Woman Dies of Suffocation
Burning Roast Leads to Death
MANITOWOC—Mrs. David Hodge, 55, of 815 Green St., died 
early Sunday afternoon of suffocation when a beef roast she was 
preparing caught fire and filled her home with smoke.
Mrs. Hodge was pronounced dead on arrival at Holy Family Hospital 
shortly after 1:45 p.m. where she was removed in the ambulance of 
the Manitowoc Police dept.  Dr. Theodore Teitgen, Manitowoc 
County coroner, said death was due to suffocation through smoke 
inhalation.
Mrs. Hodge was discovered by her husband who returned for the 
noon meal. He told officers Harry Kasten and Walter Dueno, who 
responded to his call, that he had left home after 10:30 and that he 
and his wife had agreed on a 1:30 meal time.
When he entered the home he found Mrs. Hodge in a small room 
near the kitchen. She had a burn blister on her left hand. The officers, 
who inhaled considerable smoke before removing Mrs. Hodge, said 
the roast had been reduced to a crisp and bone.
Authorities said she may have put the roast in the stove and gone 
back to sleep.

28, 1904, daughter of the late William and Martha Barass Maciejewski.

KENWOOD HOLFELTZ   

BOY DROWNS AT BEACH HERE
Holfetz Youth Is First Victim Of This Season
Boy Falls Out of Improvised Boat; Efforts To Revive Fail
The first drowning of the summer occurred this morning when 
Kenwood Holfeltz, aged 8, paddling about in the lake south of 
the city utility plant in an improvised boat made from an old mortar 
tub, became frightened, jumped into the water and struck his head 
on the tub. The body floated and was recovered a short time after 
the accident but respiration methods failed.
Although Holfeltz had some companions on the shore he was out 
alone in the mortar tub and the boys ran and notified Pete Schmidt, 
who operates a welding shop nearby. The latter after some search 
located a row boat, brought the body of the Holfeltz boy to shore.
Respiration equipment was hurried to the lake shore by the truck 
of the fire department. A call also went to Two Rivers where an 
inhalator and first aid equipment of Wisconsin Public Service 
corporation were brought here.
Saw Some Hope
Robert Lindwall, of the physical education department of the high 
school and swimming coach, and Melvin Reinhardt, south side beach 
life guard together with Dr. George Hoffman, city health officer, 
worked over the boy’s body for nearly two hours but he was past 
aid.
Since hope was retained, due to the return of blood to the ear lobes 
and arms, which spurred those working over the boy to renewed 
efforts. But finally there were no signs of life and the efforts were 
abandoned. The body was removed to the Pfeffer parlors. Dr. 
Gerald Rau, county coroner, announced that there would be no 
inquest.
Word of the drowning of the southside boy spread quickly about 
the city, following the trip through the downtown streets of the 
north side hook and ladder truck with the pulmotor. Large crowds 
gathered along the beach where workers were active over the body 
of young Holfeltz. The police were forced to rope off an area to 
keep the crowds back while the workers were administering to 
the boy.
Parents Arrive
The boy’s father, John Holfeltz, South 11th street, arrived at the 
scene soon after the body was recovered and assisted in trying to 
revive his son. The mother also appeared and she became so 
hysterical that the police had to hold her beyond the ropes to prevent 
her interfering with the men working over the boy.
The Two Rivers equipment was in charge of Edward Danner and 
E. P. Orlabeck, of the Wisconsin Public Service corporation.
The lake was calm shortly after 9 a.m. today when young Holfeltz 
set out in the mortar tub for a paddle on the lake. The west wind 
slowly moved the tub and Holfeltz out from shore. The small boys 
and young men along the beach said that they first noticed Holfeltz 
making frantic efforts to get the tub back to shore. Then they saw 
him jump from the tub into the water.
The parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Holfeltz, reside at 1213 South 
11th street. There is one sister, 5, and a brother, 7 
(names omitted for privacy). No funeral arrangements have been made.

ANTONIA HOLMAN

PIONEER OF CITY FOLLOWS MATE IN DEATH
Complications, coupled with advancing age and grief over her 
husband’s death caused the death at the hospital of Mrs. Antonia 
Holman, widow of Ignatz Holman, for many years a resident of 
Manitowoc. Funeral services are to be held tomorrow morning 
from the Pfeffer chapel at 8:30 o’clock and from the St. Boniface 
church at 9 o’clock, Rev. Kersten officiating. Interment will take 
place at Calvary cemetery. Mrs. Holman died late Sunday.
Mrs. Holman has been ill for some time and her health declined 
rapidly since the time her husband took his own life at the family 
homestead on S. Tenth street some weeks ago.
Born in Bohemia on April 21, 1848, Mrs. Holman moved to the 
Unted States many years ago and spent many of her 31 years in 
Mantowoc. There are no immediate surviving relatives, the 
closest relatives in this country being two nieces, Mrs. Gust Thielen, 
Manitowoc and Mrs. George Oberg, Chicago.
The body will lie in state at the Pfeffer chapel between the hours 
of 7 and 9 o’clock tonight.

IGNATZ HOLMAN   

IGNATZ HOLMAN, AGE 76, SUICIDES AT HOME HERE
Lifeless Body of Pioneer of City Is Found By Wife Who Is 
Now Seriously Ill From Shock
Temporary insanity was blamed today for the suicide of Ignatz 
Holman, 76, whose lifeless body was found hanging from a 
ladder in a chicken coop in the rear of the home at 1416 South 
Tenth street by his aged widow at 10:30 o’clock this morning. 
Police and the coroner were immediately summoned but life had 
been extinct for some time. 
His aged widow, Mrs. Antonia Holman, 80, is in critical condition 
from the shock and from nervousness which has bothered her for 
many years. She is under the care of relatives and could not be 
interviewed today.
District Attorney L. F. Fischer, when notified of the death by a 
representative of the Herald-News, stated that the case was 
apparently one of suicide and that no inquest would be ordered 
unless additional facts were brought to light.
Favorably Known
Mr. Holman was known about the city as one of the courteous 
gentlemen of the old school and had lived a retired life for some 
time following many years spent as a mason in Manitowoc. Friends 
who observed him the past several days could ascribe no motive 
for his act, Mr. Holman being cheerful at all times and it was 
presumed that he must have become temporarily insane before 
committing his rash act. 
He used a one-quarter inch rope to hang himself and had he desired
to save himself from the consequences could have done so as his feet 
were only a short distance from the ground and also a short distance 
from the slanting ladder on which he had fastened the rope.
Found By Wife
Authorities were informed of the death of Mr. Holman by neighbors 
who were attracted to the scene by the screams of Mrs. Holman 
after the discovery of the lifeless body of her husband to whom she 
was wedded many years ago.  The couple came from Germany 
and settled in Manitowoc forty-five years ago, making their home 
in this city continuously since that time.
They have no children and the only immediate relative in Manitowoc 
is a niece who is now taking care of the widow.
Funeral on Monday
Funeral services will be held from the Pfeffer chapel, Washington 
Street at 9 o’clock and from the St. Boniface church with interment 
taking place at Evergreen. The body is now at the Pfeffer chapel to 
which it was removed following the arrival of authorities.

PAUL J. HOLSCHBACH   (d. 2007)

Paul J. Holschbach, age 85, a De Pere resident, died on Tuesday, 
July 31, 2007. 
The son of the late Paul T. and Clara (Dirkmann) Holschbach was 
born on Nov. 23, 1921, in Manitowoc, where he lived until 1969, 
and has lived in either Green Bay or De Pere ever since. Paul 
acquired 14 years of "formal" education but also took many short 
courses and seminars, including writing and public speaking. He 
had worked for the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a meat 
inspector. On June 12, 1970, Mr. Holschbach and the former Rose L. 
Meyer were married in Green Bay. Mr. Holschbach had many interests 
and hobbies: he served on the Manitowoc County board from 1949 
until 1957 and on the Brown County commission on aging; was a past 
president of the De Pere park board; and served on the De Pere 
mayor's advisory committee. He was an avid bird watcher having 
330 species on his life list. He was a charter member of the Green 
Bay Genealogical Society, and traced his family tree back to 1520. 
Paul spent part of the summer of 1975 doing that research. 
He enjoyed horse breeding: his favorite named "Index," which he 
raised and trained, became the Michigan State High-Point Half-Arab 
(Show Career) in 1966. Paul was a past president of the Gardeners 
Club of Green Bay and past regional director of the National Men's 
Club (MGCA). He was a master gardener and an accredited horticulture 
judge. He also engaged in the fascinating hobby of ginseng hunting. 
Paul won many awards for photography doing flora and fauna subjects. 
Some of his honors included having his pictures selected for the 
front and back covers of the Men's Garden Club of America magazine: 
"The Gardener," a national publication. Some also were selected for 
their calendar. Many of Paul's winning scenes were used on his all-
occasion greeting cards he produced and merchandised. Paul won the 
book award of merit from the Wisconsin State Historical Society for 
his book: "Memoirs of the Little Man." He did much volunteer work: 
15 years of delivering meals to the homebound, just to mention one. 
Paul was born with a condition known as Panhypopituitarism, resulting 
in his growth being restricted considerably. His first job was with 
the Manitowoc Ship Building Company as an outside machinist's helper. 
The "yards" had received a contract from the Navy to build 28 
submarines during World War II. Paul stood only 49 inches tall and 
weighed but 75 pounds at the time. He was facetiously referred to as 
the "chief getting into small holes man." He was called upon to get 
into the small and confining spaces of the subs. He did this for 
almost every trade there employed. None of the other 8,000 men on 
the crew (of normal sized men) could perform Paul's job. Paul felt 
that it was his contribution to the war effort. While some of his 
buddies and classmates were secluding themselves in fox holes on a 
battleground, Paul was squeezing into and out of his own type of 
fox hole. 
In 1964, at the age of 43, Paul underwent endocrinology work at the 
University Hospitals. After much consternation, it was decided to 
proceed with the replacement therapy even at such a late and history 
making date. The synthetic replacement hormones permitted Paul to 
live a richer, fuller and healthier life, not withstanding some 
tradeoffs. Ironically, Paul grew considerably later in life, which 
was not due to any stimulant. He actually grew 14 inches after he 
reached the age of majority (21). While a resident in Manitowoc, 
Paul had been a member of St. Boniface Catholic Church, and was 
currently a member of Resurrection Parish in Allouez. 
(Survivors omitted for privacy.)
He was preceded in death by his parents and two brothers. 
Friends may call at Resurrection Catholic Church, 333 Hilltop Drive, 
Allouez, from 5 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 2, 2007. A parish prayer 
service will conclude the visitation at 7 p.m. with his nephew, 
Deacon Keith Holschbach, officiating. Visitation will continue on 
Friday from 9 a.m. until the hour of Mass at St. Francis of Assisi 
Faith Formation Center, (former St. Boniface Catholic Church), 
1110 S. 10th St., Manitowoc. 
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10:30 a.m. on 
Friday at the church with Bishop Robert Morneau and the Rev. Paul 
Demuth concelebrating, along with Deacon Keith Holschbach assisting.

MARTIN F. HOTZ    

ACCIDENT IS FATAL TO AGED MAN
SHOCK PROVES TOO GREAT FOR FRED HOTZ, 81
Injury when Struck by Auto Ten days Ago Ends in Death
Injuries and the shock which he suffered in an automobile accident when 
he was struck by a machine ten days ago at Washington and Fourteenth street 
proved fatal to Martin Frederick Hotz, pioneer hottler of Manitowoc, aged 81, 
and death came to him at the hospital early Sunday morning. Mr. Hotz suffered 
a severe skull injury when struck by a car driven by Frank Kinstrey Wednesday 
morning September 22 as he was crossing the street and stepped into the path 
of the automobile, the driver of which was unable to avoid the accident.
Funeral on Wednesday
Mr. Hotz was on his way to Belinski Bros. market on an errand for his daughter 
Mrs. Philip Goetz with whom he made his home. He was taken to the hospital 
where he has been a patient since, his advanced age, 81, being a handicap to 
the fight he made to live. Death was due to the shock of the accident, coupled 
with the injury he sustained.
Funeral services will be held Wednesday morning at 9 o’clock from the Goetz 
home, 1416 Washington street, to St. Boniface church, Rev. Kersten officiating. 
Burial will be at Calvary.

Knights and up to the time of his injury was active and a familiar figure in the 
neighborhood where he made his home.

HOTZ DEATH NOT DUE TO INJURY IN ACCIDENT
This is Testimony of Physician at Inquest Yesterday
That the death of Fred Hotz, aged resident who died at the hospital several 
days after having been struck by an automobile at Fourteenth and Washington 
streets, was not due to injuries in the accident but to gangrene developed 
from trouble from which he had long suffered, was the testimony of Dr. Tergeson 
before the coroner's jury in the inquest held yesterday. The jury returned a 
verdict of unavoidable accident and exonerated Frank Kinstrey, driver of the 
car.
More than two and one-half hours was taken by the jury in reaching its verdict 
after several witnesses had given testimony, including Kinstrey who although 
he was advised he need not testify, took the stand and told of the accident, the 
position of the pedestrain(sic) and the car, speed of the machine and other 
details and answered all questions asked him. Mr. Kinstrey explained his effort 
to avoid striking Mr. Holz and his failure. 
Other Witnesses
Frank Valet, an employe of the Globe Laundry Co. with which Kinstrey is 
identified and George Maresch, both of whom were near and witnessed the 
accident were also witnesses and explained how it had happened, neither giving 
evidence in the matter. Dr. Tergeson in his testimony said that after the third 
day Mr. Hotz had shown marked improvement of condition that precluded probablility 
of the skull injury sustained having been the cause of death and he maintained 
that the death was due to natural causes growing out of the afffication(sic) 
from which Hotz suffered and his advanced age.
Lawyers Take Notes on Inquest
Atty. Walter M. Joyce of the firm of Healy & Joyce, was in attendance at the 
inquest, taking notes on the testimony and it was reported that relatives of 
Mr. Hotz had retained the law firm with a view to action if the testimony 
warranted a claim on the insurance policy carried by Kinstrey's concern.
