Paul Mannhardt

Residency: 1920

Paul Mannhardt has a Memorial Page.

Paul Manhardt was born in Milwaukee, WI on Sept. 24, 1885 and ran a barber shop and bowling alley in that city.  He came to Vilas County
in June 1920 and purchased the William Radue summer home on Big St. Germain Lake.  This was on part of the land that also held Radue's Resort.  William had sold the resort part to a person who's last name was Voek.  Nothing else is known about Voeke.  In 1923 Paul also purchased Voek's Resort (Radue's Resort) which had been built by William Radue.  This consisted of a main lodge and four cottages, which Paul renamed Clear View Lodge (in time Clear View merges together into one word).

Helen Maris

Residency: 1975

Helen was married to Henry "Hank" Maris.  After she had surgery and went home, she began to feel sickly.  It grew worse and worse, but the doctor could not find out what was wrong.  She was suffering and in agony in spite of pain medications and her doctor finally ordered exploratory surgery.  During the surgery it was found that a sponge had been left in her from the earlier surgery.  By then it was too late and she died from a massive infection.

Henry Maris

Residency: 1975

Henry was known as "Hank" and he was employed by Northland Pines School District as a custodian for many years (retired).  When his wife, Helen, passed away because of a botched surgery, he was asked by some in town if he was going to sue.  His reply was "I am not a sewer (sic).  My grief and sorrow are not so shallow that the balm of money will sooth it over."

Yes, he said, "sewer," and spelled it out loud this way.  He added that the pronunciation fit those kind of people.  We agree with Hank and so do many others!  He took his wife's death quite hard and it took much time along with the support of many of the townspeople for him to recover. He was in his eighties when struck by an arrogant, "I-can-go-where-I-want" snowmobiler whom he was trying to keep from running over his septic area. (which was no where near the sanctioned trail) and he never recovered well from that.
