the grippe only a day earlier but because of the her weakened condition and

FROM OUT THE GLOOM.
Mrs. Chas. Kracht Crossed The Dark River of Death Yesterday.
SUMMONS CAME AT 4 O'CLOCK.
Deceased Was 85 Years of Age and Was a Pioneer of Manitowoc 
County-Ill but a Few Days.
Mrs. Chas. Kracht crossed the dark river at her home just 
south of the city yesterday afternoon. The summons came at 
4 o'clock and she passed away as quietly and peacefully as 
one lying down to pleasant dreams. She was 85 years of age 
and had been in failing health for a number of years. About 
four days ago she was attacked by the grip and was obliged 
to take to her couch. Since that time her death has been 
momentarily expected but it was, nevertheless, a severe 
shock to the family.
Minnie Wiehenkel, the suject of this sketch, was born at 
Hanover, June 10, 1814, and her early life was passed at 
that place. In 1852 she was married to Chas. Kracht and 
they removed to Canada. Four years later they came to the 
United States and located in Manitowoc county where they 
have since resided. An aged husband and one daughter Mr. 
M. Christiansen survive to mourn her loss. Deceased was a 
woman of more than ordinary strength of character and was 
held in high esteem by all who knew her.
The funeral will be held to-morrow at 2 o'clock from the 
late residence.

line, that is, of the M.L.S. & W. Ry. The country is yet a primitive wilderness. 
Night is made hideous by the howling of wolves, while during the day you 
everywhere meet the evidence of abundant game. A short time ago, Mr. Krahn met 
a monster bear rather suddenly. Before he knew it he was within about eight feet 
of bruin and could nearly touch the latter with the muzzle of his rifle. But 
there was no time for experimenting and Frank blazed away and down went his 
bearship. The trophy was promptly secured, and relatives and friends in this 
city received a share of the meat.

GUST C. KRAHN

(From the correspondent in Two Rivers, 29 June)
Local barber Gustav Krahn died suddenly of a heart attack Sunday morning 
between 5 and 7 a.m. The exact time of his death cannot be given because 
he was home alone while his wife was on a visit to Manitowoc. He had already 
arisen and had his breakfast when the attack hit. When he was found his 
coffee was still warm. He had planned a trip to English Lake for Sunday and 
on the return trip pick up his wife in Manitowoc… A doctor was called but 
could only confirm that Mr. Krahn was dead from a heart attack. He was 32 
years of age and is survived by his widow and an 8-year old daughter. He 
was widely known and respected here. He operated a thriving barber shop near 
Waverly House.

Gustave Krahn, a Manitowoc man who had been located at Two Rivers for the past 
three years engaged in the barber business, was stricken with apoplexy early 
Sunday morning while partaking of breakfast. His dead body was found on the 
floor by Hans Hendrickson at about 7 o'clock in the morning. He was alone in 
the house, his wife and child having come to this city Saturday evening to 
visit over Sunday with her mother, Mrs. Keune, York street. Mr. Krahn had made 
arrangements with Mr. Hendrickson to go fishing to English lake Sunday. Mr. 
Hendrickson called at the house and when repeated knocking brought no response 
the door was forced in and the dead body of Mr. Krahn was lying on the floor. 
Dr. Currens was immediately summoned and stated that Mr. Krahn had been dead 
over an hour. Mrs. Krahn was notified of her husband's death and hastened to 
Two Rivers. The corpse was brought to this city later in the day and taken to 
the Keune home on York street.
Gustave Krahn was born and reared in this city and for several years conducted 
a barbershop here. He was 32 years of age. He was married ten years ago to Miss 
Anna Keune, who with one daughter, aged eight years, survives him. He is also 
survived by his parents, three sisters and one brother. He was a member of the 
Odd Fellows and of the Royal League. He was well and favorably known in this 
city and Two Rivers.
The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon. Rev. Anderson of Two Rivers officiated.

HERMAN KRAHN

From Der Nord Westen, 16 Mar. 1899:
Fri. night Herman Krahn, a young man from Kaukauna who formerly resided here,
was killed by being run over by a freight train near Marshfield. He was a brakeman on
the train and was missing when it arrived in Marshfield. The search found his mangled
body on the tracks and it is surmised that he slipped and fell under the wheels. He 
was buried Mon. in Manitowoc.

MEETS SUDDEN DEATH.
Herman Krahn Run Over By a C & N.W. Freight Train Near Marshfield.
DEATH WAS INSTANTANEOUS.
Formerly Lived in Manitowoc, Where He Still Has Relative, 
Remains to be Brought Here Monday.
Herman Krahn, of Kaukauna, a young man who formerly resided 
in Manitowoc, was run over by a freight train and instantly 
killed last night. The accident occurred about one half a 
mile this side of Marshfield.
Mr. Krahn is a brakeman on the Marshfield branch of the 
Chicago & Northwestern road. Last night when the regular 
freight reached Marshfield Mr. Krahn was missing. He had 
been last seen at a switch about a half mile back and some 
of the crew were sent back to investigate. The body was 
found lying near the track in a horribly mutilated condition, 
the rear end of the train having passed across his chest. 
The body was taden (sic) to Marshfield and thence to 
Kaukauna.
Just how the accident happened will never be known. It had 
been raining and freezing and it is generally supposed among 
the train hands that the deceased slipped while boarding the 
caboose and fell under the wheels.
Mrs. Fredericka Krahn, the mother of the deceased was visiting 
her son William Krahn in this city and news of her terrible 
bereavement was sent her immediately. She left for Kaukauna 
this morning. The remains will be brought to Manitowoc arriving 
here at one o'clock Monday afternoon. Interment will take place 
immediately at Evergreen cemetery.
Herman Krahn was a single man, thirty years of age. He formerly 
lived in this city and was employed at different times by J.A. 
Koehler and C. Bock. For a time he was also operator in the 
Western Union telegraph office. Nine years ago he took up 
railroad work and with his mother lived at Kaukauna. One 
brother, William, works for the Smalley Manufcturing Company 
in this city. His father Mr. Fred Krahn was also a railroad 
man and met his death in a manner similar to that of his son 
several years ago.
The many friends of Mr. Krahn in this city were quite shocked 
at his sudden taking away and many express regret and sympathy 
for the family.

JOHN KRAINIK    (d. 1923)

John Krainik, City Pioneer Passes Away
Identified With Old Marine Band as a Charter Member
Death came as a messenger of release from suffering to John Krainik, 
pioneer business man and musician of the county and city, at his home at 
the corner of North Eighth street and New York avenue at 5 o'clock this 
morning. Mr. Krainik suffered a stroke of paralysis two months ago that 
confined him to his bed and his advanced age made the stroke more serious. 
The funeral will be held saturday afternoon with service at the home at 
2 o'clock, John Duran officiating and burial will be at Evergreen. 
Members of the family have requested the service be private.
Charter Member Marine Band
Mr. Krainik was eighty-five years old and was born in Bohemia, June 2, 
1838. He decided as a young man that he would come to the United States, 
land of opportunity and located in Manitowoc County to make his new home.  
Here he was married more than a half century ago and engaged in business 
at Francis Creek where for many years he conducted a saloon, hotel and 
store. Some forty years ago he sold out and came to Manitowoc where he 
engaged in the lumber business on what is now the site of the Soo depot. 
With his arrival here he became identified with the musical organizations 
of the city and was a member of the Marine band when it was organized, 
servicing under its successive leaders until about three years ago when 
age compelled him to retire from active service. He always took a keen 
interest in music, attended rehearsals faithfully and was always on hand 
when the band turned out for private and public occasion.
Following the sale of the local lumber yard the Krainik family moved to 
Plummer, Wis. where Mr. Krainik engaged in the saw mill business but the 
venture was not the success he had expected and he sold the business to 
return to this city where for thirty-five years he has made his home in 
the same building at New York avenue and Eighth streets.
Death is Mourned
An honest conscientious, home loving man he enjoyed friendship of a wide 
circle of friends in the city and county and news of the death will bring 
a feeling of loss to many.
Five children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Krainik and with the widow survive 
to mourn his death. They are Fred, who is still in service in the United 
States Navy and stationed at Oakland, California, Mrs. E.J. Steidl at Crete, 
Neb., Mrs. Walter Blumenthal, Laramie, Wyoming, Mrs. J.T. Webster, Chicago, 
and Miss Vlasta at home. One sister, Mrs. Jelinik, of Crete, 
Neb., also survives him.
Pioneer of Herald Family
Mr. Krainik was one of the first subscribers for the Daily Herald when it 
was founded twenty-five years ago and had been a constant reader of the 
paper during its quarter century of publication and its staunch friend. 
Even during his last illness he had continued his daily perusal of the 
paper and had retained an interest in events. Mr. Krainik, although he 
had never held public office, was always keenly awake to public affairs 
and was a citizen who apprecated his responsibilities and priviliges (sic), 
it having been his proud boast that he had never failed to vote in an 
election.
The death of Mr. Krainik will be a loss to all who knew him.

VICTOR E. KRAJNEK

Victor Krajnek, age 83, passed away Tuesday, July 25, 2023, after a long illness. 
A life-long Manitowoc resident, Victor was born July 31, 1939, to Edward and Agnes (Kvitek) Krajnek. Vic attended Holy Innocents grade school and graduated from Lincoln High School with the class of 1957. After high school, Vic enlisted in the U.S. Navy, and had the rare honor of proudly serving President Dwight Eisenhower at Camp David Presidential Retreat, where he received several commendations.
After his discharge from the Navy, he began his working career at Imperial Eastman in Manitowoc, then completed his electrical journeyman apprenticeship at Lakeshore Technical College. After that, he worked for various electrical construction contractors and was a member of the IBEW Union 494. He retired from Specht Electric in 2001. By then, he had attained a Wisconsin State Master Electrician license.
On July 26, 1969, he married Winifred (Winnie) Zagrodnik at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Manitowoc. They were about to celebrate 54 years of marriage at the time of his passing. Vic and Winnie had 3 children, and as a family they enjoyed their annual trip to Wisconsin Dells, and vacations in Washington, D.C., Disney World, and summer weeks at a cottage on Clark Lake in Door County, where Vic pretended to be a master fisherman, but really preferred to float around in an inner tube or cruise around the lake in the fishing boat. He was also the family grill master, famous for asking if the food is done enough, and telling everyone that he could "put it back on" for a bit. (It was always perfect, and he knew it.)
In retirement, he avidly studied the stock market and talked about it to anyone who would listen. He also helped his family and friends with almost any project that arose. However, his pride and joy were his grandchildren, and he followed them wherever their sporting events, music or dance recitals, and school events would lead.
Vic is survived by his wife of 54 years, Winifred (Winnie); daughter and son-in-law Kelly and Jeff Kautzer (Green Bay) and their children, Jack and Lauren (special friend, Daniel Fenn); sons and daughter-in-law (both of Manitowoc) David Krajnek and his children Leah, Ian, and Emma; and Andrew and Amanda Krajnek, along with their children Mallory, Emmalyn, Grace, Grant, Lucia, and Anna. He is also survived by his brother, Robert Krajnek of Manitowoc; brother-and sister-in-law, Dr. Lynn and Judy Holder of Manitowoc, and sister-in­law Betty Adler of Marshfield, WI, as well as other relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Edward and Agnes Krajnek, in-laws, Albert and Leona Zagrodnik, and an infant grandson, Peter Krajnek.
Vic was life-long member of Holy Innocents Catholic Church (now St. Francis of Assisi Parish), and served on its Board of Education, and was also a minister of hospitality. Additionally, he was known for his wit. and always had a good story- especially about a favorite trip to Jamaica with his "cottage friends" before he met Winnie, his time at Camp David, or other shenanigans.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11:00 am on Saturday, July 29, 2023, at St. Francis of Assisi- Grand location, 1416 Grand Ave, Manitowoc, with Rev. Doug Le Captain officiating. Relatives and friends may call at the church from 9:30 am until the time of service at 11:00 am. Burial will take place at Evergreen Cemetery with military honors to take place.

ANTON AND EMIL KRAJNIK

SMALL POX
Yes, the disease is here; has been here for fully five weeks, and "we know it 
not."
There have been deaths from this disease, and funerals, but no one dreamed that 
small pox was the cause. Yesterday when the rumor first started, people were 
incredulous. The story was so improbable that nobody was inclined to give it 
credence. It seemed so much like one of those panics of which rumors of small 
pox are so prolific, that thoughtful people treated it as a bug-bear. We were 
one of the disbelievers, but feeling that the matter needed investigating, we
called upon a brother of the person whose family has the disease and ascertained
all the facts. Joseph Krejnik(sic) was a farmer living in Kossuth, about forty 
rods from the saloon-keeper Ceval, in whose family small pox had broken out some
time ago as stated in The Pilot. The nature of the disease at that time was 
either unknown or if known, concealed. Krejnik moved into the city about six 
weeks ago. His family were then in good health although it appears they had been
unconsciously exposed to infection. Mr. Krejnik settled in the Second ward and a 
short while after one of his children became sick but recovered.
The rest were vaccinated while the small pox virus was in their asylum. Three of 
them died-one last Thursday and one on Monday of this week. They were buried
privately in Evergreen Cemetery but not as reported, in the night. A farmer from 
the country was hired to bring the bodies to the graveyard. Two more of the 
children are now sick. All had been vaccinated except the one who recovered.
Mr. Krejnik protests that no person has been allowed to enter the house since
the disease broke out, and that no occupant of the house has been out since that
time. A man has been engaged to do all the necessary work and bring to the house 
all things that were needful. What impelled them to keep the matter a secret so 
long it is difficult to say. A neighbor living in the adjoining house knew there 
was sickness in the family and suspected what it was and work was sent to the 
marshal yesterday and he made investigations. Placard were printed and the place 
is now quarantined. The house stands in one of the most populous blocks in the 
city and it is a matter of surprise that the disease has been kept thus closely 
limited. There is really not much cause for apprehension.
Now that the authorities are apprised of the existence of the plague, it can be
kept under control.
This saloon in Kossuth has proved the nucleus for a number of cases throughout
the county. A dance was given about two weeks ago at a saloon near the infected 
one, and it is said the infection is spreading.

LIFE'S JOURNEY O'ER.
Death Summons Came to Joseph Krainik Last Night.
LEAVES A LARGE FAMILY.
Born In Bohemia in 1845 and Came to Manitowoc County in 1857.
Joseph Krainik died at his home, corner Main and Chicago 
streets, last night. He has been ill about four months and 
suffered from lung trouble. For three months he has been 
confined to his bed, and although it has been known for some 
time that he could not survive, his death was unexpected. The 
deceased had been a resident of this city for eighteen years 
and was well and favorably known.
Joseph Krainik was born in Bohemia, January 25, 1845, his 
parents being natives of the same country. In company with 
his parents he emigrated to America in January 1857 and they 
settled on a farm in the town of Kossuth, this county. His 
early advantages were limited and life was a struggle for an 
existence. At the age of 13 he was obliged to assist in the 
support of the family and worked for fifteen (15) cents a 
day to keep the wolf from the door. He was industrious and 
never complained. At times the struggle was very hard but he 
persevered and now leaves his family in comfortable 
circumstances. In February 1868 he was united in marriage to 
Miss Lizzia Hlava, of Kossuth, and they settled upon a farm 
of their own. Fifteen children were born to them, eight of 
whom, with his wife, survive him.
In 1881 they removed to this city and shortly after locating 
here the family was afflicted with small pox. Three children 
died from the disease and Mr. and Mrs. Krainik and one child 
were the only ones of the large family, who escaped the plague. 
Since that time little of the eventful has characterized the 
life of the decedent, and he has been fairly prosperous.
The children who survive him are Joseph, of Milwaukee, Mary, 
Anna, Emma, Rosa, Vlasta, Libbie and Julia, of this city. 
Three brothers and two sisters also survive him. They are 
Anton Krainik, of Lodi, Wenzel and Stephen, of this city, 
and Mrs. Barta and Mrs. Spivacek, of this city.
Deceased was a member of Bohemia lodge, No. 182, C.S.P.S., 
and of the Slovanski Lipa and Sokol. He was a man respected 
by all who knew him and was a quiet retiring disposition. The 
funeral will be held from the late residence at 2 o'clock 
Friday and will be in charge of the C.S.P.S. society.

MATHILDA KRASE

A sufferer for five years, Mrs. Fred Krause(sic), So. Sixteenth Street, was 
relieved by death while at the home of her parents in the country, death coming

incurable disease. Mrs. Krause was 40 years of age and had made her home in the 
county all her life, having been born at Two Creeks. Though ill, Mrs. Krause was 
up and about until a few days ago and a week ago visited at Mishicott. She was 
the mother of three children who survive, her husband having died three years 
ago on a train in Utah while on his way from from California where he had gone 
for his health. Mrs. Krause is survived by her parents and two sisters, Mrs.

parents a mile southwest of the city Sunday at 3.

Stricken at Claremore, Oklahoma, While En Route to Visit in Texas
Ex-Fire Chief John H. Kratz, of this city, died suddenly at Claremore, 
Okla., Wednesday while enroute from Emporia, Kan., to Texas where he 
planned to visit before returning to Manitowoc about May 1. Death was 
due to heart failure and came as Mr. Kratz was resting at Claremont 
after his trip from Kansas. Mr. Kratz was 73 years of age.
Body Brought Here
Mr. Kratz, who left here November 15 and motored by slow stages to 
Emporia, Kansas, had been spending the winter with his daughter Mrs. 
Croffort in that city and left there Tuesday on his trip to Texas. He 
was stricken shortly after noon and Mr. and Mrs. Croffort left for

which time he had built and developed one of the best equipped and 
most efficient department in the state, Mr. Kratz at his own request 
was retired under the firemen's pension system on November 1, last 
year. Shortly after he departed for a well earned vacation with 
intention of returning here this spring to make his permanent home. 
In recent letters to friends he had referred to his early return 
and the enjoyment of his trip and said that his health was excellent. 
The news of his sudden death came as a great shock.
Fireman Boy and Man
Born at Boone, N.Y., October 21, 1853, Mr. Kratz was 73 and his 
retirement marked the close of a ??? of ???? years as a fire fighter. 
When he was a boy his parents located at Muskegeon, Mich., where Mr.

and then chief of the department and manager of the city water works. 
In 1888 he accepted the position of chief of the Menominee department 
where he remained for 15 years and then came to Manitowoc in 1903 and 
since that time until his retirement, headed the local department.
Married 48 years ago to Julia O'Connell, of Muskegeon, Mich., Mr. 
Kratz was called upon to mourn the loss of his wife in January 1926 
and he is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Hiram Madsen, this city and 
Mrs. C. Croffort, of Emporia, Kan., one brother Mortimer and a sister 
Mrs. Mary Bradley at Muskegeon, Mich., and three grandchildren. He was 
a member of the Blue lodge of the chapter R. and S. of the Commandery 
and of the Eastern Star in this city and was active in the 
organizations.
Good Fireman, A Fighter
Mr. Kratz was recognized as one of the foremost men in the departments 
of the state to which he gave his service and was treasurer of the 
Wisconsin Paid Firemen's Association at his death, having served since 
organization of the association a score of years ago. He was keenly 
appreciative of the value of preparedness and was a fighter, always 
seeking to improve the department and develop it to highest effciency 
and his service had been marked by determined struggles along that 
line, always with betterment in view. He was strict in discipline in 
service and insisted upon the best his men had to give in interest of 
the city. Chief Kratz was watchful of the city's interets and his work 
in developing his department and its efficiency had operated to hold 
down insurance rates to property owners.
Funeral arrangements will be announced later.

JULIA M. KRATZ

DEATH ENDS SUFFERING OF MRS. J. KRATZ
Wife of Fire Chief Had Been Ill for more than a Year 
A brave battle against odds that she could never hope to overcome ended for Mrs. 
Julia Kratz, wife of Fire Chief John H. Kratz at the hospital at midnight last 
night when she calmly fell into sleep never to awaken. The passing of life for 
Mrs. Kratz was peaceful and in sharp contrast to the suffering which she had 
borne with patience and fortitude for many months, with a knowledge that death 
must ultimately triumph over her.
For nearly eighteen months Mrs. Kratz had been a sufferer and for several months 
she had been a patient at the hospital, receiving every care but with hope waning 
with the passing days. Mrs. Kratz was hopeful and cheerful to the very end and 
while her death is a great shock to friends the sorrow is mitigated by the 
knowledge that her sufferings are over.
Mrs. Kratz, nee O'Connell, was born at Quincy, Mass., March 10, 1858, being 67 
years of age. She was married to John H. Kratz, November 24, 1880 and for many 
years the family resided at Muskegon, Mich., where Mr. Kratz was chief of the city 
fire department. Later, about 37 years ago, the family removed to Menominee, Mich., 
where Mr. Kratz held a similar position for fifteen years and they then came to 
this city upon his election as chief of the local department.
During her residence here and up to the time of her illness, Mrs. Kratz was active 
in social and church circles, being a member of the local chapter of the Eastern 
Star, the King's Daughters, and of the Ladies society of the Presbyterian church. 
Besides her husband she is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Hiram Madson of this 
city and Mrs. R. O. roffoot of Burlington, Wis.  One brother John J. O'Connell of 
Chicago also survives.
Funeral services will be held rom the family home at 617 North Sixth street
