Timeline

31 March 1878: Felix Gillis is born in Ottenburg, Brabant Wallon, Belgium to Geronimus Gillis and Joanna Maria Van Eyck.

12 September 1880: Felix arrives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA at the age of 1 year 6 months.

1 August 1905: Felix, at the age of 27, marries Elizabeth Grundhoeffer in Kewaunee, Kewaunee, Wisconsin, USA.

27 April 1931: Felix, at the age of 53 is placed on probation after police had several complaints of young people of high school age were securing liquor at Felix’s place in Brown County, Wisconsin, USA.

27 May 1931: “Felix Gillis, 1612 Willow St, sentenced to 60 days in the county jail in Police court for selling beverages without a license, will serve 90 days in the workhouse instead.

Some time ago, Gillis was brought into Municipal court on charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. He was released on probation on condition that he get out of the “soft drink” business and stay out. His arrest by the police constituted a violation of that probation, which was revoked Tuesday afternoon and he was sent to the workhouse. This sentence takes precedence over the 60-day term imposed in Police court, but it is expected that the two terms will be taken to run concurrently.”

2 January 1932: Felix is sentenced to jail in default of $100 fine.

2 February 1933: Felix passes away at the age of 54 in Green Bay, Brown County, Wisconsin, USA.
