JEREMIAH REARDON

Monday morning, another and a prominent member of the dwindling forces that 
saved the Union answered the sound of taps when Jeremiah Reardon passed away 
at his home at north 7th & Huron streets. Mr. Reardon had been ill for about 
a year but the public was unprepared for the announcement of his demise and 
the news came as a shock to his many friends. He was born at Lowell, Mass., 
June 3,, 1843 and came to this county in 1958. He was married to Mary Howarth 
of this city, November 9, 1872. In August, 1862 he enlisted in Company K, 
Twenty-first Wisconsin Regiment, was in all the engagements of the 21st up to 
and including the battle of Resaca on May 14, 1964, where he lost an arm from 
a gunshot wound. He was not discharged from service until June 11, 1875 when 
he returned to Manitowoc and has since resided here. He is survived by his 
widow; two children, Edna and Mrs. John Smalley and three grandchildren, all 
of this city. Two sisters, Mrs. John Doolan of this city and Mrs. Katherine 
Fitzgerald of Waupaca also survive.
The funeral was held Wednesday from the Presbyterian church of which he was 
for 17 years sexton. Interment was in Evergreen Cemetery.
Mr. Reardon's death causes sincere regret. In his youth he served his country 
well. He was a good citizen, a kind husband and father and an ideal neighbor. 
Many men who were north side youngsters in the 70's and early 80's recall with 
gratitude his kindly reign as one of the city's two or three "night watchmen." 
He never quite got the civil war out of his system. He never ceased studying 
its history. His death extinguished a knowledge of its commanders, armies and 
campaigns, especially Wisconsin's past, equalled by few living men. He was also 
willing to indulge in reminiscence of his own experiences or dilate on the 
history of the period and he did it modestly and entertainingly. He had been a 
very willing worker in G.A.R. Affairs and his great annual event was his 
regimental reunion. When the country needs defenders again it will be well if 
his kind are here.

WED AND DEPART FOR NEW HOME.
Miss Nell Pedersen and Chas Reddin Married Today-Leave for Minneapolis.
FELLOW EMPLOYES AT SCHUETTE BROS. CO.
Culmination of a friendship that had its beginning while both were employes 
of the Schuette Bros. company, was the wedding today of Miss Nellie Pedersen 
and Charles Reddin two popular young people of the city, the marriage being 
celebrated at the parsonage of the Sacred Heart church and the couple departing 
immediately after boarding the 9:45 west bound train for Minneapolis. Miss 
Margaret Gleason and Thomas Reddin, a brother of the groom, were attendants 
to the wedding which was a quiet one and witnessed only by immediate members 
of the families. The couple will make their home in Minneapolis.
The wedding was a simple ceremony and unostentatious in character. The bride 
was attired in a traveling gown and the wedding plans of the couple on being 
married and leaving the city immediately after, prevented any elaborate 
send-off that might be planned by their friends. The honeymoon of the pair 
will take place at Minneapolis after which Mr. Reddin will resume his occupation 
as a traveling salesman. Minneapolis is about the center of the territory in 
which Mr. Reddin travels and this will permit him to return home every week.
The bride is one of Manitowoc's best known young ladies who has been reared 
here, graduated from the North Side high school and whose many friends will 
wish her the happiness that she is deserving of. She has been a member of the 
force of sales ladies at the Schuette Bros. co. store where the patrons will 
miss her as one of the most genial and accommodating members of the force. The 
groom since leaving the Schuette store has been on the road as a traveling 
salesman, a business at which he has made an unqualified success. He is at 
present traveling for a well known eastern whip house and his territory is 
Minnesota and the Dakotas.

COURT HOUSE FAMILY HONOR NEWLYWEDS, CATO
The court house family, thirty-five strong invaded Cato last night to tender Mr. 
and Mrs. Thomas Reddin a surprise reception and miscellaneous shower preceded 
by an old time charivari with which the couple were serenaded by cow bells, 
circle saws and ever other available noise making machine. The whole affair was 
in the nature of a welcome to Mrs. Reddin as an addition to the court house 
family.
The shower gifts for the couple included every conceivable article for the kitchen, 
spoons, tins, rolling pins and there was an individual gift from each member of 
the invading host. And each gift was separately wrapped and adorned with a little 
verse appropriate to its use, the verses being the work of Miss Elsie Dramm, clerk 
in Mr. Reddin's office.
Miss Kathryn Savage made the speech welcoming the new addition to the family circle 
with Joseph Connell, who told the groom to learn to keep secrets and to never talk 
back and Judge Chloupek, who told the bride to forget the little storm on the 
matrimonial sea, furnishing fatherly advice for the two. Judge Schmidt acted as 
master of ceremonies. Following the reception at the Reddin home the entire party 
adjourned to the dance hall where they enjoyed a real old fashioned dance with the 
music furnished by Theodore Schadeberg and Emil Swenson. Mr. Reddin's parents 
enjoyed the dance as much as any present and showed the youngsters how the old 
time square dance was properly performed. At midnight a lunch was served in the 
dining hall and thereafter the unbidden but most welcome guests took their 
departure for their homes in this city. They all had such a good time that today 
all that could be heard about the court house was the Reddin surprise party.

a result of a fall on the steamer Alva last Friday and the family has been 
notified but as yet no one has appeared to claim the body and no word has

established by communication with Chicago and it was found that the post 
card found among effects of the man, giving the name Harrigan, was written 
by Regan to a friend. The failure of relatives to claim the body has prompted 
the local authorities to notify the mayor of Marion of the death and if no one

The accident happened at 2:30 while the man was engaged in making some repairs 
on the roof of the cabin of the boat. In some ways he lost his balance and was 
precipitated through a hatch into the hold of the boat, the fall being a distance 
of twenty-five to thirty feet. Companions on the vessel summoned the ambulance 
and the injured man was given every attention. Nothing is known as to the identity 
of the injured man who was known aboard vessel as the "Indiana Kid". The youth, 
who is 27 shipped on the Alva from Chicago when the boat left that port to lay up 
here for the winter. There was nothing on the person to aid in identifying him and 
effort will be made to communicate with Chicago to learn who the man is.

NAME IS HARRINGAN (sic)
Postal Card Reveals Identity of Sailor Who was Hurt
A postal card found among the effects of the injured man identifies the sailor hurt 
aboard the steamer Alva, Friday, as George Harringan and it is believed that the 
man's home is in Chicago. Harringan was unknown to other members of the crew and 
there was no way in which his identity could be established. The injuries sustained 
by the sailor are fatal and his death is but a matter of few hours and may occur at 
any moment according to Dr. G.M. Gleason who is in charge of the case. An effort will 
be made to locate his family to send the body to them.

CASPER REGLI

C. F. REGLI, WELL KNOWN BOAT MAN DIES AT HOSPITAL 
C. F. Regli, well known boat and restaurant man, died at the Holy Family hospital 
at 6?30 last night following an attack of heart trouble. Ten days ago Mr. Regli 
had an operation for the removal of his tonsils following which pneumonia set in. 
He had recovered from the attack and on Thursday had expected to return home when 
a complication of heart trouble made his condition serious. Yesterday noon the 
patient suffered a sinking spell from which he apparently rallied during the 
afternoon but death came shortly after 6 o’clock. 
Casper Regli was born at Vesper, Wis. Marc. 10, 1887, and was 34 years of age. For 
many years the family made its home at Sheboygan where the young man became 
interested in boats and followed the lakes as a steward steadily up until a year 
ago. February 23, 1914 he was married to Miss Martha Tegen, daughter of Mrs. August 
Meyer, in this city and the couple worked together each season on lake steamers and 
during the winter made their home here. Seven years ago, Mr. Regli opened the 
Kielsmeier restaurant here. This season he had not followed his usual custom of 
spending the summer on the lake and was in charge of the kitchen at the new George 
Brothers restaurant when he was taken ill.
Deceased is survived by his widow, his stepmother, Mrs. Walker of Sheboygan and one 
sister, Sister Anicela who is a teacher at the St. Agnes school at Fond du Lac. The 
funeral will be held Monday morning with services at Sacred Heart church and burial 
will be at Evergreen cemetery.

MARTHA T. REGLI

Martha Tegen Regli died Sunday night, November 28, 1993, at Shady Lane Home, 
Manitowoc.
Born 99 years ago, she was the eldest child of Fredrick and Marie Tegen. All 
these years she was a resident of Manitowoc even though her work and her travels 
and interests took her away for extended periods. She was educated in Manitowoc 
schools. Residents will recall her as a lecturer, teacher and demonstrator of 
cooking techniques. Nationally she was known at Laura Wilson, director of the 
Mirro Aluminum Test Kitchen. At nineteen she married Casper Regli who was the 
steward on the flagship of the Bohn and Cornelius line of ore carriers. She 
sailed with him on the Great Lakes, visiting all the ports, which served to 
whet her interest in distant places. In her mid twenties, her husband died. Her 
reaction to this trauma was to pack her steamer trunk, book passage on an ocean 
liner and make the first of many trips to Europe. This was not a two week tour 
but an independent journey which took her to all parts of Europe and lasted for 
months. At this time she learned first hand what war does to a country. In 
Germany inflation was rampant and the economy was shambles. For an American 
traveling there at that time it was unreal. She recalled that one time she went 
to a bank to cash a ten dollar travelers check and the teller kept counting marks 
in such quantity she needed a satchel to hold them. A first class ticket from 
Berlin to Vienna cost eleven cents. What this was doing to the native population 
was devastating. A worker would receive his salary one day and unless he spent the 
whole at once, the next day it would only be enough to buy a loaf of bread. Under 
these circumstances she met many families who were hardly surviving and when she 
returned home, she began sending packages of food and clothing. She did this for 
dozens of families out of her own pocket. She also placed milk bottles in Manitowoc 
stores and collected funds in this way to provide milk for the children. As director 
of the Mirro aluminum Test Kitchen she was responsible for creating recipes for 
Mirro pots and pans, for testing such innovative utensils as the Mirro pressure pan, 
for the training of 150 Mirro demonstrators stationed in department stores throughout 
the country, for Mirro cookbooks, and she conducted cooking schools across the 
country. She was also among the first home economists to televise cooking programs 
over major television stations. She was a life member of the Order of the Eastern 
Star.
She is survived by a sister, Margaret Meyer O'Meara of Richmond, Va.; two nieces, 
Elda Kohls Vail of Racine, and Nancy Tegen VandenBoorn of New York City; four nephews, 
Sean O'Meara of Bellingham, Wash., Kevin O'Mera of Los Angeles, Tom Tegen of Annapolis, 
Md., and Jim Tegen of Hingham, Mass. There are numerous grandnieces and nephews. Also 
surviving are many kind friends who made pleasant the days of this nonagenarian.
Memorial Services will be held 11:30 a.m. Saturday, December 4, 1993, at the First 
Lutheran Church Chapel, Manitowoc, with the Rev. Richard E. Lind officiating. Burial 
will have taken place in the Evergreen Cemetery, Manitowoc. The family will greet 
friends at the chapel from 11 a.m. Saturday until services.
Memorials would be appreciated to First Lutheran Church or the charity of your choice.
The Pfeffer Funeral Home, of Manitowoc, is assisting with funeral arrangements.

JOHN F. REHAK

Parents Learn of Son's Death
Report Says Rehak Died In Action
Mr. and Mrs. John Rehak, Sr., of 1125 Park Row, today were notified by 
the War Department their son, Staff Sergeant John R. Rehak, has been 
killed in action in the New Guinea area December 20.
On January 15 the Herald-Times received a special story from the Southwest 
Pacific, advising of Sergeant Rehak's death and announcing that a 
Distinquished Service Cross had been issued posthumously to Rehak by General 
Douglas MacArthur and would be sent to his parents. This was the first news 
the parents here received of the death of their son.
Rehak was cited for leading a detachment against a Jap machine-gune 
emplacement.

Posthumous Dsc. For Staff Sgt. J.F. Rehak
A Distinguished Service Cross, second only to a Congressional Medal of Honor, 
for bravery in action was awarded to Staff Sergeant John F. Rehak, 21, by 
General Douglas MacArthur, Allied Headquarters in Australia. Sgt. Rehak, only 
son of Mr. and Mrs. John Rehak, Sr., 1125 Park Row, was killed in action on 
the Buna front, New Guinea, December 30, while leading his platoon against the 
Japs. The Service Cross, according to the dispatches, is beng sent to his 
parents. Rehak fell only a short distance from the Jap machine gun emplacement 
toward which he was leading the men. His disregard for snipers' bullets and 
machine gun fire inspired his men to make the successful asualt on the well 
entrenched emplacement.
The last word the paretns had from their son was a message Jan. 4 which read: 
"Love and best wishes for Christmas and New Years. All's well." Rehak was a 
graduate of the Lincoln High and left here with Co. E. for Camp Beaurgard, La., 
and the division was later transferred to Camp Livingston, nearby. During his 
stay in the south he made snakes his pets and on a number of occasions sent 
specimens to the local high school. His high school activities included two 
years of football, membership on the prom and class play committees and service 
on the commencement committee in his senior year. He was popular with his buddies.

Medals To be Presented To Parents of Two War Heroes
The parents of two Manitowoc men who were killed in action in the New Guinea 
fighting last December will be presented with the medals posthumously awarded 
their sons at simple ceremonies at their homes Wednesday afternoon.
The Distinguished Service Cross second only to the congressional Medal of Honor 
for services of valor, awarded to Staff Sergeant John F. Rehak, 21, will be 
presented to his father, John Rehak Sr., of 1125 Park Row and the Silver Star 
awarded to Private First Class Harold J. Huebner, 27, will be presented to his 
father, Albert J. Huebner of 1607 Columbus street.
While a public ceremony was planned for the presentation of these medals, the 
wishes of the parents were first determined and when it was learned that they 
would rather have simple ceremonies at their homes the local committee working 
with officials of the Sixth Service Command of the Army decided to abide by their 
wishes. The awards are to be presented to the fathers of the boys, but the mothers 
of both boys are living and will share in the honors.
Co. C.J. Otjen of Milwaukee, Wisconsin commander of the Sixth Service command, 
will make the presentations. The presentation at the Huebner home will take place 
at 2 p.m tomorrow and that at the Rehak home will take place at 3 p.m. Lieutenant 
L.A. Sheahan, area commander under Col. Otjen for this area, will act as master of 
ceremonies.
Only Col. Otjen and his staff, along with Lieut. Sheahan will be present for the 
ceremonies. Col. Otjen and his staff will come here directly from Milwaukee. From 
here they will go to Oconto where another Distinguished Service Cross will be 
awarded at public ceremonies at 8 p.m. This will be presented to the widow of Maj. 
Edward R. Schroeder who was killed in New Guinea on Jan. 3.
About two months ago Maj. Gen. H.S. Auran, commander of the Sixth Service Command, 
Chicago, planned to come here to make the presentation of the DSC to the Rehaks but 
his illness at that time caused cancellation of the ceremonies planned then. Since 
that time the setup of the service commands has been altered and the district 
commanders have complete charge of their districts and they make presentations 
formerly made by the commander.
Both Staff Sergeant Rehak and Private First Class Huebner were killed last December, 
Rehak on Dec. 30 while leading his platoon against the Japs and Huebner on Dec. 20 
while attempting to give first aid to a wounded soldier lying in view of a Japanese 
machine gun emplacement. Both were members of the Red Arrow division, being attached 
to the 127th Infantry regiment. Staff Sergeant Rehak left here with Company E in 
Ocotber 1940. Private First Class Huebner left here with one of the first groups of 
selectees in March, 1941, and after training in Louisiana was sent to Australia and 
attached to a medical detachment of the 127th Infantry.
The Disinguished Service Cross is a bronze cross surmount-
(Continued on Page 11, Col. 4)

(continued from Page 1)
ed by an American eagle on a laurel wreath. The inscription "For Valor" appears on 
the scroll emerging from the lower arm of the cross. The medal suspends from a blue 
ribbon having narrow stripes of red and white along its sides, the red on one side 
and the white on the other. It is strictly an Army decoration.
Staff Segeant Rehak fell only a short distance from the machine gun emplacement toward 
which he was leading his men. His disregard for sniper's bullets inspired his command 
to make the successful assault on the well entrenched emplacement, according to the 
citation made at the time of the award of the DSC. The award was made by General Douglas 
MacArthur.
The silver Star is awarded to persnons who, while officers or enlisted men in the Army, 
are cited for gallentry in action in orders issued by the War Department or emanating 
from the headquarters of a United States force commanded by a general officer.
The citation from Lieut. Gen. Robert L. Eichelberger when he awarded Private First Class 
Huebner the Silver Star said he completely disregarded his own safety and went forward 
under heavy machine gun fire to give first aid to a wounded soldier who had fallen in 
the enemy fire lane only a short distance from a machine gun emplacement. His courageous 
act greatly aided the morale of his unit. Huebner was killed by fire from the same 
emplacement.

NEWTON MAN MEETS TRAGIC DEATH
C. REHBEIN CRUSHED BY HEAVY TIMBER
Caught Under Falling Wall of Building He was Wrecking and Killed Instantly
Caught under falling timbers of a house he was wrecking on his farm six 
miles south of Manitowoc on the Lake Shore road in the town of Newton, 
Clarence Rehbein, 36, was instantly killed late Friday afternoon, suffering 
a broken neck, broken shoulder and other injuries. Mr. Rehbein was dead 
when fellow workers reached his side.
The tragedy occurred at 3 o'clock as Mr. Rehbein and others were completing 
the work of tearing down the old house on the Rehbein farm. The floor of the 
second story had been removed and a block and tackle had been rigged up, with 
a chain running to a tree, to complete the demolishment of the structure 
which was to be pulled down with the frame. Rehbein was standing at the corner 
of the building directing the work and when the chain was tightened and the 
pull on the structure was started, the entire frame suddenly collapsed and 
before the unfortunate man could get out of the way he had been caught and 
crushed under the timbers.
Task Nearly Completed
The work in which Mr. Rehbein with a nephew Harold Dinkleman, So. Milwaukee 
were engaged, had all but been completed when the accident occurred. Physicians 
summoned said that Mr.Rehbein was probably killed instantly by the blow of the 
timbers. He had operated the farm as a truck farm for six years, the property 
being the old Rehbein homestead.
Native of County
Mr. Rehbein was a native of Newton, born there September 6, 1894. He early became 
a rubber worker and traveled extensively for many years and at one time served in 
the regular army and was in service at the Mexican border. During the world war 
he was stationed at Camp Hancock, Ga.
After discharge from the service Mr. Rehbein located at Racine where on March 10, 
1919 he was married to Edna Ehlers who, with two children, (private), survive him. 
The family returned to Manitowoc six years ago and Mr. Rehbein engaged in farming 
on the old homestead. Besides his wife and children he is survived by his mother, 
Mrs. Martha Rehbein 1321 South Fifteenth street, this city, one brother, Arthur 
at St. Croix and five sisters all residents here, being Mrs. Henry Sachse, Mrs.

EDGAR REICHARD

BOY DROWNED AT BEACH
Edgar Reichard, aged ten years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Reichard, 523 N. Ninth 
Street, was drowned at the Southside municipal bathing beach Monday afternoon. 
Some distance south of the bath house there was a trench running out from the 
shore, dredged for a new lake intake of the city utilities plant. It is 12 to 15 
feet deep. A rope about on the water surface parallel the trench to mark the limit 
of safety. The Reichard lad and a boy named Stippeck were playing south of the 
line near the trench without attracting the attention of the beach attendant, 
Theodore McElroy. Cries attracted his attention. He ran there and pulled Stippeck 
from the trench. This boy when sufficiently recovered said that another boy was in 
the hole. The Reichard boy apparently never rose to the surface. His body was taken 
out by hooks by police about fifteen minutes later. Efforts by physicians to 
resuscitate him were fruitless. The Stippeck boy had almost drowned attempting to 
save his companion. The unfortunate lad is survived by his parents, three brothers 
and a sister. He was a bright and popular boy. The funeral is being held today.
Next day the mayor, after a conference at the city hall sent the attendant the following 
notice:
Pending an investigation by city officers into the conditions that have been prevailed 
at the South side bathing beach, you are suspended from your employment as attendant at 
that beach until the result of the investigation has been determined. This is not a 
prejudging of your conduct at the beach and is not intended as a reflection upon your 
work which may or may not be approved when the result is announced.
To: Mr. Theodore McElroy
Martin Georgenson
The action is said to have been under consideration for several weeks due to complaints 
of the manager of conducting the beach. There is said to be no thought of blaimng the 
tragedy on the attendant. Yesterday the mayor definitely discharged the Southside 
attendant McElroy and suspended Christianson, the Northside attendant. He stated that 
the evidence was cumulative that matters for weeks had not been well attended to at the 
Southside beach. The complaints did not go to the bather's safety in the water as to 
other matters.

HERMAN REICHERT    (d. 1900)

TOOK DEADLY POISON
Herman Reichert Swallows Carbolic Acid at Evergreen Cemetery
IS APPARENTLY CAUSELESS
Body Found By Sexton at Six O'Clock Last Evening-
Funeral To Be Held Thursday
Seized with some fearful delusion, Herman Reichert ended his earthly 
existence at Evergreen Cemetery yesterday afternoon. The deed must 
have been committed at about five o'clock, but the body was not found 
until shortly after six. Emil Schroeder, the sexton, happened to be 
walking through the cemetery at about that time, when he saw someone 
lying apparently motionless across a grave. Upon investigation it was 
found that the body was that of Reichert and that life had been extinct 
for some time. Officers were notified and Patrolman Gunder Benson took 
charge of the remains, which were at first taken to Frazier's morgue 
and later to the home of the deceased. Upon investigation it was found 
that Reichert had made away with himself by the use of carbolic acid. 
A bottle of that poison was found upon his person and drops of the 
liquor had evidently been spilt after he had taken the deadly draught 
for his face was burnt in spots. The body was carefully searched and 
besides the poison a bottle and an old revolver were found. The latter 
had certainly not been used for some time, for it was rusty and could 
not be fired. It is thought that the fact that Reichert was a special 
officer explains its presence upon his person. Two pocket books, one 
containing sixty five cents and the other some tobacco, a bunch of keys, 
a watch, lead pencil and some matches were also found in the dead man's 
pockets. Beneath where he lay were some scraps of paper on which were 
scribbled some unintelligible marks. All that could be made out was one 
little slip which was written "Good Bye Mamma." The spot where the 
suicide chose to close his career was the grave of his first wife. 
The coroner's inquest was held before Justice Markham this morning, the 
jury consisting of G.M. Frase, August Ladwig, Richard McGuire, Emil 
Schroeder, Peter Erickson, and Joseph Wolda. Considerable testimony was 
heard and it developed that Reichert had purchased the carbolic acid at 
the drug store of Knutzen & Roberts Monday morning at about ten o'clock. 
When asked by the clerk what he intended to use it for he said he wished 
to mix a wash for a horse and went on to say that he put twenty drops of 
the drug into a pint of water. He remained In the store about fifteen 
minutes, conversing about different matters. On the same day he visited 
Klingholz's store to see about a broken lamp, and there seemed to be 
perfectly rational. After a consideration of the evidence, the jury 
determined upon the verdict as follows: "That Herman Reichert came to 
his death on July 23, 1900, at Evergreen Cemetery, in this city of 
Manitowoc, by his own hand by poisoning." 
Reichert was forty three years of age, having been born in Germany 
August 24, 1867. At an early age he emigrated with his family to 
California and when still a boy came to Manitowoc, where he has since 
resided. For about seventeen years he was still employed at Henry 
Schmidt's livery barn, but for the last three years he has been a 
finisher in the local factory of the American School Furniture Company. 
His first wife died some years ago and he again married, both wives 
being daughters of Mr. Kubitz. By his first wife he had two children, 
George and Edward, to whom it is said the deceased has always been 
devotedly attached. As far as it is known no domestic troubles have 
existed that might have led to this terrible deed. Until quite recently 
Reichert had not been drinking. He was a kind husband and a good neighbor 
and a pall is cast over the community by his untimely death. Interment 
will take place at Evergreen Cemetery Thursday afternoon. Several 
relatives are expected to be here in time to attend the funeral.
Manitowoc Daily Herald, Tuesday, July 24, 1900, Page 1
*********
Mon. evening cemetery watchman Emil Schroeder found the lifeless body of
Hermann Reichert on one of the graves. A coroner’s inquiry determined that
Reichert had committed suicide by drinking carbolic acid mixed with whiskey. 
The 43-yr. old man was born in Germany but came to America with his parents 
while he was still a boy. He worked 17 years for Henry Schmidt and for the 
past three years for the Manitowoc Seating Co. His wife died several years 
ago leaving him with 2 children.
He later married his late wife’s sister, the widow of Henry Herzog, who 
brought 5 children to the marriage.
