Grant County Advocate
Wednesday, 22 March 1876

         The people of Arcadia, Wis., suffered heavy loss
       by the recent heavy floods at that point. The water
       ran through the main street to the depth of three
       or four feet. Lumber merchants were the greatest
       losses by the floating away of their stocks. A party
       consisting of JOHN BATHER, a man 50 years old, and
       ALBERT HOWARD, his wife and a child 4 weeks old,
       were drowned in attempting to ford the Waumandee
       creek, near Fountain City, Wis., at the time the
       flood was at its greatest height.

National Democrat
Mineral Point, WI
Friday, 31 March, 1876
(possibly the same people?)

         Not long ago, Mr. JOHN BACHLER and ALBERT HAUERT,
       of Waumandee, left Alma for home, and when crossing
       the Little Waumandee Creek, near the fair grounds,
       were drowned. They did not know that the bridge had
       been swept away and drove into the rushing waters,
       and perished. At last accounts their bodies had not
       been recovered.
