Walter F. Gerlach, Jr., 22, also of Wauwatosa, who were killed…
Husband Not Told 
Mrs. Zahn, who sustained a fractured neck and severe internal injuries regained 
consciousness only a few moments before her death. She asked the nurse what had 
happened, murmured a short prayer and then lapsed into unconsciousness again.
Her husband, who is still in critical condition at the Two Rivers hospital with 
a concussion and fractures of both legs, has not been told of the death of his 
wife.
Funeral services for Mrs. Zahn will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Immanel

Hoeppner died seven years ago and Mr. Hoeppner two years after. Mrs. Zahn then 
took over the household to care for her four younger brothers.
Married Two Years 
In 1945 she was married to Edward Zahn, who has been employed as a mechanic in 
the Ames garage, following his return from service in the South Pacific in the

school opened this month. 
Funeral services for both will be held at Wauwatosa. 
Inquest Postponed 
Meanwhile, Coroner Theodore Teitgen said this morning that he had taken testimony 
Wednesday afternoon at the courthouse from one witness to the fatal crash. However, 
the coroner pointed out he plans no formal inquest until such time as Edward Zahn, 
only survivor of the accident, recovers sufficiently to give his version. 
In case of the latter’s death the inquest will be held immediately thereafter, the 
coroner added.

Attempt To Hitch Train Ride Ends in Tragedy For Boy, 10 
Body of Gerald Zahn Severed By Wheels 
An attempt to “hitch” a ride on a Soo line freight train, moving over the Rapids 
hump at about 15 miles-an-hour, ended in a tragic death under the wheels for 
Gerald Zahn, 10-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Zahn of J-6-R, Custerdale, 
shortly before 2:30 Tuesday afternoon.
Parts of the mangled body of the boy, who had been on his way home from swimming 
in the river near Manitowoc Rapids, were strewn along the rails a few feet south 
of the poin wher the extreme western end of Meadow lane crosses the Soo tracks.
It was here, according to his companions, that young Zahn, a fifth grade student 
at the Adams school, made his unsuccessful attempt to grab onto the ladder on the 
side of one of the moving freight cars and fell under the wheels which cut his 
body in two at the waist and severed his arms and legs.

JOSEPH ZAHORIK    (d. 1952)

CATO—Joseph Zahorik Sr., 69?, former Manitowoc County Register of Deeds, and 
father of the present Register, Joseph M. Zahorik, died Friday morning at his 
farm home north of here. 
Mr. Zahorik, around whom much of the early history of the village of Taus and 
the town of Franklin could be written, has been in failing health for several 
weeks.
Funeral services are to be held at 9 a.m. Monday at the Saur Funeral Home in 
Kellnersville and at 9:30 a.m. at St. Michael Catholic Church in Whitelaw, 
with the Rev. John Husslein officiating. Burial will be in Evergreen Cemetery, 
Manitowoc.
A son of the late John and Mary Peir Zahorik, the deceased was born in 1862 on 
his parents’ farm in the town of Franklin, just north of what is now the village 
of Taus. His education was received in a rural school of the town, the old North 
side High at Manitowoc and at Oshkosh Normal. After teaching at District No. 4 
School in Franklin for three years, he married the former Anna Boehm, also of 
Franklin, in 1885. Of the 11 children born to the couple, eight are surviving. 
Mrs. Zahorik died in 1931 at the farm home.
Prominent Citizen 
In 1888 Mr. Zahorik played a leading role in developing the village of Taus, 
erecting a general store and tavern on the northwest corner of the main inter-
section at a spot now occupied by a dance hall.
Six years later, in 1894, he purchased a parcel of land across the highway from 
his original place of business on which he built a larger store and tavern. This 
second building, which is still being used for the same purpose today, was of 
unusual and sturdy construction, being built of two by fours spiked one on top 
of the other.
Mr. Zahorik continued in business at Taus until 1912 when he sold out and purchased 
the farm north of Cato. In 1947 he sold the Cato farm to his son, Harry, who is 
still operating it.
During his years in business at Taus the elder Mr. Zahorik was looked upon by 
Franklin citizens as the leading figure in most phases of that community’s pioneer 
life. His numerous civic undertakings included town clerk for 25 years and justice 
of the peace for 27 years. 
In those early days the justice of the peace acted as the judge in minor cases and 
lawsuits tried before him. That was prior to establishment of the present Municipal 
Court in Manitowoc.
Originally the present village of Taus was called Zahorik’s Corner after the deceased 
and his family. The name Taus was given the small community when it was provided with 
a postoffice. Later the postal deliveries were made through a rural route out of the 
Cain postoffice. 
Elected Register
It was after he had moved to the Cato farm that Mr. Zahorik was named Register of Deeds, 
1915-16 and 1919-20, being elected on the Democratic Party ticket, of which he was a 
lifelong member.
In 1927 Mr. Zahorik was appointed secretary-treasurer of the Manitowoc County National 
Farm Loan Association, a position he led through 1940 when the Manitowoc, Brown, 
Kewaunee and Door County associations were consolidated. 
The surviving children, in addition to Register of Deeds Joseph M. Zahorik, are four 
other sons, Harry and Edward of Cato and Daniel and Arthur of Milwaukee; three daughters, 
Mrs. Michael Lensmeyer of Reedsville. Miss Catherine, a nurse at the Milwaukee County 
Hospital, and Miss Lauretta of Highland Park, Ill.; nine grandchildren and two great-
grandchildren.
Friends may call at the Saur Funeral Home in Kellnersville from 7 p.m. Saturday. The 
rosary will be recited at 8 p.m. Sunday.

Justice 25 Years, Not One Trial
This is the Record of Joseph Zahorik of the Town of Franklin
A Justice of the Peace for twenty-five years, with 5 to 52 cases in his court 
every year and not one trial in all the number, is the record claimed by Joseph 
Zahorik of Franklin, who celebrated his 25th anniversary as Town Clerk Monday. 
Mr. Zahorik's proud claim is that in every case brought before him he succeeded 
in arranging an amicable settlement and as a result he enjoys a wide popularity. 
Several hundred people attended the celebration Monday night and the affair was 
one of the biggest social events in the history of the county. Attorney E.S. 
Schmitz of this city delivered a brief address congratulating Mr. Zahorik and 
expressing the well wishes of his friends. Mr. Zahorik was a royal host, his 
guests being provided with every attention and comfort with everything free.

Three Manitowoc Servicemen Are Reported War Casualities
War department telegrams from Washington the past 24 hours brought news of the 
death of two young Manitowoc sericemen, prominent in their school days on 
athletic teams of Lincoln high school, and confirmation of the death of the 
husband of a Manitowoc woman.
The dead:
S/Sgt. Joseph William (Zeke) Zahorik, 21-year-old son of Register of deeds and 
Mrs. Joseph C. Zahorik, 1011 St. Clair street.
Pfc. Paul Adams, 21-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Adams, 955 N. Sixth Street.
Pvt. Horace A Stoeppelman, husband of the former Jean Luecke, 1609A S. Tenth street.
Sgt. Zahorik, who was a replacement division of Gen. Hodges' First army, was 
killed in action in Germany on Mar. 4. Little is known about his participation 
in combat, for "Zeke" as he was familiarly known to his friends, wrote nothing 
of what he was doing.

Both Adams and Zahorik entered Lincoln high school after attending Woodrow Wilson 
junior high. Zahorik was on the school's basketball and football squads for three 
seasons, while Adams played with the football eleven for three years.
Was Drill Instructor
Zahorik was inducted into the service July 13, 1943, shortly after his graduation 
from high school. He was sent to Camp Wheeler, Ga., where for 14 months he served 
as a drill instructor for recruits going through their basic training. He came 
home last August, and in September embarked for overseas, landing in England. 
Always in the infantry, he earned his staff sergeant's stripes in January of this 
year. Zahorik was born in this city on April 7, 1923. He attended the Sacred Heart 
parochial, school and was an outstanding athlete there. While attending Lincoln he 
with several other boys organized an orchestra and played for school dances. Later 
he was a drummer with Duke Janda's orchestra. The summer before his graduation, and 
a few weeks prior to his induction into service, he was employed at the Manitowoc 
shipbuilding company.
Besides the parents, one sister (Private), and his paternal grandfather, Joseph 
Zahorik of Cato survive. He was engaged to wed Miss Dorothea Heise of this city.
At 9 o'clock Monday morning a memorial requiem mass will be offered by the Rev. 
L.M. Schorn at Sacred Heart church.

ADOLPH ZANDER  (d. 1915)

MEETS DEATH ON SPOT WHERE AS BOY HE PLAYED 
ADOLPH ZANDER INSTANTLY KILLED AT BOILER WORKS PLANT TODAY WHEN 
STRUCK BY ARM OF BIG CRANE NO ONE WITNESSED ACCIDENT. WAS 53
Adolph Zander, employed at the shops of the Manitowoc Boiler Works 
met death this morning on the spot which years ago was the site of 
his father’s mill and where as a lad he had played, Mr. Zander being 
killed instantly by a blow from the heavy arm of the crane operated 
at the shops. The man was dead when fellow workmen reached his side, 
his body having been crushed by the blow. No one witnessed the 
accident, the engineer in charge of the crane investigating when he 
felt the jar which resulted when the arm hit Zander’s body. Physicians 
were hurriedly summoned but Zander was pronounced dead. 
Mr. Zander, who was employed as a pattern maker and carpenter at the 
Boiler Works and had been in employ of the company for a number of 
years, was at work nailing scaffolding on the crane, his body laying 
across the runway of the structure while he was attempting to nail 
supports under the runway. No one knew that the man was on the runway 
and it is said that Zander had no business on the runway and that he 
should have raised a ladder under the structure in performing the work 
he was doing, which would have obviated any chances of accident. 
Employees of the plant say that Zander failed to obey the “safety first” 
rules of the company. Mr. Zander’s body was terribly crushed by the 
heavy steel arm, one side of the body being torn and lacerated. Death, 
according to physician, resulted instantly. A statement given out by 
the Boiler Works Co. today relative to the accident was as follows: 
“Mr. A. Zander, pattern maker and millwright at the Manitowoc Boiler 
Works Company met with an accident about ten o’clock this morning which 
resulted in death. Mr. Zander was in the act of building a scaffolding 
underneath the runway and was nailing a two by four post on runway. 
Instead of using a ladder or notifying the crane man he leaned over the 
crane track of runway. No doubt he thought he could drive his four or 
five nails and get away in safety. The crane operator not knowing Mr. 
Zander was there started the crane and it struck him.” 
Mr. Zander was a native of Two Rivers and was 53 years of age. He had 
resided here most of his life. A widow and four children survive, Mrs. 
Henry Schweda, Miss Asta, Adolph and Louis Zander, all of this city. 
An aged father, one brother Edward Zander and a sister, Mrs. Frank 
Kautsky also survive. The shock of Mr. Zander’s death may hasten the 
demise of his father who makes his home with his daughter, Mrs. Kautsky 
and who is reported to be in very feeble health and near death. 
The body of Mr. Zander was taken to the C. & W. Frazier undertaking 
rooms and later removed to the home at 820 York street. Funeral 
arrangements have not been made but the burial will probably be 
Thursday afternoon.

DANE CO. COURT UPHOLDS 15 PER CENT PENALTY AWARD ON LOCAL CONCERN, 
ZANDER DEATH
Court Rules that Contributary Negligence Does Not Affect Powers of Industrial 
Commission in Right to Impose Additional Penalty for Failure to Obey Commission 
Order
In a decision handed down Saturday in the Dane county circuit court in the 
appeal from the award of the Industrial commission to Mrs. Bertha Zander 
against the Boiler Works company, for the death of her husband, Adolph Zander, 
the court upheld the commission's award and ruled that Mrs. Zander was entitled 
to 15 per cent additional on the award as penalty against the Boiler Works 
company for failure to properly protect the machinery as ordered by the 
commission. Under the decision Mrs. Zander will receive about $400 increase on 
the usual award of $3,000 for death.
Zander was killed while at work on a crane at the plant of the Boiler Works 
company and insurance companies made no contest on allowance of the award for 
death. The commission, however, added 15 per cent to the amount as penalty 
because, it said, the company had failed to obey an order of the commission, 
of properly safeguarding of the crane.
The commission had ordred that the crane at the plant be protected by a device 
similar to a street car fender but it is claimed that this was impossible and 
the insurance company set up this in its appeal to the court from the 15 percent 
penalty award. The law provides that where orders of the commission are not 
carried out a penalty may be imposed and the court upheld this feature of the 
law.
It was also argued in the case that Zander was guilty of contributory negligence 
but the court holds that negligence on one hand or contributory negligence on the 
other has no bearing on the question of the power of the Industrial commission to 
assess a 15 per cent penalty in addition to compensation for injury.

(Photo with the following caption)
"Arthur H. Zander, city clerk here for the past 20 years, died 
suddenly shortly after retiring Monday night, following his 
return from a special meeting of the City Council. Funeral 
services will be held Thursday afternoon from the Masonic Temple."

Arthur Zander, City Clerk for 20 Years, Dies of Heart Attack
Succumbs In Bed Shortly After Attendin a Council Session (Photo)
Arthur H. Zander, 68, city clerk here since 1918 and prominent in 
fraternal and civic life of Manitowoc, died suddenly of a heart 
attack at his home Monday evening an hour after he returned from 
a special meeting of the City Council.
Mr. Zander continued active until the end. He was at his duties 
at his office in the city hall Monday and took the minutes of the 
special meeting of the aldermen last night. Before the meeting, 
while conversing with City Attorney Edward Meyer he complained 
that he had suffered a slight pain in his chest a few days before 
but said it had passed over. 
Funeral Thursday
He retired soon after reaching his home, 1718 Michigan avenue 
last night. His wife, noticing his heavy breathing shortly after 
11 o'clock, sought to arouse him. When he did not respond she 
called other members of the family and a physician. He died a 
few minutes after the arrival of the doctor.
Funeral services will be held Thursday at 2 p.m. from the Masonic 
Temple under Masonic auspices. Interment will be in Evergreen 
cemetery.
Mr. Zander, born at Zander in the town of Gibson in 1869, followed 
successively the positions of school teacher, post office clerk, 
county official, weekly newspaper publisher, salesman and city 
clerk.
At the age of 16 he taught school at Neshoto, Manitowoc county. 
In 1888 he had the urge to go west and located in Tacoma, Wash., 
when that bustling western city was growing. He was employed as 
a clerk in the post office. He returned to Mishicot after four 
years, then located at Hika (Centerville), where he again taught 
school for four years.
Filled County Vacancy
In 1899 when an incumbent in the office of county clerk died, the 
county board chose Mr. Zander for the vacancy. He served out the 
remainder of the two year term but did not choose to run for the 
office again. Instead he became asociated with Sydney T. Pratt in 
operation of the Manitowoc Pilot, a weekly newspaper and job 
printing plant on York street.
Mr. Zander next entered the employ of the Schmidtmann Sons company 
as a traveling salesman. After a few years with this company he 
joined the sales force of the Ziegler Candy company, Milwaukee. 
He was with this company 18 years.
On September 9, 1918, when Walter C. Staeffler resigned as city 
clerk to enter the navy during the World war, the city council 
unanimously chose Mr. Zander to succeed him. He was re-named to 
this important post each successive year. Last May he was elected 
to a two-year term. The new charter provision now calls for the 
clerk to be elected for two years instead of one.
An Ardent Sportsman
Mr. Zander was an ardent sportsman and prominent for years in 
activities of the local chapter of the Izaak Walton leauge. He 
was on the special committee that put over the Centerville dam 
project, which created a man made lake and beauty spot 18 miles 
south of Manitowoc along the lake shore. Close to $5,000 was 
raised by Waltonians through a series of picnics held at 
Centerville.
Despite the many duties which the city clerk's office entails, 
Mr. Zander made trout fishing his hobby. He could alsways find 
time to snatch a moment to discuss a particular trout stream 
where he was sure there would be a worthwhile catch waiting.
As the business of the city increased the clerk's office became 
more and more the center of activity. Councilmen sought his 
advice and counsel in matters of legislation and procedure, and 
his
(continued on Page 2, Col. 4)
Page 2
CITY CLERK DIES OF HEART ATTACK
(Continured from page 1)
long years of service in the office gave him a fund of knowledge 
on city affairs that was a great aid during every change of 
administration.
Married In 1893
He was a past president of the Kiwanis club and a member of the 
Masons, the Untied Commercial Travelers and the Presbyterian 
Men's club. He was vice-president and director of the Manitowoc 
Building and Loan association.
In 1893 Mr. Zander married Miss Tillie Levenhagen at Mishicot. 
She survives with three sons, Fritz and Arthur, Jr., city, Karl, 
Troy, N.Y.; two daughters, Elva and Kathleen, city; two brothers, 
Editor Otto Zander of the Brillion News, Karl, Independence, Mo.; 
three sisters, Mrs. Ferdinand Heyroth, Duluth, Minn., Mrs. Nic

state until the hour of services.

CARL C.J. ZANDER

STATE'S OLDEST CIVIL WAR VET PASSES AWAY
Carl J. Zander, Two Rivers, Also Oldest Odd Fellow
Wisconsin's oldest Civil war veteran and the oldest member of the Odd Fellows
organization in the state passed away today when Carl Johan Zander, pioneer
resident of Manitowoc county, was summoned to his last rest at Two Rivers at
8:30 this morning. Mr. Zander's death occurred at the home of Miss Emma 
Zander 1629 Twenty-fifth street, in that city and his passing was quiet and 
peaceful, the sands of life running out to carry him to peaceful slumber of
death. Mr. Zander was the last survivor of a family of nine children.
Founded Factory Here
Mr. Zander, who came to Manitowoc county in 1867 was the founder of the plant
now known as the Building and Supply Co. and was among the first operators of
planing mills in pioneer days, having had a mill at the site of the present
Boiler Works plant and later on the site occupied today by the S????? depot.
Later he moved to the location of the Building and Supply Co. and the found-
ation of the business was established by him. A carpenter and cabinet maker,
Mr. Zander built all the cabins on the first boats of the Goodrich line.
Built Old Court House
The old court house building, now utilized by Company E as an armory was
erected by Mr. Zander, who superintended the work in person. Previous to
locating in this city, Mr. Zander was engaged at Two Rivers and in that city
constructed the first bridge across the river. Many other projects were
undertaken by Mr. Zander in the cities and today stand as a testimonial to
his life and industry.
Past 95 at Death
Born in Mecklenburg, Germany, October 29, 1830, Mr. Zander was past 95 years
of age when death claimed him. Up until recent months his health had been
good but the death of his wife fifteen months ago, proved a great shock and
had undermined him and in recent months he had been declining fast. Mr. and
Mrs. Zander were married 69 years ago and for more than sixty-seven years,
up to Mrs. Zander's death, an ideal companionship had been lived by the
couple and the loss of his wife caused Mr. Zander to grieve deeply and he
never recovered from the shock. Mrs. Zander was Elizabeth Lindstedt previous
to her marriage.
Mr. Zander came to America in 1853, locating at Milwaukee, where he remained
until 1867. In that year he walked from Milwaukee to ???? ?? this county, to
establish a home, and had since resided in the county. He had served in the 
Civil war and is believed to have been the oldest veteran in the state. 
Affiliating with the Odd Fellow organization in youth Mr. Zander was promin-
ent in the order and never lost interest, retaining his membership and was
the oldest Wisconsin member of the order.
Mr. Zander is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Amanda Wilkins, of Nessen City,
Mich. and Mrs. Charles Frazier of this city and by four grand children, Mrs.
E.S. Chloupek, Herald, Adolph and Arthur Frazier, and three great grand-
children. Funeral services will be held Monday from the chapel at Evergreen
cemetery in this city and will be in charge of the Odd Fellow lodges.

ED ZANDER NEAR TO DEATH WHILE AT WORK ON SHEBOYGAN PIER 
STRUCK ON HEAD BY LARGE STONE, UNCONSCIOUS AND IN DANGER OF DROWNING IN 
LAKE WHEN RESCUED
Edward Zander, a Manitowoc man employed by the Greiling Bros. of Green Bay, at 
work on the new breakwater at Sheboygan, had a narrow escape from drowning 
Thursday after he had been knocked unconscious by a large stone thrown from the 
barge Carpenter. Zander was caught between a large cement caisson and a boat 
and his body wedged in the small space to which fact he owes his life. 
Zander was walking along on the top of the concrete caission(sic), which was 
being filled with stone, when one of the huge rocks in the hands of a fellow 
workman crashed down upon his head. He was hurled over the side of the caisson 
by the impact and his body wedged between the crib and the barge. 
Had there been a few more inches space between the boat and the caisson Zander 
would have been lost. The force of the blow on his head rendered him insensible 
and he remained in that condition for some time. With his feet hanging in the 
water his wide shoulders supported his weight until fellow workmen dragged him 
out and on the barge. The blow caused a large gash in his head. 
Zander has been at Sheboygan for several months past. He was formerly employed 
as a clerk in the local postoffice and later as a rural carrier.

LOUISE ZANDER

REPORT BRIDGE WAS DARK WHEN 3 WERE KILLED
That the fatal accident at Sturgeon Bay Wednesday night in which Miss Louise 
Zander of this city and two others lost their lives was due to the fact that 
the lights on the bridge were not in working order, is the belief of Edward 
Burns and Henry Schweda, brothers-in-law of Miss Zander, who returned from 
Sturgeon Bay last night, accompanying the body of the girl. A woman and two 
boys who are said to have witnessed the accident, declared that the light 
was not burning.
The body of Miss Zander was taken to the Burns home on So. Eighth street and 
the funeral will be held Monday morning at 9 o'clock at St. Boniface church, 
with interment at Evergreen cemetery where the father of the unfortunate 
victim of the tragedy is buried.
According to information secured by Mesrs. Burns and Schweda at Sturgeon Bay 
the three occupants of the car were thrown across the electric wires by the 
collision of the car with the bridge railing, which permitted the wheels on 
one side of the car to go off the bridge. When found the three bodies were 
resting with heads on the wires and feet in the automobile. Miss Zander's 
body had no mark, except for a groove on the chin where the wire had rested 
as the current killed her. Both Miss Zander and Mr. Delwich were still alive 
when they were lifted from the wire and car but the girl died before reaching 
the hospital and Delwich a few minutes after arrival. The Dendil lad was dead 
when found.

KILLED BY LIVE WIRES
Louise Zander, 26, a Manitowoc young woman teaching school at Brussels, Door 
County, was one of three persons electrocuted when an automobile ran through 
the side guards of the toll bridge leading into Sturgeon Bay and onto a high 
tension electric wire last week.
Miss Zander was riding with Arthur Delwich, to whom she was soon to be married 
and Royce Delnil, aged 19. The couple were on their way to Sturgeon Bay to 
purchase an engagement ring. How the car came to run off the bridge will never 
be known as all three occupants were killed by the high voltage current but 
several eye witnesses said that the lights on the bridge were out of order and 
not burning. When help arrived the one side of the car was off the bridge and 
the three occupants were laying with their feet in the car and their heads out 
in contact with live wires, just as the tipping cast them. They had not moved.
Miss Zander's body was brought home to Manitowoc the next day. The funeral was 
held from the Burns home on South Eighth Streeet Monday with mass at St. Boniface 
Church and interment at Evergreen.

DEATH DUE TO A FALL ON STEPS
Accident Which Caused Death of Mrs. Zarn, Same as Mishap Ending Husband's Life
An accident similar in every feature to this mishap which had caused the death 
of her husband just two months previously, was responsible for the death of Mrs. 
Christian Zarn, of this city, whose body was brought here from the home of Mrs. 
F. Miller, a daughter.
Mrs. Zarn's death resulted from injuries which she suffered in a fall on a 
stairway and it was in an accident of exactly the same character that Mr. Zarn 
sustained fatal injuries in this city early in February. Mr. Zarn fell on one 
step and injured his hip and though the accident was not thought to be a serious 
one, it was the injury resulting which caused his death in the end. Mrs. Zarn, 
who had removed to Marinette after the death of her husband and planned to make 
her home with her daughter, Mrs. Porth, fell on the stairway leading to the 
basement of the home a week ago and owing to her advanced age the injury and 
shock resulted in death.
The funeral of Mrs. Zarn was held from the Miller home Wednesday afternoon at 
1:30 and was largely  attended. The body was interred by the side of her husband.
