A razor, which the dead man grasped in his hand, told the story of suicide. Mr. Happel was a man of nervous temperment and was at one time an inmate of an asylum, following a nervous breakdown. He remained at the institution for a short time, however, and was discharged as cured and had exhibited no signs of recurrence of his trouble. He was about the house as usual and was apparently in excellent spirits only a short time before the tragedy. He retired to his room and when he failed to return, members of the family became alarmed and the discovery of the body was made. Happel had slashed his throat with the razor and had inflected fatal injuries, death having resulted in a short time say physicians who examined the body. No sound was heard by the family. Mrs. Happel was prostrated by the tragedy. Mr. Happel was 52 years of age and for many years was engaged in business as a cattle buyer at Kiel. He resided with his family on a farm near the village and was credited with being well to do. A widow and two daughters survive to mourn his death. No inquest was held, the evidence of suicide being too clear to necessitate an inquiry. The funeral was held at Kiel. Manitowoc Daily Herald, June 4, 1913 page 8

ELMER KAMPER HORRIBLE ACCIDENT – In A Factory At Hilbert The Times received a special from its regular correspondent at Hilbert, on Thursday evening, telling of a sad accident that occurred in that village on Thursday afternoon, whereby Elmer Kemper (sic) a lad of fifteen years, was instantly killed and his body horribly mangled. The youth was at work in the saw mill of Theo. Orphal when an explosion took place and the jointer, near where Kemper was at work burst, killing him instantly. His head was torn from the body and a portion of his brain found across the street at a neighbor’s house. His body was scattered about the mill. The accident is the worst that ever took place in the history of the village and every one is sad and down hearted in consequence. What caused the explosion perhaps will never be known. An inquest was held after which the remains were gathered together and taken to H. Eberhardt’s undertaking establishment. Elmer was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Kemper. He was an industrious boy beloved by all and the heartfelt sympathy of the community goes out to the parents, so suddenly and terribly bereft. Fred Ecke another employee was painfully, gut not fatally injured, one ear being partially torn off by the force with which he was thrown against a pile of bolts. He was also struck in the right hip by a piece of iron inflicting a severe flesh wound. Chilton Times – May 18, 1901 ********* Hilbert – The funeral of Elmer Kemper, the victim of the fatal accident which occurred at Theo. Orphal’s mill last Thursday, took place Friday afternoon at the residence of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Kemper. Services were conducted by Rev. W. A. Arpke, of Chilton. The remains were taken to Rockville for interment. Besides the pallbearers, who were John Risse, Peter Kripp, Adolph Olander, Peter Dix and Will Welker of this place and Wm. Seibel, of Brant, those who accompanied the remains to the place of burial were; Barney Jouno and Will Johnson of Collins; Sam Jouno of Hayton; Mr. and Mrs. Theo. Orphal and Mrs. Seibel of Hilbert. Elmer Kemper, only son of Andrew and Jennie Kemper, was born at Bancroft, Iowa, January 1, 1886. He came with his parents to Hilbert in 1893, where, with them, he has since resided. A bright, young life and one which gave promise of future usefulness has gone out and left grief-sticken hearts to mourn the loss of a well-beloved son and brother. Chilton Times – May 25, 1901
