The Stillwater Messenger, December 26, 1865 Our citizens were shocked this morning by the announcement of the death of Mr. J. H. Sawyer, one of our most energetic and highly esteemed young citizens. He died at 9 o’clock this morning, after an illness of a few days of pneumonia. Some years ago Mr. Sawyer was one of our most extensive merchants. Having faith in the city of his adoption, he constructed the fine stone block on Main street known as the Sawyer Block. He was also the principal capitalist in the construction of the Sawyer House—two lasting monuments to his liberality and enterprise. Many other improvements in our city attest to his enterprsiing [sic] spirit. Two years ago last October Mr. Sawyer was elected Register of Deeds for Washington county, and was re-elected a few months ago. A man of sterling worth, his loss will be deeply felt throughout our county. Our limits prevent a more extended notice of this sad event this morning. To his family and extensive circle of relatives and friends, we extend our sympathies; and in doing this, we but express the sympathies of our entire community. SCHEFFER, Joseph The Stillwater Messenger, December 26, 1865 Death of an Aged Citizen All of our citizens, and especially the little boys and girls of our city, will remember Mr. Joseph Scheffer, father of Hon. Chas. Scheffer, Treasurer of State, who has resided in this place during most of the past six years. Although he had approximated his three score and ten, he was ever active, and a friend of all. Few men of more generous impulses ever lived than Father Scheffer. The little children would flock around him as the honey-bees gather around the June flowers. Mr. Scheffer, who had spent his time alternately between his children at Stillwater and Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, during the past few years, died at the latter place, surrounded by his children, on the 26th ult. Mr. Scheffer was born in a small village on the Rhine in ’93. His early years were devoted to the study of chemistry, in which science he was a devoted student. In 1813 he joined the grand armies then operating against the French invaders under Napoleon. He attained the position of first Lieutenant in Field Marshall Blucher’s army. He participated in the bloody battle of Waterloo and the triumphal march of Blucher’s division to the city of Paris. We spent many pleasant hours with the old gentleman in Milwaukee one year ago last summer, and while recounting these scenes, in view of the then passing events in our own history, his eyes would light up and glisten with all the fervor and patriotism of early youth. After the close of the war, he returned to his native place, where for a number of years he was engaged in business as a druggist, and afterwards opened a commission house. In 1849 he emigrated to this country with his large family, and has always resided in the West. Mr. Scheffer was a republican in the true sense of the word. He believed in the equality of all men, and always sympathized with the down-trodden and poor. In Germany, as well as in this country, he was a prominent actor in every charitable and benevolent undertaking. The revolution of 1848 found him on the side of the liberal party of Germany, and during the late rebellion he was a staunch friend and support of the Government. The evening of his life was made happy and serene by the overthrow of the slave power and the triumph of liberty and correct principles. To the large circle of family friends we extend our warmest sympathies in their affliction. SCHUELLING, William Minneapolis Tribune, May 15, 1910 William Schuelling Called Veteran's Body to Be Interred at Stillwater on Tuesday.
