JEROME ARTHUR DICK (d. 1919) ANOTHER LIFE CLAIMED BY THE OPEN DRAW Jerome Dick Loses Life When Car Goes Into River Another life has been ? to the danger lurking in the open bridge draw. Jerome Dick, well known business man and head of the Dick Bros. Bakery company, having met death early Saturday evening when his automobile plunged into the river from the north approach at Tenth street while the bridge was open for a passing carferry. Fred La Jennessee, a Milwaukee salesman, who was in the car with Mr. Dick either fell or was thrown out of the automobile just before it plunged over the abutment, and he escaped unhurt. The body of Mr. Dick was recovered from the river four hours after the tragedy and the car, a Ford touring car, was also recovered. The body of Mr. Dick was taken to the Urbanek & Wattawa undertaking rooms and removed to the home later. Two gashes on the head may have been caused by the ice or contact with the windshield or frame of the car when Mr. Dick was thrown from the machine as it made the fatal plunge. Physicians said that there was little water in the lungs which would indicate that the unfortunate man had been stunned. On Way to Train. The accident happened at 6 o'clock while Mr. Dick was driving Mr. La Jennessee to the Northwestern station, the Milwaukee man desiring to leave for his home on the evening train. Mr. Le Jennessee, whose home is at 185 Garfield avenue, Milwaukee is a sales agent for a door spring and was at the Dick Bros. bakery where he has made sales, when Mr. Dick returned to the store from a business errand in the city. Mr. Dick desired to secure some additional springs and was told by Mr. LeJennessee that the latter had some in a grip at the Northwestern station and Mr. Dick volunteered to drive to the station with the agent. Car Turns Around. With but a few minutes to elapse before the train was due Mr. Dick was evidently hurrying on his mission and was driving at a good rate of speed when he turned on Tenth street and Mr. LaJennessee said that he called attention of Mr. Dick to the fact that the bridge was opening as the car approached Commercial street. Police officer William Lash, who had just crossed the bridge to the north side, saw the danger of the car and its occupants and stepped into the street and signaled Mr. Dick to stop but the car was going too fast and the officer had to step aside to avoid being hit. A woman pedestrian shouted warning as the car neared the approach and Mr. Dick evidently applied his brakes. The car slowed but its speed turned it completely around and Mr. LaJennessee rolled from his seat onto the approach just as the automobile, with Mr. Dick, left the abutment and plunged downward, turning on its side as it fell. Dick Out of Car. Mr. Dick was thrown from the car as it struck the water but he was unable to swim and had probably been dazed so that it would have been impossible for him to save himself in any event. Before Officer Lash, who secured a life buoy and the carferry crew who threw out a line could aid, Mr. Dick had gone down to his death. Capt. Larsen's Story. Capt. Larsen of the Ann Arbor ferry, in report of the accident said: "The bridge was slow in opening and I had brought the ferry almost to a stop. I saw the automobile tearing down the street and sounded two sharp blasts of the whistle as a warning but it was evidently impossible for the driver to stop. I think that the car plunged into the river sideways, skidding as the brakes were applied, as there was a covering of snow on the approach. We shouted to the people on the approach to throw a buoy into the river but there seemed to be delay in getting a rope released and I threw one from the ferry. I could see the man in the water and I thought I heard him shout but am not certain. We backed the ferry but had to stop because we feared striking the man and after we had reversed the engines the man had disappeared. Lash's Statement. "I had just crossed the bridge exchanged greetings with the tenders and was near the corner of Commercial street when I saw the car approaching and stepped into the street and held up my hand but the driver sounded his horn and I had to clear the way," said Officer Lash, after the accident. He told of his efforts to get a line to Dick after the car left the approach and later climbed down the abutment in an effort to reach Mr. Dick who, however, disappeared from view under the water. Body is Recovered. Chief Trochlell who reached the scene a few minutes after the accident, directed the work of recovering the body. Officers Ed. Ladwig and Lash, with B. Nespor, a brother in law of Mr. Dick, making the search which was rewarded at 10 when the body was pulled from the water at the west side of the abutment near several piles. The car had previously been taken out by the police with aid of a scow secured at the shipyards. Tragedy Arouses Public. News of the accident spread quickly and a large crowd visited the scene to watch the work for recovery of the car and body. There was strong censure voiced for city officials for failure to take some steps to protect the bridge draws. Mr. Dick Well Known. Jerome Dick had been a resident of this city nine years and was well and favorably known and universally respected. He was born at Hooglide, Belgium in March, 18?4 and came to the United States in April ? locating at Green Bay where he ? his business and remained for four years. He came to Manitowoc in 1910?

BERTHA DICKE DEATH TAKES MRS. DICKE, ILL LONG TIME End Came After Days of Battling For Life—Born in This City Death came to Mrs. Bertha Dicke, widow of the late W. F. Dicke at the home of J. G. Lehmkuhl at noon today, ending a lingering illness of several years. Mrs. Dicke had been in critical condition for several days and death was not unexpected. Mrs. Dicke, nee Wagner, was born in this city December 3, 1855 and had made her home here most of her life. Married 33 years ago, Mrs. Dicke was widowed fifteen years ago. Mrs. Dicke is survived by two sons, Kurth of Medford and William E. of this city and by one brother, Ernst Wagner of LaCrosse. A large circle of friends will sincerely mourn her demise. Mrs. Dicke had made her home with her son William on S. Eleventh street but during her last illness was at the Lehmkuhl home. The funeral will be held from the Lehmkuhl residence, 1502 Washington street Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock. Manitowoc Daily Herald, November 18, 1912 P. 1 ******** [cause: dropsy] ******** A DANGEROUS BRIDGE. For years people have complained about the bridge, or rather embankment, that crosses the Little Manitowoc, near its outlet. It has been the cause of countless screams of ladies who crossed it on teams, while men rode over slowly and carfully, never feeling perfectly safe. Last Sunday afternoon an accident happened, which might easily have ended seriously and which should cause the authorities to take proper steps for the safety of the traveling public. While the mother, wife and infant son of Mr. Wm. Dicke, together with his sister Mrs. Lehmkuhl, were driving across, on the day above mentioned, the horse became suddenly scared at the carcas of a dog floating in the river, and backed the wagon with its inmates into the slimy water. Through the presence of mind of Mrs. Lehmkuhl, who held the reins at the time of the accident, the others were held together, and managed to keep their heads above water until help arrived. The little baby boy, of course, suffered most severely. Had this happened at night, when no help would have been near, the serious accident would have turned out a terrible tragedy. This is a matter from which the injured suffer, but from which the proper athorities should profit. You can search the entire county, and you can nowhere find such a wretched apology for a bridge, as the embankment of dirt, with a few slabs on each side that crosses the Little Manitowoc, and makes the road leading to Two Rivers dangerous to human life.

FRANKLIN E. DIEBERT F.E. DIEBERT ACCIDENTALLY KILLED VICTIM OF OWN GUN PREPARING FOR FISHING TRIP Shot Through Heart by Accidental Discharge of Automatic Franklin E. DIebert was accidentally shot and instantly killed at his home, 2509 Clark street, shortly before 7 o’clock this morning while cleaning his automatic shot gun. Diebert was alone in his garage at the time of the accident and his body was found a few minutes later by his wife who had come out to call him. She found him lying on his back over some paint cans and at first thought he had been victim of carbon monoxide gas, but when she attempted to move him, discovered the wound in the chest. Life was extinct, however, death having been instantaneous. A doctor was called and after the facts had been learned it was decided no inquest would be necessary as it was clearly established the death had been accidental. Was Up Early. Exactly what happened can never be learned. Diebert had made arrangements to leave on a fishing trip with friends either today or early tomorrow morning. He had been at Edward Pilger’s home last night and it had been agreed that Mr. Pilger, his son, Myron, Carl Hanson and Diebert would leave this afternoon after Diebert had completed the day’s work on his engine or would leave Sunday morning for Neopit. Pilger was to take a tent along in case the party decided to remain for an extra day or two, the stay depending on their success at fishing. Mr. Diebert arose early and after a visit to a neighborhood store, returned to the house. It was still too early to start for work and he went to the basement, took the shot gun, which had just been returned after having been loaned to a friend, to the garage for an examination and a cleaning. The cleaning materials were found on the running board of the car. A shot was heard by a neighbor and by Miss Rubie Diebert, the daughter, but neither paid any attention to it, thinking that it was a tire blowout. Mrs. Diebert did not hear the shot and shortly after 7 o’clock went to call her husband and found a tragedy. Born at Chicago. Franklin E. Diebert was born in Chicago March 11, 1883, and was forty-four years old at his last birthday. He became interested in railroading early in life and located at Green Bay, where he was employed by the Chicago and North Western, rising from the position of fireman to engineer. He held freight runs and for some time held the Eland Junction passenger run, but of late had been on the Calumet yard switch engine, working the shift from 8 o’clock in the morning until 4 o’clock in the afternoon. And he was dressed for work when the accidental shooting took place this morning. Married at Green Bay. Nineteen years ago he was married to Emma Reimers at Green Bay and the family continued to make their home at the Bay until fourteen years ago when his duties called him to Manitowoc and he has always since made his home here. It was at Green Bay that he became identified with the Masonic lodge and after his arrival here he demitted (sic) to become a member of the local lodge. He was active in the organization and worked through the chairs to become the worshipful master, a position which he held during the inception, building and completion of the new temple, a project in which he took much pride and for which a great deal of credit was due him. Through his official capacity he also became active in the grand lodge of the state and after serving in appointive position was elected to the grand junior wardenship at the annual meeting in June, the installation taking place at the Manitowoc temple only three weeks ago. He was a candidate for mayor against Martin Georgenson in 1925 but was defeated. He had served as president of the Manitowoc County Fish and Game Protective association, was active in the Izaak Walton league, had been a member of the park commission and in addition to being a member of the blue lodge was a member of the Chapter and of the Easter Star here. Surviving Mr. Diebert are his widow and one daughter, Miss Rubie, a graduate of the local high school with the class of 1927, and a member of the Herald-News staff since leaving school. His father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Diebert of Chicago, also survive him. The body was taken to the Vogelsang undertaking parlors and the funeral arrangements had not been completed but the services will be in charge of the Masons and will probably take place Monday afternoon. Manitowoc Herald News, August 6, 1927 P. 4 ********* FATAL GUN ACCIDENT Franklin E. Diebert, prominent in Wisconsin masonic circles, popular citizen was accidentally killed last Saturday morning by the discharge of a magazine shot gun which he had started to clean. Mr. Diebert was a locomotive engineer on the C & NW railway. He arose early Saturday and had time before he was required to go to work. He took the gun which had been returned by a neighbor and went to the garage. The cleaning materials were found at hand. Mr. Diebert was found with a ghastly wound in his chest. He had plainly started to clean the gun and received a charge at close range which had killed him instantly. He was born at Chicago March 11, 1883 and had been in the railroad service since youth. He was most generally known in connection with Masonic activities and though having made a good run against odds for the office of mayor in 1925. He has had many Masonic honors and only three weeks before his death was installed with ceremony into the office of Grand Junior Warden. He had served as President of the Manitowoc County Fish and Game Protective Association, was active in the Izaak Walton League, has been a member of the city park commission and in addition to being a member of the blue lodge was a member of the Chapter of the Eastern Star here.
