CATHARINE C. CARROLL

Mrs. Catherine Carol died last Saturday morning, in child-bed, at 
the age of 39 years and 11 months. She leaves behind a disconsolate husband 
and seven bereaved children, the youngest not yet a month old. This sudden 
bereavement is another admonition of the uncertainty of life and the constant 
nearness of death; but the deceased had lived a faithful christian life and 
died in perfect peace. Her funeral was one of the most numerously attended we 
ever witnessed, and a good evidence of the love and respect with which she was 
regarded by all who ever made her acquaintance.

ALICE MARIE CHERMAK

Alice Marie Simons Chermak, age 89, a resident at St Mary's at Felician Village, passed away peacefully on June 18th 2016.
Alice was born July 15, 1926 in Lima, Ohio. She graduated from St Rose High School in 1944. She attended the Cincinnati Art School and St Mary's of Notre Dame majoring in art. On May 20, 1950 she married Arthur T. Chermak in Lima, Ohio and then moved to Manitowoc, Wisconsin where they raised their family and were active community members. Alice was instrumental in supporting Art in the establishment and success of the family built and owned Cher-Make Sausage Company. Arthur preceded her in death on November 9, 2009.
Alice was a full time mom, and along with Art, lovingly raised four children, Jim, Chris, Ann and Tom. They were her pride and joy and she dedicated her life to them through supporting their activities and sports. No one could throw a better children's themed birthday party than her. Alice continued to live a joyful and full life with the companionship and support of her children through her final years.
Alice and Art were soul mates for nearly 59 years. One of their passions was travel. Together they traveled throughout Europe and across the country in their motor home, making life long friends wherever they went. For many years they enjoyed extended stays in Door County and Scottsdale, AZ. Even when traveling she stayed connected with home through endless postcards recounting their escapades.
Alice lived to be with people and she was always looking for ways to connect. Everyone she met was special and she could always bring a smile and a laugh with her grace, charm, compassion and quick wit. Every encounter was an opportunity to make a friend and so she was involved in many circles. She was a member of St. Francis Assisi on Waldo and served as a greeter. Alice was active in the community including volunteering at Holy Family Hospital and Rahr-West Museum. She was a member of the Service League of Manitowoc, Daughters of Isabella, The Masquers and the P.E.O. Sisterhood. Friendships were enriched on the golf course and at the bridge table. The circles grew as she played a role in the local production of "A Christmas Carol" and was an annual star in the St. Patrick's Day parade. She once said that her goal was, "to make a new friend every day" and that she did and for that we all are enriched!
Alice was creative and artistic. Her home was always festively decorated for every occasion and holiday. She carried her creative flair into her fashion and could spruce up any outfit with just the right accessories. She enjoyed taking painting classes and many of her paintings have been exhibited at various art shows.
Survivors include her four children: Jim (Leslie) Chermak Grafton, WI, Chris (Pete) Honzik Manitowoc, Ann (Don) Zimmer Englewood, CO, and Tom (Mary) Chermak Manitowoc; seven grandchildren, Alison (Dan Probst) Coulson, DJ (Megan Schmiedlin) Coulson, Sara (Noah) Pillsbury, Jeff (Meghan) Zimmer, Katherine Zimmer, Betsy (Bill) Baron and Bill Chermak; four great grandchildren, Sienna, Emma, Brandon, and Annabelle Pillsbury; her sister-in-law Betty and her husband Merlyn Hoefner, along with five nieces and nephews. In addition to her husband, Alice was preceded in death by her parents, Esther and Otmer Simons, her brother, Richard Simons, and granddaughter Jessica Chermak.
A celebration of Alice's life will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, June 23, 2016 at St Francis of Assisi on Waldo (1121 North 14th Street), Manitowoc. Officiating at the Mass of Christian Burial will be the Rev. David Beaudry, with burial to follow at Calvary Cemetery, Manitowoc.
The family will greet relatives and friends on Wednesday, June 22, 2016 at the Pfeffer Funeral Home, Manitowoc, from 4:00 p.m. until 7:00 pm. A prayer service will conclude the visitation at 7:00 p.m. The visitation will continue on Thursday morning, June 23, 2016 at the Pfeffer Funeral Home, Manitowoc from 9:30 a.m. until 10:30 a.m.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials be directed to the Rahr-West Art Museum or Tom Drill's Showtime which supports various local organizations.
Expressions of sympathy may be sent to the family by visiting www.pfefferfuneralhome.com Additional information for memorials can also be found on the site.
Alice's family wishes to extend a most heart felt gratitude to her many friends, Nurse Mary and the staffs at St. Mary's and Felician Village for their compassionate care and support.

Art was one of the original Board of Directors of the Manitowoc County Bank from 1965-1988.

LAWRENCE GAGNER (Cherney Lot)

ANOTHER RIVER VICTIM
The Manitowoc River claimed its fourth victim in this city Friday morning, Lawrence Gagner, aged 13, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Gagner, 910 North Twenty-First Street, was swimming with other boys near "Rands", a swimming place since time immemorial northwest of Evergreen Cemetery. It was noticed by the other boys soon that Lawrence had disappeared. Several larger boys soon brought the boy up and Boy Scouts attempted artificial respiration until the arrival of the police pulmotor. Life was extinct. Coroner Kemper said that the condition of the lungs indicated heart failure rather than drowning as the cause of death.  The funeral was held Tuesday with 9 o'clock mass at the Sacred Heart Church and interment at Calvary. The lad is survived by his parents and four brothers, Gerald, Joseph, Ward and Elmer and a sister, Clare Ethelyn.

MARY CHLOUPEK

A heart attack Saturday evening has taken the life of Mrs. Joseph Chloupek, the mother of our County Judge John Chloupek. The deceased, who was born 10 March 1838 in Castle Gregory, Ireland, as a small child came with her parents to Canada, then to Manitowoc in 1848 where they settled in Town Kossuth at a time when there were more Indians there than white men. When she was 16 she married Joseph Chloupek, her now surviving husband. About 14 years ago Mr. Chloupek sold his property in Town Kossuth and moved to Manitowoc and has lived here ever since. In addition to her husband she is survived by 4 sons and 2 daughters, as well as 4 sisters and a brother. The funeral was conducted Tuesday morning from Sacred Heart Church.
Der Nord Westen, 25 Nov. 1909
********
Mrs. Joseph Chloupek, mother of Judge John Chloupek, died suddenly last Saturday evening at 9:30 o’clock. Her health had been poor for some years but she felt as well as usual Saturday until about 8 o’clock when she was taken suddenly ill and rapidly grew worse until she passed away within two hours. Mrs. Chloupek was born in Parish of Castle Gregory, County Kerry, Ireland, and was 71 years of age. She came to this country with her parents when five years of age. The family settled in the town of Kossuth where the deceased grew to womanhood. She was married to Joseph Chloupek at Francis Creek at the age of 17 years. Her maiden name was Mary Sullivan. Ten children were born to them, six of whom are living, four boys and two girls. They are Mrs. Annie Kumbalek and Mrs. Laura Braun of Two Rivers, Judge Chloupek of this city, Atty. Erwin Chloupek of San Francisco, Dr. Charles Chloupek of Green Bay, Edward Chloupek, a student at the University in Seattle, Wash. Besides her children she leaves her husband, one adopted daughter, Maria, now married and living at Kaukauna, one brother John Sullivan of New London; and four sisters, Sister Aloysia of Silver Lake Convent, Mrs. Finnegan and Mrs. G. B. Wright of Chicago and Mrs. Thomas Grey of Kaukauna. She is also survived by 17 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren.
Mr. and Mrs. Chloupek left the farm in Kossuth 18 years ago and came to this city, taking up their home on Michigan Ave, where they resided ever since.
Mrs. Chloupek, though an invalid for years, never complained but was always of a happy and cheerful disposition. Her many admirable qualities of head and heart, her unfailing geniality, her broad and sympathetic nature and the model life she lived won for her the respect and love of a large circle of acquaintances. In her home the relations of Mrs. Chloupek were ideal: always kindly and considerate. She was devoted to her family circle. Her death in the fullness of years at the close of a long and useful life is a hard blow to her faithful and loving husband and to the children and grandchildren. She was a truly Christian woman and a faithful member of the Sacred Heart church, and though her last illness was brief she died fortified by the last rites of the church.
The funeral was held Tuesday morning from Sacred Heart church, Rev. J. T. O’Leary officiating, and his remark “To know her was to love her” is voiced by all her acquaintances. The burial was in Calvary cemetery. All her children except the two on the Pacific coast, her widow sister, Mrs. Finnegan, and her sister, Sister Aloysia, her brother and his wife and her other sisters and their husbands were present at the funeral. Peace to the soul of Mrs. Chloupek.

ANTHONY CHRAPIKOWSKI

Pioneer Is 90 Years Old
Ninety years ago today Anton Chrapikowski (photo) was born. On 
February 28, 1844, in Wejwery, Poland, he has his birthday, and 
in 1866 he came to America. Since 1874 he has been a resident of 
Manitwooc county, having operated the Plank road turnpike and toll 
gate northwest of the city from 1878 to 1898. He is now retired on 
his farm on the Plank road, near the city limits. He purchased the 
Smalley farm in 1874 when he came to Manitowoc county, and he 
purchased the Plank road turnpike franchise in 1878 and operated 
the pike and toll gate until bought out by the county in 1898.
Still in excellent health, Mr. Chrapikowski received a number of 
friends Sunday evening, friends who called to wish him well in 
anticipation of his birthday event. Because Mrs. Harry Kelly is 
the only one of the celebrant's children living in Manitowoc, a 
celebration of the birthday has been postponed. Possibly during 
the summer the family may get together for a celebration event.

Anton Chrapikowski, 91, Dies at Homestead
OPERATED OLD TOLL GATE ON PLANK OUTLET
Fled From Russia 70 Years Ago Coming to U.S. Where He Won Great 
Prominence
Anton Chrapikowski, 91, who came to this country to escape Russian 
oppression 70 years ago, and who for years operated the toll gate 
on the Plank road northwest of the city, died last night at the 
homestead. He had been in failing health for the last two weeks.
A linguist in demand in the early days by reason of his familiarity 
with court procedure, Mr. Chrapikowski in later years became a familiar 
figure in the city as he drove a horse and buggy to and from his farm 
home. When the automobile came he turned to this new method of travel 
and drove his own car depsite his advancing years, until three years 
ago.
Two weeks ago yesterday Mr. Chrapikowski made his last tip to the city. 
His heart action weakened and since then he had been confined to his bed. 
Funeral services will be held Monday at 9 a.m. from the Holy Innocents 
church. Interment will be at Calvary cemetery.
Born of noble ancestry near the city of Vinna on the Polish-Lithuanian 
border February 28, 1843, Mr. Chrapikowski joined the Russian government 
service while still a young man. He had an exciting early career.
Sister Exiled
Joining in a movement to overthrow the csar's government in Russia he 
had a narrow escape from capture and exile before he was able to leave 
the country in 1863. A sister and her entire family were exiled to Siberia. 
Mr. Chrapikowski first located in Pennsylvania where he remained for two 
years. He then cam to this county and operated a farm in the town of 
Centerville.
In the early days Mr. Chrapikowski become a lover of fine horses and 
performed services of a veterinarian for a number of farmers near his 
home.
It was in 1883 that the deceased purchased the Smalley farm and toll gate 
franchise on the Plank road, now Menash avenue, running out of Manitowoc 
toward Green Bay. For years he continued to operate this toll road until 
it was taken over by the conuty (sic) in 1898 and made part of the county 
system of highways.
Mr. Chrapikowski was a reader and a linguist. He was fluent in five 
languages and was in demand as a circuit court reporter and interpreter 
in the time of Circuit Judge Gilson. In the early days of court litigation 
an interpreter was a constant necessity.
Good Chess Player
Despite these varied duties he found time to devote to farming. He was a 
man of force and spirit and his home was the gathering place for many in 
the years that he operated the toll road. Years ago Mr. Chrapikowski 
received some attention as an adept at chess.
His survivors are his widow, who was Virgina Barzynski; two daughters, 
Mrs. Harry F. Kelly of this city and Mrs. F. Smietanka of Chicago; a son, 
Lieut. Col. Joseph E. Barzynski, U.S.A., now at Fort Knox, Ky., a nephew, 
Anthony Konsavage of this city; and a niece, Mrs. Marian Szukalski, 
Milwaukee.
The body may be viewed at the Wattawa, Urbanek and Schlei funeral home 
until the hour of the funeral Monday morning.

The following is Anthony's wife who is buried in Chicago:
DIES AT HOME OF DAUGHTER THIS MORNING
Widow of Old Toll Gate Operator, Mrs. Chrapikowski, Passes In Chicago
Mrs. Virginia Chrapikowski, 80, of this city, widow of Anton Chrapikowski, 
operator of the old toll gate on the Plank road northwest of the city, 
died at eight o'clock this morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J.F. 
Smietanka, Chicago, with whom she was spending the winter.
Funeral services will be held in Chicago Tuesday morning. She had been 
seriously ill for four days but had been ailing for two years.
Mrs. Chrapikowski was born in Philadelphia October 17, 1855. She was 
married in Chicago in 1884 to John Barzynski, well known Polish journalist. 
Mr. Barzynski died in 1889. In 1900 she was married a second time, to Anton 
Chrapikowski and came to Manitowoc to live shortly after.
Mecca For Notables
The Barzynski home in Chicago, during Mrs. Chrapikowski's first marriage, 
was a mecca to every Polish notable who visited Chicago during the 1880's 
and '90's. Mme. Medj?ska, famous Polish dancer, was an intimate friend of 
Mrs. Chrapikowski's and never overlooked an opportunity during their long 
years of friendship to keep in contact with her.
In Manitowoc, too, following her marriage to Anton Chrapikowski, her home 
was one of the best known in the city. Mr. Chrapikowski, born on the Poland-
Lithuanian border of noble ancestry, was prominent here as a linguist, 
particularly in court matters because of his familiarity with court procedure. 
He conducted the toll gate until 1898, when the Plank road was taken over by 
the county. Mr. Chrapikowski died at the age of 91 on June 29, 1934.
Mrs. Chrapikowski has been in ill health since the death of her husband. It 
was not until four days ago, however, when Mrs. Harry Kelley, the second of 
her two daughters, was called to Chicago, that her illness became serious.

Mr. Connell was employed as watchman for the Richards Irons Works, Goodrich Transit Co., and the Spindler Co., resigning from the latter position some two years ago and since then he lived a retired life.
Pat Connell was a man, whom everyone respected. He was a good neighbors and when he died, full of years, the sorrow that was felt over the close of his long career was sincere. His best monument will be the good report that he has left behind him. He was a devout member of St. Boniface Church and he exemplified by his honorable life the teachings of the golden rule. He believed that the man who scatters flowers in the pathway of his fellowman, who lets into the dark places of life the sunshine of sympathy, is following in the footsteps of his Master. No man in the county more fully enjoyed the respect of his neighbors. His death is regretted by all who knew him and the estimation in which he was held was attested by the size of his funeral.

RICHARD CONWAY

The eldest child of Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Conway--a son--died on Sunday morning 
after an illness of only a few hours, and was buried on Tuesday, the large number 
of friends of the family who attended testifying to the sympathy felt for the bereaved 
parents. Sympathy, although sincere, lacks much of being a sufficient balm for hearts 
which have sustained the shock that theirs have; yet aside from that which is 
administered from on high it is all that can be offered to bind up the wounds which 
Death, with his cold hands, has inflicted. Of such as it is, we beg to assure them of 
a full measure.

SOPHIA COOTWAY

CONTRACTS COLD VISITING SISTER WHO IS ILL, 
DIES ON DAY THAT OTHER IS BEING BURIED
Mrs. Tuft Cootway, Resident of County Many Years, Was Ill Only Two Days
When Death Claimed Her
A cold contracted when she was summoned to the bedside of her dying sister
during last week's blizzard, developed pneumonia and caused the death of
Mrs. Tuft Cootway, a former resident of this city who with her family has
resided on a farm on Route 6 for five years past. Mrs. Cootway's death
occurred yesterday, on the same day that her sister, Mrs. George Cutley,
of Rapids, was buried.
Mrs. Cootway was ill but two days before death claimed her. She had 
visited her sister's home at Rapids during the illness of the latter and
on Tuesday, after the demise of Mrs. Cutley, returned to her own home,
ill. Physicians summoned Wednesday found Mrs. Cootway suffering from
pneumonia and her condition grew rapidly worse and late Thursday, she
passed away.
Sophia Cootway, nee LaCount, was 60 years of age and had been a resident
of the county since girlhood; her family being among the earliest settlers
here. For years Mr. and Mrs. Cootway made their home in the city where Mr.
Cootway was engaged in the livery business but a few years ago returned
to the farm. Besides her husband, Mrs. Cootway is survived by three sons,
George, of Round Pond, Ark., Tuft, Jr., and Louis at home, and two grand-
children who made their home with the family since the death of their
mother nine years ago, Ella and Hillary Rice.

TUFT COOTWAY

This obit is for his son:
GEO. COOTWAY, AFRITE OWNER, DIES IN SOUTH
Former Livery Stable Owner On Buffalo Sttreet Was 68 Years Old
George Cootway, owner of Afrite, the only Manitowoc harnes horse 
ever to race on the grand circuit, died this morning at Memphis, 
Tenn. He was 68.
Mr. Cootway left Manitowoc 25 years ago to locate in Arkansas. He 
suffered an accident in the lumber camps there about 15 years ago, 
sustaining a broken neck. Since then he has carried his head and 
neck in a specially built brace.
The deceased, a son of the late Tuft Cootway, was born in Manitowoc 
and when he grew to manhood joined his father in the operation of 
the Cootway livery stables, located on Buffalo street on the site 
now occupied by the Dick Bros. bakery. It was a thriving business 
in the days before the advent of the automobile.
In addition to the livery stables the Cootways engaged in the raising 
of blooded racing stock.
Sent(sic) a Record
One of these horses was Afrite which established a record of 2:07 
1/2 for the mile, considered quite a record for harness racing 35 
years ago. After racing Afrite in the county fair circuits in 
Wisconsin and the middle west George Cootway took the horse on the 
grand circuit.
When Tuft Cootway, the father, retired from business to engage in 
farming in the town of Kossuth, George Cootway took over the livery 
stables and continued to operate them. Later he sold out to Rand and 
Cross and moved to Round Pond, Arkansas, where he was employed for 
a number of years by the Jones Lumber company. It was there that he 
sustained the neck injury that crippled him for the rest of his 
life.
After leaving Manitowoc, Mr. Cootway was married to Mrs. Anna Whitely 
of St. Louis. She survives with a step-daughter, and two brothers, 
Louis Cootway Route 7, Manitowoc, and Tuft Cootway, Detroit.
Funeral services will be held on Friday at Farmington, Missouri.

GEORGE COUTLY

PIONEER WHO WAS LOGGER AND RIVER DRIVER IN EARLY DAYS OF 
COUNTY DEAD AT RAPIDS
George Coutly, 84, Had Resided Here Since Boyhood Days and Knew 
Pioneer Life-Wife Dead a Year
George Coutley, early-day logger and river driver when Manitowoc county 
was sparsly settled and one of the oldest pioneer settlers here, died 
last night at his home in Rapids. Had Mr. Coutley lived until Feb. 24, 
he would have been 84 years of age. 
Coming to the county as a lad of 15, Mr. Coutley had made his home in the 
vicinity of Rapids for 61 years and knew the hardships of pioneer life from 
experience which he underwent when as a youth he labored with his father 
and other early-day settlers. Mr. Coutley was born in Canada. Mr. Coutley, 
for more than half a century, made his home on a farm near Branch, but seven 
years ago moved to Rapids. He is survived by four daughter, Mrs. H. Fricke, 
this city; Mrs. L. Wesner, Mrs. A. Halverson and Mrs. L. Gauther of Rapids. 
His wife died a year ago and her death was a shock from which Mr. Coutley 
never recovered. The funeral will be held Friday at 9 o'clock at Rapids with 
interment at Calvary cemetery here.

CECILIA CRANE

GIRL SEVERELY BURNED
Jessie Crane, aged ten, daughter of Mrs. Cele Crane, was seriously burned on the Fourth. The girl was celebrating with ordinary sparklers, thought to be harmless. Her dress caught fire and the blaze was extinguished, it was supposed. She ran out into the yard and a breeze must have fanned into a blaze some remaining fire and she was soon enveloped in flames. The accident occurred at the home of John Egan at 1415 South Fourteenth Street. Mrs. Egan did what she could. She threw herself on the child and tried to beat out the blaze with her hands; she suffered bad burns. The child had bab burns about the body and legs.

JERRY CROWLEY

Died, at Manitowoc on the 16th inst., at 8 o'clock A.M., Jeremiah Crowley, aged
41 years.
When the above sad news reached Calumet county last week a general feeling of
sadness prevailed, as poor Jere was well known and much respected by a host of
friends who would gladly have turned out to pay their last tribute of respect
to his remains. As an evidence of the regard in which he was held the flags on
the shipping and public buildings of Manitowoc were displayed at half mast while
the several printing offices were draped in mourning. The procession which
followed his remains to the cemetery was over half a mile in length and was in
the following order:
1. Cornet Band in wagon:
2. Fireman in full dress.
3. Hearse guarded by the editors of the county press, as bearers.
4. Carriages with family of deceased.
5. Carriages with the printers of The Pilot, Tribune, Nord Westen and Zeitung.
6. The city authorities and county officers.
The following are extracts from the Manitowoc papers in relation to the deceased:
The Pilot says:
"Our readers already know of his lingering illness. For the last two years he
has been slowly passing away - drifting nearer and nearer towards that haven of
rest, prepared for him and us. He retained the full powers of his vigorous mind,
until about fifteen minutes before the end, then passed quietly and peacefully
away.
"The rites of his own church were administered to him, and in the full confidence
of a life long faith, and with a willingness and readiness to bid farewell to
earth, he fearlessly entered the "dark valley and shadow of death," believing 
that over there, where he was going, all would be well with him - that there he
would find that rest which awaits all of earth who have suffered and toiled. And
he will find it.
"The readers of The Pilot will remember his short farewell to them but they can
hardly realize the pain it gave Jere to give up forever the pride, the toil and
labor of years. He saw it all melting like snow before a summer sun - saw, but
had no power to prevent.
"He could not revoke the stern decrees of nature. But hope had not yet abandoned
him. And we promised him when we bought The Pilot, that he should have it back at
any time that he thought himself in health sufficient to attend to it.
"And from that time until his death continued slowly, but surely, towards the end.
And yesterday all that remained of him on earth was carefully and respectfully
carried to its last resting place. And there let it remain in peace. The cold earth
will never open to receive a warmer heart.
"May his virtues and his labors be remembered gratefully by the people of our city
and county, in whose behalf no man has labored more zealously, than has
JERE CROWLEY.
"The ceremonies at the grave as well as at the church, were conducted by Rev. Father
Fetzler, of the Catholic church of this city."
The Tribune referring very aptly remarks that: "An honored and eminent citizen is
gone. Our community, our County, our State mourns the loss of a man whose energy,
purpose and enterprise, have in an unusual degree affected the interests of each of
them. Death pauses not by those who are the instruments of great good and great
influence among their fellows, it waits not for silver haired and decripid(sic) age,
for the accomplishment of purposes, the consumation of enterprises, or the fruition
of hopes, but lets fly its unfailing fatal dart while hope, plan and power are yet
on the wing. Mr. Crowley was born in Bare Haven, County of Cork, Ireland, in 1829,
came to this country in 1849, and shortly after entered a printing office in
Milwaukee. Thence he became editor successively of the Menasha Advocate the Oshkosh
Courier, and the Manitowoc Pilot. During the years 1856 and 1857 he was Assistant
Attorney General of this State. During the last ten years of his life he has nearly
all the time been the occupant of some import-position of trust in his county. His
early education in books was limited, never having attended any but an evening school
for the short space of six months. That capacious and systematized knowledge of 
practical facts, that remarkable penetration into the motives and designs of men,
that sound and summary judgement, which made him a leader of his party in politics,
and of the public in great and beneficial enterprises, were the acquisitions and
wealth of an active and brilliant mind schooled in the school of the world. As an
editor Mr. Crowley was a public spirited man in the true sense of the term, and
always judging, not from mercenary motives, but from the intrinsic principles of
justice, what position he should take with regard to public measure, he took that
position promptly and lent his almost boundless sympathy. His composition was 
nervous, pungent and flowing; not excessively set and ruleable, but somehow permeated
with the genius of human instincts; not of that slow logical sort which convinces
opponents one by one and reaches only the few of learning and brain, but that which
is appreciable by all that which strikes the key note and sweeps the masses. Although
he has not occupied the editorial chair as long as many of the profession, yet with
perhaps one exception Mr. Crowley was the best known editor in the State. As a
politician he was eminently successful, so intense and changeless and incorruptible
was his zeal, that that, and that alone in very many instances won the success of 
his favorite measure. His history has not been like that of some men who, one day
obscure, the next day by some sudden and peculiar convention of circumstances find
themselves raised to giddy heights of honor; or like others who once in a great
whild do something which entitles them to the admiration and honor of their fellow
men; but from his early youth his active sympathy and largeness of soul have caused
him to put laborious hands to every new idea and every successive scheme and means
of public improvement. For him it was not enough to be State politician, editor of
a widely circulated newspaper; for several succeeding terms he controls and organ-
izes up the county schools and at the same time projects his tireless and insinuating
energy into scores of other lesser means of public aggrandizement. The great and the
small and the widely various are incalculably indebted to his energy. It is the 
universal encomium that he has done more for Manitowoc county than any other man who
has ever lived in it. The benefits which he has rendered his fellow men are scarcely
commensurate with any emoluments which might have been conferred upon him. But he is
gone, he has been cut off in the prime of life and in the midst of his usefulness,
and thousands of minds not only in this community but throughout the State are brooding
over his uncommon record to-day, and thousands of hearts are deeply moved in gratitude
to him."
The Nord Westen concludes its obituary notice by saying that he "was looked upon at
Manitowoc as one of the most gifted leaders of the democratic party and filled many
important county offices for a number of years. His disease compelled him at last to
give up the editing of his paper in order to enable him to take better care of his
health."
Poor Jere, we loved him as a brother and his loss is keenly felt. A truer or more
reliable friend in every emergency we never met with, and while we drop a tear to his
memory our thoughts cannot help flowing to the desolate home and the bereft widow and
orphans. It is well known among Mr. Crowley's acquaintances that he was generous to a
fault and charitable to the extreme, and had he but a dollar in his pocket he would
share it with a friend. As a consequence his worldly wealth was not large, and it
behooves the generous people of Manitowoc to make a generous provision for the support
and education of a family whose protector has been taken away, who while in ife done
so much to advance the interests of the citizens of the whole county. This will prove
consclusively whether our late friend's many valuable public services are appreciated
or not:
He has gone in the language of the Rev. Mr. Ryan:
Out of the world of the wailing
Thronged with anguished and ailing,
Out of the world of the sad;
Into the world that rejoices -
World of bright visions and voices,
Into the world of the glad.
 
Out of a life ever lornful,
Out of a land ever mournful,
Where in black exile we roam;
Into a joy land above us,
Where there is a Father to love us -
Into our "Home-Sweet Home."
But the many kind deeds and friendly acts of Jere Crowley should never be forgotten
by his friends.

From the Files of the Pilot – Fifty Years Ago – 1870 
Death of Jere Crowley
He died about 3 o'clock last Monday morning. Our readers already know of his lingering illness. For the last two years he has been slowly passing away, drifting nearer and nearer towards that haven of rest, prepared for him and us. He retained the full powers of his vigorous mind, until about fifteen minutes before the end, then passed quietly and peacefully away. The rites of his own church were administered to him and in the full confidence of a life long faith and with a willingness and readiness to bid farewell to earth, he fearlessly entered the “dark valley and shadow of death”, believing that over there, where he was going, all would be well with him – that there he would be free from pain and find that rest which awaits all on earth who have suffered and toiled. And he will find it.
Mr. Crowley was born in Cork, Ireland in 1829 and came to this country with his parents in 1849 and immediately commenced to learn the printer's art. He was then 20 years of age and such was his energy and ability that in three years he had so thoroughly mastered his profession that he was regarded as the best compositor in the state. At that time (1852) he started his first newspaper, the Neenah Advocate – but shortly after in 1853, he removed to Oshkosh and started the Oshkosh Courier. Both papers, while Crowley was at the helm, took high rank as local papers. On the 14th of July, 1859, Mr. Crowley came to our county and commenced the publication of the Pilot. He came here when our city and county were poor and thinly populated. He et with active strong opposition from political enemies of course and in addition thereto the democracy of the county, owed partial allegiance to the Herald, a Democratic paper already established. But in the face of these difficulties and without money, but with a determination and ability unsurpassed in the history of newspapers, he went to work and day by day, saw the Pilot growing in power and strength and support and in 1863 he had annihilated his opponent – the Herald – and saw it among the things of the past. He continued at the head of this newspaper until the spring of 1868 when poor health compelled him to relinguish for a short time his editorial duties. The readers of the Pilot will remember his short farewell to them, but they can hardly realize the pain it gave Jere to give up forever the pride, the toil and labor of years. He saw it all melting like snow before a summer sun – saw, but had no power to prevent. He could not revoke the stern decrees of nature. But hope had not yet abandoned him. And we promised him, when we bought the Pilot, that he should have it back at any time that he thought himself in health sufficient to attend to it.
For some time until his death he continued slowly but surely towards the end. And yesterday all that remained of hi on earth was carefully and respectfully carried to its last resting place. And there let it rest in peace. The cold earth will never open to receive a warmer heart. May his virtues and his labors be remembered gratefully and by the people of our city and county in whose behalf no man has labored more zealously, then Jere Crowley.

of 1234 S. Sixteenth street, died in a fire at her home shortly after 2 o’clock 
this afternoon. Physicians were still conducting an examination at the hour of 
going to press but death was declared due to burning and suffocation.
Crippled for a number of years as a result of a serious fall, Mrs. Cuthbert 
was apparently unable to make her escape when the flames enveloped the 
davenport in the living room of the home in which she lived with her husband, 
also a sufferer from physical infirmities.
Alone at Time
From persons at the scene of the fire, it was learned that Mrs. Cuthbert
was alone in the home at the time while her husband was engaged at his 
place of employment in the rolling mills of the Aluminum Goods
Manufacturing company. 
It was believed that Mrs. Cuthbert was using an electric pad or some 
other appliance and that she fell asleep while the current was still on. Fire
resulted and it is thought that when she awoke she was unable to make
her escape.
The body was badly seared and her clothes were burned from her body.
Investigation Expected
Authorities ere summoned to the scene of the fire as soon as it became 
apparent that Mrs. Cuthbert was dead and it is expected that an
investigation will be launched.
Cause of the fire was expected to be definitely determined after an 
examination of the davenport.
Ran Millinery Store
Mrs. Cuthbert who previous to her marriage some years ago was Theresa 
Vollendorf, was for many years engaged in the millinery business, with a 
shop on North Eighth street in the building now occupied by the branch 
of the Wisconsin Shine Company. She was well known and for years 
maintained the business and later as married to Mr. Cuthbert. After the 
marriage of the couple they continued their residence above the store 
but Mrs. Cuthbert disposed of the business and leased the store.
Mr. Cuthbert was injured in an accident in his employment as a railway
man with the North Western and for a long time was unable to get 
about. Some years later Mrs. Cuthert also sustained an injury that 
crippled her when she fell from a porch at her home and suffered an
injury to her spine that left her an invalid. She had been able to get 
about only by use of crutches and lately had been almost helpless. 
Mrs. Cuthbert is about  53 years of age and is survived by sisters 
and brothers here.

MRS. CUTHBERT TO BE BURIED HERE SATURDAY
An examinaton of the charred remains of the davenport on which Mrs.
Dudley Cuthert was burned to death yesterday afternoon in the family
home at 1234 South Sixteenth street failed to substantiate a theory 
advanced yesterday that an electric heating pad may have started the 
fire, it was said by officials of the fire department today.
Cause of the blaze will probably never be definitely determined and
it is thought that Mrs. Cuthbert may have fallen asleep while smoking 
on the davnenport and the sparks may have caused the conflagaration.
Mrs. Cuthbert was a life-long resident of this city and was born here 
September 15, 1879. She was for years one of the reigning belles of 
the city and was widely known among residents of 30 and more years 
ago. Sixteen years ago she married Mr. Cuthbert who is her only 
immediate surviving relative.
After the fire the body was removed to the Shimek & Schwartz  
mortuary on North Eighth street and it will rest in state there until time 
of services tomorrow. The mortuary will remain open this evening after 
7 o’clock to permit friends to view the remains.
Funeral services will be held at the mortuary at 8:30 o’clock from the 
St. Boniface church and 9 o’clock tomorrow morning with Father 
Kessten officiating. Burial will be made at Calvary Cemetery.

BADLY HURT IN FALL
Mrs. Cuthbert, better known perhaps by her former name, “Tressie” Vollendorf, 
was severely injured in a fall of twenty feet from a flat roof in the rear of her second 
floor residence on North Eighth street last week. The roof was used for clothes 
drying purposes and in working there a railing gave way precipitating Mrs. Cuthbert 
to the ground. The last report are that she suffered a fractured wrist and injuries to 
her spine that resulted in partial paralysis, the outcome of which is still uncertain.
