JUDY K. LECLAIR

Judith Kay was embraced in God’s arms at 5:12 p.m. on June 15, 2021 in her home surrounded by her children and family. Judy was born on July 9, 1939 at 512 Caroline Street, Neenah WI to George and Mildred Larson, making them parents for the first time. If anyone knows our mom, you would know the importance of the number 512 and the great meaning it carried in her heart and for her to pass at 5:12 p.m. is breathtaking. 
All Judy ever wanted in life was to be a mom. She made a home for her family with wonderful meals, delicious desserts (especially her chocolate cake with thick chocolate frosting and first day of school requests such as cherry pie), countless cuddly dogs, and cozy decorations that included antique dolls and bears and lots of homemade craft projects. 
Christmas was her favorite season – she made the home into a magical place with evergreen and berry decorations that remained up all year. Outside was a winter wonderland when the pond was cleared to make a skating rink, next to a huge sledding hill where many friends spent time tobogganing and snowmobiling (along with swimming and fishing in the summer off the raft and dock).
She was a gifted writer and artist, whether it was with water colors like her father, the pencil or ink sketches of her famous Christmas cards, cartoons, bookmarks for every book she ever bought or emails with different fonts and formatting (always with a borrowed stock image or original scanned artwork). She loved all types of music and passed along the permission to listen to it “cranked up” even in her last days. 
The memoir she penned of her childhood “From the Front Porch” in Neenah at 512 Caroline Street was printed and gifted to family and friends as a keepsake to treasure and pass along to the great grandkids. 
Her faith in Jesus and love of bible study brought the light of hope and love to anyone she met. Spending any amount of time with Judy meant you were included in her warm family because of her tender heart and witty sense of humor. 
Judy is survived by her children, Debi Perrault (Appleton), Terri (Tom) Goudy (Neenah), Amy (Dan) Fessler (Manitowoc) Katie LeClair and her partner Kelly (Minneapolis, MN), Jon-Paul (Tracy) LeClair (Oshkosh).  Also survived were her 12 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren. Her siblings John (Pat) Larson (Appleton), Jean (Chris) Kordus (Appleton), Mark (Jean) Larson (Neenah)
She was preceded in death by her husband of 45 years, Leo J. LeClair, her parents George and Mildred Larson and her grandson Samuel T. Goudy, and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
The family will hold a private memorial celebration this summer.
In lieu of flowers, please send condolences to Pfeffer Funeral Home, Manitowoc, WI in memory of Judy LeClair.
The family would like to express deep gratitude to Sharon S. Richardson Hospice, especially her nurse Cariann and also her grandson Jeremy Fessler and fiancé Sammi Leischner for all their loving care. 
From her memoir: “To my children…who gave me the most joy one can have…I want you all to shrink down to being young again…So I can do it all over again…only better” – Mom

LEO J. LECLAIR

Leo John LeClair, age 81, died on March 10, 2017, of complications due to diabetes and dementia, in Manitowoc, Wisconsin.
Leo is survived by his wife, Judy (Larson) of 45 years. Leo and Judy raised five children and enjoyed fourteen grandchildren. He built their home in Cato where he developed a pond stocked with perch and blue gill, where he spent time fishing and where the kids spent their summers swimming and winters ice skating. He also raised chickens, geese and ducks, enjoyed restoring classic automobiles, designed and assembled hand-crafted wooden furniture, and entertained many friends while baking his “famous” homemade pizza.
Leo was born on October 24, 1935, in Manitowoc, the only son of the late Leonard and Lillian. Leo was raised on a small farm where they raised beagles, livestock, and harvested crops. He graduated from Lincoln High School and studied engineering in Chicago. Leo served in the United States Army as a medic in the 1960s. Upon his return home, he traveled extensively for the Manitowoc Company as a mechanic. He then joined Joe Kaufmann in the classic car restoration business, where they restored many autos from around the United States, including Duesenbergs for Clark Gable, Gary Cooper, and Greta Garbo. Leo and Judy were active members in the Horseless Carriage Club of America. He was later employed with Foster Needle Company as a Tool and Dye Machinist, from where he retired.
Leo’s family and friends will always remember him as a tireless worker, a kind and generous friend, and creative person who was able to fix just about anything.
At Leo’s request, a private family memorial service will be held. In lieu of flowers, the family wishes for donations to be made in Leo’s name to the Manitowoc Health and Rehab Center [2021 S Alverno Rd, Manitowoc, WI 54220], where Leo received excellent and loving nursing care for the last 3 years of his life.

DORA MAE LEE

3 YEAR OLD CHILD KILLED BY PASSING MOTORIST
WISCONSIN AVE. SCENE OF ACCIDENT
Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Lee Fatally Hurt When 
Hit By Car Driven By R. Fricke
Suddenly showing up in front of his car, while he was driving east 
on Wisconsin Ave. shortly after six o’clock last evening, Dora Mae 
Marie Lee, 3 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Lee, 940 
North Sixteenth street, was run down and fatally injured by Richard 
Fricke, the child, suffering a fractured skull, where it was struck 
by the Fricke car, died at the hospital shortly after midnight last 
night. Coroner Kemper was notified and referred the matter to the 
district attorney to decide on whether or not an inquest would be 
ordered. The death of the little girl was a sad shock to the young 
mother, who was a Miller girl from this city before her marriage. 
The family removed to Manitowoc last January from Crofton, Neb., and 
have one other daughter, an eighteen month old child. 
Parents Both Home. 
The parents were both home when the accident occurred. Mr. Lee had 
parked his Dodge touring car on Wisconsin Ave. and the daughter was 
engaged in playing in and about the machine. They were under the 
impression that the child had been in the car and stepped from it 
to the street when struck by Fricke. Mr. Fricke on the other hand, 
in his version of the accident gave his view that the child had been 
playing at the curb and stepped out from the back of the Lee machine 
just as he came along. Fricke stated that he was proceeding east on 
Wisconsin street towards Sixteenth street and had slowed up to make 
the turn into Sixteenth street to stop at his residence, 930 Sixteenth 
street. He noticed the little girl when it had taken but a few steps 
beyond the park car. He tried to swerve his machine to the left to 
avoid striking the youngster, but the child continued on toward the 
middle of the street and was struck by the fender of the Ford coupe 
and knocked to the pavement. 
Fricke Stops Machine. 
Fricke reported that he stopped within a couple of car lengths and 
dashed from his car to pick the child from the pavement. By this time, 
Newton W. Allen, who resides across the street on Wisconsin Ave. rushed 
over and took the child from Fricke and ran to his own car. Fricke 
jumped in the Allen car and with Mr. Lee, father of the injured girl 
with them hastened to the hospital. An examination by physicians showed 
that the Lee child had suffered a fractured skull and shortly after 
midnight it died. 
Reports Accident to Police. 
Fricke, who is a member of the firm of Fricke and Weber, North Eighth 
street, immediately reported the accident to the police. The remains 
were taken to the Frazier Mortuary and it was announced that burial 
would take place on Saturday morning. It was announced this afternoon 
that the funeral of the Lee child would take place on Saturday afternoon 
at three o’clock from the Frazier Mortuary, corner of Ninth and Chicago 
streets. It was also said this afternoon that the district attorney had 
decided that no inquest into the accident would be necessary, it being 
the opinion of officials, after an investigation, that it was an 
unavoidable accident.

CHINA WEDDING AT LEE HOME
It was twenty years ago yesterday that Miss Rose Kucera and George Lee clasped
hands to journey down life's pathway as partners and the journey has been
attended by many happy incidents, but none more happy than the surprise which
friends arranged last night in celebration of the china wedding of the couple.
To the number of a score or more they invaded the Lee home on Twenty-fifth
street and voiced their esteem for the worthy couple by presentation of a
handsome bird cage and then proceeded to do justice to an occasion that happens
but once in the married life of a couple. Walter Rathsack extended greetings
for the party in an original poem, "Rose and I," that was a great hit. Music,
refreshments and other entertainment was provided. Mr. Lee is foreman of the
riveters at the Shipbuilding company and with his wife enjoys a wide popularity.

TCHUE LEE

Teen Who Died Had Past Heart Problems
Eighth-grader collapsed during class activity
Tchue Lee, the 15-year-old boy who died Wednesday while running during a physical-education class at a Green Bay park, had a significant history of cardiac problems dating to birth.
"I think it's fair to say that he's had this condition all of his life," said Al Klimek, Brown County interim medical examiner.
Klimek said Lee's medical condition made him susceptible to sudden cardiac death.
Lee, a Washington Middle School eighth-grader, collapsed Wednesday morning while taking part in a running activity at Joannes Park. He was pronounced dead at St. Vincent Hospital in Green Bay but was clinically dead the minute he collapsed, Klimek said.
Clinical death is when a person's pulse and respiration stops, Klimek said.
Lee apparently died of natural causes, and Klimek said he would list the cause of death as a cardiovascular failure. A toxicology test will be performed.
Lee was one of 64 students taking part in a run when he collapsed at the park.
School officials said Wednesday three teachers performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the boy, who had stopped breathing.
"The medical records that I have obtained have never shown that he's had anything similar to what he was presented with (Wednesday_ - fainting,
(See Teen, A-2)
TEEN/3 teachers performed CPR
(From A-1)
Loss of heartbeat or any kind of collapse under exertion," Klimek said.
Lee was not on medications, Klimek said.
Dan Nerad, Green Bay School District superintendent, said the school district typically requires a note from a physician before it will exempt a student from a particular physical activity.
But Nerad would not say Thursday whether there was such a note in Lee's case or whether district officials knew about the boy's medical history.
Klimek praised the three teachers who performed CPR on Lee.
"These people were doing a great job," Klimek said. "If he had the ability to survive this incident, everything was provided to him in order for that to happen…and sometimes that just doesn't work."
Classmate Dustin Kong said he would always remember Lee as a happy boy.
"I always remember the smiles and jokes and how he dressed because it was funny…we called it old-school," Kong said.
Kong said he'd miss "everything (Lee) does and says.
"He was nice and he was friendly," Kong said.
Kayla Bunday, a Washington eighth-grader, said she remembered Lee as a boy who would not stop laughing.
"He was very funny and he shared a lot with his family and friends," Bunday said. "He always had a smile on his face and would always make a fool out of himself to make us laugh."
When contacted by a reporter, Lee's family declined comment.
Klimek said he would not perform an autopsy on Lee because he wants to honor and respect the Hmong tradition, which doesn't believe autopsies should be conducted on bodies. The Hmong culture opposes autopsies because it believes if a person's organs and tissues aren't intact, it would cripple a person in a second life, that person would not be able to return to his or her ancestors or that person could come back to harm family members, said Yia Thao, president of United Community Center.
Nerad said the middle school conducted business as usual on Thursday, though there was a "somber feeling and understandably so."
"Classes are being held, teachers are teaching classes, but I also observed kids who needed direct assistance," Nerad said, adding that about five counselors were at the school working with kids.
"There are people in need of help, and that help is being provided," Nerad said.

GERHARDT LEHMKUHL

J.G. Lehmkuhl, 83, Dies This Morning at Home 
Merchant And Business Leader To Be Buried On Monday 
J.G. Lehmiuhl, 83, merchant and business man here in the early days, first 
president of the Manitowoc Mutual Fire Insurance company, and lately living 
a retired life, died this morning at the family home, 1009 South 15th street. 
He had been in failing health for the last two years.
Death of Mr. Lehmkuhl removes from the community a figure prominent in the 
early days business life of Manitowoc, he having been engaged with the late 
W. F. Dicke in the mercantile and machinery business on Washington street. 
For 32 years he served as head of the insurance company that he helped to 
found in 1898 and when retiring he continued his affiliation by being named 
on the board of directors.
The deceased was born in the town of Newton in 1850 and after growing to 
manhood took up the teaching profession at the time that the late Judge Kirwan 
was county superintendent of schools. Locating in this city, Mr. Lehmkuhl 
decided to embark on a business career. He formed a partnership with the late 
W.F. Dicke and the firm of Lehmkuhl and Dicke established a general mercantile 
business at Tenth and Washington streets. 
Branched Out 
The firm branched out to engage in the farm machinery business and also sold 
sewing machines, pianos and organs and occupied the property extending south-
ward for a block.
The firm continued in business here until 1897, when Mr. Dicke went to Texas 
for his health. Then it was decided to dissolve the business. Mr. Lehmkuhl 
became interested in the insurance field and when the Manitowoc Mutual Fire 
Insurance company was organized in 1898. He became the first president of the 
company. 
In 1930, Mr. Lehmkuhl retired as head of the company and was succeeded by 
Joseph P. Staehle. 
Mr. Lehmkuhl was married in this city in 1876 to Miss Elizabeth Dicke who 
survives him with one sister, Mrs. E. M. Carstens, city, a brother, Henry, 
also of this city, and a number of nephews and nieces. 
Fraternal Leader
In the early days of Manitowoc Mr. Lehmkuhl took an active interest in civic 
and fraternal affairs. He was a charter member of the old Rankin Guards, one 
of the first military organizations in Manitowoc. He was also an honorary 
member of the Freier Saengerbund singing society. In addition he belonged to 
the Odd Fellows and the Royal Areanum. Back in the days when the schools of 
Manitowoc were under the control of the old district boards Mr. Lehmkuhl was 
a member of the board of the district that had charge of the West side high 
school and the grade schools. 
Funeral services for Mr. Lehmkuhl will be held Monday at 2 p.m. from the home 
on South 15th street and will be under the auspices of the Odd Fellow lodge.
The remains may be viewed at the Vogelsang funeral home until Sunday when they 
will be removed to the home.

LIZZIE (DICKE) LEHMKUHL

Elizabeth Lehmkuhl,  84; widow of J. G. Lehmkuhl, pioneer Manitowoc 
businessman, died Tuesday afternoon at the home, 1003 South 15th street.

Mrs. Lehmkuhl, nee Elizabeth Dicke, was born at Sheboygan Falls in 1854. 
When she was a girl of three, her widowed mother came to this city. 
After completing her schooling she established one of the first dress 
making establishments in the Manitowoc. She brought the first sewing 
machine to the city.
She was married to J. G. Lehmkuhl and the latter in partnership with 
W. F. Dicke, established the firm of Lehmkuhl and Dicke, which engaged 
in the general mercantile and machinery business at Tenth and Washington 
streets.
Mrs. Lehmkuhl training in business lines prompted her to continue active 
in the new firm.  She remained in the business until it was discontinued 
in 1897. The Lehmkuhls then moved to the residence on South 15th street.  
Mr. Lehmkuhl, who was one of the founders and for many years president of 
the Manitowoc Mutual Fire Insurance company, died in 1933.

of her life. Her diversions consisted of watching employees from the Aluminum 
Goods company plant go to and from work daily. In this way she established 
an acquaintance with scores of workers.
Mrs. Lehmkuhl is survived by three nephews, Drs. S. S. and G. G. Huebner of

EMELIE LEITERITZ

BREAK IN DOOR FIND WOMAN ON FLOOR DYING
Mrs. Amelia(sic) Leiteritz Suffers a Cerebral Hemmorhage
Found unconscious in her rooms at the home of Mrs. Berndt, 1026 South Thirteenth 
street when neighbors became alarmed at her non-appearance and broke in the door, 
Mrs. Amelia Leiteritz died at the Holy Family hospital last night, death being 
due to a cerebral hemorrhage. Mrs. Leiteritz had apparently suffered a stroke as 
she was preparing to retire for the night as she was only partly clothed and was 
found lying on the floor. Mrs. Berndt, at whose home she had rented the upstairs 
rooms, had seen her at about 9 o'clock Sunday evening. When she failed to appear 
the next morning she became anxious and at noon summoned assistance and entered 
the rooms to find Mrs. Leiteritz's unconscious form on the floor. She was removed 
to the hospital where she died without regaining consciousness.
Mrs. Leiteritz was 64 years of age and has made this city her home for many years, 
the family residing on Green street. Several years after the death of her husband 
she sold the home and took up her residence on South Thirteenth street. One brother 
is the only surviving member of the the family.

JOSEPH LEMBERGER

Joseph Lemberger Ends Life With A Revolver
CONDERN OVER LOSS OF WORK TOLD BY WIFE
Second Shipyards Worker In Month To End Life Due To Unemployment
Finding a revolver which his wife had hidden from him in fear that he would 
end his life, Joseph Lemberger, 49, shipyard worker, committed suicide Tuesday 
afternoon in the basement of his home, 905 Chicago street. His flat is in the 
rear of the Badger Hotel. He shot himself through the right temple with a .38 
calibre revolver and died while he was being placed on the operating table at 
the Holy Family hospital.
He was without steady employment the last few weeks, but previous to that had 
worked continuously. He had expressed concern over his ability to support 
himself and wife, but when his wife left for a short auto ride with Mrs. Edward 
Schreihart yesterday, he smilingly kissed her goodbye.
Lemberger was found by his wife on her return. He was breathing heavily, his 
head propped up against a box. Discovery was made when Mrs. Lemberger went to 
the basement to secure food for the evening meal.
Frank Poklinkoske, a son-in-law, slept through the shooting upstairs of the 
home. He is employed at the Crocker Brother garage on a night shift.
Was Laid Off
In earlier life Lemberger operated saloons at Grimms, and Antigo. For six years 
he was employed as a bartender for the late Adolph Schulze on Western Ave. For 
the past five years he was employed as a staging erector at the shipyards. When 
work became scarce Lemberger was laid off, and since then he worried considerably. 
His wife hid a revolver, which Lemberger had taken to a hardware store for 
repairs.
Dr. George Hoffmann was called and had Lemberger removed to the hospital in the 
ambulance. He breathed his last just as he was being carried into the operating 
room. Coroner Gerald Rau of Two Rivers, who also was called, decided that there 
would be no inquest.
The death of Lemberger marks the second suicide of a shipyards worker within a 
short period. Just a month ago yesterday William Ploeckelmann ended his life by 
hanging in the woodshed of his home here.
Born In Whitelaw
Lemberger was born in Whitelaw and spent his early life there. 
He was twice married. Two sons were born of his first marriage, Joseph and Edward, 
who reside in Chicago. In 1927 he was married at Antigo to Mrs. Amelia Winkleman 
of this city, who survives him with four brothers, Edward of Cato, Louis of Clarks 
Mills, Frank of Boyd, Wis., and George of Appleton, and six sisters, Miss Barbara 
Lemberger of Evanston, Ill., Sister Festina of Illinois, Mrs. George Schuh of 
Whitelaw, Mrs. Frances Heinrichs of Manitowoc Rapids, Mrs. Mary Neuser, city, and 
Mrs. Katie Heran of Hollandtown.
Funeral services will be held Friday at 9 a.m. from St. Boniface church. The remains
may be viewed on Thursday at the Wattawa, Urbanek and Schlei funeral home.
