FRANZ SCHAD and MAGGIE SCHAD (ANNA MARGARET) nee LINCK MURDER AND SUICIDE A terrible tragedy was enacted on a farm near the village of St. Nazianz, this county, during Monday night of last week. Frank Schad, a prosperous young farmer, murdered his wife, after a terrible struggle, and then cut his own throat. That his wife made a desperate struggle for her life was evident from the confusion and disarrangement of things in the barn where her body was found. In the morning after the tragedy the little step-son of Schad on arising discovered in a room adjoining his own sleeping room the lifeless body of his step-father lying on the floor in a pool of blood, but his mother was no where in the house and he went to the barn in search of her. Here he found her gashed and bloody remains. After killing his wife Schad cut his own throat and then went to the house, leaving a trail of blood from the barn to the house. The terrible deed is said to be due to the insanity brought on by religious troubles. His wife had been divorced from a former husband and he was denied the sacraments of his church in consequence of his marrying such a woman. This troubled him so that his mind was upset. Two Rivers Chronicle, Tuesday, Mar. 27. 1900 front page ********* SCHAD WAS INSANE Cut His Wife's Throat While in a Frenzy and Then Committed Suicide. Manitowoc, Wis., March 21, [Special.] The verdict of the jury as rendered late yesterday afternoon in the terrible Schad tragedy was homicide and suicide committed by Frank Schad, a the result of temporary insanity. The terrible deed took place in the neighborhood of 12 o'clock Monday night. Mrs. Schad's first husband, Albert Hacker of Cato, was still living, and this fact prevented the young couple from living peaceably together any longer. It was therefore agreed between husband and wife to separate, and in accordance with this understanding Schad deeded all his property to his wife Monday afternoon. A son of Mrs. Schad by her first husband, who was staying with them, retired for the evening. Shad's father, who lives close by, came over for a brief visit, and found things apparently all right. Late that night he saw someone moving about with a lantern around Schad's house - it was Schad carrying out his horrible work. In the morning when the stepson arose he noticed blood-stains on the floor, and on entering Schad's bedroom the father found him dead, his throat cut from ear to ear. The boy, who is only 10 years old, hastened to his grandparents and gave the alarm. they soon found Mrs. Schad lying in an open shed some distance from the house with a horrible open gash cut from ear to ear, almost severing the head from the body. She was terrible hacked up and lay in a pool of her own blood. After his struggle with his wife, her death resulting, Schad moved toward the house and from all indications when about twenty rods away from his wife, at a spot where were found a large jack-knife and a razor, smeared with blood, attempted to take his own life by cutting his throat with the razor. From there the blood spots could be plainly traced to his bed chamber, he undoubtedly having dragged himself to the house, where he died. The evidence taken before the jury showed that about four years ago Schad showed signs of insanity and wandered about in an almost naked condition. Fears as to his sanity were again espressed but recently. Two Rivers Chronicle, Tuesday, Mar. 27, 1900 ******** MURDER AND SUIDICE There was a shocking double tragedy in Eaton last Monday night. Frank Schad Jr., a young farmer living near St. Nazianz, killed his wife by cutting her throat and then committed suicide by the same method. Mrs. Schad was a Mrs. Hacker but was divorced from her first husband some years ago, and about two years and a half ago married Mr. Schad. Mrs. Schad had one son by her former husband, George Hacker, who lived with them on the farm. The couple lived together amicably, and Schad's father who owns the adjoining farm says they never had any domestic trouble of any kind. The young man was never strong mentally and allowed small matters to worry him almost to desperation. About six years back he took an interest in a manufacturing concern and business reverses caused the loss of all the money he invested. This preyed upon him so that he was for some time irresponsible and occasionally even violent. Again last summer he got into a business controversy with a neighbor over some farm machinery, and before getting it settled showed that he was unbalanced, at least temporarily. The immediate cause of the murder was probably worrying over church matters. Both he and his wife were Catholics, but since their marriage they had been refused confession by the parish priest on account of the woman's having been divorced. This worked upon Schad's mind until he was in a state of suppressed frenzy, and he decided that the only way to get relief was to arrange a separation from his wife so that he could again enjoy the privileges of the church. Accordingly they came to an understanding last Monday by which Mrs. Schad took a conveyance to her of all her husband's property, and agreed that she would no longer look to him for support, while he intended to leave and start out in life afresh. The arrangements were made in a friendly way, and they started to drive home together. Schad got out on the way for some reason and the woman went on to the house alone. About 10 o'clock that night neighbors saw a lantern moving in the direction of the Schad barn but gave it no concern. Tuesday morning the boy George Hacker awoke at about half past six and found the house cold and no one astir. As this was unusual he immediately went downstairs, where he found his stepfather lying on a pile of bed-clothes on the floor, dead and covered with blood. Horrified he at once sought his mother, and soon found her body in the barn with the throat cut. He then ran over to the house of Schad's father and told his story. Neighbors immediately gathered and the sheriff, district attorney and coroner were sent for. The barn, yard and house presented a sickening sight. Schad had evidently driven his wife into the barn, cornered her and then attacked her with a razor. There were evidences of a struggle, the straw being matted and the man's body showing scratches on the face and hands There was a butcher knife found here, but it was not spotted with blood and was probably not used by either one There were five distinct gashes in the woman's throat, one of them going completely through to the spinal column. The murderer's trail could be easily followed by the blood stains from the barn to a gate leading into the fields. Here there were three large pools of blood, a new jack-knife recently bought for the boy George and a razor, both weapons covered with blood. Apparently it was here that Schad made the first, or at least the principal attack upon himself. Having drawn the razor cleanly across his throat he dropped it and the jack-knife and after losing much blood started for the house. He got into the bedroom and probably tried to get on the bed, but only succeeded in grasping the blankets and pulling them partly to the floor, where he died. When Sheriff Lehrmann, Dist. Atty. Schmitz and Coroner Luhman arrived, a jury was impaneled and testimony taken. The jury found that the woman came to her death by a wound inflicted by a sharp instrument in the hands of her husband while he was temporarily insane, and that while in the same condition by the same instrument he had killed himself.

JOSEPH SCHIEGG Struck by Limb, Injury Is Fatal Joseph Schiegg, 42 year old Liberty farmer, died Sunday morning of injuries sustained in a Friday afternoon wood cutting mishap. Schiegg suffered a compression fracture of the skull when a tree limb crashed down on him as he was cutting wood with a party of farmers on the Arnold Lemke farm, located about a half mile west of the Liberty church. A power saw was used to fell a large tree in the woods. As the tree went down it brushed against a limb on a neighboring tree, knocking it loose and sending it down on the injured man. Dr. Edgar Huth of Valders was called and ordered the Meihsner ambulance to rush Schiegg to Holy Family hospital. The critically injured man died in the hospital 40 hours later. Mr. Schiegg was born in Germany in 1906. In 1928 he came to America and worked as a farm hand on Liberty farms. After his marriage to the former Catherine Berger in 1940, the couple settled on a Liberty farm. Survivors, besides the wife, are five children, the oldest being 9 years.

JOSEPH SCHULTZ (d. 1928) St. Nazianz news: With the passing of Joseph Schultz, whose funeral Mass was read this morning at the St. Ambrose church at the Salvatorian Seminary, this community lost a character whose wanderings over the face of the earth would furnish material for a very interesting volume. But Mr. Schultz who made his home for the past twenty years or thereabouts at the seminary and who passed away on Wednesday at the Holy Family hospital, Manitowoc, was not given to recounting his experiences, except in fragmentary recitals and none of his associates ever received a connected story of his life. For about thirty years he lived more or less regularly at the local seminary, but during the early part of that period he was absent for several months at a time. During the last twenty years he has lived and worked very steadily at the seminary, until about two years ago when his health gradually failed and he was forced to abandon his labors. About three weeks ago his condition became so serious that the Fathers took him to the Holy Family hospital at Manitowoc. Since that time his condition gradually became worse and he passed away very peacefully on Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Schultz was born in Poland 77 years go. During his early manhood he worked with various construction enterprises in Alaska, the Western States of this country and in different sections of Central and South America as well as in various countries of Europe. He was an expert mason and in that capacity he assisted in railroad construction work in those different parts of the world. In his travels he acquired a speaking knowledge of five or six different languages and he was able, therefore to make his way readily and find employment in almost any corner of the globe. As far as his old associates here are aware, Mr. Schultz had no relatives in this country, he being the only member of the family who wandered from the old home in Poland. At the conclusion of the Mass this morning the remains were taken to the village and interred in the cemetery adjoining St. Gregory’s church.

CLARISSA SCHUSTER Infant Daughter at St. Nazianz is Dead of Poisoning St. Nazianz – Gladys Schuster, 20-month-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Max Schuster, died here yesterday of strychnine poisoning, after taking sugar-coated pills from the cupboard while her mother was outdoors. The pills were those used by Mrs. Schuster for medicine. This is the second instance of a similar nature within this section in a week. A week ago, Floyd Youmans, 4-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Milton Youmans of Greenbush died after taking pills that had been prescribed for his mother. Mrs. Schuster was busy outdoors, and the baby, toddling around the house, found her way to the pantry, where she found a box containing the pills. It is not known how many she took, but when her mother returned to the house, she was confronted by the pathetic sight of her baby in convulsions. A physician was called, but before he arrived, the poison had taken effect. Besides her parents, the baby is survived by two sisters, Rosmilda, aged 4, and Dorothy, aged six months, and a brother, Lawrence, aged three years. Funeral services will be held at St. Nazianz at 9 a.m. Thursday with burial in the St. Nazianz cemetery.
