FATHER JEROME JACOBS  SDS   cemetery #23

Born: January 15, 1905 - Died: June 26, 1973
Father Jerome Jacobs (birth name: Louis Otto) was born in 1905 in Pittsburgh, 
Pennsylvania. In 1925, two years after graduating from a high school seminary 
in his home state, he began studies in St. Nazianz, Wisconsin. After finishing 
there, he continued with his philosophy courses at Catholic University in 
Washington, DC, and he entered the Society’s Novitiate in 1931. He made his 
profession of vows on December 8, 1932. Upon completion of his studies for the 
priesthood, he was ordained in Cleveland, Ohio, on December 21, 1935. He taught 
in the seminary in St. Nazianz, and also served for a time as dean of studies 
and dean of discipline; then he became rector and Superior at Divine Savior 
Seminary in Lanham, Maryland, during which time he was also a provincial consultor.
In 1947, Fr. Jerome was elected Provincial. He set up his provincial offices in 
Menominee, Michigan, on the grounds of Jordan Seminary, serving the province in 
this capacity for two terms. He then ministered as rector and Superior in St. 
Nazianz; pastor of Good Shepard Parish in Sheridan, Oregon; and teacher at Mackin 
High School in Washington, DC. In 1959, he was re-elected Provincial and served 
another two terms, this time from the relocated provincial offices in Milwaukee.
It was during this second set of terms that the province's investment difficulties 
and great financial crisis began to surface. This crisis, most of which was out of 
his control, weighed heavily upon Fr. Jerome, and he longed for a less-stressful 
ministry. In 1965, he became pastor of Mother Mary Mission in Phenix City, Alabama.
Two years later, he moved just a bit further north to serve as pastor of St. Joseph's 
Parish in Huntsville. On June 26, 1973, just two weeks before he was set to retire 
from the pastorate, he died after a brief illness. He was buried in the community 
cemetery in St. Nazianz. He is remembered as a gifted and strong leader in the 
community, and a gentle pastor in his ministries.

ELMER JAECKEL   cemetery #89A

BOY KILLED AT TWO RIVERS AS HE HURRIES HOME
Elmer Jaeckel Struck by Chicago Auto on East Bridge
Elmer Jaeckel, nine year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand Jaeckel, was almost 
instantly killed Monday morning when he stepped from the walk of the East Side 
bridge, near the Hamilton plant at Two Rivers, directly into the path of an
Oldsmobile automobile driven by John O'Toole of Chicago. The boy was struck at 
the back of the head, felled to the ground and the rear wheel of the car passed 
over his chest. The car was stopped almost instantly, the injured lad taken 
aboard and rushed to Dr. Farrel's office but he was beyond human aid. His skull 
had been fractured and he died within a few minutes after the accident.
The accident occured as the Jaeckel boy was returing to his home from a visit 
to the Lutheran school where he had just received his promotion card to the 
second grade. The boy was hurrying home and in making a short cut crossed between 
the last two pillars of the East bridge only to step directly into the path of 
the Chicago car which was enroute to Sturgeon Bay with a party for a three weeks'
outing. Another car had preceded the O'Toole autombile and the boy probably did 
not see the second machine coming. The boy's eagerness to get home and tell the 
parents of his promotion was responsible for the accident and from the story of 
witnesses no blame attached to the Chicago party who were proceeding at a slow 
rate of speed and could not have avoided the accident.
John O'Toole the driver of the automobile, his wife, was a member of two car 
party and came to this city following the accident to make a statement to 
District Attorney Charles E. Brady. He gave his address as 4838 North ????? ?????, 
Chicago and said that they could be found at Sturgeon Bay for the next three weeks 
and would stop at Two Rivers on their return to Chicago. He was accompanied on his 
trip to the district attorney by Chief Schroeder who said that no blame attached 
to the party for the accident.
A coincidence is that the O'Toole party motored through Two Rivers three years ago 
and at the bridge where the accident occured were hailed for speeding by the chief, 
as they were going between twenty and twenty-five miles an hour. On this trip the 
driver was cautioned to go slow because of the condition of the bridge and the 
short turn ahead which was remembered by members of the party.
The death of the boy came as a severe blow to the parents as he is an only son. A 
sister, two years younger, is the only other child in the family which formerly 
resided in this city. Mr. Jaeckel is a mason contractor and has made his home at 
Two Rivers for a number of years.
The O'Toole party spent Sunday night at a local hotel and left the city late Monday 
morning, taking a leisurely gait on their trip.
City May Be Involved
A report here states that while on the remainder of the bridge a wire netting 
protects the pedestrian on the walk from the driveway and makes it almost 
impossible to step onto the driveway. This wire protection does not extend to the 
distance between the last two uprights, leaving one open space. It was through this 
open space that the Jaeckel boy darted to his death. Had the same protection been 
provided as on the balance of the bridge the accident could not have occured.

DELTON JAEGER   cemetery #8

Injuries Fatal To Boy Hit By Car on Highway
Delton W. Jaeger, 8, of the town of Centerville, died at Memorial hospital at 
Sheboygan this morning three days after being struck by a skidding car on Highway
141 a half mile north of the junction with Highway 149.
The boy's death was the county's first 1944 traffic fatality.
Word of the death was received here this afternoon and Coroner Theodore Teitgen 
was not immediately available so that a decision could be reached on whether an 
inquest would be held, although it was considered quite probable that one would 
be held.
The boy was struck Wednesday morning by the skidding car of Mrs. Harry Vogel of 
the town of Centerville, according to reports at the sheriff's office. He had 
been walking south along the east side of Highway 141. Investigation of the 
accident was made by Sheriff Elmer Bergner and County Traffic Officer Clarence 
Meihsner.
Details of the boy's injuries were not known but he had been unconscious from the 
time of the accident up to Friday morning when the last check up was made.
Funeral Tuesday
Funeral services will be held Tuesday afternoon, at 1:30 from the Stoltenberg 
funeral home at Cleveland and at 2 p.m. from the St. John and St. Peter Lutheran 
church with the Rev. Martin Braun officiating. Interment will be in the church 
cemetery.
Delton Jaeger was born May 12, 1935 in the town of Centerville, a son of Mr. and 
Mrs. William A. C. Jaeger.
Survivors are the parents; five sisters, three brothers (Survivors omitted for 
privacy.); and his grandfather, Julius Zastow of this city.
The body may be viewed at the funeral home from Sunday at 2 p.m. The casket will 
not be opened in church.

Plan Inquest In Death of Boy, 8
An inquest into the death of Delton Jaeger, 8, who died Saturday morning, three 
days after being struck by a skidding car on Highway 141 in the town of Centerville, 
will be held but a date has not been set.
Decision to hold an inquest was reached late Saturday at a conference between the 
cornoner, Dr. Theodore Teitgen, and District attorney John C. Danielson. The date 
was not set because of a possible conflict with the term of circuit cout.
The coroner's jury consisting of William Arends, Arthur Stuckman, Herman Lutze, Dr. 
George Huwatachek, Charles Horstman and Sam Hall, will be sworn in Tuesday morning 
at 9 a.m. at the Stoltenberg funeral home in Cleveland where they will view the 
body. Funeral services for the boy, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Jaeger, will be 
held Tuesday afternoon.
The boy was struck by the skidding car driven by Mrs. Harry Vogel of the town of 
Centerville Wednesday morning.

Coroner's Jury Clears Woman In boy's Death
Mrs. Hattie Vogel, 25, of the town of Centerville, was cleared by a coroner's jury 
today of any criminal negligence in the death of Delton Jaeger, 8, of the town of 
Centerville.
The jury, after deliberating over one and one-half hours, brought back a verdict 
that the boy died of an intercranial injury resulting from being struck Jan. 5 by 
the car driven by Mrs. Vogel on Highway 141, a half mile north of the intersection 
with Highway 149. The verdict went on to absolve Mrs. Vogel of any gross negligence 
or of such a high degree of negligence as to constitute negligent homicide.
The inquest got underway in the municipal court rooms shortly after 9 a.m. and was 
completed shortly after 10 o'clock after four witnesses had testified. The jury, 
composed of Karl Omsted, Charles Horstman, Dr. George Huwatschek, William Arends, 
Sam Hall and Herman Lutze, chose Dr. Huwatschek as foreman.
The Jaeger boy died at 9 a.m. Jan. 8 at Memorial Hospital, Sheboygan, where he had 
been a patient since being hit about 8:45 a.m. Jan. 5. Funeral services were held at 
Cleveland Tuesday afternoon.
Doctor Testifies
Dr. George Juckem of Sheboygan, who attended the boy, was the first witness called 
by Coroner Theodore Teitgen, who presided. He told of the intercranial injury which 
he described as damage to the brain tissue and blood vessels, and said that this 
was different than a skull fracture in that there was no bone broken. He said the 
boy sustained a contusion over the left eye and forehead and a contusion on the left 
hip.
Under questioning by District Attorney John Danielson, Mrs. Vogel told of the road 
being very icy the morning of the accident and said she was going about 20 miles an 
hour. It was snowing at the time, she said, when she was driving south on Highway 141. 
She said she noticed the children along the other side of the highway also going south 
and as a matter of precaution took her foot off the accelerator. This sent the car 
into a skid, with the rear end going to the west and then the whole car went across 
the highway.
4 Children in Group
Mrs. Vogel said there were four children in the group and that three moved back but 
Delton Jaeger did not. The bumper of the car hit him she stated, and then the car 
turned completely around and went against a pole.
A passenger in the car at the time, Mrs. Arthur Sexel, also of the town of Centerville, 
took the stand next and gave substantially the same testimony as Mrs. Vogel.
Last witness called was (private), 11, brother of the dead boy, who was one of 
the four children in the group. He told of seeing the car coming and said it was on 
its own side of the road and was not coming fast. The boy said not all of the children 
moved further back on the shoulder of the road when they saw the car skid.

DROWNS AT CEDAR LAKE
Cedar Lake was the scene of a drowning accident last Sunday, which caused 
the death of Hugo Jaeger, 25 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. William Jaeger 
of the town of Centerville.
The young man, in company with his father, and mother, brothers and sisters 
and three other families from the town of Centerville had come to Cedar Lake 
in the morning to spend the entire day at a family gathering. According to 
information at the lake, Jaeger had been in swimming for about three hours in 
the morning and again went swimming immediately after eating a hearty dinner.
He, in company with his brother, Clarence, had been in the water but a short 
time when he was heard calling for help. He soon disappeared after nearly 
taking his brother, who sought to rescue him, to the lake bottom with him. He 
was taken from the water within a few minutes by parties who dove for him.
Resuscitation efforts by the Boy Scouts, Dr. Belinski of Manitowoc, and Dr. 
Knauf of Kiel failed to revive him.
The brothers were swimming from a raft close to the shore, but where the water 
reaches quite a depth. Hundreds of people were at or about the lake at the time 
of the accident.
The young man was 25 years of age on March 9, 1926 being born in the town of 
Centerville in 1901. In addition to his parents he is survived by a sister, 
Adelheit at home and three brothers, Walter at Milwaukee and Paul and Clarence

MILTON JAEGER   cemetery #44

The distinguished flying cross was awarded recently to Second Lt. Milton A. 
Jaeger, 23-year-old Manitowoc Ninth air force P-38 Lightning pilot, who was 
reported missing in action follwing a dive-bombing mission near Dreux, France 
on Aug. 14, 1944.
The citation singled out Lt. Jaeger for his extraordinary achievement in aerial 
flight against the enemy from May to August, 1944. During this period Lt. Jaeger 
participated in many dangerous missions over northern and western Europe. His 
aerial proficiency and tactical skill were particularly marked by the aggressive 
manner in which he attacked and destoyed enemy installations, equipment and 
material in the face of great difficulties. In low-level attacks against the 
enemy he continually displayed great courage and brilliant leadership despite 
the hazards of intense enemy fire and adverse weather conditions.
Son of Mr. and Mrs. Almon Jaeger of Manitowoc, he was graduated from Lincoln high 
school in 1939 and received his wigs and commission in October, 1943.

ERNEST G. JAEHNING   cemetery #14

DESPONDENT FARMER ENDS LIFE WITH GUN
E. Jaehnig Jr., Aged 39, Centerville, Blows Top of Head Off In Barn This Morning
Despondent over financial matters, which his wife said, had preyed on his mind for 
some little time, Ernst Jaehnig, Jr., aged 39, town of Centerville farmer ended his 
life, in the barn on his farm shortly after eight o'clock this morning by placing 
the muzzle of his shot gun in his mouth and pulling the trigger. The charge blew 
the entire top of his head off. His body was discovered by his wife, who, hearing 
the shot from the kitchen of the home, where she was preparing breakfast rushed to 
the barn to find the body of her husband on the barn floor.
Dr. Reinhardt of Centerville was summoned, but an examination showed that Jaehnig's 
death had been almost instantaneous. He notified Coroner W.G. Kemper of this city 
who left for the farm, which is located a mile north and a mile west of St. Wendel 
to the town of Centerville. The fact that there were no powder burns on the face 
leads to the theory that Joehnig placed the muzzle of the gun in his mouth and 
there managed to reach down with one hand and pull the trigger. The gun lay a short 
distance from the body on the barn floor.
No Inquest
The coroner announced that it was a clear case of suicide and that there would be 
no inquest. The body was removed to the W. Ahrens funeral home at Howard's Grove, 
Sheboygan county. Funeral arrangements had not been completed but will probably be 
held Thursday or Friday.
The plight of the widow of the dead man was a sad one. She is left with four small 
children on the homestead farm by the suicide of husband and father. Before her 
marriage she was Miss Helen Roehl of Centerville.
Mrs. Jaehnig told the coroner when he visited the farm this morning that she had 
noticed that her husband had been despondent the past few weeks and seemed to be 
bothered with financial worries. He said nothing, however, when he arose as usual 
this morning and proceeded to the barn to do the morning chores. Her fears were 
aroused when she heard a shot from the barn and hurrying out found her husband 
dying with the top of his head blown off.
Born On Same Farm
The deceased was born and brought up on the same farm where he ended his life this 
morning. Besides his widow and four small children he is also survived by two 
brothers, Rudolph of Two Rivers, Route 1, Alfred of Sheboygan, and two sisters, 
Mrs. Edward Sixel of Marathon City, Wis., and Mrs. Walter Sommers of Mississippi.
Ernst Jaehnig, Sr., father of the deceased, also survives. He resides on a farm in 
Centerville, near the one occupied by his son.
