EDWARD R. GASS

RIVER CLAIMS FIRST VICTIM OF SEASON, BOY OF 14 YRS. 
TRAGEDY ENDS LIFE OF EDWARD GAS SATURDAY 
Companions Fail in Effort to Rescue Drowning Lad
First river casualty of the year occurred late Saturday afternoon when Edward 
Russel, fourteen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Gass, met death by drowning 
in the Manitowoc river at the site of the old Pierce dam near the Gustave Kummer 
farm about half way between Kellners Corner and Rapids. The drowning happened 
about 7:30 and the body was recovered two hours later. 
Young Gass together with a dozen or more Boy Scouts of Troop 3 had arranged for 
an overnight hike on Saturday and left the city in charge of Scoutmaster Caldwell. 
They selected a camping spot on the flats on the south side of the river near the 
old dam site, had finished their supper an engaged in a game of baseball. This 
was about 7 o’clock.
Six of the Boys Slip Away 
The boys were in charge of Mr. Caldwell who supervised their activities and it 
was planned that all should go to the swimming hole nearby for their swim before 
making camp for the night. In accordance with scout training an hour was to 
elapse between meal time and the swim. In the interim the game of ball was begun 
but six of the scouts, Clayton and Charles Glasgow, Michael Gerrigan, Stebs 
McMullen, a Schwab boy, and Edward slipped away from the ball game without the 
scoutmaster knowing about it and started for the river where they soon divested 
themselves of their clothes and plunged into the water.
At the place where the dam used to be the water is said to be very deep and the 
shore precipitous. Edward could only swim a stroke or two and when his companions 
plunged in, followed, but must have stepped in over his depth immediately for the 
boys heard his gasp for help and then saw him disappear. Accustomed as he is to 
scout training, Clayton, the oldest of the Glasgow boys who was nearest, seized 
the stricken boy as he rose for the first time but the drowning lad clutched him 
in such a way that he could not exert his best efforts and scrambled out on shore 
tired out. Arising a second time one or two of the other boys got a grip on the 
Gass boy but he slipped from their grasp and went down a second time never again 
to appear. 
Boys’ Shouts Bring Help
Panic stricken, the boys then shouted for help, knowing that another camp of Scouts, 
Troop 9, was encamped about three quarters of a mile away. The rest of Troop 3 
arrived on the scene and a number of boys including Charles McDermond and Leonard 
Miller, two of the other lads, dove for the body but it was dark and the exact 
location where Gass went down was lost in the excitement. Executive Chadwick and 
John Schmidtman who were with Troop 9 ran to the scene and lent their efforts and 
later a boat was secured from the Fischer farm nearby by Gustav Kummer and the 
scouts and a car dispatched to the city for the police grappling irons. As soon as 
the apparatus arrived, the work of securing the body was not difficult. It was soon 
brought to the surface. 
Word to the stricken family was sent in immediately by telephone from Four Corners 
and the police notified. It was fully an hour, however, before Mr. Gass could be 
located at Two Rivers where he had gone to spend the evening. The grief of the 
father was heart-rending as he assisted in the work of locating the body of his 
boy which later was brought to the city by the Urbanek & Wattawa undertaking van.
Edward Gass was an unusually bright child for his years and had just finished the 
Eighth grade preparatory to entering high school. He was a member of Troop 3 of 
the scouts for several years but had never been given much to swimming as had the 
other scouts because of a slight muscular affliction which he had sustained after 
a severe sickness in his earlier childhood.
Water Fifteen Feet Deep 
The point where the drowning occurred is said to be a hole fifteen feet deep and 
the shore breaks off suddenly into the deep water. It is possible that the Gass boy 
stepped in over his depth immediately and being unable to swim had little chance to 
save himself. His companions did everything possible to save him and but for the 
fact that he had taken a strangling grip on the Glasgow boy he might have been 
pulled to safety. As it was, the latter almost met the same fate. 
No blame is attached to the Scouts or Scoutmaster Caldwell by the bereaved family 
inasmuch as the boys who went swimming ahead of schedule were not in charge of their 
leader when the catastrophe occurred. Executive Chadwick feels particularly distressed 
because of the drowning being the first untoward incident of any kind that has ever 
befallen a scout since he has had charge of their activities in Manitowoc. He with 
Troop 9 and John Schmidtman who was also a member of the camping party with his son 
Jack, did everything possible to render what aid they could in taking charge of the 
demoralized boys of the two camps. Members of Troop 9 assisted Mr. Kummer and Fischer 
in portaging the boat to the scene. They also took charge of the body until the 
arrival of the undertaking van and accompanied Mr. Gass back to the city to console 
the mother.
The sympathy of the entire city goes out to the bereaved parents.

Otto Gass Takes a Bride Today
Assistant to City Engineer Surprises Friends by Joining the Benedicts
MISS DOW IS HIS BRIDE
Young Couple to Reside on So. 16th Street and Be at Home Nov. 1
With a request for two days vacation, Otto Gass, assistant to City engineer 
Rudolph announced his intention of joining the ranks of the benedicts and at 2 
o'clock this afternoon, he was wedded to Miss Eva Dow, the marriage being a complete 
surprise to friends of the couple who are among the best known young people of the 
city. Rumor has foretold the happy event for several days past and the plans of the 
couple to have the wedding a secret were defeated. The date was not known however, 
until the request made by Mr. Gass for a vacation.
Rev. J.J. O'Leary of Sacred Heart Catholic Church officiated at the wedding ceremony 
which was solemnized at the church parsonage. The bridal pair was unattended and the 
parents of the bride and a few other relatives only were present at the ceremony. A 
reception was held at the Dow home on Sixth Street and Mr. and Mrs. Gass repaired at 
once to their own home, 820 So. Sixteenth St., where they will be "at home" to friends 
after Nov. 1. They plan no wedding tour at this time.
The marriage of Mr. Gass and Miss Dow is pleasing to friends who have known of the 
attachment existing for a long time. The bride is a daughter of Capt. and Mrs. A.A. Dow 
and is a most esteemable young lady who is well fitted to preside over a home of her own. 
Mr. Gass came to the city from Newton several years ago and is a self made man whose 
success has been marked. He is a graduate of the North Side High School and as a student 
was awarded the prize for a history of Manitowoc competition by the Library Board. For 
three years he has served the city as assistant engineer and is a faithful and capable 
official. He was for a time a member of the call list of the city fire department.

Otto Gass Takes a Bride Today
Assistant to City Engineer Surprises Friends by Joining the Benedicts
MISS DOW IS HIS BRIDE
Young Couple to Reside on So. 16th Street and Be at Home Nov. 1
With a request for two days vacation, Otto Gass, assistant to City engineer 
Rudolph announced his intention of joining the ranks of the benedicts and at 2 
o'clock this afternoon, he was wedded to Miss Eva Dow, the marriage being a complete 
surprise to friends of the couple who are among the best known young people of the 
city. Rumor has foretold the happy event for several days past and the plans of the 
couple to have the wedding a secret were defeated. The date was not known however, 
until the request made by Mr. Gass for a vacation.
Rev. J.J. O'Leary of Sacred Heart Catholic Church officiated at the wedding ceremony 
which was solemnized at the church parsonage. The bridal pair was unattended and the 
parents of the bride and a few other relatives only were present at the ceremony. A 
reception was held at the Dow home on Sixth Street and Mr. and Mrs. Gass repaired at 
once to their own home, 820 So. Sixteenth St., where they will be "at home" to friends 
after Nov. 1. They plan no wedding tour at this time.
The marriage of Mr. Gass and Miss Dow is pleasing to friends who have known of the 
attachment existing for a long time. The bride is a daughter of Capt. and Mrs. A.A. Dow 
and is a most esteemable young lady who is well fitted to preside over a home of her own. 
Mr. Gass came to the city from Newton several years ago and is a self made man whose 
success has been marked. He is a graduate of the North Side High School and as a student 
was awarded the prize for a history of Manitowoc competition by the Library Board. For 
three years he has served the city as assistant engineer and is a faithful and capable 
official. He was for a time a member of the call list of the city fire department.

Death of Baby Not Listed as Road Fatality
The still born infant of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Gates of route 2, Two Rivers, who 
was a victim of Memorial drive crash June 24, has not been classed as a motor 
vehicle death, according to Dr. Theodore Teitgen, coroner.
(snip)
Decision by State
According to Dr. Teitgen, the decision came from the motor vehicle department. He 
said he presumed that the Gates baby was the first case of its kind in Wisconsin 
as the department had to consult the National Safety council and the supreme court 
to reach its decision.
The letter to Dr. Teitgen read: "The death of a live born baby resulting from 
pre-natal traffic accident injuries is classified as a motor vehicle accident 
death. However, if the baby was not injured in an accident and died because of 
circumstances of its birth, the death is not classified as a traffic fatality."
"Abortion, miscarriage, or still birth resulting from a motor vehicle accident 
to a pregnant woman is not classified as a motor vehicle accident death."

"August A. Gauger, well known Washington street blacksmith and 
horseshoer, died after a lingering illness of heart trouble.  He was 
born in this city December 8, 1875 at the old homestead on South 15th 
street, which he still occupied at the time of his death.  He attended 
the old third ward school until he was 14 years of age, when he was 
called upon by his father to learn the blacksmith and shoeing trade 
which he worked for 66 years.  His health failing, he was forced to quit 
the trade.  The old Gauger blacksmith shop was erected in 1870.  It was 
equipped with an old time ox frame to shoe oxen, which was used 
extensively in those days.  After serving a number of years as 
apprentice Mr. Gauger's father entered into a partnership with him under 
the name of O. Gauger and Son.  After his father became incompetent and 
retired he went into partnership with the following well-known 
blacksmiths-Charles Zinkel, Bern Kitserow and Phil Heidorf.  Mr. Heidorf 
is still operating the shop and it is the last horseshoeing shop in the 
city today."
"Mr. Gauger was married in 1899 to Amanda Baerwaldt of this city who 
survives with one daughter, Mrs. Otto Rapp, one grandchild, and two 
brothers, Edward of this city and John of Porterville, California.  Mr. 
Gauger was an active member of the old Manitowoc Turn verein serving as 
Turning Teacher for (illegible) years until the Verien finally 
disbanded."
"Although his education was limited, Mr. Gauger succeeded in passing 
the civil service examination and was appointed substitute mail carrier 
under Postmaster Harry Kress.  At that time the mail was collected from 
the corner mail box with a horse and cart.  He was a charter member of 
the old Manitowoc County Blacksmiths' association, also a charter member 
of the Master Horseshoers Protective association of America.  Hew as a 
member of the following lodges: the E. R. A., the Beavers, and the local 
Aerie of Eagles, who will conduct the funeral services.  The body was 
taken to the funeral home of Pfeffer's, 929 South 14th street, where it 
will stay until the day of burial.  Burial will be at 2 p.m. on August 
13th, Friday.  Interment will be in the Evergreen Cemetery."

Woman dead, boyfriend wounded
SEMINOLE - A Seminole woman returned home early Tuesday morning to find her 25-year-old daughter dead on the kitchen floor and the daughter's 27-year-old boyfriend critically wounded. Both had been shot once in the head.
Two of the woman's grandchildren were asleep on the floor near where the woman's body lay.
Investigators believe that the man shot his girlfriend then himself, said Pinellas County sheriff's spokesman Lt. John Becchichio.
The body of Susan Alice Gaugh was bound on the kitchen floor of her mother's house at 8302 82nd Way N. Seminole. Ms. Gaugh lived with her mother.
The boyfriend, Stephen Switala of 222 12th Ave. S, Safety Harbor, was found a few feet away. A handgun lay on the floor near Switala, Bocchichio said.
Switala was taken to Humana Hospital Northside where he was listed in critical condition in the intensive care unit Tuesday evening, a nursing supervisor said.
Ms. Gaugh's mother, Nancy DeFaut, and another daughter, Jody Holmes, found the couple at 1:30 a.m. after returning from a Pinellas Park bar. The two had left the couple to go to the bar between 9 and 9:30 p.m.
"She was trying to break up the relationship," Ms. DeFaut said Tuesday. "When we left the house it looked like a peaceful conversation, otherwise we wouldn't have left."
Ms. DeFaut's two grandchildren, Toby Gaugh and Travis Holmes, both 4 years old, were watching TV when Ms. DeFaut and Ms. Holmes left for the bar. When they discovered the body several hours later, the children were sleeping in front of the TV, they said. Investigators said the children slept through the violence.
Sheriff's investigators said Ms. Gaugh had invited Switala to dinner at her mother's home so that she could return a diamond engagement ring to him, Bocchichio said.
But Ms. Holmes gave this account of what happened:
Ms. Holmes, who is vacationing here from Wisconsin, said she and her mother and the grandchildren went to eat dinner at a relative's mobile home in Seminole at 5:30 p.m. Monday evening. Ms. Gaugh, a barmaid at the Corner Tavern in Pinellas Park, worked until 7 p.m. and then returned to her mother's home on 82nd Way.
Shortly after 7:30 p.m. Ms. Gaugh phoned her family, who was still at the relative's mobile home.
"She told us that Stephen was (at the house). She talked to my mom. She just said, 'Steve's here, can you come home?' She just didn't want to be alone with him," Ms. Holmes said.
Because of the phone call, Ms. DeFaut, Ms. Holmes and the grandchildren returned to Ms. DeFaut's home.
About an hour later Ms. DeFaut and Ms. Holmes went to the Corner Tavern. Neither woman knew what happened next, Ms. Holmes said.
"I don't really know the guy, so I can't judge him, but he seemed nice," Ms. Holmes said of her sister's boyfriend. But she added: "I heard he had a very short fuse."
Ms. Holmes said when she and her mother returned at 1:30 a.m. they found Ms. Gaugh lying face up on the kitchen floor. Switala was also found face up lying between the kitchen and the living room still alive, Ms. Holmes said.

Sr., a well-known local man who has made his home in Manitowoc for the
past 24 years. Although he had been a sufferer from heart trouble for the

on the site now occupied by the Elk's club. He remained in the business
for 12 years, became a member of the police department for a brief time
and was later employed at the Manitowoc Products Company. He had lived a
more or less retired life during the past five years owing to illness. He
was a member of the Catholic Knights.
Surviving Family
Besides his widow, he is survived by five children, Mrs. Arthur Diegel,
Mrs. Carl Prucha and Miss Alma, all of Manitowoc, Roy of Milwaukee, and
Omar, Jr., of Manitowoc; three sisters, Mrs. John Allie, Two Rivers, Mrs.
Nelson Trudell and Mrs. Fred Utecht of Milwaukee and one grandchild
survive him.
Funeral services will be held from the family home at 9 o'clock and from
