FRANCES TADYCH      (d. 1930)

DIES AS CAR IS FORCED OFF ROAD
YOUNG GIRL IS BADLY CRUSHED, DRIVER UNHURT
Frances Tadych, 23, Lingers For Several Hours After Mishap on Highway 141
Crushed and mangled to an extent seldom witnessed by physicians treating 
automobile accident victims, Miss Frances Tadych, 23 year old local girl, 
died at the Holy Family hospital at 10 o'clock today as a result of the 
injuries she sustained when the car in which she was riding was forced off 
the road on Highway 141, a short distance south of the juncture of Highways 
31 and 141, at 12:30 o'clock this morning.
Miss Tadych's companion and driver of the automobile, Isadore Duveneck, 20, 
was practically unhurt with the extent of his injuries being limited to minor 
scratches on the face. He spent the night at the hospital but was able to 
return to his home this morning.
(snip)
(2 paragraphs describing the accident not transcribed)
Aid is Refused
Efforts to halt motorists proceeding in both directions failed several times as 
Duveneck sought to stop them when it was apparent that Miss Tadych was seriously 
injured. Finally after several cars had passed, one was halted but the occupants 
noticing the condition of Miss Tadych, refused to take her to the hospital because 
they said, the upholstery in the car would become marked from the bleeding wounds. 
Later Leo and Sylvester Hablewitz, neighbors of the Duveneck boy, appeared at the 
scene and drove the two injured persons to the city and hospital.
(snip)
Miss Tadych was conscious only for a brief period after the accident, recognizing 
members of the immediate family when she was first brought to the hospital room but 
later lapsing into unconsciousness from which se (sic) never revived until her death. 
An examination revealed that an arm was broken, there was a compound fracture of the 
left leg, the pelvis was split open and she was bery badly cut by glass.
No Inquest
Coroner W.G. Kemper declared at noon today that he doubted if an inquest would be 
held as the death was the result of an apparent accident. Names of drivers at the 
scene immediately before the accident were not learned and it was doubted if an 
inquest would result in authorities securing any additional information, he said.
Miss Tadych is survived by her father, Henry Tadych of 1215 North Water street and 
seven brothers, Carl and Alex of Milwaukee; John, Robert, Henry, Frank and Edward of 
Manitowoc. She was a graduate of the Manitowoc high school with the class of '28 and 
has lived in Manitowoc since her birth on August 20, 1910.
It is reported that Miss Tadych was soon to have been a bride, but no confirmation 
of the report was obtained.
Funeral services will be held from the Sacred Heart church Wednesday morning at 9 
o'clock with interment taking place at Evergreen cemetery.

action to call one.
Miss Tadych, 23, is a daughter of John Tadych, 1215 North Water street, an error having 
been made yesterday in stating that she was a daughter of Henry Tadych. In addition to 
her father and seven brothers metioned as survivors yesterday, Miss Tadych is also

Gets Call For Long Sought Job As Death Comes
Less than an hour separated Miss Frances Tadych, 23 year old local girl who 
died yesterday of injuries received in an automobile crash, from the securing 
of a position for which she had vainly sought for almost a year.
The young graduate of the Lincoln high school, it was learned from city officials 
at the city hall today, had put in her application for work at the city hall 
employment office several days previously. At almost the moment of death was 
occurring at the hospital, a call was made for a position which could be filled 
by her and when efforts were made to get in touch with her that she could make 
immediate application for the position, it was learned that death had already 
interfered.

JOHN TADYCH    (d. 1912)

17 YEAR OLD BOY KILLED BY OWN GUN IN HANDS OF FRIEND 
JOHN TADYCH SHOT THROUGH HEART WHEN GUN HELD BY IRWIN LEMPKE, 14, IS DISCHARGED 
BY ACCIDENT SUNDAY 
INQUEST ORDERED BY DISTRICT ATTORNEY HEALY
Shot through the heart by a bullet from his own gun when the weapon was 
accidentally discharged in the hands of another, John Tadych, a 12 year old 
North Side boy was instantly killed late Sunday afternoon. Tadych was shot 
through the back, the bullet penetrating the body and striking the heart.
Irwin Lemke, aged 14, residing at 1314 S. Tenth street, a companion of Tadych 
on a hunting trip Sunday, was the boy in whose hands the gun exploded and the 
youth is seriously ill from the shock of the tragedy, which happened on the 
Lake Shore road, south of the city, while the two boys, with a party of seven 
were returning from a hunting trip. Report of the accident reached the sheriff's 
office in a telephone message and Sheriff Pellet, with Coroner Falge visited the 
scene and took charge of the body which was brought to the city. 
Cigarette Cause of Tragedy?
A cigarette is said to have been responsible for the tragedy which ended the life 
of Young Tadych. According to statements made ot the authorities by members of 
the party Lempke was carrying Tadych's gun and had stopped in the roadway to light 
a cigarette holding the gun on his arm as he struck a match and the movement of the 
body caused the discharge of the weapon. Tadych, who was some feet ahead, received 
the bullet in the back and fell to the ground, mortally wounded, death resulting 
almost instantly. Examination of the wound showed that the bullet penetrated the 
heart of the dead boy. 
Inquest is Ordered--
District Atty. Healy, following investigation of the affair, ordered an inquest 
which has been called for Tuesday morning. From statements made by eye witnesses 
of the tragedy there appears to be no question but that the gun was discharged by 
accident but an inquest was deemed advisable in the case. It is said that Lemke 
and Tadych had not been together during the day but that a party of seven met on 
the return home, others in the party being Paul, John and Joseph Reiderer, Charles 
Kaufman and Thomas Dirkman, who will be summoned as witnesses at the inquest. The 
accident happened about two miles south of the city.
Lempke Told Gun Was Loaded-
It is said that there were but two guns in the party of seven boys. Lempke is 
reported to have asked Tadych to permit him to carry the gun owend by the dead 
boy and the weapon was turned over by Tadych with a warning to Lempke to be 
careful as it was loaded. The boys were all close together until Lempke is said 
to have stopped to light a cigarette or wipe his face, the latter statement being 
made by some of the witnesses, when Tadych and the others preceded Lempke some 
distance, when the gun exploded. 
Following the accident the boys hastened to neighboring farm houses for assistance 
and word was sent to the city of the tragedy. Sheriff Pellet was notified and with 
the coroner visited the scene to investigate the boys of the party returning to the 
city with the officers. 
Tadych's body was taken to the Frazier Bros. Morgue and will be viewed by the 
coroner's jury before burial. The wound which caused death is in the back, the 
left of the vertebrae and a hole nearly a half inch in diameter was torn in the 
back.
Tadych is a son of Joseph Tadych, residing at Ninth and Buffalo street and had been 
employed in the city when not attending school. He is survived by his parents, 
several sisters and brothers. The body was removed to the home late this afternoon 
and the funeral will be held from there.
Irwin Lempke, the lad in whose hands the gun exploded, is a son of Mr. and Mrs. 
Herman Lempke, S. Tenth street and boy and parents are prostrated by the tragedy, 
in which he so unfortunately participated. 
The inquest in the case will be held tomorrow morning at 9 and it is believed will 
exonerate Lempke from blame in the matter by returning a verdict of accidental 
death. The accident is a terrible one and to be deeply deplored.

ROBERT TAYLOR    (d. 1879)

On Thursday night last, a man named Luebke saw the body of a man floating in the 
lake near the creek about half ways between this city and Two Rivers. He went for 
assistance and on his return, the body was washed ashore. It was brought to this 
city that night and an inquest held. The man had nothing in his pockets but a 
large jackknife. He was about 38 years old, good looking and muscular. His hands 
and arms were plentifully tattooed, each hand having an anchor on the back, one 
arm having the initials R.M. ad R.T. and a mermaid. There were many surmises as 
to who the drowned man was and as how he was lost, but not till Saturday evening 
was curiosity gratified.
The drowned man was a sailor on the schooner Glad Tidings, which was loaded with 
cedar ties at Ahnapee. When off Two Rivers Point the heavy sea washed off a portion 
of her deck load, and with it the man whose body was found. His mates heard his 
cries for help but were unable to render any, and he soon yielded to his fate. His 
name was Robert Taylor, an Irishman, and aged 38 years. He leaves two daughters at 
Liverpool but his wife is dead. He has no relatives in this country.
The body was placed in a neat coffin by the city authorities and kept until Monday, 
when it was interred in Evergreen Cemetery.

WILHELM TECH    (d. 1902)

Last Sun. Wilhelm Tech, Sr., who lives at 1027 South 14th St., 
went to Two Rivers to visit the street carnival. He caught the 
last streetcar back to Manitowoc and got off at 13th St. However, 
he never reached home and remained missing despite all efforts to
find him. It was feared he might have become confused upon leaving 
the streetcar, went in the wrong direction and fell into the river. 
This possibility was dismissed as unlikely because he was a long 
time resident and knew the streets. However, because he remained 
missing, a search of the river was begun yesterday and his body was 
soon found. Wilhelm Tech was 51 and a tanner by trade. He has lived 
alone ever since his wife died 3 yrs. ago.

KNIFE THRUST IS NEAR TO HEART
Wm Tech, a Printer, is Victim When He Plays Peace Maker
Playing the role of peace maker in an effort to quell a disturbance at the 
Northwestern House, Fourteenth Street, Saturday night, William Tech, a boarder 
in the house and a printer employed by the Post, was the victim of a vicious 
knife thrust and narrowly escaped fatal injury when the knife penetrated the 
body to the rib, just below the heart. A wound, six inches long was inflicted 
and had the knife entered the body one-half inch higher up it must have 
encountered the heart and killed Tech. William Hackley, an iron molder, said 
to be from Harvey, Ill., wielded the knife and in a second attack, is said to 
have attempted to cut August Gehbe, proprietor of the hotel. Gehbe had his 
clothing cut by the knife but escaped injury. Tech will recover and it is said 
will secure a warrant for Hackney's arrest.

CHRIST H. TEGEN

C.H. TEGEN, ARCHITECT, AND BUILDER OF COUNTY'S NEW COURT HOUSE 
DIES TODAY IN HOSPITAL
Death of Mr. Tegen Occurs Just Twelve Weeks to Day, from that of His Wife. 
Is Last of Men Identified with Building of Court House a Few Years Ago
Christian H. Tegen, well known architect and builder of the new Manitowoc 
county court house, passed away at the Holy Family Hospital at 5 o'clock 
this morning, Mr. Tegen's death occurring just 12 weeks to a day after 
that of his wife who passed away on December 23. News of the death of Mr. 
Tegen was not unexpected as for some time past his condition had been such 
as to afford no hope of recovery. He was removed to the hospital ten days 
ago from the home of his daughter, Mrs. J.J. Healy, where he had been cared 
for following the death of Mrs. Tegen. His condition had grown steadily 
worse and early this morning the end came. 
Mr. Tegen was 63 years of age and  had been a resident of this city for 
over twenty years. He was born in Hamburg, Germany, and came to Wisconsin 
thirty five years ago, residing at Milwaukee before locating in this city. 
For years, Mr. Tegen was engaged in business as an architect and super-
intended the erection of many business buildings and homes in the city, 
the new court house and the addition to the present Teitgen block being 
among the important contracts which he directed. Owing to failing health 
Mr. Tegen retired about a year ago and since that time had been an invalid. 
Three months ago Mrs. Tegen became ill and died shortly after being taken 
to the hospital, her life being sacrificed to care of her husband during 
his illness. Mr. Tegen is survived by three children, Mrs. J.J. Healy and 
Miss Paula Tegen, of this city and one son, Robert Tegen, of Portland, Ore. 
Decedent was a member of the Elks lodge and the funeral Monday from the 
Healy home on Marshall street will be under the auspices of the local 
lodge of Elks. Few men of the city were better known than Mr. Tegen and 
he enjoyed popularity among a large circle of friends to whom he was 
familiarly known as "Chris." The death of Mr. Tegen removes the last of 
those identified with building of the new courthouse ten years ago, every 
member of the building committee having passed away.

Mr. and Mrs. William Tegen, Mrs. C. Plambeck and Carl Lange of Milwaukee

JOHAN TEGGE

Last Saturday morning the telegraph brought news of the death of John Tegge, 
until a week previous a resident of this city, at Howard Junction, Ill., he 
having died from the effects of injuries sustained by being run over by a train 
of cars. Tegge, a young man nearly 25 years of age, had left this city on Tuesday 
of last week to find employment, and was walking toward Rockford, on the railroad 
track, when the accident happened. It seems he heard the train coming, but 
endeavored to cross the bridge some 16 feet long ahead of the train, but slipping, 
fell lengthwise of the track and between the rails, and some part of the engine 
struck him on the head, fracturing the skull. He was not mangled, and when picked 
up it was thought that no fatal injuries had been sustained. This occurred at 7 in 
the evening and he lived until midnight. His remains reached the city by express 
on Monday morning and were buried in the afternoon. The unfortunate young man was 
a son of William Tegge, well known here as a respectable, hard-working citizen, 
and his sudden death is a sad blow to his relatives and friends.

John Tager (sic), a young man of this city, left his home one week ago Tuesday, 
to visit friends in the southern part of the state. While out walking in company 
with a friend on the rail road track near Harvard, they observed a train 
approaching but thought they had sufficient time to cross a bridge some fifteen 
feet in length, which lay in the direction they were going, before the train would 
overtake them. In crossing, Tager tripped and fell on the bridge between the rails 
in such a position that the wheels of the cars could do him no injury. He was 
struck on the head and had his skull fractured. He lived but five hours after the 
accident occurred. His body was brought home on Monday.

WILHELMINE TEGGE

SUICIDE OF A GIRL-On Sunday evening last, about the hour of nine o'clock, a young 
girl named Wilhilmina Tage (sic), aged nearly sixteen years, jumped into the 
Manitowoc river about a quarter of a mile above Jones' Mill, and willfully drowned 
herself, under circumstances most appaling (sic) and lamentable.
Notice being given to Justice Sibree of the occurrence, he summoned a jury to make 
an inquest concerning the death of the deceased.  The Justice and Jury, consisting 
of P.J. Blesch, Joseph W. Thomes, Michael Mahoney, Charles Korten, Jere. Crowley, 
and John Robinson, immediately repaired to the house of the father of the deceased, 
where the following facts were developed on the inquest. Late in the afternoon of 
the day above mentioned three half grown young men-one named Bates, another Wegfarth 
and the third called Bill (the last works in the ship-yard,) went to the vicinity of 
the deceased's home and enticed her and another girl to go into the small pines with 
them. The five went off together, but were followed at a short distance by two lads 
about twelve years of age each, and each brother to the girls. The lads kept on the 
track of the parties for some time, when one of the three above named came to them and 
offered them a trifle of money to go back. The little boys took the bribe and returned, 
and about the same time the girl whose name is not mentioned above, returned to the 
home of deceased-the latter refusing to go with her. It was now nearly dark, and the 
parents anxious to preserve their child from further corruption and sin, went, together 
with the two lads and girl spoken of, in search of their wayward first-born. They 
searched for some time without success, but after a time a dog that went with the 
father dislodged the party from a pine thicket not far from the river. The father 
took after the young scoundrels who thus before his eyes he found debauching his 
daughter-they and the girl ran in opposite directions. The mother encountered the 
girl near the road, where she took off her bonnet and threw it on the ground, and 
went straightway toward the river. Her mother called her to come back, but on she 
went. The two lads and the other girl tried to catch but she kept in advance of them 
all and reaching the river bank she went down the steep declivity in haste till she 
reached the water's edge, and there she stopped: deliberately took off her hoop-skirt; 
took the net off her head, and the comb out of her hair, and threw them on the ground. 
By this time the boys had gone down the bank, and had got within ten feet of her, but 
she forbade them coming near her at their peril. And just then, when the unhappy mother 
had reached the bank of the stream, with her eyes full upon her erring daughter, this 
rash, thoughtless, heedless, unfortunate girl, with curses on her lips, and anger in 
her heart-with the eye of God and the light of the pale moon upon her, took one fearful, 
fatal leap into the deep engulfing stream, and with a loud splash beneath the surface 
of the waters. The water closed over her, and nothing but the circle on the face of the 
stream indicated the place of the suicide. The father of the unfortunate girl arrived 
too late to be of any assistance. The body was not recovered till the next day about 
10 o'clock in the forenoon, near the place where she jumped in. An examination by Dr. 
Balcom disclosed the fact that on taking the fearful leap she clenched her teeth and 
took in little or no water.
The jury in accordance with the above facts, brought in a verdict of willfull suicide 
by drowning. The verdict of the jury is according to the facts in the case, but is there 
no lesson to be taught those three young scamps who preliminarily brought about the 
circumstances that terminated so fearfully to the poor, unfortunate suicide. We direct 
the public eye toward them, and should they be caught at such work again we hope some 
one will give them their deserts.

AUGUST T. TEITGEN    (d. 1884)

August Teitgen of Newton died on Monday morning of this week.
His last sickness was of brief duration, although for years past his health
has been rather poor.
Mr Teigten was born in Posen, Germany, in the year 1823. He was a scion of 
a noble family and his wife also belonged to the nobility. Shortly after their 
marriage they came to this country and settled in Newton, having purchased 
quite a large tract of land. Mr. Teitgen also kept a hotel and saloon and was 
quite well known throughout the county.
By good management he acquired considerable property. His hotel was noted for 
its excellence and he was a very popular landlord. He raised quite a large 
family and in such a manner that none took an inferior position in life. The 
old gentleman was always genial and always true to his friends.
On public questions he was always on the side which he thought had the right 
and spoke his opinions without reserve or fear.
His funeral takes place today at 3 o'clock p.m.

Death of 61-year old August Teitgen of Town Newton on Mon. morning. The
deceased is one of the oldest settlers in our county and resided about seven miles

farm and a hotel near by. He leaves a wife and eight children of which the youngest
is a 17 year old girl. Burial will take place today at 2pm at the Cemetery in

having resided here nearly 35 years.

A large number of friends from the city attended the funeral of August Teitgen,

It seems somewhat remarkable that the dispatches to the Chicago and Milwaukee 
papers concerning Mr. Teitgen's death should mention almost nothing but his 
extraordinary size.  
Are integrity, uprightness, honest and scrupulous fair dealing, a conscience 
sensitive to all treachery and wrong so common as to deserve no recognition?  
When a man lives to the age of August Teitgen and has the universal respect of 
those with whom he has associated it is fair to assume that whatever his physique 
may have been, he had moral qualities worthy of emulation.

DEATH OF MRS. TEITGEN SHOCK TO COMMUNITY 
Gertrude Biller Teitgen, wife of City Attorney Clarence E. Teitgen, died at

Wednesday evening she suffered a sudden severe attack and yesterday noon was 
removed to the hospital when her condition became critical. The operation 
followed but the patient failed to survive and passed away at 4:25, news of her

her illness.

1914, and lived there until four years ago when they came to this city to take

and a personal loss to friends. It was not known that her condition was at all 
serious and even intimate friends were not aware that her life was in danger. 
During her residence here, Mrs. Teitgen has won a large circle of friends. 
Possessed of a charming personality and beauty of character she won and kept 
friends and her death will be keenly felt in circles in which she moved.

Gone is the face we loved so dear
Gone is the voice we loved to hear
God saw you getting so tired,
He put his arms around you,
Whispering Dorothy come with Me.
With tearful eyes we say goodbye,
We could not make you stay.
God broke hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
We have so many reasons to thank you
And so many reasons to love you.
We will always be thinking of you
And you will always be in our memories.
You were not only our mother,
You were our friend.
We will miss you Mom.

What Mom Took
Most often when we think of Mom
We think of what she's given
The softness of a loving touch.
A gentle guide for living;
A nightly tip-toe in a room, 
An understanding look.
But sometimes when we think of Mom
We think of what she took
She took a child and taught it how
To live this life with pride
She took those kindergarten tears,
And kept them all inside
She took the hands that longed to hold
Her child and not let go
Used them to push her child along,
The way, to thrive and grow
Took time to do some other things 
Like sew, clean and cook,
And never thought to ask for thanks
For all the things she took.
Thanks Mom.
