Mrs. Adeline Craite, nee Fortier, widow of Isaac Craite, prominent member of 
the Manitowoc county bar, died early today at the home of her daughter, Mrs. 
J. C. Corcoran, Tiffin, Ohio.
For the past 20 years Mrs. Craite has made her home in Milwaukee with a nephew, 
Herman Beseau. Mr. Craite died in February of 1918. Mrs. Craite had been ill

peace. From 1887 to 1889 he was a member of the state legislature. He read law 
and was admitted to the bar in 1890. He was elected first judge of the Manitowoc

LARGE CONCOURSE PAYS TRIBUTE TO MEMORY OF FRIEND
Funeral of Late Judge Craite is Held Today and Largely Attended. 
Elks in Charge
Tribute to the memory of a friend was paid by hundreds of people 
today who attended the funeral of the late Judge Isaac Craite, held 
from the late home on South Seventh street, the funeral being one 
of the largest in years here. Many friends from all sections of the 
county and many from afar were present for the services. The services 
were in charge of the Elks lodge and members of the order, with which 
Judge Craite was affiliated attended in a body as did the members of 
the County Bar association. 
At the home Rev. Keicher delivered a brief service and E.G. Nash also 
spoke. The casket was buried under a sea of beautiful floral offerings, 
which filled the home. At Evergreen the ritual services of the Elks 
lodge were conducted with Exaalted Ruler L.W. Wedertz in charge. Courts 
of the city adjourned for the day in respect to Judge Craite. The

JUDGE ISAAC CRAITE DEAD
Judge Isaac Craite suffered a stroke of apoplexy last Saturday afternoon at four 
o'clock and died twelve hours later, without regaining consciousness. He had been 
transacting business in the afternoon and stepped into the former Stephani place 
on his way home. He had been there but a few minutes when the stroke came. 
Physicians hurried to his side but they said at once that he could not live. The 
sudden ending of the genial friend of everybody cast a pall over the community. 
Judge Craite was born at Manitowoc Rapids, April 26, 1856. He was a graduate of 
the Oshkosh Normal School and taught district schools for eight years. He conducted 
a store in Mishicot for some years and served in the legislature in 1887. Since his 
admission to the bar in 1890, he served as judge on the municipal court. He was the 
first judge of that court serving a short term and one full term of four years. He 
had practiced at Manitowoc since 1901. He was married in 1879 and is survived by his 
widow, a daughter, Josephine and his mother, Mrs. Zoe Craite, over 90 years of age, 
residing at Green Bay; two sisters, Mrs. Fortier of Green Bay and Mrs. Ida Kimmes 
of Two Rivers; four brothers, Capt. Nells Craite of Racine, George Craite of 
Milwaukee and Eusebe Craite of Rice Lake and Jerome Craite of California.
The funeral was held yesterday with the order of Elks officiating. Pallbearers were 
E.G. Nash, Judge Chloupek, L.W. Ledvina, M.J. O'Donnel, James White and John Haney 
of Kewaunee.
Besides the state assembly and the municipal court bench, he served on the first city 
Board of Education. In 1911 he was chosen as the man most likely to be selected as 
mayor in the anti-Stolze ticket and under great handicaps, he nearly accomplished that 
feat. When the income tax law was enacted, he was appointed by the tax commissions on 
the board of review and was still a member of the board at his death. There is a big 
empty space in our citizenship caused by the Judge's departure. He was not deeply 
learned in law, his associates say, nor did he pretend to be. But he knew men and 
understood them. He could talk in the juror's own language and he had clear thinking 
apparatus and a large fund of common sense. These faculties coupled with industry made 
him a power as a jury trial lawyer. He was splendid company and there was no tedium in 
his company or dullness in any group of which he formed a part. In the public capacities 
he served, he rendered good service. On the bench he dispensed justice without any 
more regard for the time honored forms than was required and he never assumed any 
unnecessary dignity or the least trace of austerity.
He was successful in his life work and he performed that work in court and out of it, 
with unruffled evenness of temper and an apparent absence of stain that was the envy 
of many competitors. Nothing seemed to surprise, perturb or enbitter him. There is no 
use in attempting to describe Judge Craite. He was a "character", a self made successful 
man; a good citizen; a loyal friend, but will probably be remembered longest as a loyal, 
good companion who enjoyed life and made everyone within his orbit also enjoy it.

Memorial for Isaac Craite Now Part of Circuit Court Records:
Following is the memorial to the late Judge Isaac Craite, present by 
Edward L. Kelley for the Bar Association at the services held in circuit 
court Saturday afternoon and which, on order of Judge Kirwan becomes a 
part of the records of the court.
_________

MAY IT PLEASE THE COURT:
The Manitowoc County Bar Association desires to respectfully submit to the 
Circuit Court the following memorial to our departed friend and brother, 
Honorable Isaac Craite.
It was very noticable to the professional brethren and intimate friends of 
Judge Craite that for some period of time prior to his untimely departure, 
he would, in social intercourse direct the genial flow of conversation to 
the all absorbing mystery of death. Some of us remember numerous lively 
discussion in the last year he was with us upon this subject which seemed 
to have developed for him an impelling fascination in its possibilities for 
conjecture and speculation. He never professed fear of the grim messenger 
but the suddenly developed interest in the mystery lying behind the frail 
but impenetrable veil suggests that some premonition had come to him, which 
he secretly bore, that his spiritual sight might soon behold the mystery 
which he always strongly contended was never intended to be and never had 
been revealed to those abiding in the flesh.
He wanted no mourning over him; on the contrary his desire being that we 
engage in pleasant social activity in remembrance of the many happy hours 
his geniality had contributed to us. His desire was most reasonable and 
natural, for if we believe with the philosopher that death is the end, or 
believe as the Christian that it is the beginning, it is never philosophical 
nor religious to mourn overmuch for those who die. For, if to die is to enter 
on a dreamless and eternal sleep, then are the dead at rest? And if death 
is but the dawn of an eternal and painless day, then are they blessed indeed, 
and all mourning is but a selfish sorrow at our loss and not theirs.
We see the working of Nature and proclaim them wise in all things save the 
one cause of death for man. We know that She is neither kind not pitiless; 
nor capricious nor fitful, but simply logical and inexorable. She smiles 
upon our greatest griefs and roars in wintry storm upon our holiest festival, 
and yet we know that for every seeming caprice there is a fixed law which She 
can no more evade than can the highest developed of eartly creatures, Man.
We love to see the budding grass, the blooming flowers and to inhale the sweet-
scented air of Spring untroubled by the thought that when the chilly blasts of 
winter and the flower decay, for we know that they will wave and bloom again 
in their old forms, or by subtle chemistry of Nature be changed into some new 
shape of life and beauty to gladden and enrich the world.
If, then, such loving care is bestowed upon beast and bird and grass and trees 
and flowers, may we not believe that for the noblest of her creatures an equal 
care has been provided? This is the consolation and the faith of most, the 
hope of all who live; the hope that surged in the life of our dparted brother, 
and holding fast to this faith, I will proceed to a brief sketch of the life 
and character of the emancipated member of our bar.
Judge Isaac Craite was a native of this county, having been born in the Town of 
Manitowoc Rapids on April 26th, 1858, being the second oldest of ten children 
of Euseb Craite and Zoe Ruell Craite. His ancestry was French Canadia, his father 
coming to Manitowoc Rapids from St. Lawrence, Canada and his mother from an 
adjoining town. His parents were married at Manitowoc Rapids and Judge Craite 
was born on a farm near the village of Branch, in that town.
The family moved from the town of Manitowoc Rapids to a farm in the town of 
Mishicot when young Craite was thirteen years of age.
He received such early education as the common schools of the county at that 
time afforded, having attended school at Branch and in the town of Mishicot. 
Being one of the oldest of a large family he was obliged to help considerably 
in the work on the farm during all of his school years. As a boy he had a 
strong and worthy ambition to secure an education and finally attended the 
Oshkosh Normal School. Before finishing his course in that institution he 
accepted an opprotunity to teach school in Montpelier, in Kewaunee County. 
Later he taught school in his home town and continured teaching there for 
several years.
His likeable qualities, industry and attainments made him personally popular and 
while teaching school he was elected Town Clerk of the Town of Mishicot and the 
Justice-of-the-Peace, which office was in that day a considerably more importance 
than it is now. He held that office until his election as Municipal Judge of 
Manitowoc county.
In 1887 and again in 1889 Judge Craite while still a young man, was elected to 
the State Assembly where he made a creditable record although his party was in 
the minority. While teaching school and holding various offices of public trust 
he used his spare time to studying law and on the 27th day of August, 1890, upon 
examination before the State Board he was admitted to the practice of the law. 
He commenced his professional career in his home village of Mishicot and for a 
time was associated with the late County Judge, Frank Mansau.
A few months before reaching his majority he was married to Miss Adeline Fortier 
who survives him. While no children came to bless this union his domestic life 
was most tranquil and happy. To a child he adopted he was a kind and indulgent 
father. His mother now 89 years of age survives him, living with a daughter in
Green Bay is a well, hardy and well preserved old lady.
The municipal Court for Manitowoc County was created by the legislative session 
of 1895 and the first election to the office of judge of that court was elected 
and entered upon the duties of the office the following month. His long and active 
service as a justic-of-the-peace, his knowledge of men and his experience at the 
bar eminently qualified him for the duties of that office and he was re-elected 
in 1897 for the long term of four years. No one ever questioned his honesty or 
integrity as judge. The amounts involved in the cases before him were not large 
but the cases ran a fair gamut of the law and he met every duty fearlessly, 
conducted his business expeditiously and made a very creditable record on the 
bench. 
His opinions and decisions were based upon common sense and sound judgement and 
his knowledge of men and of common, every day affairs was a great assistance to 
him and became a valueable asset to the county.
Upon retiring from the bench in 1901 he entered upon the active practice of the 
law in Manitowoc which continued to the day of his death. During that time he was 
associated with the late Richard Burke and with Edward Schmitz, but for several 
years practiced alone. For nearly twenty years he was one of the most prominent 
members of this bar, always enjoying a large clientage and securing his full 
measure of success in the trial of cases. No member of this bar could look upon 
him as an unworthy opponent in the trial of jury cases and the secret of his 
success in the trial of these case is not hard to find. His habits of life and 
thought perculiarly adapted him to dealing with juries. Unabashed in homely but 
fluent speech he was intimately acquainted with the homely side of a juryman's 
nature. Never a great reader of books he was a great reader of men, and took a 
kindly and genuine interest in all the little details of men's lives. On his 
journeys North for pleasure or on business and on his journeys elsewhere he 
always entered a smoking car and in a few minutes would be discussing with some 
traveler, no matter how lowly he might appear, the ordinary, personal every day 
subjects of particular interest to his fellow traveler. He would rather put up 
at a second class hotel, not from mercenary motives for there nothing approaching 
such nature in him, but because he felt that there, as in the smoking car, he 
could obtain information from the people than in the better class of service. 
The people he met there are less guarded in their speech, more frank in the 
expression of opinion, less veneered with that social hypocrisy born of organized 
society, and have a narrower range of subject of discussion. The judge was always 
fond of talking to such people, and his memory treasured everything they said, 
even the most trifling and apparently immaterial events, so that he could always 
call them to his aid when necessary. He would listen with equal interest to the 
politician discussing the government of the world and the quiet farmer discussing 
the relative value of foods for swine, and he would remember which was the best 
food and why. So in discussing a case to a jury, he was equipped for the task by
being able to talk to them about the little affairs that interested them, and 
while this kind of argument seemed irrelevant to the lawyers sitting around, it 
was in fact very effective; it placed him en raport with the jury and they felt 
as much at home with him as though they were sitting on a chopping block 
discussing neighborhood affairs.
For several years, Judge Craite was an active and an influential member of the 
Board of Education and at one time was nominated for the office of Mayor of 
Manitowoc, and though defeated, considering the time and character of the 
campaign he made a very creditable run for that office.
Some traits of the Judge's professional character is spoken of because that 
character belongs to us. Of him personally all men speak well and while there 
is for him, as for us and all lawyers, no hope that his professional work will 
live his memory will be preserved because of his personal worth and his genial 
disposition. He was charitable and kind-hearted, strong in his friendships, 
weak in his enmitties. Though he tried at times to make himself believe that he 
was unforgiving, he was not. He was broad in his personal views and quarreled 
with no man's beliefs.
He was a great story-teller and his stories were most always pointed and apropos. 
There is no faculty more valued and less understood than the use of a good story 
in an argument. Well told, it illuminates the subject so that even the dull-
witted can see its force. There is no boundary line between humor and pathos; 
they blend together so quietly that the change cannot be seen, and yet the very 
practicable man always thinks the man of humor is a mere jester and nothing more. 
We who knew Judge Craite well and measured words with him know that there was 
often serious purpose back of his jest or story.
In deference to universal precedent we ought not in conclusion omit the quotation 
that "he had his faults." So have the Pyramids, but from the dawn of history 
they have stood among the beleaguering sands of the desert and listened with 
attention to the fault finding centuries.
The faultless man is fortunately an impossibility; but were it possible to 
inflict the earth with such a monster, mankind would rise with one accord and 
slay it! To say a man had faults is to say that he is human. It will be well for 
the surviving relatives of the next who dies, if standing above his grave some 
friend can say without blushing as we can and so say of Judge Craite. He was a 
good friend, a good citizen, a good neighbor, a good husband, a good father, and 
an honest man.
He is at rest. The sorrow, suffering and disappointments of the world can torture 
him no more. The voice of Calumny cannot wound his heart nor words of love and 
kindness reach him.
"The joy, the triumph, the lament, the exaltation and the pain" of life are his 
no more.
Touched by the magic wand of the barrier at which all who live must pause, flung 
wide its gates to let him through and closing left us - not him - in darkness. 
And so, barred from the light of knowledge, in faith we hope and question. He who 
only a short time ago questioned and argued with us now sees and knows. We grope 
amoung the shadows of the night of life; he stands in the radiance of perpetual 
day. And so, we, his professional brethren, leave him to his rest, and await the 
breaking of that cloudless dawn, when, out of dark we shall meet and know.

on the ship met a young Spaniard by the name of Marcano, who she married when her 
family returned to England.
Husband Lost With Ship.

Mr. Marcano became first mate of the St. Mary, which sank with all hands the night 
the ill-fated Lady Elgin went down. Mrs. Crocker always believed (photo) the St. 
Mary was the ship said to have rammed the Lady Elgin.
William Henry Crocker, a capenter of Manitowoc, a widower with 13 children, wooed 
Mrs. Marcano for some time without success. When the Civil war broke out, his three 
eldest sons went to her, saying they wanted to enlist, but feared their home would 
be broken up unless there was a mother to care for the younger brothers and sisters. 
She became Mrs. Crocker and a home was waiting for the boys when they returned.
With her new family Mrs. Crocker was a busy, happy woman. She never had a servant. 
She did the family laundry and every week turned 50 pounds of flour into bread. 
Despite constant labor she found time to join the games of her children.
Feared to Handicap Youth.
Mrs. Crocker came to the home because she felt young and old could not live together 
without placing a handicap on youth. She was dearly loved by her companions and 
during the war worked tirelessly for the Red Cross.
For the last two years Mrs. Crocker has been confined to her room. A month ago she 
began to fall rapidly.
The funeral was held yesterday at Milwaukee and was attended by relatives from this 
city. Many floral offerings testified to the esteem in which Mrs. Crocker was held 
by the friends she had made for herself at her new home.

Croll and his partner were engaged in painting his home when he toppled from the 
staging, nearly 12 feet above the ground. When picked up, he was unconscious and 
remained so for a considerable time.
The man is extremely heavy and active and a fall from the height he fell is 
unusually dangerous because of the conditions.
For many years, Croll has been engaged in the painting trade and is widely known 
here. He lives at 1803 S. Tenth street.

married to Miss Augusta Mahke, this city, who with two children, Mrs. Wilfred Strube, 
and Grover Croll, Manitowoc, and a brother, Frank, survive him.
Well Known In His Work 
For the past number of years, Mr. Croll was active in the line of business which he 
had followed for many years and was one of the well-known members of his trade in 
Manitowoc and vicinity. Yesterday he and his partner were engaged in doing some work 
at the Croll home when he fell to the ground to receive the injuries which resulted 
in his death. Following his death, the remains were taken to the Pfeffer mortuary and 
later to the home here.
Funeral services will be held from the home at 1803 S. Twelfth street at 1:30 o'clock 
and from the German Evangelical Lutheran church at 2 o'clock on Thursday afternoon 
with Rev. Koeninger officiating. Interment will take place at Evergreen.

A fall from a scaffold upon which he was at work as a painter resulted in the 
fracture of the bones of the right ankle of William Cross, this morning, the 
accident occurring at the home of Louis Schuette where Croll was at work. Croll

of internal injuries which were at first feared. Croll fell 15 feet.

EDWARD S. CROWE

EDWARD CROWE, FORMER PILOT EDITOR, DIES
Published Weekly Paper Here For Many Years; Collapses At Desk Suddenly
Edward S. Crowe, 74, teacher, editor and life-long resident of the county,
died suddenly at his home, 914 St. Clair street, late Wednesday afternoon.
Death was due to a cerebral hemorrhage.
Mr. Crowe was taken ill at the office of his job printing plant on York
street. He had eaten a hearty dinner and did not complain of feeling ill.
Collapsing at his desk in mid-afternoon Mr. Crowe was removed to his home
in an ambulance. He died two hours later.
Funeral Saturday
Funeral services will be held Saturday. The requiem mass will be sung at
the Sacred Heart church at 9 a.m. following services at the home at 8:30.
Interment will be in Evergreen.
Mr. Crowe was born on a farm in Liberty, the son of Michael and Margaret
Crowe. He attended the district school and later came to this city to
enroll in the old north side high school. He pursued his studies after
high school days and secured a life teachers' certificate.
For a period of 18 years he taught schools in Manitowoc and surrounding
counties. He was principal of schools at Mishicot, Abrams and Prentice,
Wis. He also studied law but never practiced.
At the turn of the century Mr. Crowe entered the newspaper business. He
published the St. Nazianz weekly for three years. In 1904 he came to this
city and with A. Elmergreen took over the Manitowoc Pilot, one of the
oldest weekly papers in the state, established by Jere Crowley in 1859.
Democratic Organ
Three years later Mr. Crowe purchased Mr. Elmergreen's interest in the
paper and became editor and sole owner. Democratic in politics, the Pilot
became the official organ of the party in Manitowoc county.
Although close to the councils of the democratic party Mr. Crowe never
sought public office. Through his editorials he kept in close contact
with partisan politics of his 30 years of editorship.
In June, 1932, Mr. Crowe disposed of the Pilot to the Manitowoc Newspapers,
Inc., and the paper was taken over by the Herald-Times. Mr. Crowe continued
the job printing business in the paper's plant on the north side.
Transfer of the Pilot three years ago marked the passing of the last
weekly newspaper in this city. At one time there were six weekly publica-
tions here. The Manitowoc Pilot rose to prominence in the weekly newspaper
field in the days before linotype machines through the editorship of the
late John Nagle, who published the paper for 22 years from 1878 to 1900.
Widow Survives
Survivors are his widow; two daughters, Rosemary and Ellen; two sons,

Church Monday morning, the ceremony being performed by the pastor of the church, 
Rev. Fr. Loeze. The wedding party which was composed of the principals and a few

wedding breakfast, later arriving at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm Ziegler in the 
Town of Stiles, about three miles northeast of this village where they remained 
until yesterday. Mrs. Ziegler is a sister of the groom. Mr. Cummings is a very 
clever young man employed as rural route agent in Manitowoc County where he is 
deservedly popular. The bride is a daughter of Mr. Grimms of Grimms, one of the 
substantial citizens of this part of the state and is a bright, vivacious lady of 
much intelligence and pleasing manners. They returned yesterday to their home where

DAVID M. CURTIS

Slips from Rail of Navy Tug; Worker Drowns
David Curtis, 48, of 1717 Revere Drive, a worker at the Burger Boat Company, 
slipped from the rail of a U.S. navy rescue tug, on which he was employed shortly 
after nine o'clock this morning and drowned.
His body was recovered from the river, near the boat a little over an hour later
by crews from the coast guard cutter Tamarack. 
Fellow workmen on the tug who ran to the side of the ship after they heard the 
splash, tossed a rope to the struggling Curtis but he failed to see it and sank 
from sight after coming to the surface twice. 
No Inquest 
Coroner Theodore Teitgen, who was summoned, announced there would be no inquest.
According to a report of the accident filed with the Burger officials. Curtis 
was working with John O. Mell and August Braedel in fashioning an iron plate to 
the after rail of the ATR 89, a wooden rescue tug recently launched and moored 
at a fitting out berth below the Soo line bridge at the dock of the Portland 
Cement Company.
Mell and Braedel reported that Curtis asked them to get a plank and clamp for 
the operation, and when their backs were turned he evidently slipped and fell 
over backward into the river. Both heard the splash and ran to the side of the 
boat. Braedel grabbed a long rope and threw the end into the water close to 
Curtis.
According to the two workmen, Curtis evidently did not see the rope or a long
plank, which was tossed into the water by another worker, and sank from sight.
A call brought two boats from the Tamarack and Coast Guard divers brought the 
body to the dock. An inhalator squad from the Franklin street fire station 
worked over the body for some time but there was no sign of life.
Here Since 1925 
Mr. Curtis has been a resident of Manitowoc since 1925. He was born in Topeka,
Kansas, and when a young man located in Antigo where he married Miss Dorothy 
Pesl. After locating in this city Mr. Curtis followed the carpenter trade for 
a number of years and was employed in the rolling mill at the Aluminum Goods 
Company from 1933 to 1941, when he entered the employ of the Burger Boat 
Company.
He is survived by his wife, three daughters, Mrs. frederick Luebke, Mrs. Robert
Willott and Beverly, all of this city; a son, David, Jr., of this city; two 
brothers, Charles and Harry of Antigo; three sisters, Mrs. Arthur Wensing of this
city, Mrs. Elvin Tobey and Mrs. Arthur Standley, of Antigo; and a grandchild.
The body was taken to the Pfeffer funeral home. Funeral plans will be announced
