ALBERT D. JOHNSTON

FORMER LOCAL MAN AUTO VICTIM
A.D. JOHNSTON MEETS DEATH AT WATERSMEET
Found Dead When Auto Leaves Road and Wrecked
Albert D. Johnston, former Manitowoc resident, familiarly known here as "Bert" 
Johnston, and a brother of Mrs. Robert Markham and Mrs. Clara Bressler, met 
death on the highway near Watersmeet, in the northern part of the state, yester-
day when his automobile left the road and was wrecked. Mr. Johnston's dead body 
was found in the car by occupants of another machine which witnessed tragedy.
Message carrying news of the accident were received here last evening and R.H. 
Markham and Mrs. Bressler departed for the north to take charge of the body and 
acompany (sic) it to this city for burial. They are expected to arrive tomorrow 
and funeral announcement will be made later.
Heart Attack Cause Death?
According to information received it is believed that Mr. Johnston was a victim 
of a heart stroke rather then injuries resulting when his car left the highway. 
Occupants of the other car, who were behind Mr. Johnston say that the Johnston 
machine was proceeding at a moderate rate when suddenly it seemed to waver on 
the road and suddenly left the highway. The car was damaged but Mr. Johnston did 
not appear to have been injured although when the scene was reached he was found 
to be dead at the wheel of his car.
Mr. Johnston was returning to his home at Sylvania where he was manager of a large 
resort. He had been on a trip to Watersmeet to accompany his daughter, Mrs. George 
Rupp and his children home after they had visited at Sylvania when the tragedy 
occurred. He was alone in the automobile at the time and whether death was due to 
heart failure or to some injury will not be determined until report of physicians 
is made.
Was Born in this City
A native of Manitowoc Mr. Johnston who was the son of Peter Johnston, first mayor 
of Manitowoc, was born here July 3, 1860 and up to thirty-five years ago made his 
home here. He removed from the city permanently at that time, although he was a 
frequent visitor here having been here about a year ago for a visit. He located at 
Bessemer, Mich., where he was prominent in civic affairs, having for twenty years 
been president of the Bessemer school board which honored him by naming a new school 
for him, the A.D. Johnston school erected in recent years. Mr. Johnston was also 
head of the Gogebic county highway commission and had taken an active part in public 
affairs of his adopted home. 
Leaves Widow and 3 Children
Mr. Johnston was married in 1885 at New Londaon to Miss Margaret Cannon, of that city, 
who with three children, Mrs. George Rupp, of Watersmeet, James Cannon Johnston, of 
Tulsa, Okla., and Miss Helen at home, survive him. There are six grandchildren and a 
brother Alex Johnston of San Diego, and two sisters Mrs. Markham and Mrs. Bressler, 
this city, also survive.
Thirty-five years ago Mr. Johnston was manager of the Williams House in this city, 
having conducted the hotel for two or three years at that time, just previous to 
leaving the city to locate at Besmer (sic).
Son Met Tragic Death
Mr. Johnston's death is the third in the family within two years. His son was killed 
two years ago in an accident and a sister died suddenly about the same time.
The body will be shipped to this city today or tomorrow and funeral services will be 
held here under the auspices of the Masonic order of which Mr. Johnston was a member.
News of the death of Mr. Johnston comes as a great shock to relatives and to many 
friends who remember him and who held him in high esteem.

PETER JOHNSTON    (d. 1904)

FIRST MAYOR OF CITY IS DEAD.
Peter Johnston, Pioneer City Executive, Responds to Final Summons on Earth.
CAME TO THE CITY IN 1855.
Served in Many Offices and was Loading Man of City..
On the day that his daughter, Mrs. Robert Markham, in this city, was celebrating 
the fifteenth anniversary of her marriage, Peter Johnston, first mayor of 
Manitowoc and most prominent of early day residents of the city, died Monday at 
the home of his son at Beaver Island, Mich., where he had been visiting. News of 
the death reached here in the evening and brought sorrow to many who had known 
him in life. Mr. Johnston was one of the pioneer residents of Manitowoc and left 
the city three weeks ago.
A native of Scotland, born near Edinburgh, Mr. Johnston came to Manitowoc in 1855 
and during his active life was one of the leading men of the city. In 1861, with 
James Hodges, Mr. Johnston purchased the north pier and owned it for many years 
throughout the war. In 1870, when the village incorporated, Mr. Johnston was 
chosen to head the city government, being elected as the first mayor over C. Hl. 
Smith, a democrat, carrying all of the four wards of the city. The next year he 
was reelected, defeating John Franz and under his administration the city took on 
a boom that resulted in many improvements. The Tenth street bridge was erected, 
cemetery improvements were made and the first fire engine was secured to the city. 
A bond issue was floated at this time. Mr. Johnston continued as the city’s 
executive until 1872, and four years later was elected to the legislature, being 
the assemblyman from the Third district. Mr. Johnston was prominent and an active 
leader in every movement that had the city’s advancement as its object and was 
treasurer of the Jones Library when it was first launched. In 1860 there was 
organized the “Burns” society, patriotic Scotchmen honoring their poet, and he was 
vice president of the society, which was maintained for years largely through his 
efforts. As mayor Mr. Johnston presided when the cornerstone of the Presbyterian 
church was laid and was identified with many other of the city’s first projects. 
Mr. Johnston was born at Dunblaine, Scotland, January 19, 1831 and was married to 
Clarissa Louise Boughton, Dec. 25, 1856, her death occurring in 1872. Four years 
later Mr. Johnston was again married to Mrs. Regina Hodges, who died in 1902.
Since retiring from active pursuits Mr. Johnston had made his home with his 
daughter Mrs. Robt. Markham and departed three weeks ago to visit in Michigan. 
Although advanced in age being 73, he had enjoyed good health and his demise was 
sudden and unexpected. Mr. Johnston was a man of strong character, and a leader 
who was recognized among men. So closely identified with the early history of the 
city, it was but natural that he should maintain a keen interest in latter day 
progress and he was ever absorbed in the welfare of the municipality. A family of 
children survive, being William, Beaver Island, Mich., Albert, Iron Mt., Mich., 
Peter B., Alaska, Mich., Alex, Idaho; Robert; Mrs. Alice Markham, this city; Mrs. 
G. Bressler, Arizona nad two step daughters, Mrs. W. A. Walker and Mrs. C.E. 
Estabrooke, Milwaukee. 
Manitowoc Daily Herald, October 4, 1904  P.1
********
Death on Mon. of former local resident Peter Johnston in Beaver Island, Michigan, 
where he was visiting his son who lives there. Mr. Johnston was born in 1831 in 
Scotland and came to Manitowoc in 1855 where he undertook several businesses. 
He was the first mayor of the City of Manitowoc to which he was elected in 1870, 
and also served several other offices. He is survived by 7 children and 2 
stepchildren.
The body was brought here and will be buried this afternoon.

Peter Johnston, son of Peter Johnson (sic), first mayor of Manitowoc when the

yesterday announcing his demise in that city. No details of the death are 
given. The body of Mr. Johnston will be brought to this city, arriving Monday

News of the death of Mr. Johnston came as a surprise and shock to friends and 
nothing is known of the circumstances as to whether death was due to illness 
or accident. Mr. Johnston had formerly been located in southern Oregon and 
could have been at Chico only a short time say members of the family.
Born and Reared Here
Mr. Johnston was born and reared in this city, attending the local schools. He 
engaged in farming in the town of Manitowoc up to the time he removed west about 
twenty-five years ago, since which time he had made his home in Oregon. He had 
visited the city on occasions but had never returned here to make his home.
Sisters Reside Here 
Mr. Johnston had never married and is survived by two sisters in this city, Mrs. 
Robert Markham and Mrs. Clara Bressler and two brothers, A.D. Johnston, of 
Bessemer and Alex Johnston of San Diego, Cal.
The body which will arrive Monday afternoon will be taken to the R.H. Markham 
home and the Rev. Symons of St. Paul’s M.E. church will conduct the funeral 
services Tuesday. Mr. Johnston is well remembered here by a large circle of 
friends who will be pained to learn of his death.

FRED JONAS

DEATH COMES TO FRED JONAS AT MISHICOT 
Pioneer Resident of the Co. and Father of Judge Jonas 
Fred Jonas, one of the most widely known and popular farmers in the county, 
died at the family home on the farm near Mishicot last night. Mr. Jonas had 
been ill for several months but his conditions did not become critical until 
about a week ago and while the end was not unexpected it came as a shock to 
relatives and friends. The funeral will be held from the home Sunday afternoon

seventy-one at his next birthday, May 4. He received his early education in 
the schools of the county and became greatly interested in the county 
educational movement, serving as member of the school board for many years 
and taking an active part in school affairs. His interest in the schools 
reflected in the fact that his sons and daughters took up teaching as a 
profession and one, Miss Esther Jonas, is now a member of the staff at the 
West Allis school.
Father of Chicago Jurist 
Forty-five years ago Mr. Jonas was married to Miss Augusta Paarman and the 
couple came to this city to live for a short time. Later they moved to Chicago 
but did not find the big city to their liking and after spending a short time 
there returned to the old homestead at Mishicot where they have since resided.

the occasion being made a sort of community celebration in which hundreds of 
friends and neighbors took part.

Quietly stealing away to Milwaukee, procuring a special dispensation and then 
as quietly wed, are the incidents in connection with a ceremony which on 
Tuesday united Miss Elizabeth Rosinsky and Hugo Jonas both of this city, for 
weal or woe through life. No intimation of the intentions of the couple were 
given and although the marriage was a foregone conclusion, friends of the

returned to the city on the same day that the marriage was celebrated, and 
told of the event to a group of acquaintances.

and returned to this city with it after the week at Camp Moore. He is a salesman 
in the employ of the O. Torrison company and securing an extension of his vacation

of the Torrison store being sufficient to make him many friends both in a business 
and social way.

PRETTY WEDDING A SOCIETY EVENT
Higgins-Jones Nuptials Attended by Party of One Hundred Guests
FUNCTION IS ELABORATE
Many Out of Town Guests at Wedding on New Year's Day – Couple to Reside in the South
Nature smiled serenely and gave its choicest favor – a perfect day – to bless the 
union of Miss Aimee, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Higgins to George Jones and 
the marriage, the holiday season's social event, was attended by nuptial festivities 
of an unusually charming and interesting nature. The wedding was celebrated at the 
Higgins's home on North Tenth Street Wednesday evening at 6:30 o'clock in the presence 
of 100 guests, midst surroundings of beauty and in perfect appointment.
The pretty and impressive ring service of the Episcopal ritual was used in the ceremony 
at which Rev. B. Talbot Rogers of Fond du Lac, officiated. Prof. Joseph Kaiser presided 
at the piano and the bridal party entered to the music of Mendelsohn's wedding march and 
was received in an alcove of the large living room where the service was read. Ferns and 
plants surrounded the improvised altar place while from the ceiling directly overhead 
the bride and groom swung a pure white dove, the effect being very pretty.
Promptly at the appointed hour, the bridal procession wended its way to the altar, the 
bride and attendants entering down the winding stairway, proceeded by Misses Helen Hunt 
of Neenah and Dorrance Harwood of Lincoln, Neb., each bearing the end of a long streamer 
of ribbon, the other ends of which were gathered up by Misses Helen Higgins and Grace 
Pritchard as the party proceeded and finally formed a semi-circle about the bride and 
groom as they took their station facing the clergyman. The bride, upon the arm of her 
father, was preceded by little Miss Geraldine Higgins as ring bearer and Miss Higgins, 
maid of honor. The bride's party was met at the entrance to the room by the groom, 
attended by his groomsman, Ted Jones, a brother.
In decoration of the spacious home a profusion of cut flowers and smilax made an admirable 
effect while holly wreaths and clusters lent a holiday air to the surroundings. The color 
schemes were elegant and in short formed an exquisite setting for the nuptials. Handsome 
gowns of the ladies in evening dress gave the function added tone. The handsome gowns of 
the wedding party gave an added beauty to the pretty function. The bride was gowned in 
white satin trimmed with Princess lace carrying a shower bouquet of lilies of the valley 
while her maid of honor wore a creation of pink chiffon and messaline and carried bouquet 
of pink sweet peas and ferns. The Misses Hung, Harwood, Higgins and Pritchard wore green 
radium silk and little Miss Geraldine Higgins was attired in white. Mrs. Higgins wore a 
costume of grey crepe trimmed with real lace and Mrs. Jones a black velvet gown trimmed 
with point lace.
Miss Higgins is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Higgins who, for the last five years 
have resided in this city coming here from Neenah when Mr. Higgins projected the Traction 
Line. She was born and reared in Neenah where she received her early education. Her studies 
were concluded at Ferry Hill, Lake Forest. A charming girl in every way, she has the unusual 
faculty of making and retaining friends that makes her a favorite in any circle she may be 
called upon to grace. She has at all times reflected the graces of a sweet disposition, 
vivacity of temperment and charming personality, rounding out her life into one of symmetry 
and lovliness that will no doubt be equally appreciated in her Southern home as it has been 
in the city.
Mr. Jones is a son of Mrs. Frank Jones, who was born here and who is so well known as a 
young man of sterling worth as to need no further tribute of character. He graduated from 
the North side High School and attended the University of Wisconsin where he attained 
distinction on the athletic field and as a student. As a member of several fraternities 
he participated in the social life of the school in no small degree. In addition to other 
honors he is a Knight Templar Mason and at the time of his admission into the order was 
the youngest ever to have attained this distinction. Of late he has been engaged in the 
lumber business of Forest City, Ark., where he is recognized for his business ability and 
stability of character. It is in this place that he has erected a pretty home for his 
bride and there is an expressed regret that these business connections in the southern 
state will take away one of the most popular newly wedded couples of Manitowoc.
Mr. Jones and bride departed from the city at 10 o'clock via Appleton Jct., for Chicago 
and will visit St. Louis, Memphis and other points before going to Forest City, Ark., 
which will be the future home of the couple who will be home after February 1.
Guests from out of town at the wedding were: Mr. and Mrs. G.W. Jones, Mr. and Mrs. H.C. 
Humphrey, Mr. and Mrs. R.H. Jones, John Schlosser, Miss Helen Humphrey, Appleton; Dr. 
and Mrs. H.L. Banzhaf, Milwaukee, Mr. and Mrs. Phil Gaffney, Mr. and Mrs. Lew Oborn, Dr.

********
FRANK P. JONES IS MOURNED
A Good Citizen and Fine Neighbor is no More.
SOME TRAITS OF HIS CHARACTER.
Being Essentially a Benevolent Man he did Much Good.
ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THE UNDERDOG.
His Funeral was Attended by a Great Concourse of People Who Testified to Widespread Sorrow.
By the death of Frank P. Jones the community lost one of it most estimable men. 
When the news reached this city that he had suddenly expired while out driving 
near Unity, a sense of deep bereavement took possession of the hearts of men, 
women and children, for no one who had ever looked into the kindly eye of the 
man now sleeping in his final couch but was attracted and attached to him. Frank 
Jones had a big heart, which beat in generous sympathy for those less fortunate 
than himself, and it seemed a passion with him to put some young fellow on the 
road of life where his energy could be used profitably. It is not once but many 
times that he drew aside some boy of slender means, who had ambition, and while 
engaging him in conversation would find out just the bent of his hopes and being 
assured of their genuineness he provided the ways and means for his education. 
Quite a few of his protégés, some yet the subjects of his benefactions, while 
others had graduated into prosperous business and professional men, stood over his 
bier on Sunday and wept. They had lost a friend indeed who had stood by them, strong 
and helpful, when lowering clouds of adverse circumstances menaced their nature, 
and they can now sing with Tennyson.
Dear friend far off, my lost desire
So far, we near in woe and weal
O loved thee most, when most I feel
There is a lower and a higher;
Known and unknown, human, divine;
Sweet human hand and lips and eye;
Dear heavenly friend that canst not die
Mine, Mine, for ever, ever mine.
Strange friend, past, present and to be,
Loved deeplier, darklier understood.
Behold I dream a dram of good
And mingle all the world with thee.
Benevolence was the most striking characteristic in the life of Mr. Jones. Not that 
charity which vaunteth much and then panoplys itself in glaring venture so all the 
world may know. His kindliness was as unobstructive as it was beautiful. He had been 
known to repeatedly hunt out some waif and taking him to a clothier dress him in warm 
clothes, but the good impulse didn’t stop here; he would search out the gamin’s home, 
and frequently has he entered the squalid and rickety habitation there to minister in 
substantial manner to the wants of the impoverished. And the beauty of these deeds 
of kindness was that his left hand didn’t know what his right was doing. And moreover 
this spirit of splendid benevolence sought activity in other directions. He was 
ceaselessly looking out for the pleasure of his friends. It was not in him to take 
the lion’s share of sport if others were about; he was happiest if those near him 
were living in the sunshine and drawing sweetness into the hours as they came and 
departed. Ed. Hamilton tells an apropos story illustrating this trait: Frank Jones 
and Mr. Hamilton went fishing some three weeks ago. They had had their lines out for 
several hours with indifferent lunch, but Frank was cheery and hopeful all the time, 
making the moments fly by his jovial remarks. When least expected a big fish made a 
bite at Frank’s bait and he was instantly busy playing him. While moving his rod to 
and fro, Mr. Hamilton says Frank would frequently exclaim, “Ed, I wish the fish had 
bitten at your bait instead of mine.” It was this same spirit of self abengatio in 
social life that made him welcome wherever he went; he always sacrificed his own that 
some one else’s pleasure might be increased.
It is so often that men like to look upon the worst side of their fellow men. They ever 
probe for the dark strata and ignore every good attribute; not so, however, with Frank 
Jones. He always saw the best in men. It has often been said to Mr. Jones, “So and So 
is no good,” and then would follow a tissue of the man’s bad qualities. The kindly man 
would listen attentively and when his time came to reply, he would say, “So and So is 
also”, here telling the fellow’s good traits. In his fifty-five years of life he was 
never known to say an evil word of a neighbor, a workman, or of anybody. It was always 
the other way. Mr. Hamilton said he could not recall of a single instance in which he 
had spoken ill of his fellow man. And this is the testimony of those who knew him 
intimately during his life.
It was only last Saturday three men were on the train coming up from Milwaukee to 
Manitowoc. Mr. Jones was the subject of comments and stories were told relating to 
him. One of the three mentioned that Mr. Jones had assisted young men to procure 
educations which fitted them for professional life. Soon after the statement was made, 
one of the listeners withdrew his cigar from his lips and slowly blowing away the smoke 
fell into a reminiscent mood. Looking up shortly afterwards he began: “It is all of 
ten years ago, perhaps a little more, that I was seated at a desk struggling to learn 
the typewriter. I had already got three sheets printed when Frank walked up to where 
I was sitting and said, 'Charlie, did you print these?’  I replied in the affirmative. 
'Well,' said he, ‘you should learn shorthand.’ And shorthand I studied and I will always 
remember that Frank made it possible for me to acquire this accomplishment.”
These instances might be multiplied a great many times.
That death came without warning and painless was a fitting climax as a reward for his 
unselfish career. On last Friday morning, accompanied by three men he drove form Unity, 
a distance of about nine miles. The evening previous rain had fallen, and the morning 
was cool and delicious. The green fields and wooded groves through which they passed 
were fresh and beautiful and birds sang their sweetest. Mr. Jones was passionately 
fond of the country; the lakes and dells, the green sward, the leafy bower, the sighing 
rivulet or towering peak, but he drew peculiar charm from the presence of birds and 
particularly blue birds. And let it be said that no lurking evil finds lodgment in the 
souls of men whose inner impulses respond harmoniously to the song of a bird, the 
presence of a flower, or the sound of music. While on the way Mr. Jones turned to his 
companion, Mr. Booth, and pointed out a blue bird, remarking how fond he was of them. 
“I shall count the number we meet", he said, and he proceeded to do so. All the way 
out he was chatty and buoyant, and when nearing his destination, passing a big lumber 
pile, he asked Mr. Booth as to the ownership of the lumber and Mr. Booth looked athwart 
for a moment and before he could reply Mr. Jones had passed to “that bourne from whence 
no traveler returns.” There amid the fields he loved with the birds chanting their 
psalms the man whom Manitowoc mourns, fell into his last slumber.
The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon, Dr. Pritchard and Geo. Cooper having charge 
of the services at the house. The Rev. Mr. Gray, as chaplain of the Masonic chapter, 
conducted the religious rites, and the masons, with Dr. H.L. Banzhaf as master, had 
charge of the ceremonies at the grave. The doctor officiated at the beautiful service 
with dignity and impressiveness. The six active pall bearers were: Oscar Alter, E.G. 
Nash, W.A. Walker, Dr. G. W. Patchen, R H. Markham, and Dr. Fraser. The honorary pall 
bearers were M. H. Murphy, A.C. Miller, Rhinehardt Rahr, L.J. Nash, Frank Canright, 
and C.F. Smalley.
During the service at the house, William L. Davis sang a solo to the accompaniment of 
Miss Mollie Hall. In the procession from the house to the cemetery fully one hundred 
carriages were in line, each of the occupants testifying by his presence his sorrow. 
Among those who were here from out of town to attend the funeral were: T.C. and Mrs. 
Shove, H. Humphrey, of Milwaukee; George Jones, of Appleton, J.E. Hamilton, of Two 
Rivers, Henry Thomas, of Fox Lake, and Griffin Thomas, of Columbus Junction, Iowa, 
and Roy Jones, of Appleton, George and Miss Grace Hamilton, of Two Rivers, W.A. Walker, 
of Milwaukee, Clarence Hill and Dr. G. E. Henry, of Port Washington, Mr. and Mrs. J.C. 
Borcherdt, of Chicago, Miss Florence Nelson, of Madison, W. Harpin, of Grand Rapids, 
Wis., Mrs. Tom Jones, of Minneapolis, Mr. Phillips, of Chicago, Mr. Both and Mr. Boynton,

of Appleton, Miss Jones, of Appleton, B.C. and Mrs. Shove and son of Ironwood, Mich., 
and Miss Pleasants, of Menasha.
It was noticed that the boys belonging to the Northside Athletic association had hauled 
the flag half mast over the school house as a tribute to the memory of Mr. Jones. 
Frequently the association was the recipient of his bounty.
Mr. Jones left his wife and two sons to mourne his loss and they are bereft of a good 
father and husband.

DEATH OF FRANK P. JONES 
Manitowoc lost a good citizen when Frank P. Jones died. In him there was no guile. He 
exemplified in a noble way those moral attributes which differentiate the man of superior 
impulse from the selfish and the sordid. His point of life was benevolence of thought 
and action and within the jurisdiction of these holy impulses he embraced the men and 
women of his own station as well as the proletariat. He was equally courteous to the 
man who had an income of $50,000 a year and the man who sweeps the street crossing. He 
saw beyond the wretched rags the soul and seeing beheld the impress of Immortality.
While Mr. Jones made no pretense of his charity and few knew how kindly his manifold acts 
were, yet can it be said in very truth of him, “For I was hungered, and ye gave me meat; 
I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in; Naked and ye 
clothed me; I was sick and ye visited me; I was in prison and ye visited me. It was the 
gospel of his life to search out the under dog and be his protector.
The life of this community is better because he lived here, and men who survive him will 
take encouragement from his career and emulate his unselfishness.
Frank Jones is happy in his death; he lived so well that men miss him and sorrow after 
him. It is not the privilege of persons generally that at their death to be widely deplored, 
but some men and women so widely influence the community by their individual traits of 
character that a deep void is made when the grave marks the line of demarcation, and this 
community can at least say of him:
His life was gentle and the elements
So mixed in him that Nature might stand up
And say to all the world this was a man.

TED JONES WAS IN WEST HOTEL FIRE
Escaped from Seventh Floor of Burning Building with Broken Toe and Cut Hand
Ted Jones of this city, son of Mrs. F.P. Jones, was a guest of the West Hotel 
in Minneapolis Wednesday morning when the structure was afire, but escaped with 
slight injuries consisting of a broken bone in the toe and cuts in his hands, 
resulting from contact with a glass when he was making his way from the burning 
building. In a letter to his mother, Mr. Jones says his injuries are not 
serious.
Mr. Jones, who is traveling for the Jones Lumber Co. of Appleton, occupied a 
room on the seventh floor of the hotel and at the time of the fire, early in the 
morning, was dressing, preparatory to leaving his room. He hastily made his way 
into the hall which was filled with smoke to such an extent that Jones failed to 
discover a flight of stairs that led from the hall immediately next to his room. 
A physician who occupied the room adjoining that of Mr. Jones accompanied the 
Manitowoc boy in his flight to escape from the house and the two climbed down 
the fire escape together. The two reached the fire escape after some time in 
which they were unable to locate the escape. That Mr. Jones had a narrow escape 
is attested by the fact that a woman who occupied a room directly across the hall 
from him was one of the ten to lose her life in the fire Her escape cut off, 
bewildered and frightened, the woman leaped from the window of the room to instant 
death on the pavement below. Mr. Jones says the scene at the fire was one that 
will remain with him for years.

WALLACE B. JONES

DIED:
At his residence in this place on the evening of the 11th inst., of typhoid fever, 
Mr. Wallace B. Jones in the 29th year of his age.
-Mr. Jones was born in this town when the place was first settled. He lived here 
till he was four years of age when his father's family removed to Chicago, from 
which place they returned in 1854, and Mr. J. was a resident here up to the time 
of his death. He was a son of Benjamin Jones, our well known fellow citizen and 
was a member of the firm of A.D. Jones & Brother, lumber manufacturers. He has 
been identified with the business interests of the place so long that his absence 
will be widely felt, more especially as he had hosts of warm personal friends. His 
disposition was mild and quiet, and he was generous to a fault. He was a loving 
husband and kind father. Few, in any community, were better like. It is but a few 
days since we saw him engaged in his regular avocations and we did not think but 
what his chances were for long life and usefulness, but alas, who can tell what 
the future has in store for us or our friends!
The funeral took place yesterday at two o'clock. A Lodge of Free Masons of which 
the deceased was a member in good standing, attended in a body, and buried their 
brother according to the rites of the mystic order.
The high esteem and respect of our citizens for the deceased was amply shown by the 
concourse that assembled at the Episcopal Church, to listen to a funeral sermon by 
Rev. T.B. Dooley, and by the large procession that followed his remains to their 
last resting place.
Mr. Jones leaves a wife and one child. May it comfort them in their sore bereavement 
to know that he was loved and honored by our citizens.

ACCIDENT ON STR. PONTIAC MAY END IN VICTIM'S DEATH
Fred Jorgenson(sic) Falls 20 Feet and is Crushed Under Heavy Steel Plate from Boiler of the Boat
INJURIES SERIOUS AND AGE OF MAN INJURED CHANCES
Fred Jorgenson, aged 62, is at the hospital in critical condition, with 
chances against his recovery, as the result of injuries which he sustained 
in an accident aboard the steamer, Pontiac, at the Dry Docks Co. yards late 
Friday afternoon while engaged in work on that boat. Jorgenson's age and 
the nature of his injuries give little hope that he can survive.
Jorgenson was at work on the Pontiac which is receiving new boilers and was 
at work on a steel platform which runs above the boiler and which was to be 
removed. In some unaccountable manner, Jorgenson loosened the platform and 
was thrown downward, the heavy steel plate falling on top of him. The distance 
which Jorgenson fell is estimated at twenty feet and the platform struck him 
squarely as he lay prostrate on the floor. Fellow employes who rushed to the 
aid of Jorgenson found the man unconscious in the hold, apparently suffering 
from severe injuries and he was removed to the hospital. Examination developed 
that Jorgenson had sustained serious internal hurts and that his spine had been 
injured. His lower jaw is fractured and his head and face is badly cut and 
battered. Owing to the advanced age of Mr. Jorgenson, there is much apprehension 
that he will not survive his injuries, chances being against his recovery.
Mr. Jorgenson is a rigger and had been employed at the shipyards and on the boats 
for years. When the work on the Pontiac started, Jorgenson was told to assist 
in removing the old boilers and was at this work when the accident befell him. 
Jorgenson is a resident of the north side, his home being at 618 North Fifth 
Street. He is married and the father of a family. While there is a chance that 
he may survive his injuries, his condition is such that little hope is held out.

CASE HEARD HERE BY INDUSTRIAL BOARD IS SETTLED, $1260 PAID
Insurance Company Pay Widow of Late Fred Jorgensen for Death of 
Husband who Died Year after Injury at Shipyards Plant
Settlement has been made by insurance companies carrying risks of 
the Manitowoc-Shipbuilding company on the claim for compensation 
filed by Mrs. F. Jorgensen against the companies for death of her 
husband, hearing in which was held by the Industrial commission 
here last week. Mrs. Jorgensen is to receive $1,260 in addition to 
payments previously made, said to have covered a considerable amount 
as 65 percent of wages of Mr. Jorgensen while he was disabled. 
The case presented some rather unusual features, Jorgensen, who was 
employed by the local shipyards for years, was injured in 1914 by 
falling from the top of a boiler on which he was at work and suffered 
injuries that laid him up several months. He recovered however and 
was able to return to his work (illegible)…was taken ill, his death 
being due to stomach trouble, it was said. Physicians claimed that 
the death of Mr. Jorgensen could be traced back to the injuries he 
had sustained which had made his condition susceptible to the fatal 
attack and hurried his death. After testimony had been taken at the 
hearing of the Industrial commission last week, an agreement was made 
for settlement on the basis of $1260 which was approved by the 
commission and paid to the family. 
Mr. Jorgensen was one of the pioneer ship carpenters of the city and 
had been employed at the local yards for many years. A previous payment 
of $563 had been made by the company to the family and compensation 
payments made bring the total to about $3200 for the death of Mr. 
Jorgensen. It is said Markham and Markham represented Mrs. Jorgensen.

THEODORE JORSCH

Another of our county's pioneers is gone. Theodor Jorsch, 
one of the best known residents of our city, died Mon. morning 
of Bright's disease. He was ill for several years, but has only 
been bedridden for the last 10 days. Theodor Jorsch was born 
1839 in Luxemburg, thus reaching the age of 65. When he was six 
his parents came to America and settled in Town Newton, then a 
wilderness. Here the boy enjoyed all the joys and pressures of 
pioneer life. When he was older and strong enough he learned wagon 
making, then carpentry and helped the farmers in Town Newton and 
the adjoining towns to build their homes. At the outbreak of the 
Civil War he joined the 14th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment and served 
2 yrs. in Company G until he was severely wounded in the hip during 
the battle of Pittsburg Landing. When healed, he had to be mustered 
out. Upon returning here he got into port construction and worked on 
the harbors of Manitowoc, Chicago, Ashland, etc., until he had to 
give up his work because of kidney disease. Mr. Jorsch was twice 
married. His first was Rosalie Liebert whom he married in 1865 and 
who died in 1900, leaving him with 5 children, namely, Mrs. J.C. Rehm 
in Ashland, Mrs. Frank Heffermann here, Oscar in South Chicago, Theodor 
in Chicago, and Arthur in Alabama. He later married the widow Mrs. 
Krumheuer, who survives him. His heavily attended funeral was conducted 
yesterday under the direction of the local Post of the G.A.R., and the 
German Odd Fellows Lodge, to both of which he belonged.

Theodore Jorsch, age 65, died at his home on North Ninth Street Monday morning at 4 o'clock. He had been ailing for about a year with Bright's disease and had been to Chicago to get the benefit of a specialist's treatment. He had, however, been confined to his bed for about a week only.
Mr. Jorsch was born in the grand duchy of Luxemburg, Germany. He came to this country with his parents when he was six years of age. The family settled in the town of Newton on a farm. Here Mr. Jorsch lived until the war broke out, when he enlisted in Co. G., 14th Regiment, Wis. Vol. He was wounded at the battle of Pittsburgh Landing. In 1865 right after his discharge he married Rosa Liebert of Chicago. The young couple lived in that city for few years and then moved to Manitowoc. In 1900 Mrs. Jorsch died and two years latter Mr. Jorsch married Mrs. Johanna Krummheier who survives him. He leaves the following children: Oscar, of South Chicago; Theodore, Jr., of Chicago; Arthur of Alabama; Mrs. John Roehm of Ashland; Mrs. Frank Heffernon of this city.

JOHN JUST

TWO SUDDEN DEATHS IN FEW HOURS IN FAMILY 
Death of Mrs. Just, Jr., Followed By That of Husband’s Father. 
Tragedy struck over the John Just farm at King’s Bridge yesterday 
and left two dead in its trail, both deaths being sudden and due to 
the same cause – heart failure. Within a few hours, John Just, Jr., 
was called upon to realize the uncertainty of life and futility of 
human happiness by the death of his wife, Mrs. Clara Just, and his 
father, John Just, Sr. The two deaths occurred within five hours of 
each other and it was Mr. Just’s lot to find the cold bodies of each 
after death had left its imprint. 
Mrs. Just, Jr., was stricken suddenly yesterday morning while attending 
to some household duties in the basement at the home, the body being 
found by the husband when he returned to the house to make inquiry why 
his wife had not joined him in the milking. A few hours later and while 
undertakers were caring for the body of Mrs. Just, children who had been 
sent in search of Mr. Just’s father who had left the house on an errand, 
found the body of the aged man a short distance from the house, he too 
having been stricken suddenly. 
Family Gathering Held Sunday
The tragedy came in the wake of a happy celebration of the 35th birthday 
anniversary of Mrs. Just. Mr. and Mrs. John Just, Sr., parents of Mr. 
Just, who reside in this city on North Nineteenth Street, attended the 
anniversary which was in the nature of a family reunion, and the father 
had decided to remain at King’s Bridge for the week, the mother having 
returned to this city Sunday. The shock of the death of her husband and 
daughter-in-law has prostrated Mrs. Just who today is reported seriously 
ill.
Both Deaths Unexpected
Both deaths came unexpectedly. Mrs. Just, Jr., was apparently in her usual 
health Monday and Tuesday morning when she arose and was cheerful and 
happy about the house. Her failure to join her husband in the milking led 
him to return to the house to make the terrible discovery. He immediately 
summoned physicians from Mishicot but Mrs. Just was beyond aid.
Mr. Just, Sr., was seated on the porch of the home when he was told of the 
demise of his daughter-in-law and was visibly affected by the news. He said 
that he would take a walk out on the farm and when he failed to return for 
the noonday meal, search was made for him and the body was found lying on 
the “sward” a short distance from the house. Mr. Just had evidently 
succumbed to the shock of the earlier tragedy. 
Mrs. Just Mishicot Girl
Mrs. Just, whose untimely death came as a great shock to the family and 
friends, was a former Mishicot girl, having been Clara Stueck of that 
village previous to her marriage. She was born in the Town of Gibson July 9, 
1888, and was married to Mr. Just twelve years ago. Mrs. Just’s father and 
the mother both preceded her in death and in similar manner to that of her 
own, her father having been stricken by heart failure only a few months ago. 
Besides her husband, she is survived by a little daughter, aged four, and 
two sisters, Mrs. Norman Wilson of Jumbo Creek, and Mrs. Grover Kadow of 
Mishicot, and four brothers, John, Louis, Carl and William Stueck, all of 
Mishicot. 
Mr. Just, Sr., Pioneer of Co. 
John Just, Sr., was a pioneer of Manitowoc County and had been a resident 
of this city for 13 years. He was born in Germany 82 years ago and came to 
Manitowoc County in young manhood. For forty-five years, he made his home 
on the farm at King’s Bridge where death overtook him and in 1910, removed 
with his wife to this city, the couple making their home on North Nineteenth 
Street and living in retirement. Besides his aged wife, he is survived by 
two sons, Louis of this city and John, Jr., on the old homestead, and by two 
daughters, Mrs. Louis Stueck of Mishicot, and Mrs. Meta Krueger of Downers 
Grove, Ill. 
Burials at Mishicot and This City
The funeral of Mrs. Just, Jr., will be held Thursday afternoon at Mishicot, 
the funeral party leaving the Just home at King’s Bridge at 1:30 and Rev. 
Zell of Mishicot officiating at English services. 
Immediately following the funeral at Mishicot, the party will return to King’s 
Bridge and the body of Mr. Just, Sr., will be brought to this city to the home 
on North Nineteeth Street where funeral services will be held from the home and 
the German Lutheran Church Friday afternoon, the Rev. Machmiller officiating.

Ill since December, Mildred, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Juul, died at the 
family home, 1213 South Tenth street last night, aged 20 years. Death was due

being employed at the office of the Aluminum Goods company, but was forced to 
give up her position because of illness. When her little sister, Dolores, was

life was despaired of Miss Juul submitted to an operation for skin grafting and 
her sister was saved. 
Miss Juul is survived by her parents and one sister, Dolores, and a brother, 
Clifford. She was a popular girl and her death will be deeply felt by a large 
circle of young friends.
