The marriage was solemnized at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Pankratz; and the wedding celebration was quite an elaborate affair.

Mr. Bleser, the bereaved husband, is a son of William Bleser of Four Corners. During the past two years he has been in the employ of a mining concern at Cripple Creek, Colorado, in the capacity of a civil engineer. He returned to Cato a little more than three weeks ago to be married to her whom he had been engaged to for a number of years. On October 11th, the day after their marriage, the couple departed for Chicago, where they remained until Monday, October 23, when they set out on their journey to the new home the groom had provided for their occupancy.

LOUIS BREY DIED ON HIS BIRTHDAY Thirtieth Anniversary of Birth of Louis Brey Was Day of His Death SMALLPOX PROVES FATAL Well Known Young Man of Branch, Third in County to Succumb to Dread Disease On the day that marked the thirtieth anniversary of his birth to life, Louis Brey, a well known young man at Branch was summoned to cease from earthly existence and yielded to death after a struggle against disease that had continued two weeks. Mr. Brey suffered from smallpox of malignant type and is the third Manitowoc county resident to succumb to the dread agency. The disease fastened on the patient two weeks ago and developed in its most virile form, that of black pox. Constant medical attendance and every effort was exerted, but Saturday it became apparent that mortal aid would prove unavailing and at 3 o’clock Sunday morning, the end came. Under cover of night in the little cemetery at Whitelaw in the town of Cato Sunday, unattended by the ceremonies that usually characterize the burial of the dead, and with no relative present to assist in the last rites, the remains of Louis Brey were laid to rest. The burial under these circumstances was made necessary by the provisions of law which requires that the body of a person deceased of contagious disease be buried within twenty four hours of the time of death and at hours between 9 at night and 5 in the morning and that no person whose services are not necessary to the burial of the remains be in attendance. Louis Brey was born in this city April 13, 1872 and had been a resident of the county his entire life. He attended the local schools and at maturity engaged in farming at Branch. In 1896 he was married and three children, all of whom with the wife survive, were born to the union. He was a young man well thought of in the community and had a large circle of friends who will learn of his untimely end with a deep regret. Besides wife and children, three brothers and five sisters also survive.

EDWIN FISCHER EDWIN FISCHER, DRAY LINE OPERATOR HERE, IS DROWNING VICTIM Goes Under While Swimming In River; Body Recovered This Morning Edwin A. Fischer, 38, dray line operator in this city for 14 years, drowned shortly before 7 o'clock Thursday evening in the Manitowoc River northwest of the west end of Waldo Boulevard. The body was found about 8 o'clock this morning by Sheriff Elmer Bergner, Edgar Knutson and Frederick Grapentine, the latter two employes of Fischer about 1,000 feet downstream from the point where Fischer was last seen. Attempts to locate the body were continued for over four and one-half hours Thursday evening and resumed by the sheriff at 6 o'clock this morning. Fischer, accompanied by his 15 year old nephew, Cameron Lequa, of 731 N. Eighth street, and a friend, Frank Jiminez of 605 York street, a former member of the U.S. Coast Guard, went to the river for a swim shortly after 5:30 o'clock Thursday. They drove out in a light pick-up truck owned by Fischer which was parked at the John Sundt farm just off Highway 141. Strong Undercurrent Lequa and Jiminez swam across the river channel which was swollen to twice its normal depth by the torrential rains of early Thursday. A strong undercurrent made swimming difficult and Fischer, who was last in the water, called to the others and said he was exhausted and couldn't make it. At that time he was about 10 feet from the bank. Lequa, according to Dr. Theodore Teitgen, county coroner, reached out and grasped his uncles arm. Both went under the water and Lequa swam to the shore, at the same time trying to keep hold of Fischer. Jiminez also went into the water and took hold of Fischer, grasping a bush with the other hand but the bush gave way, and he lost his hold on Fischer, he told the coroner. Fischer turned over on his back, apparently attempting to keep afloat and called for help. The current pulled him under and Fischer's companions did not see him again. Jiminez swam across the river, ran to the Sundt farm and asked that help be called. Miss Minnie Sundt called the sheriff's office and the sheriff in turn notified Coroner Teitgen. A number of youths fishing for crabs in the river heard the shouts of Jiminez and Lequa. They jumped on their bicycles, rode home and called for assistance. In this group were Dan Yelene, Paul and Ervin Thiesen, Bobby Levendusky and Jack Wollman, all residing in the vicinity of 22nd street and LaFollette avenue. Coast Guard Called The water was between eight and nine feet at the point where Fischer drowned. The Two Rivers coast guard assisted the sheriff, coroner and deputies in efforts to find the body last night. Wire fencing was stretched across the stream at a point below Pierce's bridge in an effort to prevent the body from floating downstream but the current was so great that the plan had to be abandoned. Fish netting was obtained from Conservation Warden Herb Vander Bloemen and used in the same manner. Meanwhile, several different boats were pressed into use in dragging operations, including a Coast Guard crew, another boat provided by County Highway Officer Clarence Meihsner and a boat borrowed by the sheriff. Assisting were County Highway Officers William Ladwig and Henry Pleuss and Deputy William Henschel. The sheriff, Grapentine and Knutson started out at 6 o'clock this morning at the point where Fischer was last seen and floated down stream using grappling hooks. The body was sighted in a small offshoot of the river proper, tangled in willows. The water was about three feet deep in this small stream. The body was floating face down. Funeral Saturday Mr. Fischer was born in Whitelaw in 1904, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Pius Fischer and spent his early life in that place. Twenty years ago he moved to this city and 14 years ago engaged in the draying and trucking business. He headed the Fischer Truck Lines, which has an office at 823 South 13th street. For the past three years he has made his home with a sister, Mrs. Lilliam Lequa of 731 North Eighth street. Survivors are his mother, Mrs. Pius Fischer of Whitelaw; three sisters, Mrs. Lequa of this city, Mrs. Irving Winter of New York city, Eleanor of Whitelaw; two brothers, Charles and George of Whitelaw. Funeral services will be held Saturday at 8:45 a.m. from the Pfeffer funeral home, the Rev. Louis Schorn of the Sacred Heart church officiating.
