THOMAS F. HEALY

HERO OF THE EASTLAND BOAT DISASTER DEAD
Thomas Healy Passes Away After Several Months Illness
Thomas Francis Healy, one of the heroes of the Eastland disaster, passed away at 
the Holy Family hospital early this morning after an illness extending through 
the summer. Mr. Healy was removed to the hospital in June and his condition grew 
gradually worse, death being caused by complications.
Mr. Healy was a veteran sailor and was known among marine men here. Before 
becoming ill, he was steward on the steamer Florida and was in charge of the 
boat when it was in port here last spring.
Credited with saving the lives of many people when the Eastland turned over in 
Chicago in 1915, Mr. Healy showed remarkable bravery at that time of one of the 
greatest disasters, hundreds of persons having been drowned.
Was Steward at Time
The boat on which he was steward at the time was near the scene of the disaster 
and not only did he turn it into a hospital ship, but he dove into the water 
repeatedly saving the lives of many.
Mr. Healy who had been a steward on various boats of the Goodrich line during his 
long years of service with that company, was steward on the Goodrich boat Virginia 
when it was put into service after being built at Cleveland in 1891.
Born at Houghton, Ont., July 5, 1856, Mr. Healy later lived at Sarnia Ont., and at 
the age of 15, began sailing, first sailing on a Lake Superior boat. Chicago has 
been his home port for the last forty years.
Surviving Family
His wife, who was Miss Viola Winters, and three children, all passed away within a 
period of five years. He leaves three sisters, Mrs. C. Cochlan of Chicago, Mrs. S. 
Cone of Dover, Ohio and Mrs. Ella Hosford of Lincoln, Neb. Other relatives are two 
nieces, Miss Florence Cochlan of Chicago and Miss Blanche Irene Shaney of Lincoln, 
Neb., and two nephews, Arthur and Frank Cone.
The body is at Pfeffer's undertaking parlors and it will be there until Friday 
morning when it will lie in state in the vestibule of St. Boniface church from 
8:30 until 9 o'clock. The body will be laid to rest at Evergreen.

SHIPMATES ARE PALLBEARERS AT HEALY FUNERAL
It was a small group of former shipmates who paid honor to Thomas Healy's memory 
by being pallbearers at his funeral this morning. Mr. Healy was with the Goodrich 
comapny as steward for a number of years and his shipmates, faithful to the end, 
were with him today for the last time. Before being taken ill early last summer 
Mr. Healy was steward on the Florida and in recognition of his faithful services, 
William M. Cochrane, proprietor of the Florida, came up from Chicago to be one of 
the pallbearers.
The other pallbearers were J.P. Breuer, chief engineer on the Carolina; Ira Smith, 
painting contractor for the Goodrich line; W.E. Elliot, retired chief engineer of 
the company; Joseph Peroutka, chief engineer of the company, and Fred Heldeman,

While at school, she met her husband, Fred Hecker at a social event. She became one of his favorite “groupies” as she followed him on weekends as he played the accordion in supper clubs and beer halls. The couple would eventually marry on October 20, 1956.
After graduating from college in 1955, Alice worked in occupational therapy with internships in Portland, Oregon; Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Camarillo, California. After their wedding in Chicago, Illinois, the couple established residence in Indianapolis, Indiana. Alice worked for LaRue Carter Hospital for two years and then briefly for Methodist Hospital before focusing full time on her family. She lived her married life in Indiana, first in Indianapolis and then Carmel, except for a three-year period in Australia from 1963-1966.
Fred and Alice had four children Sharon (Tom) Kroll of Mishawaka, Indiana; Jon (Patricia) Hecker of Ellettsville, Indiana; Jamie (Suzanne) Hecker of Dunn Loring, Virginia and Andrew (Kerrie) Hecker of Edina, Minnesota. She is also a proud grandmother of 8 grandchildren, Andrew (deceased), Michael and Matthew Kroll; Benji and Jonah Hecker; Adam, Luke and Noah Hecker.
While she was busy raising her children, she supported their activities by being an active member of PTO, a den mother for cub scouts,” Band Aide” for the high school marching band and the energetic fan at all of their sporting events. She continued her interest by attending the grandchildren’s sporting events whenever possible and taking them to the University of Wisconsin Grandparent Camp in the summer in the hopes that she could entice someone to become a future Badger.
While raising her children, she was famous for inventing summer projects around the house to keep everyone busy. The difficulty of the project and the lack of age and compensation of the children were never considered as these projects included landscaping, digging a basement, scraping and repainting the old buildings on the property and re-sealing the deck to just name a few. Decades later, her children still groan with the memories of those summers, but all are grateful for the values instilled.
Besides being involved in her children and grandchildren’s activities, she loved spending time with friends, shopping for antiques, making baskets, supporting the University of Wisconsin Alumni Association and attending University of Wisconsin sports, especially the football bowl games.
Once the children left the house, she bought a cherry red Mazda Miata convertible which she enjoyed driving around town or on trips. Travel was another one of her hobbies and she and Fred travelled to many places (all seven continents), visiting friends and family and experiencing life through many cultures. Among other adventures, she rode camels, crossed the Outback and danced with Indigenous Tribes in Australia, climbed glaciers in Alaska, walked with penguins in Antarctica, fished for piranha in the Amazon, skied in Chamonix and saw the Great Wall of China. When she missed out on all a destination had in store, her answer was “next trip.”
In her free time, Alice volunteered with charitable groups including Tri-Kappa, Meals on Wheels, P.E.O., Questers, Letreian and the Carmel Historical Society including having her house on the fundraising tour in 2000. She was given the Hamilton County service volunteer award of the year in 2000.
In 2013, Fred and Alice moved to Marquette Retirement Community in Indianapolis where she resided until her death. She is preceded in death by her first grandchild, Andrew Thomas Kroll. She leaves behind her husband of 64 years.
Alice was a bright, smiling and warm person with an engaging personality who was always curious and full of questions. She loved talking to people and could tell you about everyone she met including their children, interests, occupation and activities. She was robbed of her mind and personality as Alzheimer’s progressed through her brain, but she will always be remembered for her warmth and kindness.
She will be laid to rest at the Evergreen cemetery in Manitowoc, Wisconsin.

GETS BAD BURNS
Engineer on Ann Arbor No. 1, Scalded by Steam
Frank Heffernon, engineer on the carferry Ann Arbor, No. 1, suffered severe burns while aboard the boat Saturday night in port here and is being cared for at his home on North Twelfth Street, being removed from the boat immediately after the accident. One of the oilers on the boat turned on the steam while Heffernon was engaged about the boilers and before the engineer could get out of the way he had been scalded about the legs and arms. The burns are severe but it is thought that no permanent injury will result though Heffernon may carry the scars for life. Heffernon was injured some tiime ago at the court house when one of the derrichs broke off and fell upon him.

EMIL HEIDEMANN

NEPHEW WITH HIM ESCAPES SERIOUS HURTS
Heidemann Never Regains His Consciousness After Highway Accident Saturday
A basal skull fracture received shortly before 5 o'clock Saturday 
afternoon when he was thrown from his automobile following its colliding 
with a post on Rabenhorst's hill, one-fourth mile north of Manitowoc Rapids 
on Highway 42, resulted in the death of Emil J. Heidemann, 48, 1206 South 
Seventeenth street Sunday morning. Heidemann never regained consciousness 
after the accident in which he and his nephew, Charles Carle, 1313 Green 
street, figured. Carle received bruises and torn biceps on his left arm.
Only meager details can be learned regarding the accident, no persons at 
the scene or early arrivals being able to report definitely what happened.
Two Thrown From Car
Heidemann and Carle were en route to their homes in this city after 
attending the funeral of Charles Buss, a cousin of Heidemann's. They had 
taken the north road and were proceeding south on 42, when, near the top 
of the winding hill, the Heidemann machine, a light touring car, skidded 
across the road, it is presumed, and crashed into several road markers and 
other signs before overturning.
Frank Gappa and Theodore ???zmski, arriving at the scene shortly afterward, 
picked up the two unconscious men and rushed them to the hospital but 
nothing could be done for Heidemann. Gappa stated this morning that the men 
were lying in the road, about twenty-five feet north of where their car had 
come to a halt, the machine still being partly on the road. Carle was lying 
upon his face and Heidmann, bleeding profusely from the fractured skull and 
a deep fore head gash, was on his back.
Carle left the hospital shortly after he was brought to the institution but 
is still under the care of a physician.
Tells of Fleeing Machine
While many stories weere circulated about the city yesterday and today, 
verification could not be secured and it is believed that the story of the 
machine skidding off the roadway is the correct version of the affair.
Gappa said this morning that as he brought his machine to a halt, a machine 
approached from the south and failed to stop. According to Gappa this machine 
must have been at the scene of the accident before he arrived and lends some 
credence to the report that the machine may have been struck.
Carle Knows No Details
Charles Carle, the nephew and companion of Heidemann, today was unable to add 
any details to the version of the accident. He said he and Heidemann were 
talking as they were riding along and the next thing he knew, he felt a bump 
but could not state if that came from another car or when their machine crashed 
into a post at the side of the road. He was unconscious for about ten minutes 
following the crash.
District Attorney Meyer stated today that all facts in the case had not been 
submitted to him and he was not prepared to state whether an inquest was to be 
held.
Life-Long Resident Here.
Funeral sevices for Mr. Heidemann will be held from the Wattawa chapel Tuesday 
afternoon at 2 o'clock with Rev. Menke officiating. Burial will take place at 
Evergreen.
He was a life-long resident of Manitowoc, being born here on January 31, 1880. 
For a number of years he followed the moulder trade and was an employe of the 
Manitowoc Foundry company when he died.
Fifteen years ago he married Mrs. Heidemann, nee Anna Kawalle, who with two 
daughters, Mrs. Orson Branton of Madison, Miss Ethel at home; one son, William, 
at home; two stepsons, LeRoy and Allan Clark, this city; two brothers, Fred of 
this city and August of Galvestin, Texas, and four sisters, Mrs. Ida Leverenz, 
Milwaukee, Mrs. John Brandle, Moniea, Wisconsin, Mrs. Joseph Lemberger, Antigo, 
and Mrs. William Carle, Manitowoc, survive him. Four grandchildren also survive.
Heidemann was a member of the Rahr guards at the time it was the militia 
organization here.

BREAKS ARM AND LEG IN ACCIDENT
Emil Heindemann Pounded Terribly by Rapidly Revolving Winch Handle
Serious injuries consisting of a broken leg, arm and perhaps internal hurts that 
may prove fatal, were sustained by Emil Heidemann, a workman of the Great Lakes 
Dredge and Dock Company while employed on the outer breakwater in the harbor late 
Monday afternoon and he was taken to the Holy Family hospital where he lies in a 
precarious condition though resting easily. The accident happened while Heinemann 
and another workman were engaged at one of the winches. The injured man's companion 
lost his hold on the handle he was operating and Heidemann, unable to hold the 
apparatus alone, let go also, causing the winch to unwind with fearful velocity, 
the handle pounding the man against the spar with each revolution. Fractures of 
the leg and arm resulted while it has not yet been determined what the extent of 
the internal injuries are. Mr. Heidemann was taken to the dock in a boat and to 
the hospital in the ambulance called by Agent George Houghton.
Heidemann has had his share of misfortune lately, losing his wife and child by 
death and recently his other daughter was run over and seriously hurt in a 
runaway accident on Washington Street. He is a brother of Engineer Heidemann on 
the Goodrich tug, Arctic and many friends will hope that he will come out safely 
from his late mishap.
