WENZEL RAPPEL

On Mon. afternoon Wenzel Rappel and Frank Wilhelm, both farmers in
Cato, sought to take some logs in the Manitowoc River to Clarks Mills and got into a
small boat. The boat overturned and both went into the water. The pastor of the
Catholic Church in Clarks Mills, saw the accident and called for help which was
answered by Mr. Ira Clark. Unfortunately it was too late - Rappel was already
drowned. Wilhelm had turned totally blue, but was revived. Rappel was 42
years old and leaves a wife and eight children. One daughter is married, but the
youngest is only five.

DROWNED
A sad accident happened near Clarks Mills on Monday of last week. While 
Wenzel Rappel and another man were out boating, the skiff in which they 
were, suddenly careened. Mr. Rappel started to swim to the shore, and had 
proceeded part of the way, when he seemed to have changed his mind and 
tried to return to the boat, to which the other man was clinging. But his 
strength gave out before he could reach the boat, and he sank. Immediate 
search for his body was made and it was found in the evening. 
Mr. Rappel was a well known farmer, whose industry and economy, accumulated 
considerable of this world's goods. Enough, at least, to ensure a sufficiency 
to a wife and eight children, who now mourn the loss of a loving husband and 
father.

Clarks Mills News:
Mr. Wenzel Rapple aged forty-two was drowned yesterday about 
four o'clock p.m. in the Manitowoc River at Clarks Mills.  Mr. F. 
Williams had a narrow escape from drowning at the same time, he 
was in a skiff for the purpose of getting a log to the mill.  Mr. Rapple 
accompanied him only for the pleasure of the ride, only two persons 
witnessed the terrible accident and gave the alarm, but nobody who 
could swim arrived in time to save Mr. Rapple.  Mr. Williams clung 
to the end of a log until Mr. Ira Clark swam out to the boat, hauled 
it into the shore, righted it, jumped in and with the assistance of Mr. 
Cooper, removed him and brought up the body of Mr. Rapple.  It was 
taken to the priest's house and friends worked faithfully to restore him 
but in vain.
Mr. Rapple was a mass of wealth, and a good kind man who stood high 
in the respect and love of the community. His death will cast a gloom 
over a large circle of friends who deeply sympathize with his afflicted 
family.
This sad event should deeply impress the fact, that it is every man's 
duty to practice swimming until he is a strong swimmer enough to save 
life in the water.  There were perhaps twenty people on the bank within 
a minute or two of the accident, but they could not swim.

LOSES LEG HUNTING
A rabbit hunt in Cato resulted in the loss of a leg to John Riederer, aged 17 of Cato, last Monday. The body was one of a party of seven who were out gunning. The charge of his gun shattered his leg. No one saw how it happened. The boy's story is that he dropped his gun in climbing over a log and that, although the hammer was at safety, the piece discharged. He was rushed to the hospital, after first aid was administered and it was found necessary to amputate just below the knee.

********
Notes from Cato:
John Riederer, son of Blasius Riederer, while hunting last Sunday had the misfortune of having his left leg shot off by an accidental discharge of his gun. John, with a number of companions, was out on a hunting trip and in some manner he dropped his gun, the shop entering just above the calf of the leg. Dr. Kelley was called and he was rushed to the hospital where it was found necessary to amputate the leg below the knee. The unfortunate boy has been used to carrying firearms since a child but it's one of these accidents we never know when to expect and is a lesson to all in the danger of firearms.

for feeding purposes and Mr. Riederer was thrown onto this and forced into the corner 
by the bull which continued to attack with its head and hoofs, inflicting fatal injuries 
to the aged man.
Son Drives Bull Off
Hearing the cries of his father, Mr. Riederer's son rushed to his rescue and securing 
a shot gun fired four times at the bull before the animal was driven from the attack, 
and his father was able to crawl to the barn where he died within a few minutes before 
medical aid could be summoned. Internal injuries was the cause of death. Mr. Riederer 
having been terribly bruised by the animal.
Was Pioneer Settler
Mr. Riederer was a pioneer settler of Manitowoc county and widely known in the 
community where he had made his home for many years. He retired from active 
management of the farm some time ago and with his wife, made his home with his son. 
He was robust, despite his age, and assisted with the chores on the farm and this 
morning had undertaken to bring the bull from the pasture. The animal had never been 
especially vicious.

EUGENE SCHUH

GRIMMS LAD DIES OF RIFLE WOUND
Eugene Schuh Shot While Boys Played “Target” With Deadly Gun
BROTHER HANDLED GUN
Game Played Many Times Proves Fatal When Rifle Explodes
A nine-year-old Grimms boy was fatally shot at his home in the village Sunday with a 
rifle in the hands of an older brother as the two played a game called “hit the target”.
The dead boy is Eugene Schuh, son of Ralph Schuh, Grimms.  Shot through the head 
with a rifle believed to be unloaded by Bernard, 9, a brother, he was brought to the 
hospital here where he died on the operating table two hours later.
According to the stories told to Dr. Gerald Rau, county coroner, by the Schuh children, 
the game that ended fatally Sunday had been played by them many times before with 
a .22 caliber rifle that hung from a wall above the kitchen door.  The children said 
that they would chase about the house with one holding the gun and the others shouting 
“hit the target”.
Through Brain
Sunday morning, with the guns in the hands of Bernard Schuh, the game was continued 
but this time as the boy pulled the trigger of the rifle there was a report and Eugene 
Schuh crumpled to the floor—shot through the right temple.  The bullet plowed through 
the brain and lodged beneath the skin on the opposite side of the head.
Dr. J.M. Kelley of Cato removed the Schuh boy to the hospital here for an emergency 
operation but he died on the operating table at 11:30 a.m.
Dr. Rau, after an investigation, decided that it was an accidental death and said there 
would be no inquest.
The accident happened shortly before the arrival of Ralph Schuh, the father, from 
Green Bay, where he is employed.
Mother Dead
Mrs. Schuh died a short time ago.  The father, formerly employed at the limekilns, 
continued to make his home at Grimms, although working at Green Bay.
Ralph Fr., an older brother, is sick in bed and is being cared for by his sisters.
Survivors are the father, two brothers, Bernard and Ralph Fr. And two sisters, 
Leona and Ruth.
The body was removed to the Shimon undertaking parlors at Reedsville.  Funeral 
services will be held Wednesday morning from the St. Mary's Catholic church at 
Clarks Mills.

JOSEPH G. SCHUH (d. 1945)

SECOND SON OF JOSEPH SCHUHS A WAR CASUALTY
A second son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph P. Schuh, route 1, Cato, was listed as a war 
casualty today, according to  a war department message.  T/4 Joseph G. Schuh, 24, 
died in Germany on Oct. 1 as the result of injuries incurred in an accident, the department 
advised the parents on Wednesday.  His brother, Pfc. Nicholas B. Schuh, was with a 
mechanized infantry unit of the American army in Italy when he gave his life in military 
combat in 1944.
Sgt. Schuh, wearer of five battle stars, had only recently been transferred back to 
German territory from Reims, France.  He was anticipating orders to return to his 
home, for he had accumulated 80 points.
A mechanic in a First army division, Schuh landed in France shortly after the Normandy 
invasion, and had participated in the battle of the Bulge.
He was born in Cato on Nov. 24, 1920, and attended the St. Patrick and St. Mary's 
parochial schools in Maple Grove and Clarks Mills respectively.  Prior to his induction 
into the armed forces Oct. 10, 1942, he was a mechanic at the Larson garage in Valders.  
Schuh had his basic training at Fort Sill, Okla., and was at Camp Livingston, La., before 
embarking for England in January, 1944.
He leaves his parents, four sisters, Helen of Manitowoc; Dorothy, Georgiana, and 
Veronica, and three brothers, Pvt. Norbert, now stationed at Camp Joesph Robinson, 
Little Rock, Ark., for basic training, Sebastian and William, at home.
A mass in his memory will be offered at 8:30 o'clock Monday morning in St. Mary's 
church at Clarks Mills by the Rev. Michael Fetko.

PARENTS LEARN OF SONS DEATH
Letters from Lt. John T. Lampila Jr., commanding officer of the 914th ordnance heavy 
automotive maintenance company and Chaplain Henry J. Palmer with the 52nd ordnance 
group have been received by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Schuh, route 1, Cato, giving them 
particulars on how their son, T/4 Joseph G. Schuh was killed in Esslingen, Germany 
on Oct. 1.
According to Lt. Lampila, Schuh was working in the automotive shop of the company 
when he was fatally injured in an automobile accident and his death was instantaneous.  
He is the second son of the couple to have died in military service.
Chaplain Palmer conducted a requiem high mass in the Catholic church at Esslingen, 
on Oct. 3, and the entire organization attended the service and military funeral.  The 
body was then taken to St. Avold, France for burial in a U.S. Military cemetery.
Pictures of the funeral service taken by a member of the organization were forwarded 
to Schuh's parents.
Chaplain Palmer wrote:
“During the war I had to write many letters to mothers and fathers and wives of men 
who would not return to their homes.  This letter is the heaviest task yet.  I know what 
joy must have been yours when the war ended and you knew that Joseph was safe and 
that he would soon come home to you.  The strength of that joy now makes you grief 
all the deeper when the war department informed you that your son had met his death 
in an accident.”

CLEMENT AND VICTOR TUSCHL
 
RIVER CLAIMS TWO AT CLARKS MILLS
Third Boy Imperiled By Thin Ice Saved By Heroic Children
Two Brothers Go To Death While Rescuer Escapes Through the Heroism
of Boys 10 and 6, Saturday
Two Clarks Mills boys, Clement and Victor Tuschl aged 14 and 12, sons of
Mr. and Mrs. John Tuschl, are dead today, victims of the season's first
drowning accident in Manitowoc county late Saturday afternoon when the
two, skating on the river, crashed through the ice and despite heroic
efforts for their rescue, went to their death. The bodies were recovered
two hours after the accident and tomorrow a double funeral will be held
from the Tuschl home to St. Mary's church, with services at 9:30, the
Rev. Geiling officiating. The bodies of the two unfortunate boys will 
rest in the same grave.
Walter Tuschl, a cousin of the two boys, came near to being a third
victim of the river when he attempted to rescue Victor Tuschl and was
overcome. The heroism of Joseph Tuschl, 10 and George, aged 6, brothers
of the dead boys, saved him and the story of the heroic work of the two
young lads is today recounted by the villagers in terms of high praise. 
The two younger boys also made a hard fight to save Victor Tuschl but
without avail.
Denk Helps in Rescue
John Denk, a farmer whose home is a short distance from the river, assisted
in the rescue of Walter Tuschl and in an attempt to aid Victor, one of the
unfortunate victims. Mr. Denk attracted to the scene by the cries of the 
boys battling for life in the icy waters, rushed to the river with a rope
and attempted to cross the ice to reach the boys who were in the water. The
thin coating of ice swayed under his weight, however, and realizing the
danger of himself being trapped, Denk threw the rope to Walter Tuschl who 
was nearer the boys and the latter endeavored to throw it to Victor, one
of the lads in the river, when the ice gave way under him and he was plunged
into the river to be rescued by the two younger lads, with Mr. Denk's
assistance.
Death Ends Play
The five boys had been playing on the ice and had been throwing stones and
then racing to see who could recover the missle(sic) first. Victor and
Clement jumped for the stone at the same time and their combined weight
caused the ice to give way under them and they were thrown into the water.
Clement, the older of the two boys, was caught under the ice as he came up
and despite the fact that he was a good swimmer, was unable to free himself
and went down to his death. Victor made a supreme effort to save himself
after he came to the surface but realized his danger, shouted to his cousin
Walter, who was on shore, to come to his aid. The latter, unable to swim,
secured a piece of rope and made his way over the ice and threw the rope to
his cousin who succeeded in grasping it and had been pulled almost to safety
when the ice broke and carried Walter into the water beside the other lad.
Mr. Denk, who appeared on the scene and threw the rope he carried to Walter
and the two younger lads at risk of their own lives, assisted in getting him
to safety.
Tragedy Cast Pall Over Village
Both of the drowned boys were fine specimens of young boyhood and were
excellent swimmers but the cold probably numbed them and made it impossible
to battle against the odds especially in case of Clement who was caught
under the ice as he came up after being plunged into the river. The two
victims were members of a family of eleven children, other children being
Marcus, Roman, John Jr., Anton, Leon, George, Joseph, Fern and Agnes. The
parents also survive.
The tragedy has cast a pall of gloom over the village and widespread sympathy
goes out to the family. The home is near the river and the children made the
bank of the water their playground. Both of the dead boys were popular with
the young people of the village and their tragedy which snuffed out their 
lives is widely felt.
The tragedy is the first due to ice and river in the county this season and
while its toll is to be deplored it will serve as a warning to children to be
cautious in venturing on the river when the ice is thin.

FIRE AT CLARKS MILLS
The building of John Tuisl at Clarks Mills occupied as saloon, store and residence by Mr. Tuisl and a part of it occupied as a residence by Harold Morgan was totally destroyed by fire Monday. The fire started about 10:30 in the morning and had such a headway when the Valders and Whitelaw fire companies arrived, the best that could be done was to save other structures nearby.
The Valders department laid a line of hose 600 feet to the Manitowoc river and all the firemen toiled to save the building but in vain, so far as the Tuisl structure was concerned.
The building was a large frame structure that was built in the early days of the village, once a center for a large agricultural section. Mr. Tuisl put his loss at $10,000. The insurance is said to be only a minor fraction of the loss. This is the second disastrous fire in the village within a year.

FRANK VOGEL

ONE CHANCE FOR LIFE FAILED
Frank Vogel, Clarks Mills Youth, Dead at Hospital Here
One chance for life—that of an operation—taken by Frank Vogel, a 
well known Clarks Mills youth, failed and death resulted at the Holy 
Family hospital in this city early this morning. The boy, 20 years of 
age, was a son of John Vogel and had been employed on a farm in Cato. 
Early in the week he was stricken with illness which was pronounced 
appendicitis and the only hope of saving life was in an operation and 
he was brought here Wednesday. The operation was performed Thursday

the patient became alarming and within a few hours death resulted. 
Vogel was a bright young man and was well and favorably known in his

JOSEPH WILHELM

EMPLOYEE OF RAPPEL CO. KILLED IN NINE FOOT FALL
MEETS DEATH IN FALL IN SHAFT OF ELEVATOR
Fatal Accident at Rappel Warehouse Early Today
Joseph J. Wilhelm, shipping clerk for the J.F. Rappel Wholesale grocery 
company at their Fifteenth street warehouse, was instantly killed in a fall down 
the elevator shaft at about 8 o'clock this morning. No one witnessed the 
accident and Wilhelm's body was discovered in the elevator pit in the basement 
when search was made for him after he had been missed. His skull had been 
crushed by the fall and death was probably instantaneous. County Coroner 
Dr. W.G. Kemper was called and held that no inquest was necessary, that 
death was due to an accident.
Find body In Pit
Wilhelm, who is a brother-in-law of J.F. Rappel, had been employed by the 
firm since it's organization and had been in the employe of Mr. Rappel twenty 
years ago. When the company here was re-organized a short time ago following 
bankruptcy proceedings, he continued in his position as shipping clerk and this 
morning appeared for work as usual at 7 o'clock. Shortly after 8 o'clock he was 
missed and search was made for him around the outside of the building and in the 
second floor. His body was found in the basement, in the elevator pit, in a pool 
of blood, the head crushed.
No one saw the accident but it is believed that Wilhelm raised the guard gate on 
the first floor and stepped into the open elevtor shaft when he thought he was 
stepping on the platform of the elevator which had been there a moment before. 
The fall to the basement is only nine feet but Wilhelm struck on his head on the 
concrete floor. Indications are that he struck the edge of the elevator pit. He had 
been dead for sometime when found. He was last seen working about the first 
floor at his regular duties and an inquiry from the office led to the discovery that 
he was missing.
Born In Cato
Mr. Wilhelm was born in the Town of Cato on a farm two and one half miles 
west of Clark's Mills. He received his education in the rural schools and grew to 
manhood in (sic) the old farm. He learned the cheesemaking business and for a 
time was employed by J.F. Rappel, later engaging in business for himeself at Alverno 
where he conducted a factory for twelve years. Twenty years ago he was married to 
Miss Barbara Rappel and four years ago when the wholesale grocery company was 
organized the family moved to this city, taking up their home on Clark street. Besides 
the widow, three brothers, Charles of Clark's Mills, John of Sioux City Iowa and 
Peter of Marshfield and two sisters, Mrs. William Steiner of Hilbert and Mrs. Conrad 
Schoblaski of Oshkosh.
The funeral will be held Friday morning at 9:30 with services at the St. Mary's Catholic 
church at Clark's Mills, the Rev. Geiling officiating. Burial will be at the Clark's Mills

will be held Friday morning.
