FRED PHILLIPPEN

CONTRACTOR WHO BUILT FIRST CHURCH IN COUNTY IS DEAD
FRITZ PHILLIPEN, WHOSE DEATH OCCURRED LAST NIGHT, BUILT CATHOLIC CHURCH
AT RAPIDS IN EARLY 50'S - WAS 90 YEARS OLD
Fritz Phillippen(sic), pioneer contractor and the man who built the first church
ever erected in Manitowoc county, is dead. Mr. Phillippin's demise occurred at
his home on Division street last night and was due to general debility and age,
decedent being nearly 90 years old when the summons came to him.
Mr. Phillippen, who was one of the early settlers of the county, locating here
in the early fifties, was a well known contractor in pioneer days and one of the 
first contracts which he undertook ater locating here, was the erection of the
Catholic church at Rapids, which is still standing, one of the landmarks of the
county. The church is a frame structure and for years was the gathering place
for Catholics for many miles.
Had Mr. Phillippen lived until February 2, he would have been 90 years of age,
having been born February 9, 1824, near the Rhine in Germany. He came to 
Manitowoc in 1854 and for years was one of the city's leading carpenter con-
tractors, and also engaged in business as a house mover. He served on year in
the Civil war as a member of Co. B, Ninth Wisconsin infantry, and returned here
after the war and had been a continuous resident since.
Mr. Phillippin was married fifty years ago this summer to Mrs. Sybelle Meyer,
who survives him and who, despite her age of 94 years, is in excellent health.
The shock of her husband's death has been a severe one for Mrs. Phillipin,
however. Besides the widow three step-children also survive, Mr. Phillipen, 
being F.W. Meyer, of this city, Mrs. Osul Campbell and Mrs. Max Prager, of
Chicago.
The funeral of Mr. Phillippin will be held from St. Boniface church Tuesday
morning at 9 o'clock.

AGED WOMAN ATTACKS WILL MADE JOINTLY WITH DEAD HUSBAND
Mrs. Phillipen, 94, is Witness in Unique Contest on Will Filed in Probate Court - Daughter Joins Her
Contesting a joint will which she made with her deceased husband, Fritz Phillipen and which 
she alleges is not a legal document on the grounds that the two witnesses to the will did not sign 
in the presence of each other. Mrs. Zibilia Phillipen, agaed 94, appeared as a witness in probate 
court yesterday and was a spectator at the hearing today. Mrs. Phillipen, with her two daughters, 
Mrs. Josephine Praeger and Mrs. Sophia Campbell of Chicago are contesting the probating of the will.
The will which was presented as the last testament of Mr. Phillipen, names Oscar Meyer, grandson 
of Mrs. Phillipen as executor and disposes of an estate of $2200 in personal property and considerable 
real estate. Mrs. Phillipen, whoh was the second wife of the decedent, is the mother of three children, 
Mrs. Campbell, Mrs. Praeger and F.W. Meyer, who under the will receive one-fourth of the estate. 
The other fourth goes to two sets of grandchildren of the couple after the death of both, the widow 
having use of the property for life.
Though Mrs. Phillipen signed the will with her husband she questions the legality of the document and 
claims that W? and Margaret Meyer, witnesses were not present at the time to witness the will, which 
is required by law. Both witnesses, however, testified that the instrument was legal. It is said, Mrs. Phillipen 
had money in her right which under a joint will would become part of the estate.  A sensational clash between 
Atty. Schenian and Mr. Meyer when the latter was a witness, featured the hearing yesterday. Arguments of 
attorneys were made in court this afternoon, Judge Chloupek presided.

PHILIPPEN WILL IS RULED OUT BY COURT
Decision on Rejecting Paper - Court Scores Children
On the grounds that Fred Phillipen, deceased, one of the testators to the joint will of Fred and 
Sobina Phillipen did not want to sign the paper and had not directed its provisions, Judge 
Chloupek in probate court today denied the petition to probate the will, which was objected to 
by two daughters of Mrs. Phillipen and the surviving testator herself.
In the decision the court scores the children of Mrs. Phillipen for the unseemly strife over a small 
sum,, it being said that the contest involved only $200, a previous will nine years ago, which now 
stands being identical with the new will except its disposition of a legacy of $200.  Mrs. Phillipen 
who is 94 years of age appeared as a witness in court and the opinion says that the children 
should have shown more consideration for their aged parent.

WILL RULING REVERSED
Circuit Jude (sic) Kirwan has reversed County Judge Chloupek in the Fritz Phillipen will case. Judge Chloupek held that the last will of the deceased is illegal and Judge Kirwan now rules that it is a valid will and orders that it be probated. Mr. Phillipen executed a will in 1905 which is admittedly valid. In 1914 he drew up a new one and the only change he made was in the disposition of $200 of about $4500. The grounds of Alleged illegality was want of Testamentary capacity and undue influence. The $200 change started a family quarrel which was carried to the courts. The contest on the new will was instituted by three of Mr. Phillipen's children. The widow is still alive, aged 95.

HERBERT P. PLANTICO    

IS INSTANTLY KILLED AS CAR STRIKES TRUCK
Companion of Local Man Badly Hurt in Accident South of County Line 
Early today.
Herbert P. Plantico, 42, this city, was instantly killed and his companion, 
Charles Bohman of Sheboygan, was seriously injured early this morning 
one and one-half miles south of the Manitowoc county line when the 
automobile in which they were riding crashed into a stalled truck blocking 
Highway 141. The accident occurred near the Wunsch cheese factory 
and the automobile was completely demolished while the truck was 
badly damaged.
Plantico and his companion were returning to Sheboygan after Bohman 
had brought the local man here for a weekend visit with Mrs. Plantico 
and her two children, living at 614 Chicago street. They left Manitowoc 
shortly after midnight, according to information received here, and had 
nearly reached their destination when they crashed into the parked truck 
of Edward Demoulin of Luxemburg. The motor of the car was pushed 
through the dash board and the entire body of the car was sheared along 
its entire length.
Skull Fractured
An examination after the accident revealed that Plantico sustained a 
double skull fracture in addition to being badly cut and scarred by flying 
glass in the impact of the collision. He was probably instantly killed. 
Bohman was unconscious and was found to be badly cut by glass and 
was removed to the St. Nicholas hospital at Sheboygan here it was said 
his injuries are serious. 
Demoulin and his helper, Peter Dunton, also of Luxemburg, leaped to 
safety when they saw the crash was impending and escaped without injuries.
Claim Warning Issued
Held at the county jail at Sheboygan until this morning, Demoulin told 
Sheriff Ernest Zolhma that the overloaded condition of his truck made it 
impossible for him to pull to the shoulder of the road when a rear tire 
blew to force making of immediate repairs. He said that he noticed the 
approach of the oncoming automobile and declared that he sought vainly 
to warn the driver of the danger of the crash, leaping to safety just a 
moment before the collision occurred.
The truck, it was said, was loaded to more than twice its rated capacity 
with butchered calves being taken to Chicago for disposal.
Will Hold No Inquest
Release of Demoulin was ordered this morning by District Attorney 
Robert Runge who declared that the evidence tended to show that the 
crash was accidental and that the truck owner had done everything 
possible to avoid the fatal accident. He also declared that no inquest 
would be held.
Body at Sheboygan
The remains of Mr. Plantico were taken to the Robert H. Kroos funeral 
home at Sheboygan and are to be brought to Manitowoc late today for 
burial. Services will be held from the Pfeffer Funeral Home at 8:30 o’clock 
and from the St. Boniface church at 9 o’clock Wednesday morning, Father 
Kersten officiating. The body will be in state at Pfeffer’s from Tuesday 
noon until the time of the funeral.
Was life-long Resident
Mr. Plantico was a life-long resident of Manitowoc and was born here on 
September 28, 1889. He attended the graded schools of the city and later 
learned the butcher trade, a vocation he followed at various shops here 
until several months ago when he assumed the position as butcher in the J. 
Bohsman? Food Market at Sheboygan. He made his home at Sheboygan 
with his companion of last night and spent his weekends in Manitowoc.
He was married in 1916 to Miss Eleanor Eiarmann? who with two children, 
Grace and Ruth; his aged parents; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Plantico, this city; 
six brothers, Charles, Hugo, Alderman Chester A., Victor and Earl of 
Manitowoc and Reuben of Two Rivers, and five sisters, Mrs. Henry Uhler, 
Chicago; Mrs. Reinhardt Zeckel, Mrs. George Clark and Mrs. Albert 
Schneider of Manitowoc and Mrs. Cyril Niquette, Two Rivers, survive him.
News of the death of Mr. Plantico proved a severe shock owing to its 
extremely tragic nature and the aged parents could not be consoled.

THEOBOLD POH

DROPS DEAD ON DANCE HALL FLOOR
Theobold Poh, Victim of Heart Failure, While at Social Party
LIVED ONLY A MINUTE
Seated on Bench to Rest After Dance; He Fell Over Dead -- Was Well Known Youth in City -- Details of Tragedy
Participating in the joys of the dance one minute, cold in death the next was the fate of Theobold Poh and well known youth of the city, who died suddenly on the dance floor of the Schmidt LakeShore resort south of the city Sunday night. Death resulted almost instantly and the body was immediately brought to the city. No inquest was held.
Poh, with a large nuber of other young people of the city was present to attend a dancing party arranged by the management of the resort and apparently in excellent health and spirits. He had participated in several dances and had just finished a waltz and had taken a seat on a bench which was stationed at the side of the hall. turning to speak to a friend, Poh raised his hand, gave one gasp and fell from his seat, dead. Friends immediately rushed to lend assistance but the young man was beyond earthly aid and died almost instantly. 
Medical aid was summoned from the city and a request was made for the ambulance which, upon arrival, conveyed the body to the city. A report was given to the police of the death and the district attorney was also notified but an inquest was not deemed necessary, the death having occurred in the presence of many persons and from natural causes evidently. A brother of the dead man, John Poh, employed at the Schmidt Livery assumed charge of the body. Poh, who was 25 and had always made his home in this city, was a cripple, having lost his hand when a boy by having it caught in a circular saw while employed in a mill in this city. For several years they boy had been employed at the Henry Schmidt livery as a driver and was later an employee of coal companies of the city. He was an industrious boy and hard working. One brother, John and a sister, Miss Anna, survive him. Poh had made his home of late at the Wilda Boarding house on Buffalo St.  The death of young Poh on the floor of the dance hall is the second incident of this kind to occur in the county within the past few years, the other case being that of a woman who died while participating in a dance at Two Rivers two years ago.

He felt fine and healthy and had just finished a dance and was talking with an acquaintance, Albert Karnofsky, who also works in the loan office, and during the conversation he fell unconscious to the floor. The shocked on-lookers carried the man out, but he was already dead. An ambulance was summoned by telephone and the body taken to the funeral parlor of Urbanek & Wattawa. A coroners jury decided that he died of a heart attack, that he had been ill with heart trouble for several years, and that his father also died of a heart attack. Theobold Poh was 25 years old and as a boy had lost a hand in a local sawmill. He compensated through hard work. He is survived by several sisters.

ARTHUR PRINCE   

Drag Lake To Recover Bodies of Two Youths
Other Buddy Directs Search
Merlin Foreman is Out of Danger at Hospital
Coast guard crews from Two Rivers and Kewaunee continued dragging 
operations off Silver Creek park today in an effort to recover the bodies 
of James Handl, 17, and Arthur Prince, 18, Lincoln high school seniors, 
who drowned late Wednesday afternoon when their hunting skiff filled 
with water.
The third occupant of the tiny craft, Merlin Foreman, 18, of 521 South 
26th street, remained a patient at the Holy Family hospital, where he 
was taken after being brought ashore by Sgt. Geoge Tulach and Office 
Frank Orechekowski, in the police boat. He is out of danger.
Standing on the shore of the lake this morning, directing the coast guard 
crews in their dragging operations was William Hofslund, 15, of 836 South 
18th street, high school sophomore, who may have escaped the fate of 
Prince and Handl because he did not have a hunting license. He remained 
on the shore when the three others put off in their tiny craft in an effort to 
bag some ducks seen flying over the lake.
Use Planes in Search
This morning Police Chief J.J. Kuplic contacted the airport and Manager 
Dean Critek arranged to send up two planes which circled the area around 
Silver Creek park for an hour. The fliers reported that there were many 
rocks protruding from the lake bottom which made it difficult to discern if 
either of the two bodies might be there.
Coast guardsmen also reported that the jagged rocks broke off the hooks 
of their grappling lines many times during operations yesterday and today.
Relates “experiences”
No trace of the boat was found today. The Two Rivers coast guard crew 
started dragging operations yesterday afternoon but was forced to quit 
when darkness set in at 5 o’clock. Joined by the Kewaunee crew, they 
were back at daybreak today.
From his bed in the hospital this morning, Foreman, appearing and feeling 
much improved over his “shakes” of yesterday when he was unable to 
control his violent shivering, related the details of the tragedy as far as he 
could remember.
Prince, Handl and himself pushed off from the southside shore early yesterday 
afternoon in a duck skiff, foreman said. After waiting a time, some ducks 
approached which they shot at and missed. Shortly afterwards, they 
noticed the boat was beginning to ship water.
Boat Fills, Turns Over
“We had got out beyond the protection of the bulb and a strong west wind 
was whipping up the water. He continued. “Then when we saw the skiff 
was taking in water we started for shore, but didn’t seem to be able to
make much headway against the wind. I guess we started to drift backwards 
and we began shouting to Hofslund (Lincoln high school sophomore 
William Hofslund) who was standing on shore.”
“Finally the skiff was completely under the surface of the water and it 
turned over.” Foreman related. “We grabbed onto the overturned boat 
and hung on, Prince and Handl toward the back and I on the front end. 
Then Prince pushed off to swim to shore but after going a short distance, 
he came back.”
“We had two life preservers in the skiff and Prince and Handl each used 
one. They managed to get one arm into them but that was all,” he said.
“Finally, Handl started losing his grip and slipping off the rear end of the 
boat.” He continued. “Prince and I pulled him back a couple times. The 
cold water was numbing to our hands.”
Prince a Good Swimmer
“The last I remember was the three of us still hanging onto the side of the 
skiff,” he recounted. “I don’t remember anyone going under except Handl 
and we pulled him up again. I don’t remember seeing the police or being 
rescued.”
At the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Prince at 1808 Western Avenue, 
Arthur’s parents, grieved and shocked, couldn’t quite understand how 
their boy could have drowned.
“He was a good swimmer,” Mrs. Prince said. “He earned three cards 
for junior life-saving at Lincoln high school. Perhaps in trying to help one 
of the other boys he became weakened and went under,” she suggested.
Mr. Prince told of how his son had run out of the house, forgetting his life 
preserver in his haste to get started when Foreman called for him.
“Arthur had placed the preserver on the kitchen table while he was getting
ready to leave,” he recalled.  "When Merlin, his best friend came, he rushed 
out and left the preserver there on the table.”
Enjoyed Hunting, Fishing
“He was always that way about hunting,” Arthur’s father said. “He was 
interested in many sports but his hobby was hunting and fishing. He was 
a big boy,
(Continued on Page 23, Col. 5)
DRAG LAKE TO RECOVER BODIES
(Continued from page one)
five feet eleven inches tall and weighed about 155 pounds and had always 
been well able to take care of himself. Other boys sort of looked up to 
him too,” he recalled proudly, with tears in his eyes.
Arthur was born in 1928 and was a senior at Lincoln high school. He 
graduated from St. Paul’s parochial school. Immediate survivors include 
his parents, three sisters, Dolores, Lorraine and Bernice and a brother, 
Harold.
With Andre Handl of 931 South 23rd street, James’ father, just back from 
the lakeshore where dragging operations were under way this morning, he 
and his wife and their daughters, Doris and Barbara were still barely able 
to comprehend the tragedy that had overtaken their son and brother.
“It’s very hard to believe that this has happened to our only son,” Mrs. 
Handl said, tears welling to her eyes. “When he left us he said they were 
going to Shoto and told us not to worry about anything.”
First Hunting Trip
“This was his first hunting trip with his own gun,” she recalled. “It was 
only one of the first few times he had been out with the other two boys 
whom he met two weeks ago while the three were working as pin-spotters 
at the Elks club bowling alleys.”
“He was a great sportsman,” she said. “He was crazy about hunting and 
fishing. It was his ambition to become a forest ranger after graduating 
from high school where he was a senior.”
James, who delivered papers for the Herald-Times on a South Ninth street 
route for three years, graduated from St. Boniface school. He was born 
in 1929.
“He wanted his 12-year-old substitute to take over his paper route when 
he gave it up at the end of school next June,” Mrs. Handl recalled. “We 
would like it if the route could go to this boy now.”
Prince and Foreman were also former carrier boys for the Herald-Times.
Hofslund Talks
Hofslund last night gave his version of the drowning to Frank Tomcheck, 
captain of detectives. He said the four boys had fashioned some home 
made duck decoys on Tuesday, planning on a hunting trip yesterday 
afternoon, when the high school was closed ahead of the night school 
sessions later.
Shortly before 1 o’clock, he said, Handl, Prince, and Foremen picked him 
up in a car with the duck boat strapped to the top. They had three shotguns, 
a pair of binoculars and two life preservers. They drove to Silver Creek 
park and carried the boat to the lake shore near the bathhouse. Noticing 
some ducks flying over Handl, Prince and Foreman decided to go out. 
Hofslund said he had no hunting license and remained ashore.
When the boat was about a half mile off shore, Hofslund told Captain 
Tomchek, he saw a puff of smoke and heard a shot. He noticed the water 
getting rougher and said the trio turned the boat around and seemed 
headed for shore. Suddenly, he said, the boat settled and he noticed all 
three boys in the water. Taking off his shoes, Hofslund waded out into 
the lake up to his neck.
Finds Only a Shell Box
Noticing his lower legs becoming numb, Hofslund said he returned to 
shore, donned his shoes, and ran up the bank to spread the alarm.
When the call came to the station Police Chief J. J. Kuplic went to 
Silver Creek park and noticing the plight of the boys, drove back to the 
city in search of a power boat. He secured the McMullen and Pitz 
motor boat to make the run to the scene but when it reached there, 
Foreman was ashore and there was no sign of the two other boys.
All that was found was an old shell box, floating in the water. It had 
been used by one of the boys to sit on while the other two paddled the 
craft while kneeling in the boat.
Responding to the ambulance call were Officers Milton Larson and 
Melvin Reinhart and also Jerome Sadusky. Also on the shore to assist 
when Officer Tulach and Orchekowski brought in Foreman was 
Officer Elmer Ross. The latter was out today with the Two Rivers 
coast guard crew.

CLOTILDE PRONDZINSKI

Clotilde “Cloee” Prondzinski (nee McCracken) was born in Norfolk NE. The family later moved to Fargo, ND and then to the Twin Cities where she eventually met her future husband, John Prondzinski.
Cloee and John came to the Two Rivers area to retire in 1978; however, neither one retired from life which is evident both by their past involvement and caring commitment to the community. The Minnesota natives met while both were attending the Minneapolis Institute School of Art. Married in 1948 they resided mainly in Chicago and Wilmette, IL, before moving to Two Rivers. John preceded Cloee in death in 2006 at the age of 89.
At one time Cloee was a floating art teacher in the Catholic elementary schools in Chicago, Evanston, Wilmette and Winnetka. After her eight year teaching stint, she accepted a position at the National College of Education Graduate school where she put together yearly brochures and soon became Office Manager and Executive Secretary to the Dean. This position lasted another eight years until she and John moved to Two Rivers. 
In Two Rivers, Cloee soon became involved in the now defunct Lakeshore Palettiers Art Club and the Rogers Street Fishing Village where the Palettiers were invited to open an arts and crafts gallery in 1986. At that time Cloee was asked to become a member of the Fishing Village Board of Directors and at one time served as Secretary and Chairman of the Board. While a member she initiated, wrote and published the first issues of the Fishing Village Quarterly Newsletter. She also served as Co-Director of the Palettiers Gallery for several years. 
Cloee entered annual art shows at the Rahr West Museum and sold several of her paintings, some to out-of-state visitors. She also enjoyed writing, and some of her articles, letters and poetry were published by the former Whitecap Writers Club of which she was a member. She designed the clubs logo and did several illustrations as well as the articles for their book, Life’s Kaleidoscope. She also had one of her winning poems accepted and published in the book, “Between the Raindrops” in the National Library of Poetry. She also designed the logo for Fatzo’s Sub Shop which is still in existence. Cloee was an honorary member of St. Peter the Fisherman Catholic Women’s Club and a member of the Two Rivers Historical Society, Lakeshore Humane Society and Two Rivers Senior Center. 
She is survived by her three beloved daughters: Cora Culbert Kuyava (John) an accomplished artist who runs her own art sales business in Chisholm, MN; Mary Beth Prondzinski, Director of Collections at the Fairbanks Museum and Planetarium in St. Johnsbury, VT and Stephanie (Kevin) Kelly, elementary grades teacher at St. Athanasius School in Evanston, IL; eight grandchildren: Marci Anderson, Heather, Emma, Amanda, Jed and Chloe Culbert and P.J. (Yea-Vonne) Kelly and Bryan (Mallory) Kelly; also six great grandchildren: Megan, Jaustin (sic), Autumn, Logan, Olivia, Annabel; and two great great grandchildren: Zika and Theodore; one nephew: Thomas (Mary) McCracken, VA. Cloee is also survived by cousins, other relatives and friends. She was also preceded in death by three sisters and three brothers; and dearest and closest friend, Elaine Belonger.
Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, March 1, 2014, at St. Peter the Fisherman Catholic Church in Two Rivers. Officiating at the Mass of Christian Burial will be Rev. Tom Renebeau. Entombment will follow at Calvary Chapel Mausoleum in Manitowoc.
The family will greet relatives and friends on Wednesday evening, March 12, 2014, at the Klein & Stangel Funeral Home, Two Rivers from 5:00 p.m. until 700 p.m. 
Visitation will continue on Thursday at St. Peter the Fisherman Catholic Church from 9;30 a.m. until 10:15 a.m. 
At one time Cloee asked that we thank all of her friends who are still with us for their friendship and love which meant so much to her especially. Patti Niemojuski, her pretend fourth daughter who showed her as much love and assistance as any real daughter would, and Marilyn and Bob Salta for all their goodheartedness and love, Sister Pat Touhey (graciousness personified) and above all, her heartfelt thanks go out to Dr. Cedric Thayer and his nurse, Karen Schroeder, who took care of and put up with her for so many years with so much patience, kindness and understanding.
Expressions of sympathy may be sent to the family by visiting www.kleinandstangel.com 
The family wishes to thank the loving staff of Harmony Living Center, Two Rivers for watching over and gently caring for Cloee these past two and a half years.

JOHN N. PRONDZINSKI

John N. Prondzinski, age 89, of 7106 County Highway O, Two Rivers, died Sunday morning, Jan. 8, 2006, at Shady Lane Nursing Home, Manitowoc. John was a quiet and unassuming man with a wry sense of humor, who loved his home, his family, his dog and his art. He always said that he painted for his own pleasure and for no other reason. If people liked his work, fine, but if not, it didn't bother him. He was none the less pleased whenever a painting was sold. He was born in Winnipeg, Canada, of American parents, on March 17, 1916, the ""Polish St. Pat."" He spent most of his youth in Minneapolis, where he met his wife-to-be, while both were students at the Minneapolis Institute School of Art. After school, he obtained a position in Aberdeen, S.D., as cartoonist and layout man for the town newspaper. From there he went to Bismark, N.D., and continued the same work for their newspaper. During World War II, he spent three years in the army's Fifth Division Signal Corps, serving in both Africa and Italy.
