HENRY F. MANGER

Mishicott Jan 30 1871 
Ed. Tribue - It becomes our painful duty to record one of those distressing 
tragedies that are becoming alarmingly prevalent in our own town, as well as 
all over the country, and which shocked and startled our quiet village on the 
evening of the 25th inst. in the announcement that Henry F. Manger, one of our 
citizens had committed suicide by hang [sic] himself in his shop, which, he 
used as a tannery. This is the third case of suicide in our town since last May.  
It is the same old story - family troubles mixed with bad whisky.
The deceased was a native of Germany and is said, at one time to have been possessed 
of some means. He had occasionally been heard to say that he would put an end to 
his existence; but no one supposed that he entertained any serious idea putting 
into execution such threats.

***********
Suicide.  -- Henry F. Manger, a man quite advanced in years, hung himself 
Wednesday Jan. 25th to a beam in his Tannery in Mishicott because he had been 
required to enter into bonds to keep the peace for six months, and either would 
not [ink blot covers next word] could not give the security demanded.  
First cause:  habitual drunkenness.

(The following was sent in by a family member/see contributors page)
I was looking through your Manitowoc geneology website and in a section
called "Manitowoc Deaths Not in the Cemeteries" I found the name of a
relative of mine that I knew - Ira Mathiesen (two of my great great
grandmothers were Mathiesens). There was a note requesting information
on the individuals. Ira is buried in the Holy Cross II Cemetary in
Mishicot. He is in a gravesite with his parents, Agnes and Richard who
appeared in your Holy Cross II index. Also buried with him are two of
his brothers, Otto, George, a third male I can't remember the name of 
who from the age must have been another brother, along with his twin 
sisters Lucy and Anne. 
Ira, George, Otto, Lucy and Anne all lived on a farm together on Lake
Michigan just north of the town of Two Creeks. When I was a kid a
highlight of our vacations to Wisconsin was a trip to the Mathiesens'
farm to see the cows, pigs and horses. My grandfather, another Ira - 
Ira Johnson, always made sure we stopped by.
Ira Mathiesen was the oldest of the five and never learned to drive a 
car or a tractor. When he was still working the farm (they got bought 
out by the nuclear power plants) he still used a team of work horses. 
He liked to brag that he had the last team of working horses in the 
county and one of the last in the state.
None of the five Mathiesens on the farm ever got married, but another
brother who must be buried somewhere else, Earl (I think thats right)
moved to town (believe it was Two Rivers) and had lots of kids so there
are probably lots of Mathiesen relatives around the county yet.
I hope this information proves useful. If you would like any additional
information please email me and hopefully I will be able to help you.

Mother of Five is First Car Victim 
Mrs. Ambrose Meyer is No. 1 Auto Fatality in County This Year
Mrs. Ambrose Meyer, 41, 943 North 11th street, mother of five 
children, died late Sunday afternoon in the municipal hospital, 
Two Rivers, 12 hours after being struck by a Manitowoc-bound 
automobile on Memorial drive a mile south of the Roosevelt avenue 
crossing, Two Rivers. 
Edward Breitwisch, 21, 1622 Division street, driver of the car, 
told county officials Sunday that icy pavements prevented him 
from avoiding Mrs. Meyer after he saw her and a companion on the 
road only 25 feet in front of him. 
Mrs. Meyer, who sustained a fractured skull, broken leg, and 
internal injuries, died without regaining consciousness…As an 
aftermath of the accident, which the officials decided was 
unavoidable, a dragnet has been spread through the county in an 
effort to locate the driver of a 1937 model car who refused 
Breitwisch’s request to take the injured woman to the hospital 
because he “did not want to get the seats covered with blood.” 
The license number of the car was not obtained…

RUDOLPH MEYER

BROKEN NECK FATAL TO TWO RIVERS MAN, DIED EARLY SUNDAY
Rudolph Meyer, Injured when Thrown by a Colt, Dies at Hospital
Sunday Morning, Body Taken to 2 Rivers
Rudolph Meyer, the town of Two Rivers man who suffered a broken
neck when he was thrown by a young colt on his farm Friday, died
at the Holy Family hospital early Sunday morning. The body was 
taken to Two Rivers and from there to the home for burial.
Nothing will ever be known of the accident which cost Meyer his
life as he was unable to tell how it happened and no one witnessed
the accident. Meyer was in the stable yard alone, caring for the
colt and it is believed that he was thrown by the animal and that
the jar fractured the vertebrae as there were no marks on the 
spine or body to indicate that the injury had been caused by a 
blow, such as a kick from the horse, and striking of the man on
an obstruction. The yard is rather stoney and there was considerable
wood about the lot but evidently Meyer had not fallen on a stone
or a piece of wood and the only explanation is that the jar when
he was thrown by the colt, snapped the cord.
Meyer was 42 years of age and married and leaves a wife and one
child to mourn his death. An operation was performed late Saturday
afternoon in hope of saving the man's life but it was unavailing
and he died a few hours later.

MISHICOT MAN INJURED IN ACCIDENT DIES 
Henry Mott Fails to Survive Hurt in Fall From Car
Injuries which he sustained when he fell from the running board of an 
automobile while giving chase to his runaway team, proved fatal to Henry 
Mott, well known Mishicot pioneer, and death came to him at his home at 
midnight last night. Mr. Mott sustained a fracture of the skull at its 
base when he was thrown to the ground while reaching from the running 
board of the automobile to grasp the bridle of one of the runaway horses 
and missed his hold as the horse jumped away.
Removed to the home of his brother, George Mott, near the place where the 
accident happened several days ago, the injured man who regained conscious-
ness after forty hours and had been able to recognize members of his family 
at intervals, insisted upon being taken to his own home yesterday, after his 
brother was taken ill with pneumonia. Realizing that his chance of recovery 
was small, Mr. Mott expressed a wish to return to his own home and it was 
complied with. The end came at midnight, several hours after his arrival 
there.
Came Here As Boy 
Mr. Mott was 67 years of age, having been born at Beverly, Canada, April 5, 
1859, and came to Manitowoc as a boy, his parents settling on the farm which 
in later years decedent conducted and on which his death occurred. For eleven 
years after his marriage, Mr. Mott was located on a farm in Door county but 
returned to Mishicot years ago.
Besides his wife Mr. Mott is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Edward Drumm and 
Mrs. Morton Geraldson of Rapids, and two sons, Walter at Milwaukee and Harry 
at home. Two brothers, George, at Mishicot and Frank at Two Rivers and one 
sister, Mrs. Charles Flentje of Mishicot, also survive, with six grandchildren.
Mr. Mott was a great lover of horses and it was this love of his animals that 
cost his life. When the team started from the mill, Mr. Mott jumped on the 
running board of a passing auto to follow them and was thrown from his place 
as he reached to grasp the bridle of the near horse when the machine overtook 
the team, Mr. Mott fearing injury to the horses which, however, were not running 
fast. 
Funeral on Monday.
Funeral services will be held Monday afternoon from the home at Mishicot, The Rev. 
Schrieber will officiate.

FRED MUELLER

Wounded Manitowoc Police Officer Dies
Manitowoc, Wis.—(Special)— His thigh shattered when he was shot with his own 
gun in the hand of one of two strangers who attacked him early Sunday, June 12, 
Policeman Fred Mueller, 30, died as a result of the injuries at Holy Family 
hospital at 4 p. m., Tuesday.
He was the first Manitowoc policeman ever to be fatally injured in the line of
duty.
Mr. Mueller had submitted to two operations on his leg, and yesterday a third 
operation was performed. A silver plate was inserted in the shattered thigh bone. 
A few hours afterward he died, physicians stating it was due to weakened heart 
action resulting from a loss of blood at the time he was shot, together with the 
strain on his system caused by the three operations.
Suspicious Car
Working as a plain clothesman, Mr. Mueller had observed a strange automobile 
parked on York street near a gasoline filling station early on June 12. Two men 
were apparently asleep in the car as he passed. About an hour afterward, he 
returned and the car was still there. When he saw the automobile, a Ford touring 
car, the second time, he noted that it bore a Wisconsin license plate turned 
upside down. This increased a suspicion he had earlier formed that something was 
wrong, and he decided to investigate. Walking closer to the car, he saw a Kansas 
license plate on the floor behind the front seat.
Questions Strangers
Arousing the pair from their apparent slumbers, he began to question them. One 
of the men got out of the automobile for the pretended purpose of "stretching". 
He walked around the car and behind the officer, Mr. Mueller afterward stated, 
slugging him on the head with a blunt instrument.
The policeman fell to the pavement, and in his dazed condition, he reached for 
his revolver. He was overpowered by the pair, however, the second getting out 
of the car after Mr. Mueller had been knocked down, he said. One of the men 
wrenched the revolver from Mr. Mueller's hand, and shot him in the thigh. 
Leaving the wounded policeman on the pavement, the men jumped in their automobile 
and sped away. The officer's moaning and cries for help attracted attention of 
people in the neighborhood, and he was removed to Holy Family hospital.
Killers At Large
A description of the strangers was obtained, and was sent to police nnd sheriff's 
departments throughout the state. A suspect was taken into custody in Milwaukee, 
but was later released. Up to this time, no trace of the gunmen has been found.
The officer said the men were about twenty-six and twenty-seven years old, 
respectively, and they were both dark complexioned. He declared he believed they 
planned to rob the filling station.
Mr. Mueller was born in Manitowoc, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Mueller. He was 
married Oct. 28, 1931, to Miss Gertrude Franz, who with his parents, four brothers 
and five sisters, survive. He became a member of the Manitowoc police department 
on July 2, 1928. Before that he was employed in the Manitowoc shipyards.
Funeral services will be held at St. Paul's Catholic church in Manitowoc Friday 
morning.

GAIL WESTGATE NATHAN

Gail Westgate, born in Chicago, Illinois January 24, 1935 to Clyde and Viola 
Westgate, died February 14 in Shorewood, Minnesota after a sudden battle 
with intestinal cancer. 
Raised in Lincolnwood, Illinois, she attended Lincolnwood Elementary School 
and Niles Township High School in Skokie, Illinois. She majored in History at 
the University of Chicago graduating in 1956.
She is preceded in death by her former husband, Barry Nathan. The two were 
married in London, England in 1951. They had two children, Christopher and 
Adam, and five grandchildren, Nicholas, Oliver, Christopher, Daniel and 
Alannah. Though the two were divorced in 1978, their abiding friendship 
continued, fueled by their shared love of their children. Upon Bary's diagnosis 
with cancer in 1993, Gail move to Minnesota and took care of her former husband 
in his last months, an act of generosity that deeply moved Barry and her family 
both.
A Montessori pioneer and founder of the Princeton Montessori School, she later 
taught in Montessori schools in Oakland, California, River Falls, Wisconsin and 
Minneapolis, Minnesota. Her crowning professional achievement was the 
construction of the current Princeton Montessori School facility on Cherry 
Valley Road in Princeton, New Jersey. More lasting, however, was the impact 
that she had on almost forty years of elementary school children. Her love of 
children and belief in the Montessori Method were her professional gift to the 
world.
Gail lived in Bergamo, Italy where she received her Montessori teaching 
certification, traveled to Central America, Africa, Europe and most recently, 
China. Never was she more at home, though, than when she spent her summers 
in New Harbor, Maine. She thrilled to share her life there with friends, to open 
her home, share her marvelous harbor view, and take them for walks on 
Pemaquid Point. To know her was to know a free and fiery spirit and a generous 
heart. Gail was a devoted patron of the arts and film, and a lifelong student of 
civilization and literature. She delighted in the thriving arts community in 
St. Paul and was a familiar face (and voice!) to many.
When Gail Westgate signed up for this life, she checked all the boxes. She led 
a full happy life with great joys, some deep sorrows, and always remained a 
loving and supportive participant in this life. She will be deeply missed by her 
adoring family and her vast circle of friends who will be thankful for having 
known and been loved by her. Gail, Grandma, Mom, we will love and miss 
you always.
