JACOB BERGER Retired Farmer Dies at 96; Never Drove an Automobile Jacob Berger, 96, retired farmer who never did get used to automobiles and stuck to his horse and buggy until advancing years forced him to remain at the homestead farm in Cooperstown, died last night. He had been seriously ill two weeks. He never drove an automobile. For years, Berger, in his surrey behind his faithful horse, Fan, was a familiar figure along the highways near Rosecrans. Horses always played an important part in the life of Mr. Berger, who spent more than four score years in Manitowoc County. For years he operated a thresher outfit in the days when the sweep power was propelled by horses. Despite his years, Mr. Berger aided in garden work on the farm now operated by his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Joseph Berger, until two months ago. Funeral services for Mr. Berger will be held Saturday at 8:45 a.m. from the Husar Funeral home in Kellnersville and at nine o’clock from the St. Joseph’s Catholic church. Burial will be in Greenstreet Cemetery. Mr. Berger was born in Bohemia in 1845 and when six years of age accompanied his parents to St. Louis. In a short time they moved to Chicago, where his father was a carpenter. The father did not like the city life and purchased some timber land at Cooperstown 81 years ago. He built a combination log cabin and barn. A few head of cattle were kept at one end and the elder Berger and his family lived at the other. When a boy only 14 years of age, the younger Berger went into business for himself. He acquired a threshing machine outfit which was operated by a sweep arrangement. Powered by three horses. That was in 1860. After four years he formed a partnership with three other Cooperstown youths and purchased a larger sweeper outfit on which six horses were used. The outfit did a complete job of threshing and cleaning. Berger acquired full control of the outfit, which he operated until 1873 when he purchased a larger machine. Later he acquired a steam engine to furnish power. In 1871 he married Miss Anna Worel. He helped her father on the farm and when the latter died in 1899, he took over operation of the farm. A new home and larger barn were erected. The farm grew to 160 acres and Mr. Berger continued active until a few years ago when he had two sons take control. In all those years, he stuck firmly to his horse and buggy and refused all suggestions that he switch to automobile travel. Mrs. Berger died in 1934. Survivors are two daughters, Mrs. Frank Opitchka of Wausau; Mrs. John Svec of Stratford, Wis.; three sons, Frank of Franklin; Anton of this city; Emil of Cooperstown; 36 grandchildren, 40 great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren. The body may be vied at the Husar funeral home.

LOUIS KRONFORST Maribel Man Meets Death by Electrocution on Lines High Falls Co. There Last Night Louis Krumforst (sic), 32, Meets Instant Death on Pole of Wire Line While at Work on Private Telephone Wire. Wife in Critical Condition. Death by electrocution was the fate of Louis Krumforst, an employee of the Maribel Lumber company at Maribel last night. The accident happened while Krumforst was making an investigation of trouble on the private telephone line connected with the High Falls Power company lines between Green Bay and this city. Just how the accident happened has not been determined though an investigation is being made by Manager Carlson of this city who was at Maribel at midnight last night following report of the death of Krumforst. The dead man was 32 years of age and is survived by a widow whose condition was reported to be critical today following collapse from the shock of husband's death. The private telephone line is used by the High Falls in reporting trouble on the cable line and has been taken care of at Maribel by A.R. Kant, manager of the Maribel Lumber company, who would then report the trouble over the Bell line to the superintendent. Trouble was noticed at 10 o'clock last night Krumforst as detailed to locate the trouble, climbed up the pole to the telephone box and was electrocuted. The main cable is six feet above the telephone wire and all wires were heavily insulated and just how the accident could have happened is not known. One theory advanced is that in swinging a wire of the telephone line, Krumforst threw it into contact with the cable and received the shock. No inquest will be held. Krumforst was well known at Maribel and his death was a severe shock to the community. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Saturday, May 11, 1918, Page 1 ********* STATE INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION HOLDS HIGH FALLS, $3000 Awards Highest Compensation Under Law For Death of Kronforst Killed Repairing Wires for Company In a decision received here Friday from the industrial commission at Madison, Mrs. Rose Kronforst, Maribel, widow of Louis J. Kronforst, 38, electrocuted on top of a pole at Maribel on May 10 of this year, while employed by the Wisconsin Public Service company is awarded the maximum amount, $3000 in addition to $100 for burial expenses. The case was heard here on November 1, by a member of the commission. Kronforst was employed by a lumber company at Maribel and with Manger Kant of the lumber company was engaged by the Wisconsin Public Service company to climb the pole near the office at Maribel, wherever there was trouble, to make a “cut out” so that it could be determined whether the trouble was located north or south of Maribel on the company’s power lines just between here and Green Bay. On this occasion Kronforst and Kant noticed sparks coming from the wires near where the “cut out” was always made and notified Supt. Zimdar here. He ordered that they make the cut out Kronforst climbed the pole and in some manner was electrocuted, fell from the pole, death being almost instantaneous. The action was brought by the widow, through her attorney, Healy & Joyce against the Wisconsin Public Service company and the Continental Casualty company which carries the insurance on the Public Service company employees. The defense maintained that the deceased was not a regular employee of the company but it was shown that Kronforst and Kant had been engaged by the Wisconsin Public Service company to do this work at Maribel at a certain specified sum for each time. As a basis of the award the local attorneys introduced testimonies showing the amounts paid “trouble men” by both the Wisconsin Telephone company and rural lines in the county, and the basis of the award was made on this testimony—four times the average yearly wages, $750 for this class of work. The $3000 award made by the commission to Mrs. Kronforst is the maximum allowed under the workmen compensation act. Manitowoc Herald News, Saturday, November 30, 1918, Page 4
