Mrs. E. Lahey Passes Away
Mrs. E. Lahey, an old and esteemed resident of this city, died at 
her home in the northern part of the city at 3 o'clock last Sunday

death caused her intense pain. She was born June 12, 1848 on

Ann Williamson. She came to this country and to Manitowoc when she 
was between 7 and 8 years of age. In 1858 her parents settled in 
the Town of Two Creeks where she resided until she was married to 
Mr. E. Lahey at the age of 22 years. She then went to Menominee, 
Michigan, to reside where she remained several years where she, by 
force of circumstances, became a professional nurse. From Menominee 
she came to this city some twenty-five years ago and lived here up 
to the time of her death. Her husband has been an inmate of the 
Milwaukee Soldier's home and a helpless cripple for many years. She 
leaves five sons and two daughters, all of whom are grown except the 
youngest daughter. They are Daniel, Edward, Peter and George of this

DANIEL LAHEY

CAPTAIN LAHEY, 84, RETIRED SHIP MASTER, IS DEAD
Two Rivers - Capt. Dan Lahey, 84, of 2119 Jackson St., retired master 
of a number of vessels on the Great Lakes and for years part owner of 
freight-carrying steamers and schooners, died early Thursday night at 
the Sunny View Sanitarium at Fond de Lac where he had been a patient 
several years.

Captain Lahey was born at Menominee, Mich., on Aug. 7, 1871, a son of 
the late Edward Lahey and Ann Williamson Lahey.  When he was 14 years 
old the family brought him to Two Rivers.
Continuing his education in the Two River public schools, he took his 
first post as a mariner as a mate on the tug Temple Emory of the Mann 
Bros. Co. of Two Rivers which was commanded by Captain Campbell and 
later by Capt. Louis Le Clair.
Several years later Mr. Lahey and James Tesser of Two Rivers purchased 
the steam barge M&M, a lumber carrier. It also carried freight between 
Two Rivers and Manitowoc for the Goodrich Transit Co.
Captain Lahey's next venture was the operation of the steam barge 
Welcome, a former passenger craft of the Hart Transportation Co. which 
was converted for freight conveyance. His partner in the operation was 
the late Dr. Joseph Eggers, Two Rivers dentist.
Disposing of the M&M, Captain Lahey with the late Simon Schneider, a 
local clothier, his brother Peter Lahey, also of Two Rivers, acquired 
the two-masted schooner Glen Cuyler which was engaged as a freight 
carrier, on the east and west shores of Lake Michigan.
Later, for a number of years Captain Lahey became master of the Sailor 
Boy, a passenger and freight carrier of the Hart Transportation Co. and 
then retired from the lakes after serving as captain on one of the U.S. 
Engineering Dept. about 1920.  Returning to Two Rivers, Captain Lahey 
took a position as engineer at Two Rivers Municipal Hospital from which 
post he retired a number of years ago because of ill health.
Surviving him are his wife, the former Lucille Campbell, whom he married 
at Marinette in 1913, a daughter, Miss Clara Lahey of Norwalk, Conn., 
four sons, Roy, John and Donald of Two Rivers and George of Philadelphia, 
two sisters, Mrs. Fred W. Dicke of Two Rivers and Mrs. George Hollander 
of Manitowoc, two brothers, George and Peter Lahey of Two Rivers, and 
eight grandchildren.

ESTHER LAUBER

TWO HELD FOR DEATH OF TWO RIVERS GIRL
Arrests at Milwaukee Follow Operation that Led to Death
Two men are held at Milwaukee in connection with the death in that city 
of Miss Esther Lauber, 25, Two Rivers girl, alleged victim of an illegal 
operation. The girl's death occurred at a Milwaukee hospital Saturday and 
following refusal of the attending physician to sign a death certificate, 
the two men were taken into custody and are said to have admitted the charge. 
An indictment of the two is expected, one for manslaughter and the other on 
a charge of being an accessory.
The men held are Walter Stray, 32, of 2436 Vine Street and Herman Mittelman, 
20, of 1529 Chestnut street, Milwaukee. The latter had been keeping company 
with the girl, and according to the police, is the man who induced his 
friend, Stray, to perform an illegal operation upon her.
Pair Confess, Claim
The police Sunday declared that both Stray and Mittelman admitted their 
responsibility and Capt. Harry McCrory, head of the detective bureau, said 
that Stray made a full and complete confession, saying that he had made a 
study of certain illegal practices from medical books which he purchased. 
He declared he performed the operation "to help out his friend."
Mittelman's story coincided with that told by Stray, and, in addition to 
that, the police have the story of Dr. Peter J. Merten, who cared for the 
girl after she had been removed to the Milwaukee Maternity and General 
hospital, Dr. Merten was called in by Stray, the police said, when Stray 
became frightened because of her illness and the physician immediately 
ordered her removal to the hospital, where she died yesterday.
Manslaughter Evidence
Following her death, Dr. Merten refused to sign a death certificate until 
after the coroner's office had conducted an investigation. Before his 
investigation had hardly been started the two men had been taken into 
custody.
Girl Employed as Clerk
The Lauber girl, a daughter of Adam Lauber, Two Rivers, had been employed 
at Milwaukee as a clerk at the Schuster stores. She was born at Two Rivers, 
November 22, 1900 and had made her home with relatives at Milwaukee for 
some time past. She is survived by her parents, one brother, Carl Lauber 
and three sisters, Mrs. W.A. Elbers, Mrs. A. Adler and Edna Lauber.
Funeral at Two Rivers
The body of Miss Lauber will be brought to Two Rivers today and the funeral 
will be held Tuesday at 2 o'clock from the family home, the Rev. Haase 
officiating.

GEORGE LAWRENCE

Believed Lake Michigan Hold Body of George Lawrence of this City, 
Drowned at Two Rivers on Night April 6 - Family Fears for the Worse
A Press representative returned from Two Rivers this afternoon after investigating 
the disappearance of George Lawrence of this city and there is little question but 
that he is dead, having drowned in the river there about 2 o'clock on the morning 
of April 6.
George Lawrence, Henry Lawrence in company with a cousin, Frank Hoffmann, left 
this city three weeks ago Tuesday for Two Rivers, intending to get work in the 
Aluminum Factory there. On Sunday, April 6, the three were seen about the streets 
of Two Rivers and later George Lawrence started out along toward the aluminum 
plant and while going along the dock he is believed to have lost his balance and 
fallen into the river. Herman Krueger, night fireman at the Aluminum plant heard 
cries for help and hastening to the point where the cries for help came from, he 
could see nothing and could find no evidence that anyone had fallen into the river. 
Ed Gauthier who resides in Two Rivers was acquainted with George Lawrence and 
commended an investigation himself. He learned that Henry Lawrence and Frank 
Hoffmann had left Two Rivers while George Lawrence had remained behind. Then to 
it was learned that the three were seen near a point on the East side, a short 
time before the accident and here they parted, George remaining in Two Rivers and 
the other two leaving town. 
A mother and wife anxiously await news from Two Rivers, hoping against hope. A 
representative of the Press, on conversation with the Captain of the Life Saving 
Station at Two Rivers, stated that the river had been dragged in hopes of 
recovering the body with no success. It is his belief that the current carried 
the body out into the lake.
George Lawrence was 25 years of age and besides his mother, a sister and brother, 
has a wife and one son, 4 years of age. There is sadness in the home but a spark 
of hope is ever present. As the mailman approaches the house at 1341 Mehrtens 
Street each morning, the mother and wife await anxiously his coming, thinking 
that there is some message from the lost one that he is among the living.

BODY FOUND IN RIVER
The body of George Lawrence, who was drowned on the morning of April 6 at Two 
Rivers, Wis., was found at 3 o'clock this afternoon while the government dredge 
was at work on the harbor.
While dredging, the body was brought to the surface and the life savers went to 
the scene and the body was removed to the undertaking parlors and notice sent to 
the relatives in this city. George Lawrence, in company with his brother and a 
cousin, Frank Hoffmann, left this city the early part of April in search of work. 
At an early morning hour, Lawrence, who was walking along the dock, fell into 
the river. His cries were heard at the time and a search was made. Mrs. Lawrence, 
the wife, has lived in hopes that there might still be a ray of hope, but all of 
this was dispelled this afternoon when the message was received from Two Rivers.
Only last evening a local publication endeavored to create the impression that 
the story published in the Press of some days ago was not the truth and that 
Lawrence was still alive. Besides his mother, Lawrence is survived by a wife and 
one child. The body will be brought here for interment.

EXTRA
DRAG RIVER FOR MISSING MAN TWO RIVERS
Life savers at Two Rivers are dragging the river for the body of 
Wm Lawrence(sic), a Sheboygan man who is missing and who left Sheboygan 
to visit at Two Rivers. Lawrence is believed to have lost his life two 
weeks ago when the watchman at the Aluminum works was routed out by 
cries for help coming down the river. Reaching the scene he failed to 
find anyone and it is believed that the man went down before held could 
reach him. The ice had just left the river and upon report from Sheboygan 
that Lawrence had not returned the search was instituted today but up to 
a late hour without result.

LAWRENCE MAY HAVE WALKED INTO RIVER
According to the Two Rivers Chronicle, George Lawrence, the Sheboygan 
man believed drowned in the river there, may have walked into the river 
while under the influence of liquor. The Chronicle says that previous to 
his disappearance, Lawrence had been "under the weather". It is said 
that the man was mixed up with others in the disappearance of a quantity 
of whiskey at Sheboygan and came to Two Rivers to evade arrest. The body 
has not been found.

BODY OF LAWRENCE FOUND IN RIVER AT TWO RIVERS TODAY
(Special to the Herald)
Two Rivers, April 25-

disappeared while visiting in this city, was taken from the river at the 
foot of Jefferson Street this afternoon. Coroner Falge at Manitowoc was 
notified and an inquest will be held.
The dredge 'Algoma' brought up the body while at work in the river, the 
point where the body was recovered being at the harbor entrance, some

PAUL LINDENAU

TWO RIVERS MAN MEETS DEATH IN SEWER CAVE-IN
Children Find the Body Of Man Buried In Trench
TWO RIVERS, May 4-
Paul Lindenau, local contractor met death yesterday in a cave-in of 
a sewer ditch which he was excavating under a sidewalk in the north 
section of the city, on the Mishicot road. Mr. Lindenau's body was 
discovered some time after the accident and physicians said that the 
man had probably been dead three hours before the body was taken from 
the sewer trench.
Children returning from school late yesterday afternoon discovered 
the tragedy when they noticed the feet of a man protruding from the 
trench, the body being covered by dirt which had caved in on him. 
Louis Hartung who was notified by the children of their ghastly find, 
summoned assistance and removed the body and physicians were called 
but the man was dead.
Working On Last Pipe
Investigation showed that Lindenau was making the connection for the 
last pipe when he met his death. He had excavated a tunnel under the 
cement walk and was engaged in work of fitting the pipe alone when the 
wall of the trench gave way and imprisoned him under the cave-in.
Mr. Lindenau when he secured the contract for the work said that he 
did not feel that he should attempt it alone and would secure a helper 
but he had failed to do so and his failure to have assistance was 
responsible for his death as had he been accompanied by a helper, at 
the time of the cave-in it might have been possible to rescue him.
Was Unmarried Man
Mr. Lindnau was about 36 years of age and unmarried. He had made his 
home at Two Rivers most of his life and formerly operated a jitney 
service between Two Rivers and Manitowoc. He is survived by two sisters, 
Mrs. Edward Albright, Two Rivers and Mrs. Walter Grade of Watertown.
Funeral arrangements have not been ocmpleted (sic).
