Shoop,Warrenton,Oregon all living. Mrs Effie Christmas,Edmond S! hoop and Andrew
Shoop deceased. From a history of Shortville,Wi comes the following: Andrew Shoop
was born in Pennsylvania and moved to Clark County, Wisconsin about 1873. He
purchased a parcel of land at the northeast corner of Section 8, township twenty-three
North, Range (1) West of the Fourth Principal Meridian, Clark County from the U. S.
Government. Andrew was a member of the Presbyterian Church, The Grand Army of the
Republic (G. A. R.), and the W. R. C. In 1886, Shoop and his wife, Susan, built a
country store on the property, located along the stage line road, at the intersection of what
became Highway 73 and Miller Avenue. This was just south of Andrew Short's farm
where the first Shortville post office in Short's home had been and it became locally
known as "The Shortv! ille Corner Store". The Shoops owned the store for twenty years
and sold it in 1897 to Kittie Shaffer. Andrew retired in Neillsville where he died Feb. 25,
1903 at the age of seventy-three. Andrew Shoop's obituary says he died at his home
on the north side of Neillsville,Wi Feb 25,1903 at age 78. Funeral was held at the
Presbyterian Church,of which he was a member. The G.A.R. and W.R.C. will attend in a
body. Susana Shoop died June 26,1926 in Spokane Washington,having moved there to
be closer to her children about eighteen years before. She was 88 years 11 months and 15
days old at the time of her death.Which one of the children she lived with I do not know
as it was not stated in the obituary. Andre and Susana and their sons Andrew and Sam
are all buried at the Neillsville City Cemetery,Neillssville,Wi. Their son,Andrew was
born 28 March 1850 and died 24 July 1886. Olive b abt 3 July 1870 in
ChippewasFalls,died about1894,1895 married SAM SHOOP abt 1888 near
Greenwood,Wi" (Sam's grandson,Kenneth gave me the exact marriage date,17 Nov
1888.) Olive was the daughter of Louis Ozios b 1 Aug 1833 in Jean Baptist,De
Nicolet,Canada and Josephine Boisseau b 17 Dec 1848 Chippewa Falls? Prarie du Chien?
Since Sam Shoop had a gravemarker at Neilsville City Cemetery with no birth or death
dates I unknowingly assumed he was buried there. Upon further discussion with his
grandson,Kenneth Shoop I found I was incorrect..(See below) Their son Sam Shoop
married Olive Ozios abt 1890 near Greenwood,Wi From a Boudrea/Ozios internet site
comes the following information: ! "Olive b abt 3 July 1870 in ChippewasFalls,died
