Death Removes Mrs. George W. Kollock, Former Plover, Almond and Buena Vista Resident

Pioneer days in Portage, Marathon and Lincoln Counties will be recalled by the death on August 27 of Mrs. George W. Kollock, for many years engaged in the hotel business at Plover, Wausau, Merrill and other places. She passed away at a hospital in Merrill and was buried there Wednesday morning.

She was born in Yorkshire, England, 82 years age the 7^th of May and was married to Mr. Kollock in 1862.

They lived at Jenny (now Merrill) where Mr. Kollock had charge of a store and boarding house owned by B. F. Cooper. They later moved to Buena Vista and Almond, conducting farms in these towns for a few years, but for nearly half a century they operated hotels at Plover, Wausau, De Pere, Chilton, Jenny and other places. Mr. Kollock died some years ago and through a series of legal entanglements his widow lost nearly all the property they owned.

Mrs. Kollock was taken ill two years ago and six weeks before her death. She became a patient at Lincoln Hospital, Merrill. Rev. J. W. Davies, Presbyterian pastor conducted the funeral services.
