Accident Occurs Saturday Evening North of Manitowoc.
Ralph G. Labensky, 34, of 903 S. 13th St. Manitowoc, became Manitowoc County's 
third auto accident victim of 1955 and the second with-in a week.

Trunk D and north of this city.

(There are several short paragraphs describing the accident and condition
of those involved but most after that is too light to read. Since an I could
find no obituary and it was customary to put it at the end of an accident
account, I believe that it was in the part that is too light. I also tried
to find it in a newspaper from the neighboring counties but couldn't find
it.)

CHRISTOPHER LADWIG    (d. 1921)

AGED MAN INJURED ARM CAUGHT IN SAW, MAY LOSE MEMBER
Chris. Ladwig, Former Bridge Tender, Meets with Accident While Workin with
Wood Sawing Machine Late Yesterday
Chris Ladwig an aged south side man and formerly employed by the city as 
tender on Eighth street bridge, may lose his arm as result of an accident 
late yesterday. Ladwig was taken to the hospital.
Ladwig was assisting a crew of men operating a wood sawing machine for B. 
Notz and in reaching under the saw to remove a splinter which had become
caught, his arm came in contact with the rapidly revolving saw and was 
terribly lacerated.
The muscles of the forearm were torn and deep cuts inflicted in the arm and
when examination was made physicians said that the injury was of so serious
nature that amputation of the arm might be necessary.
Mr. Ladwig is well known in the city and is a man past 70. He was for years
employed as tender on Eighth street bridge. His advanced age makes the injury
in case of amputation, more serious.

ATTACKED BY COW, AGED MAN IS INJURED
Attacked by a cow in a pasture near the city limits yesterday afternoon, 
Christian Ladwig(sic), aged 70, was trampled and severely injured before he 
succeeded in rolling under the wire fence and escaping the animal. Ladwig's 
plight was discovered by trainmen at the Calumet yards and the ambulance was 
summoned to remove him to the hospital where it was found he had suffered the 
fracture of four ribs and had a deep gash in the head as result of striking 
the fence. Owing to the advanced age of Mr. Ladwig his injuries are of serious 
nature but it was said today that unless complications set in he would recover.
Mr. Ladwig has been pursued by ill luck for some time. Two years ago he 
had the muscles of one arm torn and the bones shattered by coming in contact 
with a circle saw while at his work. Since that time he has been partially 
incapacitated. Mr. Ladwig had gone to the pasture yesterday to drive his cows 
home whein (sic) he was attacked by another animal in the field near the gate.

GEORGE H. LADWIG

George Ladwig Is Killed When Car Rolls on Him 
Crash Occurred Monday Night 
Vehicle Went Out of Control During Storm 
George H. Ladwig, 38, of Rt. 1, Mishicot, died instantly Monday night when he 
was pinned beneath his car as it rolled over on County Trunk Q, three miles 
north of this city.
Ladwig was pronounced dead by Dr. Theodore Teitgen, Manitowoc County coroner, 
at 8:30 p.m. 
The car had been traveling north in a heavy rain, according to county police, 
and apparently went out of control. It veered to the left side of the road, 
careened into a ditch and rolled over.
Ladwig was pinned beneath. His death was due to a crushed chest, Dr. Teitgen 
said.
County Offices Paul Schroeder and Jack Jackson described weather conditions 
during the accident as raining heavily. The road at that point is straight. 
Ladwig was the seventh person to die in a Manitowoc County Traffic accident 
this year.

HENRY LADWIG, FORMER COLOR SERGEANT OF H, DEAD
Influenza Claims Former Officer of Old National Guard Company Here
Influenza claimed as a victim, early this morning, Henry Ladwig, 
41 years of age, perhaps as well known to Manitowoc residents as 
any personage in the city. Nearly seven feet tall, and of robust 
and striking stature, the deceased was for years color sergeant 
of Company H, Second Wisconsin Infantry, W.N.C., at the time that 
Company H of this city was the color company of the Second Wisconsin 
regiment. Mr. Ladwig, by reason of his physique, assumed the role of 
“Uncle Sam” in numerous patriotic pageants and parades in Manitowoc 
in the last several years. He was taken ill with influenza a few days 
ago. He was apparently recovering when last Thursday, pneumonia set 
in and he failed rapidly, passing away at an early hour this morning 
at the family home, South Tenth and Green streets. 
The deceased was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Christoff Ladwig, and was born 
in this city on Aug. 7, 1877. He has always made his home here. He 
was married to Miss Minnie Schmidt, who with one son, Kenneth, one 
sister, Lillian and the parents survive. When Company H was reorganized 
here after the Spanish American war, Henry Ladwig was one of the first 
to enroll and when Company H was named the color company of the Second 
Wisconsin infantry, the deceased was appointed color sergeant. He 
continued as a member of Company H for seven years. For a number of 
years he conducted the White Front cafe on Washington street and for 
the last six years has been in charge of the cafe at Green and South 
Tenth street. The deceased was a member of the local Moose lodge. The 
funeral will be held Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock from the home on 
South Tenth street, with interment at Evergreen Cemetery.

HENRY LADWIG    (d. 1932)

HENRY LADWIG, 24, DIES TODAY AT MILWAUKEE
Marquette University Student Was To Have Resumed His Duties At School Today
Slipping on the floor and crashing through a window to plunge three stories
to a concrete pavement below, Henry Ladwig, Jr., 24 year old Manitowoc student
at Marquette university sustained a fractured skull shortly after midnight 
last night and died at 4:40 o'clock this morning, according to messages 
received here today from the Associated Press.
The plunge to the concrete pavement was witnessed by two other Marquette
university students in whose company Ladwig had been immediately before he
went to his death before he could be saved from the fall. The students told
authorities at Milwaukee that they had met young Ladwig during the day and
that he had come into their room during the evening to visit. They visited at
some length and Ladwig then went to his own room immediately adjoining. He
was apparently restless and was moving about in his own room so they went to
visit with hime until he was apparently ready to retire.
Shortly after midnight the students said, young Ladwig entered their room and
was walking past a window when his foot slipped from under him and he plunged
through the window to receive injuries which caused his death three hours
later.
Left Here Yesterday
Ladwig, a junior at the university, had returned to Milwaukee yesterday in
company with Alfred Green, a brother-in-law, and was to register for the coming
semester to begin today. He was in excellent spirits and elated at being able
to continue studies which had been interrupted by illness at intervals since
his graduation from the Lincoln high school here with the class of 1925.
First intimation that relatives in this city had of the tragedy was received
by Assistant Police Chief Edward Ladwig who was called at police headquarters
by Milwaukee police who conducted an investigation. The first call came in
early this morning and at 5 o'clock this morning another message was received
bringing information of the boy's death. The lad's father, Henry Ladwig, Sr.,
and his brother-in-law, Alfred Green, left this morning for Milwaukee to return
the body to this city.
Life-Long Resident
Henry Ladwig, Jr., was a life-long resident of this city and was born here on
June 18, 1907. He received his education in the grade and high schools here 
and later entered Marquette university in the college of Medicine. Ill health 
forced him to give up his studies for some time but he was sufficiently recov-
ered to again resume classes in the science department.
Besides his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ladwig, 940 N. Eighth street, immediate
surviving relatives are three brothers, Carl, William and Herman, all of 
Manitowoc, and five sisters, Misses Lillian and Mildred and Mrs. Alfred Green,
Manitowoc, and Mrs. Lyle Porter and Miss Helen Ladwig, Milwaukee.
Reports from Milwaukee this afternoon said that Coroner Henry Grundeman was
uncertain whether the death was due to accident, intimating that there had been
som drinking by four students in their rooms during the evening which might
have affected Ladwig's mind. Two of the boys said that Ladwig had raised the
window and jumped from it.

FATAL PLUNGE LAID TO LIQUOR (Body of M.U. Student Taken To Home in Manitowoc)
The body of Henry Ladwig, 24, Marquette student who plunged to his death from a 
third story apartment window early Thursday, was taken to his home in Manitowoc 
late Thursday. His father, Henry C. Ladwig, superintendent of the Lakeside 
Canning company of Manitowoc, claimed the body and explained his son had 
returned to Milwaukee Wednesday to re-enter Marquette as a premedic student 
after an absence because of illness. The youth, a nephew of Edward Ladwig, 
assistant chief of police in Manitowoc, leaped from the window of an apartment 
at 741 N. Fourteenth street while deranged from liquor, Coroner Henry Grundman 
reported. Police learned that after renting a room in the apartment building, 
Ladwig joined two other Marquette students and helped consume two pints of 
liquor. The students, Leslie Phillips of Delavan, Wisc., and Walter Plewe, 21, 
told police all three had been drinking and Ladwig became boisterous and was 
taken to the room of Al Cary, another student. With no apparent reason, Ladwig 
suddenly rushed to the window and leaped out, Phillips told police. The youth 
died of a fractured skull in the County Emergency hospital three hours after 
the leap.

From Der Nord Westen, 12 July 1900:
Death in a Sheboygan hospital on Fri. of Hermann Ladwig of typhus. 
The deceased was a son of Henry Ladwig who resides in the vicinity 
of Two Rivers. The body was brought here and buried Sun. in the city

MAY TAKE HIM UP
Grave of Herman Ladwig May Be Opened To Determine Cause of Death
There seems to be considerable diversity of opinion among physicians 
here and at Sheboygan, as to the cause which led to the death of 
Herman Ladwig, the Manitowoc boy who was treated at the Sheboygan 
hospital and died last week. It may result in the body being exhumed 
to settle the dispute and indicate the assertions of the attending 
physicians. 
A special to the Evening Wisconsin from Sheboygan, under date of July 
11 says: “A controversy has arisen as to the cause of the death of 
Herman Ladwig, a Manitowoc young man who died in Sheboygan last week. 
At Manitowoc the impression prevails that the young man died of lockjaw 
in terrible agony. This impression is not confirmed in Sheboygan though 
there are conflicting statements as to the cause of the young man’s 
death which is likely to result in the body being exhumed. The physician 
who had the case in charge says that the young man which infected the 
digestive organs. Another doctor, one of the leading physicians of 
Sheboygan who saw the case fourteen hours before death came says the 
young man died of mastoiditis and brain involvement, the result of an 
injury at Manitowoc five months ago. In this he says he is upheld by a 
leading physician of Manitowoc and another Sheboygan doctor while the 
doctor who claims that Ladwig died of bowel infection says he is upheld 
by two physicians of Sheboygan who saw the case. The young man had several 
teeth removed and others treated about three weeks before he died, but 
none of the Sheboygan physicians attribute anything from this as causing 
his death. 
Ladwig was injured on the head about five months ago while working in 
the woods near Manitowoc. A log fell striking a saw he was carrying and 
both struck him heavily on the head. He was treated at Manitowoc at 
first, and Dr. Fraser of that city said he could not be cured without 
an operation for abscess of the brain. He came to Sheboygan to be treated 
by Dr. Grimer about six weeks ago, he being told by the Sheboygan 
physician who formerly lived in the vicinity of Manitowoc that an 
operation was not necessary.”

OLGA LADWIG

LIFE ENDS IN YOUTH - LADWIG
Another young life has ended in its youthful promise, the Grim Messenger 
having entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Christ Ladwig, South Main street 
and claimed their daughter Olga. The death occurred at 8 o’clock this 
morning and was due to pneumonia. Deceased was born in this city seventeen 
years ago, and had been in poor health a long time. A few weeks ago her 
health failed completely and she grew weaker until obliged to take to her 
bed. Pneumonia set in and for days the light of mortality has flickered 
in its vain attempt to exist, the vital fluid growing less and less, until 
death extinguished the life light and earthly sufferings were ended. 
Besides the parents, two brothers and three sisters mourn for the loved one. 
The funeral will be held Friday afternoon from the Lutheran church.

RICHARD LADWIG

R. LADWIG IS A VICTIM UNUSUAL ACCIDENT; DIES
Worker on City Paving Contract Killed on N. 11th Street
Richard Ladwig, 38, residing at 808 So. Eighteenth street, was almost instantly 
killed this morning while employed on the paving work on city streets at Eleventh 
street and New York avenue. Mr. Ladwig was crushed under the hopper of a big 
concrete mixer when the cables holding the hopper gave way while the machine was 
being moved. The body was removed to the undertaking rooms of Urbanek & Wattawa 
Co. and will later be taken to the home.
ACCIDENT IS UNUSUAL
The accident is one of the most unusual say paving contractors. Mr. Ladwig was 
employed by the Manitowoc Construction Co., which has the contract for paving. 
The concrete mixer was not in use at the time, the hopper being raised on the 
cables while the machine was being moved a short distance on the work. Ladwig, 
it is thought, was attempting to block a wheel when in some manner the catch 
which held the cables of the hopper, gave way and the several ton weight fell 
upon him, crushing his life out. Fellow workmen rushed to the assistance of 
the unfortunate man and raised the hopper but found that Ladwig was dead.
The hopper was attached to the side of the machine opposite that from which 
Ladwig had been working and why the man had gotten around the machine at the 
other side does not appear. Coroner Kemper was summoned but it is not probable 
that an inquest will be held as the case was purely one of accident. There is 
no break in the cable, the mishap being due to the slipping or release of the 
clutch which held the cable of the hopper.
FIRST ACCIDENT CITY WORK
The death of Mr. Ladwig is the first fatal accident on city work here in years. 
Mr. Ladwig was formerly employed by H.C. Schuette, head of the Construction Co. 
when the latter was in the livery business and had worked for the company last 
year on paving. He had been employed at the Shipyards for some time and when 
paving operations reopened this spring returned to the Construction Co.
Mr. Ladwig is survived by a widow and three children, two boys and a girl, the 
youngest eight years old. His aged father, one sister and a brother also survive. 
Mr. Ladwig was employed with the Manitowoc Malting company, also, and was former 
secretary of the local Malters union.
Funeral arrangements have not been made. The accident is a sad one and the 
sympathy of the community will go out to the stricken family.
