John Verkuilen in my tree. How was he connected to your Martin?
Hope this information is helpful.
Have a great day!

Obituary:
Frank Verkuilen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Verkuilen of Athens, Wis., died at the Stanley Hospital last Monday morning at four o'clock of severe burns and other injuries suffered early Friday morning, Jan. 1st, while escaping from the burning building of John Schultz, his uncle, whom he has been assisting in his store for several months past. Mr. Schultz, who condition is not considered serious, is under a local doctor's care at the Becker Hotel.
John Retired about eleven o'clock that evening, after attending to his furnace fire, and Frank about three, he having waited at the bus depot across the street and expecting his cousin from Milwaukee.
Both men were asleep in their bedrooms on the second floor and in the northeast part of the building. When the heat of the flames awoke them, Frank evidently delayed several minutes to pack a hand bag and then rushed through the flames down the stairway. He attempted to escape by the rear down downstairs but was cut off by flames and was forced to fight his way through them again to the front door of the building, where he broke through the glass and staggered into the Riteway Restaurant across the street.
John Schultz was driven back by the flames coming through the stairway, attempted to get to the kitchen by a trap door but smoke compelled him to try to escape by way of a front window. He could not make it and in desperation found a back window, broke it and jumped to the ground.
The store building, located on the corner of Washington and Stanley Streets, was a 30 x 60 structure. After a fire which partly destroyed it about seven years ago, the building was remodeled and tile veneered. The loss incurred is estimated at $16,000, only partly covered by insurance. The origin of the fire is unknown.
