MARSHALL SQUIRES

SQUIRES HITS MORE HARD LUCK IS IN HOSPITAL
Motorcycle Officer Marshall Squires of the police department who has been off 
duty for ten days because of an injury to his shoulder, will not return to the 
force for some time. Squires hit another run of hard luck yesterday when he 
was thrown into the ditch on the Town Line road near the Hall farm while 
attempting to pass an automobile. Squires suffered a fracture of the leg near 
the thigh and is a patient at the hospital where he will be confined for some 
time.
Officer Squires was riding his own machine at the time of the accident, not 
using the city machine when not on official duty. The motorcycle struck the 
rear wheel of the automobile, the motorcycle not having room to clear in 
passing. Thomas Sporer is said to have been driving the automobile.

SQUIRES FAILS TO RALLY AND DIES SATURDAY
One of Saddest Cases In History Of The City
Marshall E. Squires, member of the city police force, died at the Holy Family 
hospital Saturday afternoon at 5:15 without regaining consciousness after 
having been in a state of coma for six days. The funeral will be held Tuesday 
morning at 9 o'clock with services at Sacred Heart church, the Rev. W.J. Luby 
officiating and burial will be at Evergreen. The body is at the Urbanek & 
Wattawa company chapel.
Marshall Squires was born at Stoughton, Wis., July 18, 1891. His mother died 
when he was three months of age and he was taken to the home of the grandmother, 
mother of Mrs. Squires, to live. When Marshall reached two years of age the 
father disappeared and since that date has never been heard from. He continued 
to make his home with his grandmother and with her moved to Stevens Point, 
where she still makes her home.
Squires gained his education in the public shcools at Steven Point. In 1912 
he moved to this city and in 1913 was married to Margaret Weirichs. August 14, 
1916 he joined the Manitowoc Police department and has since remained a member 
of the force. Four years ago he purchased a home on Huron street on the 
installment plan and everything appeared to be going well with the family. 
Three babes were born to the couple, a girl and two boys.
Series of Misfortunes
Then came a series of misfortunes which ended with the death of Squires at the 
hospital Saturday afternoon after one of the most heroic fights for life ever 
made by a man. His wife suffered an attack of the flue as the first incident of 
the series of ill fortune. She recovered but was left in a weakened condition 
and January 31, 1921 both mother and a new born baby died. Squires, left alone 
with three small children, tried to conduct his household but finally decided 
to comply with the dying wish of the wife and took the children to the home of 
her brother, Henry Wierichs, at Eagle River, where they have since made their 
home. A year ago last summer Squires was made city speed cop and figured in a 
number of accidents in making arrests of offenders.
On Sunday, October 16 he was returning from a trip in the country when he was 
given a bad spill in attempting to pass an automobile on the road. He suffered 
a broken left leg, the break being within a few inches of the hip and while he 
was at the hospital with his leg in a sling to allow the bone to set he fell 
victim to an attack of pneumonia. During his delirium the setting of the leg 
bone was destroyed and for weeks the man lay with his leg in the sling waiting 
patiently for a new set but the mending was slow becuase of the nature of the 
break. Then came the attack of appendicitis and the operation and the man in 
his weakened condition failed to rally from the shock. He lapsed into a state 
of unconsciousness last Monday and died Saturday afternoon at 5:15 at just 
about the time that his three children, who had been sent for, were arriving 
at the station here. It was a sad home coming for them with nothing to break 
the blow which they had to suffer.
Had No Near Relatives
Other than the grandmother, Mrs. Arena Coats of Stevens Point, with whom he 
made his home and who arrived here some days ago to be with her grandson, 
Squires has no near relatives unless his father is still living somewhere in 
these United States. No word was ever received from him either directly or 
indirectly after his disappearance twenty-nine years ago. Only the three 
orphaned children, Beatrice aged 8, Robert aged 6, and Donald, age 4, survive 
him to know grief as it is known to but few children. They will return to 
Eagle River to continue to make their home with their uncle and aunt.
Squires was a member of the Modern Woodman lodge but belonged to no other 
orders.
Perform Autopsy
Drs. Hammond, Stueck and Donahue perfomed an autopsy on the body of Marshall 
Squires Saturday evening to verify a diagnosis of meningitis for which the 
patient had been treated for the past ten days and which developed following 
the operation for.........

SUBSCRIPTION FOR SQUIRES FAMILY STARTED
Headed by two subscriptions of $50 each, the local campaign to raise a trust 
fund for the bereaved family of the late Marshall E. Squires was inaugurated 
today. Local charitable and city organizations are sponsoring the movement to 
raise a trust fund for the three children ranging from three to nine years of 
age, and who are at present with an uncle at Eagle River. The latter, who is 
endeavoring to make a livelihood on a forty-acre entover farm eight miles 
from Eagle River has no means to support the children, which prompted local 
public spirited citizens to endeavor to raise a substanital sum.
It is proposed to take the money which is subscribed and create a trust fund 
and appoint a trustee here to have charge of the investment, the interest 
proceeds of which will be given to the uncle of the children as their legal 
guardian, to provide means of support and education.
There is a universal expression of sympathy in the community which will, no 
doubt, manifest itself in generous contributions to the fund for the little 
family, which death, has robbed of parental love and tenderness.

MESSAGES BRING NEWS OF TWO MORE MANITOWOC BOYS MAKING SUPREME SACRIFICE OVER THERE
Lieut. Otto Oas, Co. H, Succumbs to Wounds Received Months Ago and 
Oscar Staalson Killed in Action on October 12 Says War Department
Messages received in the city late yesterday added the names of two 
more Manitowoc boys to the honor roll of the dead who gave their lives

the war department at Washington. 
Staalson Killed in Action. Private Oscar Staalson, son of Joseph Staalson, 
met his death in action Oct. 12 but yesterday’s message was the first 
knowledge that the family here had of his fate. The absence of word from 
Priv. Staalson had caused apprehension and an appeal was made to the war 
department for investigation some time ago and yesterday’s message was 
the result. Born in this city March 4, 1886, Priv. Staalson was 34 years 
of age. He left here in April, being sent to Camp Custer with a contingent 
from District 1 and in July was transferred to Camp Mills and became a 
member of the intelligence section of the Second battalion, Fourth regiment 
infantry and crossed seas. Priv. Staalson previous to his induction into 
services was employed as a printer with the Brandt Printing and Binding 
company in this city. He is survived by his parents, two brothers, Peter 
of this city and Joseph who is with the 111th Field artillery, Battery C 
and one sister, Mrs. Gustave Lindemann of Sheboygan. He was a member of 
the Chickerming lodge Odd Fellows and of the local branch of the 
Typographical Union.

HEINRICH STADLER

MANAGER FIRST LUMBER CO. OF COUNTY DIES 
Henry Stadler, Pioneer, Passes Away at Age of 88 
Henry Stadler, one of the oldest pioneers of Manitowoc county, who in pioneer 
days was the manager of the first lumber company of the county, died at his 
home in the town of Kossuth Sunday at the advanced age of 88 years. Mr. Stadler 
had been a resident of the county for nearly sixty years and was one of the 
most widely known of pioneer settlers. He was manager for the Jones Lumber Co. 
at Two Rivers fifty years ago when the company operated as one of the pioneer 
firms.
Mr. Stadler’s death was sudden and unexpected. He was up and about as usual 
yesterday and only last week made a visit to the city and attended to several 
business matters. 
For many years Mr. Stadler conducted a hotel and dance hall in Kossuth, Stadler’s 
hall being one of the landmarks of the county and in its day one of the gathering 
places for social affairs.
Wedded 60 Years
Mr. Stadler was born in Saxony, November 10, 1836 and came to Manitowoc county in 
1855, taking up his home at Two Rivers, July 5, that year. Later he made his home 
at Shoto and later established his business about six miles north of the city.
Married April 28, 1864 at St. Boniface church in this city to Katherine Miller, 
Mr. Stadler was privileged to live to celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of his 
marriage, Mrs. Stadler surviving him at his death yesterday. The wedding 
anniversary celebration deferred until July 16 was an event attracting much 
interest from friends of the couple and they received many congratulatory messages.
Mr. Stadler is survived by four children besides his wife, Mrs. Anna Meyer, Mrs. 
Rudolph Bishop, this city, Mrs. Mary Wuellner, Mishicot and John at Kossuth. There 
are twenty-four grandchildren and nineteen great grand children.
Funeral Wednesday
The body of Mr. Stadler was brought to this city and taken to Kersten officiating. 
Burial will be at Evergreen.

the funeral will take place Wednesday morning to St. Boniface church at 9, the

After 60 Years Together
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Stadler, Manitowoc county pioneers, celebrated the 
sixtieth anniversary of their wedding day last Monday, but owing to 
inability of some of their children to be present on that occasion, plans 
are being made for a more elaborate celebration at a later date when a 
reunion of all members of the family is to be held.
Mr. and Mrs. Stadler, whose photos appear above, are well and favorably 
known and receive the felicitations of a host of friends. Sixty years is 
a long time but Mr. and Mrs. Stadler say that it is short when marked by 
a companionship that is happy and congenial and they bear out the truth 
of this in their youth and appearance at the ages of 88 and 82 today.

MILTON STAEFFLER

Accidental deaths claimed two Manitowoc boys over the weekend. The dead…
Milton Staeffler, 9, son of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Staeffler, 1024 Menasha 
avenue, drowned near State park, Door county, Sunday afternoon…
Are on Outing 
Although there were hundreds of picnickers and bathers near the scene, Milton 
Staeffler, 9, drowned in shallow water near the Peninsula state park in Door 
county.
Mr. and Mrs. Staeffler with their two sons, Milton and George, 7, joined a 
Manitowoc outing party Sunday for a vacation visit at the Door county park. They 
camped at Nicolet bay. In the afternoon Milton Staeffler secured the consent of 
his father to don his bathing suit for a swim. He waded out from shore where 
scores of other were also in the water.
After a few minutes his parents went to call him. He did not answer their shouts. 
A hasty search failed to locate him among other bathers along the beach.
Find Body 
Searching parties were hastily organized and in 15 minutes the body was found in 
three feet of water. It was carried ashore and under the direction of Dr. R. W. 
Hammond, who was at the scene, artificial respiration was resorted to for several 
hours. It was of no avail.
The Staeffler boy could swim and it is believed he may have been overcome by the 
heat and toppled over while wading out from the shore.
Funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock from the Wattawa, 
Urbanek and Schlei funeral home with the Rev. C. H. Phipps officiating. Interment 
will be in Evergreen cemetery. The body may be viewed at the funeral home from

Life’s journey, which had for him covered a span of ninety years, ended for 
Joseph Staehle, Sr., pioneer business man, former city treasurer and alderman, 
when death came to him at the hospital at 7 o’clock last night. The death of

MAX STAEHLE, DR.

DR. STAEHLE LOSES BATTLE FOR LIFE
CITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT HEAD IS DEAD
End Came At the Hospital Last Night After Illness of Only Four Days
"Tis the wink of an eye, the draught of a breath
From the blossom of health, to paleness of death."
Words of the lamented poet were emphasized to Manitowoc in the announcement 
of the death of Dr. Max Staehle, city health commissioner, at the hospital 
last night after an illness of less than four days. Late yesterday grave 
fears were expressed that Dr. Staehle could not survive and at ten o'clock 
last night the end came. Mrs. Staehle was with her husband as death claimed 
him.
News of the death of Dr. Staehle is keenly felt by the city which he had 
served for many years as head of its health department and where he had spent 
practically his entire life. Up to late Saturday afternoon he had been about 
the city in discharge of his work for (illegible) but had complained of what 
he thought was an attack of indigestion. A physician summoned that evening 
diagnosed his condition as due to an attack of appendicitis and later Dr. 
Staehle was removed to the hospital, but before an operation could be 
undertaken, the appendix burst and it was impossible to remove it. His 
condition was reported serious and with the passing days, his battle for 
life was under a great handicap and last night ended in defeat for him.
Funeral on Saturday
Funeral services for Dr. Staehle will be held Saturday morning at 9 from St. 
Boniface church and following the service, a military burial will be given 
the dead, Dr. Staehle having been a veteran of the World War, member of the 
national guard and held a commission in the 121st Field Artillery medical 
corps. Burial will be at Evergreen cemetery.
Practiced Here 38 Years
Born in this city June 10, 1869, Dr. Staehle was approaching his sixtieth 
year when stricken and for twenty-eight years had been engaged in practice 
of his profession in this city. He had served as city health officer and 
later city health commissioner for many years and was recognized for his 
conscientious service and desire to safeguard public health. He had been 
under considerable strain the past several weeks in combatting dangers of 
an epidemic of influenza and it is believed that his condition may have been 
affected by his work to lessen resistance when the attack came upon him. He 
received a letter of appreciation from the state board of health only a few 
days prior to his death for his work in the flu situation.
Dr. Staehle had spent most of the years of his life in Manitowoc. Educated 
in the local schools he followed teaching for a time, here and at Port 
Washington, and then entered the Milwaukee Medical college and later the 
Chicago College of Medicine from which he graduated, and then established 
his practice here. For years he was physican here for the Fraternal Order 
of Eagles in this city and was interested in civic affairs and took an 
active part in many organizations.
Married on October 15, 1892, to Elizabeth Roemer, he is survived by his 
widow, by three sisters, Mrs. Caroline Betz, Milwaukee; Mrs. Emma Thies, 
Chicago and Mrs. Rose Hagen, of this city and by two brothers Frank W. and 
Joseph.
???? ????? ?????
Dr. Staehle was an ardent lover of Nature and the great outdoor and several 
years ago through his efforts the Ravine Park Association was organized to 
take ???? property at Rapids as summer homes and more than a dozen cottages 
now grace the property known as the Klingholz farm, in the heart of one of 
the most beautiful of scenic spots of this section. Dr. Staehle had given 
much time to the project and the association.
Official Circles Mourn
City officials who had been close to Dr. Staehle in his work today voiced 
high appreciation of his work and character and expressed keen sorrow over 
his death. The flag at the city hall was at half mast and the flag at the 
Eagles club and the Elks home was also at half mast, he having been a member 
of both Orders.
School Board Tribute
Dr. Staehle, in absence of a regularly appointed physician for the public 
schools of the city, acted in capacity of ex-officio medical officer for the 
schools under the Board of Education and for the Board today, City Supt. H.S. 
Bonar said that the body desired to express its appreciation of the services 
he had rendered, of the courtesy that had always marked the relationship of 
Dr. Staehle with the board and to say that at all times, he had given of his 
time and effort to further the cause of health in the schools, often at 
sacrifice to himself. "Dr. Staehle is deserving of the thanks of the Board 
and the public for his services and the Board desires to voice its 
appreciation." said Mr. Bonar.
*******
DUTY LAST THOUGHT OF DR. STAEHLE AS DEATH APPROACHED
Duty-its faithful performance-was the last thought of Dr. Max
Staehle, city health commissioner, as life ebbed at the hospital
last night. Attendants and friends gathered at his bedside as the
end approached say that in his delirium as Death overcame him Dr.
Staehle asked whether any new cases have been reported today and
how the fight was going, referring undoubtedly to the influenza
situation to which his attention had been given the final weeks
of life.
"Faithful unto the end" is a tribute which may be inscribed in
writing finis to his career.

Lieut, Stahl, who since leaving Manitowoc 20 years ago was engaged in farming 
in the northern part of the state, suffered a stroke on Saturday and died in a 
short time. The body was brought here today for burial.
With his death, only one of the three commissioned officers who led the local 
militia command out of Manitowoc over 35 years ago survives. He is Captain 
William Abel. Captain Norman A. Knudson died here a few months ago.
Born in City 
Lieut. Stahl was born in this city December 1, 1876. After completing a school 
course he took up the molder’s trade and for years was employed at the Smalley 
plant. He early took an interest in matters military and joined Company H. He 
advanced through the ranks of noncommissioned officers until he was chosen 
second lieutenant of the company when the war with Spain broke out in 1898.
Summoned to Camp Harvey at Milwaukee for ___ nization into the United States 
service, Company H, left Manitowoc in command of Captain William Abel and 
Lieutenants N. A. Knudson and August Stahl. When Capt. Abel was taken ill in a 
southern port of embarkation and First Lieut. Knudson took command of Company H 
on the expedition to Puerto Rico, Lieut. Stahl became first lieutenant.
Kept Command 
When Company H returned from the Spanish-American war Lieut. Stahl continued 
with the command when it was reorganized for peace time service and took a 
commission in the company under Captain Knudson.
Soon after the war the deceased engaged in partnership with George Groffman 
in the Snowflake Laundry which was established at Ninth and York streets. Later 
Mr. Groffman sold out his interests to Mr. Stahl who was joined by his twin 
brother Albert in the laundry business. Disposing of this business 20 years ago 
the deceased moved to Pittsville, Wis., to engage in farming. 
Mr. Stahl was a member of the Masonic order. He never married.
Four Brothers
Survivors are four brothers, Charles of this city, Louis, Chillicothe, Ill., 
John of St. Louis and Fred of Milwaukee; and three sisters, Mrs. Edward 
Thuss, Two Rivers, Mrs. Edward Bloedorn, Detroit, and Mrs. Minnie Abels,

OSBORNE STAMSTA

Man Sued for Divorce Hangs Self in Jail Cell 
Osborn Stamsta, 44, shipyard worker, who yesterday was served with a divorce 
summons by a deputy sheriff, ended his life early today by hanging himself in 
his cell at the county jail.
When Stamsta refused to obey the order of Deputy Sheriff Elder Wetenkamp to 
leave the home, 1213 Manilla street, the officer sought to lead him from the 
premises. He resisted and Wetenkamp called police to aid him. They brought 
Stamsta to the jail.
Jailer Finds Body 
Stamsta’s body was discovered shortly after 7 o’clock this morning by Jailer 
Kurt Buschman when he went to ask the prisoner if he desired breakfast. Stamsta 
had fastened his necktie to a bar of the cell six feet from the floor and the 
other end about his neck. He then squatted down on his haunches until the tight 
noose choked him to death.
According to Buschman, the prisoner was asleep on the cell cot when he made the 
final rounds last night at 11 o’clock.
Coroner Gerald Rau and District Attorney John Cashman, who were called to the 
jail by Sheriff Norman Berkedal, announced there will be no inquest. The body 
was removed to the Pfeffer funeral home.
The suicide marked the 42nd violent death in the county in 1937.
Mrs. Stamsta, in her divorce complaint, alleged she was forced to leave her 
husband at times because he drank heavily and abused her. In 1930 she alleges 
$3,000 she inherited had been turned over to the use of the family. She reported 
advancing the initial payment for the purchase of the home here.
Born in Norway 
Mr. Stamsta was born in Norway and when a young man accompanied his parents to 
this country. The family located at Iola, Wis. He came to this city and was 
employed as horeshoer. He was World war veteran. 
In 1924 at Morrison, Brown county, he married Miss Hilda Kriehn, and they came 
to this city, where for a number of years he had been employed at the shipyards.
Survivors are the widow; two sons, Arfin, 12, and Eugene, 10; parents, Mr. and 
Mrs. Anton Stamsta, Iola, Wis.; brother, Grunwald, Wausau; five sisters, Mrs. 
George Foster, Wausau, Mrs. Desmond Steele, Shiocton, Wis., Mrs. Melvin Johanson,

CHARLES G. STANGEL

Charles G. Stangel, Veteran Educator, Dies at His Home
Spent Half century in Teaching Profession
Charles G. Stangel, 78, veteran educator, who retired in 1947 as principal of 
Lincoln high school here after a 35 year span, died Saturday night at his home, 
629 North Ninth street. 
His death came after only a brief illness.
Funeral services for Mr. Stangel, who was identified with the teaching profession 
for nearly half a century and whose activities extended beyond the realm of 
education in various other fields of civic advancement, will be held at 8:30 a.m. 
Tuesday at the Mittnacht funeral home and at 9 o’cock at the Sacred Heart church 
of which he was a member. The Rev. L. M. Schorn will officiate. Burial will be in 
Evergreen cemetery.
When Mr. Stangel was honored by the Lions club in 1946 at a testimonial banquet 
at which he was presented with a scroll for distinguished service in education 
he was given this significant tribute; 
“Student, athlete, coach and educator beloved by thousands of his students, he 
has been a central figure in the educational scheme of things in Manitowoc.”
His passing marks the end of close to a 50 year span in the education field of 
city, county and state. 
Earned First Diploma 
Mr. Stangel was born in 1871 at Tisch Mills, attended the Mishicot district school, 
where he received the first common school diploma issued in Manitowoc county and 
was graduated from Two Rivers high school in 1897. Prior to that he taught school 
for four years at Tisch Mills and attended Valparaiso university, Indiana, in 
1891-92, completing a two year course in 50 weeks. He also taught four years in 
Forestville, Wis. 
He entered the University of Wisconsin shortly before the turn of the century 
completing the course in two and a half years, majoring in physics and science. 
He was “W” man in football and track playing guard on the Wisconsin team in 1898, 
which boasted the great Pat O’Dea, famous punter. Mr. Stangel established a world’s 
record in the hammer throw in 1898. 
Signed with the Chicago Athletic club he was named as a member of the 1900 U.S. 
Olympic team in the weight events, but decided not to compete.
He taught physics at the University of Wisconsin in 1899, physics and science at 
Madison high school in 1960 and physics in Milwaukee West Division high school in 
1901. He then went to Sturgeon Bay in 1902 as principal of the high school and 
superintendent of schools. He established the first complete athletic program at 
Sturgeon Bay and coached the four major sports in high school, football, baseball, 
track and basketball.
Close To Students
In 1912 Mr. Stangel came to Manitowoc as principal of the high school and remained 
in that capacity until his retirement at the close of the school year in 1947. 
During that period he consistently refused to be considered for the superintendency 
here as well as in other Wisconsin and Illinois cities, because of his desire to 
remain in closer contact with the young people under his guidance in high school.
His vocational guidance of students was the foundation of the present program, both 
locally and nationally. Through his system of guidance and follow through college 
and private life many students have made him their guide and inspiration in later 
life.
This closeness to the students resulted in an appreciation move by the student body 
when they subscribed to a free membership for him in the National Education association, 
the first such membership in Manitowoc. Judge Henry Graass of Green Bay, a lifelong 
friend, made the presentation in 1938.
He was state resident of the (Continued on Page 2, Col. 5)… 
CHARLES STANGEL, EDUCATOR, DEAD…CONTINUED FROM Page 1…
Wisconsin Teacher association in 1934, and headed the Izaak Walton league in 1940 
and was president of the local chapter in 1937. He continued to serve as a state 
director after his presidency. He was for years a member of the Rotary club here, 
its president in 1940 and chairman of the club’s vocational guidance committee. 
Active in Clubs 
A member of the Sacred Heart parish he served in several church offices. He was a 
fourth degree member of the Knights of Columbus, a past president of the Holy Name 
society and a member of the Holy Name speakers bureau. He was also active in Boy 
Scout work and in 1944 received the Silver Beaver award. 
For more than 25 years “Prof.” Stangel, as he was known by thousands of his high 
school pupils, taught every naturalization class in the city and had the pleasure 
of seeing more than 500 of his pupils admitted to citizenship.
He was a past president of the Manitowoc County Teachers association, the Manitowoc 
Education association, Northeastern Wisconsin Teachers association, Lake Shore 
Schoolmasters club and the Fox River Valley athletic conference. 
Even after Mr. Stangel gave up active coaching, following his taking the principal-
ship of the high school here, he continued his interest in athletics and assisted 
the regular coaches in football and track here. Later he officiated as timer in 
numerous high school athletic events here and away.
Married in 1901
At the time of his retirement in 1947, the board of education adopted a resolution, 
commending him on his long service in the field of education and presented him with 
a letter “expressing our high regard for him as an educational leader and as a citizen 
of Manitowoc.”
After his retirement as principal in 1947 Mr. Stangel continued in an advisory capacity 
at Lincoln high school for another year.
In 1901 Mr. Stangel married Miss Anna Schleis. She survives with a son, Milton, of 
Los Angeles; two daughters, Mrs. Roman Herman of this city and Mrs. Walter Normington 
of Stevens Point; and eight brandchildren. Another daughter, Mrs. Gerald McKeever,

JACOB J. STANGEL

JACOB STANGEL, HEAD OF STANGEL CO. IS KILLED IN FALL
WALKS INTO OPEN ELEVATOR SHAFT AT NOON AND FALLS FIFTEEN FEET TO HIS DEATH
Rushed To Hospital But Never Regaians Consciousness-City Shocked By The News
Jacob J. Stangel, one of the city's leading business men, died at 
the Holy Family hospital shortly before 2 o'clock this afternoon 
as a result of injuries received in a fall down the elevator shaft 
at his store at noon, and the entire city is shocked by the news.
The accident which cost the life of Mr. Stangel was not witnessed 
by anyone and his unconscious form, bruised and bleeding, was found 
in the basement pit of the elevator by one of the men. He was rushed 
to the hospital, where he was immediately placed upon the operating 
table but died without regaining consciousness.
Gate Had Failed to Work
A few minutes before Mr. Stangel was found lying on the basement floor 
he had been about on the first floor of the store. It is presumed he 
walked into the open elevator shaft from the iron room which is at the 
rear of the salesroom. The elevator had been stopped at the second 
floor and it is thought that one of the gates, the one guarding the 
entrance from the iron room, failed to operate. The light in the rear 
room is poor and it is believed that Mr. Stangel walked into the open 
shaft when he failed to note that the elevator was not in place.
The distance of the fall is about fifteen feet, but Mr. Stangel was a 
big man, weighing close to 275 pounds, and his plunge to the cement 
floor of the basement caused injungements and a more detailed account 
of Mr. Stangel's life and activities will be given tomorrow.

Jacob Stangel-An Appreciation
Modest, unassuming, big hearted Jacob Stangel, has passed to his reward. 
The places that have known his cheery smile, his kindly ministrations, 
will be void and a community will miss him as it misses few men.
It is a difficult task to pay tribute to a man of Jacob Stangel's type. 
He falls into a class of men of which history is replete, of those who, 
in their lifetime, form an even balance of the virtures and who require 
their absence to furnish the perspective that brings into relief their 
moral and intellectual stature.
Phraseology fails us in paying tribute to this man. Ordinary adjectives 
seem stilted. We knew him as a big business man, as a lover of home, of 
family, of his neighbor.
In his daily business life his gift for detail was nothing short of 
phenomenal. He made decisions instantly with almost unerring judgment. 
He assumed responsibility from all directions. In a field of larger 
opportunity his qualities might have carried him to any limit. He had 
courage, initiative and a positive genius for sustained effort. The 
big business which he built in a few years stands as a memorial to the 
place which he occupied in the business world.
We have not yet been able to realize that he has gone. How many of us 
there are who, in our daily life, come within just one step of eternity. 
We pause before we take it. And this is what brings to us in Jacob 
Stangel's untimely death a realization of the uncertainty of earthly 
existence. The communtiy stands shocked at the horror of the tragedy. 
It cannot yet sense the striking down of a grand fellow in his prime.
He was gentle and unaffected, frank, sincere, dependable. His life, 
simply the natural flow of Christian integrity, led one to think of 
Pasteur's Breton peasant, so peaceful it seemed.
Jacob Stangel left no duty, domestic, religious or civic, undone; no call 
from charity was left unanswered; no trust repose in him violated; not 
pretense of things he was not; no bigotry; not hatred; no deceit.
Here was surely a full, successful life, incomplete only in its duration-
sadly incomplete there. The city has lost on of its biggest men-how big 
not all really know. His going "leaves a lonesome place against the sky."

ENTIRE CITY MOURNS DEATH OF J.J. STANGEL
Was city Booster Of Extraordinary Type-Funeral Friday
The city today had not yet recovered from the shock caused by the news of 
the death of Jacob J. Stangel as a result of an accident yesterday noon. 
Mr. Stangel lived less than an hour after the accident occurred at the 
store and died at the hospital without regaining consciousness. His skull 
had been fractured by the fall.
First reports were that Mr. Stangel had walked into the open elevator shaft 
when one of the safety gates failed to operate but this version of the 
accident has been corrected. Mr. Stangel had returned from his noonday meal 
at home and had been talking to a traveling salesman to whom he had given 
an order for goods. The order had been signed when Mr. Stangel appeared 
suddenly to think of something else which he might want. He asked the 
salesman to wait for a moment and started for the rear of the store.
WAS IT A PREMONITION?
That some calamity impended, that some tragedy seemed to permeate the 
atmosphere, was felt by members of the store family all during the 
forenoon. Several of the clerks and the office force were so depressed 
by the mysterious something that they went about their work absent-
mindedly. When the accident occurred they felt it was premonition.
A private office is being built over the store office and the work was 
almost completed, the work of laying the linoleum floor having been 
planned for yesterday. Mr. Stangel stopped to talk to Sam Nimmer about 
this work and while he was talking to the man, lifted the guard gate to 
the elevator shaft. Without looking to see whether the elevator was in 
place he stepped into the opening and plunged to his death on the concrete 
floor in the basement
Paralyzes The Force
The suddennnes of the whole thing paralyzed the whole force of men for 
a few moments and then assistance was rushed to the stricken man, the 
ambulance summoned and he was hurried to the hospital but he was beyond 
human aid and died at 1:45.
Jacob J. Stangel was born at Tisch

ENTIRE CITY MOURNS DEATH OF J.J. STANGEL
(Continued From Page 1.)
Mills July 22, 1869 and would have been fifty-three years old on his next 
birthday anniversary. He received his early education in the rural schools 
of the county and later went to the University of Wisconsin where he 
completed a short course in agriculture, specializing in dairying and 
cheesemaking. He returned to Tisch Mills and for a time was employed by 
his brother as cheesemaker. For a year he acted as instructor in work in 
various factories in this and Kewaunee county and for another year he 
served as a buyer. June 15, 1896 he was married to Mary Krcma and shortly 
after the wedding the couple moved to Thorpe, Wis., where Mr. Stangel was 
manager of the store and other interest of the Nye, Lusk & Hudson company 
for more than four years. He resigned the position to come to this city 
where he accepted a position with the Rand & Roemer Hardware company, 
acting in several capacities, including that of traveling salesman. In 
1891 he was made the manager.
Member of North Side Firm
Later with Messrs. Worel and Zeman the company was taken over under the 
name of Worel, Zeman, Stangel company. Zeman retired and for a number of 
years the company was known as the Worel, Stangel co. In 1917 Mr. Stangel 
withdrew from the company to engage in the wholesale and retail hardware 
business for himself and erected the large new store at the corner of 
Eighth and Quay streets. Mr. Stangel has held the controlling interest in 
the big company and it was through his untiring effort, his great capacity 
for detail and his business intuitiveness that the company has grown to be 
one of the largest business houses in this section of the state, employing 
a traveling sales force and enjoying a enviable reputation for square 
dealing and promptness.
Mr. Stangel was a member of the local council Knights of Columbus and was 
also a fourth degree man, he was a member of the Catholic Knights of 
Wisconsin, Catholic Knights of Wisconsin, Catholic Foresters, Elks, Rotary 
and United Commercial Travelers. In addition he was a member of the board 
of directors of the National bank, a member fo the Manitowoc Boy Scout 
Council, President of the Manitowoc Association of Commerce and a member 
of the executive committee of the national Wholesale and Retail Hardware 
Men's Association.
Active In Civic Affairs
He was active in all the interests with which he was identified and was a 
home town booster every hour of the twenty-four of the day. Aggressive, 
his judgment was keen and unerring but he was nevertheless kindly and big 
hearted, a fact which more than one family in this city can bear testimony 
to. He was a great booster for the Holy Family hospital and in his quiet 
way has probably done more for that institution than any other individual 
in the city.
Mr. Stangel is survived by his widow, two sons, Arthur and Harvey and one 
daughter, Viola. Miss Stangel, who attends the University of Wisconsin, 
had been home for the Easter vacation and had expected to return to Madison 
yesterday afternoon. She had left her father just a few minutes before the 
accident happened and had gone to the North Western depot with her cousin, 
Milton Stangel, who was also returning to his studies at Madison. The 
latter got on the train without becoming aware of his uncle's injury but 
was reached later by telegram aboard the train and returned to the city 
last night.
Besides the widow and children six brothers, Prof. Charles G., of this city, 
John of Forth Worth, Texas; Frank of Oklahoma City, Joseph, Wenzel and 
George, of Tisch Mills and one sister, Mrs. Mary Riha, Town of Carlton, 
also survive.
Funeral On Friday
The funeral will be held at 9 o'clock Friday morning with solemn high mass, 
service at Sacred Heart church. The Knights of Columbus will be in charge 
and burial will be at Evergreen.

LAST SAD RITES FOR JACOB STANGEL ARE PERFORMED AT SACRED HEART CHURCH TODAY
Under a wealth of flowers that breathed a fragrance of last fond remembrance, 
all that was earthly of the late Jacob J. Stangel was today lowered to its 
last resting place at Evergreen.
Never in the history of Manitowoc has such an outpouring of citizens attended 
a funeral. Never was there occasioned such widespread sorrow. That the 
deceased was respected by all was attested by the hundreds and hundreds that 
visited the grief stricken (photo) home in the last three days where the form 
of this best beloved citizen reposed in state.
The church auditorium today was inadequate to seat the assmeblage. Automobile 
parties from a radius of forty miles attended, and practically all the 
residents of the village of Tisch Mills, where the family is well known, 
came to pay a last tribute.
Solemn Requiem Mass
Solemn requiem mass was sung at Scared Heart Catholic church at 10 o'clock, 
Rev. W.J. Luby, pastor of the church, officiating as celebrant; Rev. Vandrachek 
of Francis Creek as deacon, Rev. Scheidhauer as subdeacon, Rev. Shimek of Tisch 
Mills as master of ceremonies and Rev. Decker of Reedsville as thurifer, and 
Rev. T.J. O'Leary, of Green Bay, Rev. Belle of Mishicot and Rev. Malkowski in 
the sanctuary.
"In the Midst of Life We Are in Death" and We Know Not the Hour," was the text 
of a beautiful short eulogy paid to the departed by Father Luby, who called to 
mind the personal attributes of the deceased as a basis of his popularity and 
who drew a lesson from his Christian fortitude to drive home the necessity for 
being prepared at any time to meet one's Maker.
K.C. in Charge
The Rotary club, Knights of Columbus, Elks and other organizations both civic 
and religious, with which the deceased was affiliated attended in bodies. 
Honorary pall bearers were: Rotarians Frank Hoffman, Arch P. Rankin and S.D. 
Eckel; Elks, F.C. Schultz, John Kellner and Charles Bouril. The active pall 
bearers from the Knights of Columbus were: John Koutnik, John Healy, Aubrey 
Egan, Joseph Kestly, George LaBreche, Edward L. Kelley.
