BLANCHE SEDLACEK

Last Sunday evening death came to the home of Louis Sedlachek(sic) 
and took away Mrs. Louis Sedlachek. She was a victim of smallpox, 
which developed into a very severe case until death came to relieve 
her. 
Mrs. Sedlachek was Blanche Chaloupka, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe 
Chaloupka of Kingsbridge. She was married but four months ago. She 
was 22 years old and well known. The news of her death came as a 
terrible shock to her friends and relatives. She is survived by her 
husband, father and mother and brothers Edward and William who will 
sadly miss her. Her remains had to be taken away in the evening 
which made the sorrow harder to bear. She was laid to rest in the 
Mishicott cemetery. Mr. Sedlachek was unable to attend for he is 
also suffering with the smallpox and mumps. The stricken family 
have the deepest sympathy of their friends.

ALEXANDER E. SELK

Death by suicide of A.G. Selk, age 65, in Mishicott last Sun. evening by self
inflicted gunshot. He had been ill for a long while. He was the father of local
merchant Christian Selk. Burial was on Tues. with the funeral sermon
delivered by Mr. Hubert Falge of Manitowoc.
Der Nord Westen, 24 Apr. 1879
*******
SUICIDE AT MISHICOT.
On Monday morning the people of Mishicott were shocked to learn that a prominent 
citizen of that village had committed suicide the previous night. E. A. Selk, a 
merchant in comfortable circumstances, and about 60 years of age, was the person 
who put a violent end to his own life. Mr. Selk has for a long time been subject 
to epileptic fits, and these occurred so frequently, about once a day, that his 
mind became impaired. Still nobody suspected that this infirmity made life a 
burden which he would willingly cast off, and he had the sympathy of friends 
solely on account of the waning of his mental powers and not because it was 
feared any tragic result would ensue.
On Sunday afternoon he asked a friend of his, Mr. Koehnke, for a revolver, stating 
that he wished to kill himself, but his manner at the time did not lead to the 
belief that he contemplated suicide, and but for the result that followed the 
circumstance would not be recalled. He reached home that night at a pretty late 
hour, and unheard by his family went to his room, got a double barreled shot gun, 
loaded it with buck shot and went into the store, which adjoins his dwelling. No 
report was heard, and his friends were not made aware of the desperate deed until 
the following morning when, on entering the store, his son found the old man with 
brains literally blown out. No one can tell at what hour nor precisely how the deed 
was committed. From the appearance of the wound it is certain that he placed the 
muzzle of the gun in his mouth and discharged both barrels. The charge passed through 
his head, scattering his brains and blowing off one of his ears and then passed 
through the ceiling. The wound was a terrible one and death must have ensued 
instantly.
An inquest was held on Monday before Justice Braasch. In his testimony Dr. Dawley 
stated that Mr. Selk was not of sound mind since he (Dr. Dawley) knew him. The 
verdict of the jury was given in accordance with the facts above given. The funeral 
took place on Tuesday afternoon.
Mr. Selk had been engaged in the mercantile business at Mishicott for a long time. 
Of late years he conducted the business in company with his son. He was a man of 
more than ordinary business capacity and was generally respected for his upright 
conduct.

MICHAEL J. SHIMANEK

Mishicot Man in Flaming Car Crash. Shimanek, 24, Victim, 
Body Badly Burned. Auto Hits Tree, Then Burns; Rate of Speed High. 
TWO RIVERS -  A flaming single car crash 2-1/2 miles south of this 
community on Highway 135 early Thursday morning claimed the life of 
a 24-year-old construction worker. County authorities identified the 
victim as Michael J. Shimanek, who had been rooming at 435 N. Fifth 
Street, Manitowoc. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Shimanek of 
Mishicot. 
Dr. Theodore Teitgen, County Coroner, said Shimanek died instantly 
from multiple injuries. It took county police and ambulance attendants 
about an hour to remove his charred body from the wreckage with the aid 
of power tools.
Sgt. Tony Kubis, one of the investigating officers, reported that 
Shimanek was southbound alone at a high rate of speed when his 1969 
high-powered model Plymouth Road Runner car failed to negotiate a curve. 
Car Hits Trees, Burns 
The vehicle went down into the right ditch, sideswiped three trees and 
then careened into a fourth tree where it apparently burst into flames. 
After that the car spun around and continued backward into a hay field 
owned by Clarence Goedjen of Rt. 1, Two Rivers, according to Kubis. It 
hit about seven trees in all. The rear end assembly broke away from the 
main body of the car and was found about 30 feet south of the wreckage. 
Parts of the vehicle were strewn from 70 to 150 feet in all directions.
Authorities said the fire apparently started in the rear of the car, 
The Town of Two Rivers Fire Department was called to extinguish the 
blaze and flush gasoline off the highway. 
A passing motorist, Carl Haese, 18, of Two Rivers, discovered the 
accident at about 2:40 a.m. and ran to a nearby home to summon help. 
Toll 17 So Far
Shimanek’s death raised the 1969 Manitowoc County traffic fatality to 
17 compared with 15 this time a year ago. 
Shimanek was the second member of his family to die in a traffic accident. 
His brother Gordon, 22, was fatally injured May 30, 1968, when struck by 
an automobile while walking on Highway 147 on the western edge of the 
Village of Mishicot.
Shimanek was born Feb. 3, 1945, in Kewaunee County, son of Frank and 
Evelyn Kunesh Shimanek. He was graduated from Holy Cross Parochial School, 
Mishicot, and attended Mishicot Community High School. A graduate of

Addie was born on Feb. 26, 1927, on the family farm in Stangelville, Wis., the 
daughter of the late John Sr., and Mary (Ourada) Chervenka.
Following WWII, she met Alan W. Skubal whom she married in 1947. They enjoyed 
59 years together until his passing in 2007. Since then she has lived at 
Southbrook Manor where she has renewed old friendships and made many new ones, 
especially enjoying the daily coffee klatches.
Addie was very dedicated to her Roman Catholic upbringing, serving many years 
as a choir member at Holy Cross Parish, Mishicot, and then in Newton at St. 
Thomas The Apostle, where she and Alan moved thirty years ago. Her commitment 
continued until the very end of her life, as she sang for a funeral the day

Project Head Start, the VFW Auxiliary, and Girl Scouts. To the pride of Alan and 
their children, she even went back to school at age 50 and was awarded her GED.

waltzes.

Stangelville. They moved to Mishicot where Al embarked on a 
career as an industrial engineer for both Hamilton Manufacturing

A dedicated member of the community, Al served the needs of his 
church as a council member, usher and religious instructor. He 
was a longtime treasurer for Catholic Knights and a post 
commander for the VFW. 
Al was a man who endeavored to challenge himself every day. For 
years he utilized some of his leisure time running a mink ranch 
he built in rural Mishicot. Moving to Newton in 1978, he and 
Addie employed local youth at an ice cream parlor, Boy Blue, they 
developed in Manitowoc. 
The joy in Al's life, however, was his family. He and Addie 
traveled extensively, often taking along family members to share

Good for you Charlie!!
On June 9th, Chas. J. Skwor of Cooperstown graduated with a class of one hundred 
fifty from the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Chicago. He is a bright, 
industrious young man who is destined to succeed in his chosen profession. He was 
born and reared on a farm in Cooperstown where he attended the district school. 
After completing the course of study in his home school, he attended the Mishicot 
graded school for five years, completing the course under Otto Zander, now publisher 
of the Brillion News. He then entered the Oshkosh Normal School and after spending 
a year, he engaged in teaching and taught the Melnik School for two years, during 
which time, through private study he secured a second grade certificate. At the close 
of his second year at Melnik, he was offered and accepted a principalship at the school 
at Bessemer, Mich., which position he held for two years. He then abandoned the work 
of teaching to take up the study of medicine at the College of Physicians and Surgeons 
in the fall of 1904. In his junior year he was elected assistant sergeant-at-arms by 
the class and was again elected to the same position by the senior class. he was 
appointed as assistant House Surgeon of the college by Dr. A.K. Steele, Actuary of the 
college and was named by the Dean as a member of the quiz class for the Cook county 
Hospital Internship and was later appointed Intern for West Side Hospital. It is thus 
seen that Dr. Chas. Skwor had honors conferred upon him by his fellow students and the 
faculty during his collegiate days. he ranked as one of the best in a class of 150 
graduates and that was doing well for a Cooperstown boy. Dr. Skwor is a young man of 
push and energy and has a promising future before him. - Manitowoc Pilot

IN MEMORIAM
Lines Dedicated To Mrs. Daniel Smith:
Our Mother's journey is ended; God has called her home;
She has gone to meet her loved one, where parting never comes
Her days of strength were over, her kind brown eyes were dim
Her youthful strength had left her, yet her soul was bright within
The path of daily duty was ever her delight
She walked by faith and patience, and trusted God for sight.
Her hands with careful labor each day their mission told
Her deeds like heavenly roses still bloom though she's resting in the tomb
O, fond mother, once so faithful
Thou truest earthly friend
We pray in peace to meet you
Where reunions never end.

HOW THE CARP GOT HERE
A.Specht, who was buried at Mishicot last week, was a former resident of the Town of Gibson where he owned a farm. About thirty years ago, Mr. Specht had a fish pond on his farm which was located near the Mishicot river. It is said that he sent East for some German carp, which he undertook to raise in his pond, thinking that this specie of fish would be rapidly propagated there. It was believed, at that time, that carp were a desirable fish for food but it was discovered later that the meat was course and undesirable.  The carp were left in the pond and no attention was paid to them until one spring the pond was destroyed by a flood and became connected with the river and the fish disappeared from the original pond. Not long after many carp were noticed in the river where they had found an abundance of food.  
They are a menace to small fish and of late years it has been noticed that the rice beds along the shores of our rivers, which have been the favorite feeding grounds of game birds, were rapidly disappearing. Upon examination it was found that these beds were being destroyed by the carp, which live upon its roots that they dig up from the bottom. The carp has a voracious nature, similar to a hog and it is slow and lazy and cannot be caught with hook and line. They are found in both our rivers and it would be a benefit to the angler and the hunter if they could be removed. In Europe carp are bred in ponds in many places for food and they are said to be very appetizing if properly prepared but the secret of preparing them for the table has not yet been discovered in this country or possibly, the fish propagated here are deteriorated in American waters.

Shawna Pekarek. 
I'll Remember You 
I'll remember you when I get home from school 
As I'm walking through the door 
You always sat outside my window 
But you won't be there anymore. 
I'll remember you when I'm at a drive through 
And I'm handed all my food 
I'll remember the time you told the lady to smile 
Because it would put everyone else in a better mood. 
I'll remember you when I am driving 
And when I beep my horn 
I'll remember the times when people pulled out in front of you 
And how they felt your scorn. 
I'll remember you when I am working 
All those times you came to visit me 
And I'll remember your red lipstick 
And how you always managed to get it on your teeth. 
I'll remember you when I am at the fair 
And on the tilt-o-whirl 
I'll remember when you rode with me 
Those screams of yours to stop the ride could make anyone's hair curl. 
I'll remember you when my birds chirp 
You always loved to hear them sing 
I'll remember you when I see Canadian geese 
For they were one of your favorite things. 
I'll think of you when my phone rings 
Wishing I could hear your voice 
I'll remember all the times I agreed to go to church with you 
And how you would rejoice. 
I'll remember you when I am driving 
Stuck behind someone slow 
You never managed to do the speed limit always 5 or 10 below. 
But the truth is 
I will always remember you 
Because you were so dear to me 
Everything I look at 
Takes me back to another memory. 
I hope you know I miss you 
And that you will always live inside my heart 
I hope you know that not even death, 
Can keep us far apart. 
I hope you know you weren't just my grandma 
But one of my best friends too 
I hope you know that when I grow up 
I want to be just like you.

August Stueck, who was one of the best known residents of the northern part 
of the county, died suddenly on Saturday. He had driven his auto to Manitowoc 
where he met his daughter, who is the wife of Dr. J. A. Mudroch of Columbus. 
Upon his return home he informed his wife that he was not feeling well and 
laid down for a rest. A few minutes after he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage 
and passed away before medical aid could reach his side. His death was a 
severe shock to his wife and members of his family as he had always been in 
apparently good health.
Deceased was born in the Town of Gibson, February 15, 1864 where he resided 
until 1903 when he moved to the village of Mishicot where he conducted a hotel 
and later became owner of a hardware store. In 1919 his home at that place was 
destroyed by fire and shortly after he moved to this city where he has since 
resided. Mr. Stueck was a highly respected citizen. He was admired by all for 
his quiet and honest manner. No man could ever have been more fair than he in 
business dealings and he was kind and courteous to all and dearly loved his 
family. He was very popular and was elected to town offices a number of times. 
His policy was always to do the best he could and he leaves a clean record in 
his life's work. Besides his wife, deceased is survived by a son, Dr. Arthur 
Stueck of Manitowoc and a daughter, Mrs. Mudroch of Columbus, Wis. The funeral 
was held from St. John's Lutheran Church in this city and the remains were taken 
to the Mishicot Cemetery for interment - Two Rivers Chronicle

Notes from Mishicot:
The village folk of Mishicot were suddenly aroused from their 
slumbers about 2 o'clock Sunday morning of last week by the wild 
cries of fire! Fire!. Soon the entire village was astir with life 
and motion. There was no difficulty in finding the fire, for the 
residence of August Stueck was already wrapped in flames which 
could be seen from every quarter of the village. Mr. Stueck was 
the only occupant of the house at the time; his family had gone 
to Columbus, Wis., some time ago. The falling of plaster awakened 
him and he managed to escape without injury. A volunteer water 
bucket brigade of fire fighters (a few in nightly attire) was soon 
in action trying to prevent the flames from spreading to nearby 
buildings. The entire high school faculty was out and proved that 
good teachers also make good firemen. Mr. Messenger was considered 
by all as a hero. The value of the property was between $4500 and 
$5000. A large part of this was covered by insurance. The fire was 
of unknown origin.
