FLORIAN MONKA (d. 1901) WENT DOWN WITH BOAT Manitowoc Youth and His Two Rivers Brother-in-law Lose Life at Sheboygan FISHING SMACK IS CAPSIZED Northeasterly Gale Strikes Boat Within Short Distance From Shore - Accident Monday Afternoon. By the capsizing of a Two Rivers fishing smack, which occurred less than half a mile out from Sheboygan late Monday afternoon, two lives were lost, one of the victims being Martin Zigrodnik a youth of this city and the other his brother-in-law, Florian Monka, of Two Rivers. The fatality was witnessed by people on the pier and a tug was at once sent to the rescue, but too late to lend assistance, the men having gone down before the scene was reached. Monka, who was a fisherman at Two Rivers, has recently placed a new gasoline engine into the boat Monday morning, accompanied by young Zigrodnik had set out to place the nets for a catch. At noon quite a sea prevailed and it is supposed that the boat was unable to make her way back, and drifted southward, the wind coming from the northeast, until near Sheboygan where an attempt was made to run to port. This was partly successful but the heavy sea carried the boat on the roof just north of the breakwater. Search for the bodies and boat was conducted, but all that could be recovered was two net boxes and several buoys. The boat in which the men put out was thirty feet in length, seven feet beam and of Mackinaw build. It is thought probable that Zigrodnik became seasick and was unable to assist in managing the boat and that Monka could do nothing alone. News of the accident reached here in the evening, but it was not until late that the identity of the unfortunate men was established. Zigrodnik was a youth of 18 years of age and was son of Mr. and Mrs. A. Zigrodnik, who reside on the South Side. Monka was married and is survived by several brothers and sisters. The loss entailed in the sinking of the boat is $900. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Tuesday, March 19, 1901, p. 1 ****** Two Men Drowned Florian Monka of Two Rivers and his brother-in-law, Frank Zegranik of Manitowoc, were drowned Monday by the sinking of a fishing boat in which they were trying to make Sheboygan harbor. Monka was 35 years of age and Zegranik 17. Manitowoc Pilot, Wis., Thursday, March 21, 1901 pg. 1 *********** NO TRACE OF BODIES Of Men Who Went Down In Fishing Smack at Sheboygan Monday. Up to the present time nothing more has been heard or seen of the two men who lost their lives by the foundering of their fishing boat while trying to enter the Sheboygan harbor in the severe storm of Monday. Relatives immediately hastened to Sheboygan from Two Rivers on receipt of the information but on account of the high sea running and large ice flows coming down the lake it was impossible to do anything toward searching for the bodies or the craft. Two Rivers city has for years been the home of hundreds of fisherman from the ranks of whom many men were selected to serve in the United States life saving service, and at one time every captain in charge of a station from Sturgeon Bay to South Chicago was a Two Riverite. The accident at Sheboygan is the first of its kind to occur since the year 1881, when two fishermen lost their lives by drowning while coming from Algoma. Several pieces of the Two Rivers fishing smack lost off Sheboygan break water Monday have been picked up in the river there. One of the pieces was part of the side of the boat and gun wale and another was a part of the spar that attached to the spar seat. Another article was a gallon can filled with oil, also a washboard. The parts of the boat were all painted a led (sic) color which corresponds with the color of the boat. A great many expressed the belief that the boat would remain intact but this seems a quite conclusion evidence that it has gone to pieces. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Friday, March 22, 1901, p. 1 ******** A FLOATER IS FOUND Body, Supposed To Be That of Florian Monka Picked Up Near Sheboygan WAS IN WATER MANY WEEKS Trace of Two Rivers Fisherman Who Met Death Off a Fishing Smack-Body Badly Decomposed The body of a man was found floating at the foot of Ashland Avenue, Sheboygan at about noon Thursday. It is supposed that it is that of Florian Monka, the Two Rivers fisherman who lost his life with his brother-in-law Joseph Zigrodnik off that harbor on March 18th. Mrs. M.O. Galaway, wife of Assemblyman Galaway noticed the corpse floating in the lake and called the attention of the authorities to the discovery. The coroner was notified and a jury consisting of Mr. O. Galaway, Henry Wedemeier, Frank Skelton, Al Schwartz, Will Capelli and Frank Dougherty was called. After viewing the remains they adjourned until nine o'clock this morning and in the meantime Two Rivers officials were notified. The body was badly decomposed and the features well nigh unrecognizable. It was clad in corderoy trousers, blue overalls, half soled shoes and a rough jacket. As there has been no other drowning near Sheboygan of late and as the corpse seems to be that of a middle aged man it is fairly certain that it is that of Monka. Indications also point to the fact that the floater had been in the water since spring. It will be remembered that the two men were drowned from a gasoline fishing smack on the reef north of the breakwater during a wild spring storm. The craft which capsized at the time was a Mackinac boat, twenty-six feet long and seven feet wide. Monka's companion, Zigrodnik was but a boy and not accustomed to the water and the presumption is that he was unable to aid his brother-in-law much in the management of the boat. The boy resided in this city and was the son of Mrs. A. Zigrodnik who resides on the South Side. An attempt had been made by Monka to set his nets but he drifted away from the fishing spot and with the youth met death. Search was made for the bodies at the time but until Thursday no trace of them had ever been found. Manitowoc Daily Herald, August 2, 1901 p.1 ******** AFTER MANY DAYS - ZIGRODNEK The body washed ashore at Sheboygan Thursday was identified as the younger of the two unfortunate fisherman, Joseph Zigrodnek instead of Florian Monka as was first thought. The shoes worn by the young men were means by which this feet was revealed the corpse being badly decomposed. A sad scene was presented at the depot Friday when the body was brought to the city for burial. The mother could scarcely restrain her grief and all were greatly affected. The funeral occurred from the Polish church, Rev. Krzwonos officiating, interment was at the Polish cemetery. The circumstances surrounding the case were indeed sad and the bereaved parents have the sympathy of the community.

JOSEPH MROTEK (d. 1924) MOTORIST KILLED ON SHOTO ROAD CRASHES INTO BRIDGE WORK, GOES TO DEATH Joseph Mrotek, Two Rivers Man, Meets a Tragic End Crashing through the barricades at the Muth bridge on the Shoto road, north of this city, shortly before midnight, Joseph Mrotek of Two Rivers was hurled to his death when his motorcycle road a plank crossing the gap to the bridge, struck the concrete work of the bridge and precipitated him to the bottom of a fifteen foot drop. His belt caught in one of the pilings, preventing him from falling into the water at the bottom of the cut but death is believed to have been instantaneous as the man’s skull was crushed, his nose broken and a deep cut in his chin. He was dead when he was reached by Chief Trochlell, assistant Chief Ladwig and Motorcycle Officer George Darbant who were called to the scene, Edward Pasek, another Two River man, who was a passenger in the side car of the motorcycle, escaped without serious hurt. Had Been at Dance Mrotek and Pasek were both employed at the Hamilton plant at Two Rivers and are neighbors. They left the Mrotek home at 8 o’clock to attend a dance at the Rhode hall at Newton. The trip was made via Highway 17 and the two were on their way back to Two Rivers when the fatal accident occurred. They had stopped at the Lawrence Fuka saloon, North Eighth street for a lunch and left the place at about 11:15. Whether he intended to make another stop at the Outside Inn will never be known as his life was snuffed out when he crashed through the barricade and his companion of the evening says he was unaware of his plans. Pasek Hazy on Accident According to Pasek’s story he fell asleep when they started from the city and did not awaken until the crash came. When he came to he and the motorcycle were on the uncompleted Muth bridge with Mrotek nowhere in sight. He searched and it was a short time before he could realize his whereabouts. Pasek got off the bridge on the south side and a moment later was joined by Walter Bruce of this city who was taking a young lady to her home at Two Rivers in his motor. Bruce turned about and the three, Bruce, Pasek and the young lady hurried to the police station with their story. Chief Trochlell, his assistant Edward Ladwig and George Darbant started immediately for the scene of the accident and as soon as a flashlight was turned on the bridge work, Mrotek’s body was found hanging from one of the pilings. The rescuers got the body to the higher ground and called Dr. G.W. Kemper, county coroner but it was apparent that Mrotek was beyond human aid. Driving at Fast Rate From the position of the motorcycle on the bridge and the _____at the accident Mrotek was going at a high rate of speed, crashed through the barricade which extended the full width of the road, struck a two plank walk with the wheel of his motorcycle and was hurled to his death when the machine struck the concrete work of the bridge, the plank having rested on a ledge a foot under the floor of the bridge. The side car must have been carried high in the air by the impact with the barricade and also struck the end of the bridge. The machine itself landed on the bridge and while the front wheel is completely wrecked the balance is in fair condition and there was still air in both tires this morning. The bike was turned completely around but was standing on its wheels. Iron rods used in reinforcing the concrete work, were bent by the impact with the machine and tools were scattered over the floor of the bridge. Pasek says he was thrown to the floor of the bridge but outside of bruises was not hurt and broke no bones. His first thought was for his companion when he came to and when he failed to find him he hastened to this city for the aid of the police. Coroner Calls Inquest Coroner Dr. W. G. Kemper ordered an inquest. The body was removed to the Urbanek and Wattawa undertaking parlor here it was viewed by the jury this afternoon. They were then taken to the scene of the accident and the inquest adjourned until next Wednesday. The speedometer on the motorcycle showed that at some time between the city and scene of the accident a speed of forty miles was attained. Joseph Mrotek was twenty-two years at his last birthday, March 14. He was born in this city, the family having resided at 1900 Hamilton street but moved to Two Rivers fifteen years ago. His father is head and he is survived by his mother, Mrs. Anna Mrotek, 1817 Twenty-second street, Two Rivers; three brothers, two half brothers, and five sisters.

RICHARD F. NELSON Richard F. Nelson, age 69, of Falls Church, Va., formerly of Manitowoc, died unexpectedly early Wednesday, December 16, 1998, in Falls Church, Va. Funeral Services will be held at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, December 23, 1998, at St. Luke Catholic Church, Two Rivers. Officiating at the Mass of Christian burial will be the Rev. Larry Seidl with burial to follow in Holy Cross Cemetery, Two Rivers. Military graveside rites will be accorded by VFW and American Legion Posts of Two Rivers. Richard was born September 25, 1929, in Manitowoc, son of the late Edwin and Agatha Mortek Nelson. Richard Nelson had the formula for success, a formula that drove him from entry- level quartermaster corps worker with the United States Army to a civilian rank equivalent to brigadier (onestar) general during his 24 years at the Pentagon: Work hard, enthusiastically accept added responsibility, and surround yourself with good people. Nelson and his family believe he is the only person from Manitowoc County to have achieved this civilian position grade level (GM-15). At the time he retired from the Pentagon civilian position, Nelson was a respected advisor to high ranking military personnel including the Joint Chiefs of Staff, defended the Army budget before congressional committees and verified the needs of the Army by traveling throughout the world to visit military bases. Nelson said he left behind a huge number of unpaid hours when he retired, but that was all part of the job. During his assignments, he said he never attempted to avoid adding responsibilities to his job description if it worked to better the organization. And when he was put in positions of hiring people, he looked for those with the same qualities he wanted in himself, those who would be promotable. He said he hired many people who moved up the ranks, an achievement he is proud of both for himself in selecting these people and for the hirees taking advantage of the opportunities presented. Nelson retired July 1, 1995, from his position as real property maintenance activities program and budget officer, in which he was overseer of the Army's $5 billion budget and advisor to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in addition to making many appearances before various congressional committees to provide information on the military. Nelson was assigned to justify the Army expenditures around the world. He visited many of those facilities during his tenure in the Pentagon, making more than 70 flights across the Atlantic and six across the Pacific. The Army has 295 major installations that have 100 to thousands of personnel each, 700 smaller installations with less than 100 personnel, 861 reserve centers and 179 National Guard units. Many of the installations were like small cities, Nelson said, noting that the finances for all were under his management. On those trips, he verified the needs of the various bases and attempted to accomodate the needs of the soldiers. Not bad for a young man who quit college in the fall of 1948, one semester after graduating from Manitowoc Lincoln High School. While in high school and college, he put in more than 50 hours a week making ice cream at Beernsten's Confectionery, and frying donuts and catching bread at Dick Bros. Bakery, simply because his family needed the income. His first try to join the Navy was not accepted because more than abundant peacetime numbers were volunteering. He then joined the Army, where he took a quartermaster corps assignment, after he was not assured he could get into cooking school. He served four years and one day in Europe and was discharged March 24, 1953, in Salzburg, Austria. He rejoined the Army the next day as a civilian supply systems analyst (GS-5) with the same quartermaster corps he had served as a military person the day before. "I needed the money, but I also love Europe," Nelson said of his decision. Several transfers resulted in time in France, where he joined the French Cycle Tourist Club, which had about 100 members, including a half-dozen Americans. One-hundred-kilometer rides and 30-kilometer hikes were common and quite a delight, especially to the French people. The touring group enjoyed the wine and crepes offered by the country people, creating memories for Nelson he said he wouldn't soon forget, despite the fact they happened more than 35 years ago. But even the beauty of Europe grew mundane. He longed to return to America. "It was fun, but it got to the point where I wanted to live with Americans again," Nelson said. One of his former Army bosses had rotated back to the Fifth Army headquarters in Chicago and asked for Nelson. So in May 1964, after nearly 14 1/2 years in Europe, Nelson returned to America and went to Chicago. He was transferred to Fort Sheridan and ultimately promoted to budget officer of the Base Operatins Function. Nelson began a 24-year stint at the Pentagon in March 1971, rising to the civilian management rank of GS-15, and becoming the person with the most seniority in the Pentagon. In September 1971, he became program and budget manager of real property maintenance activities, which was responsible for funding all Army installations world wide. Nelson did not rise to his rank simply by doing a good job enthusiastically, he said. "I saw the light of day," he said, recognizing that he would need a college degree to be promotable. He went back to college in 1965 and 29 years after dropping out of college in Manitowoc, he earned a degree in business administration, with a minor in finance. "If I had not had that, I would probably not have been promoted to GM-15," Nelson said. "Regardless of experience, when I hired people, I looked for what they were doing in college. If they were working toward a degree, that was okay. If they had a degree, that was good," Nelson said. "I was looking for promotability." At his retirement luncheon in Washington, Nelson said he was probably most proud of the fact that he looked out for the soldiers (because he had been one) and was recognized by many for that concern. He worked for upgrades in European facilities, in addition to facilities at Fort Bliss and Fort Gordon. Recognition came in the form of a Meritorious Service Award for years of service and the Commander Medal from the chief of engineers of the Army Corps of Engineers. Although he was retired, he said he would remain associated with the Army Corps of Engineers as an advisor. Survivors include two sisters and brothers-in-law, Patricia and Donald Deja, Two Rivers; Janice and Mel Schack of Florida; one sister-in-law Margaret Nelson, Manitowoc; two half-brothers, Dennis Nelson, California; David Nelson, Illinois; and uncle, Roland Nelson, Manitowoc.

ALBERT NIQUETTE (d. 1930) Funeral of Two Drowning Victims From St. Luke's Funeral services for Albert Niquette 10, and Roger Berger, 4, two boys drowned in the river here Saturday afternoon, will take place from St. Luke's Catholic church. The Niquette boy will be buried on Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock and the Berger boy on Wednesday morning at the same hour. Finding of the bodies on Sunday, followed several hours of frantic search by scores of citizens. Details of the drownings will be found on page 2 of tonight's Herald News. Manitowoc Herald News, August 18, 1930 P. 11 ******* Double Drowning at Two Rivers on Saturday TWO BOYS LOSE LIVES IN RIVER WHILE AT PLAY Frantic Search Ends As Younger Brother of One Boy Gives Clue; Squads Search All Night Two Rivers was saddened Sunday by a double drowning of two boys, aged ten and four years old. The bodies of the two, Albert Niquette, 10, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Niquette, 1415 Fifteenth street, Two Rivers and Roger, four year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Berger, 1016 Sixteenth street, Two Rivers were recovered by the coast guard Sunday morning. Both boys lost their lives while playing along the docks on Saturday. A city wide search for the pair terminated at ten o'clock Sunday morning when members of the coastguard recovered the bodies from the drive. It was not known just what happened to the pair until the coast guardsmen found the bodies and searching parties frantically scoured the city on Saturday night looking for the two missing boys. The Niquette boy lost his life when he fell between the dilapidated piling on the city dock opposite the Reiss Coal Co., at the foot of Jefferson street there. The Berger boy lost his life while throwing stones into the river with a companion, about fifty feet from the end of the harbor at the foot of Sixteenth street on the east side. Brother Gives Clue The disappearance of both lads Saturday afternoon and early Saturday night created city wide attention, but no real clues to their drowning were revealed until Sunday morning when a four year old brother of the Niquette boy said the boy had slipped into the river but was afraid to tell his parents, and a four year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald LaFave, Sixteenth street, said the Berger boy was throwing stones into the river at the foot of the street. In the drowning of the Niquette boy the facts were not revealed until seven o'clock Sunday morning when the four year old brother along with the parents had gone to the police station to secure information as to the whereabouts of the boy. At the station the younger brother told Chief of Police Thad Logan that he and his brother were playing at the city docks when his brother fell in. Afraid To Tell Parents The parents of the Niquette boy at the station remarked that the lad was dreaming as he told his story to Chief Logan. When asked by the chief why he did not tell his parents, he said that he was afraid. Immediately Chief Logan notified Capt. Miller at the Coast Guard station whose crew was searching with grappling hooks for the Berger boy.Just a half hour after the guardsmen confined their search for the Niquette lad, he was located at the same spot designated by the younger brother. The body of Roger Berger was found at ten Sunday morning five minutes after the son of Gerald La Fave told his father he had seen him throwing stones in the river near the elbow in the river on the east side Saturday. The coast guard went to the spot and recovered the body in a few minutes. The lad was found fifteen feet from where the LaFave boy said he saw him praying on Saturday. Squads Search All Night Throughout Saturday night squads of residents assisted the Coast Guard in combing Neshotah Park, the north beach and every street and home on the eastside. When all this procedure failed the American Legion post headed by Commander Victor Tomek and John Mezera and a boy scout troop under the direction of Norman Hippert began to search both sides of the lake front Sunday morning. The Legion squad started off at nine o'clock Sunday morning up the Sandy Bay road and were to return along the Legion Memorial drive. Both squads were informed of the recovery of the Berger boy by the water and light fire siren. Throughout Saturday night Officers Ben Hanstedt and John Meneau headed squads of businessmen and other citizens in searching the city for the boys. Scores were furnished with flashlights and lanterns. The coast guard under the command of Capt. Miller began to drag the river all the way up to Still Bend in an effort to locate the lost Berger boy, and had later confined their efforts to the stilling basin until the clue that the lad had fallen into the river was uncovered. Get Bloodhounds Saturday night two bloodhounds were secured from DePere by the grief-stricken Berger family, but the dogs brought their owner down to the beach north of the stilling basin. A thorough search of the beach failed to locate the lad, but it was thought that the heavy seas, if the lad had waded out and lost his life, would have washed him ashore. Both lads' disappearance became known Saturday afternoon and evening, the Berger family aware of the boy's absence at four o'clock and the Niquette family reporting the disappearance of the son at seven o'clock Saturday night. Hundreds of persons lined the docks and the premises of the coast guard stations at Two Rivers Sunday morning shortly after the recovery of the Niquette boy, viewing the activities of the surfmen in the their search for the Berger lad.

A thief came awhile back and slowly took our Mom away. He didn't do it all at once, but by tiny pieces every day. At first we hardly noticed and sometimes even smiled. "Oh, she's just getting older," we told ourselves, our long suit was denial. The haunted look for what once was the searching, asking, pacing, the thief had all the cards in hand, with time against Mom racing. Mom tried her best with what she had, and Lord knows we did too, but the thief just took control and stole each bit of her we knew. But now that hard battle's over, and Mom's resting in her final Home. Manitowoc Herald Times Saturday, November 16, 2002 pg. A3 ********* (04 Sep 1909/14 Nov 2002/SSDI)

BERNARD F. NOOKER Farmer Wounds Daughter-In-Law; Kills Himself With Shotgun Blast Bernard F. Nooker Victim of Argument Mrs. Donald Nooker In Hospital With Wounds in Chest and Neck TISCH-MILLS—A 57-year-old Town of Gibson farmer critically wounded his daughter- in-law and then killed himself with a .16 gauge shotgun following an argument Thursday morning at a farm home three miles west of this village on County Highway BB. Dead was Bernard F. Nooker, who was found slumped over a packing box in an upstairs room with the gun lying between his legs. Authorities said he had shot himself in the face. Wounded was Mrs. Donald Nooker, about 30, the former Dorothy Kubsch, who was rushed to Two Rivers Municipal Hospital with shotgun pellets in the chest and neck. She was given blood plasma upon arrival at the hospital in the Meihsner ambulance. A late report from the attending physician indicated she was in critical condition. (snip) Mrs. Nooker and her seven children had been living at 3808 Custer St., Manitowoc. She and her husband have been married about 10 years. According to information pieced together by authorities, Mrs. Nooker went into the house and up the stairway to get some belongings. Nooker apparently was waiting for her with the shotgun and fired at point blank range. She was hit in the chest by at least one charge. Slumps to Ground After she was shot, Mrs. Nooker staggered down the steps to the front entrance and slumped to the ground about 50 feet from the house. Nooker went into another room and turned the gun on himself. Authorities said a total of five cartridges were fired from the gun, including three in the room where Nooker’s body was found. Gill and Mrs. Markwardt reportedly were in the house on the first floor when the shooting occurred. Nooker’s body was removed to the Klein and Stangel Funeral Home at Two Rivers. Manitowoc Herald Times, August 24, 1961 P.1 ******** Survivor in Critical Condition Gill Considers Murder-Suicide Attempt “Cleverly Planned Plot” MANITOWOC—Mrs. Donald Nooker, about 30, was the victim of a “cleverly planned” plot in the opinion of County Special Investigator Alvin J. Gill who accompanied her to the Nooker farm home three miles west of Tisch Mills on County Highway BB Thursday morning. Mrs. Nooker, the former Dorothy Kubsch and mother of seven children, was critically wounded by her father-in-law, Bernard F. Nooker, 57, who then killed himself with an old blot action .16 gauge shotgun. Mrs. Nooker who was shot in the chest and neck, was still in critical condition Friday at Two Rivers Municipal Hospital. (snip) The entire party proceeded to enter the house and preparations were made to remove furniture when Mrs. Nooker announced that she was going up to an attic on the second floor to get a wedding gift, according to the investigator. Slips Upstairs While Gill and Mrs. Markwardt were occupied with such preparations, Nooker apparently slipped upstairs unnoticed and shot the unsuspecting woman with a gun from the attic. Gill said he and Mrs. Markwardt heard two shots intermingling with screams. She and Krainik ran from the house while Gill got his revolver from a nearby parked car, advanced to the staircase and yelled several times for Nooker to come down. Then Gill said he heard a third shot. After this, the investigator went to his car with Mrs. Markwardt and Krainik, drove down the lane out of firing range and radioed county authorities for assistance. It was at this point, Gill said, that Mrs. Nooker staggered out the front entrance and collapsed on the lawn about 50 to 60 feet from the house. He laid her down in the ditch and administered first aid with Mrs. Markwardt.
