Mrs. Mary Szyenanski of Carson, Portage County, Wisconsin SUBJECT: Mrs. Mary Szyenanski SUBMITTER: Dawn Mueller EMAIL: muellers98@aol.com DATE: July 13, 2005 SURNAMES: Szyenanski, Neumann, Leith, Rogers From Stevens Point Journal, October 14, 1911- Mrs. Mary Szyenanski, who lives in the town of Carson, was arrested on Wednesday by Undersherrif Guyant and brought to this city. The warrant was issued upon complaint of Gustav Neumann, who alledged that on Oct 11 the defendant committed an assault upon his wife, Mrs. Ida Neumann, with intent to do great bodily harm. It seems that Mr. Neumann and his wife were working some of the defendant's land on shares and a disbute arose over the division of the potato crop and that when Neumann and his wife were working in the field the defendant struck the latter on her back with the head of an axe, so it is alleged. When arraigned in county court the defendant pleaded not guilty and the case adjourned to Oct 20. Her bail was fixed at $200, in default of which she was taken to jail. From Stevens Point Journal, October 21, 1911 - Mrs. Mary Szyenanski of the town of Carson, who was arrested a few days ago, was charged with having assaulted Mrs. Ida Neumann with an axe, is still in the county jail and may be examined as to her sanity. As yet she has not been able to secure a bail bond of $200. Some of those who know her best say they would willing to sign a bond but for the fact they fear she is not of sound mind and therefore might get them in trouble. From Stevens Point Journal, October 21, 1911 - Mrs. Mary Szyenanski of Carson, the woman who was charged with attacking Mrs. Ida Neumann with an axe, has been pronounced insane and taken to the Northern asylum. She was examined by Drs Leith of Junction City and Rogers of this city. _______________________ NOTE Dawn Mueller is related to Gustav & Ida Neumann. ----------------------------------------------------- USGENWEB ARCHIVES NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free genealogical information on the Internet, data may be freely used for personal research and by non-commercial entities as long as this message remains on all copied material.
