ST. MICHAEL'S CATHOLIC CEMETERY OBITUARIES

AGNES SAUER

Agnes M. Wellner (sic) was born on July 22, 1919, at the home of her parents, George and Mary (Braun) Wellner in rural Whitelaw, WI. Agnes was the second youngest of 13 children. With her mother passing away when she was only 5 years old, Agnes was raised by her ?Pa? and older sisters. She attended and graduated from St. Michael?s Catholic Grade School.
During the war years, Agnes lived in Chicago and became a ?Rosie the Riveter? at Douglas Aircraft Company, coming home on many weekends by train to attend dances in the area. It was at one of these dances that she met her future husband, Louis. While living in Chicago, Mom became an avid Chicago Cubs fan, attending many games on the ?Thursday, Ladies Get in Free? Day.
When the war was over USCG Louis T. Sauer and Agnes married on January 5, 1946. Dad was stationed in Florida for their first three months of married life. Upon discharge from the Coast Guard, Louis and Agnes purchased a farm just north of Whitelaw and together they farmed and raised their six children: Billy, Donna, Jeff, Linda, Mike and Mary. Mom?s Catholic faith was very strong and she instilled that faith in her children. She also thought working hard was a good thing for her children. Many hours were spent doing farm chores and picking pickles. ?Farming is our bread and butter? she would often say.
Tragically, on May 28, 1966, at the age of 19, their first born, Bill died in an automobile accident while on leave from the Navy. Their other five children prospered, married and eventually 12 grandchildren came to be. Louie passed away on March 24, 1979. Mom continued living on the farm until 1995 when she moved to Whitelaw. After Louis died, she became very active helping out many neighbors and friends in need of a ride to church, shopping, doctor appointments or wherever they wanted to go. She especially enjoyed a good sheepshead game with her many friends. She was always there when one of her kids or grandkids needed a helping hand. On April 27, 2008, Mom?s youngest grandchild, Chrstopher Sauer, died in a motorcycle/car accident. He was 20 years old. 
Mom?s earthly life ended on July 26, 2011, at Harmony Assisted Living in Manitowoc. She is survived by one brother, Robert. Brothers and sisters preceding her in death are: Joe, Marie, Dorothy, George, John, Martha, Caroline, Rose, Gertrude, Regina and Bernard. She is survived by five children and their spouses; 11 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren with one more on the way: Donna and Terry Meulemans, Bill, Christine and Shelly; Jeff Sauer and his son Clay; Linda and Pat Brandel, Nathan and Adam; Mike and Barb Sauer, Jennifer, Jodi and David; Mary and Dick Meissner, Lexi and Kimberly. Mom enjoyed life to the fullest and always wanted to be helping somebody.

ALVIN SCHIESL WHITELAW YOUTH KILLED WHEN LOAD OVERTURNS SCHISEL FARM WAS SCENE OF TRAGIC MISHAP Load of Hay Overturns With Youth Striking Head And Fracturing Skull A fractured skull, sustained when the wagon loaded with hay which he was driving overturned at the entrance to his father?s farm, caused the death of Alvin Schisel, 15, at his home near Whitelaw at 7pm Monday. The accident occurred at about 2:30 pm. The wagon took the turn into the driveway of the Schisel farm too sharp and overturned. The youth jumped as he felt the wagon away but his knee caught on the wheel, so that his body turned and his head struck the ground. It was at first not believed that Schisel had sustained a fracture of the skull. His kneecap was severely lacerated and seven stitches were taken to close the wound. Some time after coming out of the ether he lapsed into unconsciousness and physicians learned that the skull was fractured and there was no hope for recovery. Had young Schisel jumped to the other side, the way the load fell, he would have escaped fatal injury, members of the family believe. They said he had been told to jump with the load but they believe when it actually happened he became excited and forgot his instructions. Schisel was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand Schisel who reside one and one half miles south of Whitelaw. He was born at Whitelaw, August 28, 1917 and attended St. Michael?s parochial school up to three years ago when he went to work on his father?s farm. Besides his parents he is survived by three brothers, Clarence of Wayside, Herbert and Orie at home, and four sisters, Marjorie, Mabel, Dorothy and Mary all at home. The body was removed to the residence from the Kochan funeral home this afternoon and the funeral will be held Thursday at 9am at St. Michael?s church. The Rev. Theodore Pufahl will officiate and burial will be in the adjoining cemetery. Manitowoc Herald Times, Tuesday July 18, 1933 p.2

The message intimated that there may be a mystery in the death of Schmatz, the dispatch giving no details except that Schmatz had been found dead. Whether the man was a victim of foul play, assault or died a natural death, is not known. Recent letters received from him said that he was enjoying good health and he was not known to be afflicted with heart trouble or other ailments that might cause sudden death. Schmatz, who was 24 years of age, left here on the U.S. steamer Surveyor several weeks ago, as an oiler. He was later sent to Newport News and had been located there for some time, employed on the Bulgaria. The dead youth was a son of Frank Schmatz, a well known farmer at Branch and up to the time of his departure on the Surveyor had made his home at Branch and in this city. Messages have been dispatched to Newport to have the body sent here and the funeral will be held at Whitelaw.

The little fellow?s cry was heard by the parents and hired help who rushed to his assistance as soon as they could reach the spot where the fatality occurred, but all efforts of resuscitation were in vain, as life was already extinct. It was the habit of the boy to sit on the edge of the tank and sail miniature ships on the water which at most times was but one or two feet in depth. On this occasion however, the tank had been recently filled preparatory to watering the stock, and the boy as was his wont, took his accustomed place and seemed oblivious to the danger. It is not known how he was precipitated into the water but it is thought he lost his equilibrium while reaching for his playthings and fell. The child was a bright little fellow and the pride of his parents who are frantic with grief, the mother especially taking it greatly to hear, refusing to be comforted.

LUDWIG F. VOGEL SUCKED UNDER BY SWIFT CURRENTS TWO DROWN; LOWER FALLS GEORGE GRIMM AND LOUIS VOGEL OF WHITELAW MEET DEATH AT BEGINNING OF DAY?S OUTING NEAR CLARKS MILLS SUNDAY FATHER KUHL AND PETER HARTLAUB TRY TO RESCUE; NEAR MEET SAME FATE A tragedy that has saddened the homes of two families at Whitelaw and the entire community there, occurred at Lower Falls on Sunday afternoon when Louis Vogel, aged 28, and Geo. Grimm, aged 19, were drowned while in swimming. The dip in the river was one of the day? pleasures anticipated by a crowd of Whitelaw young men who had come to the Falls for a day?s outing led by Father Kuhl, pastor of the Whitelaw church. The drowning was described by Father Kuhl this morning over the telephone who, almost prostrated by the tragedy, was unable to tell clearly just how it occurred. Father Kuhl said: ?I cannot really tell how it happened. It all came on suddenly. The two boys and myself had jumped in to the water preparatory to a swim and all of us were immediately sucked into a whirlpool. George is a swimmer and so am I and I really cannot tell how he came to get into the pool and unable to get out. The water is treacherous, it is true, but it seems he should have got to land unless he was caught in such a way that his lungs were filled and he could not rise to the surface.? ?Louis Vogel and I were with George and he grabbed us. George must have taken a firm hold of Louis who could not swim and the two went down together. The water was so swift and the eddies so strong that it was with difficulty that I got out of the hole. I was exhausted by my efforts and could render little assistance though Peter Hartlaub who was on shore, dove at the point where the two went down but it was too late.? ?The bodies were recovered almost immediately after they went down and attempts were made to resuscitate the poor fellows but it was of no avail. Their lungs had become filled and death had resulted from suffocation. They were taken to their homes at Whitelaw where sorrowful parents of the boys were prostrated by grief.? From another witness it was learned that Hartlaub who went to the rescue of the two young men nearly suffered their fate. He dove for Grimm who came to the surface long enough to cry out for help. The latter grabbed him and almost pulled him down. Hartlaub?s shirt was torn from his body by the drowning man. Hartlaub was forced to come ashore. Father Kuhl who assisted, was unable to do much because only recently he had an operation and his strength soon failed. Jos. Steuber, another of the men on shore secured a fish pole with this reached the point where the priest was struggling in the water and it is said but for his act there would have been a triple drowning. The drowning came almost at the beginning of what was to be a day of pleasurable outing. One account is that Grimm was the first to plunge into the water and when he got into difficulty the rest plunged in after. The place where the drowning occurred is well known as a treacherous place though not many drownings have happened in recent years there. There is a deep pool and rapids and the water swirls about in eddies that are strong and even a good swimmer might well get confused in the currents. It is said that at one point the water is nearly thirty feet deep. George Grimm is a son of Joseph Grimm who conducts a general merchandise store at Whitelaw. He was a student at Calvary seminary and was home for his vacation. Louis Vogel was unmarried, a son of Anton Vogel, a farmer and mill owner at Whitelaw. He was employed as a lineman by the telephone company. Whitelaw and the country thereabouts is overcast by a pall of sorrow over the drowning. Both young men were well known and the sympathy of the entire community is extended to the grief stricken parents. The double funeral will take place at 10am tomorrow and will be attended by the entire countryside. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Monday, July 12, 1915, Page 1 ************* WHITELAW AND VICINITY PAY TRIBUTE TO VICTIMS OF SUNDAY TRAGEDY IN LARGE FUNERAL Whitelaw and surrounding country today paid a last tribute to George Grimms and Louis Vogel, victims of Sunday?s river tragedy when hundreds attended what is said to have been the largest funeral ever held in that vicinity. The services were held for the two at Whitelaw Catholic church, attended by twenty priests of the county who assisted in the services. The two bodies, following the last rites at the cemetery, were interred in separate graves. The Rev. J.A. Geisler of Two Rivers was the celebrant of mass, with the Rev. Braun of Kellnersville as deacon and Rev. Theo. Kerstens of Meeme as sub-deacon, and Rev. J. Decker of St. Francis as the master of ceremonies. Rev. Mauruse O?Cap of Mt. Calvary said mass at the side altar while Rev. Joseph Roder of St. Paul was organist and Rev. A. Roder of Cleveland choir leader. The sermon was given by Re. A. Garhaus of Brillion. In the sanctuary were the Revs. Hieling, Clarks Mills; Kolar, Reedsville; Hugo, Two Rivers; O?Leary, Manitowoc; and Joseph Kubuik, Alfred Pritzel, Jas. Zomgracek and John Vesely. A profusion of beautiful flowers and the sincere and deep sorrow manifested by the large concourse attending the funeral was a tribute to the memory of the two young men.

WOLFGANG WEISS TWO MEN KILLED A terrible accident occurred at the railroad crossing just east of the Branch village on Saturday night last whereby two men were killed. The evening express which leaved here at 9 p.m. was running at the rate of about 30 miles per hour; when at the crossing mentioned the passengers experienced a slight shock but nothing more than is frequently experienced when the swaying of the cars bring the flange of the wheels violently against the rails. The short "toot" of the whistle was noticed that something unusual had happened and the stopping of the train before the depot was reached gave further notice that something was wrong. A number of passengers thought some signal of danger from the bridge caused the train to stop, but soon it was learned that a wagon had been struck at the crossing. About eight rods down the track from where the wagon was struck was found the body of a man with the hind wheels of the wagon across his legs, his scalp and the rear part of his skull torn off and his brains lying on the track. Even in this condition he was still breathing in short gasps. About 20 feet from him was another man, younger, unconscious but not dead. His skull was badly fractured and many of his bones broken. His muscles worked spasmodically, causing the broken bones to stick out through rents in his clothes and presenting a horrible spectacle. One of the horses was found on the side of the track with one of his legs almost completely severed. The track presented a horrible appearance with blood, brains, scalp locks and battered flesh. No one on the train could identify either man, but when the villages assembled it was learned that the man killed was Michael Wellner and the wounded man Wolfgang Weiss, the former a resident of South Franklin, the other of Pine Grove, Cato. Wellner had come to town with a load of cordwood and Weiss, who was working at the coal dock in this city was going home with him for a Sunday visit. The crossing mentioned is a bad one. It is quite hilly in the neighborhood and the track is in a ravine; the wagon track near the railroad is hidden from the view of the engineer until he is nigh on to it. The engineer, Thomas Gray, says he did not see the team until he was within fifty feet of the track and then they were on the gallop. When rushing by he saw the team on one side of the track and thought they had got safely by. He felt no shock, but from the position of the horses thought he must have struck the rear end of the wagon and so stopped the train. Three of the bars on the left side of the pilot were broken evidently where the hind wheels of the wagon had struck. The body of Wellner was left in charge of the Branch people, while Weiss was taken to the village of Cato where he might receive the care of a physician. John E. Hewitt took charge of the wounded man and made him as comfortable as the nature of his injuries would permit. Dr. O'Connell was summoned but the man died at 4 the next morning. Wellner was a married man about 45 years of age and had a family of eight children. Weiss was unmarried and about 22 years of age. Various theories are offered to account for the accident. Wellner always had a good team of horses and usually drove quite hard. Farmers are apt to take fearful chances at railroad crossing, whipping their horses into a gallop when a train is approaching and crossing when the locomotive is not 100 feet away. This was probably the case in this instance. Many say the whistle was not sounded. This is mere assumption. There was not a person on board the train who knew whether it was or not, and in any event a person on the road from Manitowoc going in the direction of the crossing could not fail to see the train long before it reached the wagon road, and in the stillness of the night could not fail to hear it. Certain it is the whistle was sounded after the Green Bay road was crossed and this was pretty good notice of the approach of a train. The engineer is one of the most careful on the road and it is pretty safe to say he did not neglect his duty. A person of ordinary prudence living within a few miles of the depot would know a train was due at that time and exercise care. It is unjust to the engineer to say the whistle was not sounded unless on positive knowledge, and there are people who state they heard it. Not one passenger in a hundred can state positively whether a whistle was sounded near a crossing or not. Mr. Gray feels sufficiently bad over the accident as it is, without adding to his responsibility by assuming without any ground of probability that he neglected his duty. Wellner was seen by people living on the road driving furiously when fully a quarter of a mile from the crossing and likely with the intention of getting to the crossing before the train, of whose approach he was cognizant. The accident is a deplorable one but it may prove a warning for reckless driving. The horse which had its leg broken was shot; the other horse escaped unhurt but was stripped completely of its harness except the collar. Manitowoc Pilot Thursday, July 26, 1888 pg. 3 ******** On Sat. evening Michael Wellner and Wolfgang Weiss, both residents of Town Cato, had been visiting here and were on their way home. Near Branch they were crossing the railroad tracks just as the evening train came along. The locomotive hit their wagon and threw them both to the side. Wellner died almost immediately, while Weiss lived a few hours before dying.

MICHAEL WELLNER TWO MEN KILLED A terrible accident occurred at the railroad crossing just east of the Branch village on Saturday night last whereby two men were killed. The evening express which leaved here at 9 p.m. was running at the rate of about 30 miles per hour; when at the crossing mentioned the passengers experienced a slight shock but nothing more than is frequently experienced when the swaying of the cars bring the flange of the wheels violently against the rails. The short "toot" of the whistle was noticed that something unusual had happened and the stopping of the train before the depot was reached gave further notice that something was wrong. A number of passengers thought some signal of danger from the bridge caused the train to stop, but soon it was learned that a wagon had been struck at the crossing. About eight rods down the track from where the wagon was struck was found the body of a man with the hind wheels of the wagon across his legs, his scalp and the rear part of his skull torn off and his brains lying on the track. Even in this condition he was still breathing in short gasps. About 20 feet from him was another man, younger, unconscious but not dead. His skull was badly fractured and many of his bones broken. His muscles worked spasmodically, causing the broken bones to stick out through rents in his clothes and presenting a horrible spectacle. One of the horses was found on the side of the track with one of his legs almost completely severed. The track presented a horrible appearance with blood, brains, scalp locks and battered flesh. No one on the train could identify either man, but when the villages assembled it was learned that the man killed was Michael Wellner and the wounded man Wolfgang Weiss, the former a resident of South Franklin, the other of Pine Grove, Cato.

THERESIA WITTMANN Mrs. Geo. Wittmann, wife of the postmaster in Whitelaw, died there Tuesday morning after a long illness at age 44. Der Nord Westen, 14 May 1908 ******* Several friends from this city attended the burial of Mrs. George Wittmann at Whitelaw Thursday. Mrs. Wittmann was 44 years of age and had been an invalid for several years. Two brothers, John and William are residents here and one sister, Mrs. Schneider, resides at Marshfield. Manitowoc Daily Herald - Fri., May 15, 1908 ******* (From the correspondent in Francis Creek, 17 May) A large number of local residents attended the funeral of Mrs. Wittmann in Whitelaw. Der Nord Westen, 21 May 1908 ******** FIND JAR OF GOLD HOARDED BY WOMAN DEAD FOR TEN YEARS Discovery in Former Wittman Home at Whitelaw Leads to Re-Opening of Estate of Late Deputy Sheriff Saving in time of prosperity against possibility of a ?rainy day? and as she said, to provide a fund from which burial expenses might be paid and a monument erected should occasion demand, Mrs. George Wittman, long time dead resident of Whitelaw who died ten years ago, secreted a fun of $330 in gold and paper money in a jar in the basement of her home there. For years the money was undiscovered until Friday when Mrs. John Heinzen, new owner of the property, found it while cleaning. This was revealed today when petition was filed in probate court for reopening the estate of the late Mr. Wittmann, who met death a year ago in an automobile accident near St. Nazianz while in discharge of his duties as deputy sheriff under ex Sheriff Joseph Kellner. The petition was filed by James Gary as administrator of the estate. Mr. Gary had recently filed his final accounting in the estate of Mr. Wittmann which represented a value of about $10,000 and was to have been given his discharge, when the discovery at Whitelaw of the hidden fund secreted by Mrs. Wittmann necessitated the reopening of the estate for settlement, to include distribution of the $330. Mrs. Wittmann died in May, 1919 (sic) ten years ago and the jar with its contents of gold and bills has remained untouched in the basement of the home all these years. Following the death of Mrs. Wittmann the store building and residence was occupied by Fred Hagenow who daily visited the basement where the jar stood. In the settlement of the estate of Mr. Wittmann the property at Whitelaw was disposed of, being purchased by Mr. Heinzen who took possession on April 1. At the time of the sale an auction of personal property was held and dozens of fruit jars, flower pots and other property in the basement was disposed of by Thomas Brennan, as auctioneer. In some manner the jar containing the money was not sold and was found Friday by Mrs. Heinzen while she was engaged in cleaning. When Mrs. Heinzen reported the find to her husband he immediately communicated with Mr. Gary who, however, desired to defer his visit to Whitelaw until later but Mr. Heinzen insisted that it was important that he come at once as he had a surprise. ?Have you found a pot of gold, enquired Mr. Gary to which Mr. Heinzen said that it was a jar of gold, surprising Mr. Gary in turn. Examination of the jar showed a total of $330 in money and a letter was found in the jar, written by Mrs. Wittmann in German in which she explained the purpose of the hidden savings and warned the finder if other than her husband that God?s wrath would fall upon them if the money was not turned over. The letter of Mrs. Witmmann, translated, is as follows. Whitelaw, Nov. 27, 1904: Dear Husband: I am herewith telling you the purpose of this money. I will not rest until the $200 is saved against the time when we might need it. We do not need it now, that you know. You sometimes spend your money carelessly and you have often remarked ?Why and for whom should we save. A man must have some pleasure? and that is correct. But now we must save so that when one of us will die, there will be enough put aside to pay the funeral expenses and a headstone. It might happen that we at death might not have any money. That is the reason I am laying this up. If I had had a servant, she would have received as wages, more than this. (If anyone finds this money without telling my husband, George Wittman and does not give it to him, this ? son will incur the wrath of God and a great responsibility to Him.) Your loving wife, Thresa Wittmann. Mrs. Wittmann started to save in 1904 and instead of placing the money in a bank, there be no institution at Whitelaw, secreted it in the basement where it was found. The goal of $200 which Mrs. Wittmann set for her ? was passed and it is possible that the fund would have been much larger had death not intervened to claim her. Mr. Wittmann maintained a fund of $50 in his safe at all times for emergency purposes and it is said Mrs. Wittmann kept watch of this fund to see that it was not depleted. Mr. Wittmann at that time, was postmaster at Whitelaw. The $330 in gold and paper money was in a salt bag secreted in the jar in the basement and the letter was found with the bag. The money was turned over to Mr. Gary by Mr. Heinzen and will be given into keeping of the court until orders for its disposal are made. The estate of Mr. Wittmann in which the $330 becomes a part, will be given to two sisters and to the seven children of a third sister, deceased, the estate being divided into three parts, one of the three parts being divided among seven children of the dead sister. The sisters are Mrs. J. Powell of Sawyer, Wis., and Mrs. George Grail? Of Marshfield. Mr. Gary will recommend to the heirs that a suitable reward be given to Mrs. Heinzen who found the hidden hoard.
