“I have lived in this area all my life and this

is the first time I’ve been to this museum!”

This has been an oft stated reflection by

several Price County citizens when they set

foot in the Old Town Hall Museum and

Greenfield School this summer. When my

wife Louise and I are hosts we have reas-

sured visitors they have nothing to be

ashamed of – rather we expressed our

genuine joy that they chose to make the

stop and browse through the displays. And

we encourage them to take their time, ask

questions, and don’t rush! Enjoy the ex-

perience! And to a person this summer

each one we have visited with has com-

mented on how beautiful the two buildings

look considering their ages. We are quick

to point out the generosity of the members

and patrons who share the mission to pre-

serve the buildings and the collections

housed within them. And we point out the

numerous volunteers willing to

host each Saturday and Sunday at the

museum, and how each of the board mem-

bers have taken an interest in their area of

interest within the jobs needed to make

the Society function. SO we once again

close another successful season at the

museums, with a hearty THANK YOU to

all the members, volunteers, patrons and

visitors!

June, July, and August were good to us

this year as the weather generally cooper-

ated and folks decided to see the muse-

ums for the first time, or they wanted to

return to enjoy hanging out and leisurely

viewing displays, often discovering some-

thing they missed the first time through.

The Strawberry Shortcake and Pie Social

were again very successful with strong

attendance. The Spaghetti Feed back in

April was our best ever! The support shown

provided revenue to help preserve the col-

lections and for maintenance on the build-

ings. The final fund raiser is the annual

Chili Supper at the Fifield Town Hall, on

October 9, 2018. Come one, come all

and enjoy some hearty, home-cooked chili prepared by the renowned Bonnie Salm! She

works her magic in the kitchen and provides an excellent and tasty menu! We hope to

see you there!

Another source of support is from the sales of the local history books offered through the

Society. Although interest ebbs and flows, this summer seemed to be more flow. The

gift shop at the museum offers a complete line of all titles, while select Park Falls area

titles are offered at the Park Falls Chamber Office and Phillips area titles are offered at

the Phillips Chamber office. Brady Johnson offers Phillips area titles at his Johnson’s

Hardware on Lake Ave. in Phillips, while the Park Falls Ace Hardware offers Park Falls

area related titles. A big THANK YOU to each of these organizations and businesses for

their support of the PCHS! And for those of you who like to shop online, check out our

updated Price County Historical Society, Inc. website! Just google Price County Historical

Society, Inc. and you’ll have a complete list of books offered, prices, and ordering instruc-

tions. The site has been updated through the efforts of Eric Tollefson and Laurie Pilch.

1918: A Year of Sorrow and Joy

By: John L. Berg

When we last read of the 119th Machine gun

Battalion, the boys were on their way home

and ready to resume their civilian lives in

north-central Wisconsin. Loved ones eagerly

awaited their return, and perhaps were eager

to hear of their “adventures” in the far-away

battlefields in France. Historian Glenn

Brazelton notes in his “Company B 119th

Machine Gun Battalion: Price County’s WW1

Heroes,” page 45: “But for some men the

war wasn’t yet over. Many men like Edwin

Everson, Elmer Martin, and others were

wounded by machine gun bullets, peppered

by shrapnel, or choked by gas attacks.”

Few of the home front friends and relatives

had any understanding of the horrors experi-

enced by those soldier, sailors, and airmen

who fought and toiled in one of the bloodiest

conflicts of modern industrial-mechanized

warfare. One of those who returned with sig-

nificant injuries and passed away after he

made it back to Price County was Lyle Nathan

Lane. The Phillips Times published his obitu-

ary on page one of its June 7, 1919 issue:

Lyle Nathan Lane . Lyle Nathan Lane died at

home in this city Friday morning, June 6,

1919, at about 10:15 o’clock. We are called

upon this morning to make this particularly

sad announcement. Prepared to receive this,

as we have been for the past several days,

when it had been understood that no other

termination of his illness could be hoped for,

yet it comes to us as the saddest of mes-

sages and every head in Phillips is bowed in

deep regret and great sympathy with the Fa-

ther, Mother, and Sister. Welcomed home

from the World War only a few short weeks

ago after more than a year’s service in the

A.E.F. in France. While he was not in robust

health it was thought that a few weeks rest

would place him so. The last part of April he

went to Milwaukee to take up a post gradu

ate course in horology, when his health gave

way and he returned home. Since that time,

about the middle of May, he steadily grew

weaker in spite of the aid of the best medical

treatment and care that could be obtained.

For some time his ailment baffled the skill of

consulted physicians, but was finally pro-

nounced general tubercular infection, proba-

bly contracted in the trenches. Lyle Nathan

Lane was born in Phillips, April 5, 1893, and

Phillips has since been his home town.

Graduating from the local high school he

later attended Ripon College, after which he

learned the jeweler’s trade and about a year

previous to the United States entering the

war he was the active member of the Lane

Jewelry Company of this city.

The funeral services for Private Parker, July, 1919, in Park

Falls, Wisconsin. PCHS Collection,

When war was declared he was among the

first to enlist in Co. A 6th Wisconsin Na-

tional Guard on May 11, 1917. On the or-

ganization of the company Lyle was given

a Sergeancy. He closed his jewelry store

and actively worked for recruits to A Co.

He went with our boys to Camp Douglas,

to Camp McArthur [Waco, Texas –ed]

where the 6th was broken up and with the

rest of our boys he went into Co. B 119th

Machine Gun Battalion, retaining his offi-

cial position in the new organization. From

there the boys went to France, landing

March 4, 1918. Sgt. Lyle Nathan Lane par-

ticipated in all the active fighting of the

119th M.G. Bn., sharing in the glorious re-

cord it made. While in action in the Ar-

gonne Forest, Lyle, as ranking sergeant,

the commissioned officers present having

been either wounded or gassed, was in

command of the battalion for some hours.

For the record that he had made as a non-

commissioned officer and soldier, espe-

cially for his conduct while in command of

the battalion in action, Sgt Lane was rec-

ommended to an officer’s training school

in France, from the field, about Oct. 16th,

1918, and he was attending that school

when the signing of the Armistice less than

a month later, stopped the issuing of new

commissions and the school closed. No

possible words of ours can convey to the

sorrow-stricken relatives any consolation

and but a slight realization of the great

sympathy felt with them by our citizens, yet

we assure them that to many of us Lyle

was held in very high esteem and with

them bow in sorrow. Funeral services will

be held from the home Sunday afternoon

at 2 o’clock, under auspices of the Phillips

Lodge No. 225, F. & A. M., of which Lyle

was a member, with a military escort.

In the week following the Phillips Times, Phillips Bee and Park Falls Herald all announced

the great joy for the celebrations on June 4, 1919 in Phillips and June 5, 1919 in Park

Falls, while other Price County villages held their own celebrations. It was a time of reun-

ion with family and friends, a time to relax and enjoy the fact that so many had survived

the terrible ordeal, and a time to reflect on the fallen comrades who didn’t make it back.

History doesn’t provide all the answers. History does show us the questions that must be

asked. We have the opportunity, in 2018, to read the plethora of books and periodicals by

historians who have studied and are studying causes and consequences of the Great War.

Returning to David Reynolds’ The Long Shadow: The Legacies of the Great War In The

Twentieth Century, he writes, “The first day of the Somme was a horrific glimpse into the

experience of continental Europe during the first half of the twentieth century, a horror

sharpened by awareness these were men who had chosen to fight. Yet the memories of

most wars fade as its participants die off. The Great War endures because of the contin-

ued human presences of the past, which helps the dead seem ‘as real as we’ – in the

words of historian George Macaulay Tervelyan.”

Thus we too can glimpse the now long passed survivors of the Great War as they returned

to Price County in 1919. As we view these scenes and the people in them, this visual his-

tory shows us the questions that must be asked, even though they may never be suffi-

ciently answered.

Join with us for a presentation by John L. Berg on October 21, 2018 at 1 p.m.

at the Fred Smith Studio located in the Wisconsin Concrete Park south of

Phillips on Highway 13 for a glimpse into the continued human presence of

the past as we take a look at Home At Last: The Return of Price County Veter-

ans of the Great War.

A Call For Photographs, Artifacts,

Documents, Diaries, Journals, Tools

By: John L. Berg

During the past year we have received sev-

eral artifacts, documents, and photographs

either by personal delivery or via mail. A

sample of photographs follows. If you are

cleaning out your collections, closets, attics

or garages, PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING

ANY PHOTOGRAPHS, ARTIFACTS, DOCU-

MENTS, LEDGERS, DIARIES OR TOOLS TO

THE PRICE COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY

INC.!!! WE WILL GLADLY TAKE AUTHENTIC

HISTORIC ITEMS, PARTICULARLY PHOTO-

GRAPHS, ARTIFACTS, DOCUMENTS, LEDG-

ERS, and DIARIES!!! We also want to expand

on our collection of School Yearbooks (see

information sheet).

The following is a sampling from recent pho-

tos received by mail from a family on the

west coast with Price County ties. DeWitt

Van Ostrand was born near Fond du Lac,

Wisconsin, in August,1867. He came to Phil-

lips in December, 1888, to Work for the Phil-

lips Lumber Company, which later became

the John R. Davis Lumber Company. In 1895

he opened a retail lumber business and in

1897 he married Anna M. Buck, of Berlin,

Wisconsin. The Van Ostrands were partners

with others who incorporated the Good Land

Company on November 18, 1901. On Febru-

ary 11, 1919, Van Ostrand partnered with

several others to incorporate the Van Os-

trand Company. Both of these companies

were established to buy cutover lands from

lumber companies and resell them to pro-

spective settlers and farmers. Van Ostrand

was a widely recognized Price County pro-

moter and booster. He lived his life in Phil-

lips and also spent significant time at his

summer home at Pike Lake. DeWitt Van

Ostrand passed away on March 4, 1946 at

his home and is buried in Lakeside Ceme-

tery in Phillips.

In this photo-

graph, he and

his wife Anna

are spending

time with their

children during

a celebration

and visitation at

their home.

These photo-

graphs are from

a series re-

cently donated

to the PCHS by

Debbie Hughes

Handy, whose

family

purchased the

DeWitt Van Ostrand house in Phillips in the

1960s. Thank you Debbie!
