Florence lived next door when she was young before World War 1:</div> <div>    I was thinking about Lakeville the other day and what I remember. I was very young then. You went upstairs on a closed stairway. I slept up there. As I remember there were 2 rooms and the beds had feather mattresses. There was a big room downstairs with a big dining table and chairs. There was a chimney stove and I think a rocker. At one side under the upstairs stairway there was an old china cupboard. There was a door there that led to a never used sitting room with a love seat, carved table, and a round painted beautiful lamp. Then a bedroom with a poster bed and big high bureau. I used to peek in from an outside frosted glass door with a deer on it. I used to be awed by it all. I guess Grandma sold all this stuff when she moved with Lorrie to Minneapolis. The kitchen was tiny with a trap door and a big wood range. The sink had a pump and shelving and was at the end. I can still see Grandma with her corset getting ready for church. You had to pull the strings so tight for her. I don't see how she breathed. There was a little shed near the house and long plank boards going to the barn. The toilet was to the right from there equipped with the latest Sears Catalogue for wiping. There was a drugstore in back which had some rickidy stairs which we used to play on. Sometimes at the drugstore we got a root beer float which cost 5 cents. World War I was on then and I used to go to the store with Grandma and she bought maryane cookies. There was a creek and a bridge on our way to church. Those were the "good?" old days. So much for memory. Must close now. Keep well!!</div> <div>                                       Love, Florence</div> <bR> <div>    All Saints Parish in Lakeville was formed in 1876 and this is where all of the baptisms for Catherine's children, except for Mary Ann, were recorded. The first church was built in 1877. For many years Catherine prepared the Holy Communion for the church. She also had the job of cleaning the church. Joseph Sauber was an alter boy in this church until he was 18. Jospeh also had the job of keeping the fires going. Helen Perry can remember Catherine scrubbing the boardwalk to the early church on her hands and knees.</div> <bR> <div> Catherine had  <B>John E</B> <B>WAGNER</B>.</div> <bR> <div> <B>1254651-John E WAGNER</B> was born in December 1874 in Cascade, Dubuque County, Iowa, was christened on 27 December 1874 in Cascade, Dubuque County, Iowa, and died on 31 March 1906 in Richland Township, Jones County, Iowa, at age 31.  </div> <bR> <div> General Notes: St. Donatus Catholic Church, St. Donatus, Jackson County, Iowa</div> <div> No. 41  Joannes Wagener</div> <div> A.D. 1874 the 27th of December baptized Joannem the natural child of Catharina Wagener and father unknown.  Witnesses  Joannes Gehlen and Joanna Wagener</div> <bR> <div> Cascade Pioneer</div> <div> Cascade, Dubuque County, Iowa</div> <div> April 5, 1906</div> <div> DROPPED DEAD IN WAGON</div> <div> J.E.

That morning he had his breakfast between 6 and 7 o'clock, with two companions, Felix Felton and Nick Seil, wood choppers, who boarded with him, and appeared to be in good health. After breakfast he hitched up a team and went to work hauling wood from the timber nearby. Felton and Seil did not see him after he left the premises after breakfast for they themselves went to work, but as late as 11 o'clock, they thought they heard him in the woods. When found Wagner's body had collapsed on top of the load of wood after he had thrown a few sticks from the wagon. He had fallen forward on his face. Dr. May testified that death was due to acute failure of the heart, and death took place before the body fell, as the tongue was cut but did not bleed.   The coroner of Jones County was informed of his death, and deputized Justice Geo. D. Sailor, who summoned the following jury: T.W. Sheridan, T.W.
