JOSEF ZAGRODNIK

WENT DOWN WITH BOAT
Manitowoc Youth and His Two Rivers Brother-in-law Lose Live at Sheboygan
FISHING SMACK IS CAPSIZED
Northeasterly Gale Strikes Boat Within Short Distance From Shore-
Accident Monday Afternoon
By the capsizing of a Two Rivers fishing smack, which occurred less than
half a mile out from Sheboygan late Monday afternoon, two lives were lost,
one of the victims being Martin Zigrodnik a youth of this city and the
other his brother-in-law, Florian Monka, of Two Rivers. The fatality was
witnessed by people on the pier and a tug was at once sent to the rescue, 
but too late to lend assistance, the men having gone down before the
scene was reached.
Monka, who was a fisherman at Two Rivers, has recently placed a new gasoline
engine into the boat and Monday morning, accompanied by a young Zigrodnik
had set out to place the nets for a catch. At noon quite a sea prevailed
and it is supposed that the boat was unable to make her way back, and 
drifted southward, the wind coming from the northeast, until near Sheboygan
where an attempt was made to run to port. This was partly successful but
the heavy sea carried the boat on the reef just north of the breakwater.
Search for the bodies and boat was conducted, but all that could be recovered
was two net boxes and several bouys.
The boat in which the men put out was thirty feet in length, seven feet beam
and of Mackinaw build. It is thought probable that Zigrodnik became seasick
and was unable to assist in managing the boat and that Monka could do
nothing alone. News of the accident reached here in the evening, but it was
not until late that the identity of the unfortunate men was established.
Zigrodnik was a youth of 18 years of age and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. A.
Zigrodnik, who reside on the South Side. Monka was married and is survived
by several brothers and sisters. The loss entailed in the sinking of the
boat is $900.

Two Men Drowned
Florian Monka of Two Rivers and his brother-in-law, Frank Zegranik of 
Manitowoc, were drowned Monday by the sinking of a fishing boat in which 
they were trying to make Sheboygan harbor. Monka was 35 years of age 
and Zegranik 17.

NO TRACE OF BODIES
Of Men Who Went Down In Fishing Smack at Sheboygan Monday.
Up to the present time nothing more has been heard or seen of the 
two men who lost their lives by the foundering of their fishing boat 
while trying to enter the Sheboygan harbor in the severe storm of 
Monday. Relatives immediately hastened to Sheboygan from Two Rivers 
on receipt of the information but on account of the high sea running 
and large ice flows coming down the lake it was impossible to do 
anything toward searching for the bodies or the craft.
Two Rivers city has for years been the home of hundreds of fisherman 
from the ranks of whom many men were selected to serve in the United 
States life saving service, and at one time every captain in charge 
of a station from Sturgeon Bay to South Chicago was a Two Riverite. 
The accident at Sheboygan is the first of its kind to occur since 
the year 1881, when two fishermen lost their lives by drowning while 
coming from Algoma.
Several pieces of the Two Rivers fishing smack lost off Sheboygan 
break water Monday have been picked up in the river there. One of 
the pieces was part of the side of the boat and gun wale and another 
was a part of the spar that attached to the spar seat. Another 
article was a gallon can filled with oil, also a washboard. The parts 
of the boat were all painted a led (sic) color which corresponds with 
the color of the boat. A great many expressed the belief that the boat 
would remain intact but this seems a quite conclusion evidence that it 
has gone to pieces.

A FLOATER IS FOUND
Body, Supposed To Be That of Florian Monka Picked Up Near Sheboygan
WAS IN WATER MANY WEEKS
Trace of Two Rivers Fisherman Who Met Death Off a Fishing Smack-Body Badly
Decomposed
The body of a man was found floating at the foot of Ashland Avenue, Sheboygan
at about noon Thursday. It is supposed that it is that of Florian Monka, the
Two Rivers fisherman who lost his life with his brother-in-law Joseph Zigrodnik
off that harbor on March 18th. Mrs. M.O. Galaway, wife of Assemblyman Galaway
noticed the corpse floating in the lake and called the attention of the
authorities to the discovery. The coroner was notified and a jury consisting
of Mr. O. Galaway, Henry Wedemeier, Frank Skelton, Al Schwartz, Will Capelli
and Frank Dougherty was called. After viewing the remains they adjourned until
nine o'clock this morning and in the meantime Two Rivers officials were
notified.
The body was badly decomposed and the features well nigh unrecognizable. It
was clad in corderoy trousers, blue overalls, half soled shoes and a rough
jacket. As there has been no other drowning near Sheboygan of late and as the
corpse seems to be that of a middle aged man it is fairly certain that it is 
that of Monka. Indications also point to the fact that the floater had been
in the water since spring.
It will be remembered that the two men were drowned from a gasoline fishing
smack on the reef north of the breakwater during a wild spring storm. The 
craft which capsized at the time was a Mackinac boat, twenty-six feet long
and seven feet wide. Monka's companion, Zigrodnik was but a boy and not
accustomed to the water and the presumption is that he was unable to aid
his brother-in-law much in the management of the boat. The boy resided in
this city and was the son of Mrs. A. Zigrodnik who resides on the South Side.
An attempt had been made by Monka to set his nets but he drifted away from
the fishing spot and with the youth met death. Search was made for the
bodies at the time but until Thursday no trace of them had ever been found.

********
AFTER MANY DAYS - ZIGRODNEK
The body washed ashore at Sheboygan Thursday was identified as the 
younger of the two unfortunate fisherman, Joseph Zigrodnek instead 
of Florian Monka as was first thought. The shoes worn by the young 
men were means by which this feet was revealed the corpse being 
badly decomposed. A sad scene was presented at the depot Friday 
when the body was brought to the city for burial. The mother could 
scarcely restrain her grief and all were greatly affected. The 
funeral occurred from the Polish church, Rev. Krzwonos officiating, 
interment was at the Polish cemetery. The circumstances surrounding 
the case were indeed sad and the bereaved parents have the sympathy 
of the community.

The Lake Gives Up its Dead
The Bodies of Florian Monka and Joseph Zigrodnek(sic) Recovered and 
Given Christian Burial
The body of Florian Monka, who with his brother-in-law was drowned while 
trying to enter the Sheboygan harbor last spring during a terrible gale 
in an open gasoline fishing boat, was found on the beach several miles 
south of Sheboygan yesterday morning and his relatives here were 
notified and they went immediately to get it and bring it here for 
burial. The body of his brother-in-law, Joseph Zigrodnek, was recovered 
last Thursday and was buried at Manitowoc where his parents reside on 
Friday. His body was found near Sheboygan but that of Monka was found 
several miles south of that city. Although both bodies were badly 
decomposed, relatives found no difficulty in identifying them. Monka's 
body was brought here for interment, the funeral taking place this 
morning from St. Luke's Catholic church. The two men were drowned on the 
18th of last March. They had left this city for the purpose of setting 
nets out in the lake. It was their first trip out. Before they had time 
to set their nets a terrible gale sprung up driving floating ice between 
them and this port so that they were forced to seek shelter in the 
harbor of Sheboygan. Just before they reached that harbor their boat was 
swamped by a big wave and they went down with it in sight of many people 
on shore who could render them no assistance.

WALTER ZELEWSKE

RIVER CLAIMS FIRST DROWNING VICTIM
WALTER ZELEWSKE JR. AGED 13, LOSES LIFE AT RAPIDS TUESDAY WHEN HE WADES INTO HOLE
Companions Become Panic Stricken and Fail To Rescue Him - Max Mrotek, 9, Rescued 
By His Older Brother From a Similar Fate-Nine Boys in Party
In the first drowning fatality of the present summer in Manitowoc, 
Walter Zelewske, Jr., aged 13, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Zelewske, Sr., 
932 South Twenty-third street lost his life in the upper Manitowoc river, 
near the first Rapids bridge late Tuesday afternoon.
Zelewske was one of a party of nine boys who had gone swimming at the 
Rapids. Most of them were from the west side here, others in the party 
being boys from Rapids. It came close to being a double tragedy for Max 
Mrotek, aged nine years, was rescued by his brother Arthur, 11, after he 
had stepped into the same hole that Zelewske stumbled into, while wading 
out from the bank of the stream.
Body Recovered in 2 Hours
The drowning occurred shortly before three o'clock in the afternoon, 
and it was nearly two hours later before M. Schettl and Harold Weisner, 
dragging the river bottom from a row boat with an improvised drag made 
from barbed wire torn from an adjoining fence, succeeded in locating 
the body and bringing it to the surface.
Reports of the drowning, as told by Zelewskie's companions vary 
considerably, but it is evident that his companions became panic 
stricken when they saw the Zelewske boy sink from sight and although 
he came up three times they failed to rescue him. During his struggle 
in the water Zelewske grabbed the arm of Paul Weina, one of the boys 
in the group but the latter succeeded in breaking his hold and swimming 
to safety. The Weina boy is a son of Robert Weina, South Twenty-fifth 
street, who is at the hospital here with a fractured skull, as a result 
of an automobile accident near Whitelaw last Sunday.
Leaves Homes After Dinner
The Zelewske boy, in company with Arthur and Max Mrotek and Paul Weina 
set out from their homes on the west side shortly after dinner yesterday 
for the Rapids to go swimming in the river. They selected a spot near the 
old picnic ground, where the river bends just before reaching the first 
Rapids bridge. Near this spot is a hole, which is eight feet deep and it 
is said that an older boy warned the youngsters not to go near the spot.
The Mrotek boys said that they were wading about the river and with 
Zelewske suddenly got in beyond their depth. Neither Zelewske nor the 
younger Mrotek could swim. The former suffered from rupture and although 
13 years of age did not seem to be over ten. Arthur Mrotek who could swim 
came to the rescue and succeeded in pulling his brother from his precarious 
position.
Villagers Drag River
By this time the alarm had spread. Young Zelewske had come up three times, 
each time clutching weeds in his hand, which he had grabbed when he sank 
to the bottom. The alarm spread to the village of Rapids and men from there 
came to aid in the search for the boy. Several tried diving into the deep 
part where Zelewske had disappeared but failed to locate the body.
It was then that Schettl and Wiesner in a boat with the wire drag started 
operations and located the body after an hour's work. It was brought to 
the bank and later taken to the Shimek & Schwartz undertaking parlors, 
and the parents notified.
In the meantime the other boys had dressed hastily and departed for their 
homes. In addition to the two Mrotek brothers and Paul Weina, the party 
included Arnold and Clarence Reimers, Leonard Turchinski, Lew Ensign and 
Clarence Warunda.
Home A Sad One
The Zelewske home was a sad one last night and today. The mother of the 
drowned lad has just recently recovered from a serious illness and had 
been up and about but a few days.
Besides the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Zelewske, Sr., two brothers, 
Norbert and Arthur and two sisters, Elizabeth and Eva survive. The boy 
was a student at the St. Mary's parochial school and had just completed 
the fifth grade.
Funeral services will take place Friday morning from the St. Mary's 
Catholic church.
