LOUIS STESANSKI GUN SHOT IS FATAL TO BOY Polish Youth Dead at Hospital; a Suicide Victim at 27 Years A gun shot wound, self inflicted in a moment of temporary insanity, caused the death at the hospital in this city of Louis Stesanski, a Polish youth who had been employed at the Maribel Caves hotel at Cooperstown, Stesanski's death occuring at noon today, after he had lingered in agony since Friday night, when he attempted suicide in his room at the Maribel hotel. Stesanski was brought to this city Saturday but there was no hope for his recovery and his death was momentarily expected. The youth was 27 years of age and had been in America but a short time having been employed at the Maribel hotel for two months. Stesanski was found on the floor of his home after the report of a gun shot was heard in the hotel Friday night. He is a son of a brewery superintendent in Poland and his father has been notified of his death. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Mon., Apr. 3, 1911 ********** Louis Stesanski, the Polish youth who attempted suicide at the Maribel Caves hotel and later died from his injuries at the hospital in this city, was buried at county expense today, the body being interred at the Polish Cemetery. The young man was not known to have any friends and nothing was heard from relatives in the old country and the county took charge of the body. A sensational report that there was some mystery connected with the case that Dist. Atty Healy and Sheriff Pellet had taken up for investigation proved untrue, the authorities declaring that the case was one of suicide. Four persons at Maribel hotel heard the shot and rushed to Stesanski's room and saw the unfortunate youth with the gun in his hand. Dist. Atty Healy directed that the body be taken in charge by the county board's poor committee and buried and this was done. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Thurs., Apr. 6, 1911 ******** *Note: He was placed here because obituary states he is buried here.

TRAIN - CAR WRECK FIVE DIE AS TRAIN CRASHES INTO AUTO AT CLOVER TODAY TWO WOMEN AND 3 CHILDREN HURLED TO DEATH BY TRAIN Ten Persons in Light Touring Car Struck by Limited Leaving Manitowoc at 8 A.M., Victims Hurled 90 Feet; Probes Are Underway DEAD WOMEN ARE SISTERS Four persons were instantly killed, a fifth sustained injuries which ended fatally as she was being brought into the hospital and a sixth was so seriously injured that her death is expected when a Ford touring car containing 10 persons was struck by "The Fox," the gas-electric limited train, leaving Manitowoc at 8 o'clock this morning on a town road one-half mile south of Clover, shortly after 8 o'clock this morning. THE DEAD Mrs. Frank Mrotek, 32; Her daughter, Gertrude, 5; Mrs. Victor Powlisz, 26; Her daughter, Marion, 2 1/2; Martha Vandebusch, 12 THE INJURED Mrs. Peter Vandebusch, 36, driver of the car; shock and bruises; Her daughter, Leona, 14, basal skull fracture and broken jaw, may not survive; Eleanor Mrotek, 7, bruises; Dorothy Vandebusch, 5, possible skull fracture; Donald Vandebusch, 1, possible skull fracture. Hurled 90 Feet Bodies of the dead and injured were flung a distance of 90 feet as the fast south-bound train struck the rear of the 1923 Ford touring car and dragged it for a distance of about 30 feet. The front of the car was not damaged, the engine and front wheels being in good condition but the rear was telescoped into the front of the automobile and was entirely wrecked. ********* TWO IN SERIOUS CONDITION No improvement in the condition of the accident victims of the train-car crash at Clover this morning was noted at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon and two of the Vandebusch girls, Leona, 14, and Dorothy, 5, were still unconscious. Leona is the more seriously injured of the two and it is said may not survive her injuries. Train Returns Victims Immediately after the crash, Engineer Kitzerow brought his train of an engine and three coaches back to Manitowoc and the work of identifying the dead and maimed was started as city and county authorities launched their investigations. All of Party Related All of the accident and death victims were relatives who were on their way to the farm home of Frank Frozena, town of Newton, to assist him in picking beans on the farm fields. Two of dead, Mrs. Powlisz (somtimes spelled Povalish), and Mrs. Mrotek are sisters of Frozena as is Mrs. Vandebusch, the driver of the automobile. The children are cousins. Only one member of the three families, other than the husbands who were at work in this city, escaped without injury, Leonard Vandebusch, 14, having remained at the Frozena home over night. Unaware of Accident None of the husbands were aware of the terrible tragedy, the worst auto- mobile accident in the history of this city, all of them living here, until some time after it occurred and they were informed by a Herald-News man, and police officer. They were sent to the hospital by Detective Frank Tomchek of the police department. Scenes of Horror At the hospital, tragic scenes were enacted as the families sought their dead and missing and it was almost two hours after the accident that definite idenification of the victims could be made. Attempts to interview Mrs. Vandebusch at the hospital were fruitless, the driver of the death car being overcome by the tragedy as she felt she were partly to blame for the meeting. Visibility Is Clear The road at the grade crossing runs directly south and meets the railroad tracks at an angle, the later extending in southwesterly direction from the intersection. There is no warning gong at the crossing, the road being little traveled. No houses or buildings obstruct the view but with the top of the car apparently up it would be difficult to look back as the tracks approach at an agle (sic) of almost 45 degres, going to an apex where the road and tracks meet. Order Investigation A sweeping investigation was immediately ordered by Coroner W.C. Kemper, who with Sheriff Herman Carstens, was at the scene of the accident within a few minutes after it occurred. An inquest jury was to be sworn sometime today, the bodies of the dead were to be viewed and the taking of testimony will be started as soon as the victims of the accident can testify. No eye witnesses could be located with the exception of Engineer Kitzerow who would make no statement after filing his report with railroad officials. Conductor Charles Sherman, former Manitowoc resident now living in Milwaukee, was in charge of the train. All South Side Residents All of the occupants in the light car lived in the city of Manitowoc, the family of Peter Vandebusch residing at 1105 South 10th street; the Powlisz (or Povalish) family at 1125 S. Tenth street, while the Mrotek family lived at 1620 Madison street. Notify Relatives Identity of the parties was not definitely established until after Detective Tomchek recognized the driver of the automobile at the hospital and from almost incoherent remarks regarding "her dead sister," the detective started on the search and within a half hour had sent the husbands to the hospital to identify the dead and injured. Canning Co. Flooded With Calls First news of the tragedy reached the city in a message to the office of Sheriff Carstens. Next came word to the police station to have both city ambulances at the Northwestern depot here when the gasoline propelled train was backed up here with the victims of the grade crossing crash. First reports which stated that a truck loaded with bean pickers had been struck and that many had been killed resulted in the telephone at the office of the Wisconsin Pea Canners Co., being swamped with calls. Parents and relatives who had children enroute to the bean fields this morning all began calling the company's office to get details. The company was without any information and this only added the confusion. The scene at the Northwestern station, after the train backed in here with the dead and dying almost beggars description. The ten occupants of the car, four of whom were already dead were all in the baggage compartment. Two or three volunteers from passengers on the train were assisting the train crew as much as possible in giving first aid to the victims but the task was a well nigh hopeless one. The city ambulances were backed up to the baggage car of the train and those less seriously hurt were rushed to the hospital at once. For a time entrance could not be gained to the baggage room. Bodies of those already dead had to be placed on trucks on the station platform until attention was given to those still living. Crowds filled the streets leading to the depot as the curious hearing of the accident rushed there. Many of those were parents who had children out in the bean fields and had heard the first reports that the train had struck a truckload of pickers. Four were dead upon arrival at the depot and were taken to the Wattawa & Urbanek mortuary in the company ambulance and in a delivery wagon which was passed into service as the other six were taken to the hospital. Hundreds of morbidly curious rushed to the Chicago & North Western depot when it became known that the death train was returning to Manitowoc and a constant stream of men, women and children were in the baggage room hampering officials as they sought to cover the dead. No Funeral Arrangements So stricken were members of the families that it was impossible to learn any of the details of their arrangements for services. Almost entire families were wipped out in the accident, the Frank Mrotek family of four losing a wife and daughter, with the other child being injured; the wife and only daughter of Victor Powlisz were killed, one daughter of the Peter Vandebusch family was killed, two were seriously injured, one escaped with minor injuries and the father and one son were not in the accident. Manitowoc Herald News, Friday, August 1, 1930 P.1 ******* CORONER'S JURY SELECTED TODAY TO PROBE ACCIDENT Members of the jury selected to hear testimony in an effort to fix responsibility for the tragedy at Clover this morning are Fred Mahnke, Elmer Haupt, Emil Streich, Andrew Killan, Joseph Kortas and Herman Kieselhorst. Their names were drawn by the sheriff upon instructions of the coroner. The bodies are to be viewed this afternoon and the testimony will be taken after the crash victims are able to leave the hospital. ******* SINGLE LOT FOR 4 CRASH VICTIMS DEAD OF WORST CRASH IN YEARS BURIED MONDAY Four of Five Dead to Be Buried in Same Lot; Two injured Still Unconscious Today Manitowoc's most pitiful funeral cortege in the history of the city will wind its way through city streets on Black Monday when four of the five victims of the crossing accident at Clover yesterday morning will be buried in a single grave at St. Mary's cemetery. The procession will then continue to Calvary cemetery where the Vandebusch girl will be buried. As preparations for the funeral were being completed today, it was learned that two of the injured, Donald Vandebusch, 1, and Eleanor Mrotek, 7, had been able to leave the hospital yesterday afternoon and today as their injuries were only minor. Leona Vandebusch, 14, and Dorothy Vandebusch, 5, continue to remain unconscious at the Holy Family hospital and the terrible shock of the tragedy was taking toll upon Mrs. Peter Vandebusch, the driver of the death car, and the condition was being aggravated as details of the accident occurred to her at the hospital. Tells Story of Tragedy In vivid language, Eleanor Mrotek, who lost her mother and sister in the accident, told her father of the scenes enacted immediately before and after the tragedy. The driver of the death car had not noticed the approach of the train, Eleanor first observing it from her vantage place in the front seat. She called to Mrs. Vandebusch and others took up the call to halt the automobile but it was too late-the crash occurred in a moment. Little Eleanor, suffering from bruises, told of crawling out of the wreckage, of seeing her sister lying dead across a fender and of seeing others in the party in heaps in the immediate vicinity. Mrs. Vandebusch, ignoring her own injuries went from person to person and as she realized the terrible nature of the accident, she became hysterical and all the way to Manitowoc was suffering terribly from the mental anguish. Bodies Are Mangled An expert from Chicago was called here last night to assist local undertakers in rebuilding the features of the mangled vicitms. Mrs. Victor Powlisz and Martha Vandebusch, 12, being the most cut up as others went to their deaths because of internal and other injuries. During all of last night and again today, several undertakers were at work preparing the bodies so they could be taken to the respective homes late this afternoon and they will remain there until funeral services. Tell of Seating Arrangement Four persons, Mrs. Vandebusch, the driver; Leona Vandebusch with her one year old brother, Donald, on her lap and Miss Eleanor Mrotek were occupants of the front seat of the 1923 touring car while Mrs. Powlisz, 26, Mrs. Mrotek, 32, Gertude Mrotek, 5, Marian Powlisz, 2 1/2, Dorothy Vandebusch, 5, and Martha Vandebusch, 12 were in the rear seat. All of the dead were occupants of the rear seat, the only one seated in the front seat to be seriously injured being Leona Vandebusch who is still unconscious at the hospital. The sixth occupant of the rear seat, Dorothy Vandebusch, 5, is also still unconscious. Funeral Services It is planned to start the funeral procession at the Peter Vandebusch home, 1105 S. Tenth street, at about 8 o'clock Monday morning. From there, the procession will go to the Mrotek home, 1620 Madison street, where the bodies of Mrs. Mrotek and her daughter will be received, the procession then winding its way to the Victor Powlisz home, 1225 S. Eighteenth street, where Mrs. Powlisz and their only child will join the other dead to be taken to St. Mary's church were funeral services will be held. Solemn requiem high mass services have been arranged for 9 o'clock. (The following is in squared off box.) TOY AUTO AND TRAIN IN WRECK Playthings, which had served to amuse and entertain the tragedy victims while they were happily playing at their homes before going on the fateful trip, were strewn along the railroad tracks with the other wreckage yesterday at Clover. Two of them stood out in silent mockery of what had happened. They were a toy automobile and the locomotive of a toy train. Following the services at the church, the four bodies will be taken to the St. Mary's church cemetery and all will be buried in the same lot. After the services at St. Mary's, the cortege will continue to Calvary cemetery where services for Martha Vandebusch are to be held. Shock is Severe One The terrible nature and the completeness of the disasters which almost wiped out three famileis (sic), today still gripped the members of the relationship so that little of coherent details could be secured. The tragedy is the worst automobile accident in the history of the county and records disclose it to be the worst grade crossing accident in this section in ten years. The accident which took the greatest number of lives in one crash took place near New London when six residents of Sheboygan county were killed. Manitowoc Herald News, Saturday, August 2, 1930 P.1 ********* NOTE: Also on the front page of August 2, 1930 P.1, are two photos of the train accident with the following under the photos: Two views taken by a Herald-News photographer of the wrecked light automobile which caused the death of five of its ten occupants at Clover yesterday graphically show how close was the margin of safety. The upper view shows the front of the car to be practically undamaged, the tires are still solid and no damage has been caused to the hood and front fenders. Badly wrecked condition of the rear and top of the automobile shows how severe was the jolt which carried it only about 30 feet is shown in the upper and lower photos, the lower photo in additon showing that the car was only carried a slight distance from the roadway in the background. The absence of trees on either side of the track tended to make the visibility clear but the ability to see approaching trains is diminished by the angle at which roadway and tracks meet. Although the customary "Look Out for the Cars" sign is displayed there is no warning going at the intersection.
