Charles Alfred Carpenter
Charles was born to a family of "well means." He was of the aristocratic
type. His manners were polished and he received the best education one could
buy. He was a quiet soft spoken mild mannered man. When his father had an
accident which left him paralyzed in a wheel chair, Charles returned from
school to run the farm. He worked all day then worked late hours into the
night on the books. He became a very tired man. He supervised and assisted in
the farm work, its employees, the household employees, servants AND his
father's business.
Kathren Toal, who lived across the street was an employee of the Carpenter
household. A seamstress and house servant she was a very business minded
young woman who had a sharp mind for facts and figures. Her family had come
from Ireland and settled in Greece, NY in the mid 1800s on Gooseneck "College"
Alley. Charles overworked and over tired probably welcomed the help with his
business transactions, from his childhood friend (and maybe childhood
sweatheart?). And who knows what happened one night back in 1883. Maybe
hovering over the paperwork that was dimly lit with candlelight they leaned
closer and their eyes met, their cheeks touched that started a small kiss?
They were married in 1864 and the rest was history!

and

Name: Yawkey, Cyrus Carpenter Occupation: Pioneer Lumberman Background:
Cyrus Yawkey was born on August 29, 1862 in Chicago, the son of Samuel W. and Mary Uliaetta (Carpenter) Yawkey, natives of Massillon, Ohio. Cyrus received a liberal education at the schools of East Saginaw, Michigan, after which he attended the Michigan Military Academy at Orchard Lake, where he graduated in 1881. Upon leaving school he clerked for three years at a hardware store, and then became a member of the firm Yawkey & Corbyn in Saginaw.
Accomplishments:
Cyrus was married on October 13, 1887 in Ann Arbor, Michigan to Miss Alice M. Richardson, the daughter of Noah C. & Susanna (Turner) Richardson, both New York natives. Together, they had one daughter, Leigh. In 1888, Cyrus sold his interest in Yawkey & Corbyn and went, with his uncle, William C. Yawkey, and George W. Lee on a trip to purchase timber lands in Wisconsin. The trip was successful and the three men purchased both large tracts of timber and a promising mill site. The next year the three of them formed the Yawkey & Lee Lumber Company, and Cyrus moved to Wisconsin to oversee the construction of a mill on their site, which later became the village of Hazelhurst. In 1893, the Yawkey Lumber Company was incorporated and became one of the largest manufacturers of lumber, lath and shingles.
Credited as the leader of the Wausau Group, Yawkey was instrumental in the organization and development of Northwestern Life Insurance Company, Yawkey Lumber Company, Yawkey-Bissell Lumber Company, Wisconsin and Arkansas Lumber Company, Wausau Quartz Company, Globe Mining Company of Birmingham, Alabama, Marathon Paper Mills, Wisconsin Valley Electric Company, Wausau Paper Mills, and Employers Mutual Liability (later Wausau Insurance Companies).
During World War I, Cyrus Yawkey assisted in organizing a citizens' military training camp which became part of the Wisconsin National Guard and led to his promotion to Colonel. He served for many years on the county park board and his land and monetary gifts helped to establish Riverside Park, Yawkey Park, Dells of Eau Claire Park and Marathon Park.
Cyrus was a strong Republican and took much interest in the party’s business. He was chairman of the town of Hazelhurst since its inception and served as chairman of the county board from 1891-1894. In 1894 he was elected to the Wisconsin State Legislature.
Cyrus Carpenter Yawkey died on May 18, 1943. The house he lived in at the time of his death is now the museum of the Marathon County Historical Society. He is buried in Pine Grove Cemetery in Wausau, WI.
Alice M. Richardson
She was the daughter of Noah C. & Susanna (Turner) Richardson, both New York natives.

The original Mount Helix Park – the cross and the amphitheater – was finished in 1925, built as a result of cooperation between Frederick and Mary White, Cyrus Yawkey and Col. Ed Fletcher, who originally owned the summit.
By 1929, the Yawkey family had deeded the park to the county in a trust that protects the landmark. After legal challenges over the constitutionality of having the cross on public land, the county turned over the park to the Mount Helix Park Foundation in 1999, which now maintains the park without public funding.
Cyrus Yawkey's great-granddaughter, Alice W. Smith, recently traveled from her summer home in Wisconsin to attend the foundation's annual fundraiser. She is a member of the foundation's board of directors – along with Eric Fletcher, a descendant of Col. Fletcher. We recently had a conversation with Smith.
QUESTION: Is your family still connected to the San Diego region?
ANSWER: Actually, none of my family, except my great-great-grandmother and her daughter, my great-grandmother, have ties to the area. My great-grandfather's sister came here with her husband, Fred White, and her brother and mother followed.
They became great friends with the Fletchers, who were neighbors. Mary Carpenter Yawkey loved to go to the top of the mountain and sit and enjoy the solitude. The area was very different then; there was nothing in the surrounding areas.
Do you remember your great-grandmother?
She died when I was 5, but I do remember her. I remember her as very tiny and very kind. When you went to her house, she had all these wonderful old toys we could play with. I remember an old rocking chair and how she tried to teach me needlepoint. One of my most cherished possessions is a music box she gave me for my fifth birthday. After she died, we lived in her house.
When did you become involved with the park foundation?
I saw it for the first time on the 75th anniversary in 2000. Four people from my family came for it. I knew about the controversy over the cross and that the foundation had taken it over. They invited us and we said, 'What the heck, let's go see it.' Once I met the people and saw how much they care and how committed they are, I just felt they deserve all the help they can get.
So you began to learn about the park only after the park foundation contacted you?
It's been fun for me. I was just looking at some pictures of my great-grandfather and his mother when they lived at 225 Upas St. And there's a wonderful video of them building the amphitheater, of horses hauling stone for it and how it was constructed.
I've learned so much about this part of my family and how close they were – just as we are now.
What does the park mean to your family?
My great-grandfather thought this was one of his finest achievements. He wrote that in a journal. He considered Mount Helix one of the best things he did in his lifetime. There aren't many places in the world you can escape and look out on those incredible vistas.
To be able to think I can walk up there and know my great-great-grandmother walked up there and I'm looking at places she looked at. It's a great feeling to walk in her footsteps – even if the vistas have changed.
Their friendship with the Fletchers was a great friendship, a lifelong cherished friendship.
And to know that anyone who wants the peace and solitude can come here and enjoy this beautiful park means a lot to me. It's the nicest legacy I could have.
Now you serve on the board with Eric Fletcher?
He's a great guy and it means a lot to know our families were so close long ago. I really look forward to spending time with him and the rest of the board when I come.
It's really out of the way for you!
I'll come every time they hold this event for two reasons. One, anyone who visits Mount Helix Park becomes aware of what a wonderful place it is and it should be preserved. And the family connections. It's a memorial to a mother, to my great-great-grandmother, what a wonderful thing, and a tribute to the friendship between the Yawkeys and the Fletchers. I feel lucky to be part of this legacy.
Where is the extended Yawkey family?
We were raised in Ft. Lauderdale and summered in Wisconsin, where my grandmother founded the Wausau Art Museum.
It looks like your family is active in charitable work everywhere you go.
My family is contributing to the park foundation. It's not megabucks but we do what we can.
And we support the art museum in Wausau – there's a big event every September and we all come together from all over the world. We've always been a close family.
My great-grandmother's house has been restored and is part of the Marathon Historic Trust, and we're also involved with the local food pantry and the YMCA.
