HAROLD MAHNKE    (d. 1923)

SAFETY PIN BABE SWALLOWED IS CAUSE OF DEATH 
After suffering for three days with an open safety pin in his intestines, little 
Harold, the four-months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Mahnke, passed away at 
Holy Family hospital last night. 
The child swallowed the pin Monday night and was removed to the hospital. There 
an x-ray revealed the pin was in his stomach. An operation was performed in an 
attempt to remove it, but in the meantime the pin had passed down into the child’s 
intestines and where it was impossible to remove it.
It was expected for a few days that no serious effects would be suffered and that 
the child would get along nicely, but Wednesday night he took a turn for the worse 
and from then on his condition was critical. Death came at 8:20 last night.
It is said that the pin was used to fasten the baby’s bib to his dress, and the 
child caught up the edge of the bib and put it in his mouth, the pin becoming 
unfastened. 
The case is the first of its kind at the local hospital and is said by physicians 
to be very rare.
The funeral will be held at the Mahnke home, 504 Buffalo street, at 3 o’clock 
tomorrow afternoon. The Rev. Karl Machmiller will officiate at the services and 
burial will be in Evergreen cemetery.
The sympathy of the community is extended to Mr. and Mrs. Mahnke, the latter who 
was Miss Ida Giese of this city previous to her marriage.

DIED:
On Friday morning at his home in the city of Manitowoc, Joseph Mahnke(sic), 
aged twenty-four years.
The deceased had been ill for a long time and death was hourly expected during 
the past few days by the sorrowing relatives and friends. He had ordered his 
relatives to sell out his stock of boots and shoes, and probably intended to 
remove to some climate more congenial to his health. But it was too late, 
"death had marked him as its own." He was a young man of excellent habits and 
character; true to his friends and kind to all, he won the good will of all 
with whom he came in contact. His active nature and energy never allowed him 
to remain idle, and even during his illness he was anxious to do some kind of 
work. The afflicted wife and relatives are joined in their sorrow by a large 
circle of friends, whose sympathy they can be assured of.

FORMER CITY TREASURER IS DEAD
JOHN MAHNKE PASSES AWAY EARLY TODAY
End Came Peacefully As He Was In Sleep At Home After Month’s Illness
John Mahnke, Sr., former city treasurer, poor commissioner and sealer 
of weights and measures, died early today at his home 1302 So. Eighth 
street, the end coming peacefully as he was in sleep. His death 
occurred at 7:30 and life passed with the calmness and quiet that 
characterized Mr. Mahnke’s life, a serene, calm life that he had lived 
in Manitowoc since his birth 73 years. Mr. Mahnke had been identified 
with public life in critical capacity for many years and up to a year 
ago served the city as city sealer retiring because of failing health. 
For five months he had been confined to his home, most of the time to 
his bed and his death was not unexpected, though a shock to family and 
friends.

Born in this city May 29, 1855 Mr. Mahnke had spent his life in Manitowoc 
and was a man who enjoyed the confidence and esteem of the community. He 
served as a member of the county board from the First Ward and was later 
elected city treasurer in which office he served for four terms, eight 
years. He was elected City Poor Commissioner and it was during his term 
of office that the Mother’s Pension act was approved by the county board 
of operation, through his efforts largely, Mr. Mahnke appearing before 
the board in a plea for its adoption. His last service for the city was 
in the position of sealer of weights and measures from which he voluntarily 
retired when the duties became too arduous for his waning strength. Mr. 
Mahnke was married May 29, 1880 to Elizabeth May Hein who preceded him 
in death five years ago. He is survived by four sons, Frank and John of 
this city; Oscar of Racine; Eugene of Chicago and by one daughter, Mrs. 
Lester Lewis, of Los Angeles, Alif. Four grandchildren and a brother, 
Chas. of Sioux City, Iowa also survive. For many years Mr. Mahnke was a 
trustee of the First Evangelical Lutheran church of which he was a member 
and was active in the affairs of the congregation. Funeral on Friday. 
Funeral services for Mr. Mahnke will be held Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock 
from the First Evangelical Lutheran Church with the Rev. Koenninger 
officiating, with burial at Evergreen. The passing of Mr. Mahnke will bring 
keen sorrow to the community which knew and admired him for his upright 
life and high character. He was widely known and universally esteemed.
