Special thanks to the wonderful nursing staff at St. Mary's Home who took such loving care of Father John. Your kindness will never be forgotten by the family. "Other than Jesus Christ, what has influenced my own priestly ministry the most is "The Decree on the Ministry and Life of Priests," Chapter 2, "The Function of Priests", which tells me "... it is the first task of priests as co-workers of the bishops to preach the gospel of God to all men". If you were to ask any of the people whom I have served during the past 45 years what my outstanding quality is, I am sure they would immediately respond "excellent homilies". I have spent much time in preparing and presenting the Word of God. Perhaps it is my background from Manitowoc County Nomal School that gave me great joy in teaching at all grade levels from pre-school through college. Jesus IS my Master Teacher." "Brothers and sisters, I must say good-bye. Mend your ways. Encourage one another. Live in harmony and peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you." 1 Corinthians 13.11.

(Pop) Norman, 72, former assemblyman from the First district of Manitowoc County who retired in 1948 as a member of the faculty of Lincoln High School to enter Politics, died early Friday evening at an Oshkosh hospital.

L. Krembs will officiate and burial will be in Calvary Cemetery. He earned the title of “Pop” during his 21 years as a physics instructor at the high school, because of his close personal contact with his students. He was born May 29, 1883, at Hartford, Washington County, and received his early education in a parochial school at nearby St. Lawrence and his high school and some college education at St. Francis Seminary, Milwaukee. He attended and was graduated from the University of Wisconsin at Madison in 1907, where he took a course in education, and later attended schools at Berne, Switzerland, where he specialized in languages.

In the fall of 1948 he entered the race for the assembly in the first district of the county, which includes the city of Manitowoc and several towns. He swept through the primaries on the Republican ticket and when no Democrat filed to make the race, was unopposed in November. He won again in 1950 and 1952. When it came time to file papers for the 1954 election, Norman advised the county clerk that he would not be a candidate because of failing health. He was then residing with a sister in Milwaukee. He was an ardent golfer in his earlier years in Manitowoc and was a familiar figure during his long walk. In early years he also spent some of his summer vacation time as a cook on the Great Lakes.

ISABEL O'CONNOR Miss O’Connor Teacher Here 35 Years Dead Miss Isabel O’Connor, who retired from active teaching last year after more than 35 years of service in schools of this city and county, passed away this noon at the Holy Family Hospital. She went to the hospital last Thursday and underwent an operation there on Saturday. Funeral arrangements have not been completed and will be announced tomorrow. The deceased was 64 years of age and has always made this city her home. She taught for a number of years in rural schools and then joined the staff of the McKinley School where she continued until last year, when she retired. She resided with her niece, Miss Marie Mulholland at 1014 St. Clair Street. She is survived by a sister, Nellie O’Connor, teaching at Milwaukee and a brother, Ben O’Connor, a city mail carrier. Manitowoc Herald News - Tuesday, Jan. 22, 1929 - page 1 ******** Miss Isabel O'Connor died at the Holy Family hospital, Monday at 11:30 am. She underwent an operation a few days before and failed to rally. Her friends knew she was not in the best of health but few, if any, were aware that death was imminent and the news of her passing away came as a shock. Miss O'Connor was born at Manitowoc 62 years ago. She began teaching in the rural schools in her teens and after a few years joined the North Side city district school staff. She continued teaching until last year, covering a period of over forty years in the city grade schools. She had been residing with her niece, Marie Mulholland at 1014 St. Clair Street. She is survived by a sister, Nellie O'Connor, a teacher in the Milwaukee schools and Benjamin J. O'Connor of this city. The funeral will be held tomorrow (Friday) with mass at Sacred Heart Church at 9 o'clock and interment at Calvary. The death of Isabel O'Connor recalls the reference to "those sweet and patient souls who in narrow circles live radiant lives". Her religious faith was complete. It admitted of no disturbing doubt. She lived each day exactly as if she expected to face her maker and render her account at sundown. She did not parade her devotion to the ancient faith of her forbears nor allow her piety to work an austerity in social intercourse, but with a smile performed her daily duties to society, to herself, her family and her church, quietly and competently. Here was a rich life that surely merited the words of hope as the shadows closed round. Manitowoc Pilot - Thurs., Jan. 24, 1929

JOHN O'HARA (co. death index v.11 pg.5) FOLLOWS WIFE IN DEATH JUST A YEAR LATER Ex-Co. Surveyor John O'Hara, Old Resident is Dead RESIDENT OF CITY FOR 41 YEARS On the eve of the first anniversary of the death of his wife which occurred Decembeer 6, 1910, John O'Hara, one of the city's oldest residents and widely known men, crossed his earthly career Tuesday night. Mr. O'Hara's death was due to general debility from advanced age, he being 82 years of age. With the death of Mr. O'Hara there passes one of the most unique characters known to local politics and a kindly man whose friends numbered legion. A life long democrat, Mr. O'Hara early became prominent in the councils of his party in the county and for years he was recognized as a leader. He was an ardent supporter of party principles and being a man well read and with ability as an organizer, he achieved results for his party in early day campaigns when personal effort counted for much in the fights. One of the notable incidents in the career of Mr. O'Hara as a politician of the county occurred in the campaign of 1896. A candidate for nomination as county surveyor, a position to which he had been elected in many previous elections, he faced defeat in the county convention of his party. Before the balloting started, Mr. O'Hara requested the privilege of being heard and in a speech that will live long in the annals of the party in the county, he swung the convention in his favor and captured the nomination defeating C.C. Ertz. Upon the very time of his death, Mr. O'Hara maintained his interest in politics and except when forced by illness to forego it, he was a regular attendants at all gatherings of his party. Elected county surveyor in 1872, Mr. O'Hara held the position for years, before retiring only because of his advancing age. He also held the office of justice of the peace and it was his proud boast that he was the oldest in point of years and continuous service in that position in the city. Of late years he office of justice has been little more than a name but Mr. O'Hara retained the title and among his friends was familiarly known as "Judge". Born in Sligo, Ireland iin 1829, Mr. O'Hara came to Manitowoc County forty-one years ago and had since continued his residence here. In 1852 he was married to Katherine McKenna who preceded him in death just one year. Nine children blessed the union, six of whom survive, Thomas, Chicago; John of Iron Mts.; James of St. Joe; Bernard of Chic ago; W.H. of Washington D.C.; and Mrs. Sara Connor of San Francisco. During the past three or four years, Mr. O'Hara made his home on the outskirts of the city where he owned a small plat of land and engaged in gardening. The death of his wife a year ago was a terrible shock to the husband and one from which he never fully recovered and with the knowledge that he was to join her in death, he was happy. Mr. O'Hara's death occurred at the Holy Family hospital where he had made his home for a year past since the death of his wife. He had been feeble for months and had failed rapidly and past few weeks and his death was not unexpected. He passed away quietly and without suffering. The death of Mr. O'Hara will cause a pang of sorrow to many who knew him and to his friends the announcement will bring a keen regret. Manitowoc Daily Herald - Wed., Dec. 6, 1911 ******** John O'Hara, aged 82 years, a well known resident of this city, died at 7 o'clock Tuesday evening at the Holy Family hospital, where he had lived since the death of his wife a year ago. He had been in poor health for several week, his ailment resulting from a general breakdown incident to old age. John O'Hara was born in Sligo, Ireland, in 1829, and has been a resident of Manitowoc over forty years. He was married in 1854 to Miss Catherine McKenna. Nine children were born of this union six of whom survive, Thomas and Bernard of Chicago, John of Iron Mountain, Mich., James of St. Joseph, Mich., William of Washington D.C., and Mrs. Sarah Croner of San Francisco. Mr. O'Hara was widely known in the county, especially among the early residents. He taught school in the county for some years, was justice of the peace a number of years and held the office of county surveyor for several terms. Mr. O'Hara was a well read man, a genial, whole-souled gentleman who had many friends. In politics he was a Democarat and for many years took an active part in political campaigns. He was a devoted husband and an indulgent father; to his friends the soul of fellowship. His best monument will be the good report that he has left behind him in the community in which he has lived for more than forty years. The funeral was held this morning at 10 o'clock from St. Boniface church. Interment was in Calvary cemetery.

Mr. Anderson’s home is near Madsen, on rural route 1, out of this city, where a wife and one daughter received the news of the tragedy as a terrible shock. Mrs. Anderson is prostrated by the death of her husband and is being attended by her daughter and neighbors. Mr. Anderson had been employed with the Wisconsin Public service Company for two years, being experienced in his work. A trick of fate claimed his life, the action of the wind being unforeseen as the loose wire was being drawn for its fastening. The Orth boy is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Orth, South Eleventh Street and a youth of brilliant promise. He had accepted a position with the Public service Co., less than a year ago after retiring from the insurance business in which he had been engaged with John Kadow Jr. He was about 19 years old, born in this city and was employed under his brother-in-law, C.J. Krieser, who is foreman of the line crew of the company. Besides his parents, Mr. Orth is survived by three sisters, Mrs. Krieser and twin sisters, Veronica and Virginia. Orth attended the local high school and was a dependable and industrious youth. Coroner W.G. Kemper, after being informed of the circumstances and investigating the accident, decided that no inquest need be called and announced that no steps would be taken in this direction by his office. The wire which the men were handling at the time of the accident was carrying no current and but for action of the wind carrying it into contact with the high tension wire there would have been no damage. Funeral arrangements have not been made for the two men.

When you lay this mortal by I wonder just how high you'll fly. Could it be just yesterday we laughed and sang, you showed the way. Or was it just a space in time and now we've got a hill to climb. I wonder how the Lord above can shower with His constant love. You and me and all the rest yes this is life, it is a test. So when our time is finished here, we'll draw our strength from memories dear. And now the time we've had to share was but a gift from Father who cares. Yes, separated we may be for time, but not eternity because it seems quite clear to me. His love will set us free. Herald Times Reporter, October 28, 1996 P. A2

M-13 ******** Ouker Resort Destroyed The store, saloon and dance hall of Martin Ouker at Silver Lake were wiped out by fire early Tuesday morning. There was no electric wiring to the place and no heating all day. The origin of the fire is a mystery. Mr. Ouker, who lives in a separate building was awakened by the bright light and the fire had progressed so far that it was beyond control, although some of the personal property was saved. An addition erected at a cost of $9000 nearing completion was a total loss. The entire loss is between $15,000 and $20,000 including Kelley Springfield tires worth $2800. There was but $3500 insurance on the place. The city department refused to send the city pumper out, mainly because the fire had already proceeded so far that the possibility of doing any good was not sufficient to justify the danger to the city in sending the apparatus so far away. Mr. Ouker has conducted the place which is a sort of road house and lake resort for eighteen years. He says he will rebuild fireproof. Manitowoc Pilot - Thurs., Dec. 20, 1923
