ELLERY B. TREAT

E.B. Treat died on Thursday evening last after a sickness of one week's duration. 
When first taken sick about one week before his death, no one believed that for 
him "life's fatal fever" was so near over. The man seemed so strong, so active in 
the pursuits of his profession, so entertaining a companion in social gathering 
that it seemed difficult to realize that he should so suddenly be called to pay 
the great debt of Nature. During he brief illness he suffered indescribable pain 
but bore it with manly fortitude. He did not share the hope of his friends that 
his sickness was one of those ills which checker life without terminating it. He 
believed it to be the final struggle and that Death was to be triumphant. But no 
repining of his added to the anguish of his sorrowing family. He contemplated 
death without a murmur as he had suffered pain without complaint.
E.B. Treat was born in Erie county, N.Y., August 30, 1838.  He attended school at 
Aurora Academy until he was 16 years or age, when he went to Buffalo and entered 
the law office of Backus & Lanning as a student. He was admitted to the bar December 
1st, 1859. He came to Wisconsin in 1860 and taught school for six months in Sharon, 
Walworth county, this state. At the opening of the war he returned to Aurora 
organized a company of volunteers and was commissioned Lieutenant, but was compelled 
to resign on account of ill health. He was admitted to the bar in Milwaukee, April 
16, 1861, and at Chicago, April 19, 1861. From Chicago he came to Sheboygan on law 
business and was so well pleased with the county that he resolved to settle there, 
which he did in 1862. In the fall of the same year he was elected district attorney 
of Sheboygan county.
June 29, 1863, he married Charlotte H. Farnsworth, daughter of one of the oldest 
settlers of Sheboygan county. The following spring he came to Manitowoc and purchased 
the law business of Wm. F. Nichols, and formed a partnership with Wm. Hamilton. The 
partnership then formed continued for four or five years. He was elected district 
attorney of Manitowoc county for a number of terms. After the dissolution of partner-
ship with Hamilton, Mr. Treat continued the practice of law by himself, and in 1872 
formed a partnership with L.J. Nash.
This was dissolved a short while after and Mr. Treat gradually discontinued his law 
practice and went into other business. But some unfortunate speculations compelled 
him to resume the practice of his profession. At the time of his death he was in 
partnership with John Franz and had quite a lucrative practice. In 1870 Mr. Treat 
became the proprietor of the PILOT and it was edited by him for the period of one 
year. Although the work was a new experience to him, he gave evidence of a journal-
istic ability of high order. He was a pithy nervous and graceful writer and under 
his management the PILOT wielded quite an influence in the county.
As a lawyer Mr. Treat was painstaking, conscientious and honorable. His perceptions 
were acute and his legal knowledge was always available. He never made his duty as a 
man subservient to his success as a lawyer. No false hopes were ever held out to a 
client to encourage fruitless litigation. His success attested his sincerity, his 
prudence, and the faithfulness with which he discharged trusts confided to him. He 
was not a showy lawyer but he was diligent, well read and faithful to the interests 
of his clients. The more intimate the acquaintance with Mr. Treat the higher ones 
opinion of his ability became.
But highly as Mr. Treat was esteemed in a professional sense, much as he was respected 
as a good citizen, a faithful officer, and an honorable business man, in his private 
life his good qualities shone forth most conspicuously. In acts of friendship, charit-
able deeds and the many offices of a kindly and generous heart, E.B. Treat was the peer 
of any man living. The writer has known him intimately for the last two years and has 
witnessed many acts of unostentatious benevolence which produced for the subject of 
this sketch a respect, now bordering on reverence since the heart that prompted these 
deeds has ceased to throb and the hand that never refused to give to need lies still 
and clammy on the breast which held a manly soul.

ANNA TROCHLELL

DEATH SADDENS SO. SIDE HOME 
Mrs. Anton Trochlell is Dead After Illness of One Year.
Death which an operation several months ago failed to defeat, claimed Mrs. 
Trochlell, wife of Sergt. Trochlell of the city police department early today, 
her demise occurring at the family home, 818 So. 17th street. Mrs. Trochlell 
suffered from cancer and several months ago submitted to an operation which 
however proved futile. For a month past life had hung in the balance and death 
was not unexpected. 
Mrs. Trochlell was 42 and had always made her home here. She was married in 1891 
and is survived by a husband and three children, Anton, Edward and Miss Emily. 
One sister Mrs. A. Bohem and three brothers, John, George, and Jos. Zahorik, of 
Taus, also survive. Mrs. Trochlell had a wide circle of friends who will sincerely 
mourn her demise and in the little home a loving dutiful wife and devoted mother 
will be sadly missed. The funeral will be announced later.

ANTON TROCHLELL    (d. 1942)

Former Police Chief Anton Trochlell Dies
Anton Trochlell, 82 (photo), who retired as head of the Manitowoc Police 
Department in 1938 after 43 years of continuous service, 19 years as chief, 
died late Friday afternoon at the residence, 715 South 23rd street. He had 
been in failing health 11 months.
Joining the department as a patrolman in 1895 he advanced to sergeant, then 
to assistant chief and finally head of the department in 1919, after serving 
under four chiefs. He saw the transition of the department from 10 men to a 
force of nearly 30 officers.
Funeral Monday
Funeral services will be held Monday at 10 a.m. from the St. Paul's Catholic 
church. Honorary pallbearers will be chiefs from Wisconsin cities, members of 
the Wisconsin Police Chiefs Association. Active pallbears will be six officers 
from the present department, all of whom served under him. They are Captains 
William Christiansen and Frank Tomchek, Lieutenants William Lasch and Walter 
Herman, and Sergeants William McConnell and George Tulach.
Two uniformed police officers will stand guard at the casket when the body is 
lying in state at the funeral home. When final rites are held Monday there will 
be an honor guard consisting of uniformed members of the local and visiting 
departments who will form in parallel lines when the casket is moved from the 
home to the church.
Interment will be in Evergreen cemetery.
Mr. Trochlell was born in this city in 1860. He attended Manitowoc schools and 
when a young man learned the coopersmith trade which he followed for a number 
of years and later was employed by a coal company here.
Joined Force in 1895
In August, 1895, he was named a member of the police department, which at that 
time was headed by the late Frank Stirn. He served under Chief Jerome Pierce 
from 1897 to 1908.
Trochlell was promoted to sergeant in 1908 and assistant chief on April 1, 1916. 
When Chief Groffman resigned from the force April 1, 1918 to take charge of the 
special guard force at the Manitowoc Ship Building Company during World War I, 
Mr. Trochlell was made acting chief of the Police and Fire Commission. On 
March 1, 1919 he was named chief and served as head of the department until he 
voluntarily retired September 30, 1938. He was succeeded by the present chief, 
J.J. Kuplic.
In his 43 years on the force Chief Trochlell saw the department grow from the 
stage when officers served afoot, to the horse era and finally to the motorcycle 
and motor equipment.
When Chief Trochlell traveled a beat in the downtown district in the late nineties, 
there was not much detail about reporting in. Sometimes when the men went out in 
the early evening they were not heard from again until they checked in early the 
next morning.
Covered Harbor Area
The chief's beat included the harbor and dock areas. Many times he was forced to 
move inebriated persons to the police lockup with the 
(Continued on Page 13, Col. 2)
aid of a wheelbarrow. Not until 1905 did the police have the facility of a horse 
and wagon to bring in offenders. The City Council provided for rental of a horse 
from a livery stable adjoining the police station on Franklin street.
Later the Council provided a horse, stabled at the station. With the coming of the 
motor car the department acquired a police car, later an ambulance, then motorcycles, 
and finally regular squad cars.
One of the highlights of Chief Trochlell's long career occurred in 1935, when he 
was presented with a gold medal by the police force, the occasion of his 40th 
anniversary of enrollment in the department. His greatest ambition-to head the 
department when it moved to the present quarters in the Safety building-was 
realized in 1938.
In the 43 years Chief Trochlell served, only one member of the department lost his 
life in the line of duty. He was Fred Mueller, shot by the Walters brothers on a 
north side street June 12, 1932. Another unique feature of the chief's record is 
that in the 19 years he was head of the department only one murder occurred in 
Manitowoc, besides the slaying of Officer Mueller. That was on Sept. 18, 1931, when 
Del Buettner, Milwaukee alcohol cooker, was slain by his partner, Frank Mesaros, in 
a Commercial street warehouse. Later Mesaros gave himself up and was sent to Waupun.
When the Wisconsin Police Chiefs Association was organized Chief Trochlell was one 
of the charter members, and remained active in the association until his retirement 
four years ago. He was also a member of the Manitowoc lodge of Elks.
Widow Survives
Mr. Trochlell married Miss Anna Zahorik in this city 50 years ago. She died in 1910. 
In 1923 he married Mrs. Hiram Smith.
Survivors are the widow; two sons, Edward J., and Anton Jr., both of this city; 
daughter, Mrs. Ray Krysan of this city; two step sons, Vincent Smith of Chicago, 
Henry Smith of Wausau; step-daughter, Mrs. Oscar Anderson of this city; and 22 
grandchildren.
The body will lie in state at the Wattawa, Urbanek and Schlei funeral home and may 
be viewed there tonight and Sunday. It will be moved to the Trochlell home Sunday 
evening at 9:30.
The rosary will be recited at the funeral home Sunday evening at eight o'clock.

WILLIAM W. TROCHLELL

Manitowoc Man Killed in Ohio 
William Trochlell Dies Wednesday 
TOLEDO, Ohio - William W. Trochlell, 20, foreman aboard a Great Lakes ship, 
died at 11:20 p.m. Wednesday at a hospital here of injuries sustained in an 
automobile accident 20 minutes earlier.
The Manitowoc, Wis., native was riding in a car with three friends. The driver 
attempted to pass a line of moving cars and turned back into the lane of traffic 
when he saw the number of vehicles ahead of him. In doing so he sideswiped one 
of the cars. The impact tossed Trochlell from the car and he suffered a cerebral 
hemorrhage. The other passengers were hospitalized. 
The son of Anton and Mildred Wagner Trochlell was born Sept. 27, 1937, and 
resided with his parents at 3618? Michigan Ave., Manitowoc. He was graduated 
from Lincoln High School, Manitowoc, in June of 1955 and in April of 1956 was 
employed as a fireman by Inter-Lakes Steamship Co.
Trochlell worked aboard the Walter E. Watson which had just docked here for winter 
layup and was planning to leave for home within a fortnight. While at Manitowoc 
and during his high school days he was employed by the ___ ____ Store. He worked 
for a short time after graduation for Mirro Aluminum Co. 
Surviving in addition to his parents are a sister, Barbara, and two brothers,

H. OTTO TROEMEL

Friday, Feb. 7th, Otto Troemel, Editor of the Manitowoc Zeitung, aged 42
years. Of Erysipelas.
The deceased editor has long been a resident of this City and by his
culture and courteous demeanor to his fellow men, has made very many
personal friends, as was attested by the extraordinary turn out on Sunday
afternoon, to pay their last respects to his earthly remains. His
reputation was ever that of a true and faithful friend, high minded and
scrupulously honest in all his dealings in his business relations, he was
universally respected as one of out best citizens. Sociable,
companionable, and considerate of others views fearlessly when asked, yet
without the guile or ostentation that makes them offensive. As an editor
his place is difficult to fill. He was radical in his politics, but
earnest, energetic, and indefatigable in his labors for the men or
measures which he might expose. If he had enemies their origin was
conceived through some long and tedious campaign and tanned by adverse
interest. His Stewardship and faithful; what more can we ask of.
Man.-Manitowoc Pilot
The news of the death of Mr. Troemel, caused our fountain of sorrows to
flow, as we always regarded him as a true friend of humanity as well as
one of out best journalists. The deceased, although a political opponent
of State Senator Schmidt, the latter, through his representative, pays
the following tribute to the late departed.
"Mr. Troemel was an amiable companion, a faithful friend to his friends,
a gentleman in the true sense of the word, a good citizen. The Republican
party loses in him one of its most zealous members, and the press of
Manitowoc one of its most capable, honorable representatives. Peace to
his ashes."

Death of Otto Troemel
(From the Manitowoc Tribune, Feb. 13)
The desire expressed in our last issue for Otto Troemel's earliest possible restoration to health has not been realized; he died on Friday, February 7th, at 4 1-2 o'clock a.m., of softening of the brain, after an illness of but a week, leaving a disconsolate widow, two little children and a host of friends to mourn his untimely loss.
Otto Troemel was born in Russwein, Kingdom of Saxony, August 29th, 1831, received a good school education and was then apprenticed in a mercantile establishment. After serving his time he was engaged as traveler and book-keeper for several prominent firms; but when the "battle cry of freedom" resounded throughout Germany, in 1848, when the people arose against their oppressors and tried to break the fetters by which the federal party kept them bound, Otto Troemel, too, took up arms and joined hopefully the ranks of the people, combatting against their tyrants, and fought bravely throughout the Saxon revolution in 1849.
The end of this fearful strife is well known. Prussian troops were called and quelled the revolution which the King of Saxony was unable to subdue; and many of the brave men wrestling for liberty, were either shot or doomed to imprisonment of long duration. Otto Troemel was among the prisoners, and it was with great pains and sacrifices that his uncle, a man of considerable influence, succeeded in obtaining his pardon. As soon as he was released, he went to Hamburg, where he found an engagement as traveler for a large wholesale house.
In the year 1853 he resolved to leave Germany and to seek a new home in the United States. Soon after his arrival, he went to Chicago, where he resided for some time, and in 1854 he came to Manitowoc, then a little village of scarcely one thousand inhabitants. Here he supported himself by whatever his hand could find to do, some times scarcely earning a living, but ever mindful of the great interests of humanity and German immigration, ever interested in our public affairs and in the social condition of our German citizens. Thus he became on of the founders of the Freier Saengerbund and has ever remained one of its most active and influential members; he was also a zealous member of the Turn Verein, acting for some time as its Secretary.
It was about the time of his arrival here when the Republican party was founded. He joined it immediately, has ever since remained one of its most faithful members, and proved true when hundreds of his countrymen were led estray in the late canvass by the cry of reform and the name of Carl Schurz. He was appointed a delegate to the Baltimore convention, where he voted proudly and cheerfully for the re-election of our noble President, U.S. Grant.
In 1861 he was enabled to commence a German Republican paper in this city, called the Union, which, in 1862, was merged with the Wisconsin Democrat, and in the month of September of that year, he joined the 26th regiment, Wis., Inft., as corporal, was promoted to 2d and then 1st lieutenant, and in that position fought in the battles of Chancerville and Gettysburgh. Having been wounded at the latter place, he was obliged to resin his commission and was honorably discharged.
In 1864 he joined the 45th regiment as sutler, went with it to Tennessee, and returned the year following, when that regiment was mustered out of service. Since then he has constantly resided in this city, was elected to several important town and village office, which he always filled with the strictest integrity, and in June, 1868, commenced the Manitowoc Zeitung, which he has continued with constantly increasing support until the present time.
On the 31st of last month he was taken ill with erysipelas in the face, and the inflammation soon extending to the brain, the poor sufferer was almost constantly delirious, until last Friday death ended his earthly existence.
He was buried last Sunday afternoon with all the honors that the editorial fraternity, the printers, the Saengerbunds, the Turn Verein and his host of friends could bestow. Our worthy Mr. Esslinger spoke the last farewell at the grave, causing many tears to flow in memory of a beloved friend.
In regard to his character we here give the noble words of Mr. G. Schmidt, present editor of the Nord-Westen, one of the most bitter political opponents that our departed friend ever had:
"Mr. Troemel was an amiable companion, a faithful friend to his friends, a gentleman in the true sense of the woe, a good citizen. The Republican party loses in him, on of the most zealous members, and the press of Manitowoc one of its most capable, honorable representatives. Peace to his ashes."

KURT WILBUR TROGE

Kurt W. Troge, loving husband, caring father, inspiring teacher and most 
importantly, child of God, age 53, of 3726 Mackert St., Manitowoc, was called 
home on May 24, 2004, by his Heavenly Father to join all of the saints of 
Heaven to continue praising his Savior and Creator in a perfect place.
Visitation will be held on Saturday, May 29, 2004, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at 
Manitowoc Lutheran High School, 4045 Lancer Circle, Manitowoc, followed by the 
funeral service. The Rev. David Beckman of Manitowoc Lutheran High School and 
the Rev. Loren Lindeman of Immanuel Lutheran Church, where Kurt was a member, 
will officiate at this celebration of eternal life with burial to take place later 
at Evergreen Cemetery.
Funeral arrangements are with the Reinbold & Pfeffer Family Funeral Home, Manitowoc.
Kurt was born on Sept. 20, 1950, in Appleton, son of the Rev. Wilbur and the late 
Helen Brockdorf Troge. He graduated in 1969 from Fox Valley Lutheran High School 
in Appleton and spent his college years at Dr. Martin Luther College in New Ulm, 
Minn., graduating with a bachelor's degree in education in 1973. On June 22, 1974, 
he married the former Debra Knief at St. Luke's Lutheran Church in Watertown.
Kurt began his graduate work at Michigan State University-Lansing, continued at 
the University of North Florida-Jacksonville, and completed his master's degree in 
secondary education and administration at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh in 
1986.
Kurt began his teaching ministry in the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod as a 
tutor at Michigan Lutheran Seminary, Saginaw, Mich., from 1973 to 1975. In 1975, 
Kurt was called to start Christ Lutheran Grade School in Jacksonville, Fla., 
serving as the principal and fifth-through eighth-grade teacher. In 1980, Kurt 
accepted a call to be the guidance counselor, teacher of history and economics, 
and to coach at Northland Lutheran High School in Merrill, Wis. From 1988 to 1996, 
Kurt served Minnesota Lutheran High School in New Ulm, as its assistant principal 
and teacher. In 1996, Kurt continued his teaching ministry at Manitowoc Lutheran 
High School as principal, where he served in that capacity until June 2002. He 
resumed teaching in the fall of 2003, after a year of medical leave due to brain 
cancer and taught until January 2004 when the tumor returned. Throughout his 
ministry, Kurt touched thousands of lives by his love for teaching and most importantly, 
his love for his Savior.
Kurt was an exemplary husband and father. For 29 years, Kurt guided the Troge family 
by his living example. During annual family camping vacations, late night talks 
around the campfire, fishing and hunting trips, golfing, family game nights, and 
family devotions, Kurt showed his continual love, care, guidance, and concern for 
his wife and five children.
Survivors include his wife: Deb; and their children: Alicia, at home: Ben (Katy) 
and their daughter Skyler, Altamonte Springs, Fla.: Ryan, Milwaukee; Trivia, Winona, 
Minn.; and Caleb, at home. Kurt is also survived by his father: the Rev. Wilbur 
Troge, Appleton; his brother: Eric (Arlyss) Troge, Hortonville; three sisters: 
Christine Gallipeau, Houston, Texas; Melissa (Howard) Estervig, Waterloo, Wis.; and 
Gretchen (Steve) Gallo, St. Peter, III; his mother-in-law: Elaine Knief, Watertown; 
sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law: Sara (Art) Piper, De Pere: Enno Knief, Janesville; 
and Kim (Jim) Winters, Watertown. 
Nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends also survive. He was preceded 
in death by his mother: Helen Troge; his father-in-law: Enno Knief; and his brother-
in-law: Christopher Knief.
Kurth left a Christian legacy of leadership in every place and heart he touched. With 
God at his side, he faced every challenge, including the cancer that claimed his life 
after nearly two years. May God give each Christian the faith and trust and belief 
that our times are in His hands and that our lives are not ended on earth, but 
continued enlessly in Heaven.
In lieu of flowers, memorials would be appreciated for the Manitowoc Lutheran High 
School Building Fund.
The family sincerely thanks countless Christian friends for their continual prayers 
and acts of love and caring, including the employees and volunteers of the Holy 
Family Memorial Hospice. They thank God for His benevolent kindness to Kurt Troge 
on earth allowing this Christian man to grow in faith and to show God's grace in 
his life. Blessed are those who die in the Lord.

GUSTAV TRONSON

PORTO RICO HERO DEAD.
Gustave Tronson, a Member of Co. H, Answers the Final Roll Call.
Gustave Tronson died at the home of his parents, 724 N. Main Street, 
at 3:30 yesterday afternoon, aged 24 years. Death was not entirely 
unexpected, but was none the less a severe shock to relatives and 
friends. Born in this city in 1874, the deceased gew to manhood in 
our midst, and was a young man, highly respected by all who knew him. 
Of a genial disposition, he made many friends, who will learn of his 
demise with sorrow.
Deceased was a member of Co. H., Second Wis. Vol., and as truly as 
though slain on the gory field of battle, he has given his life for 
his flag; for it was during the stormy days of 1898, while with the 
command at Porto Rico, that he contracted the disease which culminated 
in his death; and his name will be added to the list of heroes, who 
gave their all for humanity's cause. Although not ill when abroad, he 
became so weakened by exposure and the hardships of camp life, that 
immediately upon his arrival home in September he was compelled to take 
to his bed. He improved steadily and was again able to be around, but 
about a month ago he suffered a relapse and was again laid low on his 
couch, from which he was destined never to rise. He was the son of Mr. 
and Mrs. Ole Tronson, and was a carpenter by trade. Besides his parents, 
five sisters and two brothers survive to mourn his loss.
Funeral arrangements have not yet been made.

ARTHUR W. TROST    (d. 1933)

Arthur M. Trost(sic) Dies at Holy Family Today 
Goods Salesman, Son-In-Law of Sam Randolph, Ill Short Time 
Arthur M. Trost, 32, traveling salesman for the Aluminum Goods Manufacturing 
company, died at Holy Family hospital this morning. His condition had become 
critical last Sunday when he was rushed to the hospital.
He is the son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Randolph, 921 North Tenth street. 
He drove here from Denver, Colo., a few days before the holidays. His illness 
came just as he was planning to return with Mrs. Trost to the west. 
Physicians had hopes yesterday that the patient had passed the crisis but late 
last night he began to fail and died at seven a.m. today.
The deceased, a "W" man at the University of Wisconsin, came to Manitowoc from 
his home in Milwaukee, after he completed his course at Madison, to take a 
position in the general offices of the Aluminum Goods company here. He was born 
in Waterford, Wis. 
When his family moved to Milwaukee he entered high schools there and later 
enrolled at Wisconsin.
Mr. Trost was a member of Coach Jones' track squad while at school and won his 
"W" in that sport. He was also vice chairman of the prom at Madison in his junior 
year and a member of the Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity. Graduating from Wisconsin 
in 1924, Mr. Trost came to Manitowoc to enter the employ of the Goods company. 
He was married here in August, 1929, to Miss Florence Randolph, herself a former 
student at Wisconsin. Shortly thereafter they moved west when Mr. Trost received 
a promotion to a position as traveling salesman for the western territory of the 
company with headquarters at Denver, Colo. 
He had planned returning to his office there right after New Year's but his health 
became such that he had to postpone the trip and finally was forced to go to the 
hospital early this week.
Besides his widow, Mr. Trost is survived by his mother, Mrs. Wilhelmina Trost, 
Milwaukee, a brother Frederick, also of Milwaukee, and two sisters, Miss Luella, 
at Milwaukee, and Mrs. C. Shattuck, Havana, Cuba. 
The deceased was a member of the Masonic order, holding membership in the Chapter, 
Blue lodge and the Commandery.
Funeral services will be in charge of the Masonic lodges, and will be held here 
Monday at 2 p.m., at the Masonic Temple, with interment at Evergreen cemetery here.

HERMINA TRUETTNER

WORRY OVER DEATH OF HER HUSBAND UNBALANCES MIND OF MRS. TRUETTNER, 
NEWTON WOMAN
Grief over the death of her husband which occurred recently is 
believed to be responsible for the condition of Mrs. Minnie 
Truettner, a well known town of Newton woman, who was today 
committed to the Northern hospital at Oshkosh by probate court. 
Mrs. Truettner's mind has become unbalanced and friends asked 
that she be cared for. Mrs. Truettner's husband died some time 
ago and since that time she has acted in a strange manner, until 
friends, convinced that her mind had been affected by her sorrow, 
appealed to the court for her commitment.

ELIZABETH TRUMAN

DEATH COMES AS MERCY TO HER
Tired and Weary From Long Suffering, Mrs. E. Truman is Released
MANY YEARS SPENT HERE
Came to City in 1854 – Was an Intellectual and Charitable Woman – Ill for Many Months
Tired and worn with a long illness which covered a period of many months, Mrs. Elizabeth 
Morse Truman, was granted a welcome release from pain and suffering and earthly trials 
late Tuesday evening when Death claimed her as his own. For weeks Mrs. Truman's condition 
had given hope of but one result, that of an early release for the patient and her demise at this 
time is not unexpected.
The subject of this sketch was born at Burlington, Vermont in 1825 and came to this city with 
her parents twenty-nine years later. She was married to Horatio Truman in this city and lived 
to survive him two years, he dying in 1902. Three children survive to mourn being Vincent of 
Chicago, Mrs. Edward Burgess, Abrams and Miss Agnes. One brother, C.W. Morse concluded the 
list of near relatives.
The decedent was a cultured, loveable woman. Personally, everyone respected her and her life 
is replete with many glowing attributes of character. While not ostentatious display in the work, 
she was known in the city as charitable and was going about in her good missions without ado. 
Hers was a policy to let 'not her right hand know what the left was doing', in distributing kindness 
and acts of mercy and there are a great many homes about the city into whose rooms have been 
brought sunshine by her visits. Sorrow over her loss belongs to all who knew her and there is a 
keener sorrow and personal grief that comes to the ?? family. Funeral arrangements have as yet 
not been made but will be announced later.

JUMPS FROM CAR, IS BADLY HURT
Young Greek Lad May Have Been Internally Hurt By His Fall
Nicholas Tsopels, a Greek bootblack, was seriously injured late Tuesday night 
when in attempting to jump from a morning street car on South Eighth Street, he 
was thrown to the pavement with force sufficient to render him unconscious. The 
accident happened in front of the Savings Bank building and bystanders carried 
the lad into the Olympia Candy store conducted by his brother and medical aid 
was summoned. The lad had a severe scalp wound and was bruised and bleeding. 
Later the injured boy appeared to be suffering from internal hurts and his case 
is being held under close observation. Tsopels is unable to leave his bed and it 
is feared was more seriously hurt than at first appeared. The car was moving at 
a rapid rate when the boy made his leap and Tsopels was thrown with great force. 
The boy conducts a shoe shining stand at 8th and Quay streets and had been here 
but a short time coming from Greece to join two brothers here.

RICHARD TURCZYNSKI

Youth Hit By Car Is Killed
Richard Turczynski Victim of Accident (photo)
Richard Turczynski, 20, son of Mrs. John Turczynski, Custerdale, was 
fatally injured shortly after 6 o'clock Saturday evening when struck 
by a west bound automobile driven by John G. Huske, 25, of Custerdale.
Turczynski was walking east along Custer street, near the 29th stret 
intersection when hit by the Huske car.
(paragraphs describing accident and the responsible person)
No one could positively identify the youth after the accident, but 
finally some peoople suggested that he resembled a Turczynski boy. 
A brother, John, the only one home after accident, was called and 
he identified the body as that of his brother.
On Way Downtown
John Turczynski said that Richard had left home but a few minutes before 
the accident, and that he was on his way downtown. The district attorney 
said that there was no reasonable explanation why Turczynski was walking 
in the road along Custer street. Police said that the sidewalk was 
apparently safe for walking for there was little ice on it.
The body was found by Mrs. Gerhardt Briest, 31, 1401 South 31st street, 
after Mr. Blashka left the scene. She stopped at the home of Mrs. John 
Everard, 961 South 29th street, and police were notified.
The Turczynski boy died of a fractured neck and skull fracture, the 
coroner said. Besides these injuries, the youth had a compound fracture 
of the left leg and a shattered right jaw bone.
(paragraph about accident)
Turczynski had just passed his preinduction physical examination for the 
armed forces at the Chicago induction station last Wednesday, and would 
have been called for active duty by Dec. 12, or shortly thereafter.
Born In Manitowoc
(paragraph about investigation)
Richard Turczynski was born in Manitowoc in 1925. He attended the McKinley 
elementary school, the Sacred Heart parochial school at Two Rivers and in 
Manitowoc. He completed his education at the Manitowoc Vocational school.
For a few years he worked at the Wisconsin Aluminum Foundry here, and then 
for a short period at the Aluminum Goods Manufacturing Co. For the past 
five weeks he has been employed at the Manitowoc Ship Building Co.
Funeral services will be held at 9 a.m. Tuesday at the Urbanek and Schlei 
funeral home, the Rev. F.C. St.Clair officiating. Burial will be in Evergreen 
cemetery.
The body may be viewed at the funeral home.

River's Bend Health and Rehabilitation Center. 
Betty was born on October 13, 1923 in Freeport, IL to the late Royal and Vera 
Pierson Synwolt. As a child, Betty lived in the northern Illinois communities 
of Stockton, Rockford, Warren, Savanna, Harvard, and Lockport. She met her 
future husband, William "Bill" Twichell, at Lockport Township High School where 
she graduated in 1941. She attended the University of Illinois on scholarship,

Betty teaching first grade at Madison School and Bill teaching physical education 
and coaching at Lincoln High School. She was a member of the Delta Kappa Gamma. 
In 1968, Betty entered the second half of her teaching career by fulfilling a 
long-held dream to switch to elementary music education which she continued until

life. She shared her musical gifts as a frequent accompanist by working with 
theaters, choirs and soloists. Betty loved her church and was an active member

STEVEN ULOVITZ

SOUTH SIDE BOY MISSING TWO WEEKS; TAKEN FROM THE RIVER
Body of Stephen Ullovitz(sic) Who Disappeared May 4 Found Near Northwest Slip Early Today - 
An Accident
Stephen Ullovitz, aged 23, and until two weeks ago employed as a teamster by 
J. G. Johnson, was found in the river near the Northwestern carferry slip early 
this morning. The body having been discovered by fishermen returning from the 
lake. Sergt. Trochill of the police department directed the recurring of the body 
which was taken to the Urbanek and Wattawa Undertaking rooms where the burial was 
held this afternoon.
Ullovitz is believed to have met his death by accident while under the influence 
of liquor, walking off or falling from the dock. The man left the Bradl place 
Sunday afternoon, May 4, and was last seen alive at 10 o'clock that night when 
he is said to have been intoxicated and was seen on the Tenth Street Bridge. It 
is the theory that Ullovitz wandered to the Goodrich dock or possibly on the other 
side of the river near the Reiss docks, lost his bearings and fell or walked off 
the dock and in his condition was unable to save himself. When the man failed to 
report to work it was thought that he had left town. The body was badly decomposed 
indicating that it had been in the water for some time and it is believed that 
Ullovitz met death the day he disappeared. The suicide theory is not entertained as 
it is said the man had made purchases of clothing and shoes only the day previous.
No inquest was held, the investigation by District Atty. Healy and Coroner Falge 
satisfying the officers that the man met death by accident. Ullovitz was a son of 
John Ullovitz, Manilla Street, but since the death of his mother eight years ago, 
had not resided at home. Besides his father he is survived by a brother and three 
sisters. The body was buried at the expense of the city this afternoon.

UNKNOWN UNKNOWN    (d. 1914)

DROWNED MAN UNKNOWN.
The body of an unknown man was taken from the river at 10th street last Friday 
and not being identified was buried at county expense.
Late in the evening a few days before Robert Schmidt, a North-Western road 
fireman, while crossing 10th street bridge heard cries for help but could not 
locate the source of them.
The body was badly mutilated, the cuts having been caused evidently by the 
propeller wheel of one of the car ferries, which wind into the slip at the 
point the body was found. No member of the crews of either car-ferry line is 
missing and persons familiar with many men could not identify the dead man. 
Another unknown has gone into oblivion in the potter field without a mourner.
