PAUL C. PAAPE

PAUL PAAPE, MIND UNBALANCED, MAKES CERTAIN DEATH BY FIRING TWO BULLETS INTO BRAIN 
Two more tragic deaths were added Sunday to the list of six which have occurred 
in Manitowoc county during the past three weeks, making a total of eight in that 
period, seven suicides and one murder.
Paul Paape, a traveling salesman, whose mind is believed to have been unbalanced, 
made doubly sure of death Sunday afternoon when he fired two bullets into his 
brain at his home on Green street, inflicting injuries from which he died an hour 
later. Physicians who were called were unable to revive Mr. Paape and he died 
without regaining consciousness.
For ten days past Mr. Paape had been ill and had shown signs of a troubled mind 
and Friday it is said that members of the family had found a revolver in his room 
and had secreted the weapon in fear that he might do himself injury. Paape had 
secured another revolver somewhere as the one taken by the family was found after 
his death in the place where it had been hidden and was a smaller weapon.
Ten minutes previous to his death, Mr. Paape had been seated on the porch reading 
a paper. He entered the house and proceeded to his room upstairs and a few minutes 
later the sound of two revolver shots startled the family who found the unfortunate 
husband and father unconscious on the floor with two bullet wounds in the head, the 
first shot having entered the head well to the top and the second near the right 
temple. Mr. Paape did not regain consciousness and died at 6:30, the fatal shots 
having been fired about 5:30. He stood before a mirror as he fired the fatal shots.
Mr. Paape was 57 years of age and was employed by the L. Gould company of Chicago 
as a salesman. Indicating the unsettled condition of his mind in a letter which he 
wrote the firm a week ago in which he complained of having trouble and in response 
to which the Gould company asked an explanation indicating that the letter was a 
rambling one. 
At home, also, he had shown signs of mental derangement, having expressed a fear that 
he was to be deported to Germany and declaring that he would not submit. He labored 
under other hallucinations and for two or three days past had been closely watched 
by members of the family to prevent doing violence to himself.
Mr. Paape was well and favorably known. He was formerly employed with the Torrison 
company and later with the R. G. Olp company, being in charge of the grocery 
department of the Olp store. He had been with the Gould company, dealers in woodenware, 
for six years and was a successful salesman.
Besides his widow, who was formerly Miss Olp, he is survived by three daughters, Mrs. 
G. Halverson, Misses Rose and Clara, all of this city…

(The following is his wife's obit. Much is said about him in her obit.)

LETTERS BRING NEWS OF DEATH OF MRS. PACKARD
Widow of Builder of the First Draw Bridge Here, Dead, 87.
Letters received by friends here announce the death of Mrs. Adeline Packard,
early-day resident of this city and the mother of the late Jay Packard, who
passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. F.G. Young, at Eugene, Ore.
Although Mrs. Packard had not resided here in many years she will be well
remembered by a large number of older residents, to whom the news of her
death will cause sorrow.
Mrs. Packard, who had reached the advanced age of 87, was ill but a few days
before death took her, having suffered from a cold which settled upon her
lungs and affected her heart, her demise being sudden and unexpected. The
body has been interred at Eugene, Ore., but will be brought to Manitowoc this
spring to rest beside the remains of her husband and son at Evergreen.
Born in Bristol, Vt., April 2, 1833, Mrs. Packard, with her parents, came to
Manitowoc in 1847 and it was here, two years later that she was married to
Edwin W. Packard, pioneer bridge and pier boat builder of this city. Mr.
Packard built the first dredge for the village of Manitowoc, a departure in
municipal ownership that proved a failure, a primitive affair compared to 
present-day structures, but one which served its purpose in early days. Mr.
Packard also built the schooners Mary Packard and Dart, the latter vessel
having been lost off Two Rivers Point.
Old residents of the city will recall many of the buildings, docks and piers
which Mr. Packard built, one of which, the old Hoes home, later the old U.S.
hotel, which was converted by Albert Landreth into a pea canning factory to
form the nucleus of the Landreth plant in one of the state's most important
industries, was erected by Mr. Packard, when he was 19 years old. Mr. Packard
died fifty years ago.
Mrs. Packard, who had made her home with her daughter, Mary Packard Young, 
who is the wife of Prof. F.G. Young, a member of the faculty of the University
of Oregon, retained her faculties to a remarkable degree up to the time of her
death, says the letters received by friends here. Mr. Young was formerly 
principal of the Third Ward school here.
Mrs. Packard is survived by her daughter, Mrs. Young, and by two grandchildren,
Miss Frances Packard Young, a teacher at Portland, and Harold Young of Portland,
a prominent business man. A great-grandchild, Margaret Sengstake Young, also
survives.

JOSEPHINE PACKARD

Mrs. Josephine Packard, 85, a resident of Manitowoc for nearly 75 years, died

of health for several months, her death was unexpected.
Funeral services will be held Wednesday at 2 p.m., from the Frazier mortuary, 
the Rev. C.H. Phipps of the Presbyterian church officiating. Burial will be in 
Evergreen cemetery.
Mrs. Packard, nee Josephine Young, was born in 1854 at Rochester, N.Y., and at 
the age of 11 came to Manitowoc to reside with her sister, the late Mrs. G.S. 
Rand. She was married in 1882 to Jay Packard, early day photographer and partner 
of the late A.B. Melendy. Melendy and Packard conducted studios in this city for 
many years. Mr. Packard died in 1918. There were no children.
Mrs. Packard was a member of the First Presbyterian church of this city. In 
recent years she lived with Mr. and Mrs. Charles Anderson, North 10th street, 
until shortly before the death of Mrs. Anderson when she moved to the home of 
Mrs. Charles Mullens. Less than a year ago she moved to the hospital.
Mrs. Packard is survived by a niece, Mrs. Harvey Kingsbacker, of St. Louis, Mo.

LIBBIE (PATCHEN) PAINE

Mrs. Elizabeth Paine Dies at the Home of Daughter Here Today
Private Funeral will be Held For Widow of Pioneer Doctor
After many months of suffering, Mrs. Elizabeth Patchen Paine, 81,
widow of the late Dr. R.K. Paine, one of the pioneer physicians 
of Manitowoc, died shortly before noon today at the home of her 
daughter, Mrs. Charles Zeman, with whom she made her home. The 
deceased suffered a stroke of apoplexy September 14, 1921, and 
had been in failing health since that time.
During the last few weeks of Mrs. Paine's illness, her daughter, 
Mrs. Zeman, has also been confined to her bed, suffering from a 
heart attack.
The funeral services tomorrow afternoon at the Zeman home, 635 
North Eighth street, will be private. Friends are asked to omit
flowers.
The maiden name of the deceased was Elizabeth Patchen. She was 
born in the old "Guyatt House" at Sheboygan Falls, Dec. 20, 1850,
the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Andrew J. Patchen. Her parents had 
just come west by boat with her mother's parents, Dr. and Mrs.
James H. Kellogg, who were moving from New York to Fond du Lac.
She spent her early childhood in Brothertown and Fond du Lac and
came to this city with her parents in June, 1862. Her father, Dr.
Andrew J. Patchen, was the only dentist in Manitowoc for some
years.
She attended school here and entered Platteville normal school. In
1870 she became principal of the primary department of a Two Rivers
school. She was always a serious student and when but 12 years of
age became the organist of the old St. James church, at the corner
of Ninth and Chicago streets. At a very early age she developed 
considerable talent in drawing and painting and devoted most of her
lifetime to studying and teaching this line of work. Her first
studying of art was done under Prof. W.H. Holmes of Chicago, one of
the earliest of public school drawing teachers, and later she became
a graduate pupil of Prof. Burdick of Boston, Mass.
The most notable works of art of Mrs. Paine are five almost life 
size panels of famous sacred pictures at the back of the altar of
St. James church. These burned wood panels required nearly five years
to complete. Reproductions of the same were shown in this paper in
January. So famous did these drawings become that people from many
parts of the country have been coming here to view the work of art
in the St. James church. They were presented to the church by Mrs.
Paine as a memorial to her late husband.
In addition to these works of art, Mrs. Paine has painted several
score smaller pictures in oils and pastels.
In 1872, while visiting a sister in a Chicago hospital, she met the
young house physician, Dr. Richard Kendall Paine, of Orange, Vt.,
and two years later he came to Manitowoc to locate, feeling this
district offered a splendid opening for a young physician and surgeon.
He was married to Miss Patchen October 28, 1874. They built the old
family home which still stands at Eighth and St. Clair streets. The
deceased and a few friends were the first to teach sewing in the
north side public schools until it became possible to have regular
teachers for this work. She was treasurer of St. James parish and
St. Faith's Guild for many years.
Mrs. Paine devoted considerable time in later years to travel and
study of art in other countries. In 1902 she made an intensive tour
of old Mexico and in 1910 of Europe and its splendid art galleries.
Although over eighty years of age, she remained, almost to the last,
keenly alert to the big issues of the day, and to the needs of those
less fortunate, all of whom will greatly miss her.
Her husband preceded her in death in 1904. She is survived by one
daughter, Mrs. Charles Zeman, city, a son, Richard, of Milwaukee, a
grandchild, Valeria Zeman, a brother, Dr. George Patchen of Micco,
Fla., and a sister, Mrs. D. Maloney of Portland, Ore.

********
Persistence....wasn't one of the virtues of Jerome Palmater, who died 
on the Spencer farm in the town of Kossuth the other day at the age 
of 103. In 1849, at the age of 12, Jerome started for Green Bay. He 
stopped at Spencer's overnight. He never left-never even set his foot 
off the farm for the next 91 years. But even if he didn't have 
persistence, Jerome had one quality that most of us lack-he didn't 
allow his goals to blind his love of just plain living. He liked the 
Spencer farm, and stayed awhile. He knew Green Bay wasn't going to 
move away. It would be there for him any time he decided to move on. 
Of course that sort of acquiescence to the present doesn't build 
railroads or dig harbors or conquer empires, but it does bring 
enjoyment. It's good, in these days when ambition is the stock in 
trade of every Tom, Dick and Harry, to see someone who is willing 
to let others do the world's work while he goes about the day to 
day business of living.

George Pankratz died on Friday of last week. He had one of his limbs 
amputated but a few days before his death. Mr. Pankratz had been in 
failing health for a year past, but only until recently was it thought 
the disease would result fatally. He was born in Neuzaavin, Bohemia,

years in Buffalo and then moved to Manitowoc where he engaged in the 
lumber business with Captain Guyles, R.D. Smart and Chris Schoeh. For 
years he ran a sawmill here, but moved it to Sturgeon Bay last year. 
He served two terms as mayor of the city of Manitowoc and was for years 
a member of the school board of the Third Ward School. He did much to 
develop the school interests of the city and neither spared money nor 
effect in this direction. He was a man of most pronounced opinions, 
frank in giving them expression but as genial and kind-hearted a man 
as ever lived. His funeral took place on Sunday and was one of the

heroic efforts of his wife, Dorothea, to help him cling to their capsized sailboat 
for three and a half hours.
He was pronounced dead at St. Joseph Hospital, Chippewa Falls, where he was taken 
after the boat was blown to shore and his wife had summoned an ambulance. A 
coroner’s inquest was being held Wednesday to determine cause of death.
His wife told authorities that the sailboat had capsized about noon in the choppy 
waters near the western shore of the lake. She said she and her husband could not 
turn the boat upright so they hung on to it.

it reached the eastern shore about 3:30 p.m. The boat had been blown about two and 
a half miles across the lake.

outdoors they both enjoyed doing.

to the University of Wisconsin, Madison, in 1954. He received a bachelor of business 
administration degree in 1958. He returned to the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee 
for studies necessary for him to obtain his teaching certificate.
Lincoln Graduate 
He was born in November, 1935, son of Wenzel Panosh of 731 N. Fifth St., and the late 
Mrs. Panosh. He attended Woodrow Wilson Junior High and was graduated from Lincoln High 
School.
Panosh was a key member of a junior rifle team which brought the junior rifle championship 
to Manitowoc from the Wisconsin Rifle Assn. match at Appleton in the spring of 1951.
Mrs. Panosh had been on the faculty of Lincoln High school, Manitowoc, as a math teacher

"I'm Free" Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free. I'm following the path God laid 
for me, I took his hand when I heard him call. I could not stay another day, to 
laugh, to love, to work, to play. Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found 
that peace at close of day. If my parting has left a void, then fill it with 
remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, ay yes, these things I too 
will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of 
tomorrow. My life's been full, I savored much, good friends, good times, a loved 
one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, don't lengthen it now with 
undue grief. Lift your hearts and share with me, God wanted me now, 
He has set me free!
