ELTON CHAUNCEY GIBSON   cemetery #44

Elton C. Gibson, One Of First 3 City Mail Carriers, Passes Away
VETEREAN OF CITY CARRIER ROUTES DIES
Retired From Service in 1923; Born at Branch and Spent Entire Life in County
Elton C. Gibson, 75, one of the trio of letter carriers in Uncle Sam's 
service who took out the first city routes in Manitowoc, in 1893, when city 
free delivery was established here and who retired on a pension in 1923, died 
last night at his home, 618 North Sixth street. He has been in failing health 
for the past three months, but was able to be up and about until a couple of 
days before his demise.
Mr. Gibson, a resident of Manitowoc county since his birth and of this city 
since a lad of ten, was a mail carrier for over thirty years. He with Fred 
Rockhoff and Richard Rudolph were appointed the first city carriers here 
March 18, 1893, when the city carrier routes were established. He covered the 
entire north side of the city, the other two having their rounds on the south 
and west sides. Mr. Rockhoff is now retired from the government service, 
because of failing health while Mr. Rudolph, the third member of the pioneer 
letter carriers of Manitowoc, is still in the service.
Funeral Services Friday
Funeral services for Mr. Gibson will probably be held Friday afternoon from 
the St. Pauls. M.E. church, of which he has been a member for some fifty years 
and of which congregation he was trustee at the time of his death. Definite 
arrangements are awaiting the arrival here of his only brother, Eldridge K. 
Gibson, of Stillwell, Kansas, who is motoring here with his wife and son for 
the funeral.
The deceased was born at Branch 75 years ago, the son of Mr. and Mrs. George W. 
Gibson, pioneer county residents. The family removed to this city to reside when 
the deceased was a young man of ten years, his father engaging in the flour and 
feed business here. He completed his education in the schools of the city, took 
a business college course and was engaged in business with his father for a few 
years. He took the civil service examination for letter carrier in the early 
nineties and was appointed, and entered on his duties March 18, 1893.
Resided with Cousin
Mr. Gibson never married. For the past 22 years he has made his home with his 
cousin, Mrs. Alice Harrison, at the old Gibson homestead on North Sixth street, 
which was the family home for over three score years. Mr. Gibson was devoted to 
his church and never held public office except for serving for a number of years 
on the Second ward election board.
As the postal service grew in Manitowoc Mr. Gibson's route was gradually reduced 
until his territory covered a section in the Second ward. He retired Jan. 25, 1923, 
having reached the age limit. Since then he has lived a retired life.
One brother Eldridge K. Gibson of Stillwell, Kansas, and his cousin, Mrs. Harrison, 
are Mr. Gibson's sole survivors.

Miss Sarah "Aunty" Gibson died at the home of her nephew Elton Gibson 
618 North Sixth street, this morning following a brief illness. Miss 
Gibson has always been in the best of health and only a short time ago 
a celebration was held at the St. Paul's Methodist church in honor of 
her ninety-second birthday anniversary. News of the death will come as 
a shock and her passing is a distinct loss to a wide circle of friends.

to omit flowers in compliance with one of the last requests made by the 
deceased who always believed in flowers for the living.
Miss Gibson was born in Fitchburg, Mass., January 29, 1830 and came to

Branch and Kossuth. She has been a resident of the city for over sixty 
years and was the oldest member of the St. Paul's Methodist church. She 
always maintained a keen interest in church and community affairs.
"Aunty" Gibson's grandfather, Captain Reuben Gibson, with three of his 
brothers and their father, Capt. Reuben Gibson, Sr., were in the battle 
of Lexington and Concord in April 1775, the battle that marked the 
opening of the Revolutionary war.
In 1841 Miss Gibson, then a girl of 11, attended the dedication of the 
Bunker Hill monument at Bunker Hill, Boston, Mass.
Surviving Miss Gibson are her two nephews, Elton Gibson of this city and

Death Fri. of a 2-yr. old daughter of local resident Joseph Gill.

(Note: This is a judgement call. I asked the cem. office if this could be the 
right child and here is the reply:
"Burial Register has Phyllis Gill, Male (Not female which is probably an error), 
Age 2, born in Manitowoc, Cause Of Death:  Cholera Infantum
She is buried in the baby/children's section, and we have no record of who 
purchased those type of spaces that far back.
I don't show a Joseph Gill being buried here or owning any other spaces, but we 
do have other Gill's buried here.")

HENRY GLOE   cemetery #89A

From Der Nord Westen, 10 June 1909:
Death Sunday, following a long illness, of Henry Gloe in the residence of his
brother, August Gloe, where he had been staying for several months. The
deceased was born 08 November 1846 in Holstein, and came to America with his
parents as a 14-year old boy. The family settled in Two Rivers and he had lived 
there until his death. For more than 20 years Henry Gloe was the agent for Nord-
Westen in Two Rivers. We always found him to be a dependable businessman.
During that time he also wrote the correspondence that our readers always 
enjoyed. He leaves 4 children. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon.


HERMAN GLOE   cemetery #89A

From Der Nord Westen, 07 May 1896:
On Thurs. afternoon, Hermann Gloe of Two Rivers brought his life 
to an end by ingesting a quantity of carbolic acid. (The article 
goes into detail about the sequence of events beginning with his 
participation in the music at a marriage near Two Rivers the night 
before; and a dispute with his wife the next morning as to whether 
she had awakened him in time for work; and how his son had gone to 
the factory to clear his absence, then returned to find his father 
still in bed having drunk the poison; Dr. Currens being summoned 
too late.) The deceased worked in the lathe department as a foreman 
in the chair factory for 22 yrs. and was well thought of. He was a 
twice married man and there is much conjecture about his motives for 
ingesting poison. The deceased was born 28 Nov. 1857 in the vicinity 
of Eutin, Schleswig-Holstein, and so was only 38 yrs. of age. His 
funeral took place Sun. and Mr. Pahlcoetter delivered the funeral 
oration.

RANDOLPH F. GLOE       cemetery #89A

From the Two Rivers Reporter, Monday, March 8, 1948
 
Randy Gloe Taken Saturday; Was 51
Brilliant Instrumentalist III Four Years; Rites Tuesday
 
In failing health for the past four years, Randy Gloe, 51, one of Wisconsin's most 
widely known instrumentalists and a member of a famous musical family of Two Rivers, 
died at Wisconsin General Hospital in Madison at 8:30 Saturday night. He had been a 
patient there for the past three weeks.
Funeral services will be held in the chapel of the Klein & Stangel, Inc. funeral 
home at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, the Rev. M.J. Roehrdanz officiating. Interment 
will be in the family Plot in Pioneers' Rest cemetery. The body may be viewed at the 
funeral home after seven o'clock this evening.
                    Born in 1896
Randloph (sic) Gloe, familiarly known as Randy, was born in Two Rivers on November 29, 
1896, a son of the late August and Mathilda Kiefer Gloe. He graduated from the public 
grade schools here and had attended high school. When he was but a youngster in his 
early teens he displayed remarkable talents as an instrumentalist inheriting such 
talents from his late father, who was one of the city's outstanding violinists.
At the time Randy was developing for dance orchestral work, the Gloe brothers 
orchestra was then in existence. For his early training he went to Manitowoc to play 
with the Marine band and became a member of a Manitowoc dance orchestra. Shortly before 
World War I Randy returned to Two Rivers to become a member of the Gloe-Naidl orchestra, 
which included his twin brothers, Arthur and Archie, the late August H. Gloe, the late 
Joseph and Frank Naidl and Dr. A.R. Naidl now of Manitowoc. With this group he played 
trumpet and later included the saxophone. At various times he also played with both 
the Hamilton and Marine bands.
                     Joined Schubert Band
When jazz music became popular before World War I, Randy joined Schubert's Jazz Kings 
of Chicago and made an extended trip to the Pacific coast. A year later he rejoined 
the Gloe-Naidl orchestra as cornetist, saxophonist and vocal soloist. In the early 
twenties he spent one winter at Sarasota, Florida with the Ringling Brothers circus 
band, under the direction of Merrill Evans, who is still its leader.
Rejoining Gloe-Naidls, Randy remained with the well known dance band until it disbanded 
in the late twenties. Since, the late musician had his own orchestra, Randy Gloe's 
Aristocrats, which played out of Green Bay for several years. Returning to Two Rivers 
some 10 years ago he formed another orchestra which had been active throughout this 
vicinity until four years ago, when he was stricken with illness. At the time he was 
also an employe of the Hamilton Manufacturing company. Recovering somewhat from the 
affliction in the past two years, Randy became a member of Romy Gosz' widely known 
orchestra, playing with the group until he was stricken again in recent weeks.
                     Brilliant in Harmony
Randy Gloe's remarkable talents for harmony and improvising were the envy of countless 
musicians throughout Wisconsin. Often it has been the remark among musicians: "There's 
only one Randy Gloe."
Randy Gloe leaves his twin brothers, Arthur and Archie Gloe of this city, and a sister, 
Mrs. Clarence R. Becker of Manitowoc.

FRANCES KATHERINE GNADT   cemetery #21

(Don't have newspaper name, 1924)

Fatal Accident in Home of John Gnadt at St. Nazianz Friday Noon.
The explosion of a gasoline tank at the home of John Gnadt in St. Nazianz 
at noon on Friday caused the death of two children, very serious injuries 
to their mother and severe burns to their father. The two little daughters, 
Leona 5, and Frances 3, were so badly burned that the oldest died two hours 
after the tragedy and the other six hours later.
Mr. Gnadt brought from the basement of his home the gas tank of a gasoline 
stove which he wanted to take to the old mill, where a tractor school was 
being held. He was quite a distance from the stove when he shook the can to 
see if it was empty (which it was, with only a few drops in it). When shaking 
it Mr. Gnadt noticed a spark on the valve and he immediately tried to throw 
the can into the next room where nobody was, but it exploded before he got it 
out of his hand. A sheet of flame enveloped the room, and the two little girls 
who were near their father, where horribly burned and suffered terrible agony 
until death came.
The mother, who was nearby, received the full force of the explosion and the 
flames seared the flesh off her face, hands and lower limbs. According to Dr. 
W.A. Rauch, who was called after the accident, her condition is still serious. 
The husband with his head a mass of burns and the hand that held the can 
charred badly led his screaming family from the house and rolled them in a 
snow bank until he had extinguished the flames.
The report of the explosion was heard by neighbors who rushed to the Gnadt 
home and summonded help.
Gnadt is 35 years of age, and his wife 33. They had seven children. The five 
living range in age from a year and a half to 12 years.
The mother is still in ignorance of the fact that her two children are dead. 
She believes they are suffering from burns and confined in a bed in another 
room in the home.
The explosion of the gasoline can wrecked the stove and the interior of the 
kitchen. Had the other children been in the kitchen at the time of the blast 
they would probably have met with the same fate as Leona and Frances, the 
neighbors assert.
Mr. Gnadt is employed in the Miller hardware store at St. Nazianz and his home 
is in the village.
The double funeral of the two little girls, victims of the explosion, was held 
on Monday from St. Gregory's church and was largely attended. The bodies were 
laid to rest in one grave. Eight little girls were pallbearers and the Guardian 
Angel Banner accompanied the funeral from the house. Rev. Deibele officiated, 
while the big choir of St. Gregory's sang the High Mass.
