CHARLES WM. KRUG

Charles Krug, 74, Dies at Chicago
Charles Krug, 74, vice president of the Aluminum Specialty company, and 
identified with the aluminum industry here and at Chilton for 40 years, died 
Sunday at the home of a daughter in Chicago.
Mr. Krug, who with his brother, the late Emil Krug, started the business here 
in 1909, had not been in the best of health for several months. Recently he 
went to Chicago to consult specialists.
Funeral services will be held at Chilton, probably on Wednesday, with burial

He was born in this city and 40 years ago with his brother, Emil, founded the 
Aluminum Specialty company in the old Glover building, York and North Sixth 
streets. Later the plant was expanded and moved to the present location in the 
fifth ward. 
When the company built a plant at Chilton in 1919, Mr. Krug went there as manager 
and became a vice president of the company. He made his home in Chilton since 
then.
His survivors include his wife, the former Luella Peterson of this city; a son, 
Edward of San Francisco; and two daughters, Mrs. Ethel Puntenney and Mrs. Alice 
Petithomme, both of Chicago.
The body has been returned to a Chilton funeral home.

EMIL W. KRUG

HEART ATTACK PROVES FATAL TO EMIL KRUG
Death Comes Suddenly To Well Known Industrialist and Utilities Commissioner 
Emil W. Krug, 58, identified with the industrial life of Manitowoc for nearly 
40 years, and a member of the Public Utilities commission, died suddenly of a 
heart attack Sunday afternoon at his home, 1417 Columbus street. 
Mr. Krug attended Sunday services at the First Lutheran Church yesterday morning 
and ate a hearty dinner. While seated in a chair in mid afternoon he complained 
to his wife of a severe pain in his chest. He went to bed and a physician was 
summoned. Mr. Krug died in less than half an hour.
Funeral Wednesday
Funeral services will be held Wednesday at 2 p.m. from the Wattawa, Urbanek and 
Schlei funeral home in charge of the Rev. Ernest Zoerb of the First Lutheran 
church. Interment will be in Evergreen cemetery.
Mr. Krug, who was president and manager of the E.W. Krug Manufacturing company 
of 1611 Washington street, tool and dye manufacturers, was a native of this city. 
Born in Manitowoc in 1879 he was educated in the public schools and in early life 
turned to the manufacturing field.
He was affiliated with the Aluminum Novelty company, predecessor of the Aluminum 
Goods Manufacturing company. In 1900 he went east to study the process of die-
making, comparatively new at that time. 
Returning to Manitowoc he took charge of the installation of an engraving and 
diemaking department in the Aluminum Goods company plant. He disposed of his 
interest in that firm and with his brother, Charles and others, organized the 
Aluminum Specialty company. In 1910 he sold his stock in this company and in 
1915 bought into the Invincible company, becoming manager and plant superintendent.
In 1920 Mr. Krug organized his own company, the E.W. Krug Manufacturing company, 
producing machine tools and dies. 
Widow Survives 
In 1933 when John M. Kelley retired from the Public Utilities commission the city 
council chose Mr. Krug to fill the vacancy. His five-year term expires this year. 
He had been vice-president of the commission in recent years.
Mr. Krug was a member of the Masons and the United Commercial Travelers. 
In 1905 he married Miss Minnie Hempton of this city. The widow survives with a 
brother, Charles, Chilton; six sisters, Mrs. Minnie Kahn, Mrs. Knut Linden, Mrs. 
William Jung, Milwaukee, Mrs. Jason Imes, Chicago, Mrs. Catherine Yakes, Ludington, 
Mich., Mrs. Joseph Johnson, city.
The body may be viewed at the funeral home.

BOYS FRIGHTEN TEAM
A. Krumdick and Wife Trown Out of Rig and Both Severely Hurt
One of the most vicious runaways in years was that which was experienced by 
A. Krumdick, a son-in-law of John Jarr who was driving the latter's team on 
Ninth Street early Sunday morning, the pair becoming frightened when some boys 
attempted to hitch on the sleigh. Krumdick made use of the whip in an attempt 
to subdue the animals and they got beyond his control throwing out his wife 
who was with him at the corner of Ninth & State and he was pitched out a little 
later. Mrs. Krumdick sustained severe bruises and cuts to her face and it was 
thought at first that her skull was fractured. Mr. Krumdick was also severely 
bruised. The team continued at a break neck  pace smashing the sleigh to bits. 
They were stopped on Commercial Street.

DANIEL KRUMDICK

FIRST COUNTY WHITE CHILD WEDDED 50 YR'S
Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Krumdick Have Golden Anniversary
Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Krumdick, 624 Jay street, pioneer and respected 
residents of the city and county, are today holding open house in 
celebration of the golden anniversary of their wedding. With the son 
John and daughter Mrs. Charles A. Groffman and the five grandchildren 
of the family present the couple are receiving congratulations from 
a host of friends who are calling to pay their respects to the couple 
who are both hale and hearty and in enjoyment of health which gives 
promise that they will live to celebrate their wedding anniversary 
for many years to come.
Mrs. Krumdick, the bride of fity years ago was born in Prague, Germany 
and came to the United States with her parents when but a child. The 
big Chicago fire was responsible for her coming to Manitowoc, she losing 
all of her clothes and being compelled to flee for her life. Previous to 
her marriage she was Miss Havlinek. The bridegroom of fifty years was 
born in the Town of Kossuth, the first white child to be born in the 
township and next July will celebrate his seventy-fifth birth anniversary, 
having waited until he was nearly twenty-five years old before getting 
married.
Too Young To Go To War
At the time of the Civil War Mr. Krumdick begged to be taken along when 
his three brothers and Henry Schmidt left for the front but the recruiting 
officer refused his request. He was too young. Only one of the three 
brothers returned, the others falling in battle.
January 10, 1872 Justice of the Peace James McCarthy pronounced the words 
which united the Miss Havlinek and Daniel Krumdick in marriage and the pair 
proceeded to make a home out of the wilderness near Rockwell. Thirty-three 
years ago they came to the city and have alweays (sic) since made their 
home at 624 Jay street where the celebration is being held today. Beside 
the two children present today, only one other child was born to the couple, 
a son who died in infancy.

the yard at his home while he was caring for his chickens and although 
he rallied, his fight to live was a losing one. The end came peacefully.
Mr. Krumdick, who was born in Kossuth July 28, seventy-nine years ago 
when the section was a wilderness, had made his home in this city for 
forty years, during 38 of which he had been employed with the Henry Esch 
Sons Co., retiring because of his advancing age. He was an ardent lover 
of flowers and gardening and his chief interest in life was his home. Mr. 
and Mrs. Krumdick celebrated their golden wedding anniversary four years 
ago and the life of the couple had been ideal. Mrs. Krumdick, with two 
of three children born to the couple, survives, the children being Mrs. 
Charles A. Groffman and John Krumdick, both of this city. There are five 
grandchildren and two great grandchildren also surviving.
Died as He Lived-At Peace
Mr. Krumdick was well and favorably known in the city and throughout the 
county, having come in contact with the public in his association with 
the Esch Sons Co., and he was universally esteemed. "Daniel Krumdick died 
as he lived-at peace with all" was the tribute of a friend today that 
aptly pictures the life of the decedent.
Funeral Held Monday
Funeral services for Mr. Krumdick will be held from the home on Jay street 
Monday afternoon. The Rev. Menke of the Reformed church will officiate at 
the services at two o'clock.

PETER KRUMEL

DEATH CALIMS PIONEER BLACKSMITH OF CITY
Peter Krumel, pioneer backsmith and wagon maker of the city, passed away 
at the Holy Family hospital Saturday night after but a few days at the 
institution. Pneumonia, which a weakened system was unable to combat, was 
the immediate cause of death.
A native of Manitowoc county, born at Kossuth in 1872. Mr. Krumel had spent 
his entire life here and for many years was engaged in business as a wagon 
maker and blacksmith, a trade which he followed to his death. He had spent 
time in employment in the north recently owing to lack of work here and 
returned to the city a few weeks ago. His death was undoubtedly hastened by 
an injury which confined him at a Marinette hospital for several weeks when 
he was hurt in an automobile accident, his system having been weakened to 
make it prey to pneumonia when he was removed to the hospital following an 
unfortunate experience in taking a quantity of acid.
Mr. Krumel is survived by his wife who was Julia Wilda, and three daughters 
Adeline Krumel, Mrs. Ray Timm and Mrs. E.J. Carlier, all of this city. One 
brother John Krumel, of Hopewell, Va., and a sister Mrs. Mary Maresh, this 
city also survive.
Funeral services will be held tomorrow morning with Rev. Grace of Sacred

CHARLES KRUMM    (d. 1899)

MEETS SUDDEN DEATH.
Chas. Krumm Instantly Killed By a Fall From His Wagon.
ACCIDENT AT FRANCIS CREEK.
He was Returning From a Trip to Kellnersville.
Was Well Known and Much Respected. Leaves a Wife and Three Children.
The startling news reached this city at ten o'clock last night, that 
Chas. Krumm, Sr., the well known drayman of this city, had fallen from 
his wagon when near Francis Creek and had been instantly killed.
Mr. Krumm was a most careful and industrious follower of his business 
and was much sought after by those having heavy hauling or work that 
required much care, consequently he almost controlled the business of 
moving pianos, organs and things of that nature.
Yesterday morning he left here with a pinao for a person living at 
Kellnersville, fourteen miles from the city. He was in perfect health 
and was strong and vigorous, being still in the prime of life. To-day 
he was brought home, cold and still in death.
He reached Kellnersville in safety after a long slow journey over the 
rough roads, disposed of his freight and started home. No one would have 
believed otherwise than that he would arrived in due time, well and 
strong and healthful as he was when he started out in the morning. His 
journey last night, however, as well as his journey in life terminated 
as suddenly as it was unexpected. He had traveled about four miles on 
his homeward way and had just passed Francis Creek when the accident 
occurred.
His long ride through the cold must have made him numb and stiff. It is 
supposed that he leaned over to draw the robe more closely around him, 
and at the moment the wheel struck something that caused the wagon to 
give a lurch, and that he lost his balance and fell. The terrible accident 
happened about 6:30 o'clock and he was found a few minutes later cold and 
stiff in death. His skull was crushed and the probability is that when he 
fell from his high seat his head struck the hard frozen earth; or it may 
be that his horse kicked him after he fell. At any rate death must have 
come quickly and without a moment's warning.
Thus again is the uncertainty of life demonstrated in startling manner 
that should cause the most careless and indifferent a moment's solemn 
thought.
Mr. Chas. Krumm was rapidly nearing the half century mark of his earthly 
existence having been born Aug. 1, 1849. He was a native Germany but came 
to this country when a mere child. In 1874 he was married to Miss Henrietta 
Mueller. Besides his wife, three children survive him. They are Chas. Krumm 
Jr., a well known salesman in A.C. Schreiter's store: George Krumm a plumber 
in Chicago and Lilly Krumm who is till attending the Third Ward School.
The awefull suddenness of the news was a fearful shock to the family, and 
the little group that was yesterday peaceful and happy is to-day (sic) bowed 
down with grief. One of the well known characteristics of the deceased was 
his devotion to his home and his pride in his family. No place had greater 
attractions for him than his own hearthstone and there he spent most of his 
spare time. He was a steady, honest, industrious man and held the respect 
of all who knew him. He was insured in the Royal Areanum and the Third Ward 
Insurance Co.
The funeral will be held at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon from the home at the 
corner of Eleventh and Hamilton streets.

On Tues. afternoon Chas. Krumm, the well-known wagoner, took a piano to
Kellnersville. He spent some time there and started home about 6:30. Shortly afterward
his horse and wagon were going along in Francis Creek but the driver was missing. Mr.
Krumm was then found lying dead in the street with a fractured skull. Nobody knows
what sort of accident took place and probably never will know. For whatever reason he
had fallen from the wagon and hit his head on a rock. He leaves a widow and 3 grown
children as well as a wide range of acquaintances. The funeral will take place Fri.
afternoon at the city cemetery.

KATHLEEN L. KRUPKAT SPACEK

Kathleen L. Spacek
Kathleen Louise (Krupkat) Spacek, a most extraordinary woman, died Tuesday, 
April 14, 2009, after a tragic accident. Her two younger brothers, Donald and 
Dean Krupkat sadly preceded her in death.
Kathleen was born April 2, 1919, in Manitowoc, WI, the daughter of Kurt J. and 
Minnie (Bingham) Krupkat. She graduated from Lincoln High School in 1937, and 
worked for many years as a stenographer and legal secretary before taking on 
the accounting duties for the family business, Krupkat Heating. Her interests 
ranged from every kind of sports to theatre, but her two lifelong passions were 
music and reading. Being involved in the Manitowoc community was very important 
to her, and she was a member and past president of The Masquers Inc., Republican 
Women, and Business and Professional Women. She also worked with the Manitowoc 
Heart Fund, Community Concerts, Friends of the Library and was a member and 
former deacon at the First Presbyterian Church. Kathleen was a long time supporter 
of the Rahr-West Art Museum, where she and her daughter (private) participated 
in the table-setting displays for ten years, and she also delighted in reading 
to first graders at Madison Elementary School for many years. Two of the proudest 
moments of Kathleen's life occurred very recently. The first, when she witnessed 
the election of President Barack Obama; the second when she celebrated her 90th 
birthday in grand style with family and friends.
Kathleen was married to Eugene C. Spacek, Manitowoc, and is the beloved mother 
and mother-in-law of (private), Wauwatosa, and (private), Jacksonville, FL.
(Survivors omitted for privacy)
As a favorite author of Kathleen's wrote, "The bond that links your true family 
is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. Rarely do 
members of one family grow up under the same roof."
A Memorial service will be held at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday April 25, 2009, at the 
Pfeffer Funeral Home & Cremation Center, Manitowoc.
The family will greet friends and relatives at the Pfeffer Funeral Home from 
10:00 a.m. until the time of the service.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the Lakeshore Humane Society, the 
American Cancer Association, or to the Manitowoc Library.
Kathleen's family would like to express special thanks to Drs. (private) and the 
wonderful staff at Holy Family Memorial Medical Center for their extraordinary 
care and compassion.
Kathleen was a true steel magnolia, always able to get through hard times but 
as gentle and delicate as the flower. She always kept her wonder and awe of life, 
and never failed to see the beauty around her; in Lake Michigan, a spectacular 
sunset, or just the white clouds on a blue sky. She touched many, many, people 
in her life and will be deeply missed.

JOSEPH KUBICHEK

KILLED WHEN CAR TOPPLES ON HIS CHEST 
Joseph Kubichek Victim of Accident When Auto Falls From Jacks 
Joseph Kubichek, 31, iron worker, was crushed to death early Saturday evening 
in the garage at the rear of his home, 1411 Franklin street, when a small car 
under which he was at work toppled off the jacks and pinned him to the garage 
floor.
Kubichek was dead when found by his mother-in-law, Mrs. Anna Hynek, as she went 
to look for him when she got no response to calls from the house. Mrs. Kubichek 
was downtown shopping at the time and did not reach home for more than an hour 
after the tragedy.
Falls On His Chest 
The man had gone to the garage in mid afternoon to make some repairs to his small 
car. He jacked..(line underinked)..one of the jacks under the axle housing and 
removed both rear wheels. From the position of the body it is believed that he 
crawled under the rear of the car to make some adjustments with a wrench. These 
operations probably moved the car off the jacks and it fell on his chest, crushing 
out his life.
When Mrs. Hynek opened the garage door shortly before 4:45 p.m., she saw her son-
in-law under the car and called her father, Jacob Naidl, Whitelaw, visiting at the 
Kubichek home. He in turn summoned police. Officers Darhant and Smrz reached the 
garage and with the assistance of others the car was raised and the body pulled 
from beneath the rear axle. 
Dr. George Hoffman, who was called, said Kubichek had been almost instantly killed. 
Dr. Gerald Rau, county coroner, said there will be no inquest.
Born at Mishicot 
The deceased was born at Mishicot Sept. 10, 1904 and came to this city 12 years ago. 
He was employed for many years at the shipyards and in recent months had been 
employed at the Manitowoc Boiler Works. In 1927 he was married to Olive Hynek of 
this city.
Survivors are his widow; three small daughters, Gladys, 7, Geraldine, 4, and Joanne, 
2; a sister, Mrs. Fred Petska, Bolt, Wis.; five brothers, Jacob, city, Frank, Rice 
Lake, Anton, Whitelaw, Charles, Kewaunee, Louis, Two Creeks.
Funeral services will be held Tuesday at 2 p.m., from the Wattawa, Urbanek and Schlei 
funeral home in charge of the Rev. C. H. Phipps. Interment will be in Evergreen 
cemetery.
The body is at the funeral home and may be viewed there until the hour of the funeral 
tomorrow.

And found an empty place.

And saw your tired face
He put His arm around you,
And lifted you to rest
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that your were suffering.
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb,
So He closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered, "Peace Be Thine."
It broke our heart to lose you
But you didn't go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

Woman in River Saved By Nurse
Audrey Davis, Tows Matron, 54, To Shore 
Mrs. John Kuchera, 54-year-old, housewife of route 4, Manitowoc, is still alive 
today thanks to the alertness and skill of a young Holy Family hospital nurse 
who was enjoying time off by swimming in the Manitowoc river above the dam near 
Ravine park, northwest of Manitowoc Rapids this morning.
The nurse, Audrey Davis of 823 North 10th street, towed Mrs. Kuchera from mid-
stream, back to the south bank, about 100 feet from the Kuchera home, where the 
woman’s husband pulled her, unconscious, from the water onto a small dock. 
Clarence Baryenbruck, a deputy sheriff, arrived a few minutes later but the woman 
was already breathing easier, although she had swallowed a large quantity of water, 
according to Coroner Theodore Teitgen. Mrs. Kuchera was taken to Holy Family 
hospital by ambulance where her condition is not regarded as serious.
Kuchera arrived home about 8:45 a.m. after a shopping trip and discovered his wife 
was missing. He had left her asleep in bed some minutes previously to buy some 
things at the store. A path leads from the house down a wooded slope directly to 
the river. Following this path Kuchera arrived at the stream’s edge in time to meet 
Miss Davis and pull his wife from the water. 
The nurse had been swimming on the north side of the river when she noticed a person 
struggling near mid-stream. The river at that point is about 180 feet wide. She swam 
to the drowning woman and towed her the rest of the distance to the south bank.

Rescue in River Made by Mrs. Nowakowski
Mrs. R. F. Nowakowski of Manitowoc Rapids rural route, a former nurse at Holy Family 
hospital was the young woman who towed Mrs. John Kuchera to shore in the Manitowoc 
river above the dam Saturday morning.
The Herald-Times had previously reported the rescuer was Miss Audrey Davis a student 
nurse.
Persons who know both women have said both have red hair and bear a close resemblance 
to each other, which confused the Herald-Times informant.
Mrs. Nowakowski swam some distance across and down the river to reach the victim before 
towing her to shore. Mrs. Kuchera died at Holy Family hospital yesterday.
