RONALD E. GLAESER Ronald Edward Glaeser, age 70, of 1921 N. 27th Place, Sheboygan, passed away peacefully on Saturday evening, June 27, 2009, at Sunny Ridge Health and Rehabilitation Center, of complications from Parkinson's disease. Born Dec. 30, 1938, in Whitelaw, Manitowoc County, Ron was the son of the late Edgar and Bernice (Staudinger) Glaeser. On June 27, 1959, he was united in marriage to Judith Margaret Meyer at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Clarks Mills. Ron graduated from Valders High School in 1957, having earned twelve varsity letters as the captain of three sports and all-state recognition in football as a senior. He then enrolled at the University of Wisconsin on an athletic football scholarship to play for a Badger team that went to the Rose Bowl in 1960. He graduated in 1961 from Oshkosh State Teacher's College with a bachelor's degree in biology. Studying on a grant from the National Science Foundation, Ron received a master's degree in biology from the University of Michigan in 1965. Ron later served as an adjunct professor at the UW-Oshkosh. He furthered his studies doing post-graduate summer work at Indiana University, Eastern Illinois University, Bemidji State College, and the University of Wisconsin. Ron was a biology teacher in the Sheboygan Area School District for thirty-three years, first at Urban Junior High School and then at North High School for most of his career. Ron received the Senator Herb Kohl Educational Foundation Achievement Award in 1995. He also received the Wisconsin State Teacher of the Year Award from the Professional Society of Engineers in 1991. Ron was committed to the study of ecology. He taught classes in ecology and chaperoned students at the Trees for Tomorrow program in northern Wisconsin, and received a Presidential award for initiating a glass recycling program in 1971. Ron was instrumental in the planning of the reforestation of Sheboygan after the outbreak of Dutch elm disease in the early 1970s. Ron's commitment to teaching was profound. He spent countless hours preparing labs and lectures, and was proud to always be on the cutting edge of available lab technology for high school students. By the time Ron retired in 1995, his classes were performing genetic experiments using lab techniques that were available only to the most sophisticated research laboratories in the world just ten years earlier. Ron was always available to tutor students who needed extra help and he remains on many former students' list of favorite teachers. Ron was most proud of his former students who went on to become biology teachers, scientists, professors, nurses, dental hygienists, and physicians. Ron was known for his service and volunteer work. He was a past president of the Sheboygan Evening Lion's Club and the Wisconsin state chairman of the Elks National Foundation and was honored as a Founding Member of the organization. Ron was a Life Member of local Elks Lodge #299 and received the Wisconsin State Elk of the Year Award in 1995. He was president of the Sheboygan Education Association during 1967 and 1968. After his retirement, Ron enjoyed traveling to places near and far with his beloved wife Judy, often in search of their grandchildren, who were sometimes as far away as Japan. They also enjoyed golf and bike trips throughout the state with their friends. In his typical fashion, Ron organized two golf tournaments for his friends, the Greater Biology Open, and the Thorstein Veblen Open, both of which are still played annually in the summer. Ron will be remembered by all for his dedication to education, service, volunteerism, and to his friends and family. Most importantly, Ron will be remembered for being one of the really good people we all hopefully have the good fortune to encounter a few times in our lives. He will be deeply missed. Ron is survived by his loving children: Lisa (Antony) Joseph, Fleming Island, FL, and Scott (Jillian) Glaeser, Kohler; four grandchildren, Sebastien and Olliver Joseph, Fleming Island, FL; and Madison and Drew Glaeser, Kohler; a sister, Kathi Glaeser, Manitowoc; sisters-in-law, Barbara Glaeser, Fond du Lac, Elaine Rysticken, Manitowoc, Kathleen Weber, Mt. Calvary, and Mary Lou Simon, Adkins, TX; brother-in-law, Gary (Karen) Christiansen, Hot Springs, Ark.; nieces, nephews, and an extensive network of close friends. He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Judy; his parents; a sister, Judy Christiansen; a brother, Dennis; brothers-in-law Robert Rysticken, August Meyer, Robert Meyer, and Leroy Meyer; and sister-in-law Delores Piquette. A memorial Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on at 5 p.m. Tuesday, June 30, 2009, at Holy Name of Jesus Church, corner of Eighth and Huron Ave. The Rev. James Connell, pastor of Holy Name Church, will officiate. Family and friends are welcome at the church on at 3 p.m. Tuesday until the time of the Mass.

An effort will be made to save the arm and hand but even if it is successful the boy will probably have a stiff wrist. The accident happened yesterday, Mr. Gosz was cutting corn and his son was watching the proceeding. When the father turned to pick up some stalks to feed into the machine the boy placed his hand on the machine and it was drawn into the machine. The lad’s cries warned the father of the situation and the machine was stopped but not before the little fellow’s arm had been pulled into the machine nearly to the elbow. Dr. Cary of Reedsville who was summoned, attended the lad and he was removed to the hospital with the intention of amputation…illegible..but physicians have hopes…illegible…the hand and amputation was not undertaken.

EUGENE GOSZ 16 YEAR OLF BOY IS FOUND DEAD IN BED Eugene Gosz, 16, Quarry, Dies During Night; May Have Suffered Attack Eugene Gosz, 16 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Gosz of Quarry, was found dead in bed this morning when members of his immediate family went to wake him. His death was due to natural causes, Coroner W.G. Kemper declared after he had been summoned to the scene and conducted an investigation. The possibility had been advanced that the youth, an occasional sufferer from epileptic fits, suffered an attack during the night and was suffocated when he placed his head in the pillows. There was nothing for county officials to be concerned with in the death, Coroner Kemper said, as it was either one from natural causes or from an attack the boy suffered. Had Been Well The youth was under treatment by physicians for his ailment but was progressing well and had been in good health up until the time last seen. He had been playing baseball the day previous and had been active in the home up until the time he retired for the night. Besides his bereaved parents, the youth is survived by seven brothers and sisters. Funeral services will be held from the Berge undertaking parlors at Valders at 8:30 o'clock and from the Catholic church at Clarks Mills at 9 o'clock Saturday morning with Father Kheil officiating. Interment will take place at the church cemetery at Clarks Mills. This is the second misfortune to come to Edward Gosz in two month.

MARY ANN HARDGROVE Harry Goodhue, Told Girl is Dying, Ends Own Life with Shotgun HAD PACKAGE OF PARISH GREEN - MADE DEATH SURE Reedsville Youth, 28, Suicides When Told Girl He Loved Could Not Live - Sweetheart Dies an Hour Later Told that the girl he loved, had courted and hoped soon to wed could not survive an operation which she recently underwent and that death was imminent, Harry Goodhue, a Reedsville youth employed at Cato, committed suicide by firing the contents of a shotgun into his brain Thursday afternoon, death resulting instantly. The tragedy was followed an hour later by the death of his sweetheart, Mary Hardgrove of Cato. Goodhue, who was an employee of the Hardgrove farm and had been a member of the household for three years, had planned his suicide with deliberate intent, a fact evidenced by the presence of a quantity of paris green in a package, found at the side of the dead body. Goodhue fired the fatal shot in the granary on the farm and the body was discovered within a few seconds by a boy employed on the premises. The lad was at work near the granary when Goodhue entered the building and had been told by the unfortunate man to follow him into the granary in a few minutes. Hearing the shot, the lad sounded the alarm and with others removed the body. For three years, Goodhue, who was 28 years of age, had been employed on the Hardgrove farm and an attachment that it was planned would end in marriage in a short time existed between the youth and the daughter of his employer. Recently Miss Hardgrove was stricken with illness and physicians advised an operation as the only means of restoring her health. The operation was undertaken a few days ago and while apparently a success, the girl failed to rally and Thursday it was said that there was small hope for her recovery. Informed of the serious condition of his sweetheart, Goodhue became despondent and Friday morning, when it was announced that all hope of Miss Hardgrove's recovery had been abandoned and that death was a matter of few hours, the young man planned suicide, though he gave no intimation of his intention to friends and other employes of the farm. He visited a neighboring farm and from the owners, Menlik Brothers, requested the loan of a shotgun "to kill cats". Suspecting nothing, the weapon was given to him and Goodhue immediately returned to the Hardgrove farm and it was but a short time later that he made his way to the granary and there ended his life. Where Goodhue secured the paris green which was found with the body, is not known but it is presumed that the poison had been used as spray for the potato fields. Goodhue's parents are believed to reside near Reedsville, though this has not been definitely established, little being known at Cato as to his past life and family. Efforts were at once made to communicate with the family of the dead body to have them take charge of the remains and it is not probable that an inquest will be necessary, the facts in the case being well established. Goodhue, during his residence at the Hardgrove farm, was quiet, unassuming and his life had been exemplary. He was popular with his fellow employes on the farm and with a large circle of friends among young people of the vicinity and his tragic end proved a great shock. Goodhue was a son of William Goodhue, a well known resident of Reedsville and the boy's life had been passed in this county. Physicians who were summoned found death to have been instant from the gunshot and there was the evidence that Goodhue had also taken a small quantity of the paris green. Acting District Attorney Harry Kelley, who was notified in this city, decided that an inquest was unnecessary and the body was removed to the Hardgrove home and Vogelsang & Murphy, of this city, will have charge of the burial which will probably be held Monday. Miss Hardgrove, whose fatal illness is believed to have prompted Goodhue to end his life because of despondency over thought of her loss, was not informed of the death of the young man, her condition being so feeble that it was feared the shock would hasten her death. Miss Hardgrove was a daughter of George Hardgrove, a pioneer settler of the county and was 25 years of age.

DR. D.M.

While definite funeral arrangements have not as yet been completed, the body is to be brought to Clarks Mills for burial in the St. Mary Cemetery there. Born in 1873 on his parent’s Town of Cato farm, Dr. Laughlin was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Laughlin Sr. After attending high school in Manitowoc, he taught for a short time in the rural graded school at Four Corners and later was a member of the faculty at the old first ward high school in this city. Following his graduation from the Milwaukee medical school (now Marquette University), Dr. Laughlin began practice in that city where he had continued until his retirement about two years ago. For more than 35 years he had also been an instructor in the Marquette School of Medicine, lecturing in anatomy. He had continued in his duties at Marquette until his death. Dr. Laughlin, who never married, is survived only by a sister, Mrs. Eugene Garrott of Seattle, who is enroute to Milwaukee for the funeral services. A number of cousins in Manitowoc county and other parts of the state also survive.

Manitowoc Herald Times, Tuesday, February 1, 1949 P. 2 ******** Praise for Dr. Loughlin The current number of the Marquette Tribune, the official organ of the Marquette University has the following to say of Dr. D.M. Loughlin, a Cato boy who years ago was a teacher in the old First Ward high school in this city. “Dr. D. M. Loughlin, professor of anatomy at the Marquette Dental School and faculty member since 1912 was born in Manitowoc County. He received his early education in the public schools of Manitowoc and later attended Normal school and the University of Wisconsin, completiing his education at Marquette. “If teaching may be termed a hobby this title can be righteously claimed by Doctor Loughlin who has taught since he was 16 years of age. The high standard of his work as a professor has just recently been passed upon by the Carnegie Foundation through the directory, Doctor Gies. “Doctor Loughlin is a member of the Milwaukee County Medical and Wisconsin State Medical Societies. Fulfillment of his ambition to develop the good in his students has always been Doctor Loughlin's prime effort. As a practitioner his private practice is one of the largest on the northwest side.” Manitowoc Pilot - Thurs., Apr. 27, 1922
