Asa A. Hollister, one of the early settlers of Winnebago Co., died at Shawano, Wisconsin, June 11, 1890. Mr. and Mrs. Hollister had gone to Shawano to spend a short time visiting their son William and family and while there he suffered an attach of liver trouble and died. His remains were brought to his home in this city, where funeral services were largely attended on Saturday morning. The sermon was preached by Rev. W. W. Stevens, a former pastor, from the text "We all do fade as a leaf," Isa 61:6. Mr. Hollister was born in Wayne County N.Y., Oct 10, 1817. In 1833 the family came westward and settled in Adrian, Michigan. Seven years later they removed to Racine County, Wis., where Asa was married in 1842 to Sarah M. Toombs. In May, 1845, they came to Oshkosh, then an Indian trading post consisting of three or four log houses, a store and a tavern. Mr. Hollister engaged in winter in the lumber business. In 1866, with his sons, he went into lumbering on a large scale, continuing until 1876, when he retired from active business life. Mr. and Mrs. Hollister united with the Congregational Church of this city in 1857, and remained in that connection until the Algoma Street Methodist Society was organized, when they connected themselves with that church, and have been two of the most useful and higher esteemed members. Mr. Hollister served the society as treasurer for seven years, until failing health compelled him to relinquish official work. He was a quiet, unassuming, straightforward Christian man, and his death was triumphant. He leaves a wife and four sons, an only daughter having died in childhood in 1857. The sons are all engaged in lumbering, Wm W. in Shawano, Seymour W. in Canada, Wright and Guy W. in Marinette, Wisconsin.

OSHKOSH WOMAN IS FOUND DEAD IN GARAGE. Mrs. R. A. Hollister Believed to Have Suffered Fainting Spell After Starting Motor.
Mrs. Emilie Davis Hollister, wife of R. A. Hollister, local attorney, was found dead in the garage at the Hollister residence, 888 Algoma Boulevard, early Sunday forenoon.
William McGraw, chauffeur for the Hollisters, discovered the body lying on the running board of the automobile, when he came to the garage about 8 A. M. to shovel the snow from the driveway and the walks.
Mrs. Hollister had gone to the garage unknown to other members of the family. No members of the household saw her leave the house. When found, she had been dead long enough for rigor mortis to set in.
She had started the motor of the car, and the engine was still running when her body was found. It is believed she may have had a fainting spell, and succumbed in that manner. Members of the family said she had been subject to frequent fainting spells.
Mrs. Hollister was born at Neenah, -Wis., April 25, 1882, the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John B. Davis. Her marriage to Mr. Hollister Sept. 18, 1902, at Neenah, was one of the outstanding social events of that time.

Nov. 28, 1881
DEATH OF M. M. HOLLISTER
M. M. Hollister, mention of whose suffering from an accident has been made, died Saturday evening about seven o'clock. The case seemed a very strange one to many of his friends and the cause of death peculiar, but the physicians say that there are frequent cases of this sort. Last Monday while at the Northwestern depot and while sitting in his feed delivery wagon his horse kicked him violently in the leg below the knee. There was no dashboard to protect him from the animal's heels. The blow from the horse's hoofs broke his leg, and mangled the flesh and cords terribly, producing one of the worst cases of compound fractures. Instead of calling for a hack-and riding home in the earliest possible manner, Mr. Hollister put the whip to his horse and drove over town to his flour store with the leg dangling and the bones grinding and protruding through the flesh, lacerating the flesh still more. By the time the doctors got at it the leg was in terrible bad shape. The bones were set and the wound dressed, but toward the latter part of the week Mr. Hollister had become delerious and got the bones out of place several times. On Saturday noon he had a violent delerium but afterwards became easier, and at five o'clock some of the physicians believed he would get well. Soon after he began sinking rapidly and died at seven o'clock. Four or five physicians had been called during the last days. The immediate cause of death is said to have been what physicians term thrombus. The clots of blood formed in the lacerated veins, they say, were carried into the lungs, heart and other organs, clotting and stopping circulation, producing death.
Mr. Hollister had been a resident of this city since 1846 and was a man who possessed the esteem and confidence of all who knew him as a honest, upright and good citizen. He was elected one of the assessors in 1880 and served with efficiency. He leaves a wife and two grown up children. A married daughter residing in Dakota is on her way here.
The funeral will take place Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Algoma Methodist Church. The funeral will be conducted under the auspices of the Odd Fellows of which order he was a member, and the Odd Fellows are summoned to meet at their hall at 12:30 of that day to attend the funeral in'a body.

R. A. HOLLISTER DIES SUDDENLY WHILE IN EAST Prominent Oshkosh Attorney Succumbs Following Heart Attack Suffered Christmas Eve at Home of Son at South Hamilton, Mass.
While on a holiday visit to his son, John R. Hollister, in South Hamilton, Mass., just outside of Boston, R. A. Hollister, 69, of 888 Algoma Boulevard, died suddenly following a heart attack at the home of the son Sunday evening.
Mr. Hollister, apparently in good health, left Oshkosh Dec, 21. According to information received here he suffered the heart attack Christmas Eve and died soon thereafter.
R. A. Hollister was born Aug. 25, 1875, in Charles City, Ia., the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Seymour Hollister. The Hollister family moved to Oshkosh in 1876 and Mr. Hollister resided in this city continuously since that time.
He received his early education in the schools of this city and prepared for colle@e at the Oshkosh Normal. He was graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1896 with a degree of Bachelor of Arts, and immediately commenced the study of law receiving his degree from the Wisconsin University law school in 1898.
After the completion of his university education, he entered the practice of law and became a member of the firm of Thompson, Hollister & Pinkerton. In 1903 a partnership was formed between himself and Col. H. I. Weed and that association continued.1-uninterrupted since that time.
Seymour W. Hollister, father of R. A. Hollister, was a member of the first board of directors of the Wisconsin National Life Insurance Company, created immediately after its founding in October, 1908. He served in that capacity with considerable distinction and value from its early development until his death.
When the company commenced business in 1908, R. A. Hollister was appointed assistant general counsel and he and Col. Weed have handled all legal matters since. In his early career, Mr;~, Hollister exhibited the ability and talents that were to stamp him as a successful and highly capable attorney. It was only natural, therefore, that following his father's death he was elected to succeed him as a member of the board of directors and he was duly appointed to that office on March 14, 1916.
In addition to his duties as a director, he had for many years served as a member of the finance committee for the board and in that capacity had been a great influence in assisting to build the enviable financial position Wis. National Life occupies today.
Although never seeking public office, Mr. Hollister had been active in Republican political affairs. He was a keen student of history and national and economic subjects. One of his favorite pastimes was reading and through this medium he kept himself well posted on matters of public interest. He was a firm believer in applying practical principles rather than theories to the conduct of affairs.
In 1912 he was appointed corporation counsel for the city of Oshkosh at the time the commission form of government was adopted in this city. He served in that official capacity for five years.
One of the outstanding achievements of his office was the successful conduct of legal procedings on behalf of the city with reference to its waterworks plant, which had been acquired under condemnation proceedings.
Litigation on the part of the owner involved many lawsuits and extended over a period of several years. Under the supervision of Mr. Hollister every one of these suits was successfully defended and the city proclaimed as the legal owner of the property.
In 1915 he was admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of the U.S. and argued several cases before that tribunal. Mr.
Hollister was a member of the American Bar Association, Wisconsin State Bar Association, and a member of the local fraternity of Phi Delta Phi. In addition to serving as a director for the Wisconsin National Life Insurance Company, he was also a member of the board of the First National Bank in Oshkosh.
Surviving besides the son, John R., is another son Seymour W., White Plains, N. Y., a sister, Edith L. Hollister, a brother Carl W. Hollister, both of this city; and three grandchildren, Roger, Burr and Barbara, all of South Hamilton, Mass. His wife preceded him in death.
Arrangement for the funeral here have not been completed due to uncertainties in the facilities available for transporting the body to Oshkosh. When the remains arrive later this week, they will be taken to the Spikes & McDonald funeral home.

WAS EARLY SETTLER. Mrs. Sarah M. Hollister, Who Had Passed Away Saturday, Had Lived in Oshkosh for Sixty-one Years. She Came Here in 1846 and Was Nearly Eighty Years of Age. She Was a Woman of Rare Qualities of Mind and Heart. Funeral Services are Held This Afternoon at Residence on High Street. Sketch of Her Life.
Funeral services for Mrs. Sarah M. Hollister wife of the late Asa A. Hollister, were held this afternoon from her residence, 571 High Street. This morning the remains were viewed by many friends and the members of the family, the body lying in state in the parlor of the home. Surrounding it were floral tributes testifying to the love and esteem in which Mrs. Hollister was held by those who knew her.
As her demise occurred late Saturday afternoon and the funeral was set for today, it was impossible to make any announcement of the services than at the Easter service of Algoma Street Methodist Episcopal Church Sunday. Nevertheless, the house was filled at 2:30 o'clock when the pastor of the church, Rev. Mathew J Trenery, opened the service. He gave a scriptural reading, and spoke briefly from a text which Mrs. Hollister herself had selected. "For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the Heavens."
Three hymns, also the choice of the deceased, not long before the end came, were sung by the church quartet, composed of Mrs. H. N. Hart, Mrs. F. H. Fuller, H.O. Crawford and J. B.. Carpenter. They sang "The Sweet Bye and Bye", the "Home of the Soul" and lastly, "A bide With Me".
Interment of the remains occurred at Riverside Cemetery, in the lot where Asa Hollister is buried. The pallbearers were five grandsons and one grandson-in-law - -Ray A., Carl W., S. Rex, Leigh W. Hollister and William C. Bouck, all of Oshkosh, and Myron W. Hollister of Florence.
During the afternoon the office of Hollister, Amos & Co. was closed on account of the funeral.
In the death of Mrs. Hollister as announced in the Saturday issue of The Northwestern, Oshkosh has lost one of its earliest pioneers. With the exception of the Wright family, Mrs. Hollister had probably come here earlier than an other resident, having arrived in Oshkosh in the spring of 1846, and living here continuously for a period of sixty-one years.
Her death was the result of a decline which started in the winter of 1905-6 when she was bitten on a finger by a pet parrot. The injury caused an attack of blood poisoning, and the shock revealed the first indication of heart trouble Mrs. Hollister ever showed in her long life. Early last summer she suffered the first of several paralytic strokes, complicated with heart trouble, from which she rallied each time. She was out of the house the last time at Christmas. Since then she had been confined to her bed most of the time.
Last Wednesday night another stroke caused paralysis of the left side, and through Thursday and Friday she lingered on the verge of death. At about ten o'clock Friday evening she became unconscious, and remained so until the end came without a struggle at three o'clock Saturday afternoon.
Mrs. Hollister maiden name was Sarah M. Toombs and she was born in England, probably at Birmingham, August 21, 1827, being therefore more than seventy-nine years old at the time of her death. She was one of the five children born to Thomas and Anne Toombs. The family came to this country in 1830 and settled in Oneida County, N.Y. where the gather became naturalized as a citizen of the United States in 1835. Then they removed to Burlington, Wis.
On November 20, 1842, when she was but fifteen years of age, Sarah was married to Asa A. Hollister, a contractor and logger of Burlington. Her husband came to Oshkosh in the summer of 1843 and preempted a piece of land on the site of the old fairgrounds on Jackson Street. He then returned to Burlington, where the first son of the couple, W. W. Hollister, was born. Their second son, Seymour W., was born in August, 1845.
In the following summer they came to Oshkosh and settled on Mr. Hollister's preemption, which he farmed for a short time. Later he conducted the Winnebago Hotel, the second tavern in Oshkosh, which stood on the site of O. McCorison's store on Main Street. He was in that business only a year or two, and then took his wife and children to the site now occupied by the old home on High Street. This was at a time when the way to "town led through a lane to Algoma Street. The bank of the river then was only a few feet from the present house.
Mr. Hollister became a partner with L. P. Sheldon in a sawmill. Soon afterward he withdrew from the partnership, however, and resumed logging operations. He was associated for a time with his brothers, Martin and Joseph. In the winter of 1865-6, he formed a partnership with his sons in lumbering, and in 1874 retired from active business. He died June 11, 1890, while in Shawano on a visit.
There were four sons and one daughter born to the couple. Seymour W., P. Wright, Guy W., William W. and Anna Evelyn. W. W. died ten years ago, and the daughter died in infancy. Of the survivors, Col. S. W. Hollister is proprietor of Hollister, Amos & Co. of this city; P. W.. is associated with the same firm; and G. W. is in Business at Medford.
Eleven grandchildren survive Mrs. Hollister. The R. A. Hollister, Mrs. C. W.. Bouck, C. W., S. Rex and Edith Loomis, sons and daughters of Colonel Hollister; Leigh W., son of P. W. Hollister; Myron W. of Florence, Mrs. William H. Howell and Mrs. Oliver Mason of Tucson Ariz., son and daughters of G.W. Hollister. Another son of Mr. and Mrs. Wright Hollister of Florence.
G. W. Hollister arrived here from Medford in time to attend the funeral. Mrs. Seymour Hollister was also here. called from the bedside of her father, Charles Loomis of Burlington, who is ill with an attack of heart trouble similar to what attacked Mrs.. Sarah Hollister. She will return to Burlington this evening.
The deceased was a charter member of the Algoma Street M. E. church, being one of its supportees in its chapel days. For many years she had been a stewardess in the church, and had always been a member of the Foreign Missionary Society.

REX HOLLISTER IS DEAD. Prominent Young Businessman of This City Succumbs to Attack of Typhoid Fever.
FUNERAL WILL BE HELD SUNDAY. The Passing Away of Mr. Hollister is Especially Sad, Inasmuch As He Was But Twenty-four Years of Age and Had Been Married To An Estimable Lady But A Few Weeks Ago --- Deceased Was Prominent In Yachting Circles.
Seymour Rex Hollister died Friday night at 11:15 o;clock. He had been ill two weeks with typhoid fever, and with the best medical skill and nursing made a hard, but losing fight for his life.
From day to day since it became known in the city that Rex Hollister lay seriously ill with typhoid fever, telephone inquiries had been unceasing as to the progress of the patient in withstanding the attacks of the disease.
Friday the young man had a bad day of it. Three times he was violently ill, and the fever seemed to be at its crisis. All his friends watched closely for each announcement from the bedside, and in the evening the hope was general that the patient would live through the night, and then reach the road to recovery.
But, at eleven o;clock, the last and final attack came, and the members of the family were forced to see the young man pass away. In the crucial moment, the disease overpowered his vitality.
Seymour Rex Hollister was the son of Col. S. W. Hollister of 922 Algoma Street. He was born in Waushara County, on a farm near the city of Berlin, May 27, 1884. He had lived in Oshkosh most of the years of his life.
Attending the public schools of this city until 1901 Rex Hollister prepared to enter the Mohegan Lake School at Mohegan, N.Y. He had no difficulty in passing the required examinations and in the fall of 1901 he went east to school with his brother, C.W.Hollister.
He attended the Mohegan Lake School for two years. In June, 1903, he left school and returning to his home he went immediately into the well known firm of Hollister, Amos & Co. which is headed by his father. Hollister, Amos & Co. is one of the principal factors in the northern lumbering industry, and Rex Hollister went into the work with his father in a spirit characteristic of him. Without reserve the young man went into the yards, and out upon the river rafts; doing rough work as well as taking part in the office management of the company.
It was his determination to learn the business of the great lumbering institution in every phase. Nothing was allowed to escape his observations, from the work of the "swampers" who prepared the forests in autumn for the operation of the great crews of lumberjacks who followed, through the spring drives, and to the final scaling of the boarded lumber, product of the sawmills.
The men who worked for the firm were accustomed to the sight of Rex Hollister clothed in a rough blue suit, with a heavy flannel shirt, and storm shoes, going about the yards in the most disagreeable weather, never hesitating to give a lift here and there, or to help at any disagreeable task about the plant. It was in this manner that he won the respect of the workmen, and at the same time acquired a practical knowledge of his work.
Rex Hollister also was secretary of the Worden Lumber Company, being associated with his father and F. E. Worden in this business. His time was divided between Hollister, Amos & Co. and the Worden Lumber Co
Mr. Hollister was married Saturday, October 10, to Miss Lena Wilkin, daughter of Mrs. Wilkin, widow of the late Theodore S. Wilkin, of the Wilkin-Challoner Company. Mr. Hollister and his bride returned from a wedding trip in the east October 28. They went into a new residence which Mr. Hollister had planned with his bride, and built during the spring and summer at 515 Algoma Street. There he was taken ill Wednesday, Nov. 11, and died Friday, Nov. 27.
The deceased was a member of the lodge of Elks and of the Hoo Hoo lodge. This latter is a national social association of the leading lumbermen of the country. Rex Hollister was also one of the prominent members of the Butte des Morts Yacht Club, and during the years of its existence was one of the gentlemen most influential in furthering the sport of yachting under its pennant. He was a prominent member also of the Oshkosh Yacht Club, and of the Oshkosh power boat club.
This morning the men employed at the Hollister, Amos & Co. sawmill, came to work at seven o'clock, innocent of--the knowledge of Mr. Hollister's death. They were deeply concerned, however, over his condition, and almost immediately they learned that he had passed away.
Then the men went to their foreman instead of to their appointed places. They were in no mood to work when the whistle blew, the wheels turned, but no stick of lumber was moved. And, brokenly, the spokesman of the workers said the men preferred not to work.
So the plant was shut down. Leaving the still factory, the men went silently out on the streets, and turned toward their respective homes.
The funeral services will be held Sunday afternoon at three oclock at the residence, 515 Algoma Street.Rev. A. M. Ayers of the First Presbyterian Church, and the Rev. Peter F. Stair of the Algoma Street Methodist Church will officiate. Rev. Mr. Ayres will deliver a brief sermon.
Mrs. John Cameron and Mr. Herman Powers, accompanied by Miss Nina Wallen, will sing. The pallbearers will be: Louis Schriber, Rufus Schriber, Joseph Fitch, James Bergstrum of Neenah, Jesse O'Brien and William Wilkin. The interment in Riverside Cemetery will be private.
Friends may view the remains at the residence Sunday morning between the hours of ten o1clock and twelve otclock.
The surviving relatives ares Mrs. Lena Hollister, widow; Col. S. W. Hollister, father; Mrs. William C. Bouck and Miss Edith Hollister, sisters; and C. W. and R. A. Hollister, brothers.

Accidental Consuming of the Liquid Used in Extinguisher Results in Death of Leander Huse
Died March 10, 1932
Leander Huse, 29 years old, soft drink parlor operator, died at Mercy Hospital at 6 o'clock this morning from kidney trouble induced by accidentally drinking a quantity of fire extinguisher fluid, according to report made following a post mortem and investigation by county officials.
The district attorney's office was notified that an examination was to be made of the body on account of the unusual circumstances in connection with the illness, and Mr. Keefe obtained informal report as to the findings.
There appears to have been nothing in connection with the case to indicate anything but accidental drinking of the fluid, Mr. Keefe said.
Mr. Huse was preparing to attend a funeral Feb. 27, and the officials were informed fire extinguisher fluid was being used in cleaning some of his clothing, at the soft drink parlor operated in his name at 1320 Oregon street.
Those who were present stated Huse took a drink of "liquor" and then picked up a white soda bottle, containing the fire extinguisher fluid, mistaking it for pop. It was stated he swallowed a quantity of the fluid before he realized it was not white soda.
He became ill as a result of drinking the liquid, but was not confined to bed until the next day. His condition became such that it was necessary to remove him to the hospital Thursday afternoon. Those who performed the post mortem examination said nothing was discovered that would indicate any other form of poisioning than what would result from drinking the cleaning substance.
Following a layoff two years ago from his job as a fireman on the Chicago & Northwestern railroad, Huse went into the soft-drink business. Previous to that he worked for the railroad about seven years, members of his family said. He roomed above the soft drink parlor at the home of Miss Mary Kollross.
Huse was born in Oshkosh Jan. 4, 1903. His mother, Mrs. Clara Huse; five brothers, George and Oscar Huse, Oshkosh, and Harvey, Earl and Eugene, all of Chicago; and four sisters, Mrs. J.A. Strohmeyer, Mrs. Alvin Johnson, and Miss Lucille Huse, all of Chicago, and Mrs. Emily Grassee, of Oshkosh, survive him.
The funeral will probably be held Sunday.
Huse was a member of the Eagles Lodge.
