My Grandpa just died
But he gave us his pride.
I took it slow though we must let him go.
He would always tell
How much he loved us so well.
Now he's an angel.
Just sit and lie
It's okay to cry.
I love him with all my heart
I wish we're never apart.
He loved his Cardinal birds
These are my last words...

FREDERICK JIRIKOWIC

SECOND DEATH IN DREWS POST LOCAL LEGION 
Fred Jirikowic, World War Veteran, Loses Last Battle
Frederick J. Jirikowic, veteran of the World war, who escaped the enemy’s 
bullets overseas, lost his last battle today to death, his demise being directly 
traceable to ravages of the war, in which his health was shattered during service 
with the United States forces. Mr. Jirikowic died at the family home at 910 
Hancock street, at 5 o’clock this morning after a lingering illness against which 
he made a brave fight.
Mr. Jirikowic is a brother-in-law of Major Edward Schmidt and a son of the late 
Joseph Jirikowic. He was born in this city January 20, 1896, being 28 at his death, 
and attended the local schools and graduated with the class of 1915. Later he 
attended the North Dakota Agricultural college at Fargo, and it was while a student 
there that he heard the call of his country and enlisted for service in the World war.
Served Overseas.
Enlisting at Chicago in March, 1918, Mr. Jirkiowic was assigned to the 161st 
department brigade, 23rd company, and as a sergeant of that command crossed overseas 
and on June 1 was transferred to Company B, 331st machine gun battalion. He served 
throughout the war and was mustered out of service February 29, 1920, at Fort Bayard, 
N.M. 
Following his service Mr. Jirikowic’s health failed and for many months he has been 
fighting to regain lost ground but without result and of late his condition had 
become such as to cause abandonment of hope and early this morning the end came.
Second Death in Legion.
The death of Mr. Jirikowic is the second in Guy Drews post, American Legion, with 
which he was affiliated as a member. Henry Frisch was the first member of the post 
to be summoned, passing away about eighteen months ago.
A Military Burial.
While funeral arrangements have not been completed, awaiting word from relatives 
from a distance, it is probable that the burial will be a military one with the 
Legion according full honors to the dead. 
Mr. Jirikowic’s parents are dead and he is survived by four brothers and nine sisters, 
Dr. Joseph Jirikowic, of Souris, N.D., Mrs. H. B. Van Winkle of Denver, Mrs. Charles 
Schumacher of Dutton, Mont., Mrs. William Barr and Miss Alvina Jirikowic of Chicago, 
Mrs. Edward Schmidt, Mrs. Theresa Harms, Mrs. Earl Dueno, Misses Alma, Louis and Emil, 
Frank and Reginald Jirikowic, of this city.

"Jesus Heard You..."
Jesus heard when you prayed last night.
He talked with God about you.
Jesus was there when you fought your fight,
He is going to bring you through.
Jesus knew when you shed those tears,
you did not weep alone.
The burdens you thought too heavy to bear.
He made them His very own.
Jesus Himself was touched by that trial,
you could not understand.
Jesus stood by as you almost
fell and lovingly clasped your hand.
Jesus cared when you bore that pain,
indeed, He bore it too.
He felt each pain, each ache in your heart,
because of His love for you.
Jesus, your Saviour, will always be with you,
no need to be anxious or fret.
Wonderful love, He will be there all the time,
He has never forsaken you yet.

ANN JOHNS

At the home of her daughter in this city, Mrs. Ann Johns aged 79 
years and six months.
She was born in Newport, England and came to this country in 1851. 
After a brief residence in Troy, N.Y. the family came to this county 
where the deceased has since resided. She was the mother of thirteen 
children, five of whom with her aged husband survive her. In the 
earlier time of this city Mrs. Johns was a very active woman in the 
community. No one was so ready to help in time of trouble as she, no 
one could more effectively minister to the necessities of the sick or 
could better console those from whom death had removed loved ones.
Her life was no smooth journey. Trouble came often and bore heavily 
upon her but no sorrow dimmed her faith in Jesus. For over fifty years 
she was a consistent member of the Presbyterian church.
For a number of years she has been an invalid and unable to attend 
services but her heart was with God's people. She longed for release 
from pain and "___saw no messenger of gloom in him whom we call Death; 
nor met her doom. As prisoner his sentence; but naturally as ????? ??? 
untolds to ?????.
As a child to man, so man to angel--She recognized in Death the glad 
evangel, Leading to scenes of higher life and power."

During the past ????e months there have occurred ten deaths among our two 
hundred odd inmates as follows:
July 5, 1916-Thomas Nash of cancer of rectum, aged 65 years.[Evergreen, Manitowoc]
Aug. 14, 1916-Mary Heindl of valvular heart disease, 88 years.[Evergreen, Manitowoc]

Oct. 8, 1916-George Hartel, of pleurisy, 60 years. [Evergreen, Manitowoc]
Dec. 12, 1916-Adam Guenther, of cerebral hemorrhage, 74 years. [Can't find burial]
Feb. 25, 1917-Frank Nooker, of arteric sclerosis, 72 years. [St. Mary, Mishicot twp]
March 22, 1917-John Brost of pneumonia, 46 years. [Holy Trinity, School Hill]
                   [John Braest on 1910 Manitowoc census-asylum list]

               [Wiedeman Wasten-Evergreen, Manitowoc]
June 27, 1917-CATHERINE JOHNS, of arteric sclerosis, 76 years.[Evergreen, Manitowoc]
Since the last report a portion of the Klingholz farm, lately purchased by the 
asylum has been set aside for a cemetery for the interment of those inmates 
dying, and unclaimed by relatives or friends.
Under the humane management of Supt. Drews the patients are made as comfortable 
as possible under the circumstances. The systematic running of the farm 
furnishes an abundance of meat and vegetables, enough and to spare.
To Mrs. Drews, the matron, praise is due for the efficient care of the kitchen 
and the preparation of plenty of plain but nourishing food.
The many years of service the attendants have been employed testifies to their 
efficiency and trustworthiness in the care of the unfortunates.
And lastly too much praise can not be bestowed to the trustees for the 
painstaking manner of the performance devolving upon them.
For these various reasons our county asylum is ever acknowledged as one of the 
best in the state.
Respectfully submitted. Louis Falge, M.D.
Upon motion of Mr. Gennrich, the report was adopted unanimously upon roll call.

Miss Sarah Johns, pioneer resident of the city, died at the county asylum, 
where she had been an inmate for several years, late Sunday following an 
illness of several months. Miss Johns was 78 years old and was born at 
Newport, Wales, coming to this country with her parents when but a child. 
For many years she made this city her home, living alone in a home on North 
Seventh street. She is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Robinson of 
Baraboo and Mrs. Ruth Spaulsbury of Sawyer and one brother, William Johns, 
who is an inmate of the Odd Fellows Home at Green Bay. The funeral 
arrangements will be announced later.

Miss Sarah Johns died at the county hospital last Sunday evening. She was born 
at Newport, Wales, 78 years ago and came to this country with her parents when 
a child and lived here ever since. She is survived by two sisters, Elizabeth 
Robinson of Pewaukee, Ruth Spaulsbury of Sturgeon Bay and a brother, William 
Johns of Green Bay. The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon with interment at 
Evergreen. The life of Miss Johns is worthy the pen of a Balsac or Maupasant. 
When a young woman, a disease left her disfigured, hopelessly crippled and stone 
deaf. For over fifty years she bore up under these afflictions with an almost 
incredible Christian fortitude and for many years earned her own living and paid 
her own way. Her faith was no veneer. She loved her bible and was a profound 
student of it. Those who knew her best respected and admired her despite the 
eccentricities natural to her condition. When nature could stand no more in her 
age and her reason sagged under the strain a few friends learned from her 
irrational talk the romance of her early life, the tragic fact that she had 
been waiting all these long years for the return of a young man, sleeping on 
a southern battlefield, over a half century waiting and actually expecting but 
in terror that her physical condition would alter his feeling toward her. If the 
account is balanced in the other side, this woman is at last happy.

Miss (sic) Elizabeth Robinson who was here for the funeral of her sister, 
Miss Sarah Johns, has returned to her home at Pewaukee. Her brother William, 
who resides at Green Bay and was here for the same purpose, accompanied Mrs. 
Robinson for a visit at Pewaukee.

ANTON JOHNSON

Death Sat., after a long illness, of Anton Johnson, a well-known 
resident of our city. The deceased, who was born in Norway in 1843, 
came to America in 1871 and 2 years later moved to Manitowoc. In 
1891 he established the J.G. Johnson Co. here, a wood and coal 
company. He leaves his widow and 7 children. The funeral was held 
Tues. afternoon.
Der Nord Westen, 26 Dec. 1901
**********
ANTON JOHNSON DIED SUDDENLY.
A Highly Respected Citizen Passes Away.
Leaves A Worthy Record.
His Death Is Very Much Deplored In City.
Was Apparently In Robust Health.
The Funeral Took Place Last Tuesday-Many Beautiful Floral Offerings.
It was with unusual regret the citizens heard last Saturday of the 
death of Anton Johnson, at the age of 57 years. Few persons who saw 
Mr. Johnson several weeks ago would have believed death was on his 
track. He looked rugged, cheerful of disposition and seemingly 
indifferent to the severity of the weather. When Mr. Johnson began 
to complain to his friends that he was feeling somewhat indisposed 
the thought was that it was temporary and nothing serious. This 
feeling of confidence in his health was increased when he was seen 
on the streets last Thursday week-a day full of bluster, the atmosphere 
and wind being unkind to those in robust health.
But death has taken this good man, worthy citizen, indulgent father and 
faithful husband, away. He leaves to his family a legacy of good example, 
an excellent name and an irreproachable character. He was an admirable 
neighbor and a genial companion. He was free from guile and his life 
stood for truth and integrity. He was born in 1843 at Larvig, Norway; 
he came to America in 1871 and two years later took up his home in this 
city. He was a ship carpenter and followed the vocation for some time, 
later removing to Branch where he established a general store conducting 
the business until 1884. In 1891 he engaged in the wood and coal business 
here, retiring in 1896. He has several times been selected to responsible 
positions under the municipal government and at the time of his death was 
harbor-master.
Besides a wife, seven children, four sons John G., Charles B, Alfred, and 
Anton F. and three daughters Josephine A., Hilda M. and Bertha survive to 
mourn his loss.
The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon, the Rev. Mr. Thorsen 
officiating. Many beautiful floral tributes were sent to the home in 
respect of his memory.

ELMER M. JOHNSON    (d. 1923)

OUT OF WORK, DESPONDENT, SUICIDE 
E. JOHNSON FIRES BULLET INTO BRAIN 
Wife Finds Him in Chair with Revolver in His Hand 
Despondent because of his inability to secure work after he had resigned a 
position as accountant at the North Western freight offices months ago, worried 
and his mind affected, Elmer Johnson, 31, married, ended his life late yesterday 
afternoon by firing a bullet into his brain. Johnson died at the hospital at 9

Johnson having sent the children into the yard to play and Mrs. Johnson being 
absent on a visit to friends. Discovery of the suicide was made by Mrs. Johnson 
when upon her return home she found her husband seated in a chair, apparently 
asleep. She called to him and when he did not respond shook him and the revolver 
which he had grasped in his hand, fell to the floor, revealing the terrible 
tragedy. Blood covered the side of the face but had been hidden from view of the 
wife who believed her husband was dozing. 
Alive When Found 
Mr. Johnson was still alive when a physician reached the home in response to a 
summons and he was removed to the hospital but the wound which had been inflicted 
just above the temple, proved fatal. Mrs. Johnson was overcome and had to receive 
the car of physicians.
According to relatives the dead man had not been himself for some time and during 
the past several days, had acted strangely but he had given no intimation of 
intention to take his own life.
With N.W. Twelve Years 
Up to a few months ago Mr. Johnson had been employed at the offices of the North 
Western Railway company in this city but resigned three months ago and since that 
time had not been employed. He was born on June 13, 1892 and had made his home here 
for fifteen years, having removed to the city from Eau Claire. He is survived by

G. JOHNSON RESIDENT HERE FOR 66 YEARS
Pioneer Whose Death Occurred Saturday, One of Oldest Here
FUNERAL WILL BE HELD TOMORROW
George Johnson, a brief notice of whose death appeared in Saturday's 
Herald, was a resident of Manitowoc for sixty-six years. He was born 
at Farson, Norway, January 1st, 1827 and in his youth was a "deep water" 
sailor on Norwegian ships. He came to America in 1845, settling in 
Chicago. Five years later he moved with his wife to Manitowoc where he 
has resided ever since.
For thirty years he carried on an extensive shipping business on the 
Great Lakes, owning five vessels at different times. At the age of 
forty-nine, he left the shipping business and opened up a grocery and 
crockery store on Buffalo Street and continued in this for twenty-seven 
years. In 1903, poor health compelled him to retire from business. Since 
then he has been gradually failing in health. He passed away last Friday 
at 6:30 A.M. at the family residence on New York Avenue.
Mr. Johnson is survived by his wife and nine children, fourteen grand 
children and three great grandchildren. The children are Mrs. C.B. Stange 
and Mr. M.W. Heil, Chicago; Mrs. H.C. Wuife, Erie, Penn.; Mrs. L.F. Rahr, 
Elkhorn,; Mrs. Floyd D. Jones, Chicago; Mrs. R.E. Mau??, Missou?, Mont.; 
Mrs. W.H. Williamson, Rockford, Ill.; M.O. Johnson, Chicago, and Gus. A. 
Johnson, Seattle, Wash. All will be here at the funeral, which will be 
held Tuesday at 1 p.m. from the family residence at New York Avenue and 
14th Street. Rev. Espeseth, of the St. Paul Lutheran Church will conduct 
the funeral services. The pall bearers will be Mr. Thos. Hanson, Mr. 
Peter Anderson, Mr. Nels Peterson, Mr. Albert War???, Mr. Peter Nelson 
and Mr. Ever Horreson.
Mr. Johnson was an important factor in the early commercial life of 
Manitowoc but for nearly a generation has been in partial or entire 
retirement. He was of the practical handworking type that brooked (sic) 
no nonsense and drove through obstacles to success; composed of the stuff 
that makes pioneers.
There are but few left whose residence antedates his coming here.

GRACE A. JOHNSON

DEATH COMES, A MESSENGER OF PEACE TO HER 
Death came as a relief from long suffering to Mrs. Grace Johnson, wife of Ole H. 
Johnson, who passed away at 12:45 this morning at the family home, 519 North 
Ninth street. Mrs. Johnson had been in failing health for two years and had 
suffered intensely through six months, and for the last several days had been 
unconscious. She was a patient at the hospital for more than three months, but 
found no relief.
Born at Eau Claire forty-four years ago, April 14, Mrs. Johnson, who was formerly 
Grace Aurelia McKeen, was married there fourteen years ago to Mr. Johnson, and 
since her marriage had made her home in Manitowoc. 
Her husband and two daughters by a former marriage, Miss Alice Mordaunt of 
Manitowoc and Mrs. John Borths of Milwaukee, and her mother, Mrs. Mary McKeen of 
Eau Claire, are left to mourn her death. Other relatives are a sister, Mrs. Anna 
Hill of Lac du Flambeau, and two brothers, H.A. McKeen of Eau Claire. 
Mrs. McKeen, mother of Mrs. Johnson, arrived here two weeks ago from Eau Claire, 
when Mrs. Johnson’s condition became worse.
The funeral will be held Thursday, with services at 2 p.m. at St. James Episcopal 
church, the Rev. F. P. Keicher officiating. Burial will be made at Evergreen 
cemetery. 
A member of St. James church, of the Women’s Relief Corps, the Fraternal Reserve 
and the Eagles Auxiliary, Mrs. Johnson was prevented from taking part in the 
activities of those organizations because of her continued ill health.
Mrs. Johnson who was well known will be missed by many. Despite her intense and 
severe suffering she was always patient and cheerful and was always considerate 
of those with whom she came in contact.

Miss Johnson made a brave and patient fight for life but the malady from which she suffered 
could not be overcome. Throughout her long illness she was cheerful and always hoped that she 
might recover. Her suffering was borne with the utmost fortitude and her early death in the 
prime of life calls for the sympathy of the community to the family.

after he had been rendered unconscious by the deadly fumes and was revived only 
after a physician's services had been employed for some time. Mr. Johnson faced 
death in two forms, by asphyxiation and drowning, the bath tub having been filled 
with water at the time he was overcome by the gas. Though weakened by his experience 
and suffering a severe nervous shock, Mr. Johnson has recovered.
A small gas heater had been lighted to heat the bath room and it was a defect in 
this which resulted in the trouble that came near to causing the death of Mr. 
Johnson. A cap to the tube connecting the stove with the gas pipe became loosened 
and permitted the gas to escape into the room. Mr. Johnson did not notice the defect 
and when he did smell the gas he was so nearly overcome that it was only by great 
effort that he was able to give an alarm by rapping on the wall. The rap was heard 
by Mrs. Johnson in an adjoining room and she rushed to the rescue and succeeded in 
dragging her husband from the bath tub and into another room. Ald (sic) was then 
summoned from the Richards home adjoining and a call was made for Dr. G.W. Patchen, 
who responded at once to attend the stricken man.
The escaping gas had filled the bath room and penetrated to other rooms of the home 
but a thorough airing soon cleared the atmosphere.
The accident which was nearly the cause of taking of Mr. Johnson is one of many 
narrow escapes from death which he has sustained of late years. He has been in a 
dangerous runaway, suffered a siege of typhoid that would have carried away most 
men and has had others which would give him ample opportunity of joining the ranks 
of, and believing in the theory of the Fatalists.

JOHN, WILLIAM, JOSEPH JOHNSON

JOHN AND ANNA JOHNSON'S CHILDREN:

THREE BROTHERS DROWN,
While Attempting to Cross the River on the Ice. 
Saturday afternoon three sons of John Johnson, a laborer at the shipyards, 
went into the country in quest of wintergreen. About 4 o'clock, having 
roamed the woods adjoining the cemetery, they determined to cross the river 
at a point a little above the second railroad bridge. The oldest, named Willie, 
about fourteen years of age, was ahead of his brothers some distance, and 
sliding on the ice in usual boyish fashion. When about halfway across, the ice 
suddenly gave way beneath him. He clung to the ice for dear life, and waited 
for his younger brothers, who had started towards him as soon as they saw him 
disappear. They tried their best to save their elder brother, but they were too 
weak, John being but ten years old and Joseph only eight. After several vain 
endeavors to save their brother, their footing suddenly gave way, and they too 
went into the river, and immediately sank to the bottom. A farmer passing on the 
road had witnessed the accident, and hurried down to save, if possible. But he 
was too late. Poor Willie could hold out no longer, and he soon followed his little 
brothers to the bottom. A little playmate of theirs, who had been with them in 
the woods, had seen the accident from the distance and immediately hurried to the 
city to report the sad news. Many of our citizens at once hastened to the scene 
with axes and poles. The ice was cleared away and a diligent search instituted. 
The body of Willie, the oldest, was soon found at a distance of about thirty feet 
from where he had fallen in. It was found by Frank Yanda. About 11 o'clock Saturday 
night a sailor named Knudson found the body of Johnnie; it was still further down 
the river than Willie's. Search was kept up until late Saturday night and renewed 
with the same diligence on Sunday and Monday, but no traces could be found of the 
body of Joseph, the youngest. As before stated, he was but eight years old, and 
small for a boy of that age; hence it was thought the current had carried him far 
down the river.
This heart-rending accident is one of the saddest that ever happened in our city. 
To have three little laughing lads suddenly find a watery grave is indeed terrible 
to contemplate, and Mr. Johnson can assured of the sincere sympathy of the entire 
community. The funeral takes place this afternoon at two o'clock.
Manitowoc Lake Shore Times, Tuesday, December 13, 1881 P. 1
*********
Found.
Last Thursday afternoon, the body of Joseph Johnson, the youngest of the three 
brothers whose sad drowning we chronicled last week, was found by the bereaved father. 
It was found about a mile from the place where he had fallen in.
Diligent search was made ever since the accident occurred and success was often 
despaired of, but the brave men engaged in the search never gave up. Six days and 
sometimes even during the night, the neighbors and relatives Mr. Johnson worked at 
clearing the ice and searching the bottom until finally, as before stated, the body 
was found.
The funeral took place Sunday afternoon, and was largely attended. Six little boys, 
playmates of the deceased, acted as pall-bearers.

JULIUS JOHNSON  (d. 1917)

JULIUS JOHNSON, PIONEER SETTLER OF CITY, PASSES AWAY AT HOLLYWOOD, 
CAL., AT AGE OF 79 YEARS
Pioneer Vessel Captain Was Formerly Instructor at School in Norway 
and was Personal Friend of Henry Ibsen, Noted Dramatist. Was Father 
of A.M. Johnson of this City
Messages have been received by friends of the death at Hollywood, 
Cal., Sunday of Julius Johnson pioneer resident of this city and 
father of Andrew M. Johnson at the advanced age of 79 years. 
Funeral services will be held at Hollywood today and later the body 
will be brought to this city for interment. Mr. Johnson was one of 
the early day settlers of Manitowoc and resided here up to a few 
months ago when with his son he departed to take up his home in 
California. When he was 14 years old, Mr. Johnson left his native 
town, Grimstad, Norway to seek his fortune upon the high seas and 
after serving in the ? capacity he became captain of his ship and 
sailed many years between European and African ports leading the 
attendant adventurous life of the navigator of the earlier days. 
It was at Bergen, Norway where he learned the art of shipbuilding 
that he became acquainted with Henrik Ibsen, the great dramatist 
and poet, whose friendship had a lasting influence on his life. Mr. 
Johnson returned and spent several years as instructor of navigation 
in the schools of Grimstad where he met Harrelda M? (illegible) of 
Horten, Norway, whom he married and who in 1885 died at Manitowoc. 
The young married couple came to Manitowoc in the late sixties and 
immediately made their home at 909 Huron street, where with their 
many friends were received. During the early days Mr. Johnson sailed 
the Great Lakes and many of the old settlers will recall when as 
captain of the John Schuette he sailed in 1879 from Manitowoc to 
Gloucester, England, a venture which was then considered of some 
importance. 
In 1887 he was married to Regnild Gunderson who after a useful life, 
died in September, 1911. After Mr. Johnson left the sea life he 
became a shipbuilder and was later employed at the Burger shipyards. 
During the past ten years he has lived in retirement and in June last 
moved to California with his daughter, Mrs. Anna C. Johnson and son, 
Andrew M. Johnson, who survive him together with Mrs. James L. Moir 
and Morten S. Johnson of Chicago. It was his hopes that the climate 
of the west would amellorate the ills which accompanied his advancing 
years but as that failed he submitted to the divine edict and passed 
into the valley of the shadow of Death from whence no traveler returns.

BODY OF CAPT. JULIUS JOHNSON TO REACH CITY ON SATURDAY
Body to Be Taken to Frazier Chapel and Funeral Services will be 
Held Tuesday—Sailed First Schooner Across Ocean
The body of the late Capt. Julius Johnson, former resident whose death 
occurred at Hollingwood, Cal., will reach the city Saturday evening and 
funeral services will probably be held Tuesday. This message was received 
from Andrew M. Johnson, son of the deceased who will accompany the body 
here. The remains will be taken to the C. & H. Frazier chapel from which 
the funeral will be held. 
Capt. Johnson who was a resident of this city for many years was a veteran 
of the Crimean war and was one of the pioneer vessel captains of the lakes 
and sailed the ocean for many years. Capt. Johnson navigated the first ship 
which sailed from the Great Lakes direct to England. 
In 1877 Capt. Johnson commanded the schooner John Schuette which sailed from 
Green Bay to Gloucester, Eng., with products. It is said that this was the 
first boat which ever made the trip across the ocean from a lake port up to 
that time. During the civil war, in 1864, Capt. Johnson saw the Alabama sail 
out from Cherbourg and engage the Kearsage, his own ship ever heading nearer 
and nearer the conflict. The sailors manned the rigging and excitedly called 
to one another as the battle waxed and waned. Capt. Johnson, with his son, 
left here last December to locate in California.

M. P. JOHNSON

UNKNOWN MAN IS FOUND DEAD 
Cripple, Aged 70, is Found Mile South of City—Not Identified
Partly disrobed, on the ground in the rear of a barn owned by M. Korleski one 
mile south of the city, the body of an unknown man, aged and crippled, was 
found early this morning, the ghastly discovery being made by Anton Nielitz, 
who was employed in the vicinity. The man, apparently 70 years of age, has not 
been identified and the body will probably be buried at county expense. Death 
is believed to have been due to sudden attack of heart failure, there being no 
marks upon the body to indicate suicide or foul play.
From facts developed by the investigation of Dist. Atty. Kelley it is believed 
that the man was on his way to Chippewa to consult John Till, the healer, whose 
name has become familiar because of his troubles with the state medical board 
and this belief is strengthened by the face that the man had a ticket from this 
city to Madison. Neighbors say the man was about the vicinity Wednesday and made 
inquiry as to several persons, saying that he at one time resided in this county. 
He gave the name of Jarstadt, but cannot be identified as a member of the family 
of that name residing here. It is said that the man appeared to suffer considerable 
and the authorities believe that he may have died from an attack of appendicitis 
or stomach trouble. Two crutches were found with the body.
The body was brought to the city and is at the Frazier undertaking rooms where 
it will be held for identification, if possible. No inquest has yet been held but 
this may be held later, though it is not probable that it will be necessary. The 
dead man mentioned the name of the Lindholm family in his inquiries but members 
of the family have been unable to identify him.

Aged Dead Man Found Near City, is Poor Charge of That County
Kewaunee authorities have advised local officials that the aged man found dead

that county who has been missing for several days. The communication gives a 
description of the missing man, who was crippled and the dead man answers to 
this description. A Kewaunee official was here to identify the body and arranged 
for burial in this city, Kewaunee county paying the expense.
