FRED JONAS

DEATH COMES TO FRED JONAS AT MISHICOT
Pioneer Resident of the Co. and Father of Judge Jonas
Fred Jonas, one of the most widely known and popular farmers in the county,
died at the family home on the farm near Mishicot last night. Mr. Jonas had
been ill for several months but his conditions did not become critical until
about a week ago and while the end was not unexpected it came as a shock to
relatives and friends. The funeral will be held from the home Sunday afternoon
at 2 o’clock, the Rev. Hawkes of Two Rivers officiating at the services and
burial will be at the Saxonburg cemetery.
Born at the same farm where the death occurred, Mr. Jonas would have been
seventy-one at his next birthday, May 4. He received his early education in
the schools of the county and became greatly interested in the county
educational movement, serving as member of the school board for many years
and taking an active part in school affairs. His interest in the schools
reflected in the fact that his sons and daughters took up teaching as a
profession and one, Miss Esther Jonas, is now a member of the staff at the
West Allis school.
Father of Chicago Jurist
Forty-five years ago Mr. Jonas was married to Miss Augusta Paarman and the
couple came to this city to live for a short time. Later they moved to Chicago
but did not find the big city to their liking and after spending a short time
there returned to the old homestead at Mishicot where they have since resided.
Last summer a family reunion was held at which all of the children were present,
the occasion being made a sort of community celebration in which hundreds of
friends and neighbors took part.
Surviving Mr. Jonas are the widow, five sons, Hugo Jonas of this city, Judge
Edgar A. Jonas and Attorney Fred Jonas, both of Chicago, Harry Jonas of
Minneapolis, and August Jonas of Tacoma, Washington and five daughters, Miss Meta
Jonas of Chicago, Mrs. Rose Gloe of Two Rivers, Mrs. James Panoch of Mishicot,
Mrs. William H. Glander of this city and Miss Esther Jonas of West Allis. Ten
grandchildren and a sister, Mrs. Charles Metzner of ..(last line blank, no ink..)
