WILLIAM E. SEIBEL

W.E. Seibel, Merchant, Is Dead Today
FOUND DYING IN OFFICE OF STORE AT NOON
Worry Over Business Conditions Is Believed To Have Affected Mind; 
Survives Short Time
Worry over conditions in the clothing business in which he had been a 
prominent figure for twenty years or more is believed to have unbalanced 
the mind of William E. Seibel, head of the company which bore his name, 
and to have been responsible for his death shortly before noon today when 
his unconscious form with a bullet in the right temple was found by 
employes in the office of the store on Quay street. Mr. Seibel, who was 
rushed to the hospital, never regained consciousness and died at 1:30.
News of the untimely death of the well-known merchant and former hotel 
owner spread rapidly and proved a decided shock to business associates 
and acquaintances who had known him for the many years he was engaged in 
business here. He was about 63 years of age and had made his home in 
Manitowoc for about twenty-five years, coming here as manager of the Stumpf 
and Langhoff company of Milwaukee and later acquiring ownership of the
branch here at a time it was located in the Urbanek building. He operated 
clothing stores here continuously since that time.
Shot Not Heard
Employes of the store stated that they had heard no shot fired but received 
their first intimation shortly before 11:15 o'clock when they heard the 
sound of moans coming from the private office of Mr. Seibel on the balcony 
of the store. Police were notified and when Officer Aaron Peterson reached 
the scene he found the apparently lifeless body of Mr. Seibel stretched 
upon a sofa in the office with blood still flowing from the wound.
Coroner W.G. Kemper was called and although it was apparent that the wound 
would prove fatal, ordered Mr. Seibel sent to the hosptal.
Used '38 Calibre Revolver
The weapon used by Mr. Seibel was a .38 calibre five-shelled revolver and 
although the weapon was fully loaded only one shot had been fired from it. 
Indications that it had been purchased only recently were given by the 
presence of the price tag on it.
Prior to the discovery of the body, he remarked to one of his clerks as he 
handed him the store key that "if anything happens to me, lock up the store 
at once."
Was Pioneer in Business
Mr. Seibel had been in ill-health for sometime and was frequently under the 
care of physicians. For years his untiring efforts in the clothing business 
here made him widely known throughout his section and his store was one of 
the best known establishments in the county. He was widely known and his 
ability in judging merchandise became a byword among persons affiliated with 
the same type of business.
Coming here about thirty years ago he acted as manager for the Milwaukee 
concern for some time before acquiring an interest in the business and he 
subsequently conducted clothing establishments on North Eighth street and 
later on two corners at Eighth and Franklin streets and about two years 
ago moved into his present stand on Quay street. He was contemplating 
establishment of a second store on the north side when he died.
Operated Hotel
In addition to his activities in the clothing business, Mr. Seibel at one 
time owned the Williams Hotel here, a pioneer and widely-known state hotel 
which was disposed of about two years ago when the Kresge interests purchased 
the property. Since that time he devoted his entire time to his store. When 
not actively interested in the direction of his business affairs he was to be 
found at some lake in Northern Wisconsin and was an ardent devotee of all 
forms of game fishing.
Left Several Notes
Contents of several notes which he left with his papers in a strong box next 
to his desk were not made public, Coroner Kemper refusing to permit them to 
be opened until he secured orders for their release. A note found on the top 
of the boxes directing that his body be taken care of by the Wattawa & Cy 
Urbanek company.
Arrangements Incomplete
Arrangements for the funeral services of Mr. Seibel were not completed at an 
early hour this afternoon owing to the unexpectedness of the death. Arrival 
of relatives was being awaited before decision was made.
In addition to his widow, Mr. Seibel is survived by a daughter, Mill Wilma, 
who is a student at the University of Wisconsin. Two brothers, one state 
patrol agent, Joseph Seibel, and a sister also survive.

PROPERTY HERE IS SOLD UNDER COURT PERMIT
Quay Street Property is Deeded To Mrs. W.E. Seibel From Bankrupt Concern
An order from Referee Harold P. Coffin of the United States District court 
for the southern district of New York to permit the Irving Trust company, 
trustee for the bankrupt Schulte-United, Inc., to transfer property in 
Manitowoc was received and filed today by Register of Deeds Gust Eggert. 
The order was accompanied by a deed from the company transfering the property 
occupied by the Wisconsin Lunch and the building fomerly occupied on Quay 
street by the Seibel Clothing company to Mrs. Emily Seibel of this city.
Mortgage Is Released
The records show that on February 21, 1929, the now bankrupt concern purchased 
Lot 2 of Black 227 from Ann Brennan, the deed being subject to a mortgage of 
$40,625. The court order and accompanying documents received today release the 
mortgage on the property and deed it to Mrs. Seibel whose husband originally 
owned the property, acquired with other frontage by the Schulte company.
According to the court order, the Schulte-United, Inc., was adjudicated bankrupt 
on January 21, 1931 after a petition in involuntary bankruptcy had been filed 
in New York on January 14, 1931.

CLIFFORD SEILER

Contractor Drowns in Shoto River   
Clifford Seiler Goes Under After Boat Overturns While Fishing 
Clifford Seiler, 33, local excavating contractor, drowned in the Shoto river a 
mile and a half north of Two Rivers between 3:30 and 4 o’clock Sunday afternoon 
while trying to swim to shore after the boat from which he was fishing with two 
companions overturned.
The body was recovered at 6:30 p.m. with grappling hooks brought from Manitowoc 
by Sheriff Max Hiller. The Two Rivers coast guard assisted the sheriff, deputies 
and residents living in the vicinity of the drowning.
Boat Tips Over 
Seiler was in the boat with his brother-in-law, Frank Pilger, and Miles Panosh, 
Joe Panosh, son of Miles, was fishing from the bank of the river. The men were 
fishing for suckers and the flat-bottomed boat was equipped with a large dip net. 
Panosh was rowing the boat and Pilger was lifting the net. The men were dressed 
in heavy woolen garments and wore boots.
“I was standing up in the back of the boat lifting the net.” Said Pilger in 
telling the story of the drowning. “Seiler who was in the front of the boat, also 
stood up to see if there were any fish in the net. The boat tipped over. Panosh 
couldn’t swim at all and I knew Seiler wasn’t a very good swimmer. I hollered for 
Seiler and Panosh to hang on to the bottom of the boat and I would swim to shore 
and got help. But Seiler started swimming so I hung on to the boat.
Saw Him Sink
“When Seiler was about half way to shore I saw him sink. I could only see his cap. 
I hollered for him to try to get back to the boat and he seemed to be trying to 
get back to us. Then he went down again. I grabbed an oar and shoved it to-…
(cont. on page 9)  CLIFFORD SEILER DROWNS IN RIVER (Cont. from Page 1)…
ward him. He was going down again but the oar hit his chest and I could feel him 
take hold of it. I pulled him toward the boat but when he was about six feet away 
from the boat he sank again and he didn’t come up. Panosh and I lay on the boat 
and paddled until we could touch bottom.” 
Joe Panosh saw the boat overturn and Seiler’s futile efforts to reach shore. He 
ran to the farm house of George Pieschel and called the sheriff and the coast guard. 
Emil Peterick, who resides near the Pieschel farm, also called the sheriff.
Get Grappling Hooks 
Sheriff Hiller and Deputy Otto Lohse obtained grappling hooks from the police 
department and went to the scene of the drowning. Boatswain Deegan and Surfmen 
William Lucas and Harold Jacobsen of the Two Rivers coast guard arrived with a 
large boat. Soon four boats were engaged in a search for the body. Peterick and 
Lohse were in one boat, Pieschel and Joe Panosh in another, Ray Mandel, Robert 
Grenier and sheriff Hiller in another, and the coast guardsmen in their boat.
At about 6:30 p.m. Pieschel located the body in about 18 feet of water. The body 
was placed in the larger coast guard boat and brought to Shimek and Schwartz 
funeral home in this city.
Seiler, married and the father of four children, was an excavating contractor. 
The family resides at 1801 Menasha avenue. 
He was born July 23, 1902 in this city.
On Sept. 24, 1924, Mr. Seiler married Miss Eleanor Pilger. He is survived by his 
widow, two daughters, Shirley and Sally, two sons, Harold and Dale, his mother, 
Mrs. Emma Seiler, Manitowoc Rapids, one brother, Irving, Manitowoc, and one sister, 
Mrs. Leila Mortimere, Appleton.
The funeral will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the Shimek & Schawrtz 
funeral home. The Rev. R. B. Walden will officiate and burial will be in Evergreen 
cemetery. The body may be viewed at the funeral home from Tuesday noon until the

JOHN SEILER

JOHN SEILER KILLED, TRAIN HITS AUTO
SAD ENDING OF TRIP TO CONVEY LOVE
Local People on Way Home After Birthday Party
John Seiler residing on Rural Route 5 just outside the city limits 
was killed and four other Manitowoc residents seriously injured at 
Appleton, Friday night when the automobile in which they were 
driving, was struck by the C. & N.W. passenger train within the city 
limits of Appleton.
THE DEAD:
John Seiler, aged 70.
THE INJURED:
Eleanor Pilger, fractured skull, may not live.
Clifford Seiler, internal injuries.
Anton Panosh, serious cuts and bruises.
Frank Pilger, cut about the head and shoulders.
The crash occurred in the presence of a throng of people on the depot 
platform at Appleton, who were awaiting the train's arrival.
Went To Convey Greetings
The party went to Appleton from here yesterday afternoon to convey 
birthday greetings and gifts to Mrs. Lella Mortimer, a daughter of Mr. 
Seiler, who lives at 732 North Division Street, that city. After 
felicitations had been extended and a happy social hour had passed, 
the party left the home in their machine driving south on Superior 
Street Street (sic). A short distance from there, there is a crossing 
of the North Western tracke (sic) there being four or five sets of 
rails.
Panosh was driving the car and according to the story he told today, 
did not notice the oncoming train which at this point rounds a curve 
and cannot be seen until almost at the crossing. 
********
HAD PREMONITION THAT HE WOULDN'T RETURN
When the trip was proposed yesterday the aged Seiler willingly became 
a member of the party. When it became time to start, however, and he 
had not changed his clothes, he was importuned to do so but said, 
"What's the use of changing clothes, I'm not coming back anyway." 
Asked what he meant by that he said, "Well, I'm not coming back, that's 
all. I'm going to live among the Indians from now on."
********
The gates were up and the machine was partly on the track when the 
driver saw the headlights of the train, but too late. Coming into 
the station it was traveling at a comparatively low rate of speed 
but the engineer was unable to avert the crash and the train hit the 
auto squarely in the middle skidding it along the tracks for a distance
of 600 feet. Panosh tried to swing his machine to the left to avoid the 
train but there was a freight car in the way and by this time it was 
too late and the horror stricken crowd on the depot platform saw the 
death scene enacted with the occupants of the car unable to leap for 
their lives.
Seiler Was Still Alive
Bystanders rushed to the assistance of the party and found that although 
Seiler was still alive, he was unconscious and died before he could be 
taken to the hospital. Of the injured Miss Pilger is in the most serious 
condition and has probably suffered a fractured skull which may prove 
fatal. The others of the party miraculously escaped with cuts and bruises 
and were taken to St. Elizabeth's Hospital for treatment.
At the point where the accident occurred no flagman is on duty in the 
daytime, it is said, and Panosh when seen today declares that he felt 
perfectly safe in driving over the tracks when the gates were up. The 
train which crashed into the machne is known as the Copper Country Limited, 
northbound out of Chicago, arriving at 8:06 P.M. over the Northern Wisconsin 
division.
There was a large crowd of people at the depot who witnessed the accident, 
being for the most part delegates to the National United Commercial 
Travelers Convention just finishing a session at Appleton, the delegates 
being on the way home. Auto wreckage was strewn all along the track and 
the body of the car with its occupants was carried along on the cow 
catcher until the engineer could bring his engine to a stop. Two of the 
occupants of the car were able to climb out unassisted but the age man 
and Miss Pilger were carried to the depot from where they were taken to 
the hospital in the ambulance. Seiler died on the way.
The victim of the accident, John Seiler, was born in this county in 1854 
at Manitowoc Rapids. He was married in Manitowoc and his widow survives. 
There are three children, two boys, Clifford, who was on the trip with 
him, and Irving, with whom he made his home on the Plank road west of the 
city, and, one daughter at Appleton whom they were visiting and carrying 
a message of congratulation.
Miss Pilger and Clifford Seiler, two other members of the party, are 
sweethearts, and are to wed soon.

LOUIS C. SENGLAUB

Louis C. Senglaub, 66, a native of Sheboygan County, and 
former county clerk, city assessor and for years secretary 
of the county democratic committee of Manitowoc died suddenly 
at his home in Manitowoc Monday morning.  Mr. Senglaub was 
shoveling snow and the exertion necessitated by the big drifts, 
it is presumed, caused heart failure.  His daughter assisted 
him into the house but before physicians arrived he had passed 
away.
The Manitowoc News says:
“The death of Mr. Senglaub marks the second death of men 
prominent in democratic politics of the county within a week, 
assemblyman Carl Hansen’s death last Wednesday proving a shock 
to the leaders of the party.
“The late Louis C. Senglaub was for many years prominent in 
politics and was one of the leading democrats of this county, 
having held several town offices when he resided in Schleswig.  
He was later elected county clerk on the democratic ticket, 
which office he held for three consecutive terms.  He was also 
assessor for the city several years and also secretary of the 
democratic county committee.  
“Mr. Senglaub was born in Sheboygan County on June 2, 1851, and 
after spending his youth there, moved to the town of Schleswig, 
in this county, where he erected a store and called the place 
Louis Corners, which name it still bears. After being elected 
county clerk 27 years ago he moved to this city to make his home 
and has lived here ever since. 
“Besides his widow, the deceased is survived by two sons, Otto 
of this city, and Rudolph of Chicago, and three daughters, Agnes, 
Helen and Viola, all of this city. The funeral will be held 
Thursday afternoon.”

Breweries company, and prominent for more than 30 years in public and fraternal 
life of Manitowoc, died suddenly of a heart attack at the Holy Family hospital 
this noon.
Mr. Senglaub, suffering from a diabetic condition, was moved to the hospital 
Monday morning from his home, 7?2 Hamilton street. He rallied this morning

Mr. Senglaub was born in Sheboygan county in 1874, a son of Louis and Victoria 
Senglaub. The family moved to Louis Corners, this county, where the elder 
Senglaub conducted a general store and hotel, later moved to a farm near Kiel, 
and in 1889, came to Manitowoc.
Otto Senglaub attended the public schools of the county and city and became 
interested in the brewing business shortly before the turn of the century as 
an office employe of the Schreihart Brewing company. He advanced to the position 
of secretary.

When the Schreihart plant was consolidated with the Kunz-Bleser company he was 
associated with the new company and in later years became secretary and treasurer 
of the company.
He was an officer of the Manitowoc Products company, which took over the brewing 
business as well as operating an ice cream and dairy plant on Washington street. 
When the Kingsbury Breweries company was organized a few years ago to take over 
control and operation of brewery plants in this city and Sheboygan, Mr. Senglaub 
was elected secretary and assistant treasurer, which position he held until his 
death.

years to the advancement of part-time and vocational education in Manitowoc. When 
the need for a new school here became paramount he, as president of the board, 
was one of the most active in carrying forward plans for the new building.
He served on the building committee that supervised the erection of the school. 
Shortly after the completion of the school he retired from the board on account 
of the press of other business duties.

VICTOR SENGLAUB

Victor Senglaub, about whose illness with typhus we reported earlier, died
Wednesday of that disease. The deceased, a son of Louis C. Senglaub here was
born 31 years ago in Town Schleswig and moved to Manitowoc when his father took
office as County Clerk. He attended school here. For a long time he belonged to the
Militia Company. Ten years ago he moved to Sheboygan and spent many years as day
clerk in the Grand Hotel… He joined the Militia Company there and became a 1st
Lieutenant. There he met Miss Bohlmann and they were setting the wedding day
when he became ill with the terrible illness which took his life. Victor
Senglaub is survived by his sorrowing parents, 2 brothers and 3 sisters. The
funeral will be held Saturday afternoon in Sheboygan.
Der Nord Westen, 21 Mar. 1907
*********
DIED:
Victor H. Senglaub, son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis C. Senglaub of this city, died at the 
St. Nickolas hospital in Sheboygan at 6 o'clock Wednesday evening, March 13th, 
after a few weeks' illness with typhoid fever.
Victor H. Senglaub was born at Louis Corners, in the town of Schleswig, this county, 
in 1876. He attended the rural school at Louis Corners until he attained the age of 
thirteen, in 1889, when his father, Mr. Louis C. Senglaub, now city assessor, was 
elected to the office of county clerk of this county, and when the family removed to 
this city. Victor then attended the north side schools and, in due time, he graduated 
with honors from the north side high school.
On completing the high school course he accepted a position as clerk at the old 
Northwestern house in this city, which hostelry is now know as the Hotel Victoria. 
He held that position until 1897, when he went to Sheboygan and there secured 
employment as head clerk in the Grand Hotel, one of the leading hostelries of the 
Chair city, which position he held continuously for ten years; that is, up to the time 
of his final illness.
The decedent was a very active, industrious, intelligent young man. He had a host of 
friends in Sheboygan; and, although not a resident of this city for the last ten years, 
he had continued to number many of the young people of this city among his friends, 
he having made frequent visits here to relatives and former schoolmates and friends.
For years the decedent was a member of Company C. Wisconsin National guard. 
Several years ago he rose from the rank of a private to that of a commissioned officer. 
Later he was elected second lieutenant of Company C. the vote resulting in his election 
being unanimous. He acquitted himself with much credit at the examination, and, 
accordingly, was given the position to which he had been elevated. Last year, when 
there was a vacancy in the first lieutenancy, Victor Senglaub was elected first lieutenant, 
he receiving the unanimous vote of the members of the company. He again passed the 
examination, and secured his commission.
Victor H. Senglaub is survived by his parents, two brother, Otto of this city and Rudolph 
of Quarry, Ind.; and three sisters, the Misses Agnes, Helen and Leona, all of this city.
Victor Senglaub's untimely death is a sad blow to the family and to the young lady, a 
Miss Bohlmann of Sheboygan, to whom he was to have been married in the near future. 
It had been planned to celebrate the wedding in this city.
The funeral was held last Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock at Sheboygan. The funeral was 
in charge of Company C. Besides the bereaved relatives residing in this city, a number of 
friends from here were present at the obsequies.

ALLEN T. SEPNIESKI

SCHOOL BOY LOSES LIFE WHILE IN RIVER HERE 
A.SEPNIESKI FALLS TO DEATH WHILE AT PLAY 
Loses Balance While He and Playmates Play at River Bank; Efforts to Revive Fail 
Tragedy, grim and stark, stalked along the Manitowoc river for the second time 
in as many days to claim the life of Allen Sepnieski, nine-year-old son of Mr. 
and m
Mrs. Frank Sepnieski, Ninth and Chicago streets, the little boy losing his life 
shortly before 6 o’clock yesterday afternoon when he fell into the river at the 
foot of N. Sixth street. The removal of the boy’s body from the river marked the 
second removed in two days by police, the floating body of Felix Tadych, 29, 
being taken from the waters the previous day. 
Although the boy was in the water only about fifteen minutes with police officers 
recovering the body in short time, life was extinct when he was removed, according 
to City Physician, Dr. A. J. Shimek, who was at the scene.
Playing with Friends
Young Sepnieski, together with Leslie Brodkorb, 9, 305 N. Fifth street and Edward 
Aschenbrenner, 11, 508 Buffalo street, was at play along the banks of the river 
and was shielded from sight of workmen near the place by the huge stone and sand 
piles along the river bank. The three were throwing stones upon a board floating 
in the river near the dock, young Sepnieski kneeling along the dock when he lost 
his balance and fell into the river.
According to his companions, he came to the surface but once and then sank out of 
sight. While young Brodkorb ran to the workmen employed nearby, Aschenbrenner ran 
to a soft drink establishment at the corner of Sixth and Commercial streets to 
call for help but police had already been notified by persons at the Quality Fruit 
company across the river, when the boy was observed to have fallen into the river.
Police responded immediately after the call and although only a short time elapsed 
before the body was brought to the surface any attempts to restore breathing were 
fruitless as the youth was already dead.
Student at Sacred Heart 
Allen Sepnieski was a student in the third grade of the Sacred Heart school and was 
popular with his playmates as a youth of great good nature and of active nature.
In addition to his parents, the boy is survived by one brother, Francis, aged two, 
and a sister, Nora, aged eight.
Funeral services will be held from the Sacred Heart church on Monday morning at 9 
o’clock with Father Luby officiating.

MARGRET HANSON SEYMOUR

Margret H. Seymour, maiden name Margret Ann Hanson, born in Manitowoc, Wis., 
passed away Wednesday, April 25, 2012. She will be greatly missed by her family 
and friends of old and new.
Born in 1927, Margret was a 1949 graduate of UW-Madison. She was an active member 
of Kappa Alpha Theta. While attending college, she reluctantly paid a dollar to 
attend a fraternity party of which she met her future husband, the late John W. 
Seymour. The two were married a short seven years later in 1954 in Manitowoc. 
They raised five children, four boys and a baby girl in Hartford, Wis. and in 
Burlington Wis., where they resided for over 30 years.
After college, Margret worked for the phone company, state division as an instructor 
and business office supervisor until 1954. While in Burlington, Margret worked for 
the Human Resouce Center, which provided social services, support and education 
for young teens. She later went on to be the social worker at Burlington Memorial 
Hospital from 1978 to 1985 before retiring. Margret also helped her husband with 
bookwork for their engineering company.
Margret enjoyed many activities such as horseback riding, gardening and camping in 
her younger years. She was an avid reader, enjoyed bridge and dinner parties, and 
singing by the piano with her close friends. But above all she loved being a mom 
and had the sense of humor a mother of five could have. This was evident from the 
memorabilia she kept of all her children, from first drawings to newspaper clippings 
of accomplishments. And her wonderful ability to love and support, will never be 
forgotten.
(Survivors omitted for privacy.)
Please join us Saturday, May 19, 2012, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. in celebration of 
Margret's life at Saddlebrook Farm's Lake House located at 2601 Saddlebrook Drive,
