Car-Train Collision Kills County Man 
Passenger Is Victim, Driver Hurt Slightly 
E. W. Strodthoff Dies of Head, Chest Injuries 
A car-train collision two miles south of the city and just east of Clover 
Wednesday afternoon killed a passenger in the automobile but the driver escaped 
apparently without serious injury.
The victim, Erwin W. Strodthoff, 69, of Rt. 4, Manitowoc died at Memorial Hospital 
less than two hours later of injuries received in the accident. Dr. Theodore A. 
Teitgen county coroner, said he suffered severe head and chest injuries and 
multiple fractures.
(snip)
Unprotected Crossing 
The accident occurred shortly after 3:15 p.m. on a black-topped Town of Newton road 
at an unprotected crossing one-fifth of a mile east of US Highway 141.
Investigating county police offices reported that the Kalies vehicle was proceeding 
west on the town road when it slid on the slippery snow packed surface into the 
first coach behind the engine of a southbound Chicago and North Western passenger 
train. The car was ripped apart and pieces of it were strewn 150 feet along the 
tracks. The main section of the wreckage was dragged to a point 87 feet south of the 
crossing.
(snip)
Kalies told officers that he saw the train approaching and that he tried unsuccessfully 
to stop the vehicle on the slippery road. He and Strodthoff were salesmen for bulk 
milk plant equipment and reportedly had been visiting farms in the area. 
Police said the Kalies car left tire marks of more than 100 feet leading to tracks.
The impact tore the engine completely out of the car. Part of the radiator flew into 
the air and wrapped itself around a guide wire or cable at a point 10 to 12 feet 
from the ground.
At eye witness to the accident was Vernon Glaeser of Rt. 3, Manitowoc, who said he 
was stopped on the opposite or west side of the crossing when the accident occurred. 
Miss Mary Witczak of 1222 S. 19th St., Manitowoc, a recently graduated nurse, was a 
passenger on the train and gave first aid treatment to the injured at the scene…
Strodthoff was born April 15, 1896, at Manitowoc, son of the late Herman and Minnie 
Vogelsang Strodthoff. He married May Chapman at Manitowoc and the couple located at 
Man-…(Turn to Page2-M, Col. 4)  Car-Train Hit (Cont. from Page 1)...itowoc Rapids. 
He worked for a division of the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co., White House Milk 
Co., until four years ago when he retired and had been a salesman for Zeo bulk milk 
plant equipment since. He was a former school board member, advisor of the Explorer 
Scouts and a member of the Men’s Club of Wesley Methodist Church. His wife died 
Oct. 10, 1949.
Survivors are two sons, Glenn of Rt. 4, of Manitowoc, and Wayne, of Superior and a 
daughter, Mrs. Annabelle Jerdee, of Tomah, Wis., and two grandchildren.
Funeral services will be at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Wesley Methodist Church. The Rev. 
Donald T. Stannard will officiate and burial will be in Evergreen Cemetery.
Friends may call at Urbanek and Schlei Funeral home after 3 p.m. Friday until 10:30

ANTON D. STROUF

Well Known Attorney Shoots Self To Death 
The body of Atty. Anton D. Strouf, 55, chairman of the Manitowoc County 
Democratic Committee, attorney here since 1921, and former member of the 
Wisconsin and Montana legislatures, was found in a room at the Glenn Inn 
at 11 o’clock this morning, a bullet hole in his right temple.
Dr. Gerald Rau, Two Rivers, county coroner, pronounced the case a suicide 
and estimated that Mr. Strouf had been dead six or eight hours. No inquest 
will be necessary, he said.
No One Heard Shot 
Atty. Strouf had registered at the Glenn Inn early last evening, according 
to Ole Johnson, hotel employe. He requested a room and told Johnson that his 
family was out of the city. This morning hotel employes noticed that the door 
to the room occupied by Strouf was locked and the light was burning. There was 
no sound from within. They placed a chair in front of the door, looked through 
the transom and found the body on the bed. No one had heard a shot.
Charles Reitmeyer, proprietor of the Glenn Inn, notified the sheriff’s office 
and Deputy Elder Wetenkamp, in turn, called police headquarters. Detective 
Sergeant Walter Herman forced open the door of Strouf’s room.
Mr. Strouf’s clothes were hung on a chair and his brief case was on the dresser. 
A .32 calibre revolver was in his hand and the leather revolver holster was on 
the bureau.
Mr. Strouf was born in the town of Kossuth Nov. 19, 1884.
Taught Rural Schools
He was educated in the public schools of the town and was graduated from the 
County Rural Normal school. He taught in rural schools of the county for 
several years and served a term in the Wisconsin assembly, 1910-1911. He 
attended the Chicago Law college from 1907 to 1910 and in 1912 was admitted to 
the bar. For a number of years he practiced law at Great Falls, Montana, and 
during his residence there served a term in the state senate.
In 1921 Mr. Strouf returned to Manitowoc county and formed a law partnership 
with Adolph Johnson under the firm name of Strouf and Johnson. When Mr. Johnson 
left to take a position with the securities division of the State Public Service 
Commission Mr. Strouf continued his law office alone. In 1931 he formed a 
partnership with Richard Torrison and some years ago took his son, Atty. Lloyd E. 
Strouf, into the firm. The junior Strouf has been connected with the Internal 
Revenue Department for several years with offices at Madison.
Mr. Strouf married Miss Caroline Wenner of Mishicot on Oct. 12, 1912. They resided 
at 1505 Michigan avenue. Besides the widow and one son, Lloyd, survivors are his 
father, John Strouf of Deuton, Mont., five brothers, Leo of Sheridan, Wyo., Frank 
of Great Falls, Mont., Edward and William of Denton, Mont., and Reuben of Stanford; 
and five sisters, Mrs. F. C. Baugniet, Mrs. Fred Mohr 
(Cont. on page 2, Col. 6) WELL KNOWN LAWYER COMMITS SUICIDE (Cont. from page 1)… 
and Mrs. A.W. Wranovsky all of Francis Creek, Mrs. Edgar Suhr of Great Falls, Mont., 
and Mrs. Leo. Rysticken of this city.
Long a Democrat
Mr. Strouf was affiliated with the Democratic party from the time he became of 
voting age. He was the party’s nominee for district attorney in 1932 and for 
county judge in 1934. In 1937 Atty. Strouf was one of signers of the call for a 
state coalition conference of Democrats and Republicans at Madison. He was active 
in the coalition campaign which followed. 
He succeeded Arthur Auton as chairman of the Manitowoc County Democratic Committee 
several months ago. 
Atty. Strof was also active in fraternal organizations. He was a member of the 
Knights of Pythias, Eagles, the Z.C.B.J., the Manitowoc County Bar Association and 
the Wisconsin State Bar Association.
Funeral arrangements will be announced Wednesday.

CARL H. STRUCK

Struck, Tailor 60 Years, Dies 
Carl Struck, 73, of 2410 South Tenth street, Manitowoc, who plied the tailoring 
trade he learned from his father and brother in Germany for nearly 60 years, 
died Tuesday morning.
Moving to Manitowoc in 1919 he operated two shops for a number of years and in 
recent years set up a small shop in the rear of his home, to follow the trade 
he started to learn as a boy of 14 years, in the far off fatherland.
Funeral services for Mr. Struck will be held at 2 p.m. Friday at the first German 
Evangelical Lutheran church, Manitowoc. The Rev. L. H. Koeninger will officiate

He was born in Bad-Tyrmont, Germany, in 1877. He worked learning the tailoring 
trade for three years without pay. In 1899 he took a course in cutting at a shop 
in Munich, Germany, and after 10? years of working, traveling and study, became 
a master tailor.
Mr. Struck married Miss Johanna Puellmann in 1902 and in the spring of 1914, 
accompanied by his wife and four children, came to the United States. At the 
suggestion of his brother in law they located in South Dakota, but did not relish 
the cold of winter and dry heat of summer. In 1916 the Strucks moved to Newton, 
and he commuted to Manitowoc to find work in tailoring shops.
Every day in fair weather or foul he drove his horse and buggy or cutter back and 
forth over seven miles of country roads. In 1919 the family moved to Manitowoc. 
He had two shops on Washington street and in recent years has operated his shop 
in the rear of his home.

MARIE STUPECKY    (d. 1865)

Mysterious Death. 
We are again compelled to record one of those mysterious deaths for which our 
county seems to be unfortunately noted. Mrs. Marie Dubetzky, a resident of 
Reedsville, left her bed and house in that village on Tuesday morning, about 
2 o'clock, and although search was immediately made for her, she was not found 
until 5 o'clock in the afternoon, when her lifeless body was discovered in the 
creek within a few rods of her dwelling. Her age was about 24, and she left a 
husband and two children. She was a daughter of Mr. John Stupecky, and her 
friends cannot understand the cause of her sudden and mysterious death, except 
on the ground that she was subject to fits, and while in one of them met with 
her untimely end. As she left the house with no other apparel but her night 
clothes, it is very probable that this supposition is a correct one. Her funeral 
took place in this village yesterday (Thursday) afternoon.

(Note: She also has an entry under Marie Dubetsky which was given to the cemetery

CAROL M. STURM

INJURED GIRL DOESN’T KNOW FRIEND KILLED 
Doris Moakler, In Hospital, Tells How She Tried To Save Carol Sturm
A dramatic story of an heroic but unsuccessful attempt to save the life of 
Carol Sturm, 15, of 21st and Western avenue, was told to Dr. Theodore Teitgen, 
county coroner, today by Doris Moakler, 14, of 2915 Western avenue.
From a hospital bed this morning Doris told Dr. Teitgen of helping Carol free 
her foot when she became stuck between railroad ties on the Soo Line bridge 
west of 21st street and then getting her to lie down alongside the tracks to 
escape an oncoming freight train.
The freight struck Carol as she lay beside the track, killing her. It hit 
Doris and threw her to the ice covered river 12 feet below where she broke 
through the ice into the cold water.
As Doris told the story she still had not been told that Carol had been killed. 
She is suffering cuts above her left eyebrow and on the back of her head, severe 
shock and back injuries. Her condition today was called “good.” Her doctor was 
taking x-rays but said the back injuries were not believed serious.
Doris said this morning that she and Carol began to run when they saw the freight 
train coming behind them as they crossed the bridge. Carol’s foot became stuck.
“I helped her free herself.” Dr. Teitger quoted Doris.  “It was too late to get 
off the bridge so I told Carol to lie down alongside the tracks. I lay down ahead 
of her. The train hit me and knocked me into the river.”
“How is Carol?...”
Two Others Unhurt
June Paulsen, 15, of 714 South 28th street, and Beatrice Toston, 14, of 719-A 
South 20th street, who were with the Sturm and Moakler girls on the bridge, 
today told District Attorney John C. Danielson and Dr. Teitgen how they escaped. 
The girls met at the Paulsen home yesterday and left there shortly after 2 o’clock. 
They were going to the Green Bay hill near the high bridge west of the city to 
watch some boys who were skiing. When they arrived at the Soo Line bridge they 
argued for a few moments about whether to cross the river on the ice or the 
railroad trestle. They decided on the bridge when one of the girls said the ice 
would not be strong enough.
The Paulsen and Toston girls were about 30 feet ahead of the others when they 
neared the far end of the bridge. One of them called out that she saw smoke of 
a train but another said it was steam from the condensary. A moment later the 
train appeared behind them. The Paulsen and Toston girls hurried off the bridge. 
They did not see the accident. As  they turned they saw the train pass and saw 
Carol’s body on the bridge, they said. Doris was below, having fallen to the 
river and broken through the ice. 
2 Men Saved Doris 
Police said today that Arthur and Sherman McKay, 138 River Drive, pulled Doris 
from the river and took her to the home of Thomas Korbal, foot of 21st street. 
From there she was taken out by police and sheriff’s officers and dragged in 
the police Red Cross boat to the city ambulance. She was taken to the hospital.
Carol Sturm’s body was put aboard the freighter, which backed into the Soo Line 
depot.
Police, the fire department, coastguardsmen and the sheriff’s office all joined 
in covering the accident. They had to drag the Red Cross boat to the Korbal home 
as no roads were open. No roads approach the bridge and men had to wade through 
snow to reach Carol Sturm’s body.
Officers were sent to the wrong bridge by an excited woman who reported the 
accident. They went to the Soo Line bridge at the ship yards but a moment later 
received correct directions and went to the bridge west of 21st street.
Funeral Monday 
Funeral services for Miss Sturm will be held on Monday at 8:30 a.m. from the 
Pfeffer Funeral Home and at 9 o’clock at St. Paul’s Catholic church, the Rev. 
Martin Jaekels officiating. Burial will be in Evergreen cemetery. Father Jaekels 
will lead recitation of the rosary on Sunday evening at 7 o’clock.
The body will lie state at the Pfeffer Funeral Home after Sunday morning.
Carol was born on September 6, 1926, in Manitowoc, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 
Leo Sturm. She was graduated from St. Paul’s parochial school and took her first 
year of high school work at Washington junior high school. She was a sophomore 
at Lincoln high school this year. 
She is survived by her parents, one brother, Jack, and her grandmother, Mrs. Anna 
Tomchek, all of Manitowoc.
