HORACE W. HAMILTON

Personal:
H. Hamilton, formerly of Two Rivers but of late a resident of Milwaukee, died on 
Wednesday of this week. He was a prominent business man of Two Rivers at one 
time, active and public spirited.

*****
Died-
Hamilton - At the home of his son in Milwaukee, Feb. 2, 1898, Horace W. Hamilton, 
aged 68 years. Deceased was born in Clarendon, Orleans County, New York, and was 
one of the early settlers of Two Rivers, coming here in 1852 and with the exception 
of two years spent in California, residing here until about ten years ago. He was 
widely known among the old resident of the county and on account of his genial 
nature and jovial inclinations was a general favorite. Soon after taking up his 
residence in this city, he was married to Estella Smith, youngest daughter of 
Deacon H. H. Smith, one of the founders of the city. He was buried in Evergreen 
Cemetery, Manitowoc, last Saturday by the side of his deceased wife and two 
daughters. Two sons survive him, James and Horace, the former residing in the East 
and the latter in Milwaukee. For nearly a year previous to his death, his mental 
faculties were weakened and the past to him was mostly obliterated, owing to the 
nature of the brain. The news of his death will cause many a regret among the old 
settlers of the county, for he was ever ready to share their joys and sorrows in 
the early days here.

KITTIE HAMILTON

No death which has occurred here for many years, if ever, has awakened the 
sympathy for the surviving friends that has been elicited by the loss of Miss 
Kittie Hamilton. Her illness dates from the decease of her sister, Mrs. Beach, 
a fortnight ago. Exhausted by grief at that time, a malady attacked the brain 
and despite the most assiduous care and the best medical skill, she never 
rallied. Her sufferings were intense until death relieved them Sunday evening. 
She was young and popular with all who knew her. The funeral will be held at 
2 o’clock Wednesday afternoon from the Presbyterian church. The arrangements 
will be in charge of the Young Peoples’ Society of Christian Endeavor of which 
she was a member.

A young man was drowned in the pond at Lenivilles Mill on Wednesday 
last, by falling off a log. His name was Samuel Hamlin. It is no 
uncommon thing for men, and even boys, who are unable to swim, to 
exhibit their dexterity and daring, by riding a log, when there is 
no necessity for the risk, and so far as we can learn the subject 
of this article lost his life in this manner, and such warnings are 
by no means uncommon.

came, and physicians were unable to do anything for her.
The death of Mrs. Hampke is a great shock to a wide circle of friends. 
She was in apparent health when Mr. Hampke left home this morning for 
his son's farm and had been about the house and yard attending to work 
at the home. It is believed that Mrs. Hampke was stricken as she entered 
the house from the yard and that she had attempted to make her way to a 
chair near at hand, and fell before reaching it. Mrs. Schwada, a neighbor 
who visited the house during the morning, found Mrs. Hampke on the floor 
and summoned her husband, son and daughter and physicians, but it was too 
late.

Mrs. Hampke was born in Kossuth September 14, 1855, and was married to Mr. 
Hampke October 19, 1873. The family resided in this city for five years 
and then removed to Leroy, Minn., and five years later returned to take up 
their home on a farm on Route 6, now occupeid by Charles Hampke, the parents 
residing a short distance away.
Besides her husband, Mrs. Hampke is survived by three children, Mrs. C.G. 
Schmidt of Wrightstown, Mrs. Carl Kiel of this city, and Charles Hampke, 
Route 6. There are eight grandchildren and two great grandchildren and four 
sisters also survive, Mrs. J. Hessel, Francis Creek; Mrs. W. Bleser, Four

Farm News:
Loader Runs 35 Years
Mr. Hampke is still using an old Keystone hay loader that his father bought 35
years ago, and it runs as good as a new one. Charlie is a believer in taking
good care of his machinery, and as soon as he is through with a farm tool it is
carefully housed away from the weather and the elements. He is still using a 
corn binder that has cut his corn for 24 years, a grain binder has run for 27
years, and is still in good shape.
The weather does more damage to machinery than actual work, is his belief, so
he keeps a good shed for his machinery. The shed he has for that purpose is a
carefully made structure covered with metal roofing on the sides as well as the
top. It is not only weather proof but fire proof as well.
William Hampke, Charles' father, is a man 80 years young, and he declares that
the old Keystone loader is the second one ever to be sold in Manitowoc county.
William still likes to work in the hay, and despite his advanced years, he can
be found up in the mow these days with his fork spreading it around as it is 
sent up to him, and he doesn't ask favors from anybody.

WILLIAM HAMPKE

INJURIES ARE FATAL TO WM. HAMPKE, 81
Passes Away Last Night After Having Been Unconscious for 106 Hours
Injuries which he suffered in a fall from a ladder at the farm home 
on the Town Line road caused the death of William Hempke, native of 
the county, last night. Mr. Hampke, who was past 80 years of age had 
been unconcious since the time of the accident, 106 hours, and at no 
time had he been able to recognize members of the family. The injury 
had caused paralysis of one side of the body.
Born at Two Rivers
A native of Two Rivers, Mr. Hampke was born May 19, 1850 and with the 
exception of about nine years had spent his entire life in Manitowoc 
county. In the early days Mr. Hampke was a butcher and engaged in the 
meat business at Two Rivers, later removing to Minnesota where he had 
purchased a farm. Returning to this county he located on a farm on the 
Town Line road which has remained in the family ever since and is now 
conducted by his son Charles Hampke.
Despite his 81 years Mr. Hampke continued to take an interest in the 
farm and it was insistence to be of aid in the work about the place 
that resulted in his fatal injury. He had over the protests of his son 
and others, mounted a ladder leading to a hay stack and in descending 
fell to the ground, a distance of some fifteen feet sustaining a 
fractured skull and internal injuries.
????? Three Children
Mr. Hampke was married Oct. 19, 1873, to Augusta Kiel, who preceded him 
in death eight years ago. He is survived by three children, Mrs. Louise 
Schmidt of Wrightstown, Mrs. Charles Kiel of Riverside, Calif., and his 
son Charles on the old homestead. There are five grandchildren and two 
great grandchildren also surviving.
Funeral on Monday
Funeral services will be held Monday afternoon from the late home to the 
Rockwood church with the Rev. Zell officiating. Burial will be at 
Evergeen cemetery in this city.
While little hope was entertained that Mr. Hampke would survive his 
injuries, the long time which he lingered unconscious-106 hours-at his 
age is considered most remarkable.

…William Hampke, Charles’ father, is a man 80 years young, and he declares 
that the old Keystone loader is the second one ever to be sold in Manitowoc

he can be found up in the mow these days with his fork spreading it around as 
it is sent up to him, and he doesn’t ask favors from anybody.

FALL OFF STACK MAY BE FATAL TO WM. HAMPKE 
Skull Fracture and Internal Injury Suffered By Aged Farmer 
Suffering from a fractured skull, internal injuries and severe body bruises, 
William Hampke, 82, pioneer farmer of Manitowoc county, lies at death’s door 
at the home of his son, Charles Hampke, Town Line road today, physicians 
entertaining slight hopes that he will survive.
Mr. Hampke was injured late yesterday afternoon when he fell from a ladder 
placed at the side of a hay stack which he had insisted upon climbing to 
assist in stacking straw because of the barn being filled. Despite the protests 
of his son and others Mr. Hampke had helped with the stacking which had been 
completed and as the aged man started to come down the ladder he is believed 
to have been affected by the heat and sun, missed his footing and fell a 
distance of fifteen or more feet, striking his head in the fall.
Unconscious Since Mishap 
The injured man was unconscious when assistance reached him and at noon today 
had not regained his sense. Physicians summoned found it impossible to move 
him and he is being cared for at the home of his son where his condition is 
reported extremely critical this afternoon. Owing to his advanced age there 
appears little chance that he will live.
Mr. Hampke is a pioneer resident of the county having located in Two Rivers 
as a boy and later engaged in farming on the Town Line road. Although he had 
retired years ago, he insisted upon aiding about the farm and being of fairly 
robust health had been about regularly.

MARGARET HANEY

ILL BUT A DAY MRS. HANEY DEAD
Well Known North side Lady Suffers Fatal Attack on Street.
WAS RESIDENT OF THIS CITY FOR 28 YEARS.
Overtaken by a sudden attack of illness while on her way to the North Side 
school entertainment Thursday evening, Mrs. Margaret Haney failed to rally and 
death followed within twenty-four hours, Mrs. Haney’s demise occurring at the 
family home Ninth and St. Clair street Friday evening. Announcement of the death 
of Mrs. Haney is a shock to friends, coming as it does with no warning, she 
having enjoyed excellent health up to the fatal attack Thursday.
Accompanied by her daughter, Miss Mary, Mrs. Haney left home Thursday evening 
to attend the entertainment at the opera house and when at the corner of Eighth 
and Park street was overcome by a fainting spell, resulting from a heart attack 
which proved to be fatal. Mrs. Haney was taken to the home of Dr. Pritchard and 
was revived with effort and later removed home where despite ministrations of 
medical science and love’s tenderest care, death came within a day to claim her.
Mrs. Haney was born in Clare County, Ireland 77 years ago and came to the United 
States at the age of 18, locating in New York where in 1852 she arrived Thomas 
Haney, the husband who preceded her in death nine years. The Haneys came west to 
Sheboygan in 57 and after a year there, located at Montpieler, Kewaunee county on 
a farm, remaining until 28 years ago, when the came to this city. Mrs. Haney was 
the mother of three children, Michael, deceased, John of Algoma and Miss Mary of 
this city.
Mrs. Haney was an extraordinary woman, although years had made her older in name 
only. Her mental faculties were as strong and young as they ever were. She loved 
honesty and fairness, of which she was a sample. She loved her home, her relative 
and her friends and always had an open hand, conveyed by an honest heart, to do 
them a good turn. Since the death of her husband and later the death of her son 
Michael, the burden of sorrow bore heavily upon her. Her loss will be keenly felt 
by those who knew her best. The space of a more noble woman, wife and mother 
cannot be duplicated. She was methodical and diplomatic in every move of life. 
The sorrows and miseries of her friends became hers, and she was ever true in her 
friendships.
The funeral will be held from the home Monday at 2 o’clock.

Thursday evening last week as Mrs. Margareth Haney, with her daughter, was
on her way to the opera house on the North Side to attend an event, she sank
unconscious to the ground at the corner of 8th and Park Streets. She was taken to a
nearby residence and Dr. Pritchard was called. When she regained consciousness she
was moved to her own home where she died Friday evening of heart disease. Mrs.
Haney was 77 years old and had lived in our city for 28 years. She is survived by a
son and a daughter. The funeral was Monday afternoon.

MARY A. HANEY

DEATH ENDS SUFFERINGS OF MISS M. HANEY
Miss Mary Haney passed away Sunday evening at the Holy Family hospital after
a lingering illness, which friends knew some time since had numbered her
days.
Miss Haney was born sixty-six years ago in August at Montpelier, Kewaunee
County, Wisconsin, and came to Manitowoc with her parents in 1880 and has
since resided here. She was a school teacher for some years in her early 
life but, lacking the spur of economic necessity, she drifted from educational
work to devote her time to household duties and her parent's home and to their
care and comfort. Her life for years was a model of filial devotion. When her
father and mother died years ago Miss Haney, being independent, indulged her
long restrained desire for travel. Mr. Haney died 25 years ago and Mrs. Haney
16 years ago.
Of Strong Character
Miss Haney was not demonstrative and did not carry her heart on her sleeve,
or make a friend of each new unfledged companion, but that her character and
personality had earned her many and enduring friendships is testified by the
solicitude and concern of large numbers of her acquaintances for her condition
and comfort during her illness of the past year or so. She was delightful
company, saw nothing but the good in everyone and held the respect and esteem
of the entire community. She was in easy financial circumstances in her own
right and the death of one of her brothers added to her estate, and it is now
reliably reported that Miss Haney might well have been classed as wealthy.
Her kindly administrations and solicitude for old friends of her mother's
and friends of her youth was marked in her later years.
She was the last survivor of her family, her two brothers, John and Michael,
of Kewaunee County, leading figures there in the social and commercial life,
having preceded her a few years ago. Her nearest surviving relatives are two
nieces, Mrs. Dishmaker and Miss Ruth Haney, a student at Downer College.
The funeral will be held from the home Wednesday morning with services at
Sacred Heart Catholic church at 9 o'clock. Burial will be at Evergreen. A
short service will be held at the home Tuesday evening at 7:30. The Rev. W.J.
Luby will officiate at both services.

**********
Micheal C. Haney, news of whose death reached here Tuesday, was known in 
Manitowoc county where he had made his home as a boy and youth and his demise 
occasions sorrow. Mr. Haney had served as mayor of Algoma for several consecutive 
terms and had been foremost in the upbuilding of the town. He had served as a 
member of the state legislature and had been prominently mentioned for state 
office by the Democratic party in which he was a leader. Mr. Haney was a son of 
the late Thos. Haney, of this city and his mother and sister still reside here. 
For several weeks he had been at West Haden, Ind., where his death occurred 
Tuesday morning. The body will be brought to this city for burial and will reach

THOMAS HANEY

TOOK HIS OWN LIFE WHILE TEMPORARILY INSANE.
Thomas Haney of this city committed suicide by hanging himself in his barn on 
Friday afternoon between the hours of 3 and 4. Mrs. Haney having noticed his 
absence for some time went out in search of him and found his body swinging from 
a rafter. Life was extinct. He had tied a rope to a rafter and attached it to his 
neck while standing on a nail keg. He then leaped off and thus ended his life.
An inquest was held before Justice Markham and the jury quickly rendered a verdict 
of “Suicide while temporarily insane.” He has been in very poor health for some 
time and while his acts were not such as to cause alarm, it was evident at times 
that he suffered from mental aberration. He suffered from anaemia (sic) which 
mainly affected his brain, it not receiving sufficient nourishment to keep to 
always in a normal condition.
He leaves a wife and daughter and two sons, M.H. Haney of Algoma and J.L. Haney 
of Kewaunee, both prominent businessmen and men of high character. M.H. is mayor 
of Algoma and served one term in the legislature.
Mr. Haney was born in Sligo, Ireland, August 1820, and came to this country when 
quite a young man. He was one of the early settlers of Kewaunee county having 
located there in 1858. He engaged in farming and was successful far beyond the 
ordinary measure. He disposed of his farm and took up his residence in Manitowoc 
18 years ago. He was a man of comparatively few words except to those whose 
friendship he valued. He was honest in every walk of life, true to every obligation 
and a devoted husband and father. Of late years his health prevented his being 
about much though he enjoyed the companionship of friends

JOHN C.P. HANLEY

Colonel Hanley, Veteran of Both World Wars, Is Dead
Funeral Services to Be Held Wednesday
Col. John C.P. Hanley, 59, of 809 North Sixth street, a veteran of two 
World wars, and who, in World War II, was in charge of transportation 
for the Allied forces in the Normandy invasion, died suddenly late 
Saturday night at the Holy Family hospital.
Colonel Hanley was stricken ill on Friday and rushed to the hospital. 
He was given blood transfusions Saturday but failed to rally.
Funeral services will be held at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday at the Urbanek 
and Schlei funeral home and at 9 o'clock at the Holy Innocents church. 
The Rev. E.A. Radey will officiate and interment will be in Evergreen 
cemetery. There will be military rites at the graveside.
Colonel Hanley was connected with the Wsconsin national guard for more 
than 30 years and in recent years, since coming to Manitowoc, had 
supervised the publication of the National Guard Review, out of the 
state adjutant general's office in Madison. Highlights in his career 
include the award of the croix de guerre by the Republic of France and 
the legion of merit by the United States in 1945 for his services in 
the last war.
Recalled to Service
He went overseas with this division and following the armistice remained 
with the army of occupation in Germany. When he returned to this country 
he located at Stanley and rejoined the Wisconsin national guard. He was 
commander of the 105th cavalry from 1920 to 1940, when he was again 
called to active service, as quartermaster of the 32nd division.
When the guard was called to active service in World War II in 1910 
Colonel Hanley left with his outfit for Camp Livingston, La., where 
he spent a year and was transferred to the east coast to organize a 
transportation district comprising eight states.
As the fighting in Europe grew in intensity he was assigned there. Soon 
after his arrival in England he was named base transportation officer for 
Normandy. The scope of this assignment gradually broadened as the Ailied 
armies advanced until he was made chief of transportation, which included 
the United Kingdom and the liberated countries of Europe. After working 
for several weeks in cross channel operations he was transferred to France. 
One of his main duties was moving of supplies to the front lines.
2 Outstanding Awards
On July 18, 1945, Colonel Hanley, with two other Wisconsin army officers, 
was awarded the croix de guerre in front of Napoleons' tomb in Paris, in 
recognition for exceptional service during the liberation of France. Later 
that year he was awarded the nation's fourth highest decoration, the 
legion of merit, for his organization of the Normandy base section in 1944 
and 1945. This ceremony took place at Brussels, Belgium.
Colonel Hanley's peacetime activities included the mercantile field. From 
1930 to 1940 he was store manager for the Johnson-Hill Mercantile company 
at Chilton. He came to Manitowoc from that city a few years ago.
He was a member of the Drews-Bleser post of the American Legion, the Oas 
post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Amvets and the 40 et 8.
In 1919, colonel Hanley married Miss Ruth Broderick of this city. She 
died in 1923. On Sept. 14, 1942, he married Miss Belle Broderick of this 
city, a sister of his first wife. She survives with two sons, (Survivors 
omitted for privacy.); two brothers, James of Carthage, Mo., and William L. 
of Stanley.
Friends may call at the funeral home after Tuesday noon, where the rosary 
will be recited at 7:45 Tuesday evening.

RUTH HANLEY

MESSAGE BRINGS SADNESS TO MANY FRIENDS HERE
A message that brought sorrow to many friends in the city came from Stanley, 
Wis., last evening, announcing the death there of Mrs. John Hanley, nee Ruth 
Broderick, daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth Broderick, Cleveland avenue, this city. 
Mrs. Stanley had been ill for two months and for several days her condition 
had been critical. Mrs. Broderick and other members of the family were present 
at her death.
The body of Mrs. Hanley will be brought here this afternoon and the funeral 
will be held in this city. Announcement of the burial will be made later.
Mrs. Hanley was born in this city in 1893, being 30 years of age at death. 
She was a graduate of the local schools and later engaged as a teacher at 
Marshfield and later at Stanley. She was married five years ago to Capt. John 
Hanley, upon his return from overseas, the two having met at Marshfield while 
Mrs. Hanley was teaching there. Besides her husband she is survived by two 
children, John Jr., and another son two months of age. The former has been here

Mrs. Hanley's condition became critical and Mrs. Broderick left to be with her 
daughter. Miss Belle Broderick has been at Stanley for several weeks caring for 
her sister. Two other sisters, Alice and Emma and a brother Ephraim of this
