JOHN E. KRAEMER   (d. 1926)  

JOHN E. KRAEMER DIES SUDDENLY
WELL KNOWN BUSINESSMAN IS STRICKEN
Death Comes with But Little Warning Early Sunday Night
Almost with no warning and while he was apparently recovering 
from a slight attack of illness earlier in the day, death came to John 
E. Kraemer, well known restaurant man at his home on South Eighth 
street early Sunday night. News of his death came as a great shock 
to the community, being wholly unexpected as Mr. Kraemer was 
about earlier in the day and late in the afternoon had been at his place 
of business. Mr. Kraemer was 38 years of age.
In his usual health Sunday, he had suffered an attack of indisposition 
about 4 in the afternoon and had been attended by Dr. Donohue, his 
physician, but the attack was not thought serious, although Mr. 
Kraemer was advised to rest and remain quiet. He retired to his 
room in the flat above the Kraemer restaurant and at 7 Mrs. Kraemer 
had been with her husband but had been called downstairs by a rush 
in the restaurant. Shortly before 8 when she returned to her husband’s 
room, she was unable to arouse him and it was found that he had 
passed away, death being due to heart failure.
News is Shock
News of the death of Mr. Kraemer spread rapidly and friends 
were scarce able to accept it as authentic, having known him as a 
man of apparent robust health and about as usual during the day. 
Less than an hour previous to his demise Mr. Kraemer had sent his 
daughter to the store of Archie Taubert for tobacco and Mr. 
Taubert was summoned when the family found Mr. Kraemer 
unconscious and discovered his death. Mr. Kraemer’s death occurred 
sometime between 7:15 and 8 o’clock.
Was Born at Kewaunee
“Jack” Kraemer, as he was familiarly known, was one of the best
known younger business men of Manitowoc and for several years 
had conducted a restaurant in the Beers building at the south 
approach of Eighth street bridge. He was a native of Kewaunee 
county, born there August 11, 1888. Later he located at Two 
Rivers and then came to this city here for years he was steward at 
the Elks Club and later took over the Charles Beers café which he 
conducted a a restaurant after the prohibition amendment was 
passed. He was an ardent sport fan and for two or three seasons 
financed a foot ball team and basket ball team in the city and was 
a devotee of the cue, participating only recently in the tournaments 
held in the city. He possessed a pleasing personality and had a host 
of friends with whom he was popular. He was a member of the 
Eagles lodge and of the Knights of Columbus.
Mr. Kraemer was married fifteen years ago and is survived by his 
wife and three children, Monica, Alice and Evelyn, all at home. His 
mother, Mrs. Anton Kacerovoski, of Kewaunee, together with one 
brother …(line folded over)…of Kewaunee and four half sisters, 
Mrs. William Timlin, Mrs. John Kesler and Miss Marie Kacerovski, 
Milwaukee and Mrs. John Webb, of Detroit, also survive.
Funeral on Wednesday
Funeral services for Mr. Kraemer will be held Wednesday morning 
at 9 from St. Boniface church and it is expected that the Rev. 
William Kraemer, an uncle of Algoma, will be here to officiate. The 
body was removed to the Urbanek and Wattawa undertaking parlors 
today and will be in state at the chapel there after 4 this afternoon. 
Friends may view the remains after that hour and up to 9:30 this 
evening and all day tomorrow. Burial will be at Calvary.

ELIZABETH KUHL   

DEATH COMES WITH NO WARNING OF APPROACH
Death, sudden and wholly unexpected, came to Miss Elizabeth 
Kuhl, a life long resident of the city, at her home, 1413 Clark street, 
Sunday night, Miss Kuhl having been stricken while seated in a chair 
conversing with her brother Joseph Kuhl who made his home with
her. Mr. Kuhl hastened to a physician’s office and returned with 
remedies which had proved effective in former attacks suffered by 
his sister but which appeared to give no relief and he made a second 
hurried visit to summon the physician but before his return, Miss Kuhl 
was beyond earthly aid.
Although Miss Kuhl had not been well for two years, being a sufferer 
from bronchitis, her condition had never been alarming and she was 
in her usual health Sunday evening when friends called to visit her 
brother and she assisted in entertaining them. The visitors left early in 
the evening, owing to the storm, and a short time later, Miss Kuhl was 
seized with the sudden attack which ended in her death.
Miss Kuhl was born in this city September 2, 1851 and had always 
made her home here. She had a large circle of friends to whom the 
announcement of her death will come as a great shock and she will 
be sincerely mourned. A year ago Joseph Kuhl, of Atkinson, Kan., 
came here to make his home with his sister, following reports of her 
illness and had remained here.
Five sisters and four brothers survive Miss Kuhl, being Mrs. Joseph 
Auermiller, August, John and Joseph Nich Kuhl, this city, Mrs. Francis 
Mitchell, Mrs. Ida McComas, of Los Angeles, Cal., Miss Josephine 
Kuhl, of Portland and Michael Kuhl of Cottowood (sic), Kansas.

KULNICK DIES ON VACATION IN THE SOUTH
Identified With The Brewing Industry In Three Cities; Was Berlin Mayor
Charles Kulnick, 67, of 1104 Lincoln boulevard, identified with the 
brewing industry in this city, Berlin and Menasha for nearly 50 years 
and former mayor of Berlin, died early Sunday at Vero Beach, Florida, 
where he had gone with his wife and daughter to spend the winter.
Mr. Kulnick has been in failing health for several months. He suffered a 
heart stroke last April on the day his sister, Mrs. Robert Lill, was buried. 
He rallied from this attack and was able to be up and around. Two weeks 
ago he contracted a slight cold and he decided to go to Florida for the 
remainder of the winter. Accompanied by his wife and daughter, Mrs. 
Paul Serff, of Detroit, Mr. Kulnick left here a week ago Saturday.
Died In His Sleep
Messages from Florida yesterday said Mr. Kulnick was taken with 
another sinking spell late Saturday and died in his sleep early Sunday.
Funeral services will probably be held Thursday at 9 a.m. from the Holy 
Innocents church. Burial will be in Calvary cemetery. The body will arrive 
here Tuesday evening and will be moved to the Wattawa, Urbanek and

Mr. Kulnick, who headed breweries in Menasha and Berlin at the time 
of his death and who has recently disposed of his holdings in the Kingsbury 
Breweries company here, was active since 1888. He started his business 
at 18 when he worked for the old Schreihart brewery in this city.

Mr. Kulnick was graduated from the Milwaukee Chemical School of 
Brewing. In 1901 he moved to Berlin, Wis., to found the Berlin brewing 
company there. He was elected mayor of that city and served two terms.

manager of the Schreihart Brewing Co.

He was active in consolidation plans that united the Schreihart company, 
the Kunz-Bleser Brewing company and the Rahr Brewing company in 
one company under the name of the Manitowoc Products company. He 
was the first president of that company.
A number of years ago Mr. Kulnick returned to Berlin to take over active 
management of his brewery interests there. He also operated a furniture 
store in Berlin. When the Kingsbury Breweries company was organized 
he retained his stock and for a time was vice-president of the company.
In 1934 he purchased the Walter Brothers brewery at Menasha, now 
operated by his sons, Dr. Victor and Norman Kulnick. The new firm 
was incorporated for $100,000. Mr. Kulnick was named president of 
the Menasha brewery although he continud to make his home in this city.
For many years Mr. Kulnick has been a director of the Manitowoc 
National bank.
His other affiliations include membership in the Elks and Eagles and also 
in the Lakeside Country club, Manitowoc and the Berlin, Wis. Country 
club. For years he was one of the active members of the Turners society,

AFTER GLOW
I'd like the memory of me
to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an afterglow
of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo whispering
softly down the ways.
Of happy times and laughing times
and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve,
to dry before the sun,
Of happy memories that I leave when life is done.

JAMES J. KUPLIC   

Kuplic, Former Police and Fire Chief, Dies
MANITOWOC—James J. Kuplic, who for almost half a century served 
this city in two of its most important departments, died early Friday 
morning at home, 1113 N. Eighth St.
Mr. Kuplic, who was 72, had finished breakfast when he was stricken. 
It was believed he had a heart attack. His health had been good and he 
had been in the downtown area visiting several days before. 
The native of Oconto County lacked less than a month to have completed 
50 years of service to the city. When he retired Oct. 31, 1957, he was 
chief of the Police Dept. He joined the Fire Dept. Sept. 13, 1908, as a 
call man.
Came to City in 1908
Mr. Kuplic was born Nov. 1, 1887, at Spruce, son of the late Joseph 
and Mary Kuplic. He was educated at schools at Spruce and came to 
Manitowoc in 1908. It was while he was employed by Manitowoc 
Shipbuilding Inc., that he also became a call man, a man subject to call 
to help fight a fire when additional personnel was required by the department.
He became a regular Fire Dept. employe May 1, 1909, was appointed 
a lieutenant Feb. 1, 1910, became a captain April 1, 1911, and an 
assistant chief a year later. He was appointed fire chief Nov. 1, 1926, 
when the late John Kratz retired.
Mr. Kuplic served as fire chief until retiring from the department 
Oct. 1, 1938, but was almost immediately named chief of the Police 
Dept. He remained as chief of police until Oct. 31, 1957, and was 
succeeded by the present chief, Frank W. Tomchek. Mr. Kuplic’s 
retirement was mandatory under city ordinance which requires persons 
leaving city employment at the age of 70.

vice president of the International Association of Fire chiefs and was 
treasurer 13 years of Wisconsin Fire Chiefs Assn., an organization he

association’s legislative board.
In 1928, Mr. Kuplic accepted, in behalf of the city, a state flag fro the 
international association which was awarded Manitowoc for being the 
leading Wisconsin city in fire prevention.
He also was active in area safety programs and was a member of Fox 
River Valley and Lake Shore Safety Council and National Safety 
Council. In the Wisconsin organization, he had been assigned to direct 
and arrange fire drills in schools within the area served by the council. 
He was a member of the education committee on public safety of 
National Safety Council.
While serving as chief of police, Kuplic authored an article on 
“What to Do If You Should Be Held Up on the Street,” It appeared 
in the May, 1947, issue of True Police Cases, nationally circulated 
magazine.
Honored by Scouts
In February of 1957, Kuplic received a signal honor from Waumegesako 
Boy Scout Council. The Silver Beaver, a medal reserved for adults who 
have given unselfishly in the promotion of scouting in the council, was 
presented in a ceremony at Lincoln High School. He had worked with 
youth through scouting and other means for 32 years up to that time.
He also had been honored in 1951 by Mission, Tex., Chamber of 
Commerce when he was cited for “contributing generously and 
wholeheartedly to the growth and progress of his community.” 
Recognition was for his program of
