FRANCIS KACYNSKI   

Boy Drowns In River At Shoto
Slips Off Concrete Abutment of Dam
Francis Kacynski, 13, adopted son of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Kacynski, 
725 S. 16th street, drowned in the West Twin river early this afternoon 
just above the Shoto dam.
The youth slipped off a concrete abutment of the dam into about 10 feet 
of water, according to the information obtained by Dr. Theodore Teitgen, 
county coroner, from WiIliam Jacobsen, 14, also of 725 S. 16th street, 
who was with Kacynski.
Runs For Help
Jacobsen ran to a nearby grocery store and asked for help. Several 
swimmers dove into the water but were unable to locate the body. 
Sheriff Elmer Bergner and a fire department inhalator squad in charge of 
Fire Chief John Gaedke also rushed to the scene. The sheriff and deputies, 
several coast guardsmen and residents of the vicinity of Shoto dragged 
just above the dam for over an hour before the body was located by the 
coast guardsmen. The youth wore swimming trunks.
The water is not deep just above the dam except for a hole at the point 
where the Kacynski boy fell in. Authorities said it was possible that he 
may have struck his head on the concrete abutment as he slipped and fell.
The Kacysnki family has a summer cottage at Shoto.  Francis was an 
eighth grade student at St. Boniface school.

PIONEER MARKET MAN DIES
FRANK KADOW, CITY PIONEER, PASSES AWAY 
Established One of First Meat Markets Still Operating, and Widely Known in Business
Frank Kadow, aged 85 years, and identified with the business and 
commercial life of Manitowoc for over sixty years, passed away this 
morning at the Holy Family hospital where he had been a patient 
sufferer from the infirmities of old age for the past month. In the 
death of Mr. Kadow, one of the early day pioneers of the city, who 
came to the city back in 1869 and established one of the early day 
meat markets here, passes.
Funeral services for Mr. Kadow, who was the last surviving member of 
the Kadow family which came here from Germany over sixty years ago, 
will be held on Thursday morning at nine o’clock from the St. Boniface 
church, of which Mr. Kadow was one of the original parishioners. The 
funeral is being held off until Thursday to allow a son, George Kadow, 
to arrive here from Denver, Colo., for the services. 
Son Takes Over Business
In the sixty-odd years that Mr. Kadow has resided in the city, thirty 
were spent in active business. In addition to operating a meat market, 
he engaged in the real estate business, and later his son, John M. Kadow, 
became associated with him, the latter taking over the business when the 
elder Kadow retired to private life in 1899.
The deceased was born in Poland Germany March _9, 1845, and spent his 
early life there. He was married there in 1867 to Miss Pauline Drabinski. 
Late in 1868 with an infant son, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kadow emigrated to 
America. They came to Wisconsin and settled at first in the town of 
Newton, where a brother, Steven Kadow, had been located previously. 
Remaining there a year, he came to this city in the late fall of 1869 and 
established one of the first meat markets in Manitowoc on South Tenth 
street. The business prospered and Mr. Kadow later branched out in the 
real estate business which he conducted in addition to the retail meat 
market, which he operated for many years after.
Wife Died Eight Years Ago 
Mr. Kadow reared a family of seven children and in the late nineties, 
his son, John M.. became associated with him in the meat market, which 
was removed to a Washington street location, and also in the real estate 
business. In 1899, the deceased retired from active participation in the 
business, which was taken over by John M. Kadow. Mr. and Mrs. Frank 
Kadow made their home at Eighteenth and Washington streets, where Mrs. 
Kadow passed away eight years ago. Since that time, the deceased has been 
spending his declining years with his children, principally with his sons, 
John M. and Wencel in this city.
In addition to being one of the early charter members of the St. Boniface 
congregation, Mr. Kadow was also a member of the Catholic Knights and the 
Holy Name society. His survivors are six sons, Stanley and Max of Milwaukee, 
George of Denver, and Wencel, John M. and Adolph, of this city, and one 
daughter, Mrs. Josephine Czerwinski of Milwaukee. There are also twenty-two 
grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.
Mr. Kadow was recognized as a man of keen business foresight and from the 
first advent to Manitowoc had shown an abiding faith in the future of the 
city, acquiring large property interests as he prospered in business. His 
market, which today represents achievement of three generations, was known 
widely and he builded (sic) a successful career upon a motto of fair dealing 
and service to his patrons. Although in late years Mr. Kadow had lived a 
retired life he continued to retain an interest in his own business affairs 
and conferred with his sons on matters affecting those interests. 
Funeral Thursday Morning 
The remains will be taken from the Frazier mortuary, Ninth and Chicago 
streets, to the home of John M. Kadow, 628 North Water street, late Tuesday 
afternoon where they will remain until Thursday morning. There will be a 
solemn high mass for the deceased with three priests officiating at nine 
o’clock Thursday morning at the St. Boniface church. Interment will be at

WALTER W. KARKOW

BOY CAUGHT UNDER CAR AND IS NEAR DEATH
7-Year Old South Side Lad Has Close Call Today
Crushed under a moving freight car in the yards of the Northwestern this afternoon, 7-year-old Walter Karkow was seriously injured and that the boy was not killed is a miracle. The lad is at the hospital where physicians say that his injuries will probably not prove fatal.
The boy, a son of Lawrence Karkow, South Nineteenth street, was picking up coal in the yards of the Northwestern, near the coal chutes, and attempted to remove a block of coal which had been placed on the track as a wedge to hold a coal [car] in place. When he removed the block, to(sic) car, which was on downgrade, started to move and the boy was caught under it.
The boy, struck by the car, was pinioned under it but fortunately the wheels did not pass over the body, to which fact the lad owes his life, as the heavy weight would undoubtedly have crushed out his life.

ISABEL KARNOFSKY    

WORD RECEIVED TODAY OF DEATH MRS. KARNOFSKY
Had Gone to California To Recuperate Health
Word was received by relatives here this morning of the death of 
Mrs. Anton Karnofsky of this city, which occurred last night at the 
home of her sister, Mrs. Viola Norris, at Los Angeles, Calif. A 
message received last night stated that Mrs. Karnofsky was 
seriously ill, this being followed by word this morning saying that 
she had passed away at 10 o’clock last night.
The information of her death came unexpectedly. Although Mrs. 
Karnofsky had been in poor health for some time, there was no 
intimation until at night that her condition was serious. Mrs. 
Karnofsky left here about a month ago for Los Angeles accompanied 
by her sister, Miss Margaret Carey, who was returning to that city.
Death Causes Grief.
Mrs. Karnofsky’s death not only causes grief among her own family 
but also among a large number of friends to whom she had greatly 
endeared herself. As wife and mother, daughter and sister, she will 
be sadly missed.
Born in the town of Meeme, Mrs. Karnofsky, whose maiden name 
was Isabel Carey, had made Manitowoc her home. Before that, for 
a period of five years, she taught school at Sheboygan, later being 
united in marriage to Anton Karnofsky, who is in the shoe business here.
Her husband, with a son, John, 14, and a daughter, Rita, 6, are left to 
mourn her sad and untimely death. Other bereaved relatives are her 
mother, Mrs. Honora Carey, North Ninth street; two brothers, T. F. 
Carey of Missoula, Mont., J. E. Carey of this city; and three sisters, 
Mrs. Viola Norris and Miss Margaret Carey of Los Angeles and Miss 
Nell Carey, Manitowoc.
Body to Arrive Wednesday.
The body will leave Los Angeles Sunday morning and will arrive in 
Manitowoc Wednesday afternoon, and it is expected that the funeral 
will be held Thursday morning at St. Boniface church, of which Mrs. 
Karnofsky was a member. 
The Karnofsky family home is at 1028 South Tenth street.
The life of Mrs. Karnofsky wa a shining example of Christian fortitude. 
Never one word of complaint has ever been heard to pass her lips. 
And in all her illness dating over a long period of years she has ever been 
steadfast in the faith that some day she would get well, Many acquaintances 
will have found in her life an example of patience well worthy of emulation.

was discovered Saturday evening and the guests were amply cared for.

EDWARD S. KASTEN  (d. 1928)

EX-SHERIFF EDWARD KASTEN DIES
DEATH EARLY TODAY ENDS UNEQUAL FIGHT
Deceased One of the Youngest Officials To Serve County As Sheriff
Edward S. Kasten, ex-sheriff of Manitowoc county and one of the youngest 
officials to serve in that capacity, died at the Holy Family hospital early 
today, aged 40. Death came to terminate an unequal fight which Mr. Kasten 
had waged for more than a year against the insidious inroads of cancer and 
which for months it had been realized was a hopeless one for him. He passed 
away at 8 o'clock this morning.
News of the death of Mr. Kasten will come as a shock to a wide circle of 
friends throughout the county who although aware of the critical condition 
of the patient, had hoped against hope for recovery. As sheriff of the county 
he had made a wide acquaintance and was popular in all sections as indicated 
by the overwhelming vote by which he was elected to office in 1925 for a term 
of two years.
Funeral on Saturday
Funeral services for Mr. Kasten will be held Saturday morning at 9:30 from 
St. Boniface church with requiem high mass. Burial will be at Calvary.
Mr. Kasten was a native of Sheboygan county, born in the city of Sheboygan, 
December 24, 1888 and came to Manitowoc years ago. He was married June 24, 
1911 to Gusta Hemple who with four children survive him, together with his 
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kasten, 1619 Division street. The children are 
Lucille 13, Harry 14, Grace 5 and Edward Jr. 4, all at home. Two brothers, 
Fred Kasten at Clover and Brune at Osman and four sisters, Mrs. Richard 
Bauer and Mrs. Reinhold Detjen, of Newton, and Mrs. Anton Roberts and Mrs. 
John Goetz, this city also survive.
In Laundry Business
For several years Mr. Kasten was engaged in the laundry business, (Photo) 
associated with the Globe laundry, retiring from the busines when he became 
a candidate for sheriff in 1925 and was elected by a large vote. He served 
the county well in his official capacity and but for his illness would 
probably have been named a candidate for re-election last fall, friends 
having planned to induce him to run. He was much interested in his work as 
sheriff and fulfilled the duties of the office with credit to the county and 
himself, establishing an excellent record.
Following his retirement from office Mr. Kasten, who had long been troubled 
by an affection of the throat, underwent an operation and it was found that 
he was suffering from the serious malady which gave little hope for life. He 
engaged in business at Clover where he conducted a hall and up to a few 
months ago continued active management of the place. He was forced to give up, 
however, and for months has been a patient at the hospital where the end came 
after a fight which he bravely waged to the very end.
Mr. Kasten was a member of St. Boniface Society and of the Eagles of this 
city.

JOSEPH KAUFMANN

KAUFMAN SLOWLY BLED TO DEATH, MAY NOT HAVE KNOWN DANGER
Milwaukee Papers Tell of Death of Local Man In That City
Body Brought Here For Burial Sunday Night
Sitting in his chair on a dredge on which he was employed as engineer, 
at Milwaukee, Joseph Kaufman of this city, slowly bled to death as he 
smoked his pipe and awaited the hour to begin work.  In all probability he 
was not aware of the insidious death that was overcoming him according 
to Milwaukee physicians who were called, but reached Kaufman too late 
to save him.
Mr. Kaufman had long been troubled with what is known as an open leg 
and his death was due to a ruptured artery, an external hemorrhage of 
which physicians say Kaufman was undoubtedly unaware, the loss of 
blood gradually weakening the man until he became unconscious and died.
According to fellow workmen on the dredge, Mr. Kaufman had been 
engaged in dressing his injured leg and had been overcome while engaged 
in this work, the leg being only partially bandaged when he was found 
unconscious in his room.  Physicians were immediately called but it was 
too lat.
The body of Mr. Kaufman was brought here Sunday night, accompanied 
by a brother Peter Kaufman, Milwaukee, and his brother-in-law Gustave 
Sumann, of this city, who departed for Milwaukee when the message 
announcing Mr. Kaufman's death was received Saturday.  The body 
was taken to the family home at 2315 Wollmer street.
The funeral of Mr. Kaufman will be held Tuesday morning from St. 
Boniface church at 9 o'clock.

county board service dates back to 1926.
Through Mr. Kaufmann’s efforts, the board voted to move the county asylum 
barns from the Seventh ward to a new site outside the city limits, near 
the junction of Highways 141 and 151. This step marked the initial drive 
to move all asylum properties outside the city. 
He was a member of the Catholic Knights of Wisconsin, the Holy Name society 
and the Eagles. 
In 1907, Mr. Kaufmann married Mrs. Cecelia Grocholski Halda of Milwaukee.

MERLYN T. KAUFMANN

If you are reading this, my life’s journey is now complete on June 11, 2012 and what a journey it has been. My name is Merlyn T. “Joe” Kaufmann, “The Duesenberg Doctor”. I lived at 4523 Hwy CR on Duesenberg Drive in Manitowoc.
I was born June 29, 1921, in Manitowoc, to Agnes (Waniger) and William Kaufmann. I attended St. Boniface Grade School and graduated from Lincoln High School in 1939. I served in the Navy and later in the Army Air Force between 1942 and 1946. I served in Guam in the 19th B-29 Bombing Group. I married Ruth Thompson on August 21, 1948 at St. Boniface Catholic Church, Manitowoc. I founded Kaufmann Auto Service and Restoration in 1948. 
The Auto Service business eventually became mainly “restoration” of which the Duesenberg became one of my specialties that brought people from all over the world to my shop to restore their cars. Cars owned by Clark Gable, Gary Cooper, Marion Davies and Greta Garbo were just a few of the many classic cars I had the privilege of restoring to their original glory. My expertise and love of Duesenbergs, led me to Auburn, Indiana for my annual pilgrimage to the Auburn Cord Duesenberg reunion beginning in 1956 to present day, which is held every Labor Day weekend.
The great times and memories with my 1911 Model T Ford, the 1917 Model T Ford and my 1930 Model A Ford “Woody” will never be forgotten. I was active in many car organizations: ACD Club (Auburn Cord Duesenberg Club), CCCA (Classic Car Club of America), AACA (Antique Automobile Club of America), VMCCA (Veteran Motor Car Club of America), Model A. Club, Model T. Club, and the HCCA (Horseless Carriage Club of America). Survivors include my loving wife: Ruth; and my children and their spouses: Mary Jo and John Stangel, Manitowoc, Dale Francar, Denmark, Sarah and Bill Parry, Coronado, California, Holly Kaufmann, Los Angeles, California, Linda and Ed Miller, Manitowoc, Paul and Dawn Kaufmann, Manitowoc, Tom and Laura Kaufmann, Knapp, WI. I am further survived by a sister and brother-in-law, Aggie and Adolph Drobka, Milwaukee. My grandchildren who loved to visit us at “The Farm” include Katie, Peter and Patrick Stangel, Tristan Francar, Anna and Jason Mattocks, Morgan Francar, Auburn and Patrick Burt, Amanda and Brad Belongia, Amber and Travis Preston, Jacob Cord Kaufmann, Mitchel and Spencer Miller and Clara, Victor and Isabella Kaufmann. I am survived by 5 great grandchildren, nieces, nephew, other relatives and the best group of friends anyone could have.
I was preceded in death by my parents, my daughter, Beth Francar, three brothers and sisters-in-law: Milton and Edna, Glenn and Emily, Harry and Dottie; and one sister and brother-in-law: Millie and Paul Fischl.

PETER KAUFMANN    (d. 1936)

Pedestrian Hit By Car And Killed 
Peter Kaufmann Victim of Car Driven By William Smazel; Call Inquest 
Peter Kaufmann, 71, was fatally injured last night when he was struck 
by a car driven by William Smazel as he crossed the street in front 
of his home at 23rd and Washington streets. 
He died two hours later at the Holy Family hospital. The accident 
occurred at 6:40 p.m. 
Coroner Gerald Rau announced today that there will be an inquest. He 
named the jury this morning and it viewed the body at the Pfeffer 
funeral home. The jury will probably meet Monday. It is composed of 
Malden Mauie, Reuben Voight, Archie Wolff, Simon Wehrwein, Otis Swenson 
and Clifford Thorison. 
Smazel, 1716 Marshall street, head of the Smazel Dairy company, told 
police last night that he was driving west on Washington street when 
the accident occurred.
Smazel Tells Story 
“I was going between 15 and 18 miles an hour,” Smazel told Officer 
William McConnell. “I don’t know how it happened. I was driving about 
three feet north of the center line on the street. As I got to the west 
crosswalk I saw a man standing right in front of the car. I jammed on 
the brakes but I hit him.”
Three witnesses, none of whom saw the actual crash, made statements 
this morning to Coroner Rau, in District Attorney J. R. Cashman’s 
offices. They were Frank Kaufmann, 2302 Washington street, brother 
of the crash victim; Paul Kollath, 2306 Washington street, who heard 
the crash from the living room of his home and who was one of the 
first to reach Kaufmann after he had been hit; and Andrew Handl, 931 
South 23rd street, who was crossing the east crosswalk when he heard 
the crash.
“I saw Smazel’s car and waited for it to pass as I left the south 
curbing toward the north side of Washington street,” Handl said. “He 
recognized me and waved to me. He was looking right at me. I walked 
about 15 feet and I heard the crash. I looked and saw a fellow lying 
in the road. At first, I thought it was a kid’s tricycle. I thought 
a kid had been hit. I ran over and the driver said, ‘Gee, a man 
standing right in the middle of the road.’” Handl said the car was 
going between 20 and 25 miles an hour. He said he “didn’t hear a horn.” 
Frank Kaufmann, brother of Peter, said he was sitting outside of the 
home in which he and his brother lived.
Saw Hat Fly 
“Pete walked to the sidewalk and out on the approach. Then I couldn’t 
see him, a lilac bush was in the way,” Frank said. “Then I saw a 
speeding car come up and that called my attention from Pete. Then I 
saw Pete’s hat fly and I ran out and his body was lying 15 feet away 
from where the car hit him. The car made an awful screech when it hit.”
“How fast was the car going when you saw it?” Rau asked. 
“All cars go fast enough past there, but he was going faster than the 
ordinary run, 35 miles an hour or more, Frank said. 
“Do you drive a car?, Rau asked.  
“Yes, but not like that.” Kaufmann said he did not actually see the 
car hit his brother. 
“Before I could get help, they were thick as bees around him,” he 
continued. 
He said his brother was not in the habit of walking directly across 
the street from the house.
Kollath testified that he “heard the tires squeak.”
“I ran out of the house and saw Pete lying in the road,” he said. Handl 
was there and we picked him up and carried him to the lawn. My mother 
called the ambulance. I didn’t notice the car because it was moved.” 
Kollath said the body was 12 or 14 feet from the curb and 50 feet from 
the car when he arrived on the scene.
Died at 8:30 
“He might have backed the car up,” Kollath said. “I didn’t hear a horn.”
According to Dr. A. D. Shimek who cared for Kaufmann after the accident 
victim was rushed to the hospital, Kaufmann had his left chest crushed, 
a fractured left arm, and “we believe” a fractured skull. Kaufmann was 
semi-conscious when he reached the hospital. 
“He recognized me but he didn’t explain the accident,” Dr. Shimek said 
this morning. Kaufmann died at 8:30 a.m. 
Peter Kaufmann was born at Cooperstown February 13, 1865. He came to 
Manitowoc as a boy and had lived here ever since. He never married.
Funeral services will be held Monday morning at 9:15 from the Pfeffer 
funeral home and at 10 o’clock from the St. Boniface church. Burial 
will be in the Calvary cemetery. The body will lie in state at the 
funeral home Sunday morning and until the time of the services Monday.
For the past 35 years, Mr. Kaufmann was employed by the Reiss Coal 
company here as an engineer. He had lived with his brother for the past 
15 years. For many years, he was active in union work. He was a member 
of the Moose and the St. Boniface Holy Name Society. 
Survivors include a sister, Mrs. William Houghton, Manitowoc; and five 
brothers, Frank, John and Andrew of Manitowoc, George of Kenosha and 
Charles.

Two years later I moved to Manitowoc and taught third grade at Cleveland School. I married Joe Kaufmann in 1948. He preceded me in death on June 11, 2012. Seven children, many old cars, a BIG family and many dear friends were my passengers as I steered down a busy and happy road of life.
I loved to teach and guide my children.

Council Board of Directors. I was an active member of St. Boniface and Francis of Assisi parishes involved with St. Ann and volunteered with St. Vincent De Paul for over 25 years.
Our old country farm house, my flower gardens and wild birds were a labor of love that brought me delight and the countless gatherings there kept family, friends, love and laughter at hand.
My husband and I enjoyed the many friends, good time and adventures we shared together while driving our antique cars across the U.S. as members of our antique and classic car clubs: ACD (Auburn Cord Duesenberg), AACA (Antique Automobile Club of America), HCCA (Horseless Carriage Club of America), and our favorite-The Brass Nuts.
Survivors include my children and their spouses: Mary Jo (John) Stangel, Manitowoc, Dale Francar, Denmark, Sara (Bill) Parry, San Diego, CA, Holly Kaufmann, Los Angeles, CA, Linda (Ed) Miller, Manitowoc, Paul (Dawn) Kaufmann, Manitowoc, Tom (Laura) Kaufmann, Knapp, WI.

My 15 grandchildren who also survived and loved to visit us at “The Farm” include: Katie, Peter and Patrick Stangel, Tristan Francar, Anna (Jason) Mattocks, and Morgan Francar. 
Auburn (Pat) Burt, Amanda (Brad) Belongia, Amber (Travis) Preston, and Jacob Kaufmann, Mitchel and Spencer Miller, and Clara, Victor and Issabella Kaufmann.
