GEORGE MCFARLANE   (d. 1880)

Mr. McFarland (sic) is still lying in a very critical condition. 
His sons, from Racine and Cincinnati are both with him.
Mr. McFarland died this Thursday morning.

DIED: MCFARLANE—At his residence in the city of Manitowoc,
June 3rd, 1880, George McFarlane, aged 55 years, 2 months and 9 days.
The above announcement will be sorrowfully received in this community and by 
the friends of the deceased everywhere. The accident that led to the death of 
the deceased makes the melancholy event unusually painful, to the residents 
of the north side of the city.
The deceased was employed as janitor of the north side school house, and had 
ascended to the roof of the building for the purpose of helping adjust the 
lightning rods upon the cupola of the building. He had succeeded in making the 
adjustment, and while descending missed his footing, fell a distance of some 
ten or twelve feet, fracturing two of his ribs, and receiving other internal 
injuries. He suffered great pain for some three weeks when death mercifully 
stepped in and gave him eternal rest.
Mr. McFarlane was a native of Kilmornock, Agoshire, Scotland, a worthy example 
of the sterling moral worth, industry and virtue, that generally characterize 
the sons of Caledonia.
In the spring of 1858 deceased left Scotland and came direct to Manitowoc with 
his bereaved wife, where he has resided ever since.
He leaves a wife and four children, three sons and a daughter, on whom this 
heavy blow falls with crushing force. The family were all present at the bedside 
at the time of the death of deceased except the son George. Two of the sons, 
John and Wallace, are printers and are well known, having learned the art here, 
and in whom we have more than an ordinary interest.
In the death of Mr. McFarlane the community loses a valuable, upright, honest 
citizen whose example might be profitably followed by those who knew him, his 
bereaved wife and family all that could be deserved as a dutiful, affectionate 
and indignant husband and father, and his friends and relatives a trustworthy 
friend.
To all we tender our sincere sympathy and condolences, and hope that when our 
end comes that we may be able to enter the dark portals of death with as enviable 
a character had and as much respected in the community as the departed was.
The funeral services will take place on Sunday next.

DEATH CLAIMS ROB'T MC GAVIN
Pioneer Who Was One of Best Known in City, Succumbs to Age
Death claimed another of the early pioneers of the city today when Robert McGavin, 
after a pilgrimage of eighty-four years, completed his life's journey and passed 
to final rest. Mr. McGavin's death occurred at his home on Cleveland Avenue and 
was due to a general breaking down due to advanced age. his early death had been 
forecast by his condition for several weeks past.
Robert McGavin was one of the best known residents of the city and he was held in 
kindly affection by a host of friends. A native of Scotland, Mr. McGavin was born 
at Killmarnok on March 24, 1826 and his early life was passed there. In 1852 he 
came to Manitowoc County, locating in this city where he engaged as a painter and 
followed the trade up to twenty years ago when advancing age led him to retire. Mr. 
McGavin was one of the pioneer members of the Odd Fellows Order in the city and 
one of the oldest members of the society in the state, having been affiliated with 
Chickerming Lodge for forty-eight years. He was active in the work of the lodge in 
his earlier days and in later years was a faithful attendant upon all meetings and 
retained his interest in the Order to the time of death. The funeral Monday will be 
in charge of Chickerming lodge.
Mr. McGavin's wife died three years ago and he never recovered from the shock of her 
death, the loss resting heavily upon him. A family of seven children survive, five 
daughters and two sons, Mrs. Wm Swain, Washington D.C., Mrs. J. Thomas, Chicago; 
Mrs. A. Donaldson and Mrs. Otis Hare, Milwaukee; Mrs. Wm Willott Jr., this city and 
William and John McGavin of Chicago. After the death of his wife, Mr. McGavin for a 
time visited with his children at Chicago but returned here later and insisted upon 
occupying his own home. When he suffered the fatal attack it was the intention to 
have him removed to the hospital but physicians advised against the move and he was 
tenderly cared there. The funeral will be held from the late home Monday at 2. 
Chickerming Lodge will meet Sunday afternoon at Frazier's Hall to arrange for the 
service.

BERTHA MCGLYNN

Following a several months illness, Mrs. McGlynn, 63, (photo) of 719 South 
16th street, widow of U.S. Grant (Stoney) McGlynn, famous "Iron Man" of 
baseball who died here late in August, died Sunday at the home here. Mrs. 
McGlynn was seriously ill at the time of her husband's demise, being a 
patient at the Holy Family hospital.
Funeral services will be held Tuesday at 2 p.m. from the Leschke funeral 
home, the Rev. Paul Blaufuss officiating. Burial will be in Evergreen 
cemetery.
Mrs. McGlynn, nee Bertha Bouaum, was born at Carlisle, Pa., in 1878 and 
in 1895 was married to Mr. McGlynn at Harrisburg, Pa. At that time "Stoney" 
McGlynn was at the height of his major league career as a pitcher for the 
Boston, New York and Philadelphia clubs of the major leagues. In 1901 he 
was signed by the St. Louis Cardinals of the National league where he had 
his best pitching years.
Later the McGlynns located in Milwaukee when Stoney was a pitcher for the 
Brewers, and came to Manitowoc in 1912, when Mr. McGlynn became a pitcher 
for the Manitowoc club of the old Lake Shore league.
Mrs. McGlynn was a member of the Germania Society. The members will meet 
at the funeral home tomorrow afternoon at 1:15 to attend the funeral.
Survivors are two daughters, Mrs. J.A. Isselmann of this city, Mrs. John W.

ULYSSUS S. GRANT MCGLYNN

McGlynn, Baseball's Noted Iron Man, Dies
U.S. Grant (Stoney) McGlynn, 69, who won fame and the nickname "Iron Man" in 
a long and colorful career in baseball, died at 1 o'clock this morning at his 
home, 719 S. 16th street, after an illnes of four weeks.
Mr. McGlynn, who was employed by the Aluminum Goods Manufacturing Company for 
15 years since his retirement from the game, was taken ill July 29. He had been 
confined to his bed for the last two weeks. His widow, seriously ill, is a 
patient at Holy Family hospital.
Funeral Friday
Funeral services will be held Friday morning at 9 o'clock at St. Boniface church, 
the Rev. J.H. Schmitt officiating, and buriral will take place in Evergreen. The 
body may be viewed at the Leschke Funeral Home from Wednesday noon until the hour 
of the funeral and the rosary will be recited there Thursday evening at 7 o'clock. 
Edward L. Kohls, funeral director, is in charge of the services.
McGlynn, as a nickname "Iron Man' implies, was one of baseball's most durable of 
pitchers. His penchant for pitching both games of doubleheaders earned him the 
soubriquet after sports writers heard of the arguments McGlynn had with his 
managers when they refused to let him pitch two games in a single afternoon.
McGlynn reached the big leagues soon after completing his high school education 
at Lancaster, Pa., where he was born May 26, 1872. After a short stretch with the 
Lancaster semi-pro nine, McGlynn joined the famous Baltimore Orioles whose roster 
included the now immortal ballplayers such as John McGraw, Hughey Jennings, Wilbert 
Robinson and Joe McGinnity. His big league career took him to the Boston Braves, 
New York Giants, St. Louis Cardinals and the Philadelphia Nationals.
Pitched 16-Inning Tie
A high spot in his career was reached in 1904 as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals 
when he pitched 16 innings against the Chicago Cubs, a game which was ended by 
darkness with the score tied 1-all. Each team scored a run in the ninth inning. 
Overall was the Chicago pitcher and the umpire was Hank O'Day. One of McGlynn's 
treasured possessions was a memento of that game, a silk sofa cushion cover on which 
is a photgraphic reproduction of the box score of this famous contest.
There are evidences of McGlynn's sturdiness on the mound. He pitched 77 games in a 
single season for York, Pa., in the Tri-State league, losing but seven games. That 
was just prior to his purchase by the St. Louis Cardinals. He pitched 13 shoutouts 
for the Milwaukee Brewers and set an all-time American Association record by toiling 
446 innings on the mound-almost 50 complete games.
When McGlynn was a member of the Baltimore Orioles in the old Brotherhood days, there 
were 12 teams in the league. Each team carried but three ptichers and the hurlers 
expected to work two or three times a week. The pitching mound was only 56 feet from 
home plate and the pitchers developed terrific speed. Stoney had joined the club as 
a catcher but the pitchers on the team were going bad and McGlynn, who had a powerful 
arm, took a turn on the mound. He never went back of the bat again.
Joined Cards in 1901
From Baltimroe he went successively to Boston, New York and Philadelphia. Differences 
with the (Continued on Page 2, Col. 4)
McGLYNN, IRON MAN OF BASEBALL, DIES (continued fromPage 1)
manager of the Phillies, Hughey Duffy, led McGlynn to ask to be sold or optioned 
elsewhere. The club sent him to Shreveport of the Southern league. The heat was too 
much for him and moved north after a season or two, hooking up with York in the 
Tri-State league. His record of 77 wins against 7 defeats attracted the attention 
of "Honest John" McCluskey, manager of the St. Louis Cardinals,and he sent McGlynn 
an offer. Stoney joined the Cards in Pittsburg at the end of the Tri-State season. 
He won his first game despite the handicap of a uniform which enveloped him like a 
tent. His victory also clinched a salary argument he was having with the club and 
he was ordered to report to the team several weeks later in New York. That was in 
the season of 1901. In New York he faced the Giants and although he allowed but two 
hits he was beaten 2 to 1.
Before the Cardials (sic) returned from their eastern road trip, St. Louis papers 
were singing the praises of the new pitcher. But the papers had him billed as a 
lefthander and even published pictures showing him throwing southpaw styles. St. 
Louis fans expected to see a youngster take the mound but were surprised to see a 
righthander well along in his thirties go to the hill. Stoney soon won a place in 
the hearts of the fans and remained at St. Louis until the summer of 1909. He was 
then on his way to a new National league record, having won his first six starts 
without a defeat. Fate intervened. In fielding a bunt in a game against Chicago he 
fell and broke his wrist. That ended his major league career.
Went To Brewers
The Milwaukee Brewers, managed by McGlynn's old boss, McCloskey, were in the thick 
of the American Association fight and bought McGlynn. He remained there until 1912 
when he was sold to Mobile, Ala. He refused to go south and listened to a plea of 
Manager Jack Herzog to come up to Manitowoc and pitch for the local club in the Lake 
Shore League, a semi-pro circuit. His first game was a 6 to 1 win over Sheboygan, 
incidentally  Manitowoc's first win of the season over its Chair City rival. He 
stayed on here through he next season. Then his old boss, McCloskey, managing Salt 
Lake City in a western circuit, sent him an "S.O.S."
McCloskey hopped a train and came here to persuade McGlynn to leave. He offered him 
$700 to finish the season but McGlynn would not accept until after Jack Herzog had 
given his consent, this despite the fact that Manitowoc had no legal claim to Stoney's 
services. Stoney became a hero at Salt Lake City, ptiching the club to a pennant. He 
remained there for another year and in 1915 was at El Paso in the Texas league. The 
league blew up July 4 and he returned to Manitowoc to stay. He pitched semi-pro ball 
here until 1931. His last appearance on the mound was at Valders. He struck out the 
side in the first inning but after allowing three runs and loading up the bases with 
none out in the second inning. Stoney took off his glove, walked off the diamond and 
said he was through. His son, Charles ("Young Stoney"), finished the game.
Coached At Illinois
In between his professional contracts, McGlynn found time to coach baseball at the 
University of Illinois for two years.
As an employe in the shipping department at the Aluminum Goods Manufacturing Company, 
he managed the firm's baseball team for many years. He organized the Manitowoc County 
league and served as presidnet of the circuit for three years. About 1934, McGlynn was 
honored at an old-timers' game at the Milwaukee Brewer ball park, the occasion being a 
barnstorming appearance by the great Babe Ruth. Stoney fanned the Bambino who later 
posed for a picture with the old "Iron Man." (This picture is reproduced on the sports 
page of tonight's Herald Times). About four years ago, a testimonial banquet for 
McGlynn was held by the Junior Chamber of Commerce.
On Sept. 12, 1895, Mr. McGlynn married Miss Bertha Bousum at Harrisburg, Pa. She 
survives with one son, Charles G., city; two daughters, Mrs. J.A. Isselmann, city; 
and Mrs. John W. Roeseler of Houston, Tex., whose husband is stationed in Iceland 
with the United States Marines; one sister, Mrs. D.S. Reitzel of Enola, Pa., and 
three grandchildren.

WALTER MCINTOSH

MACHINE SHOP HEAD AT YARDS DIES AT DESK
Walter McIntosh Stricken By Heart Attack; Funeral Will Be On Friday 
Seated at his desk in the office of the machine shop at the shipyards late 
Tuesday afternoon, Walter McIntosh, superintendent of the shops for the 
Manitowoc Shipbuilding corporation, was stricken with a sudden heart attack 
and was dead when medical aid reached him. Mr. McIntosh had returned to the 
yards only two hours before after eating a hearty dinner at his home, 523 
South 25th street. 
For more than 14 years, Mr. McIntosh filled a superintendent’s berth for the 
Manitowoc Shipbuilding corporation. He was here for a number of years during 
the war, when the yards were engaged in an intensive shipbuilding program for 
Uncle Sam, left here to locate at Gary, Ind., and then returned to Manitowoc 
to again take a position at the shipyards. 
Mr. McIntosh had not been in the best of health for several weeks, but he 
refused to remain at home, continuing to go to his desk at the yards even when 
his wife and physician sought to have him remain at home. Examination of the 
body yesterday afternoon after his death revealed that Mr. McIntosh had suffered 
from enlargement of the heart.
Rau’s First Case
Dr. Gerald Rau, Two Rivers, the new county coroner, was notified but decided 
that no inquest was necessary. It was the first case for the new county official. 
The deceased was 61 years of age having been born at Pasly, Scotland. He was 
brought up and educated in Scotland and was married there to Emily Newman. Thirty-
two years ago Mr. and Mrs. McIntosh (Continued on page 15) 
MACHINE SHOP HEAD AT YARDS DIES AT HIS DESK TUESDAY 
(continued from page 1) 
came to America and the first position he filled was in an executive capacity 
in the yards of the Union Iron Works, a large ocean shipbuilding plant at San 
Francisco, Calif.
Still later Mr. McIntosh became master mechanic for the Illinois Central, which 
position he filled for a number of years. During the war Mr. McIntosh was secured 
by the Manitowoc Shipbuilding corporation to take charge of the machine shops here 
where he remained for a few years and then left to locate with the American Bridge 
company at Gary, Ind.
Leaves A Widow 
After a three-year period there he returned here when the shipbuilding corporation 
embarked in other lines of work including the rebuilding and reconditioning of 
locomotives and freight cars. This work was undertaken in the big machine shops at 
the yards, under the supervision of Mr. McIntosh.
Mr. McIntosh is survived by his widow and three brothers and three sisters. All the 
latter are living at Birmingham, England. They were notified by cable of the death 
of their brother. 
Funeral services for Mr. McIntosh will be held Friday at 2 p.m. from the home, 523 
South 25th Street, under the auspices of the Masonic lodge of which the deceased 
was a member. 
Interment will be at Evergreen cemetery.

REUBEN MCKEOUGH

R. A. MCKEOUGH, MILWAUKEE, WELL KNOWN HERE, VICTIM OF LOCKJAW, ACCIDENT WEEK AGO 
Milwaukee Man Has Foot Crushed Under Car He Attempted to Board and 
May Sacrifice Life to Desire to Save Foot–
Condition is Reported to be Grave Today.
Lockjaw which has developed from an injury he suffered a week ago, may cost the 
life of Reuben A. McKeough, of Milwaukee, a brother of A.H. McKeough, Marshall 
street, this city, and well known here where he visits frequently. Messages 
received today summoned relatives to Milwaukee where McKeough is reported to be 
in critical condition at a hospital there. A. H. McKeough, his brother, and Ald. 
Thomas McKeough, are at Milwaukee.
Mr. McKeough, who was married in this city three years ago, coming here with his 
bride-to-be from Milwaukee for the ceremony, had his foot badly crushed a week 
ago when he was thrown under a car of a St. Paul train which he was about to board. 
He was removed to a hospital and physicians advised amputation of the foot but Mr. 
McKeough, told that there might be a chance to save the foot, insisted upon delaying 
the amputation. A Chicago specialist was called in and took charge of the case, in 
belief that amputation could be avoided. 
Reports from Milwaukee were encouraging until yesterday when messages reached here 
that Mr. McKeough’s condition had become alarming as a result of lockjaw which had 
developed and relatives were urged to come at once.

ACCIDENT HE MET WITH TEN DAYS AGO COSTS FORMAL LOCAL MAN HIS LIFE, MILWAUKEE 
R. A. McKeough, Native of Kossuth, is First of Family of Nine Children to Die 
and Aged Parents are Still Alive—Burial to be in This City Tuesday
Reuben A. McKeough, former Manitowoc county resident and contracting freight agent 
for the Chicago and Northwestern Railway company at Milwaukee, who was injured ten 
days ago, died at the Milwaukee hospital Saturday. The body will be brought here 
for Burial, arriving from Milwaukee this evening. Funeral services will be held 
from the home of A.H. McKeough, 1201 Marshall street, tomorrow afternoon.
Mr. McKeough’s death was due to lockjaw which developed from the injury in which 
his foot was crushed under a car ten days ago when he was thrown under the train 
while attempting to board it. Physicians hoped to save the foot and amputation was 
not attempted. For several days Mr. McKeough’s life had hung in the balance and 
hope was abandoned Friday, when lockjaw set in.
Deceased was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael McKeough, pioneer residents of Kossuth, 
both of whom are living. He was reared here and later attended and graduated from 
Lawrence college at Appleton, Locating at Milwaukee about fifteen years ago and 
entering the employ of the Northwestern road. 
Mr. McKeough’s death is the first in a family of nine children, seven boys and two 
girls, and his parents are also living. The news of the death of their son was a 
great shock to the aged couple and fears are entertained for them.
Mr. McKeough was married in this city three years ago and with his wife resided at 
Milwaukee. He was formerly chief clerk in the offices of the Northwestern at 
Milwaukee but was recently promoted to become freight agent of that city. Though he

child’s body being recovered after forty minutes but too late to resuscitate her 
though physicians worked over the little form for three hours or more in hope 
that life could be restored. The body was taken to the home at Ninth and York 
street and the funeral will be held from the house tomorrow morning at 9 o’clock 
Rev. Sheppley officiating.
With an older sister and other playmates the child had been playing about her home 
which is within a block of the river and the little ones had wandered to the dock 
in their games and while running along the dock in her play little Vivian suddenly 
disappeared over the dock into the water. Her sister, realizing the danger made an 
attempt to reach the child from a boat moored at the dock and then rushed to the 
Hall Bros. offices to summon help and in the meantime a number of persons who heard 
the cries of the children and witnessed the commotion on the dock, rushed to the 
scene. George Kunz, who was on the opposite side of the river, crossed in a small 
launch from which the body of the child was later recovered by Officers Carle and 
Ludwig and Charles Schumacher. A peculiar feature of the accident is that the 
child’s body did not rise to the surface after going down the first time and this 
interfered with the work of recovering it.
Every effort was made to hasten the work of rescue and but for an unfortunate 
circumstance the child might have been saved from death. After the rescuers had 
been working for fifteen minutes, the hooks of the drag being used caught the 
child’s dress, it was thought the body would be brought to the surface but in some 
unaccountable manner, the body was released before reaching the surface and again 
sank and it was nearly thirty minutes later before the body was again secured and 
this time brought into the boat. 
Drs. Meany, Gleason, Roberts and Westgate who were present immediately joined in 
an effort to resuscitate the child but after forty-five minutes the attempt seemed 
futile and the body was removed to the home where another effort was made but 
without result.
Had the first efforts to recover the child been successful 15 minutes after the 
accident, there is every hope that her life could have been saved, but after forty 
minutes, it was impossible to revive the child. The accident is one carrying a heavy 
burden of sorrow in to the McMullan home and the sympathy of the public will be 
extended to the bereaved family. Little Vivian was a bright and lovable child and 
had just been enrolled at the kindergarten schools of the city. Mr. McMillan is 
associated with W. E. Pellet in the firm of Pellet & McMillan.

CORONER’S INQUEST ON ACCIDENT 
Inquest Held Over Death of McMullan (sic) Child in River.
PROBE REPORT GIRL WAS PUSHED OFF DOCK 
To probe into reports that the child was pushed from the dock into the river and to 
establish cause of the accident, a coroner’s jury is investigating the death of 
Vivian McMullan, the 5-year old girl who lost her life in the river Saturday. Since 
the accident a report has been current that the little girl was pushed from the dock 
into the river and the district attorney decided to call an inquest to investigate. 
The inquest is being held before Justice H.F. Kelley.
Sylvia McMullan, 7 year old sister of the dead girl who was playing on the dock with 
her and a boy companion, was the most important witness in the inquest and in her 
testimony declared upon cross examination by Justice Kelley that her sister had been 
pushed twice. On cross examination by E.L. Kelley, who appeared for the boy whose name 
is mentioned in the case, the child seemed confused and less certain in her statements 
at the time of the terrible accident-said she had seen the boy’s arms pulled back as 
would be the case had he pushed the girl and then her sister fell into the water. The 
girl said the children had been playing on the dock and in the wood yard in the rear 
of Torrison’s store. In her first statement the child said “I didn’t see her when she 
fell but saw her touch the water.”
The boy who was playing with the McMullan girls, said that the child fell from the dock 
while running along the edge and said that he was not near her at the time the accident 
happened. The boy said he was seated upon a log considerable distance from the girl at 
the time the accident happened. The boy said he was seated upon a log considerable 
distance from the girl at the time and was clear and positive in his statements.
Oliver McMullan, father of the dead girl, testified to statements made to him by his 
daughter Sylvia that her sister had been pushed from the dock but said he had no personal 
knowledge of the accident. Hans Carlson, a shoe maker for the O. Torrison Co. noticed 
the children at play but could throw but little light on the case, though he said it 
was his recollection that the two girls were playing together and the boy was alone 
and not with them.
Jay Hall who was called as a witness testified that as he left his office to go to the 
scene of the accident, he overheard a woman remark, “I’ll venture that that boy pushed 
her in” and the rumors which have been current may have been the result of this remark, 
being repeated and exaggerated.
Dr. Meany and others were called relative to the recovery of the body and efforts to 
revive the girl. The inquest was still in session at 4 o’clock this afternoon but will 
probably be complete today…

MEETS DEATH IN RIVER.
On Saturday afternoon while playing on the dock behind the Torrison Co. warehouse, 
Vivian McMullen, the five year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver McMullen, fell 
into the river and was drowned. The child with her seven year old sister had left 
their home on the corner of Ninth and York streets but a few minutes before and 
went down to the dock where in company with another boy they amused themselves by 
throwing chips in the water. In some manner the McMullen child lost her balance 
while standing near the edge of the dock and fell headlong into the river. Her 
sister ran screaming from the place but it was not until she got to her home, more 
than a block away, that she made herself understood as to the cause of the trouble. 
Among those first to arrive at the dock were George Crehore, H.C. Berndt, George 
Kunz, Chas. Schmuacher and Dr. Jos. Jirikowic. George Crehore dove into the water 
several times and made a great effort to find the child but without success. In the 
meantime Herman Berndt and Chas. Schumacher looked for a boat but there wasn't one 
to be found near the place. They finally secured one west of Tenth street bridge and 
rowed to the place of disaster and after a short time the body was raised to the 
surface of the water with a pike pole by Chas. Schumacher. The child was in the water 
forty minutes. Doctors Meany, Westgate and Roberts were at the dock and endeavored 
to resuscitate the child but their efforts were of no avail.
A coroner's jury was empanelled to inquire into the cause of the death, __esday, 
reports having been circulating that the child had been pushed into the river by 
the Hall boy. The jury viewed the body and inspected the scene of the accident 
Tuesday morning and then adjourned until the afternoon when the taking of testimony 
was begun. A number of witnesses were examined by Dist. Atty. Healy representing the 
state and E.L. Kelley who appeared for the boy. After hearing and considering the 
testimony the jury returned a verdict of accidental death.
The funeral of the child was held __esday morning at 9 o'clock, interment being in 
Evergreen cemetery. The bereaved parents have the sympathy of the entire community 
in their __ction.
