MARKEY LARSON Larson Killed By Train Struck Near Francis Creek Retired Fire Captain on Way to Rural Home Markey Larson, 54, retired captain of the Manitowoc fire department, was killed instantly shortly before 5 o’clock Tuesday afternoon when the car in which he was enroute to his farm home on route 1, Whitelaw, was struck by a southbound North Western Road passenger train at a crossing a half-mile north of Francis Creek. Returning from his work at the Manitowoc Ship Building company where he was employed part time, Larson, the father of four young children, was north-bound alone on the town road when the eight-car train hit his auto directly in the middle and carried it a half-mile down the track before Engineer Conrad Carnot of 1225 South 14th street, this city, could bring it to a stop. According to the report of County Traffic Officers William Ladwig and Edward McConnell the 1930 model sedan was nothing more than a battered shell smashed against the front of the engine when the train finally could be stopped. The car motor was ground to bits and one of the wheels was found along the right-of-way about 145 feet east of the point of impact. Other parts of the car were scattered for a half-mile along the tracks. Inquest Feb. 18 Coroner Theodore Teitgen, who has called an inquest next Wednesday afternoon, Feb. 18, described Larson’s injuries as a compound skull fracture, two broken legs, a broken pelvis and left arm and crushed chest. The body had remained in the battered car and was resting on the fore part of the engine. The accident resulted in Manitowoc county’s second traffic fatality of 1948. The train, due in this city at 5 p.m. was held up for an hour and a quarter and did not arrive here until 6:25 p.m. The engine was reported to have been damaged slightly in the impact. Officer Ladwig said Engineer Carnot told him he heard a grinding noise under the engine as it crossed the road and applied the brakes immediately. Officers were unable to locate anyone who had actually seen the crash. Although the weather was clear at the time of the accident, a slight knoll along the highway and snow which had been plowed from the road for some (Continued on Page 2, Col. 5) LARSON KILLED BY C&NW TRAIN (Continued from Page 1) distance north of the crossing, may have prevented the driver from noticing the approaching train. Funeral Saturday The body was removed to the Urbanek and Schlei funeral home here where services will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday with the Rev. Paul Blaufuss officiating. Burial will be in Calvary cemetery with members of the Drews-Bleser post, American Legion, of which the deceased was a member, conducting military rites at the grave. Born in the town of Manitowoc Rapids in 1893, Mr. Larson lived there until September, 1917, when he entered the army. He served with the 50th. Spruce squadron at Vancouver Barracks, Washington, and was discharged in January, 1919. In March, 1919 he was appointed to the Manitowoc fire department, advancing to lieutenant, later to captain. He retired with that rank in June, 1945, after 26 years service. Later he was a foreman at the White House Milk company here and moved to the small farm north of Francis Creek about a year and a half ago. Twenty-five years ago in Chicago he married the former Margaret Wotruba of this city who survives him with four children, Orlis, 14, Clarence, 9, Thomas, 7, and Margaret Ann, 5, all at home; three brothers, Oscar, Louis and Hiram Larson, all of this city; three sisters, Mrs. George Denk and Mrs. Regina Anderson of Manitowoc, and Mrs. William Michel of Two Rivers.

K.C. LAZICH BOY, 10, Dies After Being Hit By Trailer He was walking on sidewalk when trailer came loose from truck WIS. RAPIDS — A 10-year-old boy died Thursday night while undergoing surgery for injuries suffered in an unusual traffic accident, according to authorities. K.C. Lazich, 1160 High St., son of Robert and Linda Lazich, was fatally injured as he was walking toward home at about 5 p.m., Wood County Coroner William Voight said. The boy was walking west-bound on the sidewalk in the 1000 block of West Grand Avenue, when a trailer being pulled by an eastbound pickup truck broke loose from the vehicle, jumped the curb and pinned the boy against a car in a parking lot, said Wisconsin Rapids Police Detective Bruce Smolarek. K.C. was transported to Riverview Hospital where he died in surgery at 7:01 p.m., Voight said. He died of a lacerated liver, the coroner said. The driver of the vehicle, David Feih, 140 15th Ave., was not injured in the incident. Smolarek said it is unknown how the trailer broke free, but the police department is continuing to investigate the accident. Officers today were scheduled to talk to whomever hooked up the trailer to the truck, he said. The driver of the truck had borrowed the vehicle from someone else, and the trailer belonged to yet another person, the detective said. This was the second traffic-related fatality of 1992 in the county, Voight said. Daily Tribune Wisconsin Rapids Friday, May 22, 1992 pg. 1 ******** Students, Teachers Mourn Death of Fourth-Grader By CHRIS DOMBROWSKI Tribune Staff Writer WIS. RAPIDS — Two schools today are mourning the death of K.C. Lazich, the dark-haired, 10-year-old boy who was hit by a runaway trailer Thursday afternoon near his west side home. "He was gifted. He had a mind that was so creative," said Sue Hamm, the third-grade teacher who had K.C. in her class at Howe Elementary School a year ago. K.C. transferred April 1 from Howe to Mead School when his father moved to 1160 High St. on the west side. Because of that, teachers at both schools were preparing this morning to help children with the death. His class at Mead was with teacher Mary Beth Anday on a field trip this morning and had not yet been told of the death, according to Richard Belke, principal. The morning was especially emotional at Howe. "He was so artistic, really gifted," Mrs. Hamm said. "The things he would think of, it was like da Vinci — Leonardo da Vinci — very detailed drawings." K.C.'s interest in science fiction and the military spilled onto his pages as he drew pictures of tanks and other machines, she said. "And he was interested in things that most third-graders wouldn't know about, like nuclear fusion, hydrogen bombs, and he understood them," she said. "He had the kind of the sense of humor that adults could relate to, too," Mrs. Hamm said. That may have made him kind of a loner at times among other children, she said, but he maintained long-lasting relationships with his close adult friends, such as Mrs. Hamm. After school, while he was still at Howe, he would visit her classroom every day on his way home. His last visit was Wednesday, when he came back to the school to talk to her for about five minutes, she said. "He was one of my very favorites," Mrs. Hamm said. "Sometimes there's kids that you would really like to have as your own." Funeral arrangements are pending at Higgins Funeral Home. Because the children at Howe feel they need to do something, a memorial has been established in his name, according to Janet Peterson at Howe School.

Herald Times Reporter, Aug. 20, 2010 ******** Fourteen Years Old, Plunges into Mishicot River and Saves Drowning Boy A local candidate for a Carnegie Medal for Heroism was nominated last Friday afternoon when James Schwerma, 14 years old, dived into the waters of the Mishicot River and rescued a ten year old boy who had fallen from a boat. The rescued lad was Howard LeClair, son of Albert LeClair. Young LeClair was playing in a small boat tied to the dock at Twentieth Street when he slipped and fell overboard. Unable to swim, he cried for help and young Schwerma went after him. He was brought to land exhausted but artificial respiration revived him after a short while. When one considers the Schwerma boy's age, the act, which would have been courageous in a mature man, merits double praise. Two Rivers Reporter - July 30, 1926

She didn't do it all at once, but by tiny pieces every day. At first we hardly noticed and sometimes even smiled, "Oh, She's just getting older," we told ourselves, our long suit was denial. The haunted look for what once was-the searching, asking, pacing-the thief had all the cards in hand, with time against Mom racing. Mom tried her best with what she had and Lord knows we did too, but the thief just took control and stole each bit of her we knew. But now that hard battle's over, and Mom's resting in her final Home. God made the thief give back to us the Mother we had known.

"I'm Free" Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free, I'm following the path God laid for me. I took his hand when I heard him call, I could not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work, to play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. I found that peace at close of day. If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, ah yes these things I, too, will miss. Be not burdened with times of Sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I've savored much. Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, don't lengthen it now with undue grief Lift your hearts and share with me. God wanted me now, He set me free.
