Mrs. Anton Schaaf, Died Suddenly in New York City Sunday
TO BRING BODY HERE
Unexpected, sudden death of Mrs. Anton Schaaf, nee Etta Wills, a former Manitowoc resident at New York city Sunday reached relatives and friends here in a telegram Sunday evening and was a shock that carried with it sincere mourning to many who had known decedent in life. Except that the death was sudden, no details of the demise were told by the message. She was 36 years of age.
Until ten years ago a resident of this city and since her marriage at that time, a frequent visitor, Mrs. Schaaf was widely known and the news of her death will bring sorrow to many friends. She was a daughter of the late Henry Wills, whose death occurred a year ago and her mother, Mrs. Hannah Wills still resides here and had been visited by her daughter every year. It was planned that Mrs. Wills should return to New York with Mrs. Schaaf when the latter came here this summer. In a letter two weeks ago to friends here, Mrs. Schaaf old of the removal of the family to a new home at Brooklyn and of her contentment and happiness. She was an accomplished and talented musician and had won considerable prominence through her musical attainments.
Though at first planned to hold the funeral in New York, the request of the mother, Mrs. Wills, that the body be brought here for burial in the family lot at the side of the father, had been acceded to and the remains will be here probably Tuesday evening and the funeral will be held from the Wills home.

CARL SCHAEFER    (d. 1918)

KILLED IN FALL FROM WINDOW
Carl Schaefer fell from a window at the county asylum while trying 
to get out of his room Monday night and was killed. Mr. Schaefer, 
who was 82 years of age had been in failing health for a long time 
and his mind had become afflicted. His aged wife is ill and it was 
found impossible to care for him at home and he was sent to the 
hospital and later removed to the asylum where he was given a room 
on the second floor. The windows were protected by a screen, both 
inside and out, it having been said that Mr. Schaefer had a penchant 
for opening windows. Shortly after 2 o'clock Tuesday morning 
attendants discovered Mr. Schaefer was not in his room and upon 
investigating found that he had forced the screen and attempted to 
escape by using a bed sheet as a rope. But he fell to the ground and 
as stated above, was killed.
He was born in Germany and came to this country when a boy. He was an 
old resident of this city and was engaged in the tailoring business 
for many years. He was a Civil War Veteran. He is survived by his wife 
and one daughter, Miss Emma Schaefer.

61 YEARS A TAILOR
Carl Schaffer(sic), Who Passes 75th Milestone Today, In Business Long time
Carl Schaffer, one of the city's best known pioneers, today passed the 75th 
milestone in life's journey and has rounded out sixty-one years in his profession 
as a tailor, a record equaled by few men in the city in any line of business. Mr. 
Schaffer, despite his years is in excellent health and spirits and is actively 
engaged in his work. He came to Manitowoc first in '62 but did not remain having 
enlisted for service in the army and it was not until 1865 that he permanently 
located here and he has been a resident since. Mr. Schaffer conducts a tailoring 
shop on No. 11th Street where he owns his home. He has been prominent as a member 
of the Odd Fellows and other organizations and enjoys the respect and esteem of 
all who know him. Here's hoping he may live to reach the century mark.

South Side Butcher Meets With Most Painful Injuries
John Schaeffer, the popular butcher, whose shop is on the corner of South 
Fourteenth and Washington street met with a peculiar and very painful accident 
Thursday morning. He was cutting up beef and as is the custom gave a quarter a 
mighty swing in order to impale it upon one of the hooks, protruding from the 
wall. In doing so however he miscalculated, his hand slipped and the sharp 
point of a lower hook entered at the elbow of his right arm, and penetrating 
the arm, came out on the inner side. In an agony of pain the butcher wrenched 
his limb free and with some assistance bandaged it and went to a physician. 
The injured man showed remarkable grit, and if blood poison does not set in, 
will probably recover the use of the arm. It has been found necessary to use 
solutions on the wound in order to mitigate the excruciating pain.

ERWIN SCHALOWETZ

FIVE YEAR OLD BOY RUN DOWN BY AUTO, YORK ST.
Crushed under the wheels of a delivery car of the Kielsmeier creamery 
when he was struck by the car in attempting to cross the street ahead 
of it, Irwin, five year old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Schalowetz, York 
street, was seriously, if not fatally, injured late this afternoon. 
The child suffered a concussion of the brain and was severely injured 
on the leg over which the car passed. The accident is said by witnesses 
to have been one of those unfortunate happenings for which no one can 
be blamed. 
The driver of the car had turned his machine to avoid a wagon just as 
the child stepped from the curb to cross the street. The car was 
proceeding at a slow speed and was stopped within a few feet after 
striking the boy. The child was carried into the home of Frank Forestor, 
near by and a physician called. The condition of the child is critical.

BOY RUN DOWN BY AUTOMOBILE SATURDAY DIES SUNDAY; 
1ST FATALITY OF KIND IN THE CITY LITTLE IRWIN SCHALOWITZ, AGED 3, 
FAILS TO SURVIVE INJURIES SUSTAINED WHEN STRUCK BY CAR OWNED BY 
KIELSMEIER BROS., AND SUCCUMBS AFTER TWENTY HOURS
Manitowoc has had its first automobile tragedy, little Irwin Schalowetz, 
run down by an automobile owned by Kielsmeier Bros. on York street, 
Saturday afternoon, having succumbed to injuries sustained Sunday morning 
at 11 o’clock. The child’s death occurred at the hospital where he had 
been removed late Saturday. News of the death of the boy, who was but 
three years old, caused a sensation in the city and awakened widespread 
sympathy for parents of the babe and for Walter Kielsmeier, who was the 
driver of the car when the terrible accident occurred. 
The accident happened at 3 o’clock Saturday afternoon on York street, 
between Ninth and Tenth streets. Mr. Kielsmeier was proceeding west on 
York street at a slow speed when the child stepped from the curb on the 
north side of the roadway, directly in the path of the car, and was 
struck by the front wheel of the machine. The wheel struck the babe’s 
head causing a fracture at the base of the brain. The body was pushed 
along the pavement and several abrasions were made upon the leg but 
aside from this the body was not marked. The child’s arm appeared to 
have been injured but no bones were found broken, and there were no 
internal injuries. At the time of the accident a moving van was backed 
up to the curb on the opposite side of the street where Mr. Niles, 
grandfather of the dead child was loading his furniture to move. The 
child had been a great favorite with Mr. and Mrs. Niles and it is 
presumed wanted to get across the street where Mrs. Niles was. Mr. 
Kielsmeier had turned his machine a little so as not to pass too near 
the horse attached to the moving van and just as he reached a point 
in line with the van, the child ran from the curb to cross the street 
and was struck by the automobile. 
Witnesses say that the wheels of the machine did not pass over the boy’s 
body and that Mr. Kielsmeier stopped within a few feet, indicating that 
the driver was proceeding slowly. The injured boy was carried to the 
home of the Forestors and Dr. C.M. Gleason was summoned and dressed the 
injury to the leg and cared for the little sufferer who was later taken 
to the hospital where he lingered through the night and early morning, 
death coming at 11 o’clock Sunday morning. The little victim of the 
tragedy was three years old, the report Saturday that he was five years 
old being an error. 
He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. John Schalowetz and was a bright little 
fellow. The parents are prostrated. Manitowoc has been fortunate in 
escaping automobile tragedies of this nature, the death of the Schalowetz 
boy being the first within the city, though two years ago a little girl 
named Pleuss residing near Silver Lake died from injuries sustained when 
she was run down on the road near Brown’s corner. 
Coroner Falge and District Attorney Schmitz held a conference this morning 
and an inquest was decided upon in the Schalowetz case and a jury will be 
drawn. While the case appears to be an accident that was unavoidable under 
the circumstances, Coroner Falge believes that an inquest should be held 
and ordered one. Mr. Kielsmeier, driver of the car, was overcome by the 
accident and personally hurried to summon a physician after assisting in 
caring for the injured child. The inquest was called at 2 o’clock this 
afternoon, the following jury having been sworn: George Orth, Wm. Buenning, 
Wenzel Kadow, Charles Gruhle, J.G. Lehmkuhl and Frank Guse, Jr. A number 
of witnesses have been summoned. 
The funeral of the dead child will be held Wednesday morning at 9:30 from 
St. Boniface church, with interment at Evergreen.
