Most of the product of the works was shipped to plumbing supply houses in the 
east.

congregation. He was a director of the Manitowoc Evening Times, when that daily 
was published and at present was a director of the Manitowoc Memorial Hospital.

ALMA M. KAZDA    (d. 1992)

TRAIN CRASHES INTO AUTO, ONE DEATH MAY RESULT 
Mrs. Joseph Kazda Probably Fatally Injured in Accident at 
Plank Road Crossing of North Western
One death may be the toll of an accident at the Green Bay Northwestern 
crossing on the Plank Road west of the fair grounds at 6 o’clock last 
night when the Green Bay train, due here at 5:45 struck a Ford touring 
car, hurled it thirty feet to the side of the track. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph 
Kazda, 2002 Hamilton street, this city, occupants of the automobile, 
were seriously injured and it is feared that Mrs. Kazda may not survive. 
Both are at the hospital. Mrs. Kazda, who was the most seriously injured, 
was soon to have become a mother and shortly after arrival at the hospital 
her babe was born dead. Mrs. Kazda suffered the fracture of bones of the 
right arm at several places, was bruised about the body and sustained 
internal injuries of serious nature which cause apprehension and make her 
recovery doubtful. Injuries of Mr. Kazda include a deep gash cut over the 
eye from broken glass of the windshield against which he was thrown and 
was severely bruised about the body, but escaped broken bones. Mr. Kazda’s 
condition is not serious and he will be able to leave the hospital in a 
day or two. The accident happened shortly before 6 o’clock while Mr. and 
Mrs. Kazda were enroute to Francis Creek, former home of Mr. Kazda. The 
crossing is not considered a dangerous one, affording a clear view of the 
tracks in both directions. It is thought that Mr. and Mrs. Kazda were 
interested in their conversation and that Kazda was paying little heed 
to the crossing and did not see the train until too late to stop his car. 
The automobile was directly across the tracks when struck by the train 
which was in charge of Conductor G.M. Williams and Engineer Gary. The 
engine struck the automobile, crushed the rear of the machine and lifted 
it from the tracks and threw it a distance of thirty to fifty feet. Mr. 
and Mrs. Kazda was thrown from the automobile and was found unconscious 
at the side of the track when the train was stopped and backed to the 
point where the wrecked machine was thrown. Dr. Max Staehle, of this city, 
who was a passenger on the train, returning from a trip to Wausau, was 
summoned and gave first aid to the injured man and woman who were taken 
aboard the train and brought to the Northwestern station and later removed 
to the hospital in the ambulance. Engineer Gary, who was one the opposite 
side of the engine cab from that on which the automobile was approaching 
the crossing, could not see the Kazda machine and the first knowledge he 
had of the automobile was when the engine crashed into the machine. The 
train at this point runs at a good rate of speed and when it struck the 
automobile the crash was terrific. The rear end of the automobile was 
completely smashed and every spoke of the two rear wheels was knocked out 
only the rims being left. The tires of the four wheels were not damaged but 
the body of the machine was completely wrecked. Mr. and Mrs. Kazda have been 
residents of the city for some months, the husband being employed as a 
blacksmith at the yards of the Shipbuilding Company. Mrs. Kazda is a former 
Bonduel girl and both husband and wife are about 25 years of age and married 
only a year. Kazda’s home was formerly at Francis Creek. Mr. Kazda is an 
experienced driver having driven an automobile for five years. Mr. Kazda 
was unable to make a statement as to the accident today. Reports from the 
hospital this afternoon said that the condition of Mrs. Kazda is critical, 
but there is some hope of recovery.

JOHN KAZDA

Insane Man Suicides
John Kazda -illegible-the Superintendent and then Hangs Himself
Manitowoc, Wis. Jan. 2 - Kohn Kazda, an inmate of the county asylum became 
violent yesterday afternoon and before he could be overpowered gave Supt. 
Mueller a deep cut in the arm with a knife. Shortly after being placed in 
his cell, Kazda committed suicide by hanging himself with the belt of a 
sewing machine. He was formerly a well-known tailor in this city and a 
powerful man.
Milwaukee Weekly Wisconsin, Sat., Jan. 9, 1897 page 5
********
A tragedy occurred at the county asylum in this city on Friday evening. John Kazda, 
an insane man was playing cards with Supt. Mueller. Kazda was in bad humor through 
the day and grew angry at the result of the game. He went to his room in which he 
had a sort of tailor shop and threw the things out in the hall. Supt. Mueller 
remonstrated with him when Kazda struck at him. Mr. Mueller was not aware at first 
that Kazda had a knife but after receiving a second blow on the arm felt a stinging 
sensation. He grappled with Kazda and assistance coming, the insane man was subdued, 
shackled and put in his room. Soon after an attendant went to the room and found 
Kazda seated on the floor near an iron railing which encircled the stove. A closer 
examination showed that the man was dead. He had taken the band off the sewing 
machine, attached it to the iron railing around the stove and strangled himself. It 
showed desperate resolution as continued effort to accomplish his purpose was 
necessary.
Kazda was a powerful man of a morose disposition even before he became insane. Last 
year he was found floating in the river but was rescued.
The first blow he struck at Mr. Mueller was aimed at the heart. Fortunately two note 
books were in Mr. Mueller’s pocket. The knife penetrated one of these and dented the 
cover of the second. The second blow struck the arm and cut one of the arteries. The 
knife used was an ordinary jackknife.

An old man named Kazda, whose home has long been in Manitowoc and whose trade 
was that of a tailor but who has of late been an inmate of the county Insane Asylum, 
attempted suicide by drowning last Sunday but was prevented by someone in a boat 
who saw him leap off the railroad bridge into the water.

WALTER KAZDA

WALTER A. KAZDA DEAD 
FUNERAL WILL BE TOMORROW FROM TEMPLE 
Former Alderman Prominent as Cashier of Bank 
DEATH ON SATURDAY 
Masons, Aldermen Will Assist With Funeral Arrangements.
While an entire community mourned the death of Walter A. Kazda today, arrangements 
were being made for his funeral, which will be held on Tuesday.
Death came to Mr. Kazda, alderman from the fourth ward for the last 16 years, at 
the Holy Family hospital Saturday at 4:45 p.m. It occurred after an illness which 
resulted from a collapse on Jan. 3, at Milwaukee while the Kazda family was enroute 
to the south where Mr. Kazda had intended to take a rest and recuperate.
Funeral Tuesday 
Funeral services will be held on Tuesday at 2:00 o’clock at the Masonic temple. 
Burial will be at Evergreen cemetery.
Walter A. Kazda was born in the family home at Ninth and Park streets in the fourth 
ward on Jan. 20, 1889, and was 42 at his last birthday. He attended the old Second 
Ward school and after leaving his studies became identified with the Smalley 
Manufacturing company where he rose to the position of head bookkeeper. Later he 
engaged in the automobile business and seven years ago accepted the position of 
assistant cashier at the First National bank. He continued in that service until 
his death.
Served Continuously
Sixteen years ago, in 1915, he was elected to represent the fourth ward on the city 
council and had served as alderman of his ward continuously. Illness forced his 
retirement at the spring election this year when he withdrew as a candidate for 
reelection. During his many years he served three terms as president of the council, 
served as a member of all of the important committees and was for many years either 
chairman or a member of the committee on finance.
Fraternally Mr. Kazda was a member of the Masonic organization, being a member of 
the local Blue lodge, Chapter and Commandery, and the Wisconsin Consistory and Tripoli 
Shrine. He was also a member of the local Nights of Pythias lodge and for many years 
was active in these organizations.
July 21, 1908, he was married to Miss Fern McAllister, formerly of…
(Continued on Page 2) FUNERAL WILL BE TOMORROW FROM TEMPLE (Continued from Page 1) 
…Brillion, at St. Joseph, Mich., and the couple returned to this city to take up 
their home in the fourth ward. One son, Ellery, was born to them.
His Survivors 
Surviving Mr. Kazda are the widow; the son, Ellery; his father, Anton Kazda, now 84; 
and two sisters, Mrs. William Wondraska of Milwaukee and Mrs. John Pasewalk of this 
city. Mr. and Mrs. Wondraska have been here for some weeks.
The funeral tomorrow will be held from the Masonic temple with a Christian Science 
service at the temple and the Masons taking charge at the grave. The service will be 
in charge of Manitowoc Lodge NO. 65, F. & A.M. with the Manitowoc Commandery acting 
as escort. Burial will be at Evergreen.
The body will be at the Frazier mortuary until 10:00 a.m. Tuesday when it will be 
taken to the temple. 
Flags at Halfmast
Flags on all municipal buildings flew at half mast today as a mark of respect to the 
late Walter A. Kazda, former fourth ward alderman, and plans were underway to have 
council members and other city officials attend the funeral in a body Tuesday.
When word of the Kazda death was given out Saturday, flags on the city hall and fire 
stations were immediately lowered to half mast. They will remain until after the 
funeral rites.
Mayor Martin Georgenson and the council president, Alderman Peter Staalson?, directed 
City Clerk A. H. Zander to inform aldermen and other city officials to meet at the city 
hall Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. They will go to the Masonic temple in a body, pay their 
respects at the bier and attend the funeral. 
Because Mr. Kazda’s term expired before his death, the city hall cannot be closed for 
the funeral.
********
Inserted into above article: 
A RECORD
The record of Mr. Kazda was unusual. Born in the fourth ward, he lived there all his 
life. He was in business in the fourth ward, and worked in the fourth ward, and his 
funeral services will be held in the fourth ward from the Masonic temple. He would 
have attended public school in the ward if it had boasted such a school, but it is 
the only ward in the city which does not have a public school. For 16 years he 
represented the fourth ward in the city council.

Death of Mrs. Susanna Keil on Sat. morning, the wife of Friedrich Keil, of
pneumonia. Mrs. Keil was born 29 Aug. 1863 in Wächtersbach, Hessen-Nassau and
came to America in 1871. Here she married Mr. Friedrich Keil, her surviving
husband. Twelve days before her death she gave birth to a child. On Monday that child
followed its mother in death. Both were buried Tues. afternoon in the same casket. In
addition to her husband, 4 children mourn her early passing.

*********
Mrs. Fred Keil Succumbed to Pneumonia at Her Home on Thirteenth 
Street this Morning
Mrs. Fred Keil passed away at 9:30 this morning at her home, 
918 South Thirteenth street, after a short illness of two 
weeks.
Her maiden name was Susie Goullow. She was born in Germany 
in 1863 and came to this country with her parents 18 years 
ago. The family settled here and soon after Miss Susie was 
married to Fred Keil. Their life together was happy and Mr. 
Keil successfully plied his trade of carpentering. Their 
home was a pleasant and contented one until about two and 
one half years ago trouble began, and since that time five 
deaths have occurred in the household. First Mrs. Keil's 
mother died, three children then followed and now Mrs. Keil 
herself goes to join that portion of her family already on 
the other shore.
She leaves a husband and six children, the oldest of whom 
is a lad of fifteen years. The youngest is a baby only a 
few weeks old and is not expected to live until morning.
The deceased has one sister in this city. Mrs. James Anderson, 
and a brother Chas. Goullow in Milwaukee.
Mr. and Mrs. Keil have for years been enthusiastic members 
of the German Reform church. She was noted for her Christian 
graces and had a large circle of admiring friends who now 
feel a deep and tender sympathy for the bereft family.
It seems especially sad that she the mother of a family of 
small children, should be taken away in the prime of life. 
Her death was caused by pneumonia.
The funeral services will be held at her late home Tuesday 
afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Manitowoc Daily Herald, Saturday, February 4, 1899 P.1
**********
Twice within twenty-four hours the Angel of death entered the 
Keil home on So. Thirteenth street. The last visit was at an 
early hour Sunday morning and the infant daughter was the 
victim of the destroyer. The child was but twelve days old and 
since the day of birth the little life has hung in the balance. 
The funeral will be held at 1:30 to-morrow afternoon and both 
mother and child will be laid in one grave. The affliction is 
a pathetic one and the sympathy of the entire community is 
extended to the breaved father and husband.

Army during the final year of World War II. He married Helen Nash in January 
1941, with whom he had four children. On June 21, 1958, he married the former 
Evelyne Jennings, and had three children. Ron worked throughout his career in 
the industrial engineering field. Settling in Manitowoc in 1968, he was employed 
by the Manitowoc Engineering Co., and retired in 1986 as production manager. An 
avid bridge player, the highlight of any given week was when he and his partner 
"came in first." He was an active member of The Masquers Inc., often serving as 
Master Builder, and the Golden K, and had at various times belonged to the Elks 
and Lions Clubs. He enjoyed traveling, from the ancient cities of Europe to the 
natural beauty of North America, visiting family and friends. An avid reader of 
both fiction and nonfiction, he could often be found at the local library. Ron 
donated his time and abilities helping senior citizens prepare taxes and was 
always willing to lend a hand, whether it was fixing a lamp, giving financial 
advice or simply listening to others' problems. He led a full life, loved his 
family very much and will be greatly missed.
