EMIL DUFEK

Emil Dufek is killed in collision
A member of The Herald Times Reporter Advertising Dept. was killed here Friday
morning in an accident involving his station wagon and a milk tanker truck.
The victim was identified as Emil R. Dufek, 58, of 2611 Marshall St., Manitowoc.
He was pronounced dead at the scene of crushing injuries.
The truck driver, who was not identified, was taken to an area hospital for
treatment.
Leroy Hughes, Calumet County coroner, provided this account of the accident:
One or two cars were traveling ahead of the White Clover Dairy tanker truck in
a westbound direction on Highway 10-57 at the west end of a railroad overhead
shortly before 10 a.m.
The lead car attempted a left turn onto Highway 57. The driver of the tanker
truck pulled to the right to pass the slowed down cars.
Dufek was traveling behind the tanker and tried to pass on the left side when
the truck operator pulled to the right. The Dufek apparently cut back in front
of the tanker. The tanker hit Dufek's station wagon and pushed it into the 
ditch in the northwest corner of the intersection. The tanker truck then
rolled over the top of the station wagon and came to rest beyond it in an
upside down condition.
Dufek's body was taken to Wieting Funeral Home in Brillion and was transferred
later to Urbanek & Schlei Funeral Home, Manitowoc. 
(snip/traffic stats)
Dufek, who was married and the father of three grown children joined the
newspaper advertising department in November of 1953. Prior to that, he
managed Manitowoc Circulators wholesale distributor of newspapers and Magazines

Dufek practically grew up in the newspaper business, starting at the age of
nine as a carrier boy for local and national publications.
He and his wife, Rita, had operated a real estate business. She formerly was
a telephone receptionist at the newspaper.

HERMAN DUMKE    (d. 1890)

A FATAL ACCIDENT
A Revolver's Deadly Work
A special from Manitowoc on Monday conveyed the intelligence of the shooting of 
Herman Dumke, on Sunday evening, by the accidental discharge of a revolver in 
the overcoat pocket of his cousin, Ernst Dumke of this city. The bullet struck 
the unfortunate man in the abdomen. Doctors were immediately summoned and the 
bullet probed for, but it could not be found. Dr. Senn, of Milwaukee was sent 
for, but upon his arrival and examining the wounded man he pronounced the case 
fatal. Mr. Dumke died Monday morning. A Times reporter called at the home of the 
Dumke's in this city and learned the following in relation to the sad accident; 
Mr. Ernst Dumke, in company with other relatives of this city was called to 
Manitowoc to attended the funeral of his aunt, the mother of the person who 
was shot. Previous to his departure Mr. Dumke drew out of the bank here, 
$1,400.00 which he intended to place at Manitowoc if he could make the necessary 
arrangements. Not wishing to carry so much money on his person, without some 
protection, he placed a thirty-eight caliber revolver in his overcoat pocket. 
He called on Sunday evening at the millinery store of his cousin in that city 
and took off his overcoat containing the revolver and laid it on the table. 
Shortly afterwards his cousin, Herman, picked up the coat and mistaking it for 
his own and discovering his mistake threw it on the table again, it striking in 
some unaccountable manner, discharging the revolver. The unfortunate accident 
is greatly deplored, by all acquainted with the family and relatives of the 
person who lost his life.  
The deceased was the proprietor of the Northwestern Vinegar Works at St. Paul. 
Mr. Chas, Kroesing of this city went to St. Paul to take charge of the works 
until the affairs can be settled up.

********
ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING.
Herman Dumke of Minneapolis was accidentally shot in this city on 
Sunday evening last. He came here to attend the funeral of his 
mother who was burned on Saturday. On Sunday evening he intended 
to walk out and proceeded to pick up from a table an overcoat 
which he suppose was his. On discovering that the coat belonged 
to his cousin he threw it back on the table, when a self-cocking 
revolver which was in one of the pockets was discharged and the 
bullet struck him square in the body in the region of the stomach. 
Doctors Pritchard, Luhmann and Kemper were called in and made an 
examination. They concluded that the stomach or intestines were 
not injured but also were satisfied that the wound is an extremely 
dangerous one.
The revolver is a 38 caliber Smith & Wesson. Ernst Dumke, in whose 
pocket it was had brought a quantity of money to deposit in a 
Manitowoc bank and put the revolver in his pocket as a matter of 
security because of the money in his possession. He had made some 
improvments in the hammer so as to remove, as he thought, all 
possibility of accidental discharge.
The injured man is about 42 years of age, married and was at one 
time a resident of Manitowoc where many of his friends reside. For 
a number of years he has traveled for a Milwaukee house and was well 
known in this seciton of the state.
Dr. Senn of Milwaukee was sent for and reached the city on Mondy. He 
at once pronounced the wound fatal and the injured man died that 
night. His funeral took place to-day. A special messenger was sent 
to St. Paul to notify his wife.

WILLIAM DUMKE    (d. 1931)

STROKE FATAL FOR PIONEER PHOTOGRAPHER 
William Dumke, 74, Passes Away at Hospital After Suffering From Stroke 
Relatives calling upon William O. Dumke, retired photographer and violin maker 
of the city, found him senseless on the floor of his home at 1021 Green street 
Saturday afternoon, Mr. Dumke apparently suffering a stroke on Friday evening 
to cause his death at the hospital here at 10 o’clock this morning. He was a 
life-long county resident and 74 years of age at the time of his death. 
The man was still alive when the discovery of his attack was made and help was 
immediately summoned, the examining physician expressing the opinion that he had 
suffered the stroke a number of hours before. The fall to the floor brusied him 
slightly and he was having difficulty with his breathing owing to his landing on 
his face when he fell. Call was immediately placed for an ambulance but Mr. Dumke 
never regained consciousness.
Born at Newton 
Mr. Dumke was born in the town of Newton on October 22, 1856, and attended the 
schools there. He never married and came to Manitowoc many years ago and was one 
of the pioneer photographers of this vicinity, conducting a shop on Washington 
street and still later on Eighth street. After disposing of his business to John 
Glander he entered the latter’s employ and was there for some time before retiring. 
In later years he devoted himself to the making of violins. 
Meticulous in the care of himself and his clothing, Mr. Dumke was a familiar figure 
in Manitowoc and was widely known among residents of the city. 
Immediate survivors include two sisters, Miss Doris Dumke and Mrs. Ida Lambrecht, 
both of this city. 
Burial on Thursday. 
The body was removed to the Vogelsang funeral home, Eighth and Marshall streets, 
and will be in state there until funeral services are held from the funeral home

ALEX M.G. DUSOLD

Alex Dusold, Pioneer Printer of Manitowoc Dies Today at Age 71 
Resident of Manitowoc All His Life; Rites Here On Monday 
Alex M.G. Dusold, 74, pioneer printer and former publisher of the Manitowoc 
________weekly newspaper printed in the German language died at Holy Family 
hospital at 10 a.m. today.
Mr. Dusold had been confined to the hospital for two and one-half weeks. He 
was in bed only one day prior to that although he had not been in the best 
of health. He was a sufferer from heart disease. 
In spite of rather poor health, Mr. Dusold continued in active charge of his 
job printing business at 928 South Ninth street until a day before he went to 
the hospital. His condition had been somewhat improved recently but took a 
change for the worse early today.
Mr. Dusold was a life-long resident of Manitowoc. He was born here March 18, 
1861. As a boy of 13 he began his apprenticeship in the printing trade. He 
obtained employment with the Norwesten, German newspaper, and was so employed 
when he married Miss Emily Krause at Mishicot Sept. 18, 1881. 
He became affiliated with Otto H. Schmidt in the publication of the Wahreit. 
This paper was merged with the Manitowoc Post, owned by Emil Baensch and edited 
by Walter Wittmann. The new German paper continued to publish for several years 
with Mr. Wittmann in charge of the editorial department and Mr. Dusold directing 
the mechanical and job printing departments. 
In late years, the Post’s subscription list was sold to a German weekly published 
at Winona, Minn., but Mr. Dusold continued the operation of a job printing firm 
under the name of the Manitowoc Printing company. This firm has been doing 
business for 21 years. 
Mr. Dusold’s father was one of the organizers of the Freier Saengerbund, oldest 
German singing society in Wisconsin. Mr. Dusold served as secretary of this 
organization for 17 years. He was also a second lieutenant in the old Company E, 
a member of the volunteer fire department, the F.R.A., Eagles and Knights of 
Pythias. He also held membership in the local typographical union for many years. 
Mr. and Mrs. Dusold observed their fiftieth wedding anniversary with a dance at 
Saenger hall last Sept. 18. Several hundred friends and relatives attended. The 
couple received many floral bouquets and telegrams of congratulations. 
Politically Mr. Dusold affiliated himself with the democratic party. He was a 
candidate for register of deeds, however on the republican ticket in 1930, but 
failed of nomination. At that time he expressed the opinion that a man aspiring 
for office in this county had to be on the republican ticket, hence his 
“democratic candidacy on the republican ticket.” 
Besides the widow, there are three surviving children, two having died in infancy. 
There is one daughter, Mrs. William E. Bartel of this city and two sons, Fred W., 
and Edwin W., both of this city; and four brothers, Edward and William of this 
city, Oliver of Sandusky, O., and George of Sheboygan. There is one grandchild, 
Bernice Bartel of this city. 
The funeral will be held Monday at 2 p.m. at Pfeffer’s Funeral home. The Rev. 
Paul Blaufuss will officiate and burial will be at Evergreen cemetery.

ED. DUSOLD, LOCAL BOY WHO DROVE TRUCK 6000 MILES IN WAR, WRITES OF EXPERIENCE
In a letter to his sister, Mrs. William Bartels, 1907 Western Ave. 
E.H. Dusold, Co. E. 14th Engineers, after referring to a number of 
family matters has the following interesting news to relate. “Will 
write you about the different places I was in. When we left New York 
it took us twelve days to make the trip on a German interned ship, 
the Princess Irene renamed the Pocahontas. Landed in St. Naziare and 
stayed there for a few days and were sent to Blois in the training 
camp where Napoleon trained his men a century ago and then left for 
an English engineering camp outside of the city of Rouen. Stayed in 
this camp for a few days and then left for Berneville and joined this 
regiment. We were with the British about five miles behind the lines. 
Got used to the guns and sometime later moved to Vendroux near Calais 
and stayed there until Aug 1; were released from the British and went 
with the Americans. When we left Calais we went to Chateau Thierry 
and stayed there a week and then went to a place called Trugy. Stayed 
in a farmer’s yard. There were buildings all around us. There was an 
old church there that had been partly demolished during a previous 
war. From there we removed to LaFollie, doing road work and there I 
ran into the 32nd Division’s train and met a Polish fellow by the name 
of Jake. I can’t recall his last name, who had talked with Bib the day 
before. The troops had taken another road so saw nothing of them. They 
had just come out of the lines at Esmes and had probably gone to the 
Toul sector. We moved up to Villa Laroye, about two miles from Fismes, 
returned to our place again and then crossed the River Marne to Dormaus, 
then moved to Limper about twelve miles from Verdun. Stayed there a few 
days and moved a part of the company to Lorey and some stayed in Clairmont 
Lufer and moved from there to Vranicourt and remained for sometime. The 
company moved to Paris and through Vranicourt to Lesislets and the next 
day returned to Vranicourt. Moved to Cheppy then to Rattantout and then 
to our present camp. We are just off the Grand Tranchee, near St. Maurice 
and Billy. Have a nice place. We are twenty-five miles from Metz, in 
Alsace Lorraine. We expect to have some spread today, chicken dinner, 
pie, grapes, apples, cigars and cigarettes. We won’t eat those though. 
Also have a band to play for us if it don’t rain. I have driven the 
truck 6,000 miles since I have been here and have no idea when we will 
leave for home.”
