Death is the victor in the brave fight which Mrs. John Frair of Milwaukee, 
nee Nora Kelley of this city made her life and claimed its victim Friday night, 
news of the death of Mrs. Frair bringing sorrow to a large circle of friends 
in this city. Mrs. Frair had been a sufferer for along time and a month ago

from weary sufferings. Mrs. Frair, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Kelley, 
was 34 years of age and is survived by a husband and three children, her parents, 
three brothers, John and Timothy of this city and Patrick J., Mansfield, Ohio;

Milwaukee. The body was brought to the city from Milwaukee Sunday morning and 
the funeral was held this morning at Sacred Heart Church. Mrs. Frair was beloved 
by many friends who will deeply deplore her untimely death.

JOHN H. FRICK    (d. 1921)

HEROIC BATTLE OF JOHN FRICK FOR LIFE FUTILE 
Death again emphasized the futility of human ambition and the unpitying decree 
of fate or destiny when it claimed John H. Frick, one of the city's well known 
young men, who passed away Saturday night after a heroic battle against the 
ravages of an insidious disease which had wasted his energy and made him prey 
to sudden taking away. News of his death came as a shock for while it was known 
that his condition was unfavorable, the end had not been expected and came 
suddenly and without warning. 
John Frick was 24 years of age at his death. Born at Ashland December 16, 1897, 
he came to Manitowoc with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Orlando Frick. In 1902, 
attended the local schools and graduated from the North Side high. He was employed 
in the offices of the Northwestern here and later with the Aluminum Goods company 
in its office up to two years ago when his health failed following an attack of 
influenza. He spent a year returned here when his condition did not seem to improve 
and three months ago entered Maple Crest at Whitelaw where his death occurred. 
Three years ago last June Mr. Frick was married to Aleet?? Gerpheide, daughter of 
Mr. and Mrs. Otto Gerpheide and besides his widow he is survived by his parents, 
one sister Miss Gladys Frick and two brothers Clyde and Stanley Frick and a half 
brother, Raymond Frick. 
The death of Mr. Frick will be deeply deplored by a large circle of friends. He was 
a young man to whom life's outlook was brought. He was possessed of ambition and the 
qualification and persistency that augured for a successful future. A faithful, 
devoted friend he was held in esteem by all who knew him and to those who knew him 
best, his character was best appreciated. 
Funeral services will be held from the late home 1524 Clark street tomorrow afternoon 
at 2 o'clock. The Rev. Keicher will officiate at the home while the Elks, of which Mr. 
Frick was a member, will have charge of the services at the grave.

ORLANDO FRICK

ORLAND FRICK DIES OF HEART ATTACK; WAS 76 
Funeral for Veteran Railroad Man and Plant Superintendent Saturday 
Orlando C. Frick, pioneer railroad man, for years plant superintendent at the 
Smalley company here, and a member of one of the earlier public utility 
commissions in Manitowoc, was found dead in bed Wednesday afternoon at the home, 
613 New York avenue, by his daughter, Miss Gladys Frick, deputy county clerk. 
He was 76. 
Mr. Frick had not been ill but yesterday complained to his daughter when she 
was home at the noon hour. However, he insisted that it was nothing serious and 
said he planned to rest during the afternoon. Miss Frick returned home from her 
duties at the courthouse at 3 p.m. to find her father dead. A physician who was 
summoned said he died a few minutes before of heart attack. 
Funeral services for Mr. Frick, who worked with the first crews that laid the 
rails of the old Milwaukee Lake Shore and Western road between this city and 
Appleton in the late seventies, will be held Saturday afternoon from the Frazier 
mortuary. Interment will be at Evergreen cemetery. 
Laid Railroad 
Mr. Frick was born in Sheboygan county April 21, 1858, and his family moved north 
from there when he was a child. They were at Peshtigo when fire swept that region 
and soon after came to Manitowoc, in early life he took to railroading. At that 
time the Milwaukee Lake Shore and Western road, which afterwards became the North 
Western road, had completed the first railroad north from Milwaukee to Manitowoc. 
That was in 1873. 
Mr. Frick joined road construction crews engaged in laying the ties and tracks 
for the extension of the line westward to Kaukauna and Appleton from Manitowoc. 
He continued to be employed as a machinist in the shops. Later he was located at 
Antigo where he, with his brother Henry, also deceased, founded and operated the 
Antigo Hub Manufacturing company. 
In 1902 Mr. Frick moved to this city and was made plant superintendent at the 
Smalley Manufacturing company, then one of the leading manufacturers of farm 
implement machinery in the middle west. It was Mr. Frick who introduced in 
Manitowoc the Saturday half-holiday for workers in industries. 
Named by Stolze 
His years of railroad work had versed him in this plan and he sponsored it at the 
Smalley plant and soon it was taken up by other industries in the city. 
The deceased was a member of one of the first commissions named by Mayor Stolze to 
operate and manage the municipal water and light plant in Manitowoc. 
In later years Mr. Frick was employed in the machine shops at the Manitowoc Ship-
building corporation and since the death of his wife lived a retired life with his 
daughter. 
The deceased was married here in 1892 to Miss Matie Bacon. She died in 1929. 
Survivors are three sons, Raymond of Cable, Wis., Stanley of Port Huron, Mich., 
and Clyde of Marinette; a daughter, Miss Gladys Frick; and one sister, Miss Carrie 
Frick of Buffalo, N.Y.

Aged Rapids Farmer Found Lying on Kitchen Floor by Wife, Cannot Survive
Found lying on the kitchen floor in great distress and with his entire left

which by reason of the patient's age will probably prove fatal. Fricke was 
found by his wife shortly after she returned from doing chores in the barn 
and the shock was great, Mr. Fricke giving all appeances of being in his death 
throes. Medical aid was summoned from the city and Dr. Kemper who attended 
advised taking the man to the hospital where he is at present. Fricke is over 
70 years of age and his condition is so serious that he may not survive the 
shock any length of time.
Mr. Fricke was well and cheerful on Sunday and visited with the members of the 
Gray family who have then Sunday outings at his place along the Manitowoc river, 
and arose in the morning Monday giving no indicatior (sic) of the impending

EDWARD FRICKE    (d.1936)

Fricke Services Set for Tuesday
Second Ward Alderman, Former Street Commissioner, Dies Saturday
Ed. Fricke, 75, Second ward alderman, former street commissioner and retired 
business man, died Saturday eveing at the home, 113 Cleveland avenue. He had 
been seriously ill for three weeks.
Alderman Fricke was taken ill several months ago and was confined to the 
hospital for a month. He rallied, however, and resumed his duties in the 
council. An ardent sportsman, Mr. Fricke joined friends in a duck hunting 
trip this fall. He was stricken the day after his return from this trip.
Funeral Tuesday
Funeral services will be Tuesday at 2 p.m., from the Frazier mortuary in charge 
of officers of the Elks lodge, of which order Mr. Fricke was a member. Interment 
will be in Evergreen cemetery.
Mr. Fricke, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Fricke, county pioneers, was born at 
Manitowoc Rapids in 1860. His father located in this city and established a 
brickyard along the lake shore south of the Little Manitowoc river in the 
Second ward. This yard was conducted by the Frickes for many years.
Later Ed. Fricke became associated with the Manitowoc Clay Products company, 
operators of a large brickyard west of the city. He was with this company 20 
years and advanced to the position of manager of the Manitowoc plant.

He retired from this affiliation in 1920. In 1924 he was elected street commissioner 
by the city council and served in 1924 and 1925.
Two years later he was elected alderman from the Second ward and served three two 
year terms. In that period he became city salesman for brickyards in Manitowoc, 
disposing of the products of the yards to contractors and others engaged in the 
building field.
In the years that he was in the council Alderman Fricke was chairman of the street 
committee, one of the most important of committeee assignments.
Mr. Fricke retired from active business a few years ago. Although not a candidate 
for office last spring voters of the Second ward wrote in his name on the primary 
ballot in March. The vote was sufficient to place him on the ticket and he was again 
elected to the city governing body by voters of the ward.
Seven Children Survive
In addition to membership in the Elks Alderman Fricke was a member of the Royal 
League. He married Miss Mary Espen in 1881. Mrs. Fricke died 12 years ago.

EDWARD J. FRICKE   (d. 1931)

CORP. FRICKE DIES ON WAY HOME
LOCAL SOLDIER STRICKEN ON BOARD TRANSPORT BRINGING HIM BACK FROM NICARAGUA
Son of Ald. Edward Fricke, Enroute To State After 3 Years in Jungles, Dead 
as Vessel Docks at New York Says Message To Family Today
Anticipated happiness in the return of a son and brother, who had not been 
home in years and was expected within the next two weeks, was turned to 
sorrow today for Alderman Edward Fricke of the Second ward, and his family, 
by a message from the war department announcing the sudden death aboard boat 
en route from Nicaragua, Central America, of Corporal Edward J. Fricke, of 
the First Engineering corps. No details of the death are given in the message, 
which came as a terribe shock to Alderman Fricke, the father, and other 
relatives of the young soldier.
Body Here Tuesday
The message was dispatched from New York, and it is presumed that the steamer 
upon which Corp. Fricke was en route home, had docked in that city. A wire was 
immediately forwarded asking that the body be shipped to Manitowoc for burial. 
A message received later said that the remains should reach Manitowoc Tuesday 
afternoon in which event the funeral will be held Wednesday afternoon.
Started Home July 16
From information which the family had recieved it is beleived that Corp. Fricke 
and the unit to which he was assigned, which has been engaged in survey work on 
the new canal route for the United States government in Nicaragua for the last 
three years and was recently ordered to return to the states, planned to set sail 
on July 16. He was to have come directly home after arrival at New York. The 
message briefly states that he was stricken aboard boat and died en route.
Member of Old Company H
Corporal Fricke started his military career as a member of old Company H of this 
city and was in the unit when it was ordered to the Mexican border prior to 1917.
Served in World War
When the United States enterd the world war, Corp. Fricke was one of the men who 
joined the government forces and served two years. Later he enlisted in the U.S. 
regular army, became attached to the engineer corps, and served in Panama before 
being sent, three years ago, to Nicaragua, where, with the first engineering corps, 
a unit including seven Wisconsin men, he had been engaged in surveying the new 
canal route through Central America. Only a short time ago Secretary Hurley of 
the War department issued orders for the return of the unit, and Corp. Fricke had 
written that he expected to be home late in July or early in August. While his 
father and family here awaited his coming the message announcing his death arrived.
Was Born in This City
The deceased was 32 years of age at the time of his death, having been born in this 
city, where he made his home up to the time of entering the army service. He attended 
the local schools and was a popular and studious youth. He early entertained a liking 
for the mechanical, and at the time he went to the Mexican border had given much 
study to engineering work in the expectation that it would be his life's calling. A 
lover of adventure and with a desire to travel, he, after the world war, enlisted in 
the U.S. regular army and had advanced in the service.
When the government organized the First engineering corps the fourteen officers and 
131 enlisted men which made up the unit, for service in Nicaragua, were drawn from 
the men at that time in Panama and included the Manitowoc boy.
The task set for the corps was one marked with many discomforts and no little danger 
from floods, jungle beasts, heat, earthquakes, insects, guerrilla warfare and a lack 
of the ordinary comforts and amusements of life and yet Corp. Fricke, in letters to 
relatives here, said that he was enjoing the experience in Nicaragua, and was finding 
the work to his liking. Only in recent letters, which were written in the early spring, 
Corp. Fricke had mentioned a desire to get back to civilization and to visit the old 
home in Manitowoc and he was looking forward to his return here with equal anticipation 
felt by his father and family to have him back.
The Surviving Family
Corp. Fricke was unmarried and is survived by his father, Ald. Edward Fricke, three 
sisters, Mrs. Clara Knell, Mrs. Phoebe Rosinsky and Mrs. Irene Owen, and by four 
brothers, Max, Walter, Reinhardt and Oscar, all except the last, residing here. Oscar 
Fricke is a resident of Sheboygan.
No plans for the burial of the deceased can be made until word is received as to the 
shipment of the remains from New York. It is probable that a military funeral will be 
accorded with Company E, the Ameerican Legion and other veteran organizations taking 
part in the services.
The sympathy of the communtiy is extended to Ald. Fricke and his family in their loss.

BODY OF CORP. FRICKE TO BE HERE TUESDAY 
Military Funeral Accorded Dead Soldier From This City at Delaware City, Del. Today 
A military funeral was accorded Corp. Edward Fricke, Manitowoc soldier at Delaware 
City, Del., today when the body was shipped from that city, enroute to Manitowoc 
where it is expected to arrive tomorrow afternoon. Funeral services here will be 
held Wednesday, details awaiting arrival of the body.
Dispatches from Delaware City told today of the military funeral for Corp. Fricke 
and details of the tragic death which relatives here had been led to believe from 
dispatches received, had occurred aboard boat enroute, are given. Corp. Fricke was 
at a hospital at Delaware City.
Disappointment Affected Mind 
Suffering from illness that apparently had been of some duration, Corp. Fricke, 
according to the report, was removed to the post hospital at Delaware City upon arrival 
of his transport. Melancholy because of his disappointment in not being able to come 
home as he had hoped and planned, Corp. Fricke yielded to the disorder of the mind and 
body and his body was found hanging from a transom in his hospital room by an attendant 
Saturday morning. A rope had been made from strips of bed clothing and the soldier boy 
was dead when found. 
Corp. Fricke is believed to have suffered from fever contracted in the jungles of 
Nicaragua and his mind gave way under the disappointment and illness from which he 
suffered. How long he had been ill is not known but from reports it is evident that 
his hope of returning home at once could not have been realized and melancholia gripped 
him to unbalance his mind.
Plans have been completed for a military funeral to be held here Wednesday when the 
body will be laid to rest at Evergreen cemetery. The remains will probably be taken 
to the Wattawa, Urbanek & Schlei parlors upon arrival.
It was announced that afternoon that the funeral services would take place at two o'clock 
Wednesday afternoon, from the home of Ald. Edward Fricke, father of the dead soldier, on 
Cleveland avenue. Interment will be at Evergreen. The deceased, it is expected, will be 
accorded a military funeral.

MILITARY RITE GIVEN FRICKE
Services Held Today in Delaware
Military funeral services were held this morning at Fort Dupont, Delaware for Corporal 
Edward J. Fricke, member of the first Engineering Corps. The body will arrive here 
Tuesday afternoon and the funeral will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from 
the home of his father, Alderman Edward Fricke, Cleveland avenue. Burial will be at 
Evergreen and the Rev. Bulley will officiate.
Corporal Fricke, who had been in the service for twelve years and had been away from 
home all of that time, died suddenly while preparing to return here for a visit, a visit 
that his father had looked forward to for many weeks. Fricke started his military career 
as a member of old Co. H and was a member of the organization when it was ordered to 
the Mexican border in 1917. He served in the World War and then enlisted in the regular 
army service and was at the Panama before being sent to Nicaragua three years ago. The 
unit with which he was serving was engaged in surveying a canal route across Central 
America. The return to this country of the unit had been ordered only a short time ago. 
The young man had written of his expected visit to his home and the news of his death 
came as a shock to members of the family and his friends.

QUAKE ZONE WORK COST FRICKE LIFE
ESCORT OF BODY OF LOCAL BOY TELLS STORY
Fricke Worked For 2 Weeks in Managua, and Probably Contracted Diesease There
That Corporal Edward J. Fricke, son of Alderman Ed. Fricke of this city, who died in 
the Fort Dupont (Del.) hospital last week, and whose body was brought here yesterday 
for burial, gave his life in humanitarian efforts to alleviate suffering during the 
earthquake disaster at Managua, Central America, last year, was the word brought here 
by Sergeant William Braendle, member of the Company A, 1st U.S. engineers and a "buddy" 
of the deceased for several years.
Corp. Fricke, he said, was always cheerful and his companions did not know of his 
serious condition until he was trnasferred to a land hospital from the transport when 
it arrive in New York last week. Braendle said, in his opinion, the Manitowoc boy, who 
was cited for special mention from his superior officers for valieant relief work 
performed in the earthquake zone, contracted his illness at Managua.
Worked There 2 Weeks
At the time of the disaster, which cost hundreds of lives, a detachment of 26 men of 
the Engineers was working nearby in surveying the Nicaraguan canal route. They were 
rushed to the seat of the disaster at Managua, and remained in the earthquake ridden 
and plague stricken area for two weeks. They dug into the ruins for bodies and were 
subjected to most trying conditions. Fricke continued night and day in this relief 
work, and although he made no__________________
Letter Praises Corp. Fricke
The following is a letter received today by Ald. Edward Fricke, father of the late 
Corp. Edward Fricke, from Leslie R. Groves Jr., 1st Lieut. Corps of Engineers 
commanding Company A, 1st U.S. Engineers at Fort Dupont, Del., of which unit the 
Manitowoc boy was a member:
My Dear Mr. Fricke:
As the commanding officer of Company A, I desire to express my personal sympathy 
as well as that of the members of this organization to you and your family. Corp. 
Fricke's death was a blow to us, coming as it did so soon after the return from two 
years hard service in Nicaragua. The service was such as to knit much closer ties 
between the members of the organization that is usual in the military service and 
for that reason the loss is more personal one. Corp. Fricke was a well liked and 
respected member of the unit. He held responsible duties in Nicaragua and had 
performed them well. He was making a success of his chosen career which was cut 
short by his untimely death.
May I again extend our symapthy for your loss, which we also feel is ours.
Lieut. Leslie R. Groves
__________________________
complaint at the time, it is believed that he contracted a fatal malady there, 
which gradually grew worse as it came time for the unit to embark for the states.
Sergeant Braendle stated that Corp. Fricke was in line for promotion to a sergeantcy 
in the regular army, when he was tricken. On the way home on the transport, the 
sergeant said, the Manitowoc boy developed severe pains but his condition was not 
believed critical. However, an examination by physicians at New York resulted in 
his being sent to the hospital at Fort Dupont, Del., for further observation. At 
this point, Sergt. Braendle said, Fricke's suffering became so intense that his 
mind became deranged and he took the easiest way out to end suffering.
Popular With Command
"Corp. Fricke was one of the most popular men of the command," said Sergt. Braendle. 
"He was the life of the camp all through the trying months taht we were engaged in 
surveying the propose canal route across Nicaragua. On our way to the country, we 
stopped at Panama and Fricke was well known there, where he had been stationed for 
a number of years and where he acted as an official upmire (sic) in a baseball 
league there. He never complained and this accounts for the fact that others in the 
unit did not know of his serious physical condition, until his death."
Complete Canal Survey
The 1st Engineers has completed the survey of the canal route. There were 240 men 
in the unit which was in charge of Col. Dan I. Sutton and the latter is now 
preparing his report to congress. In addition to staking out the route the unit also 
took soil tests all along the route. Work was hazardous on account of the extreme 
length of the rainy season in Central America, and poor sanitary conditions surrounding 
the workers in the field.
To Cost $750,000,000
It is estimated that the cost of the proposed second ditch across the isthmus will 
be about $750,000,000 and the length of the canal would be 186 miles as compared to 
the 70 miles at Panama. The present canal, the sergeant reported, is now proving too 
narrow for the larger warships and commerce is bound to tax the present Panama canal 
to the limit in a few years. In additon the new route would cut off three to four days 
for commerce bound from New York and the Atlantic seaboard to the Pacific coast.
Sergeant Braendle smiled when asked regarding the danger of bandits in the area in 
which the Engineers worked.
"We never had any trouble with the guerillas," said the sergeant. "In fact we hired 
some of the toughest of them to work for us at fifty cents a day."
Leaves to Rejoin Command
"The boys in the command will long remember your Corporal Fricke," said his escort 
as he prepared to take the train this morning to return to his command at Fort 
Dupont, Delaware. "He was a fine type of young man and his unselfish devotion to 
duty in storm wrecked Managua, I believe is directly responsible for his untimely end."
Funeral services for Corp. Fricke were held Wednesday afternoon from the Fricke home 
on Cleveland avenue with interment in Evergreen cemetery.

ERNEST FRICKE

BOY DROWNED IN RIVER NEAR N.W. BRIDGE
A fatal accident occurred up river near the plant of the Malting company at 3
this afternoon when a young lad fell into the river and is reported to have
drowned. The police responded to the call with grappling hooks and are dragging
the river, but up to 4 o'clock the body had not been recovered.
The report to the police was that the boy, with others, was swimming in the
river.
Later reports give the boys' name as Fricke, and that he was about 12 years old.

SEARCH HOURS BEFORE BODY OF BOY IS FOUND
Police Recover Body of the Fricke Boy in River
After almost five hours of searching by the police and a large force of 
volunteers, the body of Ernst Fricke, thirteen year old boy who lost his life 
by drowning in the river at the Chicago and Northwestern railway bridge at the 
foot of South Sixteenth street yesterday afternoon, was recovered at 7:50 last 
night. The body was brought to the surface by Officer William Diegel and John 
Jung at a spot that had been crossed and recrossed a hundred times by the 
searchers. It was hooked in the lobe of the ear. The search was rendered more 
difficult by the fact that the boy was unclothed, he having gone swimming 
without the formality of wearing without (sic) swimming trunks.
Ernst Fricke with other boy's from the Jefferson school had gone to the dormitory 
to take their manual training lesson. They went to the river bank to play where 
Lawrence Kuhl and young Fricke decided they would take a swim although they were 
unable to convince any other boys to do the same. The boys disrobed and Fricke 
attmpted to swim to the bridge pier. When he had made about one-half the distance 
he suddenly called for help and after a short struggle went down never to reappear 
according to witnesses. Patrick Kealey, 1718 Wollmer street, said that none of the 
others were able to swim enough to save the boy and that while attempts were made 
to give him aid by reaching poles to him the effort failed.
DIVE FOR BODY
An alarm sounded which brought Victor Geisler and Henry C. Burger to the scene from 
the Burger office. Both men dived for the body at the spot at which he went down and 
Geisler says he felt sure he touched the body with his feet when he leaped into the 
water the first time. Upon diving again, however he could not find it and both he and 
Burger failed in their efforts to recover the body of the youth. The pulmotor had 
been rushed to the scene by the police and had the efforts of the men been successful 
there is a chance that the boy might have been resusitated.
POLICE GET BODY
Police officials who appeared at the bridge within a short time after the accident 
was reported began a search which was not ended until the body was recovered at 
nearly 8 o'clock. During the evening the police were assisted by a large number of 
volunteer searches many of whom dived time and again in the effort to locate the 
boy's body and chief Trochlell expresses the department's appreciation. It was 
finally hooked within a few feet of the spot where he went down although a heavy 
undertow was rpeorted by the divers.
ONE OF FAMILY OF EIGHT
Ernst Fricke was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Fricke who reside on South Fourteenth 
street just south of the city limits and was 12 years old having been born April 4, 
1909. He was a member of the seventh grade at the Jefferson school and had passed the 
tests necessary for his advancement to the Eighth grade with unusually high standings. 
Besides his parents he is survived by two brothers, Robert and Elmer and five sisters, 
Clara, Alice, Viola, Ethel and Edna.
The funeral of the unfortunate lad will be held from the home Saturday afternoon at 
2 o'clock.

that he got cramps and went down suddenly. His body was recovered at eight o'clock.

GEORGE W. FRICKE    (d. 1899)

George Fricke of this city died on Saturday morning last. A few days previously 
he sustained some injury by the caving in of a clay bank, but it was thought nothing 
serious would result. He was doing quite well but suddenly fell into an unconscious 
state and remained so until death came.
He was born in 1842 in Germany, but has long been a resident of the city where he 
owned and operated a brick yard.
Manitowoc Pilot, Wis., Thursday, December 7, 1899 pg. 8
********
On Tues. last week George Fricke, the well-known brick maker, was working in 
the clay pit of his brickyard when a wall collapsed. Mr. Fricke quickly jumped 
out of the way to avoid being buried by the mass, but his leg was struck and 
broken. He was taken home and put under a doctor's care. The bone was set, 
bound and everything appeared to be going well until Mrs. Fricke noticed Wed. 
night that he was in his bed unconscious and breathing heavily. Efforts to 
revive him were fruitless. He remained unconscious until his death at 9 a.m. Sat. 
The doctors are of the opinion that his death followed an accumulation of blood 
around the brain. The deceased was born in Germany in 1842 and came to America in 
his youth, spending many years in our city. He leaves a widow and 5 children. The 
funeral was Tues.

CROSSED DIVIDING LINE.
George Fricke, Responds to Final Summons-Death at 9 a.m.
George Fricke, the well known brick maker, crossed the dark chasm and entered 
into the great unknown at 9 o'clock this morning. His death was entirely 
unexpected and will come as a shock to his many friends, who were not aware 
that his condition was alarming.
Several days ago Mr. Fricke, while at work at the brick-yard sustained the 
fracture of a limb by the caving in of a clay bank. He was removed to his home 
and a doctor summoned. The patient seemed to improve and suffered no pain 
whatever. Late Wednesday evening Mrs. Fricke noticed that her husband breathed 
heavily and with considerable effort. The attending physician was called, but 
it was found impossible to restore the patient to conciousness and after remain-
ing in a stupor two days he answered the summons, breathing his last at 9 o'clock. 
Physicians are of the opinion that death was due to thrombus of the brain, a 
clogging of the blood vessels, in effect the same as appoplexy. It is not thought 
that Mr. Fricke sustained internal injuries in the accident of a few days ago, 
although the heavy breathing is thought to have been due to a thrombus of the 
lungs also.
Deceased was born in Germany in August 1842. He has been a resident of this city 
many years and had conducted the brick yard most of the time. He was a careful, 
conservative business man, quiet and unassuming and thoroughly honest and upright. 
A good husband and a kind father, he will be sadly missed by the widow and five 
children, four sons and one daughter, who survive him. The funeral will probably 
be held Tuesday afternoon.

HENRIETTE FRICKE

AGED WOMAN MEETS ACCIDENTAL DEATH, FALLS IN CISTERN 
MRS. HENRIETTA FRICKE FOUND DEAD IN CISTERN IN CELLAR AT HOME ON CLEVELAND AVE., 
LAST EVENING 
WAS TRYING TO GET PAIL OF WATER AND FELL OVER WALL. 
Another cistern drowning, similar in circumstances to the Kiel tragedy of two 
days ago except that the drowning was clearly accidental occurred yesterday, 
Mrs. Henrietta Fricke, widow of the late William Fricke, being the victim. Mrs. 
Fricke's dead body was found in the cistern in the basement of the home on 
Cleveland avenue at 5 o'clock last night. 
Mrs. Fricke, who despite the fact that she was 62 years of age, insisted upon 
doing her work, had planned to wash and was drawing water from the cistern with 
a pail, the pump being out of order. The cistern is located in the basement and 
is a large tank, bricked in by a wall about four feet high and twelve inches 
wide. Mrs. Fricke had evidently leaned over too far in attempting to draw the 
pail, to which a rope was attached, and lost her balance, falling into the water. 
Owing to her advanced age and hampered by her clothing she was unable to save 
herself. 
No one was home at the time the accident happened, a son, Erwin, who made his 
home with his mother, being absent at work and another son, William, who with 
his wife was visiting here, had left the house in an automobile for a visit to 
other relatives. Mr. Fricke had planned to return to Milwaukee today and his 
mother was to accompany the party or make the trip via train with her daughter
-in-law. 
Discovery of the body was made by Gus. Fricke, another son who searched the house 
at 5 o'clock. Finding his mother absent he had presumed that she had accompanied 
the auto party but a few minutes later when the party returned and said that Mrs. 
Fricke had remained at home, a search of the house and grounds was made for her, 
and upon visiting the cellar evidences of the tragic death of the aged woman were 
found and investigation revealed the body in the cistern. 
A hurried call was made for Dr. Gleason while the body was being taken from the 
water but nothing could be done, it being the opinion of Dr. Gleason that Mrs. 
Fricke had been dead more than an hour when found. The pulmotor was brought to 
the Fricke home but was of no use, it being too late.
Mrs. Fricke was a pioneer resident of the city, having made her home here during 
the greater part of her life. Her husband died last December and his death was a 
great shock to her. A son died a year ago and grieved much over the bereavements 
though she had never brooded over her loss. Yesterday she attended to her house-
hold duties and had worked about her garden as she was accustomed to do. 
Five children survive Mrs. Fricke, being Mr. Samuel Price of Chicago, Mrs. O. H. 
Nelson of Milwaukee, William of Milwaukee, Gustave and Erwin of this city. 
Funeral services will be held from the late home on Cleveland avenue Monday after-
noon at 2 o'clock.
