compliance with this request that the body has been shipped from France. 
Shortly before the official report of the death of Sergt. Monk reached 
here, the War Department issued a notice saying that efforts would be 
made to return the bodies of dead American soldiers where relatives made 
request and Louis Monk, father of the dead boy, immediately forwarded a 
request that his son’s body be sent home. Messages received this week 
said that the body of Sergt. Monk had been forwarded from France and 
reached the United States it would be sent to Manitowoc. Today Mrs. 
Louise Creviere of Kaukauna, a sister of Sergt. Monk, arrived in the 
city to complete arrangements for the receiving of the body and for 
burial. Mrs. Creviere and her husband who accompanied her, had no 
definite information as to the time the body would reach here but from 
the message of the War Department expects that it will not be long 
delayed. It is probable that arrangements will be made to give Sergt. 
Monk a military burial, with Company F. Home Guard, as an escort. Many 
of the boys who served overseas and have returned will also attend the 
funeral. Sergt. Monk served with the Eighty-third division and the last 
heard from him was a letter written a few days before his death from the 
front lines. In the letter to his father, who resides on Route 3 out of 
this city, he spoke of having escaped in the many engagements he had 
participated in and told of the work of his division at the front.

MILITARY RITES MARK LAST ACT IN TRAGIC LIFE 
The last act in a life marked by many tragedies will be enacted tomorrow when 
the body of Martin J. Monk, Manitowoc hero of the World War will be laid to 
rest with full military honors provided by his comrades of the overseas service. 
The body arrived this morning after having been shipped from France and the 
funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 1:30 from the Vogelsang undertaking 
rooms. Burial will be at Evergreen cemetery.
His was a pathetic story, crowned by heroism of a supreme sacrifice for his 
country. Born in this city twenty-four years ago, life a struggle from childhood, 
Monk married shortly before the war was declared and eight months later his wife 
passed away. Then came the call to arms and the youth crossed over with the 
United States troops and records of the war department show an intelligent and 
conscientious service in which he was twice wounded, recovered and returned to 
the line of battle and was in the Argonne forest three weeks before the armistice 
was signed when he received his death wound. 
Little is known of the last battle. Letters received a short time previous to 
news of the death of Monk spoke of the horrors of war but expressed hope of an 
early return to be with his aged father here. News from the war department of 
the death of his son proved a shock to the father and delay, due to the inability 
of the government to send the body home for burial caused worry to the aged man 
which is believed to have unbalanced his mind and to have been the cause of 
suicide a year ago. 
Private Monk is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Donald Shinohn of Edgar, Mrs. J. 
Creviere, Kaukauna and one brother, Daniel, of Waukesha. The official record shows 
that death occurred on October 23, 1918. The body is the nineteenth to be returned 
to this city from overseas and it is reported that ten more are to come, a grim 
reminder of the toll which the war exacted from the community.

wounded in battle and twice returned to his command. The third time, on Oct. 20, 
1918, he was killed. His young wife died while he was enroute overseas and his 
father, because of his inability to get his son's body home from France, committed 
suicide. He is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Donald Shinoha and Mrs. J. Creviere of 
Kaukauna and a brother, Daniel of Milwaukee.

ROBERT MONK

Robert Monk Second Man Lost, Not Seen Since he Left His Home to Make 
His Daily Rounds a Week Ago
With only a dollar in the house and no other means of support except 
a few chickens, Rosie, Tillie and Agnes Monk are left to shift for 
themselves by the strange disappearance of their father, Robert Monk, 
who has not been seen since he left home Saturday on his daily round 
to gather the refuse from saloons and so forth, which he gathered 
daily for feed for his chickens. No idea of where the father can have 
gone to is held by the three girls who are left alone in the world and 
without support. Herman Monk, a brother, who lives in Two Rivers has 
been seen and it was hoped that the father might have gone there—
although he had never before left home to go out of the city without 
telling his daughters where he was going, but he had not seen anything 
of his father. Another son was brought to the county asylum from Oshkosh, 
considered incurable, just a few days ago. This is the second unexplained 
disappearance in this city recently, Joe Petrosky who disappeared a few 
weeks ago not having been heard from since.

MONK'S BODY IN SHEBOYGAN RIVER
Manitowoc Man, Missing Since Thursday, Dead in That city
WAS DEATH SUICIDE OR DUE TO ACCIDENT?
Robert Monk, a Seventh ward man who has been missing
from his home since last Tuesday, lost his life in the
Sheboygan river in that city, the body having been
recovered Tuesday afternoon by Edward and George Kempf,
Sheboygan men who discovered it floating in the river.
The body was found near the new bridge which is being
constructed by Contractor W.E. Pellet of this city, and
one theory is that Monk was enroute to apply for work
with Mr. Pellet's crew. Monk's body will be brought to
this city for burial.
Monk left his home early Tuesday morning, July 20 and
his absence during the day occasioned no alarm but when
he failed to return that night and the next day, the 
matter was reported to the police with request that an
investigation be made. Search in the city failed to 
reveal a trace of the missing man and Sheboygan and 
other near by cities were advised of Monk's disappearance
and asked to be on the lookout for him. The message
from Sheboygan Tuesday afternoon that the body had been
found was the first clew to the where-abouts of the
missing man.
Monk's death is believed to have been due to an accident,
this theory being strengthened by the fact that a railway
ticket for the return trip from Sheboygan to this city
was found upon the body. It is argued that had Monk
intended to leave here or to end his life he probably
would not have purchased a return ticket. The ticket
was stamped July 20, the day that Monk disappeared and
it is supposed that he left town shortly after his 
departure from home. A small sum of money, a brass chip
of the Kestley saloon and a few trinkets were found on
the body. The coroner at Sheboygan ordered an 
investigation.
Nothing is known by the family as to what may have
prompted Mr. Monk to leave home and go to Sheboygan
but the fact that he appeared to have been enroute to
the camp of Mr. Pellet's workmen, supports the theory
that he may have been looking for work. He was 45 years
of age and had resided in this city for years. There
are three children surviving, his wife having been dead
for some time.
Jos. Monk, a brother of the dead man, departed for
Sheboygan immediately upon receiving news of the finding
of the body and as soon as the inquest is held, he will
bring the remains here for burial.

JOS. MONKA, 15, SUFFERS FROM LOSS OF BLOOD
Accident May Cost Loss of Leg If ???Boys Lives
Joseph Monka, Jr. 15, lies at Holy Family hospital fighting for life as result
of an accident at Silver Creek at 6:30 Sunday morning when he received a charge
of shot in the left leg above the knee. Monka's condition is due to the loss of
blood suffered while his companions were securing aid to rush him to the
hospital. He has a chance but the attending physician says that no effort has
been made to probe for the shot.
Gun Explodes, Hits Boy
With Walter Thompson, Walter Matte and Harry Fisher, all about his own age,
Monka had gone to camp at Silver Creek Saturday night, the four spending the
night in the open. They were up early Sunday morning and were practicing with
a shot gun when the accident occurred. The gun had jammed and one of the trio
had it across his lap attempting to make repairs when there was a sudden dis-
charge. Monka, who was standing in the direct path a short distance away, 
caught the charge in the leg above the knee. He fell and his companions,
frightened at the result of the accident, made desperate efforts to get assist-
ance to bring the boy to the hospital. A nearby farmer brought the boy to the
when he was advised of the conditions.
May Amputate Leg.
Monka is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Monka, Sr. and has one brother and three
sisters. The mother is a patient at a local hospital. Reports this morning were
that the youth had spent a fair night and that he has a chance for recovery. It
is not known whether it will be necessary to amputate the leg.

CALVIN MOORE

FATAL ACCIDENT
We learn that a painful accident occurred at the Rapids last Sunday, 
whereby a young lad named Moore lost his life through the criminal 
carelessness of another boy, some fourteen years of age. According to 
our informant, several boys were at play, when one taking up a gun, 
pointed it a little boy saying, "I will shoot you," the little fellow 
said 'no you wont;' and ran behind the boy Moore. The fellow then 
pointing at Moore said I will shoot you, at the same time pulling the 
trigger.
It seems there was no cap on the gun, and though the boy knew it was 
loaded, he thought it would not go off. The whole charge entered the 
boy's body, and he died at 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
When will people learn to put firearms out of the way of children, 
and when will people have a true sense of the danger there is in 
carelessly handling a gun as they would a walking stick? Almost every 
paper we take up, contains an account of a death from carelessness in 
the use of firearms. Pointing a gun at another, whether it be loaded 
or not, should be made a criminal offence, and every case prosecuted 
to the full extent of the law. In no other way can the practice be 
stopped.

Items From The Pilot Files - Fifty Years Ago (1862)
HORRIBLE ACCIDENT - A most melancholy accident occurred near the village of 
Manitowoc Rapids on Sunday last. The youngest son of Mr. John Moore, a bright 
and intelligent lad of 9 years, was accidently shot by one of his companions 
while out hunting for cows. The charge of shot entered his abdomen, leaving his 
intestines protruding. Several physicians were called in, all of whom agreed 
that death must ensue. He lived four or five hours, apparently sensible and 
without pain. The accident is the more sad from the fact that his father was 
absent from home at the time, and returned to find his boy a corpse. The family 
have the sympathy of all our people at this sad bereavement.

J. ROSS MOORE

Moore, Clothes Dryer Inventor, Is Dead at 77 
J. Ross Moore of 2008 Menasha Ave., inventor of the first domestic clothes 
dryer, died early Friday morning at Memorial Hospital after a lingering illness. 
He was 77.
“I couldn’t bear to see my mother, who was a school teacher at Devils Lake (N.D.), 
hang out clothes in such cold weather, so I rigged up a gasoline driven washer 
and a drying room in our home,” he recalled several years ago. This led to the 
eventual development of a mechanical device which successfully dried clothes and 
has sold in the millions. 
Mr. Moore was born at Villa Nova, Canada, Aug. 22, 1886, son of the late Thomas E. 
and Mary Clark Moore. He came to the United States in 1902 and married Arvilla 
Homan in 1907 at Devils Lake. The couple resided at Devils Lake until 1919, moving 
to Erie, Pa., and coming to Manitowoc in 1938.
First Model 
He attended Villa Nova schools and Hamilton Collegiate Institute, Hamilton, Ontario, 
Canada. It was his mechanical bent that led him into the engineering field and his 
desire to perfect a clothes dryer was stimulated by his desire to ease his mother’s 
burden when she had to hang clothes in the 40-degrees below zero temperatures at 
Devils Lake. He developed his first efficiently working model which was produced by 
a Minneapolis firm. 
When the company ceased to operate Moore temporarily was out of production, but a 
salesman suggested Hamilton Mfg. Co. of Two Rivers investigate the possibilities of 
manufacture. Its introduction by the Two Rivers firm gained public acceptance and 
the success of the venture was assured. 
Mr. Moore, a 32nd degree Mason, was a member of Manitowoc Lodge No. 65, F&AM; 
Barney G. Lyman Chapter No. 116, R&AM: Manitowoc Council No. 18; R&SM; Manitowoc 
Commandery No. 45, Knights Templar; Wisconsin Scottish Rite Bodies, AASR, Milwaukee; 
Two Rivers Shrine Club, Tripoli Shrine, Milwaukee, and Manitowoc Optimist Club.
List Survivors 
Surviving him are three sons, Milo, of Chattanooga, Tenn., James A., of Two Rivers 
and Robert R., of Seattle; two daughters, Mrs. W. O. Hickox, of Marshfield, Wis., 
and Mrs. Walter E. Hubbs, of Minneapolis; 10 grandchildren and five great grand-
children. Mrs. Moore died Sept. 13, 1955.
Funeral services will be at 1:30 p.m. Monday at Urbanek and Schlei Funeral home. 
The Rev. D.L. Wandschneider will officiate and burial will be in Evergreen Cemetery. 
Masonic services will be conducted at the funeral home following the burial rite by 
the Rev. Mr. Wandschneider.
Friends may call after 3 p.m. Sunday at the State Street entrance of the funeral 
home.

MISS MOORE    (d. 1873)

From the Files of the Pilot - Forty-Four Years ago (1873)
Miss Amanda Moore arrived in our city Saturday last from Marinette with the 
remains of her mother and sister for reburial in the family lot of our city 
cemetery, by the side of others gone before. She is, with the exception of a 
brother in Florida, in failing health, the last surviving member of the family 
of John Moore, deceased, an old and respected resident of this county. The 
mother and sister have, for the last few years resided in Marinette, Wis., 
where they died. The subject of this mention deserves great credit and the 
sympathy of all for this act of affectionate regard for her departed relations 
and more especially as she had accomplished it at an expense of over one hundred 
dollars, which she saved teaching school for the purpose.

PRESBURY WEST MOORE

P.W. MOORE, BANKER, PASSES AWAY ILL BUT A FEW DAYS, DEATH IS A GREAT SHOCK
Cashier of State Bank of Manitowoc Stricken At Hospital Early Sunday
Life's uncertainty was never more forcibly brought home to Manitowoc than 
Sunday when the annoucement of the death of Presbury W. Moore, cashier of 
the State Bank of Manitowoc, shocked the community in which he had been a 
resident for nine years to become one of the foremost business men of the 
city. Mr. Moore's death occurred at the hospital at 5:30 Sunday morning, 
less than twenty-four hours after he had been removed to the institution 
following a severe attack of stomach trouble he suffered three days 
previously.
Although intimate friends knew that Mr. Moore had been suffering from 
stomach complaint for the past few ????? ???? ??? his condition had at no 
time caused alarm and he was apparently little affected and seemed in robust 
health. Wednesday, however, he experienced an acute attack of his trouble 
and Saturday was removed to the hospital where ulcerations caused hemorrhages 
which resulted in death. It is probable that had Mr. Moore lived an operation 
would have been undertaken, but his condition early Sunday morning became 
alarming and the end came in a short time.
Native of Minnesota
Mr. Moore was a native of Minnesota, having been born at Herron Lake, that 
state, July 14, 1886 and being but 43 years of age when death claimed him. 
He was studious as a youth and after completing his school work, entered 
a bank for training for a business career in his home state. Later he located 
a claim in Montana and it was while in that state he married Catherine Miller, 
the widow who survives him. Returning to Minnesota Mr. Moore after some time 
in bank work and as cashier of the Mayo clinic at Rochester, was appointed a 
bank examiner and held that position until 1920 when he resigned to come to 
Manitowoc as cashier of the State Bank of Manitowoc. With his family he had 
since made his home here and had surrounded himself with a large circle of 
admiring friends and as looked upon as one of the substantial and outstanding 
business men of the city.
Active in Civic Affairs
During his residence here Mr. Moore had been active in civic affairs as a 
member of the Rotary club, the Elks, the Knight Templars and other 
organizations. He was a member of the Boy Scouts Council for several years 
and was serving in that capacity at time of his death, and his work for the 
Scouts had been performed with enthusiasm and that came from love of the boys 
and a desire to promote their welfare. He had given his personal efforts to 
boys in his own neighborhood and his death has left a void in the hearts of 
the youngsters who had enjoyed his counsel, companionship and benefactions. 
Mr. Moore had also taken a great interest in the Salvation Army and was a 
member of the advisory council of that organization in this county and 
treasurer of the board. In his business relations Mr. Moore was recognized 
for his keen insight, his successful administration and his uniform courtesy 
and was universally esteemed by all with whom he came in contact and who knew 
him.
Home and Family Ties
Although busied with his work Mr. Mooore's interest centered in his home and 
family where he will be sadly missed. He is survived by his wife and two 
children, West, aged 14 and Priscilla, 12.
Funeral services will be held from the home at 1333 Michigan avenue Wednesday 
afternoon at 2 o'clock.The servies at the cemtery being in charge of the Masonic 
order.

BARTLEY MORRIS

Bartley Morris, a farmer in Town Centerville, came to Manitowoc 
Saturday to sell a load of barley. About 6 o'clock in the evening 
he set out for home. As he approached the railroad crossing on 
Calumet Road, a ranger locomotive was going backwards from the 
Calumet Station to the Manitowoc Station. Morris believed that he 
could cross the tracks ahead of it. The horse made it across but 
the wagon was struck by the tender of the locomotive and smashed. 
Morris was thrown 30 feet. He was found unconscious and brought to 
Holy Family Hospital. An examination disclosed that he had a fractured 
skull and severe internal injuries made more serious by his age of 63. 
Morris is the father-in-law of Mr. Crowe, one of the operators of the 
local "Pilot". Yesterday morning death released him from further pain.

A FATAL ACCIDENT.
About 6 o'clock last Saturday evening Bartley Morris(sic) of Centerville, while on 
his way home from the city, met with a fatal accident the Calumet railway crossing 
west of the city limits. His wagon was struck by a switch engine in charge of 
Engineer Nels Knudson. Mr. Morris was thrown out of the wagon, and he sustained 
severe wounds on the head and several slight bruises about the body. The wagon was 
demolished, but the horses escaped injury.
The injured man, who, having sustained concussion of the brain, lay unconscious on 
the ground, was picked up the train crew and taken to the depot. Dr. Pritchard was 
immediately summoned. An ambulance was called and the injured man was taken to the 
Holy Family hospital, where he hovered between life and death until Wednesday 
morning at 8:15 o'clock, when the end came and he passed into the sleep that knows 
no waking.
Although at times he had seemed to rally slightly, he had never regained consciousness, 
and the physician had never held out any hope for his recovery.
Mr. Morris came to the city with a load of barley Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock. 
He started to return home shortly before 6 p.m., and fifteen minutes later the sad 
accident occurred.
Mr. Morris was born in the state of New York, December 23, 1843. He came with his 
parents to Manitowoc county in 1854, the family settling on a farm in the town of 
Newton when Mr. Morris was eleven years old. He had resided in the county ever since.
He was united in marriage to Miss Mary Ann Brady of Liberty, and the young couple 
settled in Centerville on a farm which consists of 120 acres and which is one of the 
finest farms in the county.
Mr. Morris was well to do. He was well known in the southern half of the county and 
was held in esteem by his neighbors and acquaintances. His was a kind disposition. He 
was ever ready to lend a helping hand to any one in need. His sad and sudden end will 
be deplored by many, and he will be missed in the community in which he lived.
Mr. Morris is survived by his wife, five children-two sons and three daughters, all 
grown up-two brothers, and one sister.
The funeral will take place Friday forenoon from St. Isadore's church at Osman, Rev. 
J.M. Phelan officiating and interment taking place at Osman (sic) cemetery. The Catholic 
Knights of Wisconsin, Branch 68, Meeme, of which organization Mr. Morris was an honored 
member, will attend the funeral in a body. The C.K. of Wisconsin societies of St. 
Nazianz, School Hill, and St. Wendel have also arranged to have a delegation from each 
society in attendance at the obsequeis.
May he slumber in peace! His memory will long be kept green by all who knew him.

RAIL CROSSING CLAIMS A VICTIM
Bartley Morris, Wealthy Farmer Run Down by C & NW Switch Engine
LITTLE HOPE FOR LIFE
Accident Happened Saturday Eve Just at Dusk -- Skull Fractured and Internal Injuries Result
Hovering between life and death with chances greatly in favor of death, Bartley Morris, a prominent, wealthy and widely known farmer of the town of Centerville, is at the Holy Family Hospital in this city as the result of serious injuries which he sustained in being run down by a Chicago & Northwestern switch engine and train on the Calumet road crossing at the west limits of the city on Saturday evening. The accident happened shortly after 6 o'clock and Morris was thrown a distance of thirty feet, suffering a fracture of the skull and internal injuries which makes recovery doubtful, the team escaped without injury.
Coming to the city at noon with produce, Mr. Morris was on his way home at the time of the accident. The switch engine n charge of Engineer Knudson and train foreman, Albert Schroeder, was running from the Calumet yards, the tender of the engine being at the head of the train, the engine following with several cars. Mr. Morris had reached the crossing and sought to cross in advance of the train.  The team had cleared the tracks when the engine struck the wagon nd demolished it.  The unfortunate man was thrown from his seat and carried a distance of thirty feet by the force of the blow, being picked up unconscious by members of the train crew who placed him aboard the engine and summoned the ambulance on arrival at the station.  Two persons were witnesses to the  accident, John Carle, son of Police Capt. Wm Carle who was on his way home from work and a Mr. Clark, and both rendered what assistance was possible. The train was not running at a very high rate of speed, it is said. Morris was caught when he attempted to pass the crossing before the train reached it and had whipped up his team with that in view. The wagon was struck in the forward end and Morris was hurled through the air. Parts of the wagon and pieces of the clothing of the injured man were found on the tender of the engine.
Mr. Morris is 63 years of age and has been a resident of the county the greater portion of his life and is well known in the city and all sections of this and adjoining counties. The family consists of wife and five children, three daughters and two sons, only one of whom resides here being Mrs. Crowe, wife of E.S. Crowe, editor of the Manitowoc Pilot. Three of the children reside in Chicago. Members of the family were notified of the accident immediately and Mrs. Morris and her daughter attended the injured man. 
Physicians attending the injured man report his condition as somewhat improved today but held out no promise of recovery. In addition to the fracture of the skull, internal injuries of serious nature were sustained and the body was badly mangled by contact with the tender of the engine and the terrible force of the fall when Morris alighted after being thrown thirty feet. Morris was unconscious for thirty-six hours after being taken to the hospital and regained consciousness for only a brief time early today. Several serious accidents, one, if not more, of which has resulted in the death of the victim, have occurred at the Calumet Road crossing and it is time that the town board of Rapids made a demand on the C & NW for some protection gates, a flagman or at least, an electric bell to sound the alarm when a train approaches.  At present the traffic over the track is greater than ever before and with the Green Bay extension service in full operation, it will be further increased.  The city is said to have taken the matter up at one time but had no authority as the crossing is outside the limits.

Order for Proof of Will.
STATE OF WISCONSIN, COUNTY COURT FOR MANITOWOC COUNTY.
In the Matter of the Estate of Bartley Morris, deceased. In Probate.
An Instrument in writing, purporting to be the Last Will and Testament of 
Bartley Morris of town of Centerville, in said County, having been delivered 
into said Court:
And Mary Ann Morris, of said town of Centerville in said county, having presented 
to said Court her petition in writing duly verified, representing, among other 
things, that said Bartley Morris died testate, at City of Manitowoc, in said County, 
on the 7th day of November, 1906; that said Instrument is the Last Will of said 
deceased and that Mary Ann Morris is named therein as Executrix, and praying that 
said instrument be proven and admitted to Probate and that letters testamentary be 
thereon issued to her, Mary Ann Morris.
It Is Ordered: That said petition and the matters therein be heard, and proofs of 
said Last Will and Testament be taken, at a special term of said County Court, to 
be held at the Probate office in the city of Manitowoc, on Tuesday, the 11th day of

And It Is Further Ordered: That notice of the time and place of said hearing be given

[Although there is no information associated with the burial to indicate it was 
moved from another cemetery, this burial is not listed in the burial register 
for 1906 or 1907. The lot diagram book has “1906” written next to the listing 
for Bartley Morris where his grave is drawn. This lot was originally purchased 
in the name of John G. Kelley on 7/3/1907 and then transferred to Barkley (sic) 
Morris on an unknown date (however, Bartley would have been deceased at that time). 
If you don’t include Bartley, the first burial on the lot was Baby Crowe in 1912. 
This was likely the grandchild of Bartley (probably child of Edward & Ellen 
(Morris) Crowe).  The next burial was Bartley’s wife, Mary Ann in 1924. So, I am 
guessing the burial of Bartley happened sometime between 1907 and 1912, since the 
baby is listed as being buried on the Bartley Morris lot./from cemetery office]

Mrs. Mary A. Morris of this city died Sunday at noon. Her sickness was of brief 
duration although for the past six months she was losing which may be attributed 
to growing years. She was born at Detroit, Mich., and was 78 years of age. Her 
maiden name was Mary Ann Brady and when she was only a child her parents settled 
in Liberty where she grew to womanhood and was married to Bartley Morris about 54 
years ago. They settled on a farm near Osman where they resided until the death of 
Mr. Morris in 1906. The farm was then sold and Mrs. Morris moved to this city 
where she has since resided making her home with her daughter, Mrs. E.S. Crowe. 
She was a very kind hearted woman and her unassuming honesty and good life made 
her many friends. Mrs. Morris was a woman of sterling character. Her influence in 
the home circle was always for good and her many virtues won her the respect of 
all who knew her. She was a woman devoted to her children and it was only in the 
domestic circle that her genuine worth shone in its full luster. Devoted to her 
church, her sympathies took wider range and she was honored and respected by all. 
There was a geniality about the surroundings of the old homestead at Osman which 
was a reflection of the happiness and content within. No greater tribute can be 
paid to the wife and mother than that her home was such in its highest and holiest 
sense. Mrs. Morris was an earnest woman in everything pertaining to duty and her 
character was cast in the mold of womanly sympathy. An affectionate and devoted 
mother has passed over the Dark River. Peace to her Soul.
She is survived by two sons, John of Battle Creek, Mich., and Joseph of Montana and 
three daughters, Dr. M.K. Rochelle and Mrs. Bert Perrin of Gardens, Calif., and Mrs. 
E.S. Crowe of this city. The funeral was held this morning from Sacred Heart Church, 
Rev. Luby officiating. Interment was in Evergreen cemetery.

Dr. William J. Morrisey, 57, (photo) president of the village of Reedsville and 
first vice-president of the Wisconsin State Dental society, died early Saturday 
evening at his home in the village.
Dr. Morrisey was taken seriously ill with a cerebral hemorrhage last Monday, 
after he returned to his home from his office for noon luncheon. He lapsed into 
unconsciousness, from which he never recovered.
The village had been active for many months on a $100,000 PWA project in Reedsville 
to give that communtiy a modern waterworks system and sewage disposal plant. Last 
month he drove to Milwaukee with members of the village board to consult PWA 
engineers. The car in which he was a passenger left the highway. Dr. Morrisey was 
badly shaken up but insisted his injuries were trivial and continued his dental 
practice and village activities. Physicians say this accident may have been a factor 
in Dr. Morrisey's death.

church, Reedsville. Interment will be in Evergreen cemetery in this city.

town of Maple Grove in 1880, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. James Morrisey. He 
attended the district school near the home and later enrolled in the Reedsville 
grades and high school. Entering the Oshkosh State Teachers college he was graduated 
from there and taught school for a few years in Manitowoc and Brown counties.
Deciding to take up the dental profession, Dr. Morrisey enrolled at the Chicago School 
of Dental Surgery. He was graduated in 1907 and opened a practice at Reedsville.
In his years of residence in Reedsville he took an active interest in civic affairs. 
He was a member of the Reedesville Business Men's club and the Reedsville Chamber of 
Commerce. Two years ago he was elected president of the village. Last spring he was 
re-elected without opposition.
Headed County Group
Dr. Morrisey was first vice-president of the Wisconsin State dental society, a past

Fraternally he was a member of the Manitowoc council, Knights of Columbus, with a fourth 
degree rank, the Maple Grove court, Catholic Order of Foresters and the Manitowoc lodge

Hugh Morrison of this city died on Saturday last after a brief illness. He was 
born in New Brunswick of Scotch parentage in 1820. While there he engaged in 
the work of lumbering along the rivers of that province and of Maine. This work 
developed his physical powers which were naturally great. When 39 years of age 
he came to Manitowoc and for some time followed his favorite pursuit of lumbering. 
Later he was on the police force and served as city marshal.
Mr. Morrison was a man of sturdy character. He disliked shams. Though not 
demonstrative his friendships were strong and he was highly respected by all 
who knew him.

MURDOCK MORRISON

Death claimed Murdock Morrison this morning after two years suffering with 
tuberculosis, having been confined to his bed the past six months. A severe 
attack of the flu had brought on the ravages which laid low the man of 
erstwhile robust health. He was a native of Canada, having been born at 
Whitneyville, Miramuchi, N.B., fifty-two years ago. For many years he 
followed the line of a teamster in the northern lumber camps. Fifteen years 
ago he came to this city, making his home here ever since. He was last 
employed at the Meany livery barns. Besides his wife he leaves his aged mother, 
two brothers and three sisters in his native country. The funeral will take 
place at the home, 813 South Thirteenth street Monday afternoon with interment

ROBERT MORRISON

MORRISON—At Cooperstown, in this county, February 31(sic) (January 31), 1877, 
Robert Morrison, aged seventy years.
Deceased was born at St. Stevens, New Brunswick, Oct. 24th, 1806, and during 
the earlier years of his life was a civil engineer. His eyesight failing him, 
he removed to this county twenty-one years ago. He was engaged in the lumbering 
business about four years, and then took up his residence in Cooperstown and 
went into the mercantile business, in which he has since been engaged until the 
time of his death. On the evening of the 3d he fell down stairs and fractured 
his skull, killing him immediately. The deceased was well known throughout the 
county, and was highly respected by all for his kindness of heart and his strict 
integrity.

DEATH FROM A FALL.-Robert Morisson (sic), an old gentleman who for a number of 
years had kept the store and post office in the town of Cooperstown, this county, 
was found dead on the floor of his store last Sunday morning. From what can be 
learned, it is supposed that on Saturday evening he fell down the stairs, receiving 
injuries which resulted in his instant death. This supposition arises from the fact 
that no light was observed in the building the evening before, and the position in 
which he was lying when found was such as to warrant the belief that he died without 
a struggle. The skull was fractured, and those who first discovered him say his neck 
was dislocated. Mr. Morrison is a brother of Hugh Morrison, our City Marshal and was 
over 70 years of age. He was born in St. Stevens, N.B., and came to this county 
twenty-one years ago, for the last seventeen years residing in Cooperstown. He was 
highly respected by all who knew him and his death will be sincerely regretted by 
many who found in him one of Nature's noblemen. His brother is the only relative he 
had in this vicinity, he never having married, and to him the sympathies of our 
readers are extended. The remains of the deceased were interred in Evergreen cemetery 
on Tuesday.

LAWRENCE MORRISSEY

Hunt for Driver of Death Car
Brown County Man Victim of Vampire Driver Near Wayside
Lawrence Morrissey, 56, father of five children, and a former Franklin farmer, 
was struck and fatally injured late last night at Wayside, Brown county, by a 
hit and run driver.
Today District Attorney Clarence Dorschel, Green Bay, aroused at the many reports 
of hit-and-run drivers in Brown county, offered a $25 reward for information 
leading to the arrest of the motorist who ran down and killed Morrissey last 
night as he was returning to his home near Wayside, after a visit at the Emil 
Meulman home in the village.
Inquest Ordered 
A jury was impaneled at Wayside today by Coroner Orlen Miller to sit in at an 
inquest, providing clues are discovered. 
The body of Morrissey was found by Gordon Zahn, Cato, and Miss Lillian Borchardt, 
Route 3, Greenleaf, as they drove along Highway G in the former’s car. Zahn told 
authorities he believed Morrissey was still breathing when found. The injured man 
was dead when a physician reached the scene.
From the position of the body Morrissey is believed to have been walking into the 
traffic when struck. There were bits of broken headlight glass on the highway and 
Morrisseys cap and a wisp of hair was found on the road about 30 feet from where 
the body was found indicating the Wayside man had been thrown forward by the 
impact. 
Suffered Skull Fracture 
Examination of the body showed Morrissey suffered a fractured skull, two broken 
legs and severe internal injuries.
Morrissey, who lived a short distance south of Wayside with his wife and three 
children, left the Meulman home in the village Friday night at 10 o’clock to walk 
to his home. He was struck when within 100 feet of his door.
It was more than an hour later that Zahn drove by and found the injured man. 
Mr. Morrissey, who is an uncle of Attorney General James E. Finnegan, Madison, 
operated a farm in Franklin, this county, for many years. His widow is the former 
Rose Ledvina of this county.
Survivors are the widow; a daughter, Louise, employed in the teachers’ employment 
bureau, Madison; four sons, Joseph, a student at the state university, Madison, John, 
Michael and Thomas, at Wayside; a brother, Prof. Goff Morrissey, former superintendent 
of schools at Chilton, Wis.; two sisters, Mrs. Hintz, Reedsville, and Mrs. Finnegan, 
Milwaukee. 
Son Attended School Here
Joseph Morrissey, a son of the dead man, was a brilliant student at Lincoln high 
school here. He completed the four-year high school course in two years. He is 
completing an engineering course at Wisconsin university.
Funeral arrangements were not completed today.

AUTO VICTIM’S RITES TUESDAY 
Search For Hit-and-Run Driver Is Continued
Funeral services for Lawrence Morissey, 57, former Franklin farmer, fatally injured 
Friday night by a hit and run motorist near Wayside, Brown county, will be held 
Tuesday morning from his home in the town of Morrison, Brown county.
Services will be held at 9:30 o’clock with Father Roland Ahearn of the St. Patrick’s 
church, Maple? Grove, officiating. The body was moved to the Morrissey home near the 
village of Wayside Sunday.
Mrs. Morrissey, who was visiting her children, Louise and Joseph, in Madison when her 
husband was killed, returned Saturday morning.
Hunt Vamp Driver 
Mrs. James E. Finnegan, Milwaukee, wife of the attorney general, is a niece of Mr. 
Morrissey. Mrs. Dora Borcherss, Escanaba, Mich., is also a niece. 
Meanwhile Green Bay authorities continued their search for the driver of the car that 
ran down Mr. Morrissey as he was walking toward his home on Highway G after visiting 
friends in Wayside Friday night. A $25 reward has been posted. 
It is considered likely that the death car must have been considerably marked by the 
impact, and probably was taken to garage or shop for repairs.

CORNELIUS W. MORSE

This is a bio. sketch from "History of Manitowoc County Wisconsin" 
by Dr. L. Falge, 1911-1912, v.2, p.140-141.
At the age of seventy-eight years Cornelius W. Morse is living retired in
Manitowoc, where for many years he has been regarded as a valued 
representative and honored citizen. For a long period he conducted a 
general contracting business and at the same time was actively engaged in 
agricultural pursuits.  His life has indeed been a busy and useful one and 
his history is well worthy of consideration, indicating what may be 
accomplished when one has perseverance and energy. He was born in 
Burlington, Vermont, July 30, 1833, the son of James and Catherine 
(Hutchins) Morse, who were also natives of the Green Mountain state, where 
they spent their entire lives, the father engaging in business there as a 
contractor and builder.
Cornelius W. Morse was about thirty-two years of age when he left New 
England for the middle west. He had pursued his education in the public 
schools of his native state and had followed a general course of study by 
a course in law, reading under the direction of Senator Edmunds, of 
Burlington, Vermont. In 1860 he was admitted to the bar. His legal 
knowledge rested upon the broad foundation of the classical education which
he had pursued in the University of Vermont, from which he was graduated in
1858. He entered upon the practice of law in his native state but following
the outbreak of the Civil war put aside all business, professional and 
personal considerations in order to espouse the cause of the Union. He 
raised a company of infantry but before they were mustered into service he 
was taken ill and another was elected captain. In August, 1861, he joined 
the army as a member of Company A. First Vermont Cavalry, as a private and 
served until November, 1864. He participated in all the engagements in the 
Shenandoah valley with General Banks and also served under General Pope, 
General Hooker and General Meade. His regiment was under the command of 
Colonel Jonas P. Holladay, at whose death Colonel Charles H. Tompkins, of 
the United States army, took command. Mr. Morse participated in the battle 
of the Wilderness, in the sanguinary conflict at Gettysburg, and in the 
engagement at Cedar Creek. On the 16th of July, 1862, he was promoted to 
the rank of lieutenant and served with that rank until the close of his 
enlistment.
He then returned home, where he remained all winter, suffering with the 
fever and ague as the result of his arduous military experience. The next 
summer, or in 1865, he came west to visit his sister, Mrs. H. Truman, who 
was then residing in Manitowoc. Here he embarked in business as a flour 
manufacturer, in connection with Mr. Truman, and afterward extended his 
efforts into other fields of business. He began railroad grading and 
following the construction of the line, was appointed the first station 
agent at Manitowoc, which position he filled for two years. He later 
became bookkeeper for J. Vilas & Company, with whom he remained for two 
years or more, when he became assistant foreman at the harbor, acting in 
that capacity during the construction of the harbor. Subsequently he began 
contracting in street building, in gravel work, etc., and did much for the 
improvement of the city as a street contractor. While thus identified with 
general contracting interests through a long period, he also engaged 
throughout the entire time in farming. When he began working on the harbor 
he purchased a tract of wild and undeveloped land, which he cleared and 
converted into a good farm. His property, comprising one hundred acres, was
near Manitowoc Rapids and he superintended its cultivation and development 
while engaged in the conduct of various other business interests. At the 
present time, however, he is now living retired. Old age has come upon him 
and he deserves his well earned rest. He is still a well preserved man and 
in spirit and interests seems yet in his prime, for through reading and 
observation he keeps in close touch with the world’s work and present-day 
events of importance.
In 1866, in Manitowoc, Mr. Morse was united in marriage to Miss Cornelia
W. Vilas, a native of Ogdensburg, New York, and a cousin of Senator Vilas. 
Her father was Joseph Vilas, a farmer, who came from the east to establish 
his home in Wisconsin at an early period in the development of this region.
Mr. and Mrs. Morse have become the parents of three children: Norman V., 
now living in Chicago; and Bowen B. and Helen V., both at home.
Mr. Morse is a public-spirited citizen, interested in all that pertains to 
the general welfare. His political allegiance was given to the democratic 
party until Bryan came to the front as its leader, since which time he has 
cast an independent ballot. He has long been a faithful member of the 
Episcopal church and his life has been an upright and honorable one, 
winning for him the high regard and confidence of his fellowmen. For 
forty-seven years he has lived in Manitowoc and is well known as one of 
its representative citizens, his influence being always given on the side 
of progress, reform, justice and righteousness.
*********
Cornelius W. Morse, an old resident of this city and veteran of the civil war, 
died last Thursday night at his home on North 8th street after a few weeks’ 
illness, aged 80 year. His death was due to ailments incident to old age.
Mr. Morse was born at Burlington, Vermont, July 30, 1833 where he grew to manhood. 
As a boy he attended the public schools and later on the state, university of 
Vermont, graduating from that institution in 1858. After graduating he read law 
in the office of ghte late Senator Edmunds and was admitted to the bar in Vermont 
in 1800. Shortly after beginning the practice of law at Burlington the civil war 
broke out and Mr. Morse closed his office and organized a company but before it 
was mustered into service he was taken ill and was unable to go with the company. 
As soon as he felt able to take the field, he enlisted as a private in the First 
Vermont cavalry and was with that regiment, in all the raids, campaigns and battles, 
including the great cavalry fights at Brundy Station, Gettysburg and Cedar Creek. 
His term of service lasted from August, 1861, to November, 1864.
He was promoted through several successive grades, and finally was lieutenant of 
Company A of his regiment, and commanded his company at Gettysburg, in that memorable 
cavalry attack on the left under Gen. Kilpatrick. Later he was appointed a colonel 
in Hancock’s veteran corps, but did not accept.
Shortly after returning from the war his sister, the late Mrs. Truman, was visiting 
in Vermont and Mr. Morse accompanied her to Manitowoc and made his home here ever 
since. He was associated with Mr. Truman in operating a flour mill and later on 
engaged in business as a contractor and superintended work of grading the old Lake 
Shore road and he was appointed the first station agent of the company at Manitowoc.
Mr. Morse was married in 1866 to Miss Cornelia Vilas who with three children survive 
him. The children are Norman of Chicago and Bowen and Miss Helen Morse of this city.
Mrs. Morse was justly proud of his army record and had been identified with the local 
post of the G.A.R. ever since it was established, holding many of its offices during 
that period.
Mr. Morse was a man of retiring disposition, not aggressive or forward and one had 
to know him intimately to hold him at his true worth. His university education and 
professional study had made him a man of wide culture and deep thought, and an 
interesting companion to those who held his confidence. A good lawabiding citizen, 
he has acted well his part in the development of our city and county and done his 
full share in bringing about the marvelous change which has occurred during the 
period of his long and useful life.
The funeral was held Sunday afternoon from the St. James church. Interment was in 
Evergreen cemetery.

DEATH COMES TO ANOTHER CITY PIONEER
Mrs. Laura Morse, one of the oldest of the pioneer settlers of Manitowoc, having 
come here in 1843, died at her home, 920 Buffalo street, this afternoon, aged 79 
years. Mrs. Morse’s death was primarily due to an accident which befell her ten 
days ago when she suffered injuries to her head as result of being struck by a 
storm door blown by the wind when she attempted to open it. She was thrown to the 
walk and seriously hurt. 
Mrs. Morse was among the most widely known of surviving early day settlers and 
despite her advanced age had enjoyed remarkable health. She was the widow of N.B. 
Morse and a sister of Mrs. Perry Smith, deceased. The family has had a prominent 
part in Manitowoc’s life and development of the city.
One son, J.W. Morse, who resided with his mother, survives. Funeral announcement 
and more extended obituary notice will appear tomorrow.

FUNERAL FOR MRS. MORSE TO BE SATURDAY 
Funeral services for Mrs. Laura Morse, pioneer, whose death occurred yesterday, 
will be held from the home, 920 Buffalo street, Saturday afternoon at 2, the Rev. 
F. P. Reicher officiating.
Mrs. Morse came here with her parents when three years old, the family settling 
at Cato, at what is now known as Heins mill where her father conducted a sawmill. 
While en route from his home to Fond du Lac to purchase cattle, he disappeared and 
is believed to have been a victim of foul play as he carried a considerable amount 
of gold on his person for that day. The mill was later sold to Wymann Murphy.
Mrs. Morris was twice married, her first husband being Wallace Jones, son of Benj. 
Jones, founder of the city. The marriage took place in 1861 and Mr. Jones died 
seven years later and Mrs. Jones married Mr. Morse in 1878, he preceding her in 
death in 1898. 
Mrs. Morse, who was probably the oldest of early pioneers, retained her faculties 
and was a compendium of information of early day events, one of the incidents which 
she often recalled being the time when it took two days to travel from the pier to 
her father’s mill with ox team. Mrs. Morse was an aunt of A. P. Smith of San Francisco, 
having been a sister of Mrs. P. P. Smith.

NORMAN B. MORSE

Death here Monday of Mr. N.B. Morse, a well-known coal merchant in our 
city, at the age of 66. His funeral took place yesterday afternoon.
Der Nord Westen, July 21, 1898
********
N.B Morse of this city died on Monday last aged 66. For some weeks his 
health has been in a precarious condition, though his difficulty appeared to be 
more nervous than physical. He was engaged in business for many years in this 
city, being associated at one time with H. Truman in the milling business and the 
purchase of farm produce. Later he was in business for himself. He was an active, 
industrious man and discharged every duty of life with fidelity.
Manitowoc Pilot  Thursday, July 21, 1898  pg. 3
********
Norman B. Morse, a notice of whose death has appeared in this paper, was a native 
of Vermont, having been born and reared at Burlington in that state. His ancestors 
were of Puritan stock and migrated from Massachusetts. His grandfather was a 
surgeon and served in the war of the revolution. His father served in the war of 
1812, participating in various affairs along the northern border and in the battle 
of Plattsburgh. On the breaking out of the war of the rebellion it was agreed 
between him and his brother that one should go to war and the other remain with 
the father, who was old and feeble. It fell to the lot of his brother to enter the 
service.
After receiving an academic education, he entered the service of the Vermont Central 
railroad as passenger agent at Raisin Point, N.Y. He next engaged in the express 
business, first in the employ of Fisk & Rice, afterwards for Cheney Fisk & Co.'s 
Berlin express, and later with the National Express Co., doing business between New 
York and Montreal. He remained in the service of the latter company for more than 
twenty years in various capacities, for a number of years in its head office in New 
York, and finally as its local agent at Plattsburgh for ten or twelve years. He 
merited and received the confidence of his employers often being entrusted with 
delicate and hazardous duties, incident to the business in its pioneer days. His 
insight into the character of men was almost intuitive. He was therefore slow to 
form friendship, but a friendship once formed he was never known to break under any 
circumstances. With many of the men who began their business career with him he kept 
up a continuous correspondence keeping informed as to their whereabouts and manifesting 
a most unusual solicitude for the welfare of persons in whom he had no interest except 
that which arises from pure friendship.
He came to Manitowoc in the early '70's and first engaged in the business of 
manufacturing flour and later dealing in country produce.

FRED MOSHER

SAD SUICIDE
Last Tuesday morning considerable excitement seemed to pervade the people in 
the streets. It was caused by a rumor of suicide, but no one appeared to know 
the particulars till we found the city marshal, who informed us an inquest was 
then being held. The particulars elicited are as follows:
A young man named Fred Mosier(sic) shot himself through the head Monday night 
at the house of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Dow and died in less than three minutes. 
Dr. Pritchard's testimony was to the effect that he was called to the house of 
Mrs. Dow where he found the body of Fred Mosier, found a wound in right temple; 
made post-mortem examination and concluded death was caused by a pistol bullet 
passing through the brain of the deceased.
Mrs. Dow, after being sworn said, she was mother-in-law of deceased, that deceased 
came to her house Monday night, thinks it was near 12 o'clock. She heard someone 
come into the house and walk fast and heavy across the floor; she called out 
"Who is there?"  On second inquiry deceased said, "Mrs. Dow, you don't know how I 
suffer. I can't stand this worry any longer."  The words had hardly passed when 
she heard a shot and then a heavy thud, by the time the lamp was lighted and she 
came in, Mosier was dead; the deceased has said the day before he would take his 
life, he wanted to see his wife and they had refused to let him see her; if they 
wouldn't let him see her, he would never go into court or jail; he made a former 
attempt on his life by taking laudanum; he said if his wife did not come back, he 
would kill himself; he had been married since the 20th of January last.
Mrs. Fred Mosier sworn: said she was wife of deceased (a letter written by deceased 
was read to the jury, the letter was found on the body). She had not seen deceased 
since letter was written. The following is a copy of the letter:
"Josie, I have made up my mind that I won't try to beat you in that law suit. I 
don't want to say anything against it. So you can do just as you please. You can 
beat me and I will go to jail. I might just as well be there as anywhere else. If 
I never come out it is all right. I am just so reckless, I don't care where I go. 
If it was to my grave it would be the best thing ever happened me. Will you grant 
me one request?  Answer this and let me know if I can see you. Be it nothing more, 
I would like to see you and kiss you once for baby and me. Since you went away, I 
have seen baby three times with her little arms stretched for me to come to her. 
She is a little angel. Write me a note and send back and let me know if I can see 
you or not. From your heart broken husband, Fred 
Good bye a kiss for you and baby. If you will take money of me, I will send it or 
bring it if you will come down at seven tonight."
Homer Hill, the marshal sworn: I found the letter read, also the pistol, just as 
it was found by the body.
E.K. Rand testified to having sold the pistol to deceased Monday forenoon. The jury 
rendered a verdict according to foregoing testimony, that deceased came to his death 
"by means of a ball entering his right temple, which was shot from a pistol held in 
the hands of the deceased by deceased."

Joseph Mrotek Is The Victim of Monoxide Gas
Joseph Mrotek, 29, of 2711 Calumet avenue, a bus driver, was found dead in the

According to Coroner Theodore Teitgen, who was summoned, Mrotek was a victim of

The coroner said that Mrotek had taken a piece of hose from a vacuum cleaner, 
attached one end to the exhaust pipe of the car and led the other end through a 
rear window of the car. Blankets had been stuffed about the partially opened 
right rear window of the automobile.

When found this morning by his brother, Victor, who was leaving for work, the 
dead man had slumped over the wheel of the car and the motor was no longer running. 
The gas tank was dry. Coroner Teitgen said that death had probably occurred about 
3 o’clock this morning.

about $19 and identification cards. Mrotek has been a driver for the Safe Way 
Motor Coach company of Manitowoc
