BERTHA CARUS

Items From The Pilot Files - Twenty-Five Years Ago (1887)
Bertha Carus of this city died on Thursday evening of last week of 
diphtheria. The case is indeed a sad one. She contracted the disease 
while caring for her brother's child, the little one having been left 
motherless by the dread disease. Bertha was 18 years of age at the 
time of her death and was a girl of rich mental endowments. She was 
preparing to become a teacher and few have worked to better purpose. 
Her death is a sad affliction to her aged parents.

Mrs. Carus' vitality had been greatly reduced in the past two months, from

dreadful disease (at any time) took hold of her she was not in condition to 
combat it. She leaves a husband and one infant child.

Mr. Carus is now in the city looking very ill and is receiving the condolence

CAPT. EDWARD CARUS

Capt. Edward Carus, veteran Great Lakes Skipper, Is Dead
Suffers Stroke While Resting at His Home
Capt. Edward Carus, 87, veteran Great Lakes skipper who began his 
sailing days back in 1874 died Friday night as Manitowoc opened its marine 
centennial, marking the 100th anniversary of the construction of the first 
sailing vessel here.
Captain Carus suffered a stroke as he sat in a chair in the yard of his home 
at 1209 Franklin street Friday afternoon and died a few hours later. A 
prolific writer in the years when he retired from sailing, Capatin Carus 
authored a series of articles on early day shipping which appeared in the 
Herald-Times and other newspapers.
During his years on the lakes and following his retirement he ????red a fine 
collection of marine pictures which covered several volumes and was regarded 
as one of the most accurate and complete collections of marine data in the 
country. He also collected many marine ????ous which he turned over to the 
museum of the County Historical society.
Pens His Own 'Log'
Masonic funeral rites for Capatain Carus will be held at 2 p.m. Monday at the 
Masonic Temple, with the Rev. F.C. St. Clair of the St. James church officiating. 
Burial will be in Evergreen cemetery.
Mindful of the newspaper man's search for data, Captain Carus a few years ago 
penned out a story of his activities which he captioned the 
"Log of Capt. Edward Carus."
Captain Carus in 1935 completed a chronological record of disasters of lake 
vessels from 1900 to 1935, with statistics on several hundred ships, which was 
the culmination of years of study and research. Assisting him in his work was 
his wife, Mary.
His marine album collection, which he disposed of in 1939, contained over 2,000 
photographs. He took this step to get some rest from the constant flow of 
visitors to his home to check on marine matters. He carried his marine life right 
into his home following his retirement from the lakes. Over his study in the rear 
of his home, was a large sign "Pilot House."
'Shipped Out' at 14
Born in this city in 1860 Captain Carus early turned to the lakes. When only 14 
years of age he shipped on the schooners L?na and Mariner and the following year 
was a member of the crew of the schooner Sea Gem. In 1878 he shipped as a watchman 
aboard the steamer Oconto and that fall went to New York by way of the Erie canal 
and joined the crew of the steamer Crescent City for a trip to West Indies. The 
following spring he returned to the Great Lakes.
In the spring of 1881 he went out as second mate of the steamer Menominee and later 
was on the steamer DePere. The next three seasons he was mate on the Corona trading 
between Manitowoc and Menominee, Mich., and to 1887 was mate of the Joseph L. Hurd, 
trading from Chicago to Lake Superior ports.
In 1863 Captain Carus shipped as first officer of the steamer Eastland, which capsized 
in the Chicago river in 1915 with a loss of 815 excursionists. He was captain down 
through the years of the following steamers: George A Marsh, North Star, Nellie, Hunter, 
Corona, Sheboygan, City of Ludington, Georgia, Badger State, Empire State, Easton Soo

CAPTAIN CARUS DIES FRIDAY
(Continued from Page 1)
City, George Burnham.
He was skipper of many steamers of the Goodrich Transit company plying the west shore 
of Lake Michigan from Chicago to Manitowoc.
Collected Marine Data
During World War I he was employment agent at the Manitowoc Ship Building company and 
took many of the cargo ships built at the yards to the Atlantic seaboard. He took all 
the ships on their trial runs before they cleared the coast. He remained with the yards 
until 1930, when he retired, but at times skippered the Buccaneer, a yacht owned by 
President Charles West of the Ship building company.
His active sailing days over, Captain Carus did not allow his interests in marine matters 
to lag. He continued his album collections of pictures, and with his typewriter before 
him in a little study at his home, wrote amny interesting stories, illustrated with 
pictures, of lake marine disasters.
His wealth of knowledge of lake data, brought him many visitors form other cities who 
checked through his collection with great interest. He was active in Masonic circles and 
was honored with a 50-year certificate of the order several years ago.
Captain Carus married Miss Mary Bahr in 1890. She died in 1945. There are no immediate 
survivors.
The body may be viewed at the Frazier mortuary after 2 p.m. Sunday and will be moved to 
the Masonic Temple Monday morning to lie in state until the hour of the services.

(By Capt. Edward Carus)
The above picture, taken of the lower harbor here in 1887, was a common 
one in the local harbor in the seventies and eighties, with vessels in 
the harbor loaded with forest products from Wisconsin enroute to the 
Chicago and Milwaukee market. These vessels, encountering strong head 
winds put into the harbor here for shelter. As soon as the wind shifted 
they all got under way for their destination.
The vessel lying broadside in the harbor was the Mediterranean. A few 
years before, on Sunday, June 22, 1871, this same vessel arrived here 
from Buffalo, New York, with a locomotive on her deck. This locomotive 
came here by water as did most of the inhabitants in those days. Since 
the railroad has been built many people who were born in Manitowoc and 
died here of old age were never out on the lake, but every year people 
from the south and west come to the lakes purposely to make a trip on 
the water.
The locomotive which came on the vessel was named "Ben Jones" in honor 
of Manitowoc's foremost citizen of that time. It was a great day for 
Manitowoc, the whole town turned out and lined the docks at North Sixth 
street where the vessel was lying. The next day the vessel was towed up 
river into the corner near the ship yard gate. Then the locomotive was 
jacked and blocked up, rails were placed on the schooner's rail leading 
to the yards and the Ben Jones was eased off into the railroad yards. 
In the picture may be seen the old wooden Eight street bridge with the 
hog trusses to strengthen it. This bridge was replaced about 1890 by an 
iron swing bridge and again a few years ago with the present one. East 
of the bridge may be seen the old city elevator built by subscription 
and sold to the William Rahr's Sons Co., and moved to their plant.

ABOUT TO END HIS CAREER ON LAKES WHEN INJURED
On the day he planned to end his service as a captain on the lakes to engage in 
business here to be near his family and while engaged in assisting in fitting out 
the steamer, Burnham, from which he was to retire, Captain Ed. Carus was seriously 
injured Sunday morning. Captain Carus sustained a compound fracture of the leg 
below the knee when he fell from a ladder, a rung of which broke. The bone protruded 
from the flesh and it was feared at first that Captain Carus had been fatally hurt. 
He was removed to his home where he will be confined for some time. Captain Carus 
had retired from the Burnham but at request of the owners was assisting in fitting 
out the boat ready for departure when the mishap occurred.

ELIZABETH V. CARY

DAUGHTER OF DR. AND MRS. E.C. CARY IS DEAD
Ill one week but with her condition causing no alarm, the news of 
the death of Elizabeth Virginia Cary, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. E. C. 
Cary, at the family home at Reedsville at 9 o’clock last evening came 
as a shock to friends and relatives in the county. The child was taken 
ill with pneumonia a week ago and her condition up until yesterday 
afternoon gave no reason to cause alarm but suddenly came a turn for 
the worse and she passed away last night. The funeral will be held 
Saturday morning with services at St. Mary’s Catholic church at 
Reedsville at 9 o’clock, Rev. Grace of Maple Grove officiating and 
burial will be at Evergreen cemetery in this city. 
Born at Reedsville September 13, 1914 Elizabeth Cary was thirteen at 
her last birthday. She was a most popular and active little child, 
being interested in both school and outdoor activities. A member of 
the eighth grade with high marks she was planning on the high school 
for next fall. She was also greatly interested in music and had been 
assigned an important role in a concert which was to be given shortly 
by the Sisters of St. Mary’s school at Reedsville. She was also a member 
of the Girl Scouts Troop of Sacred Heart church of this city and attended 
the meeting regularly. She was a charter member of the Legion Auxiliary 
at Reedsville. Besides her parents, Dr. and Mrs. E.C. Cary, she is 
survived by one brother, John and the two had been pals in every sense 
that the word implies. The death is a sad blow and the many friends of 
the family extend their sympathy.

Death’s Call
“With silence only as their benediction, God’s angels come, Where, 
in the shadow of a great affliction, The soul sits dumb.” 
The above lines from Whittler’s poems was brought forcibly home 
when after a brief illness of but six days, Elizabeth, only daughter 
of Dr. and Mrs. Cary, was called from a happy home where her sunny, 
cheerful ways had shed radiance for the thirteen years that God saw 
fit to leave her on earthly scenes. Everyone’s friend, a smile and 
hearty greeting for young and old, words cannot depict the gloom 
that her passing has cast on her family, relatives and friends who 
can scarcely realize that her voice no more will greet them in life’s 
journey but although gone from our midst-
“The charm of her virtues, as Heaven’s own breath, Shall rise like 
an incense from darkness and death.” 
Her funeral which was held Saturday from St. Mary’s Catholic church 
Reedsville, with interment in Evergreen cemetery, Manitowoc, was 
attended by friends and relatives from far and near, many being 
unable to get into the church for the solemn services of the requiem 
high mass celebrated by Rev. Fathers W.H. Grace, Maple Grove, Rev. 
Edward Wagner, Oshkosh, and Rev. Koblinski, Reedsville. Floral 
tributes beautiful beyond description attested to the high esteem in 
which although but a child, she was held in the hearts of those who 
knew her during her lifetime. Dr. and Mrs. Theodore Schulte, of 
Milwaukee, Miss Josephine Schulte of Kenosha, and Fred Schmidt of 
Kenosha who were here to attend the funeral returned to their homes 
Sunday afternoon. William Cavanaugh of Hudson, Mrs. Dennis Cavanaugh 
of Chicago and Joseph Schulte of Cleveland left for their homes Monday.

her husband she was brought in contact with many people and every 
acquaintance became a friend. Every form of human suffering appealed 
to her sympathetic nature and the spur of every effort of her life 
was an unselfish desire to administer to the care and comfort of others.

association and of the various women's societies of Sacred Heart 
congregation. She was a most devoted member of her church whose 
principle she faithfully exemplified in her daily life. Besides her

CAREY SERVED WITH TANK CORPS OF U.S. ARMY
Local Boy Home from Overseas Tells of Thrills of Service in Operating Tanks in Battle
Sergt. William Carey(sic) of the U.S. Tank Corps, attached to the 365th? 
Brigade which when the armistice was signed, was preparing to get 
into action near Metz in the big drive that the allied forces had 
planned against that German stronghold, is home from overseas and 
is visiting with his mother, Mrs. C.A. Carey, on North Fifth street. 
Sergt. Carey, although glad to be home and happy that the war is 
ended says that the boys on the Metz front were not particularly 
rejoiced with the news of the armistice and the ending of hostilities 
because they had expected a chance against the enemy and were under 
orders to proceed against Metz. The real celebration took place about 
two miles behind the front line says Sergt. Carey. Although Sergt. 
Carey did not get into the line he experienced many of the thrills 
of tank corps action in his training abroad and witnessed the horrors 
of modern warfare which he declares are indescribable.  Sergt. Carey 
enlisted at Chicago in April last year and crossed in June ? training 
at Camp Colt, Gettysburg, Pa. He landed at Brest and later reached the 
Metz sector where he was about to be sent into action when orders to 
cease hostilities were received. Sergt. Carey says that there were 
1,800 men in a brigade of the tank corps with two light and one heavy 
machine battalion. There are 15 light tanks to a company and two men 
to a tank while for the heavy tank company there are five tanks and 
twelve to sixteen men to a machine, officered by a captain, two 
sergeants and four corporals. Sergt. Carey being attached to one of 
the heavy tank companies. His command was at St. Mihiel and at Argonne. 
That a drive was launched against the Germans only an hour before the 
signing of the armistice with heavy loss to the allied forces, is a 
statement made by Sergt. Carey, who apparently had little time for the 
British who ? says, had most of their fighting done for them by Canadian 
and Australian troops, the British regulars being held in reserve. He 
referred to one drive in which the American troops were sent over first, 
followed by the Canadians and Australians with the British making the 
clean up of prisoners after the other forces had whipped the enemy. 
Sergt. Carey is enthusiastic in his praise of the French officers and 
soldiers, “real fighters with ? courage and determination” as Carey 
described them. Sergt. Carey told of meeting Lieut. B. P. Herzog when 
he entered a restaurant at Iss Urr Tiel where Herzog was seated eating 
a lunch. “Believe me there was something stirring about that place just 
then and Pete and I sure did enjoy our little time.” He said that Lieut. 
Herzog had been injured twice in the service overseas and was at that 
time on his way to Paris and had been recommended for a distinguished 
service (illegible.) One of the pleasant incidents enjoyed by Sergt. 
Carey was a three weeks furlough during which he visited Nice, Monte 
Carlo and other points of interest. At Monte Carlo he had the pleasure 
of a personal meeting with Charles M. Schwab the ? magnate who he says 
was very popular with the American soldier boys, many of whom were 
gathered at Monte Carlo. Sergt. Carey met Reuben Nyhagen of this city, 
at Chicago on his way home. Nyhagen was attached to the 306th brigade, 
U.S. Tank Corps. Mr. Carey understands that he was in active service 
and participated in at least two of the big drives. Nyhagen is expected 
home within a few days.
