KIM MARIE GOEKE

Kim Goeke, 13, Drowns in Lake
Green Street Boat Ramp Tragedy Scene
2 Other Girls Rescued After Calling for Help
A 13-year-old Manitowoc girl lost her life in a swimming accident early Monday
evening at Red Arrow Park, at the end of the Green Street boat ramp.
Kim Marie Goeke, daughter of Mrs. Donna Goeke, of 1112 Washington St., and Sgt.
1c Norbert Goeke, of Ft. Jackson, N.C., was pronounced dead at the scene about
8:35 p.m. Monday by Dr. Theodore A. Teitgen, Manitowoc County coroner.
Two other girls, swimming with Miss Goeke, were rescued from Lake Michigan after
they too walked into a drop-off area while wading in the water. Manitowoc City
Police, investigating the death, said the body was found in about 15 to 17 feet
of water. The two rescued girls were identified as Diane Rasmussen, 13, and
Debbie Klabunde, 13.
(snip)
Heard Cries
Kustka said Tuesday morning that he heard the cries of the two young girls and
ran into the water with his clothes on. He tried to keep both of the girls
afloat, but the water was too deep for him to try to keep afloat along with the
girls. He asked either one if they could swim or float, and one said she could
float and Kustka told her to keep afloat in the water.
He said they both were thrashing around in the water and several times he went
under with the twosome in the attempt to get them to safety. Kustka said he
called to a young boy on the beach and asked him to bring the Rasmussen girl
a life preserver. The lad swam out with the buoy and proceeded 
Cont. on p.12
to bring the girl to the beach.
The other youngster was brought to the shore by Miss Donna Kann, 23, _____ a 
former teacher at Washington Junior High School, who was at Manitowoc visiting 
another former Washington teacher.
Miss Kann, the unknown boy and Kustka brought the two girls to shore. Miss
Jacquelynn Bayer of ____, the schoolteacher that Miss Kann was visiting, gave
mouth to mouth resuscitation to one of the girls until the rescue squad 
arrived.
More Help
More help was called for when it was discovered that a third girl had disappeared
in the water. County and city police along with the U.S. Coast Guard arrived and
started to drag the vicinity. Jan Hobbs, diving with an air tank, found the body
of the Goeke girl a short distance from where the two girls were rescued. Two
city police officers raised the body and the youngster was placed in an ambulance
until the coroner arrived.

EDWARD GOETERS    (d. 1931)

DEATH COMES TO RELIEF OF EDW. GOETERS
Victim of Auto Injuries Six Years Ago, Invalid Since Then, Passes Away
After being an invalid at his home for over six years, as a result of injuries 
suffered in an automobile accident in June of 1924, on Highway 141 a few miles 
south of the city, Edward Goeters, 49, foreman of the Central Iron Works here 
up to the time of the accident, passed away this morning at his home, 715 South 
Fifteenth street. Despite his afflicition which forced Mr. Goeters to remain in 
his home with spinal injuries he bore his affliction with fortitude and a 
cheerfulness that was remarkable, seeking to lighten the burdens of those whose 
care he became. To the very end he maintained a courage that was manifested in 
a spirit of resignation with the knowledge that his future was helpless.
The accident on the highway which made an invalid of the deceased occurred when 
the Goeters car, which he was driving home from a Sheboygan visit collided with 
another machine containing a number of Goodrich boat hands enroute to Sheboygan. 
Mr. Goeters was crushed behind the steering wheel and was rushed to the hospital 
here. Later he was able to be removed to his home, but the nature of his injuries 
precluded all possibility of his ever regaining the full use of his limbs. In the 
past few days Mr. Goeters grew constantly weaker and the end came at six o'clock 
this morning.
Came Here Learned Machinist Trade
Born in the town of Manitowoc, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Goeters, who still 
survive him, Mr. Goeters grew to manhood on the farm and when a young man of 
nineteen came to this city to learn the machinist trade at the Smalley Co. Later 
he entered the employ of the Central Iron Works, and rose to the positon of 
foreman of that company, which he occupied up to the time of the accident.
Married In 1905
In 1905 he was married in this city to Miss Olga Mahler who survives him with one 
son, Norman, two sisters, Mrs. Julius Hecker, city and Mrs. William Neubert of 
Chicago and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Goeters of the town of Manitowoc. 
Another son preceded his father in death a few months ago.
Mr. Goeters was active in fraternal work in the city. He was a member of the 
Chickerming lodge, I.O.O.F. and also the Loyal Order of Moose.
Funeral services for the deceased will be held Thursday afternoon at 1:30 from 
the home on South Fifteenth street and at two o'clock from the Reformed church, 
Ninth and Hancock streets. The remains will be removed to the home Wednesday 
morning from the Wattawa, Urbanek and Schlei mortuary and friends may view them 
up to the time of the funeral.

81-Year-Old Farmer Is Burned to Death
Herman Goeters, 81, route 3 farmer, was burned to death this afternoon 
when he was trapped in a corner of his orchard by a grass fire.
Mr. Goeters was burning off the grass in the orchard over the protests 
of his wife, who told him the strong wind would make the fire dangerous.
Crippled by age, Mr. Goeters walked with a pair of crutches, which he 
had placed against the east fence of the orchard in front of his farm 
home. He was downwind from the flames, which spred through the tinder-
dry grass and trapped him. His body was about five feet from the east 
fence, where he had left his crutches. The clothes and shoes were burned 
from his body. The body itself was badly burned.
Mr. and Mrs. Goeters were alone at the farm when the tragedy occurred. 
Mr. Goeters went into the orchard shortly after lunch. His wife went to 
look for him when she saw the grass burning and found his body. She called 
a daughter, Mrs. Julius Hecker, wife of a Manitowoc fireman, who summoned 
her husband. Mrs. Hecker was first to reach the farm. Mr. Hecker arrived 
soon after and helped extingusih the fire. He summoned District Attorney 
Patrick Dewane, who called Dr. Gerald Rau, county coroner, and Sheriff 
Norman Berkedal.
After the authorities arrived at the farm the body was taken by

ONE OVERCOME IN DAY'S HEAT, WILL RECOVER
Ed Goldenstedt Victim of Sunstroke and is Seriously Ill
MANY FORCED TO QUIT WORK - 96
Edward Goldenstedt, a North side man employed as a carpenter was the season's 
first victim of heat prostration today when he was overcome while at work on a 
building on New York Avenue. Goldenstedt was removed to his home at 618 Huron 
St. and while not dangerous, his condition is said to be serious.
Goldenstedt, who is employed by contractor, Harry Lang, was at work on the roof 
and narrowly missed falling from the roof when he was overcome, fellow workmen 
becoming aware of his condition in time to prevent his fall. It is said 
Goldenstedt will recover.
With the temperature at 94 in the shade at 10 o'clock and 96 at noon the day was 
the hottest of the year and many outside workmen were forced to leave their work. 
Steel workers employed at the Dry Docks Co yards, left their work early in the 
day and workmen at the lake front docks and other work also laid off. There was 
a little breeze but it carried a hot wind that added to suffering from the heat 
instead of relieving it.
Hundreds of people flocked to the piers and lake front in search of relief from 
the terrific heat but it availed little as there was little change. The weather 
forecast for the day offers no hope of relif the forecast being south winds and 
continued fair weather on Friday. The night was close and sultry.

The funeral of George Goldie, one of the pioneer settlers of the County, occurred 
at this city last Friday afternoon. Mr. Goldie was born at Connaught, Scotland, 
May 10, 1830, and immigrated to America in 1849. For a period he was employed as 
a sailor on the Great Lakes, but retired from this occupation in the fifties and 
located on a farm in the town of Newton. In 1850 he was married to Margaret 
Stephenson, a daughter of one of the first settlers in the adjoining town of 
Liberty, and they made their home on the farm until the death of Mrs. Goldie a 
few years ago. About five years ago Mr. Goldie removed to this city and took up 
his home on South 13th Street, where he continued to reside until his death. The 
deceased is survived by a family of nine children, Mrs. Margaret O'Niel (sic) of 
the town of Liberty, George who resides on the old farm in Newton, Grace of Port 
Washington, Samuel of Denver, Col, and Eliza, Jessie, John, Robert and Hugh of

sturdy band of first settlers to whom the present generation owe so much.

Goldie Family History
November 14, 1820, Hugh Goldie and Margaret Murdoch were married in Cumnock, 
Scotland by John Frazier, minister. Five children were born to them, Robert, 
James, George, Hannah and Grace. Grace died at the early age of sixteen and 
Hannah married Alexander Mitchell and remained in Cumnock.
In the early part of 1849, George, then a lad of 19 and his brother, James 
started for America and came on to Wisconsin a year or two later. Their parents 
and a brother, Robert left Scotland and sailed for America but the father died 
and was buried at sea. Undismayed, however, the widow continued the journey with 
her son to join the others in Wisconsin. 
In the same year that he arrived, James purchased from the government, a tract 
of land consisting of one hundred sixty acres of forest land in Section 32 in 
the Town of Newton, Manitowoc County. Two years later he conveyed eighty acres 
of it to his brother, George and eight years later sold the other eighty to 
William Bach, a banker and county officer in the City of Manitowoc.
James and George sailed the lakes during the summer and during the winter months 
cleared their farm lands. The former won his way to Captain and the latter his 
mate. They were in command of the Schooner "Game Cock", then one of the finest and 
fleetest vessels on the lakes. During a severe storm in 1853, James was knocked 
overboard by a boom and drowned. George brought the schooner into port but never 
sailed again. From then on he devoted his entire time to his farm, first building 
a log shack, where he installed his mother as housekeeper. She continued to make 
her home with him until his death in March, 1868. Robert, the eldest son, in the 
early days of the Civil War, was called to Green Bay to appear before the Draft 
Board. He caught a severe cold on that day, from the effect of which he died.
On November 15, 1859 George married Margaret Stephenson, daughter of John Stephenson, 
one of the pioneer settlers of the neighboring Town of Liberty and herself one of the 
early teachers of the county. Together they labored to transform the wilderness into 
the pleasant form it now is. The fondness with which he clung to the memories of his 
seafaring days is shown by the fact that the walls of his log house, the Captain 
covered with illustrations from newspapers and magazines depicting vessels, steamers 
and particulars of sailing days. This log shack was retained for many years as a 
storehouse and a playhouse for their children of whom there were nine. They are 
Margaret, now the wife of Frank O'Neil of the town of Liberty, Samuel J., residing 
in California, Grace, residing in Port Washington, John, married and living in 
Manitowoc, Eliza, Robert, Hugh and Jessie, all living as hone happy family in the 
city of Manitowoc and George S., who resides upon the old home farm. On September 1, 
1902, George Goldie's wife died and the same year he turned the farm over to his son, 
George S. and passed his declining years in the city with his other children. He died 
in 1909.
In 1906, George S. married Iona Stewart, daughter of James Stewart of the Town of 
Liberty and they, together with their two girls, Dorothy and Edith reside on the old 
homestead. Description of the present farm is West ¼ Northwest ¼ section 32 and 
Northwest ¼ Southwest ¼ Section 32, Newton. Some years ago a storm swept over the 
town destroying among other buildings, the barn on this farm, since which time it 
has been called "Hurricane Hill Farm". June 11, 1921

Along a moonlit lake;

Of birds among the brake.

On flowers dissolved away;

Lost on the brow of day;

Set round the silver moon;

He was a member of the National Honor Society, President of the Chemistry Club, and was a Leadership Club Representative and a consistent Merit Medal Winner.  John played baseball and basketball, earning letters in both sports for four years.  He was Captain of the basketball team in his senior year and President of his senior class.  John was a premedical student at Marquette University from 1951 to 1954.  In September of 1954, he began medical school at the Medical College of Wisconsin from where he graduated in 1958.  From 1958 to 1963, he attended The Ohio State University for his surgical internship and residency.  In 1963, John served his country in the United States Army in Germany during the Vietnam War providing medical care for the wounded.  He was honorably discharged in 1965.

In 1999, he retired from surgery, but continued office practice until 2004 as an employee of Aurora Health Care.  John expressed time and again that he loved being a surgeon.  It was the only job he ever wanted because he loved helping people.  On December 12, 1980, John married Kay Petersen at Sacred Heart Catholic Church by Rev. William Zimmer.  He was a member of Fellow American College of Surgeons, Sacred Heart Parish where he played piano and organ, and St. Francis of Assisi Parish.  John and Kay enjoyed their trips that included Washington DC, London, Paris, Mt. Rushmore, Atlanta, San Francisco, and Hawaii, but their favorite was to Italy.  He also liked playing piano, reading and studying history, a martini on Saturday nights, working in his yard and garden, and cutting wood for his fireplace that he collected with his farm tractor.  He loved music, especially classical, jazz, blues, and even obtained a music degree later in life.  John was an avid fan of the Brewers, Packers, and The Ohio State basketball and football teams.  He was incredibly proud of his academic accomplishments and his military service.  Above all, John enjoyed spending time with his family and friends – especially his grandchildren.
