To Conduct Funeral Services The Woman's Relief Corps will take charge of the funeral of the late Patrick McCarty, war veteran and former local resident who died at Waupaca and whose body was brought here. The services will be held at the Pfeffer undertaking rooms tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock and all members of the Relief Corps are requested to be present. The Corps volunteered to conduct the service. Mr. McCarty had been an inmate of the Soldiers home at Waupaca. He died Sunday at the age of 80 years. E.S. Schmitz will deliver a brief eulogy for the dead at the grave. Mr. McCarty was for many years a resident here. Manitowoc Herald News Friday, February 8, 1924 pg. 2 ******** RULES ESTATE OF LOCAL MAN GOES TO HOME Vets Home to Secure Property Left by P. McCarty Under a ruling handed down by the state department at Madison, the estate of Patrick McCarty, Manitowoc county man, deceased, will go to the commonwealth as a bequest to the Veterans Home at Waupaca and relatives, of whom a number reside here, will not share in the estate. The ruling was handed down at Madison today in an opinion to Atty. L.W. Ledvine, of the firm of Nash, Nash & Ledvina, representing heirs of McCarty. The opinion holds that the Wisconsin Veterans' home at Waupaca is a "person" when an inmate of the home leaves part of his estate to the "the person I am staying with at the time of my death." the veterans' home, while receiving state aid, is a charitable and benevolent corporation, the opinion, written by Franklin E. Bump, assistant attorny general, held. Estate Value $300 McCarty, a veteran of the civil war, had been cared for at the Veterans Home at Waupaca for some time previous to his death and when his will was opened it was found that his property, said to represent a value of about $300, was bequeathed to the "person" who cares for me at the time of my death. The question was raised whether the veterans home could claim the estate under the terms of the will designating "person" as the beneficiary. The attorney general rules that in such case the home represents a "person" under the law. It is understood that no contest on the estate going to the state will be raised by relatives here.

Henry Markham was born in New York in 1840. Wounded twice in the Civil War, the young lawyer later came to California. A Republican, he served in Congress prior to campaigning for Governor as "the dashing colonel from Pasadena." He once came upon a woman and her son on the street who had just been evicted from their home for nonpayment of rent. He went up to the door and then walked with the boy to the corner, where he told him that he had seen a key in the lock of the door. When the boy went back to his mother they climbed the steps and found a $100 bill tucked in the keyhole. Meanwhile, Markham had slipped quietly away. California suffered a depression during Markham's term. As a means to attract visitors and new residents to the state, he pressed for a midwinter Exposition in 1894. The event was held in San Francisco and was a huge success. ******** HENRY MARKHAM FORMER LOCAL DIES SUDDENLY Was Veteran Of Civil War, Enlists In This City Henry Markham, former resident of this city, died suddenly at his home in Pasadena, California, yesterday morning.

He had been promoted to a first Lieutenancy and after his recovery from his would and the close of the war returned to Wisconsin, making his home at Milwaukee where he engaged in law practice, his firm becoming one of the leading in the Midwest. His wound, however became troublesome because of the Wisconsin climate and he was ordered to the coast where he made his home at Pasadena.

Mr. Mendlik's death occured much in the same manner as that of his brother John Mendlik who expired suddenly at Milwaukee last August. Mr. Mendlik had passed the day at home and was seated on the porch talking with friends when the sudden attack came upon him and before medical aid could be summoned, expired. Though 69 years of age he had enjoyed robust health and had given his personal attention to the affairs of his business, at the store on N. Eighth street, on Saturday. He had not complained of feeling ill and his sudden demise was a great shock to his family and friends. Had Mr. Mendlik lived until next month he would have been 69 years old, having been born in Bohemia in June 1843 at Potastan. At the age of seven years he came here with his parents and had made his home here since that time, with exception of a year in which he served in the army. Mr. Mendlik enlised in September 1862 in Co. F. Twenty-Sixth Wisconsin but was taken ill at Alexandria and sent to the hospital and on May 9, 1863 was discharged for disability and returned here, following an illness of typhoid fever.

MORSE CORNELIUS W. 1st VT Cavalry Company A Born: July 30, 1833, Burlington, VT Enlisted: Sept. 12, 1861 as Sergeant from Burlington, VT Promotion: July 16, 1862 to 2nd Lieutenant Mustered Out: Nov. 18, 1864 Died: Sept. 5, 1913 Cemetery: Evergreen, Manitowoc WI Gravesite: E2-70-1 Tombstone ******** This is a bio. sketch from "History of Manitowoc County Wisconsin" by Dr. L. Falge, 1911-1912, v.2, p.140-141. At the age of seventy-eight years Cornelius W. Morse is living retired in Manitowoc, where for many years he has been regarded as a valued representative and honored citizen. For a long period he conducted a general contracting business and at the same time was actively engaged in agricultural pursuits. His life has indeed been a busy and useful one and his history is well worthy of consideration, indicating what may be accomplished when one has perseverance and energy. He was born in Burlington, Vermont, July 30, 1833, the son of James and Catherine (Hutchins) Morse, who were also natives of the Green Mountain state, where they spent their entire lives, the father engaging in business there as a contractor and builder. Cornelius W. Morse was about thirty-two years of age when he left New England for the middle west. He had pursued his education in the public schools of his native state and had followed a general course of study by a course in law, reading under the direction of Senator Edmunds, of Burlington, Vermont. In 1860 he was admitted to the bar. His legal knowledge rested upon the broad foundation of the classical education which he had pursued in the University of Vermont, from which he was graduated in 1858. He entered upon the practice of law in his native state but following the outbreak of the Civil war put aside all business, professional and personal considerations in order to espouse the cause of the Union. He raised a company of infantry but before they were mustered into service he was taken ill and another was elected captain. In August, 1861, he joined the army as a member of Company A. First Vermont Cavalry, as a private and served until November, 1864. He participated in all the engagements in the Shenandoah valley with General Banks and also served under General Pope, General Hooker and General Meade. His regiment was under the command of Colonel Jonas P. Holladay, at whose death Colonel Charles H. Tompkins, of the United States army, took command. Mr. Morse participated in the battle of the Wilderness, in the sanguinary conflict at Gettysburg, and in the engagement at Cedar Creek. On the 16th of July, 1862, he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant and served with that rank until the close of his enlistment. He then returned home, where he remained all winter, suffering with the fever and ague as the result of his arduous military experience. The next summer, or in 1865, he came west to visit his sister, Mrs. H. Truman, who was then residing in Manitowoc. Here he embarked in business as a flour manufacturer, in connection with Mr. Truman, and afterward extended his efforts into other fields of business. He began railroad grading and following the construction of the line, was appointed the first station agent at Manitowoc, which position he filled for two years. He later became bookkeeper for J. Vilas & Company, with whom he remained for two years or more, when he became assistant foreman at the harbor, acting in that capacity during the construction of the harbor. Subsequently he began contracting in street building, in gravel work, etc., and did much for the improvement of the city as a street contractor. While thus identified with general contracting interests through a long period, he also engaged throughout the entire time in farming. When he began working on the harbor he purchased a tract of wild and undeveloped land, which he cleared and converted into a good farm. His property, comprising one hundred acres, was near Manitowoc Rapids and he superintended its cultivation and development while engaged in the conduct of various other business interests. At the present time, however, he is now living retired. Old age has come upon him and he deserves his well earned rest. He is still a well preserved man and in spirit and interests seems yet in his prime, for through reading and observation he keeps in close touch with the world’s work and present-day events of importance. In 1866, in Manitowoc, Mr. Morse was united in marriage to Miss Cornelia W. Vilas, a native of Ogdensburg, New York, and a cousin of Senator Vilas. Her father was Joseph Vilas, a farmer, who came from the east to establish his home in Wisconsin at an early period in the development of this region. Mr. and Mrs. Morse have become the parents of three children: Norman V., now living in Chicago; and Bowen B. and Helen V., both at home. Mr. Morse is a public-spirited citizen, interested in all that pertains to the general welfare. His political allegiance was given to the democratic party until Bryan came to the front as its leader, since which time he has cast an independent ballot. He has long been a faithful member of the Episcopal church and his life has been an upright and honorable one, winning for him the high regard and confidence of his fellowmen. For forty-seven years he has lived in Manitowoc and is well known as one of its representative citizens, his influence being always given on the side of progress, reform, justice and righteousness. ********* (Cornelius Wickware Morse/d. 5 Sep. 1913/cause: congestion of lungs & debility/ from record of St. James Epis. ch., Manitowoc) [bur. 09-07-1913/cause: old age/from burial records]
