FRANK JERABEK (d. 1938) FARMER'S BODY FOUND BY SON Coroner Declares Frank Jerabek Died Of Heart Attack Dr. Gerald Rau, Two rivers, county coroner, said today that Frank Jerabek, 73, found dead on the cement steps of his home on Cato route 2, a mile south of Menchalville last night, died of a heart attack. Dr. Rau, District Attorney John R. Cashman and Sheriff Norman Berkaedal were called to the Jerab ek farm shortly after the man's son, Joseph, found the body. There were marks on the face and chest and mud on his head and clothing. At first it was feared he had been beaten. Investigation showed, however, that he had gone to a woodlot down a lane to the west of the farm yesterday afternoon and apparently suffered an attack there. Dr. Rau said footsteps on the lane tended to show that Jerabek attempted to get back to the farm and suffered several strokes along the way, falling a number of times on the lane. Joseph Jerabek said that his father did not return to the farm for supper but that he was not concerned about it at the time. His brother Frank, he said, was not at home and after supper he too left the farm for a time. Dr. Rau said that apparently Jerabek made his way to the farm house during the time his sons were gone and suffered a final stroke halfway up the steps. Mr. Jerabek had been in good health during the day. He was born in Bohemia, July 10, 1865, and was brought to this country by his parents when he was four years old. They settled near Grimms. His wife, whose maiden name was Barbara Sauer, died in October, 1937. He is survived by two sons, Joe and Frank, both at home, and two daughters, Mrs. Frank Wotruba and Mrs. George Massman, both of Manitowoc, and one brother, Joseph, Reedsville. The body was taken to the Husar undertaking parlors at Kellnersville.

Kabila and His Wife Die on Same Day at Kellnersville DOUBLE FUNERAL HELD ON TUESDAY Life long companions, man and wife for forty years or more, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Kabila, pioneer residents of Kellnersville were not long separated by death which came to the two within a few hours Sunday, Mrs. Kubila dying early Sunday morning from an attack of paralysis and Mr. Kubila following her death during the day. The two will be buried in the same grave at Kellnersville tomorrow, one funeral service being held for the two. Mr. and Mrs. Kubila have been residents of Kellnersville for many years, residing on a farm and lately they had made their home with their one son, Frank Kubila, who survives them. Mr. Kubila had been ill for three months, suffering from rheumatism and a complication of diseases which gave no hope for recovery. His wife had been in constant attendance upon him and worn and tired and with her advanced age, she fell easy prey when attacked by a stroke of paralysis Sunday morning. The announcement of the death of his wife proved a shock which undoubtedly hastened the death of Mr. Kubila who expired a few hours later. During the three months' illness of her husband, Mrs. Kubila had insisted upon caring for him and though his condition had not been considered immediately dangerous, it was known that their was small chance that he could survive and the devoted wife, enfeebled by age and with the heavy burden of worry and sorrow gave way and when the attack came she failed to survive the shock and death resulted within a short time. Mr. Kubila, who came to Manitowoc County in his youth was 72 years of age and his wife was 61 at the time of death. The couple is survived by but one child, a son, Frank, who is one of the well known farmers of the county residing near Kellnersville. Mr. and Mrs. Kubila were widely known throughout the northern part of the county and Two Rivers. The funeral tomorrow will be held from the home of Frank Kubila and will be large attended. Burial will be at Kellnersville where one grave will be provided for the two bodies. Manitowoc Daily Herald - Mon., Mar. 20, 1911

The truck with which the car collided is owned by the Independent Brewery and was driven by Gotthard Zelman, 49, of 1515 W. Atkinson Avenue, Milwaukee. Skull Fracture Both Keehan and Daley were hurled through the windshield. Physicians at Milwaukee County Emergency hospital said Keehan's skull was fractured. He lived only a short time after the accident and was identified through letters he carried in his pocket. Dr. E.C. Cary of Reedsville was notified and he, in turn, relayed the news to Keehan's brother, Lawrence, who left immediately for Milwaukee. Daley suffered head and internal injuries and multiple cuts. Keehan and Daley made the trip to Milwaukee to take Michael J. Keehan, cousin of James and father-in-law of Daley, to St. Joseph's hospital. They left Kellnersville yesterday morning at 7 o'clock. The accident occurred on the return trip on what is familiarly termed the “graveyard curve” because of other fatal crashes there. After crashing into the truck, the light automobile rebounded 50 feet. Keehan was born in the Town of Franklin March 14, 1889, son of the late Matthew Keehan. Since the death of their father, James and Lawrence have been operating the homestead farm for their mother. James was a member of the Kellnersville Fire Department. He was also a member of the Holy Name society of St. Joseph's church, Kellnersville. Funeral Thursday Surviving relatives are his mother, two brothers, Lawrence on the homestead and John of Milwaukee, and one sister, Mrs. Edwin Brady of Osman.

MICHAEL KELLNER Death on Mon. morning after a long illness with stomach cancer, of Michael Kellner, a well-known and respected resident of this county. He was born in Neumark, Bohemia, and came to America about 40 yrs. ago. He moved directly here and has operated a store and served as postmaster in Kellersville the entire time. The funeral yesterday was heavily attended. Der Nord Westen, 25 Sept. 1890 ******** From the Files of the Pilot – Twenty-Five Years ago (1890) Death of Michael Kellner Michael Kellner of Kellnersville, died on Monday morning of this week. He was taken sick with the influenza so prevalent last winter and never fully recovered his health. But he bore up with that surprising energy which marked the entire course of hs life. When he took to his bed, all knew life was drawiing to its close as it was not his nature to surrender while a chance was left. He was born in Neumark, Bohemia, Nov. 16, 1823. He came to this country while a young man and settled in Canada where he worked at a trade, that of a tanner. His ambition was to become a farmer and after he earned some money he came to Milwaukee nd soon pushed his way to Manitowoc. He began his search for land and penetrated the forest until he reached the western line of Kossuth. The magnificent plane of timberland in that section soon determined his choice and he purchased a large quantity. This was in 1846 and he soon after built a dwelling house on the land he bought. The indomnitable pluck of the man was shown by the trips he made from Kossuth to Milwaukee and back, on foot, with only an Indian trail to follow for a portion of the way. It was often the writer's priveledge to hear the old gentleman talk of these early experiences, thrilling in many of their features. After settling in Kossuth, he worked for some time in Green Bay and usually walked home on Saturday evenings, returning to his work on Monday morning. He started a little tannery of his own in Kossuth but soon after abandoned it and started a small store. His business grew but as his cares multiplied, he also grew in performance. With no help but that of his wife, he conducted a business extraordinary for two persons to manage. For years, Mr. Kellner was constantly on the road from early morn until night after which he gave attention to his store and mill. The man seemed to be as tireless as if made of iron. He laid the foundation for the magnificent business which is now managed by Kellner's sons. He was a genial man, true to his friends, and never oppressed by a sense of the wealth he accumulated by untiring industry and business sagacity. No man was richer in early reminescence than he and no man loved to dwell in the old times more. His funeral took place yesterday and a large number of people from this city were present.

MICHAEL KELLNER (d. 1924) M. KELLNER PASSES AWAY AT MILWAUKEE Former Kellnersville Merchant Will Be Buried Here Michael Kellner, Sr., former Kellnersville man, died at 1 o'clock this morning at the home of his son, Michael, Jr., at Milwaukee where he had been making his home for the last two years.

The funeral will be held Thursday morning at 9 o'clock with services at Sacred Heart church and burial will be made at Kellnersville. Mr. Kellner was for many years engaged in business at Kellnersville, where with his brother he succeeded his father in ownership and management of a mercantile establishment, hotel and large farm was widely known throughout the county and the family for many years was the center of social and business life of Kellnersville. In later years at Kellnersville, Mr. Kellner turned the management of the business over to his son until retirement of the firm two years ago. Born in County Born and reared in Manitowoc County, Mr. Kellner who was 65 at his death, had always made his home here. He was born February 20, 1859 and was married shortly after reaching his majority to Miss Rose Groessel, who preceded him in death about twelve years ago. Surviving him are five sons, Michael Jr. of Milwaukee, Querin, Edward, Victor and John of this county and two daughters, Mrs. Clara Klassenbach of Muscatine Iowa, and Mrs. Clarence Sutter of Burlington, Iowa. One brother, John of this city and four sisters, Mrs. William Scholten of this city, Mrs. Mary Wilharms of Appleton, Mrs. Julie Gross and Mrs. Querin Hessel of Escanaba, Mich., and a number of grandchildren also survive. Mr. Kellner's death is the second in the family within a short time, a brother, William having died in this city three weeks ago. Deceased was a member of the local Knights of Columbus. "Mike" Kellner, as he was familiarly known to hosts of Manitowoc county people and who had an acquaintance over the state, enjoyed a personal popularity that misfortune could not take from him and his death will bring regret to many who knew him. Manitowoc Herald-News, Tues, 10 Jun 1924 ******** KELLNERS PART Announcement was made last week of a split of the business interests of M. Kellner and Sons Company. The city business long managed by John Kellner was taken over by him and the interests at Kellnersville, go to Michael Kellner, who has had charge of them for many years. John's share is said to include 120 acres of the expensive farm land holdings near Kellnersville. The business was founded before the Civil War by the late Michael Kellner and grew to include a tavern, a large general store, grist mill, machinery and implement dealing, a 500 acre farm on which blooded stock was bred, all at Kellnersville and a flour and feed store and real estate holdings at Manitowoc. The place at Kellnersville was a trading place and center for a large territory during the decade when the county round was being developed and the business grew into about the largest of its kind in the county. Under the new conditions brought by the automobile and later by prohibition the business held its own and changed to meet the new conditions. “Kellner” was a word to conjure with a pioneer days and it has yet to lose its magic with the third generation largely in control.

Manitowoc Herald Times Monday, December 20, 1943 pg. 2 ******** RECALLS PIONEER EXPERIENCE Not often these days does one hear tales of the pioneer life experienced by the aged men or women who with their parents and grandparents aided the building from a woodland to the farm communities and cities that are now known as Manitowoc County. Many of these early experiences, so unlike those of the present, could be learned from Mrs. Margaret Kocian, who today is celebrating her 75th anniversary at her old farm home at Menchelville. A resident of the county since she came her from Bohemia at the age of three years, Mrs. Kocian can tell of the loneliness of her family who had very few neighbors, most of them Indians, when they arrived to make a large farm out of forest land. “Maybe you have heard the custom years ago to pass a loaf of bread around the circle of visitor?” she asks when telling of pioneer life. “Every guest would cut a slice from the loaf with the knife that would be passed with it. One of our Indian guests didn't know about this custom and took both the loaf and knife away when my grandmother passed them to him.” she recounted. As unexpected as his departure with them was, so was his return a few days later with the knife. Being neighborly with other white folks who had settled nearby was somewhat difficult for the other families, the Robinsons and the Haydens, spoke English and Mrs. Kocian's family knew only the Bohemian tongue. She tells in a spirit of humor, of the time that a neighbor woman brought four little pigs as a gift and explained with an improvised sign language that the little porkers would have to be fed with milk. Mrs. Kocian, nee Decker, was born in Bohemia, Jan. 16, 1857 and was married to Matthew Kocian in this county 54 years ago. Mr. Kocian passed away ten years ago. To them was born nine children, eight of whom are still living. One daughter, Mrs. Harry DeYoung and five sons, Matthew, John, Joseph, Lawrence and Frank live at Menchelville. Another daughter, Mrs. Mike Reedy lives in Manitowoc at 1818 Clermont St., and the youngest son, Charles lives near Oconto. All but Charles were with her for the birthday celebration today. Mrs. Kocian makes her home on a small portion of the farmland that was occupied by her parents and grandparents more than 70 years ago, but her farm is considerably improved over the floorless shanty with one window pane that she occupied as a child.

FRANK KOPIDLANSKY (d. 1922) FIREMAN OVERCOME BY SMOKE; DIES FIREMAN DIES AS HE FIGHTS KORLESKY BLAZE Frank Kopidlansky Overcome By Smoke In Market Overcome by smoke while fighting a fire at the meat market, grocery store and residence of John Korlesky, 2205 Marshall street, at midnight, Frank Kopidlansky, a member of the truck company of No. 1 station, died from the effects without regaining consciousness. With other members of the company Kopidlansky responded to the alarm and went into the smoke filled room to relieve on of the other men. He wore his mask and was fully dressed and equipped for fighting fire. Later he was missed and when the men searched for him he was found lying on the floor in the room. He was carried out and first aid measures applied. The pulmotor was pressed into service but the smoke had done its work. Death was due to suffocation. Fire Due To Wires Crossed The fire at the Korlesky place was due to an electric light wire running into the place became crossed with a power current wire. The fire started in a closet on the second floor where the switches are located. The fire alarm and telephone system were out of order necessitating a trip to station No. 2 to turn in the alarm and the delay give the blaze a big start. When the department arrived on the scene they found the house and store filled with a heavy smoke. Hose lines were laid and the men entered the building to fight the flames. Kopidlansky relieved a man who was handling one of the hose lines and according to the report of Chief Kurtz, was apparently in good condition to fight the fire when he went into the building. His helmet was properly adjusted and no trouble was expected. The men fought the blaze for about an hour before it was brought under control and it was some little time after Kopidlansky had relieved the other man before it was discovered that he was missing. Search was made and he was found unconscious in smoke filled room. He was carried out but failed to survive his experience. When found his helmet was still perfectly adjusted. No one knows just when the man was overcome and how long he lay in the room before the rescuers arrived. Two other members of the department were overcome but suffered no ill effects from their experience. Damage at the Korlesky store is considerable but is as much due to smoke and water as it is to the blaze itself. The loss is partially covered by insurance. Was A New Man Frank Kopidlansky joined the local fire department in January and is one of the new members who were added when the double platoon system was inaugurated. He was born in the town of Cato and on February 18 celebrated his thirty third birthday anniversary. He came to the city in November. Mr. Kopidlansky is an ex-service man having been with the Black Hawk division overseas. He was a volunteer and left a school at Chicago where he was studying to become a monk to join the army. He had owned an eight acre farm near Taus but disposed of this to his brother Albert at a price said to have been $2000, enough to make possible his course at the Chicago school, a Bohemian institution. Then came the war and Kopidlansky left school to answer his country's call. Following his discharge he returned to the old home at Taus where he was employed until he came to the city. Surviving Family He is survived by four sisters, Mrs. Barbara Krummel, Mrs. Louis Sauer, Mrs. Frank Weber and Miss Mary and two brothers, Frank and Albert, all of whom make their home at Taus. The funeral arrangements have not been completed but he will be buried at Kellnersville with service at St. Joseph's Catholic church. Mayor Georgenson today when asked whether there would be an investigation of the death of Fireman Kopidlansky said that if information is filed and future developments warrants such an investigation it would be made. Manitowoc Herald News Thursday, February 23, 1922 pg. 1 ******** FUNERAL OF KOPIDLANSKY HELD TODAY The funeral of Frank Kopidlansky, city fireman who was overcome by smoke and died at the Korlesky fire, was held at Kellnersville this morning with services at St. Joseph's Catholic church and burial at the Kellnersville cemetery. Capt. J. Kuploic, Capt. Anton Dulik, John Peterik, Allen Walker, Herbert Gehrike and Mark Allan, members of the department, acted as pal bearers. Manitowoc Herald News, Monday, February 27, 1922 P. 3 ******** CITY MUST PAY SISTER John Kopidlausky, a city fireman was taken dead from a smoke-filled house in the Seventh Ward last March where he had been working with the department in extinguishing a fire. He apparently had died from suffocation and there were murmurings of contemplated investigations of alleged negligence, but nothing came of it. The matter of compensation came up before the state industrial commission and a hearing was held here about three weeks ago. The claimant was a sister of the fireman and the city depended on two principal defenses: first, that the fireman died of heart disease and not as a result of dangers occurring in the line of his duty; and second, that the petitioner, his sister, was not dependent upon her brother in the sense contemplated by the law. Either one would be a sufficient defense if established, but the commission last week found against the city on both. They apparently gave but scant consideration to the theory that a firemen who two or three weeks before had passed a rigid physical examination by the city physicians for admission to the department, had succumbed to heart disease when all the circumstances pointed to suffocation. As to dependency, the commission found that the petitioner is totally incapacitated by tuberculosis and had been for some time entirely supported by the fireman and concluded that the fact that she had other brothers and sisters did not effect her total dependence on the fireman. The city is now required to pay the sister, $5,300 and rumors are that the city before trial spurned an offer for settlement for a minor fraction of that sum. Manitowoc Pilot - Thurs.,, Nov. 30, 1922

The funeral will be held Wednesday morning with services at the Catholic church at Kellnersville, Rev. Rous officiating. Kupsh, who was eighteen at his last birthday, May 3, had been employed in the pocketbook factory at West Bend and with Robert Michels, a West Bend boy, started Saturday afternoon for Chicago in Michel's car. They had passed through Milwaukee and were on Highway 41 in the town of Caledonia, Racine county, when they were forced off the road. The car was turned over and Kupsh was instantly killed. Michels, who was driving, was so seriously injured that he is still in critical condition in the hospital at Racine. He is unable to explain exactly what did happen. Notify Parents. The police of Racine telephoned the local department and asked that relatives of Kupsh in this city be notified and they in turn notify the parents at Menchalsville. Members of the family drove to Racine Sunday morning and made arrangements for the return of the body. They failed to learn all of the details of the accident and were told that the matter of an inquest and other details had all been arranged for. They visited the Michels boy who is about 19, at the hospital, but were unable to learn anything more than that the boys had been crowded off the road. Michels had lost control of the machine and the car tipped over. Kupsh's injuries were to the head and he probably suffered a skull fracture. Born at Menchalsville, Charles Kupsh attended school at Maple Grove and after graduating attended the Lincoln high school in this city, graduating last June.
