NORMAN R. FEILE   cemetery #84

SERGEANT NORMAN R. FEILE IS KILLED IN ACTION
The entire community was saddened on Thursday morning of last week to learn 
that another of its fine young men, Sergeant Norman R. Feile, had been killed 
in action in Germany on April 9th.  The announcement of his death came in a 
message from the war department to his mother, Mrs. Henry Feile.
Sergeant Feile, who was in his 22nd year, was born at Manitowoc on July 1, 
1923.  He came to Kewaunee with his parents on June 1, 1925 and had been a 
resident of this community continuously from that time until he entered the 
military service on March 27, 1943.  He graduated from the Kewaunee High 
School with the Class of 1941 with a very fine scholastic and athletic record 
and later entered the employ of Frank Hamachek Machine Co., until called into 
the service of his country.  
He received his early military training at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri and 
later was stationed at Fort Collins, Colorado, and at Camp San Luis Obispo, 
California, before going overseas.
His father died on March 3, 1942 and his is survived by his mother, a sister, 
Mrs. Athinel (Elsie) Raquet of Kiel, and a brother, Major Clarence Feile, 
with the air forces of the army in Italy.  
The death of Sergeant Feile again impressed upon the community the tragedy 
of war and it brought sadness to the hearts of everyone. His friendliness and 
his modest and unassuming manner won for him the admiration and affection of 
a host of friends.  He exemplified the ideals of the ambitions of sturdy 
American manhood and his companions of school days and his associates of later 
years who knew him as the fine, upstanding young man that he was are deeply 
grieved in his untimely death.  Memorial services for Sgt. Feile will be held 
next Sunday afternoon at three o’clock at the Community Congregational Church.

CLARENCE FISCHER   cemetery #79

From Der Nord Westen, 01 Sep. 1904: 
An extremely unfortunate accident occurred last Thurs. in 
Town Kossuth. Louis Fischer operates a cheese factory there. 
The family lives above the factory. On that day, Mrs. Fischer 
left her 18-mo. old child alone for a moment to help her 
husband with his work. She heard a terrible cry of fear from 
the child and returned to the living quarters to find her baby 
engulfed in flames. It appears that the child had found a pair 
of her father’s old pants in which he had left matches in the 
pocket. The child found them, lit them and the clothing was set 
on fire. The mother put out the flames while the father drove 
his buggy the 8 miles to Manitowoc seeking help. Before the 
doctor could reach the place, death had claimed the little child.
(Note: The obit indicates it's a girl, but Clarence died on August
25 and that's the "last Thurs" in the obit.)
