LEROY P. CISLER Car Injuries Fatal To Young Man Leroy Cisler, 23, Manitowoc, Dies Auto Rams Culvert Near Four Corners Leroy Cisler, 23, of 2240 Waldo Blvd., was fatally injured at 12:45 a.m. Thursday when his car went off County Trunk P and struck a culvert, a quarter mile east of Four Corners. Cisler died at the Memorial Hospital at 4:15 a.m. His death was the 16th traffic fatality in Manitowoc county this year. According to county traffic police, Cisler was driving east on the trunk when his car left the road, crossed a private driveway, and rammed into the culvert. Cisler was taken to the Memorial Hospital by Meihsner Ambulance, and told police there that he was blinded by the lights of an oncoming auto. Right Leg Fractured. Dr. Theodore Teitgen, Manitowoc County coroner, said Cisler’s right leg was fractured “in a half dozen places” when he was pinned inside the wrecked car. Dr. Teitgen said Cisler had a deep scalp laceration and was unconscious when brought to the hospital, then complained about a back injury when he came to. The coroner said Cisler’s injuries did not appear critical, and the case was turned over to a private physician. Cisler lapsed back into a coma shortly after 4 a.m., and died 15 minutes later. Dr. Teitgen said he had apparently suffered a fractured skull. Cisler was born in Branch in 1930, and after finishing school worked on the farm of his father, Joseph Cisler, near the village.

GEORGE CIZEK BOAT CAPSIZED, BOY LOSES LIFE George Cizek, 16 Years Old, Drowns in Lake, Body is Recovered Capsizing of a row boat in which he,, with a companion was on the lake Sunday morning, cost George Cizek, a 16 year old North side lad, his life, the body being taken with cramps when he attempted to swim to shore. The accident happened near the old pier piling on the lake at the foot of Chicago street and the body was recovered after five hours, thirty feet from shore, having been carried in by the undertow. Frank Kautsky Jr., who was with Cizek in the boat was rescued, having secured a hold on the boat which made it possible for him to keep above water until assistance reached him. Several boys planned a trip on the lake and secured a boat from C. Zechel. Kautsky and Cizek were the only ones to put out, however and Cizek used a board for a seat and it is probably that the accident was due to this fact, that in moving about the boat was capsized. Kautsky had presence of mind to get grasp on the boat but Cizek made an effort to swim and was probably attacked by cramps. John Bock and Chas. Clauder rescued Kautsky. A crowd of several hundred gathered to watch the search for Cizek's body but until afternoon it was unsuccessful. The dead lad was a son of Mrs. Emma Cizek, whose father died five years ago and was the oldest child of the family. He was a pupil of the North Side schools. The mother was almost overcome when told of her son's sad fate. The accident is one that should be a warning to boys. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Mon., July 16, 1906 ********* We must report another drowning accident. Sunday morning Areil Brandt, Frank Kautsky and George Cizek went out on the lake in a boat borrowed from the Zechel brothers. The lake was like a looking-glass and the journey went well. After a short while Brandt said he wanted to go back on land, and so his two comrades brought him to the shore and they went back out on the lake. They hadn't gone very far when the boat suddenly tipped over and both boys fell into the water. Kautsky hung onto the overturned boat, whereas Cizek, who was a good swimmer, decided to swim ashore, but it is likely that he suffered cramps and he sank into the deep before the eyes of his friend. Kautsky cried for help, which arrived quickly, and he was taken into the boat of John Bock and brought to land. Others searched for Cizek without results. The police were notified and Police Chief Drews and Capt. Carle came with grappling irons to search the lake bottom. Regrettably, in his panic Kautsky had forgotten the spot where the accident occurred… Finally, about 3 in the afternoon a couple of boys in a skiff spotted the body about 50 feet from the shore at the foot of Chicago Street. The body was brought aboard and taken to the residence of Joseph Mlada, an uncle of the drowning victim, and from there taken for burial on Tuesday afternoon. George Cizek was 16 years old, the son of a widow who lives on Chicago Street. Der Nord Westen, 19 July 1906 ******* BOY DROWNS. George Cizek, aged 16 years, a son of Mrs. Emma Cizek, Chicago street, drowned in the lake off the foot of Chicago street, near the piling of the old pier, last Sunday morning at 10:30 o'clock. The body was recovered at three o'clock in the afternoon, after a search of four and a half hours, during which time the lake bottom had been dragged by the police of the city and others. The news of the drowning spread rapidly throughout the city, and hundreds of people hurried to the beach to watch the search for the body of the drowned boy. The body was found in shallow water and about 30 feet from the shore, to which place it had evidently been carried while the dragging was in progress. The discovery was made by two boys who were then occupying the same skiff from which Cizek was drowned. The remains were taken in charge by undertakers Urbanek & Wattawa. George Cizek and Frank Kautsky, Jr., secured a row boat Sunday morning from Reinhardt Zechel, and went out on the lake for a pleasure trip. Kautsky was rowing the skiff and Cizek was seated on a board placed across the frail craft. When they arrived at a point in the lake near the old pier piling, Cizek stood up to look around. This caused the boat to rock, and a minute later the skiff capsized. Cizek, who was a good swimmer, made an effort to reach the shore; but, after swimming a few stokes, he suddenly went down and stayed down. There is reason to believe that he was siezed by cramps. Kautsky went down twice, but he finally managed to grab the side of the overturned boat, to which he clung until assistance reached him five or ten minutes later. He was rescued by John Boch and Charles Clauder. Mrs. Cizek was nearly prostrated when the sad news of her son's drowning was broken to her. She is a widow. Her husband died about two years ago. Another son, Charles, aged ten years, survives with the grief-stricken mother. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the residence on Chicago street.

JOB CLARK Oil Company Founder, Job Clark, 90, Dies Job Clark, 90, (photo) founder of the Clark Oil company and pioneer business man of Manitowoc, died last night at the home, 728 North Eighth street. Death was due to a heart attack. Mr. Clark, who drove an oil wagon on the streets of the city before the advent of electric lights, has been retired for a number of years. He earned his first wages at the age of seven, when he drove a cart hauling excavations from a brewery site here. Funeral Monday Funeral services for Mr. Clark will be held Monday at 2 p.m., from the home in charge of the Rev. Victor Nearhoof of the St. Paul's M.E. church. Burial will be in Evergreen cemetery. Born in Racine January 9, 1847, Mr. Clark came to Manitowoc when a boy, accompanying his parents here. He spent only his younger years at school and early in life (Continured on Page 13, Col. 3) CLARK, FOUNDER OF OIL COMPANY, DIES (Continued from Page 1) turned to earning a living. In addition to driving a dray wagon he delivered weekly newspapers and peddled apples. Among the thrills of his early life was the experience of seeking protection during an Indian scare in Manitowoc. One of the early business ventures of Mr. Clark was that of hauling wood from a lot near the old Luling school site to the Goodrich dock. After conducting a dray business Mr. Clark was associated with P.C. Hanford in one of the first oil businesses in the state. In those days he drove a team and wagon through the city, disposing of oil for lamps to grocery stores. For 27 years Mr. Clark was associated with the Standard Oil company here and saw the transition from the days of horse drawn wagons and rigs to the motor truck. Organized Oil Company Twenty-five years ago Job Clark and his sons organized the Clark Oil company, which established a bulk station and several filling stations here. He headed the company for a number of years and saw the business expand to include stations and facilities in a number of northeastern Wisconsin communities. Mr. Clark was an ardent supporter of the county fair. He boasted a record of having attended every show since the first fair was held in the county 76 years ago. He was especially interested in horse racing and in earlier days entered his own horses in the race program. Mr. Clark recalls the first county fair held in this city on the site of Washington park. When the fair was returned to Manitowoc from Clarks Mills in 1884 Mr. Clark became one of the shareholders of the association. Married in 1873 In 1873 he married Miss Eliza Andrews, Kossuth. Mr. and Mrs. Clark observed their diamond wedding anniversary on Thanksgiving day, 1933. Mrs. Clark died in December, 1934. Survivors are three sons, Dr. William H., Dale E., and George L. Clark, all of this city; two daughters, Mrs. Lillian Fishbeck and Mrs. Frank Shoblaska, both of this city; a sister, Mrs. James Worthington, Oklahoma City, Okla.; 11 grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.

Dec. 1971/SSDI) ********* LOCAL BOY WAS SECRETARY TO TWO HIGH ARMY OFFICERS To be secretary to one of the prominent commanding officers of the American Expeditionary forces in France was the privilege of Walter Clark who is here on a furlough from Camp Grant after his return from overseas. Mr. Clark was attached to headquarters company from the 172nd Brigade and was secretary to Maj. Gen. Martin and later to Brig. Gen. Andrews, the latter now assistant provost marshal general of the American forces overseas. Although Mr. Clark failed to get into the firing line he was on his way to the front and within ten minutes of active service on the morning that the armistice was signed, his command being under marching orders when word was received that the Germans had signed and hostilities had ceased. This was at LeMans, France, to which place the command returned and remained for a time. “I was rather disappointed not to have gotten into action when we received news of the armistice.” Says Mr. Clark, “but when I got into the hospitals later and saw some of the terrible results to the men who had been under fire I changed my mind and was well satisfied that I had been mighty lucky.” President Wilson’s presence at the peace conference as his own prime minister, Mr. Clark believes, is one of the big strokes which America has made in the settlement of the world’s war. “President Wilson is greatly respected by the French people and his opinions are accepted by them and while England may be less cordial to the president’s ideas, Great Britain’s diplomats recognize his power and will yield to his policies," says Mr. Clark.

ROBERT CLAUDER A boy 12 years of age named Robert Clauder was drowned yesterday while bathing in the river near Hanson's mill. The body of the boy was recovered in the evening. It is said the father of the boy was drunk and insisted upon the boy's going into the deep water, and was unable to give him assistance. These facts being reported an inquest was ordered. Manitowoc Pilot, July 12, 1888 ******** Drowning Yesterday afternoon, several boys were bathing near Brandt’s Ice House, while 12 year old Robert Klaube(sic), the son of Wm. Klaube(sic) who works at Smalley’s Factory as a painter (house painter), watched from the river bank. About the same time, the father of the boy came by, and the man was very drunk. Even though, he should have known that the river was very deep at that point, and that his son did not know how to swim. He told his son to take off his clothes and go in and bathe. The boy obeyed his father and jumped into the water and immediately sank into the depths and did not come up again. The heartless father went on another drunken tour in the city and let other people try to find his son’s body. The body was found around 7:30 PM and was taken to his home and given to the poor mother. Just after the spectators had scattered, the father of the drowned boy appeared, and without a word about the whole misfortune, he in a very drunken state, staggered into his house. Now where do you start with such a beast? We are certainly no admirers of corporal punishment, but we would not be against it if every day he received fifty deliberate words, we would just keep out of the way. Der Nord Westen, 12 July 1888 Translated by Nancy Zimmermann ******** Yesterday afternoon several boys were swimming in the river near Brandt’s Icehouse, during which 12 yr. old Robert Klaude, son of an employee of Smalley’s factory, stood on the bank. By chance, the boy’s father came along the path. The man was very drunk and, despite certainly being aware that the water was deep and the boy couldn’t swim, ordered his son to take off his clothes and jump in. The boy obeyed and promptly sank. The father continued into town to continue drinking, leaving others to search for the body. It was found about 7:30 p.m. and taken home to be given to the mother. (Article indicates that the boy’s grandfather undertook punishment of his son.) Der Nord Westen, 12 July 1888 Translated by Harold Bergeman ******* A boy named Robert Clauder was drowned in the river last Wednesday. The boy and his father went in swimming near Hansen's mill and the boy got beyond his depth and was drowned. It was rumored that the father was drunk at the time. At the inquest before H.C. Markham Esq., the father claimed to have dived twice after the boy but could not find him. It is a sad case to say the least.

SIGMID CLAUSEN SAILOR DEAD, BODY NOT CLAIMED Government Will Bury Carferry Sailor Who Died at Local Hospital. Sigrud (sic) Clausen a sailor employed on the carferry Ann Arbor 3 who was brought to the marine hospital in this city March 30 suffering from injuries which he sustained in falling on the boat while at work died Tuesday from pneumonia which developed after the man had been taken to the hospital. Clausen having suffered from pneumonia for only five days when death came to him. He was 32 years of age and according to his statements before death has no known relatives and the body will be buried by the government which makes provisions for care and burial of sailors where relatives cannot be located or fail to claim the body. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Wednesday, April 26, 1911 P.1 ******* CLAUSEN’S BODY NOT TO GO IN UNKNOWN GRAVE Urbanek & Wattawa Locate Sister Who Takes Remains BODY HAD BEEN KEPT IN VAULT Man is but a frail creature and he is but an atom in this mundane sphere of ours; he comes, he lives and he dies and the world goes on its way forgetting that he ever existed. When a man comes into a community unknown, takes sick and shuffles off his mortal coil an unfeeling community gets rid of his remains as soon as possible. Such an instance happened here this week when Sigrid Clausen a man without known kith or kin, without friend or acquaintance died at the Holy Family hospital after an injury suffered while working on a boat, pneumonia getting in and taking him off. The customary inquires were made and examination of the unfortunate’s effects gave no clew to his home or family and the county undertook to bury him. At this point however, circumstances entered into the case that interfered with the program as mapped out. Jos. Wattawa of the firm of Urbanek and Wattawa undertakers, conceived the idea that possibly some inkling of the man’s family might be obtained and so instead of putting the remains in a grave as instructed to do he had the body placed in a vault at the cemetery for five days. Thursday, while casually speaking about the instance, Frank Houghton who had been at the hospital at the same time as the deceased, told Mr. Urbanek that Clausen had at one time mentioned a sister at Oshkosh but no name had been given. With this slender clew Mr. Urbanek took the matter up with Mayor Banderob of Oshksoh who had an advertisement placed in the Oshkosh Northwestern relating the circumstances surrounding Clausen’s death and asking that the sister, if she still lived at Oshkosh to get into communication with the local undertaking firm. The day after the ad appeared, the sister of the dead man wired here and the remains were taken from the vault and today were sent to Oshkosh to be buried. Thus was an unknown grave robbed of its occupant and a family spared the years of uncertainty over the fate of one of its members.
