KATHARINE GRAHAM GRAY

SUCCUMBS TO HEART ATTACK ON SATURDAY
Mrs. Theodore Gray Fails To Rally From Several Weeks Illness; Rites Today
Failing to rally from an illness which had kept her confined to her home for 
several weeks, Mrs. Theodore Gray late Saturday afternoon succumbed to a heart 
attack, the end coming suddenly.
Though her condition was such as to give no promise of an ultimate recovery, 
the fatal attack which was unexpected, was a severe shock to family and friends. 
Funeral services were held at the North Eighth street home at 2:30 today, the 
Rev. Phipps officiating. Interment was at Evergreen. Pallbears were Walter 
Hamilton, Guido Rahr, Luling Nash, Paul Schuette, A.L. Hougen and H.O. Wood.
Born In Janesville
Mrs. Gray was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Graham and was born in Janesville, 
March 21, 1867. Her early life was spent in that city attending school there and 
later she continued her education at Sacred Heart convent in Chicago.
She was married to Theodore Gray March 19, 1890. They lived in Whitewater where 
Mr. Gray was engaged in business until 1898 when they came to Manitowoc.
She is survived by her mother, Mrs. Katherine Graham of Janesville, her husband,

pleasant humor that made her the center of every group. Friends will also cherish 
the memory of her love of beauty, her cultured tastes and the alert mind that 
attracted and held friends once gained. Her hospitality was gracious and unfailing 
and her home a happy meeting place not only for friends of her own circle but also 
for the younger people with whom she was a great favorite and who will feel her 
loss as keenly as do those of her own generation.

FORMER HEAD OF UTILITIES IN CITY DIES
T.W. Gray Operated Water Utility Here Before It Was Owned By City
Theodore W. Gray, 76, former public utility executive and active for years in 
the contracting business in this city and Wisconsin, died early last evening 
at the home, 526 North Eighth street. Death was due to a heart attack.
Mr. Gray operated the Manitowoc water utility here for years until it was 
purchased by the city in 1911, and later engaged in the contracting business 
with Fred C. Robinson. He has been inactive since 1930, when he suffered a 
slight stroke.
He was able to be about and as late as Monday was downtown with his daughter, 
Miss Helen Gray. His death occurred at 7:30 o'clock Monday evening.
Funeral Thursday
Funeral services will be held Thursday at 2 p.m., from the Gray residence, 
under Masonic auspices. The Rev. C.H. Phipps of the First Presbyterian church 
will officiate. Burial will be in Evergreen cemetery.
Mr. Gray was born in St. Louis, Mo., in 1865. His father was a contractor and 
builder of gas and waterworks plants in the United States. The son attended 
schools in the east and returned to enter his father's employ. He went to Fargo, 
N.D., to operate a gas plant erected there by his father.
Later the father erected utility plants at Whitewater, Janesville and Beloit 
and his two sons, Theodore and Eugene became associated with him in these 
enterprises. The former entered the hardware business at Whitewater, which he 
operated several years.
In the early eighties Noffit, Hotchkiss and Clark, an eastern firm, secured a 
franchise in this city for building a waterworks plant. The firm operated the 
utility until 1896 when Theodore Gray and W.G. Maxcy of Oshkosh came here and 
took over the plant. The transfer also included water utilities and gas plants 
in other Wisconsin cities, including Antigo, Bayfield and Oshkosh.
Managed Utility
Mr. Gray was made manager of the Manitowoc utility, in which he held extensive 
holdings, and he continued as head of the plant until 1911 when it was purchased 
by the municipality, during the administration of the late Mayor Henry Stolze.
For the next few years Mr. Gray supervised holdings of the Maxcy interests in 
Wisconsin cities although always maintaining his residence in Manitowoc. In 1912 
he formed a partnership with Fred Robinson and the Gray-Robinson construction 
company was incorporated. The firm engaged in the general contracting business, 
principally sewer and waterworks construction.
In 1914 Mr. Gary, with F.T. Zentner, took over the lease of the Williams House, 
then this city's leading hotel, located on the present site of the Kresge store, 
Eighth and Franklin streets. On retirement of Mr. Zentner from this partnership 
Mr. Robinson joined Mr. Gray in operation of the hotel until 1920.
Was Bank Director
The next 10 years Mr. Gray devoted his efforts to the Gray-Robinson company. He 
served several years as a director of the First National bank and was one of the 
organizers and charter members of the Lakeside Country Club. He was a 32nd degree 
Mason, member of the Manitowoc lodge of Elks and the Milwaukee Athletic club.
A stroke he suffered in 1930 forced Mr. Gray to retire from active business.
In 1891 Mr. Gray married Miss Katharine Graham of Whitewater. She died in 1934.
Survivors are three daughters, Dorothy and Helen of this city, Mrs. George Pinney 
of Morristown, N.J.; three sisters, Mrs. F.L. Deming of Bellingham, Wash., Mr. E.P. 
Trautman and Mrs. Harry Hodgman of Hollywood, Calif.; three nieces and seven nephews. 
Two brothers, Eugene and Rollin, preceded him in death.
The body will be moved to the Gray residence late Wednesday afternoon from the 
Frazier mortuary and may be viewed there until the hour of services Thursday.

Stephen Graycarek, wounded and lately returned from overseas and 
in a hospital, has not lost his sense of humor as a result of his 
experience overseas. In a letter received by friends of Graycarek 
tells of some of his experience with army life in the culinary 
department. Graycarek left here on May? 1918 for Camp Grant and 
says that he was picked as a cook. Later ? he crossed seas in 
September (illegible) duties and the equipment ? kitchen gives the 
following ?: “Talk about your kitchens, they had them over there. 
The ? which the cooking for... my contingent was...928 feet wide,
358 feet long... required eighteen firemen to keep it hot, 519 cooks 
to prepare and ...police. We mashed potatoes with a pile driver and 
ground coffee... the 350 H.P. Liberty motor... dirty pans were shot 
out of the kitchen on railway cars. I rode up and ...the mess hall 
on a motorcycle…orders through a megaphone…batter for the flapjacks 
was mixed with twelve concrete mixers and we had a steam shovel moving 
egg shells away from the door. Six kitchen... greased the griddles, 
strapping ..rinds to their feet and sliding on them and the cakes 
were turned with a steam shovel. Graycarek admits that he is unable 
to locate the kitchen described and says the censor is to blame for 
the failure. In the same letter the soldier gives some advice to 
farmers about growing potatoes in dry places and says that the recipe 
was given him by French peasants and that it never failed to produce 
real potatoes. Graycarek says that where potatoes are planted in dry 
places, a small piece of onion should be placed in the ground so that 
the eyes of the potato get water.

IDA GREEN

RUN DOWN ON STREET, IS KILLED
STRUCK BY AUTO IDA GREEN IS FATALLY HURT
Accident At Washington and 15 Streets Results in Death of Victim 
Four Hours Later
Manitowoc's constantly mounting toll of tragic deaths due to traffic 
conditions on city streets and county highways was added to late 
yesterday when Miss Ida Green, 57, sustained fatal injuries when 
struck by an automobile at the corner of Fifteenth and Washington 
streets, the accident occurring shortly after 5 o'clock. Death 
occurred at the Holy Family hospital at about 9:30 o'clock night.
Victor Henry Menchl, 16 year old high school student, son of Henry 
Menchl, was the driver of the light coupe which struck Miss Green 
as she was walking across the west cross-walk, he reported to the 
authorities a few minutes after the accident. In his report to the 
police the driver declared that he was proceeding west on Washington 
street and said that after the car struck the woman she was dragged 
a distance of 10 or 12 feet and that the wheels of the car passed 
over her body. The driver was accompanied by his sister, Miss Mayme 
Menchl, and they were on their way to their home near Brown's Corners.
Rushed to Hospital
Immediately after the accident young Menchl brought his light coupe 
to a stop and assisted in removing the injured woman to the car of 
Olaf Christiansen, 1217 South Fifteenth street and Mr. Christiansen 
and Clarence Tomchek, 2003 Madison street, took her to the hospital. 
Shortly after arrival at the hospital, X-ray pictures were taken to 
determine the full extent of her injuries but she died before the 
pictures were developed.
County authorities late this morning were conferring regarding the 
holding of an inquest but made no definite announcement although 
they were practically certain that one would be hld in the near 
future.
Driver Not Held
Young Menchl reported the accident at police headquarters only a few 
minutes after it occurred and was not held by police. He will be 
expected to give his testimony when the inquest is held.
Owing to the force of the blow, the mechanism of the light machine 
was impaired and the car was taken to a garage for repairs before 
it could be driven away.
Was Walking Alone
Miss Green, for the past three years employed in the plant of the 
Aluminum Goods Manufacturing company here, was one of a large number 
of employes crossing the street at the time the accident occurred. 
She was alone on the crosswalk at the time although other members 
of the plant force were in front and to the rear of her. When the 
driver reported the accidnt to the police, he said the woman was 
dragged along for a distance of 10 or 12 feet but reports of others 
arriving at the scene soon after the accident said that the woman 
had been carried to the left side of the street for a greater 
distance.
Born in Manitowoc
Miss Green was born in Manitowoc on February 11, 1872 but spent 
most of her life in Milwaukee. Living here until she was about 16 
years of age, Miss Green went to Milwaukee and with the exception 
of seven months spent with a brother in California spent her life 
in that city until her return to Manitowoc three years ago. Since 
that time she has been employed in the wrapping department of the 
Aluminum Goods company.
In addition to her sister, Miss Ruby Green, with whom she made her 
home at 1424 South Eleventh street, she is survived by one brother, 
William, also of this city.
Funeral services will be held from the home at 1:30 o'clock Monday 
afternoon and the St. James Episcopal church at 2 o'clock, Father 
Hood officiating. Interment will take place at Evergreen cemetery.

MARY GREEN    (d. 1914)

MOTHER DIES WITHOUT LEARNING FATE OF HER CHILDREN
MRS. W. L. GREEN DIES AT HOME HERE EARLY TODAY-
SEARCH FOR MISSING CHILDREN UNSUCCESSFUL AFTER YEARS
Heart sore and weary from months of suffering from disease, intensified by 
agony of mind over the fate of her two children whose whereabouts are unknown 
to the family, Mrs. Mary Green, wife of W. L. Green, 715 Buffalo street, died 
at the family home early today. Mrs. Green was 60 years of age and death was 
due to tuberculosis from which she had long suffered.
In the closing days of life Mrs. Green had hoped against hope that a search 
which she and her husband had been making for several years past to learn some 
trace of their two children would be successful and that she might be spared 
to welcome their return home. Her last thoughts were of the absent ones and she 
passed away with a prayer for them.
Mr. and Mrs. Green have been residents of this city for several years. Previous 
to that time their two children had left home and for years have not been heard 
from. Since coming here Mr. Green had made many efforts to locate the two but the 
search has brought no results. During the past few weeks, Mrs. Green realizing 
that she could not survive and that death was but a matter of a short time, had 
urged her husband to renew the search and Mr. Green has redoubled his efforts, 
but when death came today no word had been heard.
Mrs. Green was born at Napoleon, O., 1854, and was married in that state, and 
later Mr. and Mrs. Green made their home at various places until coming here 
seven years ago when they have since resided. 
Funeral services will be held from Frazier's hall Monday afternoon and will be 
attended by members of the Order of the Rebekah with which organization decedent 
was affiliated.

Baby Dies of Burns as Fire Guts Apartment
Paul Gretz is in Critical Condition as Wife Escapes
Fire Rescue 2 in Early Morning Blaze at 512 State Street 
A 13-month old child died of burns and suffocation and the father is in critical 
condition at the Holy Family hospital as a result of a fire which swept through 
the apartment of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Gretz at 512 State street shortly before 1 
o’clock this morning. 
The baby, Thomas, and the father were rescued from the smoke filled three-room 
apartment by Capt. Alvin Kiel of the Franklin street fire station, who donned a 
fresh air mask and broke in a ground floor window of the apartment. The child 
was found in the crib and was handed out the window by Kiel.
Groping his way back into the bedroom Kiel found Gretz unconscious on the floor 
beside the bed. The fireman was joined by Harold Mumpy, another fireman, and they 
dragged the father to the window and he was carried into an apartment of the Eggers 
residence adjoining on the east. 
Mrs. Gretz, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Burger, owners of the four apartment 
building, was awakened from her sleep by the smoke and heat and managed to make 
her way to a rear door to cry for help. A snap lock on the door prevented her from 
getting back into the living room.
Firemen Use Inhalators. 
Her cries for help were heard by neighbors, Walter Weber, of 514 North Fifth street, 
who heard her screams and saw smoke rolling out of the apartment, telephoned the 
fire department. Firemen laid two lines of hose in from the street, but when advised 
by Mrs. Gretz that her husband and infant son were still inside, bent their efforts 
to effecting a rescue.

Baby Suffers Burns
Telephone calls summoned Doctors J. W. Steckbauer, C. E. Wall and Theodore Teitgen 
to the scene. Mrs. Gretz was moved to the Holy Family hospital and a few minutes later 
Mr. Gretz was also moved to the hospital in the ambulance. Firemen worked over the 
Gretz son for two hours but there was no sign of life. The child suffered burns about 
the face and legs, in addition to inhaling smoke. 
The father today was under an oxygen tent at the hospital but has not regained 
consciousness. 
(snip)
Not Due to Explosion 
Chief Wetenkamp said early reports the fire was preceded by an explosion are not borne 
out by his investigation this morning. The checkup reveals that the fire started near 
a chimney leading out of the apartment through the wall between the kitchen and living 
room. He said there was never any threat that the fire would spread to the three other 
apartments.
The chief said there had been a fire in the fireplace in the living room earlier in 
the evening. 
Temperatures were down to 14 degrees above zero when the fire broke out. Mrs. Gretz,

Shortly after the composition of our paper we learned that Henry Greve died last
evening. He was 82 years old on the 29th of February this year. He leaves a widow, a

SLEEP MERGES IN DEATH SLUMBER
End Comes Peacefully and Quietly for Henry Greve Sr.
CITY PIONEER AND WELL KNOWN CITIZEN
Passing from a quiet and restful sleep into the slumber that knows no awakening, 
Henry Greve, one of the oldest of the city's pioneers and one who has been 
identified with the early history of the city and community, as we have but few 
here who survive, died at the family home on Washington Street this morning at 
2 o'clock. The death was wholly unexpected and came from a relapse to an illness 
that caused the summoning of his son, Charles from Chicago.
Mr. Greve had arrived from Chicago and brought with him a male nurse to care for 
his parents. The latter felt so much better that his son was enabled to return to 
Chicago. The family however, was called to the sick chamber at 2 o'clock, the 
patient having lapsed into a slumber that appeared to be a fainting spell. He never 
again opened his eyes, quietly passing away as if in sleep. The decedent was 82 
years of age and is survived by an aged widow, one son, four grandchildren and four 
great grandchildren. Funeral arrangements have not yet been made and will be 
announced with the return of Charles Greve from Chicago.
In the death of Mr. Greve the community loses a citizen whose life has long been 
a model of enterprise who had a great amount of civic pride and whose energy was 
devoted to the up-building of the community. He was a Civil War Veteran and early 
started into the furniture and milling business here. He held a number of offices 
of public trust, served as alderman and on the county board and also served as 
assessor. He married Helena Lehman in 1853 and one son was born to the couple who 
at present is manager of the Lehman estate, Chicago.

and paid eloquent tribute to Mr. Greve's sturdy character and his upright life. 
The casket rested midst a profusion of beautiful flowers, the floral tributes

***********
Last week we reported the death of Henry Greve but did not have his biographical
details. Mr. Greve was born 29 February 1828 in Mecklenburg-Schwerin. After
finishing school he learned the joiner’s craft from his father in which he engaged in
Germany for many years. In 1863 he married Miss Helene Lehmann, his now
surviving widow, with whom he came to America that same year. They stayed in
New York for two years and in 1855 they went to the fast-growing west and settled in
Manitowoc where they have lived ever since. He was a skilled carpenter here and
built many of the houses in our city. In 1862 he served as Lieutenant. in Company ‘F’
of the 26th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment and was wounded in the unfortunate Battle of
Chancellorsville. Upon recovery he was released from service. In 1866 he opened a
furniture store and in 1868 established a planing mill. He served in several positions
of trust in our city. In the recent past he was unable to leave his residence and recently
his situation worsened so that his son Carl was summoned from Chicago to be at his
side. Carl brought a distinguished physician with him, but after the condition of Mr.
Greve improved Wednesday last week his son returned to Chicago. A series of
strokes led to his death. He is survived by his widow, one son –the above referred to
Carl Greve –4 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren, as well as 2 sisters who
live in Chicago. His large funeral was held Saturday.
