JOSEF BILY

USES SHOT GUN TO END HIS LIFE
Joseph Bily, Menchalville Farmer, Blows Off Top of Head to Die
TOLD WIFE OF HIS PLAN
Woman Followed Him to Barn But too Late to Interfere and Save Him From Rash Act - No Cause For Deed is Known
Telling his wife of his intention and evading her attempt to defeat his purpose, Joseph Bily, a farmer at Menchalville, in the north part of the county, committed suicide Monday, using a double barreled shot gun to accomplish the act. Reports of the tragedy reached here in request that was made to the district attorney to hold an inquest on the body which was permitted to remain in the barn, which was the scene of the deed, for eighteen hours without any effort being made to care for the corpse.
From reports to the authorities, it is believed that the suicide was premeditated and that Bily had planned the deed for some time. Bily, who was 30 years of age and married with one child, was employed by James Reedy and made his home on a farm owned by Reedy. Monday morning at 10 o'clock, when Reedy was absent from home, Bily took one of the teams from the farm and left the place, driving about the county all day. No one appears to know where he was, though he was seen at several places. He remained away all day and until late in the evening, when he drove the team to the farm which he occupied instead of to Reedy's place.  After returning home, Bily, who appeared in his usual spirits and right mind, entered the house and declared his intention of ending his life, telling his wife that he was about to commit suicide. A double barreled shot gun, which hung on the wall, was taken down by Bily and examined and with this weapon, he left the house, making his way directly to the barn. Mrs. Bily, who followed her husband at once had almost reached the barn when she heard the explosion of the gun and as she entered the building, was greeting by the ghastly sight of the dead body, a portion of the head blown away. Bily had used the shot gun to end his life and the execution was terrible, the top of the head having been completely blown away, brains scattered on the barn floor and the walls bespattered with blood, etc.  Neighbors who came to the assistance of the family in response to cries of Mrs. Bily covered the body to leave it for the inquest which it was expected would be held. District Attorney Kelley was notified of the case but did not deem an inquest necessary but the request of the family and friends may be granted and the inquiry held.
No cause for the suicide is known to the widow and friends, it being said that the family relations were pleasant and that Bily had no reason to be troubled at financial matters. It is believed possible that the man may have been unbalanced mentally though he had given no sign of this and appeared, up to Monday to be in the best of health and spirits. The funeral will be held at Menchalville.  Bily had trouble before his marriage which occurred in this city five years ago after he had been placed under arrest and was held on a criminal charge. He was arrested December 30, 1902 and was released after the marriage the next day. He was an industrious farmer and a hard worker and the family appeared to be happy and the suicide is a mystery to friends.

PAYS DEBTS, THEN ENDS LIFE
Jos. Biely, Franklin Farmer, Commits Suicide Last Night While Despondent
FAMILY TROUBLE; CAUSE
Goes to Adjoining Towns Yesterday and Pays His Bills Before Committing Deed - No Inquest Held
First making a trip about the neighborhood to Menchalsville, Wayside, Taus and other places paying his bills and settling up his accounts and telling all that he met that he intended to commit cuicide, purchasing a brand new shot gun at Froschs at Wayside last week, Joseph Biely, aged 33 years, a farmer residing northwest of Menchalsville in the Town of Franklin last night committed cuicide by shooting himself through the head, in the barn on the farm where he was living.  His wife and family, hearing the sound of the shot ran out of the farm house and to the barn, only to find their husband and father lying on the barn floor, dead, with the murderous shot gun lying at his side.
Despondency and family troubles are believed to have been the cause of the suicide. Biely having told neighbors that he intended to do away with himself. That the suicide was premeditated is shown by the fact that the dead man visited all the surrounding places where he owed money yesterday and settled up. He attended to all the little details about the farm before ending his life, even to putting up the horses and watering the stock and then proceeded to get the gun to blow out his brains.
The records of the probate court throw a little more light on the suicide mystery. In 1902, Jos. Biely was arrested on complaint of Anna Rous, and brought before County Judge Chloupek. Before the case proceeded, however, he consented to marry the woman and the proceedings were dropped. 
Jos. Biely is a son of the Mr. and Mrs. Martin Biely, prominent residents of Menchalsville. He lived on a farm owned by James Reidy working the farm for the owner. For several weeks Biely has been despondent and made no secret of the fact that he intended to commit suicide. But his neighbors and family believed that he did not mean it.  Last week he went to Frosch's at Wayside and purchased a brand new gun, taking the weapon home with him. Yesterday Biely hitched up and drove to Taus, Wayside and Menchalsville, calling at several stories and paying several small bills outstanding against him, telling the astonished storekeepers that he intended to end his life. He called on Jos. Zahorik at Taus and told him that he was going to kill himself, at the same time paying a bill. He then proceeded to his home late last night.
Biely put the horses up in the barn, watered the stock, did several other chores about the place and then went into the house, securing the shot gun. He went directly to the barn and committed the act. The report aroused his wife and three children and they found the dead body on the barn floor.
Dist. Atty. Kelley was notified but decided that an inquest was not necessary. The body will be buried at Menchalsville.

SUCIDE AT MENCHALVILLE
Jos. Bily who lived on a farm, owned by James Reedy, near Menchalville in the town of Franklin, committed suicide Monday by blowing off the top of his head. He entered the house Monday evening and informed his wife of his intention to end his life. He got the gun and went to the barn. His wife followed him but just before she reached the barn he had sent the bullet through his head and his brains were scattered on the floor when she entered the barn.
Why he committed the rash act is a mystery, as it is said the couple had no family troubles whatever. It is believed that his mind was unbalanced a the time. District Attorney Kelly was notified who after heaving the facts decided that there was no necessity for holding an inquest. Mr. Bily was 30 years of age. The couple had one child.

KENNETH BLAHNIK

FORMER COUNTY RESIDENT KILLED
Breaks Neck In Car Crash
GREEN BAY-Kenneth Blahnik, 23, a native of Manitowoc 
County, was instantly killed at 5:45 p.m. Wednesday when his 
car crashed through a guard rail on Highways 29-32 about two 
miles west of here.
His neck was broken as his car plunged through the gurad rail on a 
road leading to Pamperin Park, flipped over and slid 25 feet down an 
embankment to another road below.
Blahnik and his family resided at 1189 Military Ave.  He was on his 
way to a golf course where he had a part-time job.
Toll Now 441
His death and that of three Eau Claire County persons early Thursday 
morning raised Wisconsin's 1962 traffic toll to 441, compared with 
433 on this date last year.
The other victims were Gary Bauch, 18, Ron Feuling, 17, and Ernest 
Giebel, 65, all of Augusta and this area.  Injured when the car struck 
trees at Augusta were Kanren Kromery, 18, of Fall Creek and James 
Brown Jr., 21 of Augusta.  They were reported in good condition at

racing with another auto toward Augusta from an outlying tavern 
when it left a curve on Highway 27 and struck three large trees in 
front of the high school.
Driver Held
Bauch was on leave from military service in Germany.  The driver 
of the other car, an 18 year old Augusta youth, was being held 
pending an investigation.
Andrew Kucziauskas, 77, was injured fatally Wednesday night when 
struck by a car at a Sheboygan intersection.  Authorities said the 
vehicle did not stop after hitting the pedestrian.  The incident occurred 
some twelve hours after Sheboygan was given an award for pedestrian 
safety in 1961.
Blahnik was born Aug. 13, 1933 at Kellnersville, son of Clarence 
and Julia Decker Blahnik of Kellnersville.  He attended St. Joseph

DEATH OF REV. BRAUN
Young Clergyman, Native of  Stevens Point, Dies Very Unexpectedly at Kellnersville, Wis.
A telephone message received by Rev. H. J. Ehr last Friday night announced the death at Kellnersville, Manitowoc County of Rev. William R. Braun, a native of Stevens Point and who spent his boyhood days here. Local friends were unaware of an illness, therefore the news of his death caused profound grief and sorrow. It has since been learned that the reverend gentleman was laid up for five days with pneumonia, but his condition did not become alarming until shortly before the end. 
He was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. John Braun who were esteemed residents of this city for many years prior to the removal of the Wisconsin Central shop to N. Fond du Lac. Born here 34 years ago, William attended St. Joseph's parochial school until he was twelve or fourteen years of age and then enrolled as a student at St. Francis Theological Seminary near Milwaukee. He was ordained to the priesthood by the late Bishop J.J. Fox on June 18th, 1908 and offered up his first mass at St. Joseph's church the following Sunday. This auspicious occasion was graced by the attendance of many clergymen form various parts of the state besides a number of other friends of the young priest.
His life's work was started under very favorable conditions and even during the short space of time that he acted as spiritual guide he had become recognized as one of the ablest clergymen in the Green Bay diocese. Besides a ready command of perfect English, he was equally well versed in the German and Bohemian tongues. While never forgetting the dignity of his vocation, Father Braun was none of the less full of jolly good nature and was the life of any company.
Ever since his ordination then years ago he had been stationed in eastern Wisconsin part of the time at Fish Creek, Door County bit for the past several years at Kellnersville. Since going to the latter place his congregation built a large and handsome church and also erected a modern parsonage. They were ready and anxious to carry out any request or suggestion made by their pastor for whom they had infinite love and respect.
The people of Kellnersville grieve for Father Braun almost as much as do the heart broken parents in the loss of their only child.
The Gazette, Stevens Point, Wis.   Oct. 9, 1918

Notes from Kellnersville
Rev. Father William R. Braun, pastor of St. Joseph's Catholic Church at this place, died Friday night of pneumonia after a five days' illness. Father Casey of Maple Grove and Father Pufahl of Whitelaw were with him when the end came.
Rev. Braun, who was a native of Stevens Point was ordained to the priesthood at St. Francis about ten years ago and his labor for the church since that time has been in Manitowoc County. His first charge was at Francis Creek, where he was pastor of St. Ann's church for three years. From Francis Creek, Father Braun was transferred to Kellnersville as pastor of St. Joseph's Church and for seven years he had been in charge here. An energetic worker, Father Braun launched a movement for the erection of a new church and the handsome edifice completed by St. Joseph's Congregation two years ago is a monument to his efforts. A new parsonage was also completed under Father Braun,s direction.
Although one of the young priests of the church, being only 36 years old, Father Braun was widely known throughout the Green Bay Diocese and was one of the most popular priests of this section of the state. He was a very popular priest and his untimely death is regretted by his parishioners. Rev. Braun is survived by his parents, who are residents of North Fond du Lac. The funeral was held Tuesday and over a thousand people attended. There were fifty-six priests at the funeral.

MARY BRUNNER

MANITOWOC CO. WOMAN ENDS LIFE, APPLETON
Whitelaw Woman Cut Throat With A Razor
Despondent because of ill health and believed to have been temporarily unbalanced, 
Mary Brunner, former Whitelaw woman, committed suicide in unusual manner at 
Appleton where she had been visiting during the holidays.  Miss Brunner crawled 
under the porch of the home of friends where she had been a guest and using a razor, 
cut her throat.  The body was found some time later when search was made for the 
missing woman.
Miss Brunner, with her sister, had been visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas 
Salm at Appleton and Tuesday morning left the house about 10;30 without wraps and 
with no word as to where she was going.  Her failure to return led to a search instituted 
by members of the family and an hour later the body, lying in a pool of blood,k was 
found under the porch where the woman had crawled to carry out her purpose.
Ill For Some Time 
For some time Miss Brunner had been in ill health and on the morning of the tragedy 
had complained of more serious illness, although she was up and about and assisted 
with the housework.  The finding of the dead body was a great shock to members of the 
Salm family and to the sister of Miss Brunner.
Funeral at Whitelaw
The body was taken to Whitelaw yesterday and funeral services will be held tomorrow.  
Miss Brunner was 54 years of age and was well known at Whitelaw.  She is survived 
by relatives there.

Manitowoc Pilot, Thursday, September 4, 1890 P. 3
*******
The mystery attending the suicide of Bridget Carroll of Franklin has not yet been cleared up. 
The girl seemed to be in good spirits a few minutes before committing the rash deed. She 
requested her father to get some fuel with which to prepare supper and while he was absent 
she shot herself through the heart. She used a shot gun for the purpose, placing the muzzle at 
her breast and springing the trigger with a stick which she held in her hand. She left a note for 
her father which she pinned to the wall telling him that she did not wish to live any longer.

DORIS M. CHERNEY

Doris M. Cherney, age 84, of rural Whitelaw, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, was called by God on Monday, November 28, 2016, peacefully in her home with family by her side.
Doris was born August 20, 1932, in the town of Franklin, daughter of the late Frank and Eleanor (Stransky) Muench, their 2nd of three daughters. She attended St. Joseph's grade school in Kellnersville.
She married her best friend from grade school and soul mate, Lester Cherney, on October 20, 1953 at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Kellnersville. They returned to his homestead to raise their family and begin their blessed life together. They were best friends, card mates, dancing and fishing partners. They traveled together for Lester's work and made many friends along the way. After Lester's passing on February 25, 2007, Doris missed him every day. They are now reunited in the arms of the Lord.
Anyone who knew Doris, knew of her commitment to family, faith in Our Father, and her love of the world around her. As a mother, she took great pride in raising her family. Each child has fond memories of baking, fishing, card playing, crafts, and sewing. As a grandmother, Doris had such pride for her grandkids. She was often found cheering along the sidelines for sporting events, or in attendance of school activities. The family treasured annual events such as Easter egg hunts on the farmstead and fishing trips to Minnesota.
Doris's two most important jobs were that of a homemaker and a secretary for Lester's insurance agency. However, throughout the years, she had several other jobs. She worked at Mirro, was a CNA for several nursing homes, worked in food service at St. Norbert College and Equity lunch room.
Over the years, she volunteered her time for groups such as the Rosary Society, Homemakers Club, St. Joseph's Home School Association, Tuesday Ladies Club, and the Friends of the Branch River. However, her talent that was enjoyed by the most people was her baking ability. She took delight in making and sharing kolaches, sweet rolls, pies, and all kinds of other treats.
Her life will forever be cherished in the lives of her children: Linda (Jeff) Delaney, Muskego; Patricia (John) Kiekhaefer, Morrison; Kenneth Cherney, Reedsville; Sandra Puyleart, Green Bay and her fiance; Andy Ofsdahl; Kevin (Christine) Cherney, De Pere. Doris loved spending time with her fifteen grandchildren: Devin Delaney and his fiance, Tiffany Davis, Michael (Christine) Delaney, Patrick Delaney, Erin (Nate) Schipper, Matthew (Nichole) Kiekhaefer, Kristin Kiekhaefer, Nathan Kiekhaefer, Jennifer Bink, Heather Cherney, Derrick Cherney, Travis Puyleart and his fiance: Meghan Lockery, Tracy Puyleart and her special friend: Brian Dummer, Lukas Cherney, Benjamin Cherney, Samuel Cherney; eight great-grandchildren: Lucas, Amalee, Ethan, Adalyn, Ivy, Skylar, Jasmine, Loretta. Doris is further survived by her one sister: Germaine Kvitek, Mishicot; one sister-in-law: Esther Pleuss, Manitowoc; her loving cat: Snickers, nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents: Frank and Eleanor Muench; her loving husband: Lester Cherney; one sister and three brothers-in-law: Marlene (John) Kvitek; Joseph Kvitek, Sr.; Victor Cherney.
Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, December 2, 2016 at St. Joseph Catholic Church, Kellnersville. Rev. David Pleier will celebrate the Mass of Christian Burial with burial to follow in the parish cemetery. Relatives and friends may call at the Reinbold & Pfeffer Family Funeral Home, 1124 Main Street, Kellnersville on Thursday from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. and again on Friday at the church from 9:30 a.m. until the time of services at 11:00 a.m. There will be a prayer service led by Sr. Gerri Krautkramer on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. Online condolences may be expressed at www.jensreinboldandpfeffer.com
The family would like to thank everyone that helped mom feel comfortable in her final days. She fought a tough battle against breast cancer on and off for over 31 years. Special thanks and appreciation to the doctors, nurses and staff of Green Bay Oncology and all caregivers of Heartland Hospice.

LESTER CHERNEY

Lester J. Cherney, age 73, devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, was called by God quickly, dying unexpectedly at his home in rural Kellnersville, on Sunday, Feb. 25, 2007.

He was on the Wisconsin Association of Mutual Insurance Companies board for six years and served as president in 1999. 
Lester's presence in our community was felt by everyone; he was well respected by all. He was a proud member of the Friends of the Branch River. He played his clarinet at numerous events for the past 45 years in the Wayside-Morrison Band. He was proud to hand each of his children a diploma from Reedsville High School, where he served as a board member for 30 years, 18 years as president.

As a husband, Lester fulfilled his vows by being Doris' support in good times and in bad, through sickness and health. They were best friends, card mates, and fishing partners, throughout his life. As a Dad, he took great pride in raising his family. Each child has fond memories of fishing trips, hunting, snowmobiling, cutting wood, and road trips with Dad while he made insurance calls. As a grandpa, he instilled a love of life in each one of his grandchildren. He was each grandchild's number one fan at their sporting events. He demonstrated patience while teaching them to fish, hunt and catch crayfish. The grandkids always anticipated Easter egg hunts, buggy rides to the river, helping grandpa harvest the garden, and tasting his "gourmet" foods. 
Survivors include his wife, Doris of rural Kellnersville; his five children and their spouses, Linda (Jeff) Delaney of Muskego; Patricia (John) Kiekhaefer of Morrison; Ken (Lynne) Cherney of Reedsville; Sandra (Richard) Puyleart of Green Bay; Kevin (Christine) Cherney of De Pere; 15 grandchildren: Devin, Michael and Patrick Delaney; Erin, Matthew, Kristin and Nathan Kiekhaefer; Jennifer (Tim) Bink; Heather and Derrick Cherney; Travis and Tracy Puyleart; Luke, Ben and Sam Cherney; one great-grandchild: Skyler; two sisters-in-law and one brother-in-law: Esther Pleuss of Manitowoc; Germaine Kvitek of Mishicot; John Kvitek of Denmark; nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends survive.

MATT DECKER (d. 1912)

FOOT AND LEG TORN FROM BOY'S BODY - HE DIES
Matthew Decker, Franklin Youth Terribly Injured in Accident and Fails to Survive
With his foot and leg torn from his body, weakened by loss of much blood and from the shock of the terrible accident, Matthew Decker, a town of Franklin boy died at the Holy Family Hospital in the city early this morning after a night of agony. The boy was 18 years old and a son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Decker, prominent residents of Franklin.
Caught in the belting and drawn upon the fly wheel of an engine he was operating on the farm of his father, young Decker's left leg was literally torn from the body before the engine could be stopped. The left foot and leg below the knee was torn off and the injured boy was thought to be dead when picked up by others at work with him. Decker was hurried to the hospital in the city after his injuries had been given what attention was possible and every effort was made to save the boy's life, but without avail, death coming at 5 o'clock this morning after a night of agonizing pain for the injured boy.
The accident which caused the death of Decker was one of the most terrible which has happened in the county in years. The boy suffered the loss of a large quantity of blood before medical attention could be given and this coupled with the shock made it impossible to save his life. Physicians at the hospital gave no hope that the boy could survive when he was brought here after the accident though every effort was made to save him.
The dead youth was well known at this city, having attended the local high school last year. For a time, he was employed at the Williams House and made his home in the city for several months while completing his studies. He returned to his father's farm during the summer and was engaged in helping with work on the farm when he met with the fatal accident.
Decker is survived by his parents and brothers and sisters. The body was taken to Franklin today and burial will probably be held Sunday from the late home. The young man was one of the most popular boys of the town and his untimely death is a great shock.

Weakened by the inroads of pneumonia and the infirmities of his seventy-two 
years of life, together with a sudden stroke, Peter Denor, for more than fifty

KELLNERSVILLE'S OLDEST SETTLER DIES SUDDENLY AT AGE OF NEARLY A CENTURY. 
SON IS 75
John Fiet, the oldest settler of Kellnersville and probably the oldest 
living resident of the county, died suddenly at the home of his son 
there today, a victim of heart failure. Mr. Fiet, who had he lived three 
months more, would have celebrated the centennial anniversary of his 
birth, being 99 years and nine months old at the time of his death, 
suffered the fatal attack early this morning. 
Despite his advanced age Mr. Fiet had enjoyed remarkable health and 
yesterday and early today was up and about the house as usual, taking 
an interest in affairs and conversing with the family. He had not 
complained of illness but suddenly, without warning fell over and when 
assistance reached him, was dead. 
Born in Bohemia, Mr. Fiet came to America in his youth and more than 
sixty years ago located in Manitowoc county and for half a century was 
engaged in farming at Kellnersville. Of late years he had made his home 
with his son, John, at Kellnersville. One of Mr. Fiet's sons is 75 years 
old. One son, Wenzel, is located at Marshfield and John resides at 
Kellnersville. 
Funeral arrangements have not been made but the burial will probably be 
held Monday at the Catholic church at Kellnersville.

*********
The death of Wenzel Cenefeldt (sic) of Kossuth takes from the stage one 
of the actors in the Kossuth affair which almost ended in a tragedy. 
Cenefeldt was suspected of having shot the girl Mary Wachel and was kept 
in jail for a month awaiting examination when the girl confessed having 
done the deed herself and Cenefeldt was liberated. His sickness was of 
short duration. A singular feature of his death is that he foretold the 
hour at which it would occur. In the evening he asked the hour and being 
informed it was 7, said, "I have just five hours more to suffer. I shall 
die at twelve." A few minutes after twelve he was dead. His funeral was 
the largest ever seen in that section,there being 100 teams in the 
procession.
Manitowoc Pilot, November 29, 1888 P. 3
*********
THE MYSTERY SOLVED.
The mystery enshrouding the attempting murder at Kossuth has finally 
been cleared up. The girl, Mary Wachel, was led by a peculiar 
circumstance to confess that she had made the attempt upon her own life. 
Last week the officers had her brought to the city. They were reasonably 
confident she knew who fired the shot, and their belief in Cenefeldt's 
(sic) guilt was considerably lessened by the investigations they had 
made. The revolver which he had in his possession was a 22 caliber. The 
bullet taken from the girl's body was a 32 caliber. It was thought that 
Cenefeldt might be in possession of another revolver and the body of a 
dog which he had shot was brought to the city and in it were found two 
bullets, each a 22 caliber. A revolver was found in Decker's house, that 
in which the girl lived, of 32 caliber and with one barrel discharged. 
Here the chain was broken and the officers were baffled. Every means 
possible was employed to make the girl confess. A priest tried his 
persuasion, telling her of the slight prospect of her recovery and the 
wrong she would to Cenefeldt if he was innocent and she knew it. But she 
persisted in her statement that she did not know who shot her.
When she was brought to the city she showed some signs of alarm and was 
always startled by the appearance of a stranger. Mrs. Bolen was unusally 
kind to her and she began to feel easier.
On Saturday the county officers at the court house and county buildings 
decided to have their pictures taken in a group in the court house yard, 
and for a back ground hung a black cloth along the east side of the 
court house. A number of the books used in the several offices were 
piled up and the officers were standing around in groups. The girl 
showed unusual perturbation at these preparations. It finally flashed 
through her mind that Cenefeldt was to be executed for attempting to 
kill her and she threw herself on the floor at Mrs. Bolen's feet and 
pleading in agony that the execution be stopped and she would confess all.
Then the girl told her story. She had been seduced the Sunday previous 
to the shooting by her cousin, Joseph Decker, a young man about 20 years 
of age. The day following he left for Chicago and the poor girl nursed 
her shame until she resolved to take her own life. She left the house 
taking the revolver, and shot herself after driving out Cenefeldt's cows 
from the field of her employer. She returned the revolver to the place 
from which she took it, after reaching the house.
Saturday evening Under Sheriff Kruger started out to arrest Decker and 
brought him to the city that night. He found bail without difficulty. He 
denied the girl's story but made admissions which practically were a 
confession of guilt. He concluded to settle the matter and paid the girl 
$250, and made provision for a further payment of $350 in case a child 
should be born, besides paying the expense of the proceedings against 
him. He is a young man of good appearance, was a student at the Oshkosh 
Normal school and also attended school in this city. He enjoys a 
reputation in the neighborhood in which he lives of being a little fast. 
If he has a conscience he will suffer for blighting the life of so good 
a girl as his cousin, Mary Wachel.
The girl is prepossessing in appearance and has a good, honest face. 
That she is virtuous at heart is shown by her determination not to 
survive the loss of her virtue. She receipted for the $250 but 
positively refused to accept it, stating it was "sin-money" and she 
would have nothing to do with it. The district attorney deposited it in 
her name in a bank.
The girl cried uninterruptedly from the time of her confession on 
Saturday afternoon until Sunday night. It was feared she would go 
insane. She is poor, having no relatives in this country but the 
Deckers. Her mother died insane in Bohemia and Mary came to this country 
alone to make her own living and help the members of the family who 
remained.
Cenefeldt was released some weeks go, he having furnished bail to the 
amount of $2,500. He has been discharged since the girl's confession.

SCRATCH ON HAND CAUSE OF DEATH
Jacob Gerl, Former Local Man is Dead in Green Bay Hospital
A slight scratch on the hand from a piece of steel cost the life of Jacob Gerl, 
a former Manitowoc man who died at St. Vincent's Hospital at Green Bay 
Monday, after a week of suffering from blood poisoning which developed 
from the injury. News of the death of Mr. Gerl was received by relatives here 
who will attend the funeral which is to be held at Menominee where the family 
has resided of late years, Mr. Gerl having been engaged in business there.
Mr. Gerl suffered the injury to his hand some time ago but it caused no alarm 
until ten days ago when the hand became swollen and painful. Physicians had 
the patient removed to the hospital at Green Bay, planning amputation of the 
hand but before the operation was performed, the condition of Mr. Gerl had 
become critical and his death followed Monday after intense suffering.
Two brothers, Andrew at Four Corners and Frank Gerl of Kellnersville and 
one sister, Mrs. C. Schoch of this city and a sister, Miss Barbara Gerl of 
Milwaukee survive and a widow and family at Menominee mourn the death 
of Mr. Gerl. The funeral at Menominee will probably be held Wednesday.

MARY HARMACEK

MANITOWOC-Though a century old today, and a resident at St. Mary Home, Manitowoc, Mary Ann Harmachek's (nee Spurney) memory is remarkable. She recently related the following details of her life, which she recalled clearly.
The Spurney sisters maternal and paternal grandmothers cam (sic) from Czechoslovakia. Mary Ann recalls that Madeline Spurney and her five-year-old son, Frank (their dad), often talked about the long 12-week trip across the ocean (while the winds sent them forward and back); their landing in New York; and their going on to live for a year in Chicago when it was "all water and swamp and stumps" and very sparsely settled. She doesn't know at what point young Frank met his future bride, Mary Marek, who arrived in America at age 16, but she knows that through contact with friends, her mother and dad were led, after marriage, to Oconto, Wis., where there was work to be had in the saw mills.
In Oconto, three children, Anne, Joseph, and Mary herself were born. Soon after, the family moved to a farm near Menchalville, in the town of Franklin, and four more children were born: Emma, Theresa, Catherine, and Frankie.
Mary Ann remembers grandma Marek, who was a slim five-foot tall woman, who frequently came to visit the young children in her family and would have candy in her pocket for them, and then would help with the family washing and mending. Grandma Marek lived a little north of Menchalville with her daughter, Theresa Marek Tisler.
Mary Ann attended the Menchalville public school which was about "10 steps from the Spurney home," but this was not always an enjoyable experience. "Bohemian" was the language spoken in the Spurney home, and English was less than easy for the children. Aunt Mary says about her early school experience: "I was just like a calf in the barn. I didn't know what was "cat", "rat", etc. There were stories about peas and carrots, and I didn't know anything. I was dumb, dumb, dumb." Aunt Mary says she learned English "when she went to work out among the people."
It was a little easier when she went to the Catholic School in Kellnersville where there was a priest who instructed them in the Czech language, and also a Franciscan sister, both of whom prepared the children for their First Communion. Aunt Mary made her First Communion when she was 12 years old, along with her sister, Emma (later Emma Swoboda), who was a year younger than she. Their mother didn't want Mary to be alone, so she asked the priest if Emma could also receive her First Communion with Mary, which is what happened.
When Mary was 16-17 years old, she worked at Mike Kellner's in Kellnersville, milking cows, working in the barn, and helping in the house with washing dishes, making of beds, etc. to help the "head cook," Mrs. Kurtz. She remembers that Mike Kellner had two horses on the road every day to haul grain from the farmers to sell in Manitowoc. He had several men working on his farm and several women working in the store. She remembers particularly Miss Lizzie Martin and Mrs. Mary Shebesta Hurka who worked in the store.
Mary Ann relates that she was 19 years old when she went to work at the Albert Petska store in Rosecrans to do the baking, cleaning, etc. She says during the time she was there, she helped in preparing big baskets of food which were taken over to the Berger Harnes Shop at the Maribel corner to feed the men who were building the railroad through Maribel at that time.
It was her brother-in-law, Matt Swoboda, who introduced Mary Ann to a young farmer, Jacob Harmachek, from Polivka's Corners, whom she married at age 23. Mary lived with her husband and mother-in-law while she still "worked among the people." Mary states that she had a beautiful mother-in-law, and says that if she would have been married three or four times, she couldn't have acquired a more wonderful mother-in-law. Jacob's mother lived with the young couple for only three years, however, before she died. And Mary Ann was at her beside when she died.
Jake and Mary Ann operated the farm until 1932, when they moved to Kellnersville.
Mary Ann philosophizes that where you have a church, you will always find a sermon, and wherever there are two married people together, there is a beautiful sermon or story to tell also, but there is only a certain length of time to tell it, and then "it is all over." Her husband Jacob died suddenly with a heart attack Jan. 15, 1943.
Mary Ann continued to live in her little house in Kellnersville for the next 30-some years before moving to the Whitelaw Nursing Home, and after it closed, to the St. Mary Home for the Aged in Manitowoc.
Mary Ann's grand-niece, JoAnn Daley, recently pointed out to her in a magazine article that only one in 20,000 are able to reach 100 years, and there are only abut 12,000 centenarians in the United States. And when interviewers talked to a certain 1,000 persons who had reached 100 years, they noted five things that they felt helped them to get to that age: they do nothing to excess: they are early risers; they always work hard and keep busy; they are religious; and they take things as they come.
And relatives of Mary Ann and the sisters of St. Mary Home say this is an embodiment of the centeranian.

MARIA HERLIK

Last Sunday afternoon Mrs. Mary Herlik died at the home of her son John 
in this city, from infirmities of old age.  She was born in Bohemia in 1823 
and when still in her teens was married to George Herlik.  They moved to 
this country in 1863 and settled in Manitowoc County on a forty acre farm 
where they resided up to four years ago when Mr. Herlik died and the 
children took hold of the work for the mother.  Mrs. Herlik, since the 
death of her husband, has resided with her daughter, Mrs. Mary Skarwan of 
Kossuth up to about a month ago, when her son begged his sister to leave 
her to his care where she could live in quiet and also to try and do the 
duty of every child to his aged parents-to care for her in her waning years.  
Eighty-seven years told little on the mind of Mrs. Herlik, and when drawn 
into a conversation, she displayed a brilliant intelligence and was a good 
entertainer.
She is survived by two daughters and one son:  Mrs. Anna Radey and Mrs. Mary 
Skarwan of Manitowoc County, and John Herlik of this city.
At eight o'clock Tuesday morning, the funeral procession left here and grew 
longer continually.  When Gibson was reached, there were over thirty-five 
teams following the hearse, and as this was in the vicinity of where she spent 
nearly all her days in this country, the congregation of friends kept growing 
larger and larger so that the multitude numbered into hundreds before the 
destination was reached.  Late in the day, the procession reached Kellnersville, 
where her body was laid to rest in the Catholic Cemetery.
