Gerhard, 69, was killed almost instantly Wednesday afternoon when his tractor overturned while he was plowing a field on his farm southwest of here.

FRANCES KATHERINE GNADT (Don't have newspaper name, 1924) Fatal Accident in Home of John Gnadt at St. Nazianz Friday Noon. The explosion of a gasoline tank at the home of John Gnadt in St. Nazianz at noon on Friday caused the death of two children, very serious injuries to their mother and severe burns to their father. The two little daughters, Leona 5, and Frances 3, were so badly burned that the oldest died two hours after the tragedy and the other six hours later. Mr. Gnadt brought from the basement of his home the gas tank of a gasoline stove which he wanted to take to the old mill, where a tractor school was being held. He was quite a distance from the stove when he shook the can to see if it was empty (which it was, with only a few drops in it). When shaking it Mr. Gnadt noticed a spark on the valve and he immediately tried to throw the can into the next room where nobody was, but it exploded before he got it out of his hand. A sheet of flame enveloped the room, and the two little girls who were near their father, where horribly burned and suffered terrible agony until death came. The mother, who was nearby, received the full force of the explosion and the flames seared the flesh off her face, hands and lower limbs. According to Dr. W.A. Rauch, who was called after the accident, her condition is still serious. The husband with his head a mass of burns and the hand that held the can charred badly led his screaming family from the house and rolled them in a snow bank until he had extinguished the flames. The report of the explosion was heard by neighbors who rushed to the Gnadt home and summonded help. Gnadt is 35 years of age, and his wife 33. They had seven children. The five living range in age from a year and a half to 12 years. The mother is still in ignorance of the fact that her two children are dead. She believes they are suffering from burns and confined in a bed in another room in the home. The explosion of the gasoline can wrecked the stove and the interior of the kitchen. Had the other children been in the kitchen at the time of the blast they would probably have met with the same fate as Leona and Frances, the neighbors assert. Mr. Gnadt is employed in the Miller hardware store at St. Nazianz and his home is in the village. The double funeral of the two little girls, victims of the explosion, was held on Monday from St. Gregory's church and was largely attended. The bodies were laid to rest in one grave.

He was born in 1869 in the town of Meeme, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Groh. Thirty-eight years ago he was married to Miss Barbara Koenig of St. Fidelis. Mr. Groh was a member of St. Gregory's church, of the Holy Name society, of the Catholic Knights, and of the Catholic Foresters. He was the proprietor of a general store at St. Nazianz for thirty-two years. He served as vice-president of the fire department and also as vice-president of the St. Nazianz State bank for many years. He resigned the latter position last month. Deceased is survived by his widow, four sons, Leo, Edward, William and Roland, two daughters, Miss Rose and Miss Helen, all of St. Nazianz, two brothers, Andrew of Kiel and Frank of Appleton, and two sisters, Mrs. Schwartz of Meeme, and Miss Margaret Groh of St. Nazianz. Funeral services will be held Monday morning at 9:30 from St. Gregory's church, and the Rev. Fintan Holzknecht will officiate. Burial will be made in the adjoining cemetery. ************ St. Nazianz news: Never in the history of this village, according to those who have spent their long lives here, has any laymen of this community been honored with a tribute comparable to that given to the memory of the late William C. Groh at his funeral yesterday morning and at the home of his family all day Sunday. The large church of St. Gregory was packed to its capacity by the host of relatives and friends from near and far who came to pay their respects to the deceased by attending the requiem mass celebrated there at 9:30 by Rev. Fintan Holzknecht, S.D.S., pastor of the local parish. And all day Sunday until late into the night the home was visited by crowds of friends and relatives who came to view the remains and to express their sympathy for the bereaved family. During the evening the members of the Catholic Foresters, the Catholic Knights and the Holy Name Society marched to the residence and those were joined by many others, all of whom joined in the prayers for the deceased. Likewise on Friday and Saturday evenings the residence could not accommodate all those who came to give evidence of the esteem in which Mr. Groh was held. Business Men Pay Touching Tribute. From the many firms with which Mr. Groh has dealt during the thirty- two years he conducted his general store here came convincing evidence of their admiration for him as a friend and as a business man. Many traveling men came in person and delivered messages of condolence from their employers and during their stay expressed their sympathy for the members of the family in a manner that could not be doubted. And the business men of the village who closed their places of business during the time of the funeral could not have found a better way of showing due appreciation of the excellent qualities possessed by their late fellow townsman nor could they have expressed better the sympathy that flows at such a time from a true Christian heart toward those who feel most keenly the pangs of the bereavement. From the evidence given by them during the past few days, it is very reasonable to expect that his neighbors and business associates will long remember Mr. Groh as a man of generous impulses, upright in all his dealings with his fellow men and a very worthy citizen. His more intimate friends and relatives, while admiring the good qualities which marked him before his fellow men as a good citizen will be more likely to cherish the most pleasing memories of him as the faithful husband, the loving father and the trustworthy friend. William C. Groh was born on a farm near Meeme, January 5, 1869, and most of his early life was spent in that vicinity. On May 21, 1895 he was united in marriage to Miss Barbara Koenig and they established their home on a farm near this place. About a year later they took possession of a general store in this village which was conducted very successfully under the personal direction of Mr. Groh from that time until the day of his sudden death. In addition to carrying on his business very successfully, he always took a keen personal interest in furthering any undertakings intended for the betterment of the community in a business way as well as socially. He served for several years as vice president and director of the St. Nazianz State Bank, a position which he resigned early this month. And as president of the local fire department he helped to carry to completion the plans which insure for this village adequate fire protection. As a member of the Catholic Foresters, the Catholic Knights of Wisconsin and of the Holy Name Society he took an active part in church and social affairs in and about the village. Mr. Groh is survived by his widow and their six children, four boys and two girls. Two of his sons, Leo and Edward are married and reside in this village, a third, William A., with his family live on their farm about a mile north of the village and the fourth son, and the two daughters, Rose and Helen are at home. In addition to those of the immediate family are four grandchildren, two brothers, Andrew Groh, residing about six miles west of this place and Frank Groh of Appleton and two sisters, Mrs. Peter Schwartz of Meeme and Miss Margaret Groh who has made her home here with her brother and his family. Services at Church. The remains were taken from the residence to St. Gregory’s church where a requiem mass was sung by Rev. Fintan Holzknecht, S.D.S. And at the close of the mass, he gave a short address in which he expressed his admiration for the good qualities of mind and heart that had been the possession of him whose remains were before him. In the sanctuary at the time were the following priests in addition to the celebrant: Rev. A.J. Gerhard of this village, Rev. Joseph Rauch of Jericho and Rev. Bernard Fath of St. Nicholas parish, Wilkers-Barre, Pa. At the close of the services the remains were interred in the adjoining church yard. Many From Other Places in Attendance.

WENDELIN GROSS St. Nazianz – On Saturday the funeral of Wendel Gross, better known at Schmidt Wendel, was held from St. Ambros church. He died at the convent of old age. Deceased was one of Father Oshwald’s men. He was 86 years old. Kiel Tri-County Record – June 18, 1925 ***** DEATH OF VENERABLE BRO. WENDELIN, BREAKS LAST LINK WITH PIONEERS With the death of the Ven. Brother Wendelin here on Friday morning of last week the last link was severed that formerly connected the Salvatorian Seminary with the band of intrepid and zealous pioneers who performed for so many years on the stage that they set for themselves in this vicinity. Their stage was the clearing made with their own hands in the wilderness and which by dint of much hard labor they expanded to considerable proportions during the few decades after the original band of pioneers established itself where this village now stands. That was in the year 1854 when Father Oschwald and his faithful followers began the task of clearing this stage for themselves and for the actors of another generation who have now succeeded them. Although Brother Wendelin Gross was not one of the original band of pioneers he was nevertheless, known as one of the “Old Brothers” who labored for years under the personal guidance of Father Oschwald. He came from Baden where he was born about 84 years ago, according to the reports of those who were associated with him intimately, for many years. His arrival here was a few years later than that of the company that was led by Father Oschwald, and he was welcomed into the circle of the religious family that was at that time well established and carrying on its labors in a manner that was winning for the community a lasting reputation for industry and piety. For years Brother Wendelin was the only blacksmith in the village, and when the Brothers removed to the seminary on the southern shore of the little lake, he was placed in charge of the shop that was opened there. Many of the newer generation still retain a pleasing mental picture of the aged blacksmith laboring at his forge. And it was not until the infirmities of advancing age compelled him to seek less strenuous tasks that the venerable Brother abandoned the forge and the other hard labors associated with it. Among the older members of the community and residents of the village, he is still remembered as one who led then in the strenuous tasks of harvest time. He was known as one of the most skillful among then in the handling of the old-fashioned cradle with which the early settlers harvested their grain. And they tell, also, of his remarkable feats of endurance in walking to the city of Manitowoc, a distance of about eighteen miles, carrying on his back heavy parts of farm equipment that had to be taken there for repairs. Unfortunately those old settlers, like the late venerable Brother, had little time for the writing of history to print. Otherwise what interesting reading would there be available if an accurate written record of their experiences had been kept. Their work was of a more strenuous nature requiring the exercise of patient endurance that would, no doubt, prove too severe for most of us of the present day and age. In and about the village of St. Nazianz and the Salvartorian College we find, however, the imprint left by workers of those days gone by. They laid well the foundations upon which now rests all that succeeding generations have built to contribute to their own pleasures and to the furthering of the great cause for which those early pioneers like the late Ven. Brother Wendelin labored. And now, as he has passed quietly to the rewards which he sought, we see the stage that knew him for so many years in the possession of the new generation. Funeral services for the deceased were held in the church of St. Ambrose at the college and interment made in the village cemetery, where the body of Brother Wendelin now rests side by side with those of his numerous associates, who preceded him to the Great Beyond.
