ALMIRA CHAMPLIN

Champlin - On Tuesday the fourth inst., at the 
residence of her daughters, Mrs. Almira Champlin, 
in the 78th year of her age.
Deceased was a native of  Vermont and emigrated 
to this county in 1843. Funeral from the house 
today. Friends of the family are invited to attend.
Manitowoc Pilot, July 6, 1876
********
Another Pioneer Gone
With the sincere regret which always accompanies the death of an estimable 
person, we announce the decease on the night of the 4th of July, of Mrs. 
Almira Champlain, mother of Mrs. P.P. Smith and Mrs. W. B. Jones. This lady 
was born in Fairfield, Vermont in 1797 and came to this city, then, an 
almost unbroken wilderness, in 1843 being one of the very first settlers, 
her husband, Mr. H.H. Champlain, having come here the year previous and 
purchased the Conroe Lumber mills near what is now the village of Clarks 
Mills. She had been an invalid for the past thirty-five years, was a kind-
hearted, patient and truly Christian lady, had a very retentive memory and 
being a great reader, her mind was stored with information of so extensive 
a character that she was entertaining in conversation and a favorite among 
all. The immediate cause of her death was disease of the brain. Her decease 
although, at her age, not unlooked for, has been a terrible blow to those 
nearest and dearest to her and we take pleasure in assuring them that the 
sympathies of a large circle of sincere friends are tendered them and that 
they are not alone in their sorrow -- for every one who had the pleasure of 
Mrs. Champlain's acquaintance feel that the mantle of death has fallen over 
one who during life might well be held up for emulation as embracing all 
those qualities which go to make mankind what it should be. Peace to her 
ashes.

HIRAM HYDE CHAMPLIN    (b. 1798)

Hiram H. Champlin, former owner of the Thayersburg Mill property, has been 
absent something over a year, during which nothing has been heard of him. The 
circumstances of his leaving are as follows: Between the 20th and 28 of November, 
1853, having sold his interest in the mill, and disposed of some personal estate, 
he left the residence of Charles H. Champlin, in Maple Grove, where he had been 
temporarily staying, with the avowed intention of going through Calumet and Fond 
du Lac Counties, for the purpose of purchasing cattle for logging. He had in his 
possession and secured in a belt around his person, about eight hundred dollars - 
four hundred in gold, and the balance in paper money.He left in the morning after 
the usual breakfast hour, and proceeded in a westerly or south-westerly direction, 
and reached the Shanty - erected by himself and Mr. Delano, for the purpose of 
boarding hands who were to be employed by them in logging - about noon. Here he 
found Mr. Delano alone, who prepared him some dinner, and at his request accompanied 
him to the river - about half a mile distant - and conveyed him across the river 
in a canoe, where the two separated, Mr. Champlin with the intention of going to 
Stauntonville, in Calumet County that day. Since then he has never been heard of, 
nor have his friends, by communicating with persons in various parts of the country 
where there was a possibility of his having gone, been able to obtain the remotest 
idea of his whereabouts.Mr. Champlin was somewhat above the ordinary height, very 
stoutly built and well proportioned. His weight was about two hundred and ten pounds. 
The expression of his countenance was mild and pleasant and his manners were quiet 
and unassuming. His complexion was florid, and his hair was thin and gray and worn 
in a braid to cover a bald place on the top of his hair. His age was about 55 years. 
Any person having any information that would interest his friends, will have the 
kindness to communicate with his wife, Mrs. Elmira Champlin of Manitowoc.

JOSEPH CHAPMAN

FLOATER FROM RIVER 
Missing Shipkeeper of Str. Italia, Disappeared Feb. 28, is Dead. 
BODY IN WATER TWO MONTHS 
Inquest Decides Accidental Death-Identified by Receipts on Body-Joseph Chapman 
Another "floater" was taken from the river this morning, identified as the body 
of Joseph Chapman, the missing shipkeeper of the steamer Italia of the Corrigan 
fleet, who disappeared February 28. Identification was completed through a 
receipt found upon the body and the inquest held over the remains found a verdict 
of death by accidental drowning. The body is at the undertaking rooms of 
Vogelsang & Murphy and will be held awaiting directions from relatives of the 
dead man at Cleveland, Ohio, his former home.
Chapman had been in the city several weeks and had been in charge of the Italia, 
which was in winter quarters here. He was last seen on the evening of February 28 
when he cashed a check of $29 at Scheutte Bros. Co.'s, store and settled some 
small accounts for the boat and himself. His disappearance was reported to the 
police a few days following and from investigations conducted it was thought the 
man was in Cleveland, Ohio and the search for him was given up. Nothing further was 
heard of Chapman until at an early hour this morning when Chas. Foerstenberger 
reported to the police that the body of a man had been turned up by the carferry 
Pere Marquette near the Schoch dock. Officers immediately recovered the corpse and 
the inquest was summoned by coronary Meany.
Physicians who examined the body gave it as their opinion that the man had been in 
the river several weeks and this first suggested the possibility that the remains 
were those of Chapman. No marks of violence appeared on the body and it was but 
slightly disfigured. A heavy overcoat closely buttoned about the chin encased the 
body which was fully dressed. Ten dollars in bills and a number of papers were found 
on the remains. Frank Gehbe, proprietor of the Two Rivers House, who is acquainted 
with Chapman, through the frequent visits which the man had made at the hotel, 
completed the positive identification.
Chapman was 38 years of age and hailed from Cleveland, Ohio. He is not known to have 
any immediate family. Unless friends take charge of the body it will be buried at the 
expense of the county.

LADISLAUS CHERNEY

Cherney Retires As Engineer at Kingsbury Plant
After serving 33 years as engineer at the Kingsbury Breweries Co. rotund, 
jovial Logic Cherney, 67, 1413 South 11th street, retired this week just 
to "take it easy."
Last evening he was guest of the "boys" at Reifs Mills, and Cherney's face 
flushed with pride when the gang presented him with a big overstuffed 
armchair as a retirement gift.
High tribute was paid to Kingsbury's chief engineer by President E.C. Badger 
of the company when he told the gathering that Cherney had never failed at 
his tasks. He should be called "Mr. Fix It," Mr. Badger suggested.
Cherney was born and reared near Mishicot, and when he was 14 years old went 
to work as a brewer for the old Mishicot Brewing Co., since dissolved.
When the Spanish-American war broke out in 1898, Cherney showed that he had 
the blood of a soldier running through his veins. He enlisted.
Following his release from service around the turn of the century, Cherney 
went to work as a salesman for the Smalley Manufacturing Co. of Manitowoc, 
but in 1912 he returned to the brewery business as an engineer.
Cherney Was Retained
He started working at the Schreihart Brewery Co. of Manitowoc then located 
at 10th and Washington streets. In 1918, the Schreihart Co. and Manitowoc's 
two other breweries, the Kunz-Bleser Co. and the Rahr Brewery Co., 
consolidated under the Manitowoc Products Co. and Cherney was retained in 
the consolidation.
In the early '30's the Manitowoc Products Co. changed its name to Kingsbury 
Breweries.
And then near-beer went out of existence when Roosevelt was elected in 1932, 
and Cherney was back in his old trade-making good beer.
Cherney and his wife, Anna, live alone at their home on South 11th street. He 
said he has been married 45 years and in five years he and his wife will 
celebrate their golden wedding anniversary.
Always Had A Joke
His son, Roland, has been a fireman at Kingsburys the past 13 years, and his 
daughter is now Mrs. Alex Baltos of Manitowoc.
All the gang knows Cherney as a good-natured Mr. Fix It who has never let them 
down. He worked hard and he had a sense of humor, fellow workers said. When the 
going was difficult, Cherney would sweat and become flushed in the face, but he 
could always come up with a joke about the situation, the gang said.
King Cole, sales manager at Kingsburys, started off the singing, following the 
dinner, and everyone joined in with the old fashioned songs so popular in 
Cherney's day.
Cherney's eyes were a little dim a few tiems during the meeting because this 
was the culmination of everything he had worked for all these long years-but 
the hardest part of retirement was leaving all the boys.

Hold Rites For Former Judge Chloupek Today
Manitowoc, Wis. - (Special)-
The funeral of former Judge John Chloupek, who died at St. Vincent's 
hospital in Green Bay Sunday, was held here this afternoon.
Judge Chloupek was 74 years old and his death resulted from a stroke 
of paralysis which he suffered in February 1934.

were fellow townsmen whom he selected about a month ago, all members 
of the Masonic order. They were Wilmer Haese, Charles Brandt, Earl 
Vits, Harold Groth, Reuben Spoentgen and Van R. Nieholson. Burial was 
at Evergreen cemetery.
Judge Chloupek served as judge of county and probate court here for 
thirty-four years. He resigned in November last year when he realized 
that death was imminent. He was taken to Green Bay soon after he became

Judge Chloupek was born in Manitowoc county on July 20, 1861. He attended 
the Narby country school and later taught country schools to earn money 
so that he might attend the university to study law. In the fall of 1900

resignation last year. Previous to that he served as clerk of the county 
for six years and district attorney four years.

JOSEPH CHLOUPEK

JOSEPH CHLOUPEK, COUNTY PIONEER, DIES AT AGE OF 84 
Bite of Dog Last May Hastened Death of Father of Judge John Chloupek 
Which Occurred Today 
Joseph Chloupek, father of County Judge John Chloupek, and one of the pioneer 
settlers of Manitowoc county, died at the hospital early today, aged 84 years. 
Mr. Chloupek had been at the hospital only since Saturday evening, having 
expressed a desire to be taken there after he had had been taken down town to 
visit a barber shop. Sunday morning, when members of the family visited him, 
he was unable to recognize them and during the day failed rapidly and passed 
away at 7 this morning.
Mr. Chloupek's death is believed to have been hastened by the shock he suffered 
last May when he was attacked and bitten by a dog. Since the time he had been 
failing and during the past month or six weeks he had been confined to the house.
Born at Guttenberg, Bohemia, Feb. 2, 1832, Mr. Chloupek was past 84 years of age. 
He came to America in 1848 and in 1849, with his parents, located on a farm at 
Francis Creek. For years he made his home in Kossuth where he was  a power in 
politics, the present judge organizing the young men of the town in a contest 
for supremacy and winning. Though he wielded an influence in politics of the 
county, Mr. Chloupek had never sought office and the only position he ever held 
was that of town treasurer of Kossuth.
In 1901, Mr. Chloupek retired from the farm and with his wife removed to this 
city, taking up their home on Michigan avenue. Mrs. Chloupek died seven years 
ago, since which time he had made his home with his son. Up to a short time ago 
Mr. Chloupek was active but for two months or more he had been unable to be 
about.
Mr. Chloupek is survived by four sons and two daughters, Dr. Charles Chloupek, 
Green Bay; Erwin and Edward of San Francisco; John Chloupek of this city, Mr. 
John Braun, Two Rivers and Mrs. Kumbalek of Chicago.
Decedent was the last of a family of seven brothers and one of the early settlers 
of Kossuth which had been his home for so many years.
Mr. Chloupek was a member of the Masonic order and it is said that the Chloupek 
family was the first, with father and son members, to have a grandson initiated 
a member of the order, decedent and his son, John, having been present when the 
latter's son, Eugene Chloupek, became a member of the local lodge. 
Funeral services will be held from the home of John Chloupek Wednesday afternoon 
and will be under auspices of the Masonic lodge.

JULIA CHLOUPEK  (d. 1930)

MRS. CHLOUPEK, WIFE OF JUDGE, DIES AT HOME
Brief Illness Follows in Death to Shock Friends in City; 
Was a Life-long Resident
A heart ailment which had confined her to her bed for the past ten 
days, shortly after 1 o'clock this afternoon claimed the life of Mrs. 
John Chloupek, wife of Probate Judge John Chloupek. Death occurred at 
the family home at 1502 Michigan avenue.
News of the death of Mrs. Chloupek, one of the most beloved of women 
and a pioneer of the county, came as a shock to the entire city as many 
were unaware of her illness. The end came suddenly as her condition was 
not regarded as serious this morning. With her at the time of her death 
was her husband, Judge Chloupek who himself is slowly recovering from 
an attack of illness which he suffered many months ago and which has at 
times confined him to his home.
Was 67 years of Age
Mrs. Chloupek was born in Manitowoc about 67 years ago and was Julia 
Bressler, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bressler, prior to her 
marriage to John Chloupek on May 16, 1888. Her entire lifetime was spent 
in the city and county of Manitowoc where she enjoyed a wide circle of 
friends, all of whom regarded her with an unusual degree of respect and 
affection. To them and to many others of the city she was "Mother" 
Chloupek and her kindly sympathetic nature made her welcome wherever she 
went. Primarily interested in her home and family, she was the mother of 
four children, Eugene at Evanston, Ill., Frank at Dallas, Texas, Roland 
at Milwaukee and Mrs. Al Goedgen at Green Bay. Ten grandchildren also 
survive.
Funeral arrangements have not been completed but will be announced tomorrow.

JULIA CHLOUPEK    (bur. 1876)

When entering the obit for Elizabeth Prohaszka and consulting with the cemetery
office, this was discovered:
Also buried on that lot (supposedly on the same day 7/10/1876) is a Julia Chloupek.
The burial register only has buried Mrs. Stupelzky? Friend. So, if Mrs. Prohaszka 
was the friend buried on 7/10/1876, then perhaps Julia Chloupek was not really buried 
on that day. Perhaps the records for the two women got mixed up. I have a Julia 
Chloupek buried in section K in 1930, but I'm not sure it would be the same one.
There was some connection between the families, because I found this on the site in 
the Edwards Directory: 'Prochazka & Chloupek (Anton Prochazka and Emanuel Chloupek),
machinists, 9th, cor. Chicago".
