September 26, 1958 — October 1, 2025 Douglas John Stockard, 67, of Weyauwega, Wisconsin went to his heavenly home on October 1, 2025. He was born on September 26, 1958, in Elyria, Ohio to Herbert and Jeanne (Cummins) Stockard. Douglas married Shelley (Potratz) Stockard, the love of his life, on September 11, 1993.

Doug was an avid antique gun collector, loved deer hunting, fishing at the River's Edge, cooking and baking, and enjoyed spending time with family and friends.

Weyauwega, WI — October 11, 2025 Main Street in Weyauwega will once again come alive this Saturday as the community gathers for its annual Horse and Buggy Days , a long-standing tradition that celebrates the city’s history and small-town spirit. This year’s event carries a special “Cheese-O-Wega”  theme, honoring Weyauwega’s rich heritage in Wisconsin’s cheese industry and the many local businesses that helped earn the town its flavorful reputation.

In earlier years, organizers even issued wooden nickels  as souvenirs — one from 1970 reads “10th Annual Horse and Buggy Days, Oct. 2-3, 1970, Weyauwega, Wis.” The celebration continues to evolve, blending tradition with new attractions, while always keeping its nostalgic charm. 2025 “Cheese-O-Wega” Schedule — Saturday, October 11 9–10 a.m.  — 5K Fun Walk/Run hosted by Silverback Strength 10 a.m.  — Scavenger Hunt registration at City Hall (awards at 4 p.m.) 10 a.m.  — Grain Silo Rededication – recently repainted landmark 11:30 a.m.  — Kiddie Parade on Main Street 12 p.m.  — Main Parade featuring cheese-themed floats and awards 12–3 p.m.  — Wega Fire Department Open House – raffle drawing at 2 p.m. 1–4 p.m.  — Cheesecake, Pie & Ice Cream Social – City Hall 1:30 p.m.  — Children’s Games on Main Street 1:30–3 p.m.  — Bingo – Dahlke Funeral Home 1:30 p.m.  — Mousehole Tourney – Main Street Taverns 1:30–4 p.m.  — Old-Fashioned Photo Booth – Gerold Opera House 2:30 p.m.  — Beard & Mustache Contest – Main Street Klippers 3 p.m.  — History of Cheese in Weyauwega Presentation – Gerold Opera House 4–5 p.m.  — Karaoke – Gerold Opera House 5 p.m.  — Cheese Curd Eating & Cheese Tasting Contests – City Hall 6:30 p.m.  — Bluegrass Concert featuring Chicken Wire Empire  – Gerold Opera HouseTickets $10 in advance, $15 at the door A Full Day of Family Fun The day will also feature a “bank robbery” reenactment, bounce houses, and live street performances by Professor Pinkerton Xyloma  of Deadman’s Carnival fame.

A weekend outing on Lake Poygan ended in tragedy after a two-day water rescue and recovery effort near the Bay Lane Boat Launch. According to the Winnebago County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were called to the launch around 4:37 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 4, for a report of a man in distress who had been found in the water by another boater. The man was pulled from the lake and transported by Fremont Ambulance to a local hospital, where he is expected to recover. During contact with others aboard the vessel, deputies learned that a second man was missing and believed to still be in the water. Search and rescue crews, including the Winnebago County Dive and Drone Teams, worked late into the evening and resumed the search Sunday. Early Sunday afternoon, the missing man was found deceased with assistance from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and multiple local fire departments, including Boom Bay, Winneconne-Poygan, Poy Sippi, Fremont, and Omro-Rushford. The victim’s name has not yet been released pending notification of family members. An eyewitness  told Weyauwega-Fremont News & Events  that high winds and choppy water conditions may have contributed to the accident, though authorities have not confirmed a cause. Officials have not yet said whether the vessel was privately owned or rented. The incident remains under investigation. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of those affected,” Sheriff John Matz  said in a statement. This story will be updated as more information becomes legally available  from the Winnebago County Sheriff’s Office and the Wisconsin DNR.

November 19th, 1939 - October 1, 2025 Daniel Eugene Solberg (professionally known as Danny Darren), age 85, of New London, went home to the Loving Embrace of our Heavenly Father on Wednesday, Oct. 1, 2025. Born on Nov. 19,1939 to Issac and Margaret Solberg in Kaukauna, he was the fifth child of 12 children born into a traditional country and bluegrass music-loving family. Music was often played until the wee hours of the morning and on holidays, especially at Christmas. At a young age, he formed his first band, Danny Darren and the Drifting Playboys (later changed to Danny Darren and the Drifting Cowboys). He appreciated fine musicianship and heartfelt singing. Some of his favorite artists were Hank Williams, Sr., Hank Snow, Bill Monroe, Stanley Brothers, Louvin Brothers and Merle Haggard. He performed over 20 years in the Milwaukee area at numerous honky tonks and clubs. He recorded several 45s and some albums in Hubertus and Nashville and enjoyed visiting with famous legends such as Porter and Dolly. A thrill of a lifetime for Danny was when he was the 'opening act' for country legend, Hank Snow. Danny has a brother in the business (Bobby Darren) and throughout the years, they've performed several shows and recorded a few CDs together. Music was a strong bond for both. Danny wrote a few songs including: "The Grand Ole Opry Song", "Oh Brother, Can't You See There's Something Missing" and "Loneliness". One of Danny's most recognized tunes is a song penned by Hank Williams, Sr., "Teardrop on A Rose". It's been noted he is the only person besides Hank to have ever recorded that song. Danny was an avid supporter of the veterans starting at the age of 12, performing for several years at the Veterans Home in King and at veterans' events in the Weyauwega area for Memorial Day and Veterans Day. In 2007, he recorded a CD entitled 'Forgotten Memories' featuring the single "Letter from Vietnam". In recent years, Danny continued playing at clubs and he also performed at area nursing and assisted living homes, with a favorite being Willow Lane in Appleton. He performed these shows with nephew, Jeffrey Solberg (who was his bass player and bandmate for 48 years) and his niece, Sheila Marie. Danny was an area favorite for many years, performing at the Weyauwega Horse and Buggy Days. He enjoyed playing guitar and singing during Mass at St. Peter and Paul Parish in Weyauwega. He also performed as part of a local group called High Lonesome Country/ Gospel with Buzz Jossie and Megan (Pethke) Prill. Throughout his life, Danny sang at countless funerals of family members and friends and always felt it was an honor. He often joked the only one he wouldn't be singing at would be his own. In 2017, a huge honor was bestowed upon Danny. He was inducted into the National Traditional Country Music Hall of Fame. He was also a member of the Rockabilly Hall of Fame and his music, especially his recording of 'Fool About You, is well known in the UK and has been featured on several compilation albums. In 2018, Danny was awarded a "CD of the Year Award" for his CD "Forgotten Memories" in the UK with a record review featured in the Country Music News International Magazine and Radio Show. In the record review, Bob Everhart, President of the National Traditional Country Music Association stated "Old time country music has always been a 'story in a song' and Danny Darren proves without a shadow of a doubt that 'truth' still persists in that kind of presentation....Danny is very expressive and honest in his presentation - that's what real country music is all about." Besides music, he had a great love for fishing, especially for Northerns. He enjoyed watching birds and wildlife in his yard. Danny loved all animals, especially dogs. He enjoyed movies from years ago including family shows and 'The Godfather'. He jokingly referred to himself as 'Danny Luciano'. He also loved to watch videos of family get-togethers and music shows from throughout the years of his and other favorite singers and musicians entertaining. A great way to capture the essence of who Danny was is by a quote he said after being inducted into the National Traditional Country Music Hall of Fame.... "I'm thankful for my Mother and Dad and the music they played and inspired us to play. I thank the Good Lord first for giving me the ability. If the Good Lord gives you a talent, you should use it and share it with others." Danny was one of a kind.... One of the last of the Country/Bluegrass purists... staying true to his roots and he will long be missed. He is survived by two daughters: Terrie (Jeff) Stokes and Karla Jepson; grandchildren: Westly Martin Stokes, Jordan Robert Stokes and Jasmyn Jepson, along with great-granddaughter Mia Stokes and great-grandson Theo Stokes; sisters and brother-in-law: Carol (Bob) Romportl and Marge Bigford; brothers and sisters-in-law: Richie (Margie), Ronnie (Ruth), Johnny, Raymond (Marlene), Vincent (Sandy) and Robert (Julie Stickney) Solberg and Debra Solberg; Godsons: Terrance Kilishek, Jason Solberg and Dan Solberg. Further survived by bandmates: nephew Bill Solberg, great-nephew Mickey O'Leary and niece Sheila Kilishek; numerous nieces and nephews and friends, including friend, Dan Davidson. Preceded in death by: his loving companion of over 30 years, Ada (Rita) Shilts, his parents, Ike and Marge Solberg; brothers and sisters-in-law: Gerald (Gloria) and Donald (Josephine) Solberg; sister and brother-in-law: Elizabeth (Richard) Kilishek, sister-in-law Connie Solberg, nephews and niece-in-law: Jeffrey (Phyllis) Solberg, Brian Solberg, Jimmy Solberg, Kurt Solberg, and Klint Solberg; nieces: TeLisa Solberg, Crystal Solberg, Marilyn Solberg; great-niece Allison Heegeman and great-nephews: Joshua Solberg, Jevon Lemke, Evan Sell, along with several beloved past bandmates and friends and family pets he cherished.

March 1st, 1940 - October 2nd, 2025 Janice Ruth Wichmann, 85, of Weyauwega, passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 2, 2025, following a period of declining health, after a day filled with visits from many beloved family and friends. Janice was born on March 1, 1940 in Weyauwega, WI, the daughter of Louis and Lydia (Kapitzke) Bauer. She graduated from Little Wolf High School in 1958. She married the love of her life, Arlo on March 23, 1963. They were happily married for over 53 years until Arlo's death in 2016. She missed him dearly. Janice spent over 50 years dairy farming alongside her husband, Arlo, and together they proudly hosted the Weyauwega-Fremont FFA Breakfast on the Farm in 2000. Deeply rooted in her community, Janice served as the General Leader of the Baldwins Mill 4-H Club during the years her children were involved, and taught Sunday School for many years. She also drove school bus for the Weyauwega-Fremont School District for many years-a role she enjoyed so much that, after retiring from milking cows, she convinced Arlo to join her behind the wheel. Janice cherished Sunday road trips with Arlo, the fellowship she found at St. John's Church before becoming homebound, and celebrating holidays surrounded by family. She loved connecting with her many friends and never missed a chance to playfully tease those closest to her. Just hours before her passing, Janice spoke with a smile about wanting to play canasta in heaven, a beloved New Year's tradition she had shared with friends for many years. Janice is survived by her four daughters: Jane (Rick) Olson of New London, Lisa (Paul) Dailey of Weyauwega, Erin Wichmann of Green Bay, and Sara (Erik) Wagner of Waupaca. She is also lovingly remembered by her grandchildren: Brooke and Courtney Olson; Jordan, Lauren (Kyle) Flease, Kirsten (Nate Volz), and McKenna Dailey; and Theo Wichmann. Janice was further blessed with two great-grandchildren, Allison and Declan Flease. Additionally, she is survived by her sister, Wilma Towne, many nieces and nephews, close friends and her beloved dog, Bentley. She was preceded in death by her husband, Arlo, and her parents. The funeral service for Janice will start at 11 am on Tuesday, October 7th, 2025 at St. John's Lutheran Church located at N3882 County Hwy KK, Weyauwega, WI 54983 with visitation at the church from 9:00 AM - 10:45 AM. Burial will follow the memorial service at Baldwins Mill Cemetery, Township of Royalton. The family would like to thank Trinity Terrace Assisted Living in New London and St. Croix Hospice. They would also like to give a special thanks to Pastor Al and Bonnie Moen and Chaplin Joe from St. Croix. Dahlke Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements.
