Jeffrey A. Dallman

Reprinted from the Stevens Point Daily Journal, June 20, 1988. Contributed by Betty Martz.

A 21-year-old town of Sharon woman was shot and killed by her boyfriend, who then killed himself late Sunday night. Lisa M. Wierzba, 2554 Kranski Lake Road, and Jeffrey A. Dallman, 22, Route 1, Hatley, were pronounced dead at the scene by Portage County Deputy Coroner Fred LaRosa.

Portage County Sheriff's Department deputies said the shooting was a murder-suicide. Wierzba died of a gunshot wound to her chest, they said, and Dallman died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The shooting took place shortly before midnight at the town of Sharon home where Wierzba lived with her parents. Deputies said the pair had been together during the weekend, and Dallman brought her home about 9:30 p.m. Sunday.

Wierzba had gone to bed, deputies said, but got up again when Dallman returned to the house about 11:40 p.m. The pair were in the kitchen talking, deputies said, and went outside when Wierzba's mother came into the room. The two continued talking, deputies said, and then her mother heard two shots and discovered the bodies in the driveway. Other family members were sleeping at the time, deputies said.

Dallman used a .30-.06-caliber rifle in the shooting, deputies said, and they found the case to the weapon in his truck. The pair had been dating for more than four years, deputies said, and they suspect the shooting was prompted by her attempts to break off the relationship.

Wierzba was a graduate of Rosholt High School and was employed by First Financial. Funeral arrangements for her are pending at Shuda Funeral Chapel. Dallman was also a graduate of Rosholt High School and was employed at Gil's Repair. Funeral arrangements for him are pending at Hayden Funeral Home in Schofield.

The last murder in Portage County occurred Mary 18, 1966, in Stevens Point when Ronald A. Wheeler stabbed Daniel A. Mansavage to death at Wheeler's residence. Wheeler was sentenced Aug. 27, 1966, to 10-years in prison after a jury found him guilty of manslaughter.

Frances Dickson

Native of Portage County Expires at Whitefish Bay Last Week

Frances Dickson was born at the old farm home of the Dickson family in the town of Almond, April 21 st , 1857, and died at Whitefish Bay, a suburb of Milwaukee, on the 24 th of July, 1917.

Frances was the daughter of Walter and Mary Dickson. Walter Dickson was one of the best known of the Wisconsin Valley pioneers. He settled at Grand Rapids in 1844 and later moved to and made the farm home in Almond township. It was there that Frances was born and lived her life up to a little more than seven years ago, when with her sister, Mrs. Helen Corrigan, she moved to Whitefish Bay, that they might be near Mrs. Corrigan's son, Walter D. Corrigan.

A prayer service was held at the Whitefish Bay home on last Wednesday, Rev. William Bennett officiating. He was the family pastor of forty years ago, and ever since a loyal and devoted friend of the Dickson family. The funeral services, Rev. Joslin of Plainfield officiating, were held at Lone Pine, near the old farm home, and in the midst of those who had been neighbors and friends of the Dickson family for more than half a century. Interment was had in the Lone Pine cemetery, beside the father and mother.

Frances is survived by her three sisters, Mrs. Helen Corrigan, Mrs. Addie Anthony and Mrs. Angeline Radcliffe, and other relatives, to all of whom she had made her life dear and to whom her memory will be a sacred treasure. She had been a sufferer from ill health a large part of her life, but in spite of infirmities she always made herself of useful service to others. Her conception of duty was extraordinary, and her promptness and industry in performance commanded love and admiration, especially from those who best knew the physical difficulties under which she labored.

The fullness of her virtues cannot be written in a brief obituary. The writer has known them from "childhood's happy days, down on the farm," and joins with a united sorrowing family and a host of friends in saying that sorrow and time will only make her sad features more attractive, bringing out more fully her spiritual beauty. She was ever faithful and true. She had all the most sacred excellencies and endowments of the human mind. Her virtues were numbered only by human limitations. Her life inspires us to think beautifully and sweetly of memories, even in these days of grief and sadness. To have had such a noble woman for a dear relative or friend, makes the rest of life worth living. -W.D.C.

Walter Dickson

Walter Dickson, whose death has been previously announced, was born October 24, 1820, near Warren, Trumbull, Ohio. At the age of 19 he moved to western Ohio, and from there went to southern Indiana, where he engaged in running flat boats out of the Ohio river and down the Mississippi. He moved to Grand Rapids, Wis, in 1844, where he became a lumberman and river pilot on the Wisconsin and Mississippi rivers, which occupation he followed for twenty-five years, part of which time he also ran a farm on which his family lived since 1855 at Lone Pine.

Too much commendation can not be given him as a husband and father. Throughout his life he was generous, kind, and true to his principles, true to himself, his family and his fellow men, and at death receives and deserves the kind thought and good word of a world of friends and acquaintances.

Death of Former Stockton Town Clerk Occurs at Amherst Junction

James P. Dineen, age 74, for many years town clerk of the town of Stockton and more recently village clerk at Amherst Junction, died at his home at Amherst Junction at 5 o'clock this morning after an illness of a year and a half.

Mr. Dineen had been a sufferer with abscesses and his death also was hastened by hardening of the arteries. He was a patient at St. Michael's hospital in Stevens Point about a year ago, receiving a course of treatment for the abscesses, and later went to Rochester, Minn., for similar medical attention. His health had been failing since then.

He was the owner of a billiard parlor at Amherst Junction at the time of his death. He and his wife had lived there for the past 10 years, or ever since he gave up active farming on his farm south of Custer.

Son of Pioneers

Mr. Dineen was a native of Canada but was brought to Wisconsin with his parents when a baby. His father and mother, the late Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dineen, were pioneers of Stockton town. They first located at Jordan, but remained there only a short time, then settled north of Custer on the farm where the son grew to young manhood. After the marriage of James Dineen to Miss Catherine Corrigan of Stockton they established their own farm home in the same town, remaining there continuously until their removal to Amherst Junction.

The deceased was always actively interested in local politics and served as clerk of Stockton town over a long span of years. After his removal to Amherst Junction he continued in public office, being elected and serving as village clerk up to the time of his serious illness.

Those Who Survive

The widow, five sons and two daughters survive. The sons are Walter and Carl Dineen of Amherst Junction, Claude of Amherst, Henry of Milwaukee and William P. of Palatka, Florida. Miss Mary Dineen of Chippewa Falls and Mrs. Thomas Hopkins of Kaukauna are the daughters.

No arrangements for the funeral have been made, pending word from the son who is in Florida.

A telegram received in this city Monday morning announced the death of Mrs. Anna Donahue, wife of the late Jas. Donahue, she having passed away at the home of her son, Ed. Donahue, in Mauston, at 5:10 o'clock that morning. She had always enjoyed the best of health until two weeks ago last Sunday, when she was taken ill with summer complaint.

Donahue over 55 years ago, and they sailed for Canada the following year.

Mrs. Donahue was a most exemplary Christian woman, a good mother and friend, and the many who knew her these many years will be pained to learn of her death.

MISSING PILOT CRASHED INTO SEA, IS WORD
Detailed Report Sent To Parents of Lieut. "Jerry" Dumphy

Lieut. (jg) Frank Gerald Dumphy, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank A. Dumphy, 327 Franklin street, who was reported in January as missing in the performance of his duty in the navy, crashed in the collision of the fighter plane he was piloting with another plane in his squadron, his parents have been informed by his flight commander, John P. Rembart, Jr. He was serving in the southwest Pacific and was 26 years old. A letter from the flight commander, containing detailed information and dated January 28, says in part:

"By now the navy department will have informed you that Jerry is missing in action. I know what a shock this news must have brought, and in writing you this letter I do not want to aggravate that shock. But I believe you will want to know the details of what happened so far as we can determine and that is what I will attempt to give you now.

Anxious to Get Jap Plane

"Our squadron has been based on a small island in the South Pacific. Every day we have taken part in combat missions to enemy territory. Jerry has his regular turn in those missions. He seemed happy and interested in his work. He was impatient to knock down his first enemy plane. On January 1 our fighters escorted a large number of bombers to the Rabaul area. During and after the bombing run, our information was attached by enemy Zero fighters. Everything seemed to be all right until we were well on the retirement course toward home.

"At that time Jerry suddenly pulled up from below and crashed his plane into a plane piloted by Lt. (jg) Robert Irven Roth, of our squadron. Jerry's plane was cut into two just forward of the tail section. The two parts were seen to crash into the sea. Jerry did not parachute and he was not seen to get out of the plane. Subsequent search of the area was negative. Jerry evidently did not see the other plane when he pulled up. Most of us believe that Jerry or his plane had been hit by previous enemy fire and that one or the other was out of control. Lt. Roth sustained minor damage to his plane and brought it back to base."

Still Listed as Missing

The letter said that the possibilities of Lieutenant Dumphy being found alive were small but added that the parents should not lose all hope as there have been cases of missing pilots being found weeks and months after failure to return to base. It also added there was a possibility he was a prisoner of war. In any case, he will be listed as missing until January 1, 1946.

"The squadron had come to know Jerry well and to like him without exception," the letter continued. "Each of his squadron mates feels a deep personal loss in his passing. Jerry's country is proud of him and I know, behind your grief, you are proud, too. Your son has given the last full measure of devotion."

AGNES LUELLA DYER

Beautiful Life Story Closes on Christmas Eve.

The announcement of the death of Miss Agnes Luella Dyer Monday evening brought a tinge of sadness to many homes where she was known in contrast to the general Christmas joy. Miss Dyer has been in poor health since last May, when she began to droop gradually into a decline without any acute illness. In June she was compelled to give up her school duties and devote her time to rest and recreation. Although the best medical assistance here and in Milwaukee was secured it seemed impossible to relieve her condition. For some months her friends have realized that there was no hope. She too gradually came to realize that she was not to remain long with her friends and during the past few weeks her life, always so pure and beautiful has taken on a new aspect. She became so gentle and thoughtful and patient that she has seemed to those about her as if inspired. She arranged everything that she was interested in, in anticipation of the parting and though she longed to remain with her mother and sisters she was resigned and fully prepared to go. During the past few days she had weakened rapidly and it was felt that the end would come on or very near Christmas day. She wanted her sisters to go on with the usual arrangements for Christmas and she took much interest in the preparations. Monday afternoon she suffered a sinking spell and at 7 o'clock peacefully passed away retaining consciousness to the last.

Miss Agnes was born in this city on February 14, 1892, being nearly 15 years old. She was the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dominick Dyer. Her father passed away when she was two years old. She has always been an attendant at St. Stephens school from the kindergarten up to the eighth grade which was finished last June, with a very creditable record. She was a child of frail physique and delicate beauty and was a favorite with all who knew her. Her last days were brightened by many kindly remembrances in the way of flowers and like mementoes sent in by her thoughtful friends. These little tokens were tenderly cherished and often spoken of by her with much delight.

SERIOUSLY INJURED

Dominick Dyer Meets With a Severe Accident Near Cadott.

A report became current on the streets last Wednesday evening that Dominick Dyer of this city had met with an accident while riding on a load of logs that afternoon near Cadott, in which he had been seriously injured and would probably die. Upon hearing the report messages were sent to Cadott, but nothing definite as to his condition could be learned. The operator at Cadott said in reply that a physician at that place had been sent for to attend Dyer, but definite particulars could not be obtained. Rev. W. J. Rice, accompanied by Dr. Trimble, M. Clifford, E. D. Glennon, M. Cassidy, Anthony Cunneen and M. O'Keefe boarded the 1:20 A.M. limited and went to Cadott. Here it was learned that Mr. Dyer's injuries, while very severe, were not necessarily fatal. The accident occurred at about 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Dyer & Martin are running two logging camps a few miles from Cadott. Mr. Dyer was riding to the landing, the places where the logs are unloaded, with James Packard. The latter was driving a four-horse team and his load consisted of thirty-five logs. The load was a very heavy one, and when the sled struck the ice on the river, the ice on one side broke through. As it did so the load of course toppled to one side and the binding chain broke. Mr. Dyer was on the side that sank down, and was thrown or jumped down on the ice. As he did so the two top logs of the load followed him, one of the logs, which scaled 330 feet, striking him on the back. The log fell a distance of about fourteen feet, and the wonder is that he was not instantly killed. The log struck his back near the hips. Three ribs on the left side were broken and when the gentlemen above named left there on Thursday, both legs were paralyzed. There were also evidences of concussion of the spine. At that time his mind was clear, but his injuries are very severe and his condition critical. The doctors, however, have hopes of his recovery. He was taken to Cadott after the accident, where he is having every care possible. Mr. Dyer has many friends in this city, all of whom hope for his speedy recovery.

Death of Dominic Dyer

The death of Dominic Dyer occurred at his home on Clark street at 3 o'clock last Saturday afternoon. The particulars of the accident which befell him near Cadott on the afternoon of February 14th have already been given in this paper and do not need to be recapitulated. From the first the physicians called to attend him regarded his condition as most critical, and in view of the severe nature of his injuries the wonder is, not that they finally proved fatal, but that he lived as long as he did. Nothing but a naturally robust constitution and a hopeful, cheerful disposition enabled him to bear up so long under his terrible affliction and finally permitted him to close up his business affairs and then calmly await the end which he fully realized was close at hand. His transfer from Cadott to his home on the previous Wednesday appeared to have no deleterious effects; but of course he had been growing weaker all the time, and it was evident to the physicians who attended him from the first, and had made a complete and correct diagnosis of his injuries, that death was inevitable. For this reason they were anxious to transfer him to his own home as soon as possible. His mind, however, was as clear as ever and on Saturday he transferred his lumbering interests to his partner and executed his will. This business was finally completed about an hour before his death, and from that time on he calmly awaited the will of the Master.

Dominic Dyer was a native of New Jersey and at the time of his death was in the 42d year of his age. He was born at Andover, in the above state, April 15, 1852, but when about seven years of age removed with his parents to Traverse City, Michigan. When a young man of about 22, he came to Stevens Point, which place since then, with the exception of about one year at Clinton, Iowa, has since been his home. After coming here he worked in the lumbering woods, finally engaging in jobbing on his own account. For a time he was associated with M. Cassidy. As the years went by his industry was rewarded, and some time ago he built himself a nice home on Clark street. About four years ago, in company with E. A. Martin, he entered into a large contract, the execution of which would extend over a period of eight or ten years, with the Laird-Norton Co. of Winona. It was while engaged at this work that he met with the accident that cost him his life. On June 4, 1885, he was married to Miss Ella, daughter of Patrick O'Keefe of Stockton. To them three daughters were born and these with their mother, who has been in poor health for some time, survive him. The children are aged seven, five and two years respectively. Mrs. Ellen Dyer, his aged mother, and two brothers, Thomas and James, arrived here on Saturday evening's train from Traverse City, Michigan.

The funeral took place from St. Stephen's church at 10 o'clock last Tuesday forenoon, and was largely attended. The funeral was in charge of Stevens Point Branch No. 11, C. K. of W., and St. Stephen's Court No. 258, C. O. F., of which societies deceased was an honored member. St. Joseph's Branch No. 123, Catholic Knights of Wisconsin, also took part in the procession and there were about one hundred and twenty-five in line. The marching column first proceeded to the residence and from there followed the remains to the church. At the church Requiem High Mass was celebrated, with Rev. W. J. Rice as celebrant, Rev. M. H. Clifford as deacon, Rev. Westcamp as sub-deacon and Rev. L. Pescinski as master of ceremonies. At the conclusion of these exercises Rev. Rice made a brief but thoughtful and appropriate address upon the importance of living a christian life, so that we may be prepared for the great change which all know must come to them sooner or later.
