John Pasewalk Wards Off Attack While Lost at Night
Lost in the northern woods with no companion and no habitat within many miles. 
John Pasewalk, one of the proprietors of the Metropolitan barber shop who recently 
was up at Pembine had a harrowing experience in connection with his trip and which 
had the effect of dampening his hunting enthusiasm materially. It was night time 
when he lost his way and after wandering about four hours trying to find his way 
back to camp was obliged to camp out all night. Sleep was out of the question since 
the wolves were numerous and so the local hunter was obliged to lay awake to guard 
himself from their attacks. A searching party found him the next morning after 
repeated shots fired by the lost man attracted their attention.
Pasewalk is said to have been so much concerned over his condition that he forgot 
the purpose of his trip and several deer walked past him within easy range entirely 
unmolested. Several wolves which got too inquisitive are said to have received a 
dose of shot at long range, however.

********
From the Files of the Pilot - Twenty-Five Years Ago - (1897)
Dr. A. J. Patchen died on Friday last. He was born at Hornby, Steuben Co., N.Y., 
67 years ago and moved to Fond du Lac in 1849. When a resident of that city he 
joined the army, going out with Company I of the 5th Wisconsin as orderly sergeant. 
His health failed after eleven months service and he was discharged. He came to 
Manitowoc in 1963 and organized Company G of the 39th Wisconsin, serving as its 
captain until the close of the war when he came to Manitowoc and took up the 
practice of dentistry. Ten years ago his failing sight compelled him to discontinue 
his practice and he has lived in comparative retirement since.
Dr. Patchen was a member of the Masonic Order, Odd Fellows, The GAR, and the A.O.U.W. 
His residence in the principles of all these orders gave him mental prominence in 
their circles. His funeral which took place on Sunday, was under the direction of 
the Masons from the home of his son, Dr. George Patchen. 
Dr. Patchen's illness was brief. He had lived a temperate life but he was attacked 
by an acute case of Bright's Disease, after undergoing a surgical operation for 
strangulated hernia. He was a man of quiet demeanor but of strong convictions and 
always earnest in the cause of right. He was the last of five brothers.

GEORGE W. PATCHEN M.D.

HEAD OF FIRST HOSPITAL DIES
Dr. G.W. Patchen, 67, Claimed at Florida Home
Dr. George W. Patchen, 67, who, with his brother-in-law, the late Dr.
R.K. Paine, established the first hospital in Manitowoc over 40 years
ago, died Sunday night at his home in Melbourne, Fla.
Dr. Patchen has been located in Florida the past 17 years. His death
came after a brief illness. He visited in Manitowoc last summer.
Funeral services for Dr. Patchen will be held at Melbourne, Fla.
Wednesday or Thursday.
Dr. Patchen was born in Manitowoc in 1871, the son of Dr. and Mrs.
Andrew Patchen. His father was the first dentist to locate permanently
in Manitowoc. The younger Patchen attended the schools there and later
took a course in the Chicago Medical college at Chicago, from where he
secured his M.D. degree.
Returning to Manitowoc he became an assistant and later a partner of
Dr. R.K. Paine. In the late nineties, the need for a hospital, where
patients could be operated on and persons desiring hospitalization
could be accommodated became apparent. Drs. Paine and Patchen,
established a hospital in a building on North Eighth street, on the 
site north of the present Hotel Manitowoc.
This first institution had facilities for eight patients with the best
in operating equipment which was available in these days. Dr. Patchen
continued the practice of medicine in Manitowoc until 1921.
Survivors are the widow; a daughter, Mrs. R.C. Robertson, Providence
R.I., and a grandson, Richard Norris Robertson, Providence.

DR. PATCHEN TO BE WED AT CHICAGO
Plans for Wedding to Miss Zola Bowman are Secret
COUPLE PROMINENT IN SOCIAL CIRCLES
Wedding of Dr. G.W. Patchen of this city and Miss Zola Bowman of Chicago is an 
event that will take place either tomorrow or in the very near future, though 
all means of keeping the secret from friends of the couple and from the press 
have been employed. Dr. Patchen departed here on Thursday for Chicago and Miss 
Bowman was a passenger for the same place. Because of the secrecy that is 
maintained at his office here and among his closest friends, it is impossible to 
learn any of the details or the exact date. It can be said with authority that 
the wedding is to take place within two days. Dr. Patchen is one of the best 
known physicians in this section of the state and is popular with hosts of friends 
who will voice sincere congratulations because of the event. The bride is a most 
attractive girl who had been a member of the Northside high school faculty and is 
beloved by pupils and all who have come to know her. The marriage will be the 
result of an attachment that sprung up during the time she had been employed here 
as a teacher. Miss Bowman's home is at Chicago at ?? Powell Ave and it is probable 
that the event will take place there. Dr. Patchen and bride will return here to 
make their home.

DEATH SADNESS IN MANY HEARTS
Mrs. George W. Patchen Yields Life to Illness of Brief Duration
NEWS IS GREAT SHOCK
Death's sadness touched many hearts today in the announcement of the demise of 
Mrs. George W. Patchen whose death occurred at the Holy Family Hospital this 
afternoon following an illness of brief duration. The announcement of the death 
of Mrs. Patchen will be a painful surprise to a large circle of friends who, 
although advices of the seriousness of her condition, had not thought that death 
was near and sorrow will be widespread and sincere. To the family the sincerest 
sympathy will be tendered.
The death of Mrs. Patchen was due to complications which followed an operation 
for appendicitis which she underwent on November 14 and from which it was thought 
she would recover until a few days ago when the necessity for a second operation 
became apparent. This operation was performed on Wednesday and the patient failed 
to rally, her condition having become critical and death followed. All that loving 
care and the best of medical attention could do proved unavailing and at noon 
today the end came.
Mrs. Patchen, nee Grace Ione Barnes, was born in this city, September 30, 1875 and 
her life had been passed here. She attended the North Side High School and later 
was a student at Grafton Hall, Fond du Lac and returning, was married January 1, 
1891 to Dr. Patchen, who with one child, Josephine, survive to mourn her loss. 
Three sisters, Misses Lulu, Bessie and Lottie Barnes and two brothers, John and 
Herbert Barnes, also survive. 
Mrs. Patchen was a leader of city social circles and possessed a wide acquaintance 
among whom she was popular and who will deeply deplore her untimely death. Her demise, 
in the very brightest period of life, is a sad decree of Fate and emphasizes the 
uncertainty of life. The funeral will be held from the late home on N. Eighth Street 
December 24.

RALPH WILLIS PATCHEN

A SAD ACCIDENT
On Sunday morning, Willie Patchen, the son of Dr. A.J. Patchen of this city, 
went to the pasture near the Manitowoc Rivers known commonly as Rand's pasture 
with his cow. While there he met a couple of little boys of about his own age 
and it is thought they all went into the river to bathe. Willie undoubtedly went 
too far, got beyond his depth and no help being near was drowned.
The little boys who were with him, met a gentleman near there and told him Willie 
was drowned. He went to the river bank, found the little fellow's clothes and 
gave the alarm. Search was at once made for the body and continued through all 
the day and into the night but without success. On Monday morning, the search was 
again resumed and the body was found about 9 o'clock.
Willie was a bright, intelligent little fellow and his loss is a dreadful blow to 
the family. His mother who was absent in Dakota has been telegraphed for and is 
expected to arrive today. The spot in the river where he was drowned has been the 
scene of several such accidents and for some reasons appears to be unusually 
dangerous.

October was sounded this morning from box 5. The place in flames was No. 12 
South Water street, a four-story brick building owned by Wm. Hickling, formerly 
of Ottawa, now living at No. 104 Calumet avenue. The building was rented by 
H. Finck, who occupied the first floor as a restaurant and bar-room. In the 
back part George Hernsten and Jacob Linton were sleeping. The front part of the 
basement was occupied as a barber shop by Joseph Masselly, who had only been in 
three days. The second and third floors were unoccupied, having been swept out 
yesterday. The fourth floor was occupied by Herman & Seeger Bros., as a cigar 
manufactory. On this floor two young men named Theodore Becker and August Seeger 
had sleeping apartments.
The fire was first discovered by Jacob Linton, who was a runner for the restaurant 
kept by Finck. He heard a noise which seemed as if some one was getting into the 
store, and in a few minutes he was waked again by a glare of light. He immediately 
called on the young man who slept in the same room with him, and went to the front 
part of the store and found a small flame issuing from behind and above the gas 
meter. Throwing a pail of water upon it, he was going back for another when a heavy 
explosion of the meter, with the sound of a cannon, shook the building and scattered 
the pieces of the meter all over the floor. All the young men immediately left the 
building, shouting for those who slept on the fourth floor to come down. The pounding 
and shouting woke them and they came down without any clothing except their shirts. 
When they left the fourth floor there was no fire there, but the front stairs of the 
first floor were in flames. In a few moments the watchman from the Illinois Central 
depot came with Babcock extinguishers. Hernston could not approach the front door. 
He threw the keys through the glass of the window and the door was opened from the 
outside. Engine No. 13 then came on the ground and took up a station at the rear of 
the building. By this time the flames were bursting out of the the third story windows. 
In another minute the Fire Patrol came up, and David F. Donnelly, followed by John 
Patterson, James McManus, David Shippy and Atkins went into the building on the first 
floor. They had scarcely entered when a second explosion from the gas which had escaped 
from the now open gas pipes, knocked them down and stupefied them. McManus, Shippy and 
Patterson returned. The back door was broken open by the Captain of the Titsworth. All 
were rescued with the exception of Patterson, who fell within four or five feet of 
safety. The room was so filled with smoke and gas that the firemen were unable to see 
a single foot before them, but McManus told the Captain of the Titsworth that other 
men were inside. A lantern was obtained, and in a moment the body of Patterson was 
rescued, with the heart still beating. He was taken to the alley, but died almost 
instantly thereafter. No trace of Donnely could be found and it was not until the 
Chief came on the ground that his body was discovered with the hand resting against 
the front door one-half of which was shut. When found he was burned beyond recognition. 
His badge was brought to the Fire Patrol station this morning, it having fallen from 
his breast in the struggle for life. Atkins excaped with his life by going down the 
dumb waiter into the kitchen of the restaurant in the basement, and escaping thence 
by the window.
David F. Donnely, Assistant Captain of the Fire Patrol, was about 31 years old and had 
been connected with the Fire Deprtment ever since he was a boy. He was universally 
respected by the members of the force who knew him. He has a mother living in 
Philadelphia and his remains will be taken there to rest with those of his wife, whose 
picture he always carried except when he went to fires, and which he has frequently 
requested should be buried with him in his coffin. John Patterson was about 21 years 
old, and had not been connected with the fire patrol one week at the time of his death. 
He joined June 15th and this was the first fire he had attended. His body awaits a 
telegram from his father who lives in Manitowoc, Wis.
Both Atkins and Shippy were badly burned in the face and hands, and they were taken 
home; the former to the city limits on the north side, near Lincoln park, the latter 
to South Park avenue, near Twenty-seventh street. McManus was slightly burned on the 
hands.
The verdict of the Coroner's jury, impaneled this morning, was, that John Patterson 
and David F. Donnelly came to their death from suffocation and burns recieved by the 
explosion of a gas meter on the premises known as No. 12 South Water street.

From the Chicogo Inter Ocean June 25.
A large gathering assmbled yesterday afternoon to do the last honors to the remains 
of John Patterson and David Donnely, the two gallant firemen who fell at their post 
of duty on Saturday morning last. The patrol building was draped in mourning with the 
flag at half-mast. They were laid in state in the third story, inclosed in the elegant 
burial caskets on the top of which were wreaths of flowers, and the helmets of the 
deceased. Each coffin had a silver plate inscribed with the names and date of death. 
After a dirge by the band, Rev. Father Noonan read the beautiful burial service of the 
Catholic Church. Ten comrades of the deceased, attired in the neat fatigue uniform of 
the patrol-black pantaloons, blue shirts and helmets-acted as pallbearers, and convened 
the remains to the two hearses in waiting. A procesion, composed of the members of the 
Board of Underwriters, the Police Commissionors, the members of the Fire Patrol, four 
delegates from each engine-house, the injured patrol-men and the relatives of the 
deceased accompanied the remains of Donnely to the depot of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne 
and Chicago railroad, where they were given in charge of his brother to be conveyed to 
Philadelphia. The body of Patterson was then taken to the Goodrich dock to be sent to 
his home in Manitowoc.
The body of the ill-fated young man was recieved here yesterday morning by the steamer 
Sheboygan, whence they were conveyed to the First Presbyterian Church. In the afternoon 
a large concourse of the friends and relatives of the deceased, the Fire Department and 
citizens generally, assembled at the church to do the last sad honors to the remains of 
one whom they loved and respected. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. John 
Patterson, after which the procession marched to the cemetery, where were deposited the 
remains of one who died at his post of duty.

CONRAD E. PATZER

STRICKEN WITH HEART FAILURE DIES IN HOUR
Director of Bureau of Placements at Milwaukee College at Time of Death
Conrad E. Patzer, 69, director of the Bureau of Placements at the 
Milwaukee State Teachers' College, died today an hour after he had 
been stricken with a heart attack.
Patzer, originator of the county board system of education which 
was enacted into law by the legislature and then repealed was born 
in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. Four four years before coming to Milwaukee, 
35 years ago, he was superintendent of schools of Manitowoc County. 
He was awarded an honorary Master of Arts Degree by the University 
of Wisconsin in 1925.
Surviving are a brother, Henry, of Manitowoc and a daughter, Mrs. 
Gertrude Cassels, Port Washington. Funeral services will be held 
Wednesday. Burial will be in Manitowoc.
Before going to Milwaukee where an earlier reputation as an outstanding 
instructor was added to during his years as head of the placement 
division of the Milwaukee State Teachers' College, Professor Patzer was 
one of the outstanding figures in Manitowoc County educational circles. 
He served as County Superintendent of schools from 1891 to 1895.
Born in the city of Two Rivers, Mr. Patzer spent his early life in that 
vicinity and came to Manitowoc as a young man to accept the position of 
principal of the old Third Ward High School. He later headed the 
Southside High School and then was elected as head of all the schools 
of the county.
During his lifetime, Mr. Patzer was recognized as a man of more than 
usual ability and force in spite of a retiring disposition. He was 
honored by teachers of Manitowoc County and later was elected president 
of the Wisconsin State Teacher's Association.
His services as a commencement speaker were much in demand and brought 
him to widely separated sections of Wisconsin and on his recent addresses 
he continued his advocacy of the county board of education plan, delivering 
an address on that subject at the graduation exercises of the Manitowoc 
County school here two to three years ago. Soon after Professor Patzer 
came to Manitowoc, he was married to Margaret Nielsen who passed away 
several years ago and who is buried at Evergreen Cemetery. A son, Edward, 
also died a number of years ago and the only immediate survivors are the 
brother, Henry of this city and Mrs. George Cassels of Port Washington. 
Arrangements for the funeral services on Wednesday afternoon have not 
yet been completed by they will be held in this city.

PROF. C.E. PATZER
A life-time of activity devoted to the betterment and advancement of 
educational standards in Wisconsin was brought to a close at Milwaukee 
yesterday with the sudden, unexpected death of Professor C.E. Patzer. 
(Photo)
From the time he attanded the schools of Two Rivers until he reached an 
apex of an unusual career against odds seemingly overwhelming, Professor 
Patzer was an outstanding leader in educational circles of the state and 
many of the recent reforms in the system of teaching and in the standards 
of the profession are directly chargeable to him. Largely self-taught, 
the professor-author was regarded as one of the outstanding authorities 
among pedagogues of Wisconsin.
Outstanding accomplishments in his campaign to raise the standards of the 
profession of which he was a shining example include his nine years of 
activity as chairman of the legislative committee of the state teachers' 
colleges, his championing of the rural normal schools for county teachers 
and his successful direction of the law creating the county normals and 
the state education law of 1912.
As late as 1930, Mr. Patzer appeared before the Wisconsin legislature to 
urge the county boards of education succeed to the functions and duties 
of district boards which he declared to be overlapping and in contra-
vention of the state's motto of "Forward." He was a notable authority on 
rural education and in recent years was an active advocate of reforms in 
the system of teacher-training at the University of Wisconsin.
A contributor to national magazines on educational subjects, Mr. Putzer 
described the results of his researches in a book entitled "Public Education 
in Wisconsin" and he was also the author of several text books on methods 
of instruction.
He was a native of Manitowoc county, born in the city of Two Rivers and 
spending much of his early manhood in Manitowoc county-a county to which 
he returns in death. He will be buried Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock 
from the home of his nephew, Max Rahr, Jr., at 1623 Clark street.

EDWARD PATZER

DEATH CLAIMS E.C.. PATZER, WELL KNOWN YOUNG MAN AT MILWAUKEE
Though Home Was at Milwaukee in Late Years He Has Spent Much Time 
Here—Was Son of C.E. Patzer, Former Resident
Edward C. Patzer, son of Prof. and Mrs. Conrad Patzer of Milwaukee, 
former residents of this city, died at the home of his parents in 
Milwaukee, Saturday evening from pneumonia and heart failure, the 
news received here Sunday coming as a shock to a large circle of 
friends of the young man, who during the past two years, had spent 
much of his time in this city. Mr. Patzer left here about a month 
ago for Milwaukee and had been confined to his bed for only one 
week, when death came. The body will be brought here and funeral 
services will be held from the home of William Rahr, Sr., Tuesday 
afternoon at two o’clock. The local lodge of Elks, of which Mr. 
Patzer was a member, will attend the service. 
Mr. Patzer was born in this city 26 years ago, his father being 
former principal of the First ward school. He was educated in the 
local schools and removed to Milwaukee with his parents. Later he 
engaged in the insurance and bond business and during his later 
residence here the past two years had represented the Northwestern 
and other insurance companies and the Chicago Bonding company. He 
was popular in social circles and had a wide acquaintance. Mr. 
Patzer is survived by his parents at Milwaukee and one sister, Mrs. 
Castle of Port Washington. His death is believed may be traced to 
rheumatism which he contracted while serving with Troop A of 
Milwaukee at Camp Douglas. 
He enlisted in the cavalry but was later discharged on the grounds 
of disability. The death of Mr. Patzer will be sincerely mourned 
by a large circle of friends.

WALTER PAULSENE / POLZIEN

HUSHED IN LAST SLEEP
Treacherous Waters of the River Claim Another Young Life
WALTER POLZIEN, AGED 22
Unable to Swim He Gets Beyond His Depth and Drowns Before Eyes 
of a Friend—A Sad Occurrence 
Beneath the treacherous waters another young life has been hushed 
into the last long sleep and an aged father’s heart has been crushed 
in the robbery of its most precious possession by the relentless 
river, which bore his cherished son from the pleasures of life into 
the mysteries of the great unknown hereafter. Walter Polzien, a well 
known young man of the city, was the victim of the fatality which 
occurred Sunday afternoon. Polzien and a friend, Fred Thurston, had, 
with a party of friends, been spending several hours in a grove near 
the cemetery and late in the day decided to take a bath in the river. 
Polzien was unable to swim, but his friend was not aware of this fact, 
having never been informed. Thurston entered the water first and 
enjoyed the sport for some time before Polzien ventured to wade out. 
The other left the water soon after the young man entered and proceeded 
to dress himself while watching his friend splashing about. It is 
thought that Polzien ventured beyond his depth for a of a sudden he 
disappeared and although Thurston waited some time the bather failed 
to appear and it became evident that something was amiss. 
It was about six o’clock in the evening and Thurston at once reported 
the matter at police headquarters. Officer Sniffins with assistance, 
recovered the body at about 8:25 and it was carried to the home, but 
a short distance from where the sad happening occurred. Coroner Luhman 
viewed the remains and justice H.L. Markham empanelled the following 
jury: E.L. Chloupek, Gustave Fraze, Jos. Wall, Jos. Stanchek, W.F. 
Brandt and F. Heyroth. The inquest was adjourned until 8 o’clock this 
morning at which time the verdict returned was “That he came to death 
by accidental drowning in the Manitowoc river, near Evergreen cemetery, 
on August 5, 1900 at about 6 o’clock.” 
At the inquest a number of witnesses were sworn and it developed that 
Polzien and Thurston had been together all afternoon. They had been 
drinking some, but neither was under the influence of liquor. Polzien 
was not a drinking man in the usual acceptance of the term. He had a 
desire to go bathing all day and when he finally did, the result was 
the fatality chronicled above. Thurston testified that at first when 
Polzien failed to appear he believed that he was swimming under water, 
but the father of the boy stated that his son was unable to swim. The 
unfortunate young man was a son of August Polzien and was 22 years of 
age. He was an industrious and hard worker, the mainstay in the support 
of his father on whom the shock of sudden death falls heavily, all the 
more so in that it is little more than three months ago that the boy’s 
mother was laid to rest in Evergreen cemetery. Besides the father, one 
brother and two sisters survive to mourn him. The sisters are Mrs. Louis 
Olson, of this city, and Mrs. George La Counte, of Forest Junction. The 
funeral will be held from the late home tomorrow afternoon.

under the name of Pauly and Pauly. Felix Pauly headed the company with William 
Pauly, secretary and treasurer.

established in Reedsville, Cleveland, Newton, Sherwood, Seymour, Zachow, Marinette, 
Rice Lake, Merrillan and Juneau.
During the period between 1910 and 1925 the firm acquired six factories and since 
then 25 more factories. A cheese processing plant was established here in 1938 and 
in 1947 the company purchased the Standard Brands Shefford interests in Green Bay 
and Monroe, together with their factories in the state. Shortly after the Pauly

plant.
Mr. Pauly retired from the company in 1950 and the following year located in California.

(The following obituary is for his son Don):
Mr. Donald P. Pauly, died unexpectedly March 4, 1990 in Bangkok, Thailand, while 
traveling with his wife. Mr. Pauly, son of Felix and Magdalen (Geimer) Pauly was 
born in Los Angeles, California, on July 11, 1925. They preceded him in death. Mr. 
Pauly graduated in 1943 from Lincoln High School in Manitowoc. During World War II 
he was severely wounded and was awarded the Purple Heart and the Silver Star. 
After rehabilitation, Mr. Pauly enrolled at Loyola University in Los Angeles and 
graduated with a degree in Business Administration. Married in 1946 to the former 
Janet Berkedal in Manitowoc. They resided at 828 Memorial Drive. After working for 
several years in the family cheese business, the family sold the company to Swift 
and Co. and Mr. Pauly purchased his first cheese plant. During this time, he was 
awarded two patents. Mr. Pauly at that time was also Treasurer of the Kingsbury 
Brewery which had plants in Manitowoc and Sheboygan. He retained this position and 
ownership until it was sold to the G. Heilman Brewing Co. Mr Pauly then expanded his 
dairy operations into Michigan, North Dakota and Nebraska. In 1962 at the request of 
the Government A.I.D. program, he acquired a farm and constructed a cheese operation 
outside of Bogota, Columbia. This program is for improving foreign quality food 
products. He later sold the business and was the major shareholder of a palm oil and 
sesame seed plantation. This eventually grew to a size larger than Manitowoc County 
and was nationalized. Since that time he has been involved in Poultry and real estate 
development there. Locally, Mr. Pauly developed the Mid Cities Mall in 1968. The mall 
was engineered and manufactured by Wisconsin Conrete Pipe and Culvert Co., a subsidiary 
of Van Der Vaart, Inc., of Sheboygan. Mr. Pauly was Chairman and CEO of this company 
at that time. He was awarded the key to the city for this progressive project at that 
time. Mr. Pauly was involved in Edgewater Mall until his death. He owns the land which 
he leases the corporation,which is also a partner in. Mr. Pauly was awarded a large 
grant to study his wet feeding system at his hog farm in Rudyard, Michigan. Because of 
this many farmers today are following this system. This method also greatly reduced 
the bio demands and waste water runoffs into fresh water sources. In recent years, Mr. 
Pauly sold off his trucking interests in Taylor Trucking and h is insurance agency to 
United Wisconsin. For many years he served on local boards, including the First 
National Bank, AAA State and National Advisory board, Manitowoc County Veterans 
Commission, Disabled American Veterans and played for some years in the American Legion 
Band. At the time of his death, he served on 6 outside corporate boards. Mr. Pauly was 
additionally very active supporting the handicapped. While serving as President of the 
Manitowoc County Retarded Children Association, the association was approached by B.J. 
Halverson requesting funds to purchase a building for what is now Holiday House. Mr. 
Pauly personally purchased and donated the building. He served as its first Chairman 
of the Board and remained so until he semi-retired to Phoenix, Arizona in the early 
1870's. Mr. Pauly had planned on announcing a new foundation for the handicapped in 
April. Janet will now do so then. The last years he had been a SCORE consultant for 
Small Business Administration in Phoenix for consulting work for American firms abroad.
In lieu of flowers the family requests memorials in his name be sent to Holiday House. 
In the tradition of Thailand, Mr. Pauly was cremated during a Buddhist ceremony in 
Bangkok, Thailand. Private Catholic services will be held in Phoenix, Arizona.
Survivors include his wife, Janet, a son, Philip of Two RIvers; a daughter, Pamela 
Shear of Littleton, Colorado and son-in-law, Ronald, grandsons, Erik and Blake; a son, 
D. Tod and daughter-in-law, Taybee of Manitowoc and grandchildren, Grant, Kyle and

William Pauly, Phoenix, Dies 
William H. Pauly, 87, of Phoenix, Ariz., former Manitowoc resident and a leader 
in the cheese industry died Wednesday at Good Samaritan Hospital, Phoenix. 
Pauly, a native of Port Washington, attended district school and Port Washington 
High School. He taught district school in Ozaukee County three years and then 
joined his brothers in the wholesale cheese business.
The warehouse was at Belgium, Wis., where the factories were located. He was in 
charge of the sales office at St. Louis, Mo. In 1908, the main office and 
warehouse were moved to Manitowoc. He was secretary and treasurer, his brother, 
Felix, was president and another brother, Emil, vice president, of the firm, 
Pauly Cheese Co. The business expanded over the years with factories and assembly 
plants being established throughout Wisconsin and northern Michigan.
Under guidance of the brothers, the company established several new practices in 
buying and assembling of cheese. These included the pioneering of assembly 
warehouses with cold storage facilities at strategic locations throughout Wisconsin. 
This provided shippers with factory inspection service and closer contacts in 
general. The company was purchased by Swift and Co. in 1948, becoming a division 
of that company. Pauly remained with the firm as general manager until 1958.
The Paulys purchased controlling interest in Kingsbury Breweries of Manitowoc and 
Sheboygan in 1935 and in 1960 sold their stock to G. Heileman Brewing Co. of La 
Crosse. They also owned substantial interests in Wisconsin Oil Refinery Co., 
American Hydraulic Co., and Napco Corp. of Sheboygan. William Pauly was board 
chairman of the four companies for a number of years. He was also with Curt Joa 
and the Jenkins Co. of Sheboygan Falls.
The Paulys became interested in the First National Bank in Manitowoc in 1920, and 
he was a director and board chairman from 1942 to 1956.
The Paulys own the VanderVaart B and B Supply Co. of Sheboygan with plants in New 
Holstein and Green Bay. Pauly was board chairman of this company as well as the Pauly 
Corp. and Quality Aluminum Castings Co. of Waukesha while in retirement.
Pauly was one of the group that built the Manitowoc Motor Hotel and was a board 
member. 
In memory of the couple’s son, Robert, who was killed in an auto accident while 
attending Stanford University, the family donated the baptistery at Sacred Heart 
Catholic Church, Manitowoc. 
Survivors are a daughter, four grandchildren and four great grandchildren. Six

May 6, at his residence.
Funeral services will be 2 p.m. Friday at Jens Funeral Home, Manitowoc. Past 
worshipful master Kenneth Hendrick will offiicate and burial will be in 
Evergreen Cemetery, Manitowoc.
Mr. Paustian was born Feb. 21, 1897, at Mayville, Wis., son of the late Albert F. 
and Louise Naber Paustian. The Paustian family moved from Mayville to Brillion in 
the Spring of 1907. He attended public schools at Mayville and Brillion and was 
graduated from Brillion High School with the Class of 1915. He was graduated from 
the Milwaukee School of Engineering with a bachelors degree in Electrical 
Engineering and served in the student Army Training corps during World War I.
Mr. Paustian was married to Hilda Bringmann of of (sic) Brillion May 16, 1922, who 
died on August 18, 1945. He married Helen Rayn of Manitowoc Nov. 28, 1947. His 
entire working career, over a span of 42 years, was with public utilities. It began 
at Brillion in 1920 with the F. Paustian Milling Company, who owned and operated a 
flour mill and an electric utility serving Brillion, Forest Junction and surrounding 
area with electric service. He came to Manitowoc on Jan. 2, 1924, as estimator and 
meter department superintendent for the Wiscosnin Public Serive Corporation, later 
becoming district manager for operations in Manitowoc and Calumet counties. He later 
became division manager of the Lake Shore Division consisting of Manitowoc, Calumet, 
Kewaunee and Door Counties, which position was held until retirement March 1, 1962.
During all this time, electric operations were extended to every village and 
attained a 100 rural saturation in the entire area. Also natural gas was introduced 
and gas service was extended to many communities in the four counties.
Three generations of Paustians were in the utility business. Father and grandfather, 
in connection with the operation of a water powered flour millon the Rock River at 
Mayville, introduced electric service to that community in 1895. This was one of the 
earlier electric operations in the state in smaller communities. The Mayville utility 
was sold in 1907 and the Brillion operation was purchased at that time. This was 
later sold to Wisconsin Public Service Corporation in 1922.
Mr. Paustian was a member and past president of Manitowoc Rotary Club, ManitowocTwo 
Rivers (sic) Shrine Club and WPS Quarter Century Club; member of Manitowoc Lodge No. 
65, F and AM, Manitowoc Chapter of Royal Arch Masons, Manitowoc Commandery of Knights 
Templar and Tripoli Temple of Milwaukee. He served as president of the Manitowoc 
Chapter of Barbershoppers during the second year it was organized. He was a member 
of Branch River Country Club, Isaac Walton Conservation Club and Ducks Unlimited and 
a life member of Wisconsin Utilities Association.
Survivors include his wife, a daughter and son-in-law, Arline and I.C. Foster of 
Spartanburg, S.C.; a brother, Albert Paustian of Michigan and five grandchildren

CHARLES PAUTZ

From the Manitowoc County Chronicle Two Rivers Wisconsin, June 1875:
We learn of a singular accident which occurred to a young man named Charles
Pautz.  For some time he has been at work near Appleton, and last Friday
while walking along the road asked of a passing farmer the privilege of a
ride.  It was granted him, and he soon seated himself on a board and the 
farmer drove on.  While going on a somewhat rapid rate the wagon struck a 
stump or stone, and the young man was lifted up from the seat, by the force
of the concussion, and came down again with such force as to cause internal
injuries which ended in his death.  He was brought home here last Saturday
and was buried Sunday, a large number of friends attending his funeral.

FERDINAND PAUTZ    (d. 1870)

FATAL ACCIDENT
One of the saddest accidents it has been our duty to record, occurred on Thursday 
afternoon between three and four o'clock. We get the particulars from Mr. W. Pautz, 
brother of the victim of the sad catastrophe, substantially as follows: At the 
time mentioned above, Mr. Ferdinand Pautz went to the upper story of a barn to 
throw down some bundles of straw. While thus engaged, with a pitchfork, standing 
near the hole in the floor through which he went up, some peas (it is thought) 
under the board on which he was standing, caused it to slide from its place, 
letting Mr. Pautz down. He struck on his head on the lower floor, was taken up 
in an insensible condition, conveyed to his home, and medical assistance summoned. 
When he came to it was found that the portion of his body below the waist was 
paralyzed - there being no feeling whatever in it, as was also the case with his 
right hand. He conversed with his attendants for some time when he fell into a 
sound sleep, awakening from which, he again talked for a time to those around him 
when he fell into a deep sleep from which he never awakened on earth, his spirit 
taking its flight at half past five o'clock yester morning.
Mr. Pautz was between 30 and 35 years of age, a hard working and respected man. He 
leaves a wife and six young children to mourn his untimely fate.
It is the belief of his brother that no bones were broken in the fall.
Manitowoc Tribune  Thursday, August 11, 1870  pg. 1


FRED PAUTZ    (d. 1903)

After an illness of only 2 days Fritz Pautz died Sat. of heart trouble. 
The deceased, a very well known man in Manitowoc, was born 04 Dec. 1832 
in Matzdorf in the Prussian Province of Pomerania. He came to America 
in 1849 and stayed for a while in Milwaukee, then drove an ox wagon – at 
the time the only means of transportation – the length of Green Bay Road 
as far as Town Liberty in Manitowoc County. There in the wilderness he 
cleared land and established a farm. He later moved to Manitowoc City
where he operated a brewery. He filled several elective city and county 
offices and for several years served as City Contractor. He later operated 
a farm in the northern part of Town Manitowoc where he lived for the 
balance of his life. Mr. Pautz was one of the eldest members of the local 
A.O.U.W. and also belonged to the Life Insurance Club of Manitowoc County. 
His wife died in 1883. He is survived by 7 children: Mrs. F.C. Schultz; 
Eduard, Heinrich, Richard, Arthur, Lydia and Amelia Pautz. Fritz Pautz was 
the last of 6 brothers, 4 of whom died within the past few years, 3 within 
the last 2 months. The funeral was held Tues. afternoon at the city cemetery, 
and Pastor Zenk delivered the funeral oration.

WALTER PAVLOWICH

KILLED AS CAR PLUNGES FROM BRIDGE
W. PAVLOWICH MEETS DEATH THIS MORNING
Misses Curve at Twenty-first Street Bridge and Plunges to River Bottom
Missing the turn at the approach of the Twenty-first street bridge while 
en route to his home shortly after 3 o'clock this morning, Walter Pavlowich, 
40-year-old local soft drink establishment owner, and the father of four 
children, plunged to his death when his automobile went throught the flimsy 
protective railing and dropped into the river, about 20 feet below. Death is 
believed to have been practically instantaneous and may have been caused by 
the blow which he sustained when the car went into the river or may have been 
caused by drowning.
Frank and Henry Pozorski, South side residents, were fishing at the bridge 
at the time and summoned police aid and other help but it was nearly an hour 
before Pavlowich could be removed from his automobile, part of which was 
above the surface at the time as the water is extremely shallow at the point. 
In order to remove the man from the car it was necessary to break a window 
and release him in that manner.
Was En Route Home
Pavlowich, a resident of Manitowoc for about six years following his removal 
from Green Bay, was employed at the shipyards prior to his assuming management 
of the former Wergin establishemnt at 1502 Madison street on July 1 of last 
year. He had been on duty at his place last night and after closing early this 
morning was on his way home when the fatal accident occurred. He was driving 
north and had barely reached the south approach of the bridge when he either 
failed to remember the curve or did not see it and continued on the straight 
route to the west.
About 20 feet of protective railing was torn away as the car plunged over the 
side of the bridge to land on its four wheels in the river below. The rear 
end of the car was above the water and Pavlowich, had he not apparently been 
knocked unconscious or been killed in the fall, would have been able to save 
himself by getting into the rear of the car.
May Have Died in Fall
Presence of a scar on the forehead of Pavlowich led to the belief that the 
man may have been killed in his fall and did not meet his death by drowning. 
Authorities who worked to recover the man's body realized that it would be 
impossible to restore life and the man was declared to be dead when Coroner 
W.G. Kemper arrived at the scene shortly after four o'clock.
No inquest into the cause of death will be conducted by the county authorities 
as the case was obviously an accident.
Born in Kewaunee County
Pavlowich was born in Kewaukee county on March 10, 1891 and moved to Manitowoc 
six yars ago. Immediate survivors include his widow, nee Priscilla Bomski; four 
children Norbert, Alvin, Clifford and Arnold, all at home; four brothers, Victor 
in S. Dakota; Wencil, Adam and Jack of Green Bay; a sister, Mrs. Martha Kluceski, 
Green Bay and his father Michael Pavlowich of Green Bay.
Funeral services will be held from the Sacred Heart church Tuesday morning at 
9 o'clock after private services at the Shimek and Schwartz Mortuary on N. 
Eighth street and burial will be at Evergreen cemetery. The funeral home will 
be opened between the hours of 2 and 5 p.m. and 7 and 9 p.m. Sunday and Monday 
to permit friends to view the remains.
