JIMMY YANG

River tragedy affects us all
Funerals will be held the next two Mondays-at Redeemer Lutheran Church in 
Manitowoc-for teenage brothers who drowned in the icy waters of the East Twin 
River last weekend.
Larry Yang, 12, was a sixth-grader at Jackson Elementary School in Manitowoc 
and Jimmy Yang, 13, an eighth-grader at Wilson Junior High School.
The boys fell through thin ice while attending what is often one of life's 
happiest occasions, a family reunion. This one turned tragic on Friday 
afternoon.
Two lives tragically were cut far too short.
The boys will be missed by their immediate families, by their school families 
and by all of us with the blood of humanity running through our veins.
We are, to borrow a word from Manitowoc Public School District Superintendent 
Mark Swanson, devastated.
Rescuers did all they could to save the boys, and were able to save the life 
of a third boy, who clung to a piece of ice with his head above water.
Unfortunately, hypothermia and the cold water took the lives of the brothers, 
who had become submerged beneath the ice.
Now, tears and funeral services in the next couple of weeks will replace a 
lifetime of possibilities for two boys described by their school principals as 
"light-hearted," "always smiling" and "outgoing."
It's sad that tragedies like this must serve to remind us of the danger thin ice 
poses in winter. It is quite telling that even as the rescue team was preparing 
to leave the scene of the tragedy, other teens and children were reported to be 
on the West Twin River-a companion waterway to the East Twin River-in bicycles, 
on foot and even on a snowmobile.
Police warned them off, and we hope those warnings stick, not only with those 
immediately involved, but with all of us.
It's just not worth the risk of going out on the ice unless you know for sure 
that conditions are safe.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Yang family, and our wishes for a safe 
winter season go out to all.

We are, to borrow a word from Manitowoc Public School District Superintendent 
Mark Swanson, devastated.
Rescuers did all they could to save the boys, and were able to save the life 
of a third boy, who clung to a piece of ice with his head above water.
Unfortunately, hypothermia and the cold water took the lives of the brothers, 
who had become submerged beneath the ice.
Now, tears and funeral services in the next couple of weeks will replace a 
lifetime of possibilities for two boys described by their school principals as 
"light-hearted," "always smiling" and "outgoing."
It's sad that tragedies like this must serve to remind us of the danger thin ice 
poses in winter. It is quite telling that even as the rescue team was preparing 
to leave the scene of the tragedy, other teens and children were reported to be 
on the West Twin River-a companion waterway to the East Twin River-in bicycles, 
on foot and even on a snowmobile.
Police warned them off, and we hope those warnings stick, not only with those 
immediately involved, but with all of us.
It's just not worth the risk of going out on the ice unless you know for sure 
that conditions are safe.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Yang family, and our wishes for a safe 
winter season go out to all.

Brothers in ice tragedy remembered at schools.
MANITOWOC-
A lone soccer ball sits on Larry Yang' desk in Casie Winter's sixth-grade classroom 
at Jackson Elementary School.
Larry's classmates signed the ball. His locker, outside the classroom door, is 
decorated with signs, flowers and paper cranes with messages of love and remembrance.
A few blocks away from the elementary school is Wilson Junior High School. Jimmy Yang's 
locker is decorated with signs and paper flowers.
Jimmy's friends left an open seat at their lunchroom table for the seventh grader.
Larry, 12, and Jimmy, 13, died from drowning and hypothermia Friday after they fell 
through the ice on the East Twin River in Two Rivers.
*********
Their 13 year old relatives, Kong Yang, a student at Washington Junior High School, 
survived after the ½-inch thick ice broke. The three Manitowoc boys were walking on 
the river during a family reunion.
The memorial service for Jimmy will be held Monday at Redeemer Lutheran Church, 1712 
Menasha Ave., with visitation at the funeral home, 928 S. 14th St., on Saturday and

*********
Each year, Jackson fifth-graders make a yearbook as a class project. The students 
share information about themselves, their family, their favorite items and activities 
and their hobbies.
Larry wrote that he loved football. His favorite food was mini corn dogs dipped in 
ketchup. He dreamed of being a professional break-dancer.
Larry's fifth-grade teacher was Shari Lipski. He included her in his yearbook 
information.
"My teacher, Mrs. Lipski, is so cool. I feel like I want to stay in the fifth grade 
with her," he wrote in the yearbook.
Lipski took Larry and another student to dinner in April as a reward for earning points 
for good behavior and work. Lipski said she will always remember Larry's appreciation 
for the evening.
"When I dropped him off at his home, he couldn't say thank you enough." Lipski said, 
"He had a smile from ear to ear."

WINFRED M. YINDRA

Winfred Yindra, 24, Drops Dead at Milwaukee 
LOCAL BOY AT MARQUETTE IS STRICKEN DOWN 
Suffers Heart Attack in a Milwaukee Store While on Way To a Show 
Stricken with a heart attack in a Milwaukee drugstore as he and a fraternity 
brother stopped there enroute to a show in downtown Milwaukee, Winfred Yindra, 
24, a fifth year honor student in the Medical college of Marquette university, 
died at 7 o’clock last night without regaining consciousness and before aid 
could be given him. 
News of the untimely death of young Yindra, a youth who was continuing an enviable 
scholastic record he established in the Manitowoc high school, was received by his 
parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Yindra, 855 North Twelfth street, this city, shortly 
after its occurrence. 
Here Over Week-End 
Death occurred only two days after Yindra returned to his studies at the Milwaukee 
university following a weekend visit at the home of his parents in this city. He 
visited with friends in the city during his stay and was apparently in the best of 
health. He had never suffered from a heart ailment and the shock of his sudden death 
was considerably the more severe because of the fact that he was apparently in such 
excellent health and spirit on the occasion of his visit to this city. 
Was 24 Years of Age 
Winfred Yindra was 24 years of age at the time of his death and was a life-long 
resident of the city of Manitowoc excepting during the time he was a Marquette 
university student. Born in Manitowoc on November 22, 1904, he attended the local 
schools and graduated with honors with the class of 1921. 
For two years after his graduation he was employed in this city and was associated 
with his father. Five years ago he entered Marquette university and in the medical 
college there continued the enviable scholastic record he set in the old Manitowoc 
high school. 
He was a member of Kappa Alta and the Medical Circle, honorary fraternities at 
Marquette and was also a member of Phi Beta Pi, a social fraternity of the institution. 
Locally he was a member of the Holy Name society and was for some years active in Boy 
Scout work, being assistant scoutmaster of Troop 7 here. 
In addition to his parents, the young man is survived by a brother, Francis, a student 
in the law college at Marquette, and one sister, Anna Yindra, at home. 
Burial on Friday 
Funeral services will be held from the Sacred Heart church on Friday morning with 
interment taking place at Evergreen, Rev. Father Luby officiating at the services. 
The young man’s father left for Milwaukee today and will return with the body on the 
limited train tonight. The body is to be taken to the Pfeffer chapel here but will be 
removed to the home later. 
Was Popular Here 
In spite of a studious nature, Mr. Yindra found ample time for outside activities and 
was popular among a large circle of friends in this city as well as in Milwaukee.

NORA YOHANEK

With her family of seven children under quarantine for scarlet fever at their 
home on York Street, Mrs. Joseph(sic) Johanek succumbed at the hospital yesterday. 
Mrs. Johanek, 33 years of age and a resident here for four years with her husband 
and children, had undertaken the care of the family of seven when the home was 
quarantined and one of the children was seriously ill and the task proved too great 
for the weakened condition of the woman, who was later removed to the hospital.
The oldest of the seven children is but 12 years, the others ranging in ages to a 
babe of a few days, whose birth hastened the demise of its mother. The father is 
employed by the city as a street worker. Charitable organizations of the city are 
caring for the family. A nurse has been provided at the home and everything possible 
is being done for the quarantined children.

had been employed as a clerk at the Charles Salak company store and was at work 
Monday, having insisted upon returning to her duties after the illness of few 
days. After working but one day Miss Zabel was compelled to again remain at home 
and the relapse which she suffered caused her death.
