REARDON, MICHAEL ACCIDENT.--Mr. Reardon, living in the town of Kossuth, met with a severe accident on Saturday last. He was engaged in clearing land, and at the time of the accident, was driving a yoke of oxen hauling a large log. The log struck a stump and rolled on his left leg, breaking it a little above the ankle. Mr. R. was brought into town on Sunday on accont of the bone being badly fractured and required great attention to prevent amputation. Manitowoc Tribune Thursday, June 18, 1868 pg. 4 ******** Mr. Michael Reardon a resident of the town of Kossuth, who had his left leg broken about three weeks ago, while clearing land, which was noticed in the Trribune at the time, died very suddenly of heart disease, on Sunday morning last at the residence of Mr. Fitzgerald, where Mr. R. has been taken care of since he met with the accident above mentioned. Manitowoc Tribune Thursday, July 9, 1868 pg. 4 ******** ANOTHER SEVERE ACCIDENT.- A distressing accident occurred to Mr. Michael Reardon, on his farm in the town of Kossuth, on Saturday morning last. Mr. R. was engaged in burning brush on some land that he had been clearing, and, at the moment aof the accident, was trying to get together some long logs that had burned in two in the middle. He had hitched his oxen to a heavy stick, when, upon starting them up, the butt end of the log caught against some obstruction, and the other end was raised and thrown over striking Mr. R, and fracturing his left leg, just above the ankle, in a most shocking manner. Dr. H.S. Balcom, of this village, who was sent for immediately, found the injured man suffering intensely. Both bones had been fractured and ground together, and one piece was protruding from the flesh. R. B. dressed the wound, and on Sunday Mr. R. was brought in to Manitowoc. He is now attended by his family at the residence of Capt. Mulholland, and under the professional care of Dr. Balcom is doing as well as could be hoped, considering the aggravated nature of his injuries. Mr. R. is an industrious, worthy citizen of the town of Kossuth, who is dependent upon his own exertions for his livelihood, and this misfortune is a sad pull-back to him and his family. He has many friends who wish for his speedy recovery. Manitowoc Pilot, June 19, 1868 P. 1 ********* SUDDEN DEATH.- The Pilot published, three weeks ago, an account of a severe accident to Mr. Michael Reardon, of the Town of Kossuth, by which the bones of his left leg were badly fractured near the ankle. He was removed to Manitowoc, and, under the care of his wife and Dr. Balcom, improved so rapidly that last Friday Dr. Balcom pronounced him so far recovered that surgical attendance would no longer be necessary, and Sunday was fixed upon for his return home. On Sunday morning, however, while apparently in the enjoyment of almost perfect health, and without a premonitory symptom, he fell back upon his bed a corpse-a victim of heart disease, to which he had long been subject. Mr. R. was much respected by his neighbors as an honest, industrious man. He was not in the best of circumstances, having experienced many drawbacks, and his family are left dependent upon the exertions of his son, who left an arm at Perryville. It is one of the saddest cases we have been called upon to record. The afflicted family have the earnest sympathies of our people. Manitowoc Pilot, July 10, 1868 P. 1

REHNKE, MICHAEL INQUISITION. An inquisition, taken at the town of Maple Grove in the county of Manitowoc in the State of Wisconsin, at the residence of one Michael Rehnke, deceased, in said town, on the 14th day of February, A.D. 1873, before Don A. Shove, Police Justice in and for the city of Manitowoc, in said County, with justices jurisdiction, upon the view of the body of Michael Rehake (sic) there dead, by the persons whose names are hereunto subscribed, who, being duly sworn to inquire, in behalf of the people of this State, when, in what manner, and by what means, the said Michael Rehnke came to his death; upon their oaths, do say, that the said Michael Rehnke died on the 12th day of February, 1873, at his residence in said Town of Maple Grove, and that his death was caused by injuries received in his person, principally to his back, which injuries were inflicted by one of the locomotives of the Milwaukee, Lake Shore & Western Railroad Company, called the "Ben Jones" then on the track of said Railroad, in said Town of Maple Grove, on said 12th day of February, 1873. That on said day and at said Town said Michael Rehnke carelessly stepped onto the track of said Rail Road, when said locomotive was in plain sight and only about 4 rods from where he stood and approaching him at about the rate of 10 to 12 miles per hour, and reamined (sic) on said track, without making any attempt to leave it, but commenced walking the same way the engine was going and was struck by said locomotive when the same was passing him, knocking him away from the track and inflicting injuries from which he, said Rehnke, afterwards and about 5 o'clock P.M. of the said 12th day of February, at the house aforesaid, died. That almost immediately previous to the time of said Michael Reknke (sic) stepped onto said track and when said locomotive was only about 400 feet from him, the whistle of said locomotive was sounded as a signal upon his stepping onto said track the whistle of said locomotive was successively and sharply, sounded, and the machinery of said locomotive was reversed immediately, and all possible measures were instantly adopted by the persons on said locomotive to prevent injury to said Michael Rehnke. That said locomotive was so near to where said Reinke (sic) stepped onto said track at the time he did so step onto said track, that it was impossible for the employees of said Rail Road Company to stop said locomotive and prevent said accident. That it appears that the sight and hearing of said Michael Rehnke was not impaired in any considerable degree at the time of said accident. That it further appears to this jury that neither the said Rail Road Company nor any of its employees were in any manner responsible for the accident to said Michael Rehnke. They further say that said locomotive was at the time and place of the injury to the said Michal Rehnke aforesaid, in charge of George F. Barker, a competent engineer, and Chas. Ramus, conductor. In testimony whereof the said Police Justice and the jurors of the inquest have hereunto set their hands this 14th day of February, 1873. Don A. Shove, Police Justice, Charles Bock, J.A.

REYNOLDS, MARY JANET (b. 03 Mar 1899/d. 15 Feb 2001/Manitowoc, Manitowoc, WI/SSDI) Born on March 3, 1899, in St. Paul, Minnesota, Mary Jane was ahead of her time. She wanted to be a veterinarian but her father would not permit it, as it would put her in contact with “a poor crowd.” Instead, she became a professional exhibitor, showing horses for other people. She also worked at Johns Hopkins Hospital taking surgical and autopsy dictation. Mary Janet voted in the first election in which women were allowed to vote. While there were voting booths for men, there were none for women, so the women’s votes were quite public. Mary Janet lives in Manitowoc near her nephew. She tells young people to get a good education: "this is more important than a lot of cash.” Photo From "The Centenarian Spirit in Wisconsin", interviews produced by the Wisconsin Bureau on Aging and Long Term Care Resources.

In tender years she removed with her parents to Hubbardtown Vt., where at the age of eighteen she was married to Dr. Robinson. For the last 26 years she has resided in Wisconsin - 20 years in Racine Co., and since 1864 in Manitowoc County. Her married life extended to a period of over 51 years. As a wife, she was a model. As the mother of six children, it seems enough to say, that of those who have died, and of those who survive, she had evidence that all were hopeful subjects of covenant mercies. She led her children one by one to the closet of prayer; and God answered her requests. A life in such beautiful harmony with her Christian professions, made one of the most charmingly modest of women, a constant, eloquent preacher of the Gospel of Christ. For such a one to die, all who knew her was gain. Manitowoc Tribune Thursday, September 8, 1870 pg. 1

ROMMARE, CHILDREN OF JACOB Melancholy Casualty. - The house of Jacob Rommare, in the vicinity of the Tannery, near Two Rivers, was burned down on Tuesday afternoon last, and with great sorrow we are obliged to state that two of his children - aged 5 and 2 - perished in the flames. The father was engaged at his occupation in the Tannery, and the mother was calling at a neighbor's but before leaving her house she locked the door. It is supposed that the children were suffocated by the smoke before the fire had communicated to their persons, a supposition, which if true, relieves the sad accident of one of its most horrible features. All the men working in the two tanneries were promptly on the ground upon the first alarm but too late to render any assistance.

ROZEZGUIATEE, MARTIN LOST ON THE SEA BIRD Information Relative to the Citizens of Manitowoc who were Victims of the Late Disaster. Thirty-One Persons Lost. In fulfilling the painful duty which devolves upon us at this time we have endeavored to present to our readers a correct report containing all the information in regard to the lost which we could obtain. We fear there will be some errors, but we have as far as possible obtained the statements of relatives or immediate friends of the deceased. We would that some other hand than ours--one better skilled in soothing afflicted hearts--might perform the sad office of saying comforting words to the distressed of our Village, but it may not be and we can only say to those who suffer, you have our heartfelt sympathy--and the sympathy of every person in Manitowoc. We have known your friends, respected them, loved them; and your loss is our loss. Let us hope that He who doeth all things well hath not permitted our friends to fall in vain. MARTIN ROZEZGUIATEE Was a Polander and not long from the old country. He had no family. Was also a deck hand. (Article continues in the same manner for each individual lost on the SEA BIRD; Geo. W. Emery, James A. Hodges, Capt. N.T. Nelson, Capt. John Sorenson, Charles Riechen, Joseph Doucett, Henry Nieman, Henry Pfeffer, James Leykom, August Wilde, Richard Flossbach, Amos Meyer, John Melka, Wm. Barter, Casper Klimer, John Foucks, Herman Jacoby, Wenzel Hawlichek, P.C. Danahy, Raymond H. Hunt, Fred Henning Jr., and Thorine Oleson.) OTHERS. We hear of others who were on the boat beyond a doubt--one a Norwegian who has been chopping wood in this vicinity, could not learn his name; and two girls from the country who took passage from here with the intention of going either to Milwaukee or Chicago have not been heard from since the disaster. So it will be seen there were Thirty-one from here certainly, and two doubtful, lost on the SEA BIRD. The Manitowoc Tribune Thursday, April 16, 1868 pg. 4
