ELLEN ROSE    (d. 1896)

From the Files of the Pilot - Twenty-Five Years Ago - (1896)
Mrs. Rose of this city was burned to death on Sunday afternoon. She was using a 
little kerosene oil stove which caught fire and the poor woman to save the 
building attempted to carry the oil stove down stairs. Her clothing caught fire 
and every stitch of clothes was burned off. Even her stockings were burned. Dr. 
Pritchard says it was one of the worst cases of the burning of a human body he 
ever saw. She did not suffer as much as the serious nature of her injuries might 
lead one to believe. She died seven hours after the occurance of the accident. 
She was an old lady whom every one respected. The poor woman had a great deal of 
trouble during her life from violent deaths of members of her family. She was a 
very kind hearted woman and her unassuming honesty and good life made her hosts 
of friends.

OVERCOME BY GAS
Frank Rose Has Narrow Escape From Asphyxiation at Toledo Hotel
Overcome by gas, Frank Rose, an employe of the Manitowoc Gas Company, had a narrow 
escape from asphyxiation this morning while he was at work with a crew of men 
making repairs to a gas main leading into the Toledo House on York Street. Rose 
was down in the trench making a pipe connection while the flow of gas was turned 
on and though he knew of his danger did not think it necessary to come to the 
surface occasionally to get a supply of fresh air. He was told by his fellows to 
come out of the trench and just as he refused, he toppled over and was pulled out 
with difficulty, the men who went down after him being also affected by the fumes. 
Mr. Rogers of the Toledo House, finally went to rescue and the man was raised to 
the surface. He revived in the open air but felt the effects during the day, being 
weak and affected by nausea.

DAVID ROSINSKY

Grade School Boy Takes His Life By Hanging 
Believed to have been upset when he was refused permission to alight from a 
school bus before it reached his home on Memorial drive just north of Bobbie’s 
store and tavern, David Rosinsky, 14-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry 
Rosinsky took his own life late Wednesday afternoon by hanging in a bedroom of 
his home.
According to Coroner Theodore Teitgen who, along with Sheriff Arthur Truttschel, 
rushed to the Rosinsky home shortly before 5 o’clock, the boy, an eighth grade 
student at the Manitowoc County Normal school, was found at 4:50 by his younger 
sister, Joan, hanging from a bedstead in an upstairs bedroom. The leather belt 
from his trousers was looped around his neck and secured to a post at the head 
of the bed.
Dr. Teitgen said that he and a neighbor, Harold Bartelme, applied artificial 
respiration until the Manitowoc fire department’s inhalator squad arrived on 
the scene about 20 minutes later. Firemen continued to apply oxygen and worked 
over the youngster until 7 o’clock, but to no avail. The coroner pronounced the 
death a suicide.
Angered by Driver 
Upon questioning the boy’s parents, other children in the family and several of 
his school mates, Dr. Teitgen said he was informed that David apparently became 
angered when the driver of the school bus refused to let him off several blocks 
ahead of the regular stop near his home. After alighting from the bus in front 
of Bobbie’s tavern about 3:30 the lad was reported to have picked up a stone and 
threw it at the bus as it moved away toward Two Rivers, cracking a rear window.
David then ran home and was not seen until 20 minutes later. The father told the 
coroner that he had returned from his work in this city about 3:45 and said he 
had not seen his son about the house until Joan called him to the bedroom where 
he found his son slumped from the bedstead. He told the officials that although 
the boy was moody at times, he had not been punished or reprimanded, and knew of 
no trouble his son had been in that might have prompted the act. 
Principal A.R. Thiede of the County Normal school today described David as a 
leading student in his class there and said that he possessed intelligence far 
above the average child of his age. 
County Lacks Equipment 
“David was a very conscientious and dependable boy,” Mr. Thiede said, “and was 
always straightforward in any dealings I have had with him. It was certainly 
nothing that happened at school that upset him.”
Dr. Teitgen said that when he first began to apply artificial respiration about 
10 minutes after the boy was found, he believed he would save the lad’s life as 
a feeble pulse beat was detected. 
“However, it was a case of the county not having the proper equipment to save 
lives,” Coroner Teitgen stated this morning in a blast at the county board for 
refusing to provide funds for the purchase of inhalators. 
“Sheriff Truttschel has applied to the board several times in an effort to impress 
supervisors with the urgent need for such equipment,” Teitgen said. “However, he 
has always been given the same old excuse: ‘Too much money, too much money.’”
“Every one of the county police cars should be equipped with a case containing the 
oxygen tanks and inhalators so that rescue efforts could be started without delay,” 
the coroner stated. 
He said the city firemen did all they could to save the boy’s life but stressed 
the 20-minute delay in getting word to the fire department and their arrival with 
the inhalator.
Funeral Saturday.
David was born in this city on Nov. 12, 1933, and moved with his parents to the 
present home on Memorial drive six years ago. 
In addition to his parents, the boy is survived by four brothers, Robert of this 
city, Donald with the army in Germany, Wayne, 16, and Paul, 8, at home, and three 
sisters, Mrs. Donald Gates of this city, Joan, 10 , and Judy 6, at home. 
Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Shimek and Schwartz 
funeral home here with the Rev. L. M. Schorn officiating. Burial will be in 
Evergreen cemetery.
The body may be viewed at the funeral home frm 2 p.m. Friday until the time of

HERMAN ROSINSKY

Sudden death Thurs. evening last week of Hermann Rozsinsky, the well-known
furniture merchant. Mr. Rozsinsky felt perfectly well all day and that evening
attended the Thanksgiving service at the Lutheran Church. He had just started 
singing when he sank back into his seat. Naturally the service was interrupted 
and nearby Dr. Luhmann summoned. He could only report that the ill man had been 
stricken with a heart attack and that he was probably in his last moments. Death 
followed shortly. His body was taken by ambulance to the family residence on
Buffalo Street. Mr. Rozsinsky was born 07 Oct. 1852 in Grabow, Pomerania, and 
came to Manitowoc as a 15-yr. old with his parents and has lived here ever since. 
Many years he worked in the establishment of W. Rahr Sons Company here, then 
several years ago bought the furniture store of Anton Vogt, which he operated with 
his sons. About 5 yrs. ago he became seriously ill, and it is now thought that 
heart trouble may have begun during that illness. Since then he has felt fine 
except for a cold a few weeks ago. His sudden death was entirely unanticipated and 
came as a terrible blow to his family. The deceased is survived by his father, his 
widow and 3 children. His funeral was held from the Lutheran Church Sun. afternoon 
among a large number of mourners.

Under Sheriff J.M. Cisler, acting under an order from Justie Hubert Falge, called

John Wolter, August Pohl, Henry Kansier, Wm. Gomoll, Julius Sohrweide, and Chas. 
Haase. The jurors met the following morning in the office of Justice Falge and 
pronounced their verdict.
The funeral services were held last Sunday at 9 p.m., the Rev. Machmiller 
officiating. The floral tributes were especially beautiful. The Maennerchor of 
which Mr. Rosinsky was a member, contributed a piece in the shape of a heart,

RICHARD ROSINSKY    (d. 1931)

THREE YEAR OLD BOY KILLED BY AUTO 
R. ROSINSKY IS KILLED IN FRONT OF HOME 
Struck By Automobile Driven By Richard Schaus, 21, and Dies at Hospital 
Injuries he received when struck by an automobile driven by 21-year-old Richard 
Schaus, 1231 S. Thirteenth street, shortly before 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon 
caused the death of three-year-old Richard, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Rosinsky, 
209 Cleveland avenue. The boy died at the hospital a short time after being 
removed to the institution.
The accident occurred in front of the boy’s home as he and a number of youthful 
companions were at play along the side of the street. It was believed that Richard 
dashed into the street as the Schaus car approached and was struck down by it.
Driver Unaware of Death 
Schaus, together with John Frieder, this city, were returning to their homes after 
playing golf during the afternoon. They reported the accident at police headquarters 
a short time after 5 o’clock and stated that they did not see the youth in the road 
and were unaware of the accident until they backed down the street to investigate a 
bump which they had felt.
According to the report they made at the station, they were driving along at about 
20 miles per hour and felt the bump just as they were rounding the curve near the 
car barns of the Wisconsin Public Service company. They said they were uncertain what 
they had struck and had halted their car when two women in a closed automobile 
indicated by signs that something had happened down the street. They returned to the 
spot and found the child in the road but they did not learn the identity of the women 
as the ladies continued on their way after the accident.
Rushed to Hospital 
Dr. A. J. Shimek was driving along almost immediately behind the car driven by young 
Schaus and after a brief examination he ordered the child removed to the hospital 
where he died soon afterward.
The two youths driving in the automobile which struck the child first called Coroner 
W.G. Kemper but the boy was found to be still living when the coroner arrived and was 
then taken to the institution. 
Inquest Ordered
An inquest to determine responsibility for the death will be held this week with the 
coroner ordering sheriff Carstens to draw a jury.
The jury, consisting of T.C. Echardt, Homer Schmitz, E.A. Fritsch, Emil Streich, Robert 
Mrotek and Mandel Halverson viewed the remains at 1 o’clock this afternoon and will 
meet later to hear testimony. It is not expected that evidence will be given before 
next week.
Burial on Tuesday 
Richard Rosinsky was three and one-half years old and was born in Manitowoc on April 19, 
1928. Besides his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Rosinsky, immediate survivors include two 
brothers, Robert and Donald, and one sister, Mary Ann.
Funeral services will be held from the home tomorrow afternoon with Rev. D. G. Ristad 
officiating. Interment will take place at Evergreen cemetery.

William Rosinsky, a resident on Neshoto Road, was found dead in his 
bed Saturday morning. He felt perfectly well when he went to bed 
Friday evening, but a heart attack during the night ended his life. 
The deceased was 83 years old but had been in sound health. He came 
to Manitowoc County in 1853 and has lived here ever since. He leaves 
a sorrowing widow and 6 children. The funeral was held Tuesday
afternoon.
Der Nord Westen, 22 Aug 1907
*********
Mr. William Rosinsky, a pioneer settler of this city, passed away at an early 
hour last Saturday morning at the home of his son Arthur, the cause of demise 
being old age. Death came without warning as Mr. Rosinsky had been in apparently 
good health and spirits in the evening before retiring. Saturday morning when his 
wife arose in her usual manner she found her aged husband sleeping naturally. 
Shortly after 5:30 o'clock she returned to his bed room and found that he had 
expired. His sudden death was a severe shock to his wife and the rest of the 
family. Mr. Rosinsky had always enjoyed good health and did considerable work on 
his farm during the summer.
The deceased was 83 years of age. He was born in Schlinvitz, Germany, in 1824, 
and came to this country in 1857 settling in Manitowoc, where he had ever since 
resided. He was twice married and is survived by a wife and three children besides 
four step-children. The children are Arthur with whom he resided, Paul of Chicago 
and Mrs. Henry Holtz of the town of Manitowoc. The step-children are Mrs. Wm. Frenz, 
Two Rivers, Mrs. Geo Messmann and Mrs. Jacob Young of this city and Chas. Leek of 
Baldwin, Mich. The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon, interment at Evergreen 
cemetery. Rev. Carl Machmiller officiated.

DEATH CAME TO HIM IN NIGHT
Wm Rozinsky, Pioneer, Is Stricken By Heart Failure While in Slumber
Retiring Friday night in the best of health, William Rozinsky, a pioneer of the 
county, was found dead in his bed at the home north of the city this morning, 
death during the night having been due to heart failure. Mr. Rozinsky had visited 
with the family until late Friday evening and planned to be out at 5 in the morning, 
his usual hour and when he failed to appear sometime later an investigatioin was 
made and his dead body discovered.
Mr. Rozinsky was 83 years of age but despite this fact he enjoyed robust health and 
had not known an ill day in a long time. The death of his son four years ago and 
other bereavements in the family had caused his deep sorrow but he had borne up well 
and there was no suggestion of a breakdown. Members of the family heard no sound 
during the night and it is believed that death was peaceful and calm. Coming to 
Manitowoc in 1853, Mr. Rozinsky had resided here ever since and was well and favorably 
known and held in high esteem by many friends. 
An aged widow and six children survive, being Mrs. Bolz, Mrs. J. Young,Mrs. George 
Messman, this city, Mrs. Franz, Two Rivers, Paul of Chicago and Arthur, who made his 
home with his parents on a farm north of the city. The funeral will be held Tuesday 
afternoon from the family home.
