GLENN SHIMEK Single Car Crash Kills Cato Motorist Glen Shimek Victim; Slams Into Abutment Fatal Accident Occurs In Area Of Menchalville MENCHALVILLE – A 19 year old vacationing college student met death in an automobile accident early Monday while driving home from the residence of his girl friend. The victim, Glenn J. Shimek of Rt. 2, Cato, suffered fatal head injuries when the car he was driving alone slammed nearly head-on into a bridge abutment one mile west of this unincorporated village on County Highway K at about 1:45 a.m. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Shimek. Dr. Theodore Teitgen, county coroner, said Shimek was coming from the home of his girl friend, Susan Glaeser, who lives in Reedsville. He was a student at Wisconsin State University, Stevens Point but had been employed for the summer months at Mirro Aluminum Co., Manitowoc. County Authorities theorized that Shimek fell asleep at the wheel. The eastbound car crossed the center of the roadway onto the north shoulder, police said, and traveled the shoulder for a considerable distance before striking the bridge abutment. Saw Wrecked Auto A few minutes later a car driven by 19 year old John L. Schiesl of Rt. 1, Whitelaw, was involved in a separate accident at the scene of the fatal crash. Schiesl said he observed a deer in the right ditch and then glanced back to the roadway where he saw a wrecked auto in the left lane against the abutment. In avoiding the wreckage he sideswiped a warning sign and the right side of the bridge. His car finally went broadside into the left ditch, the report indicated, but was not damaged extensively. Shimek was the 16th person to die in a traffic accident in Manitowoc County so far during 1969. There were 10 killed at this point a year ago. Shimek was born March 12, 1950, at Kellnersville. He attended St. Joseph Parochial School in the village and was graduated from Reedsville High School in 1968. He currently was a sophomore at Wisconsin State University, Stevens Point.

ANNA SIMEK AGED WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH NEAR BRANCH SUNDAY KELLNERSVILLE WOMAN, 76, USED OIL, START FIRE Mrs. Matt Shimek Is Victim of Tragedy While On Visit Alone in the home of her daughter with whom she had been visiting Mrs. Mattew Shimek, an aged Kellnersville woman, met a tragic death Sunday evening on the farm of Adolph Shoulak, near Branch, when her clothing caught fire and she was literally burned alive. Efforts to save Mrs. Shimek made by members of the family who returned to the house to find the aged woman a burning torch, proved futile. Mrs. Shimek, who made her home with her son Frank Shimek at Kellnersville, had been visiting her daughter Mrs. Shoulak and was in the house alone last evening while the members of the family were doing the day's chores and milking in the barn. When members of the family returned to the house, they discovered Mrs. Shimek with her clothing in flames, the fire enveloping her entire body, she having been unable to save herself because of her age and enfeebled condition. Carpets and rugs were hurriedly thrown about the unfortunate woman but it was too late to save her, the flesh having been burned so severely that death resulted in a few minutes. Used Kerosene On Fire In just what manner the tragedy occurred will probably not be known but it is believed that Mrs. Shimek had used kerosene to start a fire in the kitchen stove. Owing to her advanced age and feebleness she had been warned against starting a fire and stove wood which had been in the kitchen, had been carried outside. When the members of the family returned to the house, however, it was found that the wood had again been brought into the kitchen and a fire was burning. It is said that Mrs. Shimek had been repeatedly warned to leave the fire alone as it was feared that an accident would happen. Flesh Badly Burned The flesh on one side of the body was terribly burned and the shock caused the death of the aged victim. A son of Mrs. Shoulak was the first to reach the house and gave the alarm, summoning his parents. Mrs. Shimek, who was a pioneer resident of the county, was 76 years of age and made her home with her son at Kellnersville. She is survived by seven sons and two daughters, they being Frank, of Kellnersville; Matthew of Menchalsville; Adolph, Milwaukee; John and Peter of Rockwood; Jacob of Milladore; Rev. Emil Shimek, of Tisch Mills; Mrs. John Hodek, of Saxon; Mrs. Adolph Shoulak, of Branch. Two step children, Joseph Shimek and Mrs. Albert Holachek, of Kellnersville also survive. Report of the tragic death of Mrs. Shimek was made to District Atty. Brady and Coroner Kemper but it is not expected that an inquest will be called. The funeral of Mrs. Shimek will be held from the home of her daughter, Mrs. Shoulak, at Branch, Wednesday morning. Manitowoc Herald News Monday, May 22, 1922 pg. 1

Braun officiating, Thursday morning at 10 o'clock. Mr. Shimek's death was due to infirmities of age. Mr. Shimek was one of the earliest settlers of Manitowoc, having come here in the forties and for 68 years he had made his home here, witnessing the development of the county from a wilderness to one of the best agricultural districts in the northwest. He had contributed his share to this work and was well and favorably known, and universally respected. Born in Bohemia in 1825, Mr. Shimek came to America as a young man of 21 and immediately settled in this county where he was for many years and up to the time of his retirement, because of his age, prominent as a farmer. When the civil war broke out Mr. Shimek enlisted in the Union ranks and served for two years and nine months, being honorably discharged. Returning to Kellnersville he again resumed farming.

JIRI SLEGER RELATIVES CARE FOR HIM George Schlaeger Didn't Like Life at State Sanitarium Relatives in the Town of Franklin will care for George Schlaeger, a city charge who, committed to the state sanitarium for tuberculosis patients at Wales, refused to remain because he was denied certain privileges, including it is said, beer. Schlaeger returned to this city a week ago and but for the action of relatives in taking him to the country, he would probably have been prosecuted and returned to the sanitarium. Schlaeger's family consisting of wife and five children, reside in the second ward and city officiates consider it unwise to permit him to remain with the children who attend school and will insist that he return to Wales should he come back to the city. Schlaeger came her from Franklin and was aided by relatives so that he could remain in the city a year when he became a charge of the city. The county board allowed the city a claim for aid to Schlaeger two years ago but refused to do so last year. If Schlaeger returns to the city his case will be taken up by the authorities but if he remains away, the family will be aided. ManitowocDaily Herald - Dec. 14 13, 1907 ******** COUNTY HAS ITS FIRST PATIENT Would send George Slaeger, A City Charge to State Tuberculosis Hospital COUNTY TO PAY CHARGES Slaeger Will be One of the First Patients Received- Is City Charge – New Sanitarium Opened Tuesday George Slaeger, a Second Ward resident of the city and at present a poor charge, will be the first Manitowoc County patient to be committed to the state tuberculosis sanitarium at Wales, Waukesha County and will probably be taken to the sanitarium within a few days. Request has been made to the state department by the probate court office for the necessary blanks for filing of the application and as soon as these are received Slaeger can be committed. Under the new law, Slaeger's care at the sanitarium will be a charge against the county, which however, can recover from the city the same as in poor cases. Slaeger, who is 42 years of age and father of a family, is suffering from an advanced case of tuberculosis and has been unable to work and with his family has been given an allowance from the city poor funds. The city will probably be forced to continue to aid the family in support of the mother and children. Slaeger will probably be among the very first patients to be admitted to the sanitarium which has just been completed by the state at a cost of $125,000 and was formerly opened Tuesday. Dr. Paul of New York is superintendent and the state allows $25,000 yearly for maintenance. The sanitarium consists of an administration building, a dining hall, laundry, cold storage, power plant and a superintendent residence, all built of concrete and eight frame structures for the reception of the patients, each with a lodging capacity for sixteen patients. Treatment at the sanitarium will consist of open air and stuffed feeding. The patients will sleep in rooms which can be thrown open and will be kept open winter and summer. These rooms are in the eight frame buildings. In each building is a central apartment which will be heated and provided with bath and toilets The stuffed feeding consists in feeding the patients six or seven times a day with milk, eggs and other nutricous foods. The patient will all eat in the main dining room which will seat 172. No drugs will be used in the treatment unless absolutely necessary. The sanitarium is beautifully located on Government Hill near Wales in Waukesha County and the buildings are all on the south side of the hill away from the chilling north blasts. The intention is to make a specialty of the incipient stages of the disease and it is believed the treatment outlined will aid in stopping the ravages of the white plague in Wisconsin.Patients may be admitted upon application of any physician but it is expected that application will be made through the probate office as the county must contribute to support of the patients.

TOMAS SUSTA Cooperstown News: Thomas Shusta, an old citizen of this place, died last Thursday, and was buried on Saturday at Kellnersville. He was the peer of an honest man, and was respected by all except a misfortunate few whose minds were probably clouded by that mist of weakness which the fervent heat of reason can alone dispel. But let those who have been justly or unjustly accused of traducing the man, and those maligners who have maliciously caricatured him bury the invidious past in oblivion and learn in the light of the present age, that no man can pluck from the chain of nature one single link or reverse for one moment one of nature's laws.

MARY SWETLIK (d. 1925) Grieves Over Loss Of Babe, Ends Her Life Francis Creek Woman Seeks Solace Of Death In A Cistern Despondency caused by grief over the death of her infant babe early in January is believed to have been responsible for the death of Mrs. Wenzil Swetlik of Francis Creek whose dead body was found by her husband in a cistern at the farm home two miles from the village shortly after 7 o;clock this morning when Mr. Swetlik returned from the creamery nearby after an absence of forty minutes. Mr. Swetlik succeeded in extricating the body but efforts of Dr. V. Kellner, Maribel to resuscitate the woman were futile. Mrs. Swetlik was 40 years of age. Coroner W.G. Kemper, who was called, said that the death was plainly a case of suicide. Mr. Swetlik had removed the covering which was nailed over the cistern and had removed a second covering of loose boards to permit getting into the cistern, the opening of which was small and scarcely more than sufficient to admit her body. Health Had Improved Mrs. Swetlik had been despondent since the death of her child in January but during the past two month had appeared to be improving and was cheerful this morning when Mr. Swetlik left home to take the milk to the creamery, expecting that his wife would go to Kellnersville where it had been her practice to attend church regularly every Saturday morning. Upon returning home he discovered the covering to the cistern torn up and immediately investigated fearing the worst. His fears were realized when he found the body. Mrs. Swetlik had been dead for some time when found and had evidently proceeded to carry out a prearranged plan of death soon after her husband departed from home. Native of Cooperstown On a previous occasion it is reported that Mrs. Swetlik had removed the cover from the cistern but was prevented from carrying out her suicide intention by the discovery of her plan. She had recently visited at Milwaukee where it is said she had suffered an attack of melancholia. Mrs. Swetlik was formerly Mary Albrecht of Cooperstown and had been married for fourteen years. She is survived by her husband and one son, aged 7. A brother Frank Albrecht of Cooperstown also survives. No inquest will be held. Manitowoc Herald News Saturday, August 1, 1925 pg. 2 ******** Doubt That Death Was Due To Suicide Funeral services for Mrs. Wencel Swetlik, who met death in a cistern at the home at Francis Creek were held from the home. Notwithstanding the possibility that the death was due to suicide, relatives are inclined to believe that Mrs. Swetlik suffered a sudden attack while removing boards from the cistern to secure water and that the death was accidental. It is stated by the family that reports of a previous attempt at suicide by Mrs. Swetlik are untrue. Manitowoc Herald News Thursday, August 6, 1925 pg. 1

Mr. Swetlik, who was 42 years of age and who was well known throughout the section of the county, where he resided, was at Kellnersville with his family to attend services at the Catholic Church. He had entered Wachal saloon to arrange for the care of his team during his stay and had just approached the bar and was conversing with a friend when he suddenly gasped for breath and fell to the floor dead. Those in the place rushed to his assistance and efforts were made to revive him but it was found that death had ensued instantly. The death of Mr. Sweltik came as the end to more than a year of failing health. For months the decedent had been afflicted with heart trouble and though his condition at no time was serious enough to force him to bed, he had been under care of physicians for a year and had feared that his death would be sudden. Of late, his condition was thought to have improved and the family was more at ease and had anticipated an early recovery. The sudden death is a terrible shock. Mr. Swetlik is survived by a widow and family of four children, the oldest 17 years of age. An aged mother, past eighty also survives and there are four brothers and two sisters who will mourn his demise.

Four months ago, on the occasion of a visit to the city, he had his will drawn and the document was submitted to Probate Judge Chloupek for advice as to the legality of the paper, and at that time, Mr. Swetlik told Judge Chloupek that he feared that his death would be sudden and unexpected.

VICTOR SWETLIK KOSSUTH MAN ENDS LIFE WITH GUN SWETLIK DIES AFTER A VISIT OF DETECTIVE Questioned About Escapade Before He Borrowed Gun And Killed Self Probably worried over a visit made to him by Detective Frank Tomchek of the local police force in which the officer questioned him regarding a New Year's Eve escapade in this city, Victor Swetlik, 22 year old town of Kossuth youth ended his life Tuesday night in the barn at his father's farm. He place a gun against his heart and pulled the trigger. His lifeless body was discovered early this morning by his father, Steven Swetlik, when the latter went to the barn on the farm, three miles west of Francis Creek to do the morning chores. Young Swetlik had borrowed the shotgun to end his life from his chum, Edward Polifka, when the two parted at the latter's home at 9:30 p.m. Tuesday. He gave as an excuse that he wanted to “kill a dog on the farm that was no good.” Called to the scene of the tragedy, Coroner Gerald Rau of Two Rivers said that the circumstances indicated suicide and decided that there would be no inquest. Examination of the body disclosed that death had been instantaneous. Officers Visited Him Detective Tomchek and Officer William Herman visited Swetlik on his father's farm Tuesday afternoon and questioned him regarding the throwing of missiles through a North Seventh street home here last Saturday night. Swetlik denied all knowledge of this matter. Then came the matter of Swetlik's previous record in Manitowoc. He told the detective his story and the latter said he would go back and check up on it. “I may be back to see you in a couple of days,” was the parting word of the detective to Swetlik as the two officers left the farm. The suicide occurred at the end of an evening spent together by Victor Swetlik and Edward Polifka. Polifka told the coroner this morning that Swetlik gave no hint in his actions or conversations last night that he intended to end his life. He had been gay and cheerful, Polifka said. Was Given Gun At 10 p.m., according to Polifka, Swetlik said he would return to his home, and asked Polifka for the use of a shotgun. Polifka got the gun, which contained one shell, and brought it out to Swetlik. The latter then disappeared down the road toward the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Steven Swetlik. That was the last seen of him alive. It is believed that Swetlik entered the barn and setting the gun stock on the floor, raised his leather jacket and place the muzzle directly over the heart. Then he pulled the trigger. The charge entered his chest on the left side. Body On Floor When the elder Swetlik arose this morning to proceed to the barn to do the morning chores, he found that the latch on one of the outside barn doors had been left open. Entering the door he stumbled upon the dead body of his son on the barn floor. It is believed that Swetlik took his life between 10 and 11 o'clock Tuesday night. The body of the dead youth was removed to a Kellnersville undertaking parlor and the funeral arrangements, while not completed, indicated that burial would take place from Kellnersville. Besides his parents, the deceased is survived by one sister, Mrs. Dan Krueger, and two brothers, all residents of the county.

The recovery of the two bodies ended a search for a week that has been under way by the parents, and county authorities, started Monday morning when the pair failed to return to the homes of their parents, residing on a rural route out of Maribel. And the two youths will be buried in cemeteries near Maribel on the same day, next Monday. Wanek will be buried from Kellnersville at 10 in the morning. The funeral of Martin Luedtke will be in the afternoon at Maribel. Come Here Together Pieced together, the information gained from the parents of the young men and from their companions disclosed that while Luedtke and Wanek did not go to Polifka's last Saturday night together, they came on to Manitowoc later in the evening in Wanek's Ford coupe. Here the pair progressed to a dance in progress at Weber's hall on Washington street, where Wanek, proud in the possession of a new $40 accordion, sat in with the orchestra there and played for the dance until it broke up at three Sunday morning. It was then that the pair started on their fatal ride. The recovery of the bodies of the two young men in the river here was a shock to the parents of both. They figured that the boys had gone off on a trip and would be heard from most any time. But the fact that there was only about $3 or $4 between them in actual cash caused apprehension of something serious having happened to them as the days went on with no word. Find First Clues First definite clue that the car and the bodies came when Policeman Chas. Novak and Deputies Anton and James Novy from the sheriff's office, struck an object in the river bottom at the foot of South Ninth street shortly before two yesterday afternoon. Novy, working about the object with a pike pole, brought up a bit of stuffing or padding usually found in the top of a coupe. This resulted in Sheriff Carstens ordering up the big derrick scow of the Antonsen Co. from the foot of South Sixth street. By this time the news had spread throughout the city and it was estimated that when the scow in tow of the gasoline tug reached the scene shortly after three o'clock, there was a crowd of 1,000 people lining the docks on both sides of the river and seeking vantage points on the White Swan and other craft in the vicinity. The hooks were dropped into the river near the dock and soon hooked the car. It was raised to the surface but the hooks failed to hold and it dropped back to the bottom. But enough was seen to make certain that it was the Wanek coupe. Only One Body In Car In the next try the hooks held and soon extra chains were fastened to the car through the upper frames, as all the windows in the coupe were broken. As the car was raised to the surface again, wheels first, the body of Wanek was in the car, slumped over the steering wheel. But Luedtke was missing. The body was taken from the car and placed on the dock and then the car raised higher and swung over on the large derrick scow. The scow was moved out a bit from the dock and drags secured to search for the Luedtke body. Shortly before five o'clock, Policeman Novak with his drag caught the trouser leg of the Luedtke lad, and pulled him to the surface. And not until then did the crowd move away from the scene. Neither body was badly bloated or marked up in any way. Reconstruct Last Ride Authorities today were able to reconstruct the story of just what took place. Last Saturday night was the coldest of the present winter. The thermometer dropped to 13 below zero. During the hours that the Wanek coupe was parked near the Weber parlors on Washington street, it is presumed that all the windows frosted up badly. Wanek and Luedtke, starting on their return journey, went east on Washington street to go over Eighth street bridge, and misjudged the distance, turning south on Ninth street in the belief that they were on Eighth street. At the dead end of the street, there is a warning light near the North Western spur track, a street light near the water's edge with a big white and black striped "Stop" warning board. In addition, the bow of the steamer White Swan, moored at the Oriental dock for the winter, sticks out to beyond the middle of the __. Wanek, it is figured, was coming along at a good speed with the windshield badly frosted when the big stop sign loomed in front of him. He probably swung the wheel sharply to the left to avoid striking the sign and the car swept over the dock, clearing the nose of the White Swan, and a large steel mooring chain, and plunged into the river, overturning as it did so, and landing on the bottom, wheels up. Wanek probably died behind the wheel. Whether Luedtke broke free through the top of the coupe after it struck the water is not known. His body may have worked free from the coupe days after the fatal crash. With the bodies recovered and turned over to undertakers, the work of the rescuers was over. The scow was taken back down the river and the Wanek coupe was placed on the dock and later removed to the Huppert garage. Wanek's Father Here Frank Wanek of Maribel accompanied by friends was in the city yesterday, and two hours before the discovery of the car and the bodies, was in the Herald-News office, expressing the word that some hope from his son and Luedtke would be heard. The parents of the Luedtke boy at Maribel were notified at once of the finding of the body of their son. The two young men are members of youths in the vicinity of Maribel who have been in the habit of meeting often. It was such a gathering that was arranged for last Saturday night, with Wanek the principal figure by reason of the fact that Sunday was his twenty-first birthday. When the birthday festivities at Polifka's Corners did not turn out as expected, a shift to Manitowoc was decided on. Wanek, an only son, had for years been a musician and played the accordion. Only a few weeks ago his parents presented him with a new instrument. He took it with him last Saturday night to aid in the birthday festivities. And so when he and Luedtke reached the dance here, he took his accordion into the hall and joined in with the orchestra playing there until the "good night" waltz was played. Complete Funeral Arrangements The body of Marvin Luedtke was taken to the Wattawa, Urbanek and Schlei Funeral parlors. It will be removed to the home on route 1, Maribel, Sunday, where it may be viewed up to the time of the funeral. The youth was seventeen years of age, and after completing the grade school, worked with his father on the farm. Besides the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Luedtke, four brothers, Ervin of this city, Raymond and Leroy at Green Bay, and Clarence at home, and one sister, Elfrieda, at home, survive. Funeral services will be held Monday afternoon at one o'clock from the home and at two o'clock from the St. John's Lutheran church in Maribel. Mrs. Luedtke has been an invalid for years and a shock from her son's death is feared. The remains of Leo Wanek were removed to the Emil Husar undertaking parlors at Kellnersville and will be taken to the home tomorrow. The parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wanek, are the sole survivors. Funeral services will be held at 10 o'clock Monday morning from the St. Joseph church at Kellnersville. Recovery of the two bodies late yesterday afternoon relieved the strain that the parents and friends of the young men have been under the past several days. Even this morning there was a throng of the idle curious gathered at the dock at the foot of South Ninth street where the Wanek car made the fatal plunge in the early morning hours of last Sunday's 13-below-zero weather.

Manitowoc Herald Times, Saturday, November 4, 1950 ********* LOSS IS NEARLY $3000 Frank Wanish Is Heavy Loser by The Kellnersville Fire 200 PEOPLE FIGHT FLAMES Wonder Is That Entire Village Was Not Wiped Out- Three Hours to Control Flames Fully 200 people fought the flames at the Kellnersville fire Saturday and that the entire village was not wiped out is due to the combined efforts made. Scarcely a building but what was scorched by the flames and many were saved only by greatest exertions. The fire was discovered about ten o'clock in the morning in the barn of Frank Wanish, which is situated in the very heart of the village. Fortunately there was no wind, otherwise it would have been impossible to check the flames and save the other buildings. The fire burned fiercely and it was evident from the first that the barn could not be saved and the fire fighters with the means at hand, devoted their exertions to preventing a spread of the flames. Four threshing crews and engines were on the scene and with force pumps and tanks which was invaluable. Every well in the vicinity was emptied and it was several hours before the danger was considered over. The dwelling house occupied by Wanish, which stands but a few rods from the barn caught fire, but the flames were extinguished before great damage was done. Three men who climbed the roof to quench the flames were badly burned about the face and hands and but for timely assistance might have fared worse. The loss which Mr. Wanish sustains is in the neighborhood of $3000. The fire totally destroyed the barn, granary, stables and pig styes, 2000 bushels of grain, one new McCormick binder, two feed cutters, one cutter, new and recently purchased, harnesses and other farming tools. Every family in the village had packed up, ready to move and at one time it seemed as if this would be necessary, so great was the danger which menaced the homes. It was 4 o'clock before the fire was under control. John Zahorik was quite severely burned while at work saving the home of a neighbor. The origin of the fire is unknown but it is thought to have been started by children who were playing in the vicinity of the barn a short time before the flames were discovered. Mr. Wanish carried some $900 insurance, but as this included the risk on his dwelling house, his loss will be nearly $2500. A Herald representative who visited the scene was much surprised that more buildings were not destroyed, so badly were many of them scorched. It is little short of miracle that the damage done was not greater.
