Manitowoc Herald Times - Friday, July 26, 1963 - page T3 ******** FARMER HAS HEAVY LOSS Fire wiped out the home of Joseph Manlick, a farmer residing three miles west of Clarks Mills, shortly after 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The loss is conservatively estimated at $7000 and is only partly covered by insurance. The fire, the origin of which is a mystery, was first discovered on the roof. Attempts to extinguish the flames proved futile. Fanned by a northeast wind the flames spread rapidly thru the entire house, making it impossible to save furniture and clothing. The house burned completely to the ground. Due to the fact that the wind was from the northeast, the large barns loaded with grain and valuable machinery were saved. The Valders fire department which arrived upon the scene assisted in confining the flames to the house. The house was a large structure. Besides Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Manlick and family, the building was occupied by Mr. Manlick's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Manlick. On Sunday morning, nothing remained of the once fine home but a mass of charred ruin.

EUGENE MCCARTHY Death in Cato Sun. of 21-yr. old Eugene McCarty of consumption. The funeral was Tues. morning in Clarks Mills. Der Nord Westen, 22 Aug. 1901 ******** Deaths of a Week: Eugene McCarty of Cato, died on Sunday. He was twenty years old. Manitowoc Pilot, Wis., Thursday, August 22, 1901 pg. 1 ******** Cato: Eugene McCarthy, a well known young man of this town died last week. Interment was in the Catholic cemetery at Clarks Mills, Tuesday. Manitowoc Pilot, Wis., Thursday, August 22, 1901 pg. 8 ******** CATO. On Sunday, Aug 18, Eugene McCarthy, aged 21 years, died at his home in Cato. Eugene was a young man of exemplary habits highly esteemed by all of his friends. Quiet, unobstructive, yet possessing those genial qualities that make and retain friends, he readily endeared himself to those with whom he associated. As a pupil the writer remembers him as an earnest, painstaking, conscientious worker and his subsequent career as teacher though brief, displayed the same qualities. He accepted the burden of self-sacrifice that the conscientious teacher must bear, deeming it a pleasure to be in a position to help others. A loving son and brothers (sic) , an earnest worker and a faithful friend, he is acknowledged to have been by all. The funeral services were held at Clarks Mills on Tuesday, Aug. 20. A line of carriages nearly a mile long bearing sorrowing friends to the last and sad rites was a fitting testimonial of the standing of the deceased in the community. The Catholic church could not accommodate the mourners. After the impressive Catholic burial services were over the corpse was borne to the cemetery preceded by the local branch of the C. K. of W. bearing its banner. As the choir sang the last sweet hymn, “Rest loved one, rest,” tears filled the eyes of many besides relatives. Words of sympathy cannot comfort the sorrowing parents, brothers, and sisters in their affliction, neither can despair claim them as victims. Faith and hope in an eternal future is a solace to them that nothing could replace. They “Look to see the breaking day across the mournful marble play” and in this trust the character of deceased bears them out. We mourn his untimely death but also wish that our careers, be they long or short, be as upright, our spirits as generous and our eyes undefiled as that of our deceased friend, Eugene McCarthy.

WILLIAM F. MCCULLEY William McCulley of Cato, a brakeman on the Northwestern RR, while at work at Underhill Station near Oconto Sat., slipped and fell under the wheels of a freight car severing his left leg and causing internal injuries which claimed his life 24 hrs. later, ending his severe pain. He leaves a widow, 3 children, and his parents. Der Nord Westen, 09 Nov. 1905 ******* DIES FROM HIS INJURIES William McCully (sic) Brakeman on the Ashland Division, Run Over and Fatally Injured Monday Night. RIGHT LEG CRUSHED TO A PULP. William McCully, a brakeman on the freight run on the Ashland division of the Northwestern railway, was run over and fatally injured Saturday afternoon (Nov. 4) at Underhill while attempting to board his train which was running at a high rate of speed. The train was preparing to leave the Underhill station and had backed up in order to ascend a steep grade. Mr. McCully was standing on the station platform talking to the agents and as his train was passing the station, running at a rapid rate, he jumped for a car but lost his hold and fell under the cars. The wheels passed over his right leg from the ankle to the hip, crushing it to a pulp. The train was immediately stopped and the injured man placed in the caboose, which was detached from the train and hurried to Oconto as quickly as possible. Arriving here he was taken to a private hospital of Mrs. Burke in the South ward. He suffered greatly from the shock, and failed to recover sufficiently to permit the amputation of his leg. He did the following morning at six o'clock, being conscious up to the last half hour of his life. The injured man was deprived a last farewell with his wife and parents. It was hoped he would live longer than he did as the doctors feared that a meeting with his relatives at any time during the few hours he survived the accident would have caused instant death. His parents had arrived in Oconto a short time after the accident and remained the entire night waiting for an opportunity to bid their son farewell. His wife is in a delicate condition, and it was for her own good as well as his that she was not summoned to his bedside. Deceased was about 25 years old, and had been employed on the Ashland division since last June. He was an exemplary young man, greatly admired by his acquaintances, a kind and loving husband and a dutiful son. He was married at Antigo, May 24 and besides his wife he leaves his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Mc Cully of Cato, four brothers and two sisters. Mr. McCully was a member of the Catholic Order of Foresters and the society took charge of the arrangements for the funeral. The society turned out in a body Sunday and, in spite of the fact that it was raining, accompanied the remains of their departed associate from the hospital on the South side to his late home on upper Main St. The body was taken to Cato, his former home, for burial Monday, accompanied by William Sullivan and Frank Trepanier as a delegation from the local court of the Catholic Order of Foresters, and a committee of railway men from this city consisting of Conductor Ben Bell, James Mulvaney and C. R. Hartley. Owing to her delicate condition, Mrs. McCully was unable to go to Cato to attend the funeral, which was held at that place Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock.-Oconto Enquirer. The Manitowoc Pilot, November 30, 1905
BELLE MCCULLY Mrs. McCully, 73, Badly Burned in Gas Blast, Dead Mrs. Belle McCully, 73, who was severely burned about the head, hands and legs when a gas explosion partially wrecked her home at 1022 South 16th Street, April 2, died Monday night at Holy Family Hospital where she had been confined since the tragedy.

ALICE J. MURPHY Miss Alice Murphy of this city, died last Saturday at Nampa, idaho, where she had lately gone in search of a more salubrious climate. Miss Murphy was a registered nurse and overdid herself in the performance of her duties during the influenza epidemic last fall. She contracted the disease and never recovered from its effects. Miss Murphy was born in the Town of Cato near Clarks Mills and spent her early years there on the farm of her father, the late Bernard Murphy. She was a graduate of Marinette Training School and the St. Joseph School of Nurses at Milwaukee. She is survived by her mother, four sisters, Misses Mary, Cora, Lillian and Elizabeth and four brothers, James, William, Leo and Roy. The first break in the youthful ranks of a large family brings bitter grief to a most fond mother and sorrow to the many, very many, friends whom the young woman had won by a character that endeared her to all who came into the sphere of her graces. She lived a wholesome, busy, unselfish life that leaves as its only regret its sad brevity. The funeral was held from the Sacred Heart Church today with interment at Clarks Mills. Her former pastor, Rev. J. T. O'Leary, now of Green Bay was present for the requiem mass. Manitowoc Pilot - Thurs., July 17, 1919

BERNARD MURPHY (d. 1905) DEATH TAKES BARNEY MURPHY Well Known Cato Farmer Finishes With Life Work Barney Murphy, member of the county board from Cato and well known farmer of that town, died Sunday, aged 61 years. Mr. Murphy had been ill for several weeks but only in the past few days had his condition caused alarm. Deceased is survived by a widow and nine children, five daughters and four sons. Mr. Murphy had served as a member of the county board many terms, being elected last spring over Peter Murphy. He was a member of the Catholic Knights of America and a man who had a large circle of friends to mourn his death. The funeral will be held at Clarks Mills Wednesday morning. Manitowoc Daily Herald Monday, October 23, 1905 pg. 1 ******** Death in Town Cato on Sun. of well-known 61-yr. old farmer Barney Murphy after an illness of several weeks. The deceased, who represented his town in the Council of County Supervisors, leaves a widow, 4 sons and 5 daughters. The funeral was held yesterday morning in Clarks Mills. Der Nord Westen, 26 Oct. 1905 ******** DIED: Sunday afternoon, October 22, at 3:30 o'clock, Bernard M. Murphy, chairman of the town of Cato, passed away at his farm home in the town mentioned, aged nearly sixty-two years. The decedent was taken ill August 19th and on the 30th of that month he went to the Milwaukee hospital, where he underwent an operation on his left ear, the location of the trouble being internal. He had been afflicted with a running sore of the ear ever since he was a boy of five, but since that time, and up to the time when his final illness started, he had enjoyed good health, the sore having occasioned him no suffering and but t little uneasiness. When five years old, he sustained a rather serious injury to his ear, for which he had to undergo an operation. This was not successful, but aggravated the injury to such an extent that for a time he hovered between life and death, and his recovery was almost despaired of. When he did recover, a running sore had formed in the parts surrounding the auditory canal, and with this he was afflicted for fifty-seven years and this it was that eventually occasioned his death. The operation he underwent in the Milwaukee hospital was pronounced a success, and a complete recovery was expected: for, during his first two weeks at the hospital after the operation his condition was steadily improving. But then a change for the worse set in; and, when he returned home on September 30th, his condition had become alarming. He then suffered continuous, excruciating pains until death mercifully came to his relief Sunday afternoon. The decedent was born in Ireland in 1833. When he was about ten years of age, he, together with his mother and one brother, came to America and located in New York city, where they remained for about three years, the father having come to this country several years earlier to provide a home for himself, wife and two children. On his arrival in America, he, father of Bernard M. Murphy, at once came to the town of Cato, this county, where he purchased 160 acres of land and immediately set to work to build a home, and in 1846 everything was in readiness and his family came from New York to join him at the new farm home. The decedent's brother met his death in the civil war in 1862 and his parents have been deceased for upwards of twenty-five years. Bernard M. Murphy was married in 1883 to Bridget Conrey, whom, with nine children, four boys and five girls, he leaves to mourn his demise. The children are: James, Will, Leo, Francis, Mayme, Alice, Cora, Lillian and Lizzie. None of the children are married, all residing as yet at the handsome farm home, except that the Misses Alice and Cora had of late been attending the teachers' training school at Marinette, to which institution they will return next week. Mr. Murphy was well and favorably known in the county and city. That he was held in very high esteem by his neighbors and acquaintances was clearly shown by the fact that, when he returned home from the Milwaukee hospital about four weeks ago, more than 100 friends met him at the depot. The funeral took place Wednesday forenoon from the house, thence to the Catholic church at Clarks Mills, of which church the decedent was a member. Rev. Gieling officiated, and all that was mortal of Bernard M. Murphy was placed at its final rest beside the graves of the parents of the departed. Mr. Murphy was a member of the Catholic Knights of Wisconsin, and was president of the Cato branch of the order during the past year and several times in former years. He was a successful farmer and owned one of the best farms in the county.

NATHAN J. NAIBERT, JR. Jilted Lover Expected To Be Charged In Stabbing Trucker Allegedly Killed Man Found With Ex-girlfriend Gannett Wisconsin Newspapers GREEN BAY — An over-the-road trucker from Green Bay returned home Wednesday and fatally stabbed the man he found in bed with his live-in ex-girlfriend, police said. Police allege that Michael Holz, 26, stabbed Nathan Naibert, 21, once in the chest, a wound that quickly turned fatal. While Holz's ex-girlfriend was on the phone with emergency dispatchers, Holz allegedly turned the knife on her, stabbing her in the back as she talked with 911 operators, said Green Bay police Capt. Greg Urban. The woman, who police refused to identify, retreated to the bedroom where Naibert lay mortally wounded and locked the door, Urban said. She told dispatchers that she thought Holz was still in the house and pleaded for help. Green Bay police responded about 5:40 a.m. and searched the house, but came up empty. Holz would call 911 about a half-hour later and tell dispatchers he was at Langlade and Locust street, where he waited for police. Officers found Holz sitting on the curb and arrested him without incident about 6:10 a.m., Urban said. Naibert, of Bellevue, died at an area hospital a short time after the attack. Urban said Holz's ex-girlfriend, 23, underwent surgery Wednesday and is expected to survive. Urban indicated she and Holz were no longer in a romantic relationship but were still living in the home as friends. Naibert was her new boyfriend, Urban said. Holz has no yet been charged with a crime, but remained in the Brown County Jail late Wednesday. Prosecutors were expected to file homicide charges against Holz today. He was expected to appear in court this afternoon. Police said Holz returned home from a trip, parked his semi in the Kmart parking lot, 1109 Lombardi Ave., and then drove his car to the Biemeret Street address, which he shared with the 21-year-old woman. "I think (Holz) suspected there was a relationship going on and his suspicions were confirmed this morning," Urban said.

Manitowoc Pilot, August 11, 1910 ******** ANGEL GUARDS GRAVE OF SON Martin Pischel Erects a Handsome Monument to Son at Clarks Mills JOHN KOUTNIK, THIS CITY, ERECTS Chiseled from the finest of Italian Marble and shipped direct from Italy, a life sized statue of an angel has been raised at the side of a handsome monument which has just been erected in Clarks Mills cemetery by Martin Pischel to mark the last resting place of his son, William Pischel, aged 20, whose death occurred recently. The monument which is one of the most elaborate and artistic ever erected in Manitowoc County burial grounds, has just been completed by John Koutnik, the So. Tenth street marble and granite dealer and is a subject of admiration of visitors to the cemetery at Clarks Mills. The monument which is of Barre granite is erected upon a base 8 x 4 1/2 feet and stands twelve feet in height. The state which stands six feet from base to top occupies a position to the left side of the shaft with a hand pointing to the marble tabled which bears an inscription, the name of the dead, dates of birth and death and other data. The figure is artistically draped, the finely artistic draping being one of the beauties of the work. The combined weight of the base shaft and statue is over nine tons and a force of half dozen men was employed for three days in erecting the monument which though of the same general character of the monument in this city, marking the grave of the Mrs. Henry Frisch, is larger and more massive. The monument is a beautiful work; a work of art and adds much to the beauty of the city of the dead which Clarks Mills maintains. The monument occupies a commanding position in the burial ground and attracts the admiration of all visitors. The monument is the second erected by Mr. Krainek who also had the contract for the Frisch work. The material and the statue was shipped to Valders, unloaded at that point and taken to Clarks Mills Cemetery by team. The statue, which stated, was shipped direct from Italy, was received in perfect condition. Manitowoc Daily Herald - Tues., May 23, 1911

MICHAEL PRITZL Michael Pritzl Notes From Cato: On Thursday night of last week Michael Pritzl departed from this world of work to begin life in the land that knows no pain. Mr. Pritzl had been troubled for some time with cancer of the stomach and the end was not unexpected. Born in Germany more than 60 years ago, Mr. Pritzl came to this country in the early seventies and settled on the farm that has since been his home. Beginning in the woods Mr. Pritzl literally chopped his way to success, and at the time of his death was considered one of the most prosperous farmers in the town of Cato. Mr. Pritzl and his wife, who was formerly Miss Kerner of the town of Rapids, and who still survives him, were the parents of eight children, six of whom are living. They are: Mrs. Anton Schambourick of Whitelaw, Mrs. Blanchus Reidera of Cato, Mrs. John Tuschel of Clarks Mills, Mrs. John Meyer of Greenwood and John and Kate, who are still at home. Loved and respected in life, Mr. Pritzl was taken to his final earthly resting place in St. Mary's Catholic cemetery at Clarks Mills on Monday, Jan. 9. One of the largest processions ever seen in the town paid him a last glowing tribute. The Brillion and Whitelaw Catholic Knights and the local order, of which Mr. Pritzl was a member were in the line which was a mile long. Mr. Pritzl was ever a staunch supporter of his church, a kind father and a good neighbor, and the sympathy of all are with the family who will miss him most. "Oh Lord," "Thy will, not mine be done."

ERVIN QUANTE Truck Rams Train, Valders Man Killed Cleveland (Special) - A Valders man was killed today when the truck in which he was riding skidded 160 feet into the side of a Chicago and Northwestern freight train. The victim, Ervin Quante, about 30, of R.1, Valders, died of a cerebral hemorrhage caused by a skull fracture. Quante was riding in a Lakeland Co-operative egg truck driven by Kennard Erickson, R.1, Valders, at the time of the accident. Erickson, hospitalized at Manitowoc with facial lacerations, and a possible arm fracture, told police he was talking with Quante and failed to see the train at the crossing until it was too late to stop. Dr. Theodore Teitgen, Manitowoc County coroner, said an inquest will be held. The driver's side of the truck, traveling east on County Trunk U through Newton, struck the train. It then was knocked into the ditch north of the road burying Quante under smashed egg crates. The victim started work with the co-operative Wednesday and was riding with Erickson to learn the egg route. Conductor of the north bound freight, C.A. Gratton of Green Bay, stated he was riding in the caboose and did not know of the accident until he saw the truck in the ditch. He then pulled the emergency brake. Thad Black, also of Green Bay, was the engineer. Ervin Quante moved to Valders from DePere a year ago and lived on a farm with his wife, the former Kathleen Frowley. The couple was married in DePere June 13, 1953. They have no children. Survivors are his wife, his parents, and a sister.
