CLYDE D. BARRIE

DEATH COMES TO RELEASE HIS SUFFERING
Clyde Barrie Passes Away In Prime Of His Life
Death came to Clyde Barrie at the family home 827 North 
Ninth street last night shortly after 11 o'clock while 
he slept peacefully after having spent a better day and 
evening than usual. Taken ill six months ago he had been 
a patient at the hospital and at his home ever since and 
for a time showed signs of recovery. 
While it was known that his condition was serious the 
death came as a great shock to the family and a wide 
circle of friends. The funeral will be held from the 
home Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Burial will be 
at Evergreen.
Clyde Barrie was taken seriously ill last October and for 
weeks was a patient at the Holy Family hospital. He 
recovered sufficiently to return to his home and then made 
a trip to Chicago to consult a specialist regarding his 
heart trouble. 
Upon the night of his return from Chicago he suffered a 
stroke of paralysis which was the cause of the death last 
night.
Born Here in 1893
Mr. Barrie was born in this city November 23, 1893 and 
was but 28 years of age. He attended the local high school 
and graduated with the class of 1913. Later he attended 
Northwestern University at Evanston, Ill., and returned 
here to accept a positon in the office of the Aluminum 
Goods company with the accounting department a postion 
which he held up to the time of his illness.
Favorite of Aunt
During his youth he acquired the habit of spending much 
of his time with his aunt, Mrs. Sam Olson, 1214 New York 
avenue and to her he would go with all of his little troubles 
and for her he took the place of two sons who died in infancy. 
The friendship of the two was great and the shock to Mrs. 
Olson, who has been in poor health for a number of years is 
a severe one.
Deceased was a member of the Presbyterian church, of 
Manitowoc Lodge No. 65 F.& A.M., of Manitowoc Chapter 
No. 16 Royal Arch Masons and of the Elks. His mother
died January 7, 1918 and was followed six months later 
by the father on June 21. 
After the death of the mother Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Barrie 
came here from Green Bay to take up their residence at 
the family homestead and Clyde made his home with them for 
the past three years.
Surviving Relatives
Surviving him are two brothers, Arthur, with whom he made 
his home and Walter C., of Los Angeles, Calif. Two aunts, 
Mrs. Sam Olson of this city and Mrs. Albert Barrie of 
Portland, Oregon are the only other surviving members of 
the family.
The Rev. D.C. Jones of Neenah will officiate at the service 
at the home and the Masonic lodge will be in charge of the 
services at the grave.

Bartel. She was a 1983 graduate of Valders High School, Valders, WI. She 
continued her education at Lakeshore Technical College, Cleveland, WI and

Early in Peggy's professional career she was hired by Dr. Jeffrey Menos to be a

education by graduating from Madison Area Technical College as a Dental Hygienist. 
She and Jeff had fallen in love and were married September 6, 1997. Jeff and Peggy 
moved to Slinger, and Peggy was employed as a hygienist for many years at two 
dentist offices in the Milwaukee area, Dr. Ricahrd Schabowski in West Allis and 
Dr. Dean Copoulos in Wauwatosa. Peggy worked as recently as December 2011 and had 
many faithful patients who were of wonderful support to her during her 4.5 year 
battle with cancer.
Peggy and Jeff enjoyed watching sports, especially baseball and football. They also 
enjoyed hunting and fishing and took many fishing trips to Florida. Other popular 
travel destinations were Arizona, the Upper Peninsula, Door County, and her beloved 
homestead, "the farm", where Peggy shot her first deer.
Peggy is survived by her husband, Jeff; one brother, Tim (Anne) Bartel, Whitefish 
Bay; four sisters: Betty (Terry) Weiland, Menasha; Nancy (Randy) Meyer, Kaukauna; 
Cindy (Bill) Heffernan, Green Bay; Debby (Tom) Umnus, Appleton; and sister-in-law, 
Loret Thill, Madison. She is also survived by her mother-in-law Lillian Menos, 
Appleton, and brother-in-law Dr. Perry (Mary) Menos, Appleton. She is also survived 
by nieces and nephews: Melissa Weiland, Trisha (Kyle) Everson, Kevin (Kristy) Meyer, 
Carrie (Shaun) Buntjer, Amy and Paul Umnus, and Joey and Kyle Bartel. She is also 
survived by Jeff's nieces and nephews: Nicole (Peter) Poppens, and Angela, Jonathan, 
Joel, and Rachael Menos, Appleton. She is also survived by one great-nephew and two 
great-nieces: Eric, Vallarie, and Brooklyn Meyer. She was preceded in death by her 
parents and her brother, Tom.
The family is grateful for the support from Peggy's special friend Carolyn Anhalt, 
who she waitressed with at the Big Boy Restaurant in Manitowoc many years ago, and 
high school friend, Kimberly Knight-Wiegert, whose talents and ideas never ran out. 
Much support also came from special friend, Kristin Brocker from Dr. Schabowski's
office, a special patient and "mother figure" Anna, Nancy Gratton from dental hygiene 
school, and high school friends Patty Musical and Lisa Sharek. Peggy and Jeff had a 
very special Golden Retriever named Carmel who passed several years back, and their 
current Golden named Otis.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Sat. Feb. 11 at 11 a.m. at St. Gabriel

Louis Bartke, an aged South side resident was severely injured by being thrown

much suffering. Mr. Bartke was thrown from his seat backward and alighted on 
his head, a deep gash being cut in the scalp. There is an injury to the chest 
that has caused a large swelling and there may be internal hurts which will 
prove serious. Mr. Bartke is well advanced in age and this fact makes the

CLARISSA B. BARTLEY

DIED—At her home, near the Little Manitowoc River, on Wednesday night, Feb. 9th, 
Mrs. Clarissa B. Bartley, aged 77 years.
The deceased was the mother of the well known Capt. George Bartley of the tug 
Owens, and of Mrs. Harry Damon and Mrs. Judd of Milwaukee. About thirty years ago 
she was the landlady of the old American House and was a favorite with the 
traveling public. Of late years she has been much of an invalid and in the bustle 
of the rising generation was almost lost sight of.
The small circle which kept her in mind and frequently met her, found her a woman 
of more than usual culture, always interesting to talk with. The old settlers are 
passing away rapidly.

Evelyn Florence Bashaw, 85, formerly of Sturgeon Bay, died Saturday night, February 11, 2023 at Waterfall Health of Algoma (formerly Algoma Long Term Care).
She was born Eva Fern Dohms on January 18, 1938 in Howard, Wisconsin to Shirley and Iris (Thalacker) Dohms. Evelyn was adopted and raised by Otto Louis Kuehn, Jr. and Florence Pauline (Spredeman) Kuehn of Door County. Evelyn grew up attending St. John Ev. Lutheran Church in Valmy where she was confirmed. She attended Sevastopol High School.
She completed classes to become a CNA and worked at Holy Family Hospital in Manitowoc. She worked other various jobs until marrying Jerry L. Bashaw on November 3, 1973 in Iowa and shared eight years of marriage before Jerry passed away in 1982.
Over the years, Evelyn lived in Mishicot, Two Rivers, Manitowoc, and Sturgeon Bay. She moved into Algoma Long Term Care nearly four years ago, following an injury at home in Sturgeon Bay.

She was an avid reader with the Amish book series being among her favorites for her fiction. Many of Evelyn’s book collections were donated to the library at St. Peter’s. She was a very organized person; everything was in its place at home, especially her coins, which she always separated out. Evelyn loved watching the birds from her apartment in Sturgeon Bay.

ELIZABETH BASS

MRS. GEORGE BASS, THIS CITY TO BE FIRST WOMAN ORGANIZER OF 
POLITICAL PARTY IN THE U.S.A.
Manitowoc Woman To Be Named By Democrats To Head Permanent Woman’s 
Bureau Which National Committee Will Establish
To be the first woman organizer of a political party in the United 
States is the distinction which Mrs. George Bass, of this city will 
enjoy, announcement being made from Washington that Mrs. Bass will 
be appointed head of a woman’s bureau which the democratic national 
committee will establish and maintain as a permanent situation for 
work among women voters in equal suffrage states. Mrs. Bass will 
organize and direct a campaign of education of women in the tenets 
of the democratic party in preparations for the congressional 
elections in the equal suffrage states in 1918 and for the 
presidential candidate in 1920.
Manitowoc Daily Herald, Thursday, February 01, 1917, Page 1
*******
Final rites for Mrs. Elizabeth Bass, 91, who died at Fond du Lac Friday, will 
be held at 2 p.m. Monday at the St. James Episcopal church. The Rev. F. C. St. 
Clair will officiate and interment will be in the family plot in Evergreen 
cemetery where her husband, the late Judge George Bass of Chicago and Manitowoc, 
is buried.
Although Mrs. Bass' death was not unexpected her demise was a surprise to hosts 
of her friends in Manitowoc where she had made her home since retiring from 
public life five years ago. She rose from the ranks of a court reporter in 
Chicago to become a leader for two decades in Democratic national political 
circles. 
The first woman ever to be appointed a political manager in a national campaign, 
Mrs. Bass directed women's activities in the Woodrow Wilson campaign in 1916 in 
the 12 states in which women voted that year. She was one of the preconvention 
supporters of Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933 and one of his midwest campaign 
advisors.
She won her highest political honors at the Democratic national convention in 
San Francisco in 1920, when she presided over one of the sessions-the first time 
such an honor had been conferred on a woman. A contemporary of Jane Addams, Julie 
Lathrop and other women Pioneers in the woman's suffrage movement, she was a 
member of the Democratic national committee in 1916. She was also active in the 
World War I Liberty loan organization.
She was a candidate for county commissioner in Chicago in 1917 and three years 
later was named chief of the women's bureau of the Democratic national committee. 
Her husband, a former judge and attorney and Illinois state senator, died in 1930.
Mrs. Bass was named chief of the narcotics bureau in Chicago by President Roosevelt 
in 1933 and in 1938 was transferred to Denver at her own request, on the 
expectation the Colorado climate would help her bronchial trouble. 
Friends may call at the Mittnacht funeral home after Sunday noon. The casket will 
be moved to the church at 11 a.m. Monday to lie in state until the hour of 
services. The casket will not be opened in church.

What a big responsibility
But without a complaint
She was always our saint
And Truly our guide to stability.
God has a plan to take us all home
and everyone has his time
We didn't agree
And sent him our plea
But to Him she had sung her last line.
Respect, love and admiration
Were hers from everyone for sure
We were blessed with her love
Sent from God above.
The know her was truly to love her.

EMMA (OWART) BAUKNECHT

SAD AND FATAL TRAGEDY.
The wife of Henry Bauknecht, who resides of Main street just outside the city 
limits, was killed by a revolver fired while in the hands of her husband on 
last Tuesday evening about 7 o'clock. A reporter of The Pilot, in company with 
the district attorney, drove out to the scene of the tragedy just after the 
killing of the woman was announced. The parties live in a small two-story 
building, in the kitchen of which the deed was transacted, the appearance of 
the table indicated that the evening meal had just been finished. In one corner 
of the room was a large pool of blood, and in the adjoining room, on a bed, lay 
Mrs. Bauknecht, apparently dead, although the doctor present at the time stated 
that life was not yet extinct. She died, however, about five minutes afterward, 
and about an hour after the shooting occurred. An examination of the body showed 
that the ball had struck just below the nostrils. Immediately after the deed was 
committed, Bauknecht went out and told some of the neighbors what he had done. 
He then went to the city, summoned Dr. Luhman and then gave himself up to the 
sheriff.
On account of the lateness of the hour it was not deemed advisable to hold an 
inquest on the remains until morning. An officer and two assistants were deputed 
to remain at the place until the inquest should be held. Bauknecht was next 
visited at the jail. On entering he inquired of the sheriff if his wife was dead 
and on being answered in the affirmative he became greatly excited.
After a short time he cooled down somewhat and then related to the district
attorney the particulars of the affair. He claims that he is away from home con-
siderably, his business being that of a dray man, and that at the request of his 
wife he purchased the revolver about two years ago. He expected to go out that 
evening and was explaining to his wife the mode of using the weapon when it was 
accidentally discharged with the result mentioned. He admitted that she had used 
the weapon once some time ago, but said that of late she had been unable to 
discharge it. Some of the parties who live in the neighborhood, claim that when 
Bauknecht came home he was somewhat under the influence of liquor, but while he 
admitted that he had drank some, he denied that he was at all intoxicated.
Mrs. Bauknecht, judging from her appearance, was a comparatively young woman, 
probably about 30. Her husband is perhaps a few years older. Two little children, 
a boy of 8 and a girl of 6 years are left motherless by the sad event. It may be 
pretty hard to make out whether the deed was done intentionally or not, but even 
taking Bauknecht's version of the story, he is guilty of the worst kind of criminal 
carelessness, as he was fully aware that the revolver was loaded while handling it.
Later.
The testimony taken at the inquest, which was concluded last night, resulted pretty 
conclusively in establishing the fact that the shooting was not done designedly. 
Bauknecht's little boy, a bright little fellow, told in a plain, straight-forward 
manner, a story that corroborated the one told by his father.
Mrs. Bauknecht's aged father testified that the couple have always lived exception-
ally happy. Bauknecht's own story did not vary materially from that related in jail, 
except that he admitted having drank more beer before going home than was probably 
good for him, and this fact no doubt accounts for his carelessness. The verdict of 
the jury was that Mrs. Bauknecht came to her death by a bullet accidentally fired 
from a revolver carelessly handled by her husband. Bauknecht will be brought up in 
justice court today, where it is expected he will waive examination. In that event 
an attempt will be made to have him mildly sentenced at the present term of court. 
The deed comes under the statutory definition of manslaughter in the fourth degree.
Manitowoc Pilot  Thursday, January 24, 1884
KILLED HIS WIFE
Criminal Negligence.
Considerable excitement was created in our city by the report on Tuesday night 
and Wednesday morning that Henry Bauknecht a resident of the Third Ward had 
murdered his wife by shooting her with a revolver.
Bauknecht immediately after shooting gave himself up to Sheriff Bibinger who 
placed him in custody. 
An inquest was immediately held by Justice Paulus where the facts in the case 
were fully brought out. 
It seems that Bauknecht and the deceased were sitting together after supper when 
Bauknecht announced his intention of going out to attend to some errand for Mr. 
Lorenz, a baker in the neighborhood.
The deceased made some objection stating she was afraid to be left alone. Her 
husband assured her there was no danger, and said she had a revolver to protect 
herself with. She replied it would not work. He took down the revolver which was 
a self cocking one, and showing her how it could be made to work by pressing the 
cylinder with the thumb while pressing on the trigger when it went off.
The bill struck the unfortunate woman below the right eye near the base of the 
nose, penetrating to the brain causing almost instant death.
Bauknecht's story as to the affair was fully corroborated by his son, a little 
boy between eight and nine years of age, who had been kept carefully apart from 
him after the shooting happened.
Bauknecht has been heretofore looked upon as a steady and industrious man. He and 
his wife have always lived together happily and there seems to be a total absence 
of any motive for killing her, and the evidence so far negatives any intent to 
kill.
A regular judicial examination will be had, and Bauknecht will probably be tried 
on information for one of the lower degrees of manslaughter and if found guilty 
receive a light sentence.
Any punishment he may get will no doubt be lighter than the heavy burden of remorse 
he must bear till death.
Manitowoc Lake Shore Times  Tuesday, January 29, 1884, pg. 1
********
Bauknecht has had a preliminary examination before Justice Paulus and has been held 
to avert trial for killing his wife. If the facts of the case are as he has given 
them, no one can do otherwise than sympathize with the unfortunate man; yet public 
justice demands that the prevalent criminal negligence in the handling of firearms 
be punished.

BEATRICE BAUMANN

Authorities Probe Girl's Death In Mystery Accident
Beatrice Baumann, 13, died this noon of injuries received a short 
while earlier when apparently struck by a car in front of the Madison 
school on North 7th street. She is the daughter of Mrs. Marie Baumann, 
819 Chicago street.
Police were not sure at a late hour this afternoon whether the girl 
had been struck by a hit-run motorist or whether some motorist, driving 
through the leaves along the curb, had hit her and continued on without 
knowing that he had hit anyone.
The girl was rushed to the Holy Family hospital by Herbert Vander Bloemen, 
who lives nearby, after his son, Albert, 5, had come home saying a badly 
hurt girl was lying in the street. She was dead upon admission to the 
hospital, according to Coroner Theodore Teitgen. Vander Bloemen said the 
girl was still living when he, with the assistance of Ray Johnson, took 
her to the hospital in his car which is equipped with a siren.
Chest Crushed
Coroner Teitgen said the girl sustained a crushed chest and that the right 
side of her skull was crushed and her jaw broken.
"On information we have received so far," Chief of Police J.J. Kuplic said, 
"it appears that the girl was playing in the large pile of leaves along the 
curb and that the car or whatever hit her did not know about hitting her."
Chief Kuplic, coroner Teitgen and District Attorney Danielson talked with 
the girl's brother and sister who had been with her earlier in the morning, 
and they said the three Baumann children had apparently been playing in 
Union park and that Beatrice had come down from the park ahead of the others, 
and may have been hiding in the leaves.
The girl's coat was found placed over the school sign which stands between 
the curb and sidewalk just south of the driveway into the Madison school 
which is on the east side of the street. The girl was found with her head 
over the curb and her body out into the street.
Find No Witnesses
Chief Kuplic said that his department had been unable to find anyone who had 
actually seen what had happened, but that many persons nearby were to be 
questioned to see if some further light could be thrown on the mishap.
An inquest will be held, Coroner Teitgen announced this afternoon, but the 
coroner's jury has not yet been selected. The jury is expected to view the 
body this evening at the Wattawa, Urbanek and Schlei funeral home where it 
was taken.
The Rev. Louis Schorn, pastor of Sacred Heart congregation at which school 
Beatrice was a seventh grade student, was on the scene just before Vander 
Bloemen, he told authorities but when Vander Bloemen came up the girl was 
put in his car because it had the siren. Father Schorn said he was driving 
north on 7th street when the girl's brother flagged him down.
The girl was apparently struck by a vehicle going north on 7th street. The 
Sacred Heart school is just across the street from the Madison school on 7th 
street. The gutters on both sides of the street are well filled with leaves.

in the Two Rivers Reporter from Mark Byers, and since then had given general 
supervision to both the Manitowoc and Two Rivers newspapers. At the death of W.H. 
Ohde in 1947 he was made sole publisher, was vice president of both Manitowoc 
Newspapers and Two Rivers Reporter Inc., and a director on the boards of the Head 
of the Lakes Broadcasting Company of Duluth and the Northwest Los Angeles Publishing 
Company.
Up to a few years ago he wrote most of the editorials in The Herald-Time and The 
Fog Horn, including the “parables” printed in that column from time to time. In 
his younger days Mr. Bayne wrote numerous articles, stories and poems which were 
published in national magazines and, in the days of the silent pictures, was the 
author of several hundred scenarios which were produced in pictures by Kaem, 
Essanay and other early studios. His biography is included in “Whos’s Who in 
America.”
Served as Minister
Mr. Bayne was born in Portland, Conn., on Feb. 10, 1885. He never went to college, 
but after graduating from high school at Mendon, Ill., he studied law in his brother’s 
office at Ottawa and LaSalle, Ill. He entered the Congregational ministry in 1908 and 
served churches at McCook, Neb., Viroqua and Superior, Wis., and Creston, Iowa. 
At Superior he became editor of the Wisconsin Sunday Times and a year later gave up 
the ministry to become editor of the Superior Telegram. When the Telegram bought the 
Duluth News-Tribune, he was made editor and publisher of that morning and Sunday 
newspaper. Under his direction The News-Tribune increased its circulation from 16,000 
to 42,000 in five years.
Mr. Bayne married Isabel A. Bennie at Creston, Iowa, in 1918. His wife and their two 
children, Mrs. Louis Fandrick of the city and Robert T. Bayne of Los Angeles, survive. 
There are also two brothers, John J. Bayne of Pomona Park, Fla., and Atty. Howard H. 
Bayne of Ottawa, Ill.; and three grandchildren Phyllis and Mary Fandrick of the city 
and Barbara Bayne of Los Angeles.

*********
"The last daily newspaper started here was the New Times, with Arthur Trippler as editor.
The name was changed to the Manitowoc Evening Times in 1931 when the newspaper was 
purchased by the Morgan Murphy Enterprises of Superior, and R.T. Bayne came from 
superior to be editor and publisher.  
A year later Bayne and his associates bought out the half interest of Edward Mackay 
in the Herald-News. This resulted in the consolidation of the two daily newspapers 
into the Manitowoc Herald-Times.  Bayne and Ohde, who owned the other half of the 
Herald-News, became co-publishers of the Herald-Times. In 1935, Bayne and his 
associates bought controlling interest in the Two Rivers Reporter from Mark Byers.  
After the death of Ohde in 1947, Bayne became sole publisher and vice president of 
Manitowoc Newspapers Inc. and the Two Rivers Reporter Inc. Bayne died in 1954 and 
Barenbaum suceeded him as general manager."
