(From reseacher/see contributors page:
In Plot 26-8 of Holy Cross Cemetery in Two Rivers the identification of the
persons could be made clearer. Clara Leswiss, daughter of August Leswiss,
married Emile Dachelet. He is buried in Brussels, Door County. Michael was 
her brother. This could be clarified by citing Clara as nee Clara Leswiss 
and show that Michael's name is Leswiss (not Dachelet)

The officers arrived at Buretta's residence and walked up the stairs to the

collapsed in the street.

Eugene Dupras with U.S. Infantry and James Elliott with Canadians
PARENTS GET TELEGRAMS
Former Was Killed in Action July 31 and Elliott, August 9
The following telegram was received Friday, August 23, by Regis Dupras of 21st 
Street.
Washington D.C.
"Deeply regret to inform you that Private Eugene Dupras, infantry, is officially 
reported killed in action, July 31."
Harris, Acting Adjutant General
**********
The father found it hard to break the news to the brothers and sisters, the 
mother being away on a visit with relatives at Coleman. She returned home 
Saturday.
Private Dupras, aged 19, was volunteer, having joined the Sheboygan Guard Company 
just before it left for the South. He was home here the last time in July, 1917 
and left with his regiment for France last January. Shortly before departure he 
sent home his photograph of which the above picture is a reproduction, writing on 
the back, a cheerful, light-hearted greeting.
Private Dupras was born in Coleman, Wis., and was the oldest of eight children who 
are now deeply grieved over his death. Those who survive him, besides his parents 
are sisters, Emma, Margaret, Dorothy, Cecelia, Ida and Josephine and brother, 
Julius.
The family has the sympathy of the community in its bereavement as well as the 
honor and high regard of all for the noble sacrifice made in the great cause of 
democracy. The golden star that will now adorn the family service flag in place 
of the blue, will be a rich heritage.
The city flag was displayed at half mast several days in honor of Private Dupras 
and solemn requiem mass was held at St. Luke's church Monday morning for the soul 
of the young an whose life was the first sacrifice Two Rivers has made in the 
battlefield in the way of world democracy.

Joseph Dupuis Killed In Action 
Two Rivers Man Is War Victim 
Word of the death in action in the North African area on July 14 of Private 
First Class Joseph L. Dupuis, 34, was received by his mother in Two Rivers 
this afternoon.
PFC Dupuis, apparently a member of the forces invading Sicily, is the tenth 
Two Rivers man to lose his life in this war and the 32nd county victim of the 
fighting thus far. He was the son of Mrs. Katherine Dupuis of 1519 Jefferson 
street, Two Rivers. 
The Two Rivers soldier was inducted into the Army on April 20, 1941 and in 
November of that year was released after passage of the law on 28-year-olds. 
He was called back to service in March 1942 and was last home on a visit in 
October last year.
In a letter written home early in July he stated that it looked as though the 
forces he was with were going to invade the homeland of Joseph Sidoty, a well 
known Two Rivers resident of Italian descent. He expressed the hope of writing 
again within ten days "if nothing happens."
Survivors are the mother; five sisters, Mrs. Bernard Simono of Two Rivers, Mrs. 
Robert Lee of this city and the Misses Jeanette, Carol and Joan at home; and 
one brother, Mark Alton Dupuis of Sturgeon Bay.

EMMETT DUROCHER

Youth Killed As Car Skids From Road, Hits Tree
Emmett Durocher, 18, of 2022 East River street, Two Rivers, was killed instantly 
about 7:30 a.m. today when his car skidded on a patch of ice just southwest of 
the Ronsman tavern on Legion Memorial drive, continued on across the highway, 
and wrapped itself around a tree. 
The youth, a welder at the ship yards here, could not be extricated from the 
wreckage of the car until a wrecker arrived. When wreckage of the car was pulled 
from the tree the frame broke in half.
Coroner Theodore Teitgen said Durocher sustained broken legs, a broken back, a 
broken neck and a skull fracture. He added that death must have been instantaneous. 
Each of the legs was broken in several places.
(snip) 
Hit Tree With Force
According to Office Meneau, Durocher was driving towards Two Rivers when the car 
struck a patch of ice and apparently went out of control, cutting left across the 
highway for about 100 feet and striking the fairly large tree. The auto, a 1930 
Chevrolet coach, struck the tree with the left side just back of the hood. 
When the car finally came to a stop the tree was standing right in the middle of 
it. County Traffic Officer Meneau said that the impact apparently forced the left 
side door of the car open and forced the upper part of Durocher's body out, but 
at the same time pinned the legs between the car and the tree.
According to Chief Deputy Henschel, Joseph Tyson of Valders was the first to notice 
the accident. Henschel said Tyson told him he had gone to Two Rivers shortly after 
seven o'clock and there was no wrecked car at the side of the road. When he returned 
about 7:30 the car was there. Tyson then hailed a Two Rivers-bound car and told the 
driver to notify authorities, according to Henschel. Two Rivers police were called. 
They notified the local police by radio and the message was relayed to the sheriff's 
office. Henschel then called Meaneau, who was scheduled to start work at 8 a.m. 
Funeral Monday
(snip)
Funeral services will be held at Two Rivers Monday morning at 8:30 o'clock from 
the Klein & Stangel, Inc., funeral home and at nine o'clock from the St. Luke's 
Catholic church with the Very Rev. Dean C.V. Hugo officiating. Interment will be 
in Holy Cross cemetery. The body may be viewed from Sunday to the time of the 
funeral.
Emmett William Durocher was born May 22, 1925 at Two Rivers, the son of Mr. and 
Mrs. William Durocher. He graduated from the St. Luke's grade school and attended 
Washington high school for one year, after which he attended the Two Rivers 
Vocational school. He took up welding and about a year ago started to work at the 
ship yards here.
He was a member of the Holy Name Society and of the St. Joseph's Athletic Association.
Survivors are the parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Durocher of Two Rivers; and five 
brothers, Donald, Glen, Evan, Dale and Wayne, all at home.
