JOSEPH KORTAS, JR.  (d. 1945)    

Joseph Kortas Killed When Tractor Rolls On Him Today
Crushed as Machine Rolls Down Incline
Joseph Kortas, Jr., 21, was killed instantly about 8 o’clock this morning 
when the tractor on which he was riding rolled down a 20 foot
embankment on his father’s farm in the town of Newton, crushing the 
youth beneath it.
Coroner Theodore Teitgen announced that death was due to a crushed 
neck, and that no inquest would be held.
The youth had left the farm home this morning about 7 o’clock to plow 
on a field west of the home. When Joseph failed to return at dinner time,
his father went down to the field to search for him.
Dead When Found
He found his son lying at the foot of the steep incline with the tractor resting 
on top of him. Apparently the young man had been dead about four hours.
He had completed plowing 11 times about the field when the accident 
occurred.
Dr. Teitgen explained that the youth had come into a V-corner in the field,
and had unhitched the plow from the tractor while turning about.
After completing his turn, the youth apparently backed up to the plow in
hitch up, but the tractor came too close to the edge of the hill and tipped 
over, rolling down the embankment.
Dog Stays With Him
The youth’s dog had been with him in the field all morning and after the
accident remained by his side. When Mr. Kortas came looking for his son, 
the dog started barking furiously and led the elder Kortas to the accident
scene.
The young man was born on the farm in 1924, and attended the Valley 
View school there. He later attended St. Boniface school in Manitowoc.
The past few years he had been working on his parents’ farm. 
He was an only son of Mr. and Mrs. Kortas. The body was taken to the
Pfeffer funeral home here. Funeral plans will be announcd Thursday.

AURELIA KOSARZYCKI

Aurelia Kosarzycki entered her heavenly home on Saturday, Oct. 16, 2010, at the age of 76. She slipped away from the arms of her loving family in Manitowoc and awoke in the arms of our loving God. Aurelia is now reunited with her husband, Fabian. She was the treasured mother of Richard and Tania Kosarzycki of Manitowoc, Wis.; Diane Kosarzycki and Scott Wilson of Milwaukee, Wis.; Juliet Kosarzycki of Manitowoc; and the proud grandmother of Sierra, Devin and Zeno. Anyone who has ever stepped into the Kosarzycki home was greeted by the warmth of Aurelia's smile and the savory smells of a traditional Polish meal cooking in the oven. She loved to entertain and bake glorious, rich desserts. There was always a reason for a celebration and Aurelia especially loved the holidays. One of her most endearing qualities was the gift of bringing people together to share a feast with her family. Food was always the main focus of every event, even if it was just friends sitting around the kitchen table chatting. Aurelia was a woman who was very proud of her Polish heritage. Her home was filled with many beautifully crafted artistic pieces that she collected from her trips back to Poland. Aurelia has many family members that still reside in Poland and loved them all deeply. Even after living in the United States for more than 50 years, her love for the motherland was evident in every aspect of her life and her children's lives. She enthusiastically shared her ethnic heritage with everyone that entered her life. Some of her greatest pleasures included maintaining a beautiful garden, keeping a meticulously clean home, displaying items in her ""museum,"" being a member of the Red Hats, volunteering with many different organizations and hunting for the perfect bargain. But nothing compared to the importance of family and surrounding herself with compassionate friends that she cared about. She was the loving sister of Czeslawa Daszkiewicz, Poland; Janina Weber, Manitowoc; and Henryk Gruszcynski, Poland. She was preceded in death by her sisters: Teresa Gruszcynska and Alfreda Ligocka, Poland; and her parents: Jan and Cecylia (Gibowska) Gruszcynski, Poland.Aurelia was born to this world Oct. 8, 1934, in the country of Poland. She came to the United States in 1960 and married Fabian on Oct. 28, 1961. She was a dedicated member of the former St. Mary's Catholic Church. Visitation and the celebration of her life for relatives and friends will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 19, 2010, from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home, 628 N. Water St., Manitowoc.

The visitation will continue on Wednesday, Oct. 20, 2010, from 9 a.m. until the time of the morning blessing at 10:30 at the Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home. A mass of Christian burial will follow at 11 a.m. at St. Francis of Assisi on Marshall, 1114 S. 21st St., Manitowoc, officiated by Rev. Dan Felton.

OLDEST MUSICIAN OF CITY PASSES 
LAST CHARTER MEMBER OF THE MARINE BAND 
Wenzel Koutnik, 82, Summoned At Home After Illness of Several Months.
Wenzel Koutnik, oldest musician of the city and last surviving charter member of the Marine Band, founded in 1898, passed away at his home, 1015 Hamilton street shortly before midnight last night, aged 82 years. Mr. Koutnik had been a sufferer from asthma for a long time and for several months had been failing although he had been confined to his bed less than a week when death came to him.
Funeral Held Monday 
Mr. Koutnik’s funeral will be held Monday morning at 9:30 from the St. Boniface Catholic church of which he had been a member for more than fifty years, active in its work. The Marine Band which deceased assisted in organizing and with which he had been identified until health forced his retirement from active playing, will escort the remains of Mr. Koutnik to the church and Calvary cemetery where burial will take place.
Native of Bohemia
Born in Bohemia February 18, 1848, Mr. Koutnik died one day and one month before he would have observed the 82nd anniversary of his birth. His early life was spent in his native land and it was there 56 years ago, that he married Rose Foreyt, the wife who survives him. A year later the couple came to America and fifty-four years ago located in Manitowoc where he became one of the city’s pioneer mason contractors and followed that business until his retirement some years ago. He was recognized in his business for his conscientious work and fair dealing and enjoyed the respect and esteem of the community.
Always a lover of music and with the talent of his own people, Mr. Koutnik early became prominent in music circles of the city and played at many of the old time social events. When the movement for organization of the Marine Band was launched, he was one of its supporters and previous to that time played with other pioneer musical organizations. He was popular with the “Band Boys” and on occasion of his birthday anniversary, even after his retirement from active participation with the band, the date was never permitted to pass without the band serenading him at his home and on three occasions, in late years, “Wenz” as he was familiarly known to the band, got out his instruments and joined the boys in their numbers.
Mr. and Mrs. Koutnik celebrated their golden wedding anniversary 6 years ago and Mr. Koutnik played a number of solo numbers at that time for his guests. His love of music remained with him to the last and there was no greater enjoyment in his declining days than for him to listen to the old time selections of days of yesteryear.
Widow and Five Survive 
Mr. Koutnik is survived by his wife, his companion of fifty-six years and by five children, all residents of Manitowoc. There are Mrs. John Spoentgen, Mrs. Anna Moser, John Koutnik, Mrs. Frank Swoboda and Mrs. L. W. Tr—pher?.
