ALBERT FRISCHMUTH

KILLED ON TRACK, BODY IN DITCH ALL NIGHT
Dead Body of Franklin Man Found Frozen in Pool of Water.
RELATIVES SEARCH ALL NIGHT FOR HIM
Frozen in a pool of water in a ditch at the side of the Chicago & 
North Western Railway Co's tracks near Rockwell, several miles from 
this city on the Green Bay short line, the dead body of Halver 
Frischmuth, a town of Franklin man was found early today and removed 
to the home of relatives. Frischmuth, from all appearances, was run 
down by a C. & N.W. train Friday night and the accident was 
undiscovered until morning when the crew of train No 217, which 
leaves here for Green Bay at 7:30, reported the finding of the body
Frischmuth who was 57 years of age and a bachelor, made his home 
with a brother William Frischmuth in the northern part of Franklin 
on the line of the town of Kossuth. The unfortunate man left home 
late Friday afternoon without a word to the family and nothing was 
known as to his intentions. When he failed to return late in the 
evening his brothers William and Gustave instituted search for him 
in the neighborhood, visiting neighbors but no trace of the man 
could be found and the search was continued until early in the 
morning.
Relatives of Frischmuth did not learn of the man's fate until nearly 
noon when they were informed of the accident by Coroner Louis Falge 
who was at Rockwell to investigate. When the report of the finding of 
the body was made by train 217 to the Manitowoc station the section 
crew was sent out to pick the body up and care for it, and the crew 
had not located the relatives of the dead man. Frischmuth's body is 
at the home of his brother William and the funeral will be held from 
there.
Frischmuth it is believed was run down by the train which reached 
this city from Green Bay at 5:45 and he was probably run down while 
walking on the tracks. Frischmuth's right leg was severed below the 
knee and he had a fracture of the skull in the front of the head. 
The man's body must have been thrown from the tracks when struck by 
the train as it had rolled over an embankment several feet high into 
the ditch below. The body landed in a pool of water and mud in the 
bottom of the ditch and was found tightly frozen in the water.
Frischmuth according to statements made to the authorities had not 
been in perfect health for some time and for several weeks it had 
been feared that his mind had become affected. The man was of quiet, 
retiring dispostion, something of a recluse and was little known to 
his neighbors. He was a student and was an ardent supporter of 
socialistic doctrines, it is said. Coroner Falge who investigated 
the case decided that there was no necessity for holding an inquest 
with Dist. Atty. Healy decided not to call one. The funeral of 
Frischmuth will be held early in the week.

CARL FRISCHMUTH    (d. 1919)

Carl Frischmuth, who lives with his family on the corner of 15th and 
Division Streets, but who works for his brother who has a farm at the 
northern city limits, as usual went to the farm Monday morning. When 
he arrived at his brother’s house it was empty because everyone was 
working in the fields. Frischmuth has been sick for a while and 
occasionally suffers great pain so that life is often wearisome. He 
took a rifle from the wall and shot himself in the mouth. The bullet 
went through his head but didn’t kill him, so Frischmuth picked up a 
knife and tried to cut his throat. His brother, who heard the shot, 
came in to find his brother lying in his blood. Dr. Roberts was 
immediately called and other than stopping the bleeding there is little 
hope for his recovery. Frischmuth is 52 years old and has a wife and 4 
children. Upon regaining consciousness he said that his pain caused him 
to do the deed.

MAY HAVE TRIED TO END LIFE
Carl Frischmuth Found at Home of Brother, Shot in Mouth and Throat Cut
Found in a room of the house lying in a pool of his own blood, with a gaping .22 
calibre wound in his mouth and a gash in his throat, Carl Frischmuth, an aged 
resident of this city is thought to have attempted suicide at the home of brother, 
Gus Frischmuth on the farm northwest of the the city. Dr. Roberts, summoned hastily, 
succeeded in stopping the flow of blood from the man's wounds and resusitated him 
so that there is a slight chance for recovery though the shock may yet cause his 
death.
The alleged attempt at suicide was made with a .22 rifle and when this proved 
unavailing, the man is said to have cut his throat with a knife though the jugular 
was not severed. After regaining consciousness, the man was asked whether anyone was 
responsible for his condition and he replied in the negative. There is no motive for 
the attempt and some mystery surrounds the case. Frischmuth resides in this city on 
the corner of 15th and Division where he has a wife and family but works for his four 
brothers who own a farm. A telephone call to the farm this afternoon failed to reach 
the family so that his late condition could not be learned. Frischmuth is a brother 
of Mrs. Conrad Meyer of this city.

ANTON MARTIN FRITSCH

TWO RIVERS MAN DIES FROM COLD AND EXPOSURE 
ANTON FRITCH (sic), EMPLOYE OF WISCONSIN HOUSE, FOUND FROZEN TO DEATH IN YARDS 
AT HOTEL THIS MORNING 
MAN HAD BEEN ILL, MAY HAVE FAINTED IS THEORY
Anton Fritch (sic) an aged two Rivers man, was found dead in the yard of the 
Wisconsin House in that city at an early hour this morning, a victim of cold 
and exposure. Fritch’s body was found, face down, a short distance from the 
rear entrance of the hotel where it is believed he was overcome while making 
his way to the house from the stables and where it had probably remained during 
the night in a temperature of 8 degrees below, which prevailed during the night 
and early morning.
Fritch was last seen alive at 7 o’clock last night when he left the hotel to 
attend to chores at the stables, the man having been employed as a hostler at 
the Wisconsin house for several years past. It is thought that in returning to 
the house Fritch, who had not been in robust health, was overcome and may have 
fainted and succumbed, the cold being the most severe of the winter last night 
at Two Rivers. Fritch had been about the hotel in the early evening and as usual 
visited the barn to close it before retiring. The man usually made his way to his 
room without attention and it was supposed that he had retired when he did not 
appear about the house.
Employes of the hotel, which is conducted by John Reinert, found the dead body of 
Fritch at 6 o’clock this morning and report was made to the Two Rivers police who 
took charge of the remains. The body was lying face downward and examination showed 
no indication of injury or that the man had been attacked. Coroner Falge of this 
city was notified and in the absence of District Attorney Healy, who is at Madison, 
communicated with the Two Rivers police and investigated the case, later deciding 
that there was no necessity for an inquest as Fritch’s death had, from all reports, 
been due to cold and exposure. The body was cared for by Mr. Reinert and will be 
buried at Two Rivers.
Fritch had been employed at the Wisconsin House three or four years but little is 
known of the man’s family. He is known to have had one daughter who is believed to 
reside in the town of Gibson but further than this his relatives are unknown. For 
some time Fritch had complained of being ill and the theory of the authorities is 
that the man, while returning to the house, may have fallen or have become faint 
and that he was unable to help himself and died from exposure.
A year ago an aged resident of Two Rivers froze both hands and had a close call 
from meeting death during the extreme cold weather which prevailed but Fritch’s 
death is the first in the county in years due to that cause. 
The burial will be held at Two Rivers and unless relatives appear to take charge 
of the body, Mr. Reinert will arrange for the funeral.

HAD BEEN IN QUARANTINE 
Froehlke Funeral Party Came From Smallpox Quarantine 
Because several members of the funeral party accompanying the remains of Mrs. 
Henrietta Froehlke here from Neenah had been under quarantine for smallpox, 
some alarm was felt by relatives by whom they were entertained here. Mrs. 
Froehlke, who was a former resident here, died at the home of her son, Rev. 
Albert Froehlke, while the house was in quarantine for smallpox. Mrs. Froehlke 
did not suffer from the disease, her death being due to an illness of long 
standing. The funeral here was private and it is not believed that there was 
any danger of contagion.

CHRISTIAN FROHLICH

DEATH BY DROWNING
The Manitowoc River Claims Another victim.
On Tuesday last a young man named Herman Froelik (sic) of this city obtained 
employment at the coal docks of the Wisconsin Central R.R. and started to work 
Wednesday morning. He was wheeling dirt along the edge of the dock when in some 
unaccountable manner he fell into the water. The first intimation his partner 
had that an accident had occurred was the empty wheelbarrow seen floating on 
the river.
Indications point to that fact that the young man must have been struck by the 
wheelbarrow in falling as he never rose to the surface and hence must have been 
stunned. Twenty minutes later when the body was fished out with grapline (sic) 
hooks one eye was missing.
The remains were taken to the undertaking establishment of Anton Vogt. Deceased 
was of German descent and 35 years of age. He came to this city in December last, 
and boarded at the Clipper City House where he had $455 in paper and $10 in gold 
deposited with the proprietor. He has relatives living in Sheboygan.

RAY G. FROSCH 

County Stove Pioneer, Dies
Grimms - Ray G. Frosch, veteran hardware and automobile dealer and the
first in Wisconsin to introduce oil and gas burning stoves in the rural
area, died at his home in this village Thursday night. He was 80.
Funeral services will be at 2 p.m. Monday at St. John St. James Lutheran
Church, Reedsville. The Rev. John Wendland will officiate and burial will
be in Evergreen Cemetery, Manitowoc.
Born April 18, 1877, at Wayside, Brown County, son of the late Frank and
Elizabeth Beattie Frosch, he began his business enterprise several years
before the turn of the century and a year before he married Emma Rader
at Sheboygan Falls June 7, 1899. The couple celebrated its 58th wedding
anniversary this year.
The store he launched at Wayside in 1898 throve and three years later a
similar business was established at Grimms. In addition to the hardware
store a grain elevator was erected and along with it a garage. When a
fire destroyed the hardware store and garage in 1930, only the hardware
business was re-established in an adjacent location.
At that time the Frosch Brothers partnership was dissolved. Frank Jr. had
been in business with him and previous to that their father had been 
associated in the enterprises.
Years before bottle gas stoves were available in rural areas, Mr. Frosch
sold coal and wood burning ranges. Not satisfied with this, he introduced
oil burning units which could be installed in existing stoves, and a 
number of years ago took over agency for a gas firm which made it possible
for him to sell an appliance he believed would help his rural friends live
with more comfort.
In addition to serving many years on the Town of Cato School Board he was
postmaster for more than 30 years, retiring in 1947 under the compulsory
age program. Five years later he retired from active participation in all
business and devoted his interests to gardening. He was a charter member
of the choir of the church at Reedsville.
Surviving are his wife, a son, Maitland, of Minneapolis, two daughters,
Mrs. Samuel M. Kuenzi, of Watertown, Wis., and Mrs. Francis Dietl of Manitowoc;
two sisters, Mrs. Walter Schlicker, of Detroit and Mrs. Alfred Halzer, of
Neptune Beach, Fla.; and a grandson. A sister and the brother with whom
he was a partner in the business preceded him in death.
Friends may call at Urbanek and Schlei Funeral Home, Manitowoc, after 2 p.m.
Sunday until 10:30 a.m. Monday when the casket will be moved to the church,
where the body will lie in state until the hour of service.

Death of 72 yr. old Anton Fuchs on Tues., 30 Jan. He came here in 1848 and

SUICIDE.
Yesterday, an old man named Fuchs, living near the livery stable of Contway & 
Moran, shot himself through the body and is now lying at the point of death. 
In the morning he went to the hardware store of Wagner & Rend, and purchased 
a revolver. After loading it he went into his little confectionery store and 
seeing some men standing on the sidewalk, waved his hand toward them and said 
“good-bye.” He then placed the revolver against his breast and pulled the 
trigger. The wound is a very dangerous one and probably will prove fatal.
Fuchs is about 60 years of age. He has for some time been addicted to drink and 
was of a moody, morose disposition. His habits led to domestic difficulties and 
his despondency must have reached the limit of insanity. Hard drink was no doubt 
the cause of the deed. He confesses having intended to kill his wife before 
attempting his own life, but was withheld on account of the sorrow it would cause 
his son. He expresses the hope that he will not recover.
Manitowoc Pilot, August 31, 1882  P. 3
********
Old Fuchs’ flag is still there. The old man was economical even in his attempt 
upon his own life. The pistol with which he perpetrated the deed was purchased 
after a well sustained attempt to beat down the price, and a plea to “throw in” 
the cartridges at least.
Manitowoc Pilot, September 7, 1882  P. 3
********
FUCHS, the man who tried to kill himself some time ago, and who did put a bullet 
in his body, “nearest the heart,” is able to be up. A writ of quo warranto should 
be served upon him, or some other legal proceeding instituted to make him show 
cause why he didn’t die and thus give an opportunity for holding an inquest.

EDWARD FULLMER

Edw. Fullmer Dies From Sudden Attack of Heart Failure.
DEATH ABOARD STR. WATTS UP RIVER.
Stricken by an attack of heart failure as he was about to board the boat for 
his day’s work, Edward Fullmer, employed as care taker aboard the steamer Watts, 
which is in winter quarters here, died suddenly at 6:30 this morning. Physicians 
who were summoned found life extinct and Coroner Falge was called but no inquest 
was held, the cause of death being established beyond question as heart trouble.
Mr. Fullmer’s death occurred just as he was about to enter the door of the cabin 
on the Watts preparatory to starting his day’s work. As he passed through the 
door, other men on the boat saw him ___, gasp and suddenly fall forward and when 
they reached him, life was extinct. In falling the stricken man struck the stove 
but the body fell away from it and was not burned or injured.
Mr. Fullmer, who had been a resident of the city for some years, had followed the 
lakes during the summers employed most of the time as a marine cook. Last fall, 
however, he accepted a position as watchman and caretaker on the steamer Watts 
which was laid up near the Wisconsin Central bridge and had been working aboard 
the boat, assisting in fitting out for the season. He was about to engage upon 
his day’s work when stricken.
A widow and one daughter, an adopted child, residing in this city, survive Mr. 
Fullmer. Decedent was a brother to the late Joseph Fullmer whose death occurred 
at Milwaukee six weeks ago and is a brother to the Sister Superior at the hospital. 
He was 52 years of age, having been born on March 4th, 1858. Previous to coming 
to this city, the family resided at Chicago and Milwaukee. 
Funeral arrangements have not been completed and announcement will appear later.

CAPT ALBERT G. FULTON

CAPT. A. G. FULTON, SAILED FIRST BOAT HERE, DIES, AGED 82 
PIONEER VESSELMAN AND EARLY DAY FARMER OF COUNTY PASSES FROM EARTH AT HOME 
WEST OF CITY SUNDAY MORNING. 
LOCATED ON FARM AT RAPIDS IN EARLY 60S. 
A long and useful life came to a close at midnight Saturday when Capt. Albert G. 
Fulton, one of the best known pioneers of Manitowoc county, quietly passed on his 
way to another world. Capt. Fulton’s death occurred at his farm home west of the 
city, his demise being due to an illness of several months which his advanced age 
made it impossible for him to combat. 
Capt. Fulton was in his eighty-second year, having been born February 23, 1832, 
and since 1865 he had been a continuous resident of Manitowoc county, though he 
had made his home here previous to that time as well. Capt. Fulton was born in 
St. Clair Co., Michigan.
Capt. Fulton was a pioneer vesselman of the lakes and for twenty years or more 
engaged in sailing, retiring in 1862 when he engaged in farming here. Capt. Fulton 
enjoyed the distinction of having sailed the first schooner built in Manitowoc, the 
Citizen, and he was in charge of a number of other boats during his lake career 
which he started at the age of 10 years. 
The early years in the life of Capt. Fulton were distinguished by the hardships and 
privations which invariably devolved upon the pioneers of any country. He received 
no educational advantages in youth, never having attended schools in his life, but 
being an ambitious youth, persistent, he eventually learned to read and acquired the 
key to the door of knowledge and became a well informed man. During his entire life 
Capt. Fulton devoted much time to reading and kept pace with subjects of current 
interest, the closing days of his life being brightened by his interests in affairs 
of the nation. 
At the age of ten years, Capt. Fulton assumed the duties of manhood by becoming 
selfsupporting and at that age engaged as assistant to a cook on a small lake vessel. 
At the age of 14 he was able to go before the mast and from that time performed a 
sailor’s duty and four years later became mate. In 1852, at the age of 20, he was 
made master of the schooner Defiance, a lumber schooner, which plied between this 
city and Chicago. On one of the trips of the host during a severe northeastern gale, 
the boat was capsized and Capt. Fulton and his crew were at the mercy of the waves 
for four days before their signals of distress brought them relief. Capt. Fulton 
often told of this experience which was one of the worst which he ever passed through 
in his years on the lakes. Years later Capt. Fulton was again in danger as a passenger 
of North Uba, when the boat capsized off Racine, but escaped with his life. 
Capt. Fulton was master of the first schooner ever built in Manitowoc, “The Citizen,” 
built by the late P. P. Smith, and which Capt. Fulton sailed for years. The boat was 
two-master. In twenty years on the lakes Capt. Fulton boasted of a record of never 
having lost a man. 
In 1862 Capt. Fulton left the lakes and established a wood and coal yard at Chicago 
which he conducted for three years, at the expiration of which period he returned to 
Manitowoc and made his home here for a year, at which time he purchased the farm near 
Silver Lake where he made his home to the time of his death. This farm had never been 
under cultivation and was entirely without improvements when it came into his 
possession, but industry and energy, with perseverance brought the farm into one of 
the well tilled properties of the county and for thirty-seven years Capt. Fulton 
continued in management of the farm, retiring in 1899, though he continued his 
residence on the property up to his death.
Capt. Fulton was married in 1855 to Elizabeth Johnson, who preceded him in death twenty 
years ago. Seven children survive, being Mrs. Philip Smith, who resided with her husband 
and father on the old homestead; Mrs. L. J. Anderson, Mrs. Fred Christiansen, this city; 
Mrs. L. J. Bodwin, of Owen, Wis.; Mrs. Adelbert Schmidt of Wausau; Miss Emmelie Fulton, 
this city, and Charles Fulton of Buffalo, N.W. With exception of the son, Charles, all 
of the children were with Capt. Fulton when death came to him. 
Few men of the county were more widely or favorably known than Capt. Fulton, and the 
announcement of his death will bring a keen pang of remorse to many who knew him and 
to whom his sturdy upright character was best known.
One of the last public events in which Capt. Fulton evinced interest was the recent 
reorganization here of a camp of the Sons of Veterans. He was much interested in the 
movement and gave it his hearty support and had he been able to be present he would 
have attended the organization meeting. 
Funeral services for Capt. Fulton will be held from the home of his daughter, Mrs. L. J. 
Anderson, North Thirteenth street, this city, tomorrow afternoon at 2o’clock and will 
be conducted by Rev. Axtell of the Presbyterian church. Interment will be at Evergreen.

Friday night "there was a sound of revelry" at Capt. Fulton's farm, near the 
shores of Silver Lake. It was all on account of the new granary, which the 
captain has recently built. Several couples from the city were in attendance 
on the festivities, and among them as a matter of course, was a reporter of 
the Times. The Wells boys and Louis Pleuss funished the music, to the strains 
of which about thirty couples moved in the mazes of the waltz. It was an 
enjoyable affair throughout, and fully sustained the captain's reputation as 
a genial host.

HENRY FULTON

Death by suicide on Mon. in Town Manitowoc Rapids, of Henry Fulton, 
son of Capt. A.G. Fulton. The deceased was married and the father of 
3 children. He worked on his father's farm, but had been afflicted 
with consumption for a long time. Burial was Tues. in the city cemetery.
Der Nord Westen, 05 Sept. 1895 
********
On Monday morning at 8 o'clock, Henry Fulton, a well known farmer living 
four miles west of Manitowoc, committed suicide. Just before carrying out his 
intentions, he told his boy that he was going to the granary and would return in 
a short while. Soon after the report of a gun was heard, and upon hurrying to 
the scene, the family found he had blown out his brains with a shot gun which 
lay beside him. The shock so prostrated Mrs. Fulton that it is feared she will 
lose her mind.
Mr. Fulton was 40 years old and resided on the farm of his father, Capt. Fulton, 
near Silver Lake. A severe attack of pneumonia last spring, left him in ill health 
and partially incapacitated him for work. Being naturally, a vigorous man, the 
thoughts of his condition brought on fits of despondency which finally resulted 
in the sad deed just described. He is survived by his wife and three children, 
and his aged parents.
Mr. Fulton was a man of good principles, upright and conscientious in all his 
dealing, and the universal sympathy expressed by many friends testifies to the 
respect and honor he enjoyed in the community.
