JOHN LEONARD O'MALLEY

TWO DEAD, 5 HURT, IN ACCIDENTS
DEATH RIDES HIGHWAYS OF COUNTY TO EXACT TERRIBLE TOLL OVER THE WEEK END
Two Rivers Man Among Victims of Two Crashes As Chicago Man Meets His Death -
Others Seriously Injured and One May Not Survive
Mrs. John O'Malley, 38, was still unconscious at the Holy Family hospital at
2 o'clock this afternoon, nearly 24 hours after she was injured in the accident
in which her husband met his death. Her attending physician declared the full
extent of her injuries had not been determined but that her skull was apparently
fractured. Her respiration continued to be good and she was said to be holding
her own in spite of her inability to rally sufficiently to regain consciousness.
The district attorney has decided that there will be no inquest into the causes
of the accident.
(snip)
O'Malley Failed To Stop
(snip)
The two cars met squarely at the intersection when the large Hudson brougham
driven by Max Bermstein, Green Bay Route 2, collided with the Model T Ford 
with a converted speedster body occupied by Mr. and Mrs. O'Malley and the 
force of the impact threw both cars headlong into the ditch on the west side
of the highway. Bermstein was driving north and O'Malley was coming west on
County Trunk D and when the two machines finally came to a rest, the little
speedster was flung 150 feet north of the intersection with its nose buried
in the dirt, crumpled up, while the Hudson was 25 feet back on its side, 
badly wrecked.
Thrown Clear of Car
O'Malley was thrown free of the car and died almost instantly while his wife
was pulled from the seat unconscious and conveyed to the hospital by Con
Berthelson and a companion who came upon the scene just after the smashup.
The body of O'Malley was taken to the mortuary by the Wattawa, Urbanek and 
Schlei company. Mrs. O'Malley is still in critical condition at the hospital
and was unconscious for many hours after the accident.
O'Malley was born at Menasha but has lived at Two Rivers for the past eight
years, being employed in the rolling mill of the Aluminum Goods Manufacturing
company at the time of his death. Besides his wife, 40, he is survived by
six children, ranging in age from four to 19.
(snip)
The remains of Mr. O'Malley may be viewed here Wednesday and Thursday at the
Wattawa, Urbanek and Schlei chapel and will be taken to Menasha, probably on
Friday for burial. The deceased was born in Menasha, in 1882 and came to Two
Rivers eight years ago, residing on South 12th street there. He was employed
in the rolling mills at the time of his death and also played diamond ball
with one of the teams there.
He is survived by seven children Mrs. Garfield LaGrande of Manitowoc, Willard,
19, Viola, 14, Catherine, 12, Avolda, 10, Lloyd, 8, and Russel 4.

and was traveling at a good rate of speed. O’Malley was blowing the horn 
steadily, Berthelsen said, and failed to observe the arterial highway stop 
sign.
Car Smashed 
A Hudson coach driven by (omitted), Green Bay roadhouse operator, approached 
from the south and apparently the driver took it for granted that O’Malley 
would stop. When he did not the (omitted) car struck the O’Malley machine, 
swinging it around and crumpling the front end. The Hudson swung to this west 
side of the road, turned around and then tipped over. The front end was stove 
in and the windshield and top smashed. 
O’Malley was crushed under the steering gear and died almost instantly. Mrs. 
O’Malley’s head evidently struck the windshield. Neither was thrown from the 
car. Mrs. O’Malley remained in a state of coma at Holy Family hospital this 
afternoon and X-ray pictures were taken to determine whether her skull was 
fractured.
(snip)
Born in Menasha 
O’Malley was employed at the Aluminum Goods rolling mills at Two Rivers and 
conducted the popcorn and peanut stand at the Two Rivers Baseball park.
John O’Malley was born in Menasha 49 years ago. He married Anna Waton 32 years 
ago. They resided in Menasha for 20 years, Hill City, Minn., five years and 
Two Rivers seven years.
The survivors are the widow and seven children, Willard, Christine, Viola, 
Catherine, Alvira, Lloyd and Russel. He also leaves his mother and one brother.
No inquest will be held in the death…

MADS ORNES

Sudden death during the night from Saturday to Sunday took the life of 
Mads Ornes, a well-known resident of our city. Ornes, who had suffered 
with rheumatism for a long time but did not let it lower his spirits, 
went to bed Saturday evening but was unable to sleep and was still awake 
at midnight. The death must have come shortly thereafter. No one in his 
family had any warning of his passing until they tried to wake him Sunday 
morning. Ornes, who was born in Norway, came to Manitowoc in 1870 and has 
resided here ever since. He was 70 years of age and is survived by his 
sorrowing widow and 4 children. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon.

DEATH CAME WITH NO WARNING
Mads Ornes, Aged Resident of the City, Dies During Night's Sleep.
Death's summons was unexpected and came suddenly and without warning 
to Mads Ornes, one of the city's best known residents, who was found 
dead in bed Sunday morning by members of the family. Mr. Ornes whose 
family home is on N. Tenth street, had retired early Saturday evening 
but had been unable to sleep and at midnight he was awake. Death must 
have occurred sometime after that hour, and was not discovered until 
the family called him for the morning.
Mr. Ornes had been a sufferer from rheumatism for some time and while 
his condition was not serious there has always been the danger that 
the heart might be affected, and this is what resulted and caused 
death. 
Mr. Ornes was a native of Norway and was married there 50 years ago, 
the golden wedding celebration having been held Feb. 19, this year. 
Coming here in 1870. Mr. Ornes was for years engaged as a ship 
carpenter and was well know. Mrs. Ornes and four children survive, 
being Mrs. C. Pugh, Catherine and John, of Minneapolis and Fred of 
Mt. Vernon, Wash.
The funeral will be held Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock from the 
late home to the First Norwegian Lutheran church, 8th and State 
street and interrment (sic) will be at Evergreen.

DIED:
Mads Ornes, an aged resident of this city, died suddenly Saturday night. Death 
came without warning. Mr. Ornes was apparently in good health when he retired 
Saturday evening. He was restless during the night and unable to sleep. In the 
morning he was found dead in bed by his wife when she went to call him for 
breakfast. Mr. Ornes had been suffering from rheumatism, but seemed to be 
as well as usual Saturday.
The deceased was a native of Norway and was about 70 years of age. Mr. and 
Mrs. Ornes immigrated to this country in 1870. They celebrated their golden 
wedding on the 19th of last February. Mr. Ornes was a ship carpenter and was 
well and favorably known. A wife and four children survive him. The children 
are, John, Catherine, and Mrs. C. Pugh, Minneapolis, and Fred of Washington

CHILDREN HOME, HELP CELEBRATE
Mr. and Mrs. Mads Ornes Observe Golden Wedding Aniversary.
RESIDENTS HERE 37 YRS.
Couple Wedded in Norway Came Here in 1870-Neighbors and Friends Call to 
Congratulate Them.
February 19, fifty years ago, was the marriage day of Mr. and Mrs. Mads Ornes, 
well known pioneer residents of the city, and at the family home on North Tenth 
street Tuesday evening, relatives, neighbors and friends assembled to assist in 
commemorating the golden wedding anniversary and the occasion was made a 
memorable one. Present for the celebration were two of the four children of the 
couple John Ornes and Miss Katherine Ornes, of Minneapolis, and this fact added 
to the happiness of the worthy couple.
Norway was the scene of the marriage of half a century ago and the early wedded 
life of the couple was passed there. Coming to America, Mr. and Mrs. Ornes 
located in Manitowoc in 1870 and during the thirty-seven years intervening, have 
been residents here. Three of the four children of the couple, John, Katherine 
and Mrs. Pugh, are residents of Minneapolis, while the fourth Fred Ornes, is 
engaged in the newspaper business at Mount Vernon, Washington. The latter visited 
here last summer and had planned to be present for the celebration Tuesday but 
was unable to attend. Mrs. Pugh a daughter, is seriously ill and anziety for her 
welfare was the one sorrow which intruded itself on the happiness of the occasion.
No elaborate celebration of the anniversary had been planned and the gathering at 
the home was not a large one, including but twenty participants. It was an informal 
gathering and was given chiefly to tendering of congratulations and well wishes 
to the aged pair. Mr. and Mrs. Ornes found the chief enjoyment of the occasion in 
the visit of their children and recalling the memories of the long years of 
association. The marriage has been a happy one and the worthy couple enjoy the 
esteem of a circle of friends limited only by their acquaintance.
Mr. and Mrs. Ornes, though advanced in years, are both enjoying excellent health 
and the expressed hope of friends that they may celebrate many more anniversaries 
of the event in Norway, bids fair to be realized. The couple were among the youngest 
in spirit at the gathering Tuesday evening.

MARIE ORNES

MOTHER OF JOHN ORNES DIES IN WESTERN HOME 
Body to Be Brought Here for Burial—Was 97 Yrs. Old 
Messages received by her son John in this city last night, announced the death 
of his mother, Mrs. Maria Ornes, at Mount Vernon, Wash., death occurring at 6 
o’clock last evening, the end coming peacefully and without suffering and bring-
ing to a close a lifetime of a span of years seldom equaled. Had Mrs. Ornes 
lived three more years she would have rounded out a full century. She was born 
May 22, 1826. 
Decedent came to this country from Norway with her husband and five children in 
1870, coming direct to Manitowoc and remaining here until the death of her 
husband, Mads Ornes, whose death occurred in 1907. She then took up her home at 
Mount Vernon, Washington, with her son, Fred, where she resided continuously up 
to the time of her death.
Buried in This City.
The body will be brought to Manitowoc for burial and will be accompanied by her 
son, Fred, and daughter, Maria, and the funeral will take place at the First 
Norwegian church next Wednesday, the Rev. Ristad officiating.
Coincident with receipt of the telegram announcing her death, came a letter to 
her son John, in which she reviewed the happy occasion of his visit only a few 
weeks ago and which was written last week. At the time Mr. Ornes visited her at 
Mount Vernon she was in her usual good health, mentality and spirits, and to show 
how well she retained her faculties and her interest in world affairs the letter 
dealt largely with the political situation in Europe. She demonstrated besides 
this an absorbing interest in music even up to the very last days of her life. 
In an accompanying photo on this page she will be seen seated at the piano and 
playing, an accomplishment which at her time of life was a phenomenon. The photo 
was taken in her own home at the age of 94.
The surviving family consists of her two sons, John, Manager for the O. Torrison 
Co. of this city; Fred of Mount Vernon, Wash., with whom she made her home; Katrina, 
Mount Vernon; and Mrs. C. W. Pugh, Minneapolis. One child, also named Fred, died 
in early infancy shortly after arrival of the family in America and another son; 
Thorval, who died in California.
Older residents of the city will remember Mrs. Ornes as a kindly neighborly woman 
of unusual attainments and fine attributes of character. She was particularly fond 
of her family and her family was proud of her, as well they might be. Each year, 
whenever it was possible for the children to congregate at the Mount Vernon home, 
an annual homecoming was enjoyed, and it is particularly gratifying at this time 
to her son John in this city that he only so recently made his western trip, 
coincident with one of these occasions, remembrance of a visit he will always 
cherish.

ROBERT G. ORR

MAN SHOT TO DEATH, AUTHORITIES QUIZ WIFE
Robert Orr Shot in Home Near Collins
Manitowoc County Sheriff''s men were conferring today with District Attorney, 
Robert Koutnik on possible charges against a rural county woman whose 38 year 
old husband was found shot to death in their home early today. Dr. Theodore 
Teitgen, County Coroner, identified the victim as Robert Orr, a night shift 
worker at the Brillion Iron Works. Orr was pronounced dead in an ambulance 
bring him to a hospital here from the farm home the family rented in the Town 
of Eaton, 2 1/2 miles southwest of Collins, near the Manitowoc-Calumet County 
line. The home is owned by Elmer Draheim.
Manitowoc County traffic police received a call from Orr's 29 year old wife, 
Cora, the mother of three, shortly after 6 am, reporting that her husband had 
been shot. When the sheriff's deputies arrived at the scene they found Orr 
lying face up on the kitchen floor with two 22 caliber bullet wounds in his 
chest.
Coroner Teitgen quoted the woman as saying that her husband arrived home 
intoxicated from Brillion some time earlier and began abusing her. He normally 
works until midnight at the Iron Works.
The coroner said a 22 caliber pistol was found on the kitchen table and that 
Orr had apparently been shot in the adjoining dining room, stumbled into the 
kitchen and collapsed on the floor. Sheriff's men and the district attorney 
were continuing their questioning of the woman who has two small children at 
home, 2 and 3 years of age. An older child is reportedly living with 
grandparents in Iowa. The younger children were temporarily being cared for 
by the County Public Welfare Dept. The family reportedly moved in the area in 
July from Eagle River, but had also previously lived in New Holstein and Green 
Bay areas.

FIRST CHILD BORN AT COOPERSTOWN
Second death due to the dynamite explosion on the Maresh farm west of

aged resident of the city who succumbed at the home of her daughter 
Mrs. Edward Mohr, after an illness since the day of the tragedy in the

Shock attending the explosion was the immediate cause of a paralytic 
stroke which Mrs. Othersoll suffered when the explosion took place. 
She was out of doors when the force of the explosion is said to have 
caused a physical break-down, superinduced by a paralytic stroke that 
prostrated her then. Since that day she has been confined to her bed 
and has been constantly attended by a physician. For two days past she 
had been ailing rapidly and the end came today. The members of the 
family had been summoned and several were with her at death. 
First child at Cooperstown
Mrs. Othersoll was the first white child born at Cooperstown, this 
county and moved to this city with the family in her girlhood. She 
lived here ever since and was one of the pioneers who will be 
remembered by the older residents. She was married here and had 
survived her husband nine years. She was married at the early age 
of thirteen.
Decedent was a member of the Episcopal faith and though never actively 
identified with church work was a Christian woman whose character was 
an inspiration to others with whom she came in contact. Five children 
are left to mourn Mrs. Othersoll being: Mrs. Ed Mohr, Frank and Mrs. 
Harry Hampton this city; Mrs. Ava Smith of Antigo.
The funeral will be held from the home of Mrs. Mohr at 2 p.m. on

Oscar Otto, who spent his boyhood days in Manitowoc, Wis., recently 
a resident of Landowne, Pa., and general superintendent of the South 
Philadelphia machine Works of the Westinghouse Electric and 
Manufacturing Company, died on Monday evening, June 30th at 9 
o’clock. 
He was fatally injured in an automobile accident on the previous 
Friday morning. He was driving his car up a steep grade near Westgrove, 
Pa., where he met an Army truck-train which was descending the hill. 
One of the trucks skidded/sideswiped his car and completely wrecked 
it. Mr. Otto suffered considerably as both of his arms were broken, 
several ribs fractured and his head was severely injured. He was 
accompanied by his son-in-law, Ross E. Cullings, who escaped with 
several severe bruises. Mr. Otto was taken to the Westgrove Hospital 
and then rushed by train to the University of Pennsylvania Hospital. 
He was in good health before the accident and naturally strong. He 
regained self-consciousness at the University Hospital, just enough 
to recognize his family. He died about eighty hours after the accident 
happened.
Mr. Otto was born in Manitowoc on January 2, 1859. He was the eldest 
of four brothers. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Anna Otto (nee Anna 
DePons of Manitowoc); a daughter, Irma, Mfrs. R. E. Cullings of 48 Jansen 
Ave., Essington, Pa. and three brothers in Manitowoc.
Prior to accepting the position as general superintendent of the 
Westinghouse Machine Works at East Pittsburgh in June, 1909, he was connected 
with the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad as general superintendent of their 
Chicago shops. He had an enviable reputation as a motive power engineer. He 
learned the trade of machinist in the Manitowoc Shop of the Chicago & 
Northwestern Railroad and after several years at various places in the 
state of Wisconsin, he accepted a responsible  position with the Northern 
Pacific Railroad at Tacoma, Washington; going from there to the Oregon 
Shoreline at Salt Lake City. He then returned to the Chicago & Northwestern 
Railroad as superintend of their Chicago shops.

LOCAL WOMAN ACCIDENT VICTIM 
MRS. C. OWART DIES FROM AUTO CRASH INJURY 
Passes Away at Green Bay Hospital After Injury as Car Struck By Truck Last Night
Sideswiped by the trailer of a truck proceeding in the same direction on Highway 
141 just north of Denmark at 5:30 Friday evening and their car overturned, Mr. 
and Mrs. Charles Owart were caught in the wreckage of the car and Mrs. Owart 
received such serious injuries that she died shortly before noon today in a Green 
Bay hospital. Although the driver of the truck that caused the smashup stopped 
his car, he later drove away and the name of the firm owning the truck was not 
ascertained up to two o’clock this afternoon, dispatches from Green Bay stated. 
Mr. Owart, Manitowoc painting contractor, and Mrs. Owart were driving back toward 
Manitowoc in an effort to get home before the full fury of the blizzard struck. 
Mr. Owart was at the wheel and said when interviewed at the hospital this morning 
that he was driving with one wheel on the gravel outside of the cement strip. The 
truck of a Milwaukee trucking concern with a trailer passed him but in turning 
back into the right side of the highway the driver turned in too quickly and the 
trailer skidded and caught the Owart car, sideswiping it, and then overturned it 
in the ditch.
Taken To Green Bay
The car was almost completely wrecked. Passing motorists succeeded in releasing 
the Manitowoc couple from the wrecked machine and Mrs. Owart, who was the most 
seriously injured, suffering from a hemorrhage of the brain and broken ribs, was 
placed in a car driven by a Denmark garage man and rushed to a Green Bay hospital. 
Mr. Owart suffered only bruises and did not require immediate hospital attention. 
Mrs. Owart’s condition grew gradually worse this morning and she died at 11:30 
o’clock.

To Be Buried Here
Mr. and Mrs. Owart resided at 1206 South Eleventh street here. She was 56 years of 
age and her maiden name was Mary Landt. Besides her husband she is survived by four 
daughters, Mrs. Herbert Tech, Linda, Irma and Leona, all of this city, three sons, 
Walter, Carl and Leroy, an aged mother Mrs. Landt of Mishicot, one sister, Mrs. 
William Kracht and two brothers, Louis and Ben.

Order Inquest In Mrs. Owart’s Death 
TRAGEDY IS CLIMAX TO MERCY ERRAND 
Mr. and Mrs. Owart Enroute Home From Visit to Dying Sister When Accident Occurred
Tragedy, which claimed the life of Mrs. Charles Owart this city Friday evening when 
she was fatally injured near Denmark as her husband’s car was overturned when side-
swiped by a truck, came as Mr. and Mrs. Owart were returning from a mission of mercy 
to Mr. Owart’s sister at Loomis, Wis., it was revealed upon Mr. Owart’s arrival in 
the city Saturday afternoon. Mr. Owart had responded to a plea from his sister who 
is seriously ill that he visit her before her death which she felt was near and it 
was while on the return trip that the accident occurred.
Mr. Owart who returned here Saturday night from Green Bay told with tears in his 
eyes how he had listened to the plea of his wife that she be taken with him on his 
trip to visit his sister, Mrs. Dora Petri, at Loomis. Together they motored up to 
that place for a visit and started back home shortly after dinner. They reached 
Green Bay at four o’clock and were proceeding at a speed of only 20 miles an hour 
when a long platform trailer of the Auto Convoy Co., of Milwaukee, enroute back to 
Milwaukee passed them near Denmark.
(snip)
Funeral on Wednesday 
Funeral services for Mrs. Owart will be held on Wednesday afternoon at 1:45 from the 
home on South Eleventh street and at two o’clock from the St. John’s Evangelical church.
Besides the husband, four daughters, three sons, Mrs. Owart’s aged mother, Mrs. Barbara 
Landt also survive. Mrs. Landt, whose home is at Mishicot, has not been told of her 
daughter’s death as it is feared the shock would be too much for her enfeebled condition. 
Two brothers and a sister also survive. The deceased was a member of the Ladies Auxiliary 
of the Eagles and the Ladies Aid Society of the St. John’s church.

ACCUSE DRIVER IN OWART DEATH
A coroner's inquest into the manner in which Mrs. Charles Owart of this city came 
to her death near Denmark in Brown County on March 27, was held at Green Bay last 
Thursday. Mr. Owart testified that his car was way over at the right and that the 
trailer of a big truck passing hi from behind knocked the car into the ditch 
killing Mrs. Owart. A second truck driver of the same fleet who was farther behind 
said that the truck or trailer never came in contact with Mr. Owart's car, but was 
hard put to it to explain how Mr. Owart's left rear wheel was smashed to bits and 
the rest of the car not injured. The driver under accusation said he couldn't see 
whether the trailer hit or not, but he felt no jar.
The jury lost no time in agreeing with Mr. Owart that he had been bumped off the 
road and further found the driver, Chase Ghele, guilty of reckless driving. George 
Kennedy, formerly of this city, was foreman of the jury. Those big trucks with 
trailers used for conveying Ford cars are sixty feet long and the driver has 
practically no control of the rear end of the trailer.

ROBERT OWEN

Trucker Is Victim of Road Crash 
Robert Owen Killed, Five Others Injured When Car And Truck Collide
A Manitowoc WPA worker was killed and five persons injured, two seriously, in 
a truck-automobile collision early Wednesday evening at the junction of Highways 
10 and 55, five miles south of Kaukauna.
Robert Owen, 38, of 819 Chicago street, driver of a truck for the Bahr construct-
ion company, Manitowoc, was almost instantly killed when the truck he was driving 
struck a car driven by Arthur Lange, 6400 West Greenfield street, West Allis. Owen 
died before arrival of an ambulance.
Two in Hospital
Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Murdock, 722 South Story street, Appleton, passengers in the 
automobile, are in an Appleton hospital in a serious condition. Mr. Murdock has a 
broken right shoulder, brain concussion, fractured ribs and severe lacerations. His 
wife has a severe back injury and lacerations.
Lange, a brother-in-law of Mr. Murdock, who was driving the latter’s newly purchased 
car to Appleton from Manitowoc, was badly shaken up but not seriously injured. 
Miss Edna Belle Murdock, 16, and Richard Eichhoff, 8, both of Appleton, passengers 
in the car, sustained cuts and bruises. 
The accident happened at what motorists term “one of the most dangerous intersections 
in northeaster Wisconsin.” The Murdock car was enroute west on Highway 10 while Owen 
had just come out of Highway 55 from the north on his way to Manitowoc from Little 
Chute. It was Owen’s second trip there yesterday with a load of supplies for the 
Bahr company.
Thrown From Cab of Truck 
According to reports of the accident from Calumet county today, the force of the impact 
threw Owen from the cab of the truck and 30 feet down the pavement. He sustained a 
crushed skull, broken shoulder and sprained arms. The top portion of his body was 
severely lacerated.
According to one witness the truck driven by Owen passed another machine that stopped 
for the arterial at the junction of the two highways and came out on Highway 10 just 
as the Murdock car was driven west. 
A coroner’s jury was drawn and Chilton authorities today said an inquest will probably 
be held in an effort to fix blame for the accident.
The body of Mr. Owen at first brought to the hospital here, was later moved to the 
Wattawa, Urbanek and Schlei funeral home.
Funeral Saturday
Funeral services for Mr. Owen will be  held Saturday at 10:30 a.m. at the Wattawa, 
Urbanek and Schlei funeral home. They will be in charge of the Rev. Paul Blaufuss of 
the St. John’s Evangelical church. Interment will be in Evergreen cemetery. The body 
may be viewed at... (Continued on page 2) TRUCKER IS VICTIM OF HIGHWAY CRASH 
(Continued from Page 1)…the funeral home after Friday noon. 
Mr. Owen, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Owen, Detroit, was born in that city in 1898. 
He moved to Chicago when a young man and for a number of years was employed by motor 
coach companies in that city as a driver. He married Ella Cerull in Detroit, April 23, 
1922.
In February, 1928, the family moved to this city where Mr. Owen was employed as a 
truck driver for a number of contracting firms
Survivors are his widow; six small children, Robert, Donald, Harvey, Glenn, Norman 
and Shirley, ranging in age from seven years to six months; parents, Mr. and Mrs. 
Edward Owen, Detroit; two brothers, John and Edward, city; and two sisters, Mrs. John 
Gates, and Mrs. John Daetz, both of Two Rivers.
