Dr. Henry L. Banzhaf, 85, dean emeritus of the Marquette university school of

Tuesday at his Milwaukee home. Dr. Banzhaf headed the Marquette dental school 
as dean from 1902 to 1942 and was dean emeritus at his death. He also was

Dr. Banzhaf was born at Hartford, Wis., and spent his early life on a farm in 
the town of Mishicot. He attended high school at Two Rivers and later entered 
the University of Michigan school of dentistry from which he was graduated in 
1886. He came to Manitowoc to open a dental office and practiced until 1902.
He then moved to Milwaukee to become dean of the Milwaukee Medical college dental 
department, which became the Marquette school in 1907. Dr. Banzhaf was instrumental 
in building the university’s dental building in 1922 and installing what is 
believed to be the largest one room dental clinic in the world. The clinic today 
has 167 chairs.
In 1950 at Milwaukee he was named “dentist of the half century” for Wisconsin by 
the Wisconsin State Dental society. He served a president of the Milwaukee school 
board of which he was a member from 1911 to 1919, trustee of the Milwaukee public 
library and museum, president of the American College of Dentists, president of the 
State Dental society and president of the American Dental association.
Dr. Banzhaf helped organize the Dental Education Council of America in 1910 and was 
its executive secretary for 10 years. He holds an honorary doctor of laws degree of 
the University of Pittsburgh.
The retired Marquette dean headed practically every dental educational and 
professional group in the country and at one time was a major in the dental reserve 
corps of the United States army. He was also a former member of the state board of 
dental examiners.
In 1948, Dr. and Mrs. Banzhaf observed their golden wedding anniversary in Milwaukee 
ago (sic) Dr. Banzhaf had been writing his autobiography. The book will tell of his 
work under eight Marquette university presidents.

BENJ. L. BARKER

At his home in this city on Thursday, May 19, Ben L. Barker, aged 20 years and 
4 months. Ben Barker was born in Manitowoc, Jan. 25d, 1867 and has always lived 
here. He attended school in the city and early gave evidence of sterling 
qualities which later developed in a form of devotion to his chosen occupation 
and great love for his parents and friends. He early showed a great liking for 
machinery which led him to choose the occupation of his father, that of a 
railroad engineer and at the age of seventeen began his duties on his father's 
engine as fireman and from that time till his final sickness, never was absent 
from duty a day, a period of three years, doing the work of the strongest man 
and never complaining or giving a sign of fatigue although at times nearly 
exhausted from the severity of the self-imposed task.
He was the cherished idol of his parents and grandparents, always thinking of 
the welfare of others and devoting himself cheerfully to those he loved and 
laying plans for their future. He had many very warm friends who appreciate 
his kindly disposition and revere his memory very dearly and remembering that 
the good men do live after them and that his memory will be cherished and bear 
fruit in the living. Thus has another bright star of life gone down in dark 
clouds, this passes from life another of its bright hopes.

JUDGE GEORGE BARKER    (d. 1876)

From the Files of the Pilot - Forty-Four Years Ago (1873)
Barker - April 5, 1873
Died at Manitowoc, Wis., the Hon. Geo. W. Barker in the 70th year of his age.
Manitowoc Pilot, Thurs., Apr. 5, 1917
********
BARKER—April 7th, 1873, at Manitowoc, Wis., the Hon. Geo. W. Barker in the 70th 
year of his age.
The deceased has been well and favorably known in Manitowoc County these seventeen 
years. He was born in Vermont in 1804 of substantial New England parentage; learned 
a trade in his boyhood; but in his early manhood was called to the responsibilities 
of official life. For some fourteen years he was Sheriff in the Capital County of 
his native State; and for a time postmaster at Montpelier, Vt. He afterwards turned 
his attention to making contracts to build Railroads, and for years had as his 
associate the late R. H. Hoes, Esq., with whom he came to Manitowoc for R.R. building 
purposes. The delay in the executing of enterprises here led him to turn his attention 
to other pursuits; among others to the responsibilities of the office of County Judge, 
which he met for over six years. In all his varied trusts he is believed to have used 
his talents with commendable fidelity.
Twice he was married. Only one child, a son, who died at about the age of fifteen 
years, was the fruit of these marriages. His many tender allusions to the departed, 
his manifested affection for the now widowed survivor, have expressed much in respect 
to his fidelity as a husband and a father.
As a New Englander, he had been trained to a deep respect for the Christian religion; 
and contributed liberally of his sympathies and means to promote religious efforts. 
In his last sickness the claims of religion upon his heart came with solemn power. To 
his companion to Christian friends, and to this pastor, he expressed himself freely, 
and for weeks before his death manifestly sought to do all that a poor, sick, suffering 
body and soul would enable him to do, to lay hold upon the promises of the Gospel.
The results of another mortal a life are now all summed up. Man may err in his estimate 
of the meaning and value of these results. God cannot err. And with such anticipation 
do those, who knew him best, and have loved him most, have these results in God’s hands, 
that, amidst their grief at their loss, they are solaced with the hope that the loss is 
all theirs and not his.

GEORGE BARKER    (d. 1897)

Death Thurs. last week of George Barker after a long illness here in
Manitowoc. He was one of the oldest engineers of the local stretch of the
Northwestern Railroad. He was born in Greenwich, New York, and reached the 
age of 53. The funeral took place Tues. afternoon at the city cemetery.
Der Nord Westen, 11 Feb. 1897
*********
Died on Saturday, February 16, 1897 after a long and painful illness, George F. 
Barker of this city. The deceased was born in Washington County in the state of 
New York on June 20, 1843 but came with his parents at an early day to Wisconsin, 
settling in Calumet County near Hayton. He came to Manitowoc in 1863 where his 
home has been ever since. He was married on March 18, 1866 to Miss Etta Edwards, 
the daughter of one of the pioneer settlers of this city. His home life was 
exceptionally happy.
His ardent patriotic disposition led him to volunteer his services to his country 
during the Civil War as soon as his age would permit him to be accepted. He enlisted 
in Co. A. 18th Wisconsin Volunteers, commanded by Col. Gabe Bouck, but the hardships 
of a campaign were too great for one so young, and he was discharged on account of 
sickness. As soon as he recovered his health and strength in some degree, he 
volunteered again in the hundred days service and was made Orderly Sergeant of Co. G, 
39 Wis. Volunteers. On his muster out from that organization he again enlisted and 
became First Sergeant of Co. D, 52 Wis., serving until the war ended. He was one of 
the original members of the Grand Army Post of this city, and always took great 
interest in its welfare.
When the Appleton and New London Railway was built he entered the railway service on 
that line, and had charge of the first locomotive operated on the road. Later he was 
appointed traveling inspector of locomotives and brakes on the Milwaukee, Lake Shore 
& Western Ry. which position he held for many years until his health failed.
The deceased was deservedly popular with all who knew him, but especially so with his 
comrades of the railway service, while he was held in high esteem by his employers for 
his trustworthiness and devotion to duty.
His widow and aged mother survive him. His son, an only child, died a few years ago in 
early manhood.
George Barker was a good son, a good husband, a good father and a good citizen. 
"Blessed is the land which has such men for its people."

********
At the regular meeting of Division No. 249, B. of L.E., Feb. 7th, 1897, the following 
resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, after a lingering illness and suffering our late brother, Geo. F. Barker was 
relieved from his earthly suffering, on Feb. 6th, 1897, and called to his heavenly home 
where suffering is no more.
Resolved, that in the death of brother Barker we lose one of our oldest members and the 
C & N.W. Ry. Co. the oldest and most faithful engineer on the Ashland Division, and, 
the widow and aged mother, a kind and devoted husband, and loving son.
Resolved, that while our sympathy has been with the widow, in her trials of sickness 
and trouble in the past that we now more deeply extend, our heartfelt sympathy in this 
sad hour and ask God in his mercy to help her to bear up, under this sad affliction.
Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be presented to the widow, also spread upon 
the minutes of our meeting, and published, and that our charter be draped for thirty days.

*********
A writer in a Milwaukee paper has the following to say about our popular townsman. 
Geo. Barker, of Manitowoc, was in the city last Monday. When the war broke out 
Barker entered the service, remaining a year or so and was discharged for disability, 
one of his lungs having decided to retire from business. After remaining home nearly 
a year he re-enlisted (sic) and was orderly-sergeant (sic) in the 29th Wisconsin and 
when that regiment was mustered out he went into the 23d as orderly-sergeant. For 
along time after he came home it was supposed he could not live. One day he took a 
notion he would go to railroading. He was given a fireman's berth and in a 
comparatively short time was driving an engine, and for more than sixteen years has 
been an engineer on the Milwaukee Lake Shore & Western Railway.

JULIA A. BARKER

DIED:
In this village, on Sunday, the 17th inst., at 4 o'clock, A.M., Mrs. Julia A. 
wife of Geo. W. Barker, Esq., aged 64 years.
Mrs. Barker's illness was short, and the announcement of her sudden death was 
received with deep sorrow in the community. She was a native of Windham county, 
Connecticut, and during her residence here endeared herself to all her 
acquaintances. The deceased was kind to the poor, and her readiness to administer 
to the wants of the distressed and sick was exceeded only by the attentive and 
tenderly manner in which she performed the duties; and her many actions of 
benevolence will long be remembered by those who have been the recipients of her 
charity. Truly her departure leaves a void in the hearts of those who had an 
acquaintance with her which it will not be easy to fill. Esq. Barker has the 
heartfelt sympathy of the community in this hour of affliction.

MARY COVENTRY BARKER

MRS. MARY BARKER, ONE OF CITY'S OLDEST RESIDENTS, DEAD
WIDOW OF LATE COUNTY JUDGE G.W. BARKER, WAS PIONEER SETTLER OF COUNTY-
WOULD HAVE BEEN 91 TODAY
Mrs. Mary Barker, widow of the late County Judge G.W. Barker, one of 
the oldest residents of the city, a pioneer settler and one who in 
early days was prominent in social affairs, died Sunday, death coming 
peacefully as result of infirmities incident to age. Had Mrs. Barker 
live until today she would have been 91 years of age.
A native of England, Mrs. Barker was born in that country March 16, 1823, 
coming to Manitowoc county in 1855 or '56 and since that time she had been 
a continuous resident here. Mrs. Barker had been twice married, her first 
husband, Washington Goodnow, having been one of the prominent early day 
business men of the city, owning the large store on the site of what is 
now the new Dempsey block. Mr. Goodnow died in 1863 and his widow later 
married G.W. Barker, who served as county judge in the late 60's and whose 
death occurred in 1876.
Mrs. Barker came here from Pennsylvania where her parents located upon 
emigrating to America, and where her girlhood was passed. She was well 
known among earlier residents of the country and was a woman who commanded 
the love and esteem of a large circle of friends. After the death of her 
husband, Mrs. Barker had made her home at Fifth and Chicago streets until 
two months ago when she was removed to the county hospital where she was 
cared for. Up until very recently Mrs. Barker had apparently enjoyed good 
health but a lonely life which she led had affected her mind and it was 
deemed a mercy to have her cared for.
Mrs. Barker is survived by no children, though she has several sisters and 
brothers residing in the East, one of whom is expected to arrive here 
tomorrow to take charge of the body which will probably be buried in this 
city. Funeral arrangements have not been made pending the arrival of 
relatives.

CALVIN C. BARNES JR.

DIED - At his home in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, on Saturday, March 18. Dr. Calvin C. 
Barnes Jr., aged 27 years.
There has but seldom occurred a death within the knowledge of the writer that has 
cut short so many brilliant hopes.
We have known Mr. Barnes almost from infancy and have watched his physical and 
mental growth as that of a boy of bright promise, a youth of more than usual 
quickness of intellect and steadiness of purpose and at the last, as a young and 
vigorous man of strong, well-balanced mind, finely educated, thoroughly equipped 
for his chosen life work. And then, just as he stepped forth to enter the arena, 
we saw him stricken with a mortal malady and after a long period of suffering, 
pass away. It seems too hard.
Dr. Barnes was born at Waukesha, May 4, 1860 and a few months afterward, removed 
to this city with his parents, where, except when absent temporarily during the 
course of his education, he has since lived.
He received his academic education in this city, graduating with honors in one 
of the earliest classes of our high school. Soon after he determined to make the 
medical profession his life work and with that quiet determination which was 
characteristic, he entered upon an extended and laborous course of study which 
he continued until he graduated at Rush Medical College about four years ago with 
very high honors, at the early age of a little over 22 years.
He was more than usually well fitted for his profession. He had not only the store 
of knowledge which are only acquired by unwearied patience and continuous industry 
but he had that natural adaption and love for his profession which goes far to 
make the true and in the end the highly successful physician. What the world has 
lost in the blighting of his young life, will never be known. After a rest of some 
months he entered upon the practice of his profession at Two Rivers, and was just 
entering upon a successful career when stricken with heart disease which in spite 
of all that skill and devotion could do, terminated fatally.
To the sorrowing family circle the sympathies of a large concourse of friends 
are freely given. The funeral services were held on Sabbath afternoon from the 
family residence and a very large gathering of people from all parts of the county 
met to pay the last tribute of respect.

FAY L. BARNES

DIES IN TRAILER FIRE   
Fay Barnes, 43, Fatally Burned 
Welder and Pet Dog Are Victims of Blaze 
Fay Leroy Barnes, 43, a welder at the Manitowoc Ship Building company, burned 
to death early Monday morning in his small trailer and leanto, on the outskirts 
of Manitowoc, between Custer street and Calumet avenue.
Firemen from Manitowoc and Valders, who were called, were unable to remove 
Barnes from the roaring trailer fire. Barnes’ pet dog also burned to death. 
When the ruins of the trailer cooled sufficiently Barnes’ body, burned beyond 
recognition, was found crosswise on his bed. His car keys lay across his chest.
Coroner Theodore Teitgen, who was summoned, said there would be no inquest.
Call Fire Fighters 
The fire was first noticed by John Czekala, who was driving by at the time, and 
Andrew Balog, living nearby, shortly after 4 a.m. They telephoned Lt. William 
McConnell at the Manitowoc police department. He sent Officers Stuart Wetenkamp 
and Howard Rezach in the squad car and a there was a question of whether the 
trailer was inside the city limits. He also called Sheriff Clarence Baryenbruch. 
The latter summoned the Valders fire department.
In the meantime, Lieutenant McConnell and Asst. Fire Chief Clarence Schmatz went 
to the scene and summoned a truck from the Manitowoc department. Also summoned 
was a water tank booster truck from Manitowoc Rapids. 
Lt. McConnell contacted Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Duette, who live in a trailer about 
20 feet from the Barnes trailer. Mrs. Duette said she heard Mr. Barnes drive his 
car into the trailer camp shortly after 1 o’clock this morning, having been 
aroused from her sleep by the car motor and the barking of the Barnes’ dog. She 
also noticed the light go on in the trailer and in a few minutes the trailer was 
dark, she added. 
Contact Divorced Wife
Firemen prevented the spread of the fire to other trailers in the vicinity.
How the fire started is a mystery but firemen surmised an overheated stove in the 
trailer may have been the cause.
Coroner Teitgen Monday sought to contact Barnes’ divorced wife, Wyneth, said to 
be residing in Chicago with three children, ranging in age from 11 to 15 years. 
The body is at the Urbanek and Schlei funeral home.
Mr. Barnes came to Manitowoc from Berlin, Wis., in 1940, to take employment at the 
shipyards as an electric welder. He was born in Berlin in 1907. Before coming here 
he was employed by the Berlin Chapman company in Berlin.

died January 24, 1886 and was thirty years of age at the time of her death. 
She was born and raised in this county. She was married to Mr. Barnes in

JOSIE NORRIS BARNES

At her home in this city, Friday, May 15, 1885, Josephine, wife of John W. 
Barnes, Esq. aged 41 years.
Her native place was Milford, Maine but when twelve years of age she accompanied 
her sister, now Mrs. E. I. Rand, to Manitowoc where another sister, Mrs. Emery, 
already resided. From that time until her death her home was here. Friendships 
were formed during those early years which were never broken until death severed 
them. Among the mourners at her funeral were many who had known her during her 
whole residence here and who had never during that time seen any cause to abate 
the confidence, the respect, the love which she had won from them years ago, 
showing that she possessed those sterling qualities which alone win and retain 
worthy regard. 
She was married to Mr. Barnes Nov. 4th 1866. Six children of this union survive 
her. From the time of her marriage she was devoted to her home, her husband and 
to her family. No want of theirs which she could supply was unsatisfied and to 
them her loss is irreparable. She was a devoted member of the Episcopal church 
and its interests ever lay near to her heart.
The burial occurred upon Sunday, and in every way friends testified their 
appreciation of her as a woman and friend, by their presence in large numbers, 
by their gifts of beautiful flowers and by every other token love and sympathy 
could suggest.
“Two hand upon the breast 
And labor’s done
Two pale feet crossed in rest—
The race is won.”

Mrs. Mary Barnes formerly of this city died at her home in Chicago on Saturday 
last. Her remains were brought here for interment. She was a sister of Judge 
Olmsted, former proprietor of The Pilot.
Manitowoc Pilot, Thursday, December 24, 1896 P. 3
*******
Died at Chicago Ill., on the 19th inst.
Mrs. Mary F. Barnes, aged sixty two years. Mrs. Barnes was the second daughter 
of Judge Augustus A. Olmsted, and sister of the late Col. Ten Eyeck G. Olmsted, 
formerly county judge of Manitowoc county. She was born at Howard, Stueben county, 
N.Y. She, with her mother, brother and sister, came to Manitowoc in 1852, where 
she has since resided until about seven years ago when she went to Chicago to 
reside with her only daughter Mrs. Elsie O. Ingersoll.
She was among the early arrivals to this then small village or hamlet and found 
everything new and with but few advantages, but she readily adapted herself to 
the new condition of things, and entered into pioneer life with a zest that was 
truly commendable. She soon developed into an ardent student of literature and 
human nature, and during her whole stay in Manitowoc was prominent in society and 
church circles, and was perhaps as well known as any lady in our midst. She wrote 
sharp and pointed editorials for the Manitowoc Pilot in nearly every issue during 
all the time that her brother, the late Judge Olmsted, published it.
She was a devoted daughter, mother, sister and friend, always plain and outspoken, 
no affectation, with positive opinions as to all the evils of the time, and always 
had a warm place in her heart for the truthful and upright, no matter how humble. 
She was in fact a typical woman of her time, somewhat impulsive, but acting well 
her part in all the varied and trying walks of life.

down and fatally injured by a runaway team on the crossing of Washington and 13th 
Sts. He was picked up insensible and carried into the house of W. Gomoll. When the 
doctor came it was found that an arm was broken, face badly bruised and he was 
injured internally. He was carried on a lounge to the home of his son-in-law, Mr. 
Charles Jones where he died in a few hours.
The team which did the injury is owned by Vogelsang & Murphy, furniture dealers. They 
were untied while a load of furniture was being taken into the warehouse, and became 
frightened at something. They went up Washington street at a terrific pace. Mr. Baruth 
was crossing the street at the time, and being deaf did not hear the warning cries 
which were addressed to him by the spectators who saw the danger he was in.
