Two of Bishop's sons, 14-yr. old Edward and 11-yr. old Henry went to the upper story of the family house in order to change their clothes.

Medical aid was summoned, but the child died within 2 hours of the accident. It is the same old story of leaving a loaded gun where children can get at it. Manitowoc Pilot, November 19, 1903 p.1 ******* SHOT BY HIS BROTHER Edward Bishop Didn't Know the Gun was Loaded but It Goes Off Just the Same and Kills His Little Brother Last Sunday a most horrible tragedy was transacted in the Town of Two Creeks at the home of Stanislaus Bishop, a Polish farmer of that town. Two of his sons, Edward, aged 14 and Henry, aged 11 years, went upstairs to change their clothes. There was a shot gun upstairs which Edward took and pointed at his brother, snapping the lock at the same time. He supposed the gun was unloaded but, like many others who aim supposedly empty guns at people, he found to his sorrow that it was loaded. The gun went off and shot away a portion of the head of his brother. The poor unfortunate lad lived for about two hours after the terrible accident. Of course, young Edward is not to be severely blamed though his act was a very foolish and dangerous one and it should be a warning to other boys. He is broken- hearted over the unhappy result. The dead boy will be buried in the cemetery at this place tomorrow.

Mr. Braun's death followed a long illness that had forced his retirement from active business for months. Mr. Braun was born in Bohemia in 1854 and came to Manitowoc county at the age of 13 years.

That well known businessman, the personification of industry to all who knew him, has been called to his well earned rest. He passed away Tuesday evening at Holy Family Hospital where he had been for several weeks, in a vain hope for the return of his health. Deceased was singularly free from illness all his life until the dread epidemic of influenza caught him two years ago and left him more or less ailing ever since, finally bringing on complications from which he could not recover. He appeared to be convalescing from a serious illness last fall and had gone back into his store to work which was his great pleasure, but his condition soon took a turn for the worse. When a lad of 13, he arrived from Bohemia and settled at Cooperstown, this county and after residing there until he had attained his majority he came to this city to engage in the profession which he had already learned from his father in the old country as a little boy, that of watchmaker and jeweler. He was married in 1882 to Miss Laura Chloupek, sister of County Judge John Chloupek. He added photography to his jewelry business and for the past ?? years he has owned and conducted his business in the building on the corner of 16th & Washington Streets. His business career was marked by most obliging and consciensious service to his customers. He was public spirited and generous and in his death he city loses an exemplary citizen. Not given much to social functions he was happiest when at work and he knew no idle moments doing his work always. Deceased was born in 1854. He leaves his widow, two sons, Edward and Paul and one grandson, John. The funeral will be this Friday morning from the house with services at St. Luke's Church, pallbearers being selected from his friends in the Modern Woodmen and Elk Lodge with which he was affiliated.

The stock will be auctioned off, the fixtures sold and the quarters rented. Paul Braun, son of the founder, will retain his photographic studios in the quarters adjoining the jewelry store on Washington street. John Braun passed away ten years ago. The founder of the establishment came to America when a boy of fourteen from Bohemia. He came from a family of watchmakers and settled first at Greenstreet. A few years later he came to this city and opened a jewelry store and repair shop on the site of the present Kumbalek store adjoining the Rivoli theater and two years later purchased the present site from the late Louis Zander who operated a general store. He also took up photography. Mr. Braun's experience in the photography field dated back to the early tin- type days, developing thousands of them that are now cherished in the homes of scores of older residents. So interested was Mr. Braun in photography that he would walk miles into the rural section to take a picture of some interesting object. When visitors would come to the city, Mr. Braun would arrange for a sitting and give them the pictures free of charge. The son continued in the business in later years and took over the entire business on the death of his father.

MOSES BUNKER DEATH OF OLDEST SETTLER RECALLS TWO RIVERS TRAGEDY MOSES BUNKER, SAID TO HAVE BEEN RESIDENT AT TWO RIVERS LONGER THAN ANY OTHER MAN LIVING THERE Moses Bunker, said to be the oldest living settler of Two Rivers, having come there in 1842 when he was a babe of five months, died at his home in that city this week, aged 72, and was buried today. Bunker's parents came to Two Rivers as Father Marquette and many other pioneers traveling, in a birch canoe paddled by Indians. He was born at Green aBy.(sic) Mr. Bunker was a beloved character here. He was one of the last survivors of the great catastrophe which occurred at the Fourth of July celebration in 1852. In that celebration the carelessness of a man firing the city cannon caused a powder explosion in which four were killed and 32(?) badly burned. Mr. Bunker was among the latter and carried severe scars of the burns through life. Mr. Bunker was a member of the volunteer life saving crew many years ago under Captain Scove and later Captain Pilon. He also served many years in the regular crew after the life saving station was established. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Saturday, October 31, 1914 p.1 ********* MOSES BUNKER article The Old Timers column will be continued as long as we find the persons who have a vivid recollection of the early days and who are entitled to recognition as Old Timers by having lived in this vicinity previous to 1856. There is no one living here today who came to Two Rivers earlier than did Mr. Moses Bunker. He was but a tiny babe, 5 months old, when his parents came to the settlement. They came as Father Marquette and many other pioneers traveled in a birch bark canoe paddled by an Indian. The Bunkers had decided to leave Green Bay where Moses was born to improve their circumstances. They stopped at Manitowoc Rapids but as Mr. Bunker's father could find no employment he took the trail for the beach which he followed to Two Rivers. Here he immediately obtained employment with Smith and Hibbard lumber manufacturers and Deacon Smith engaged an Indian to paddle to Manitowoc, accompanied by Mr. Bunker and bring in the mother and little Moses. It was summer then and his mother who told Moses all about it later said it was calm and the trip was pleasant. The canoe was large and roomy and their belongings were carried in three trunks. This was in 1844. The first event that stands out with indelible prominence in the memory of Moses Bunker is a great catastrophe which occurred here at the 4th of July celebration in 1852. Moses was at that time only eight years of age. Nature has given him an exceptional memory and he says the things which occurred on that terrible day are to him as of yesterday. As related in the sketch of another old timer in these columns, very elaborate preparations were made for the celebration. The great gathering occurred in the pines where now stands Dr. Farrel's residence and St. Luke's parochial school. Among other features of this great celebration was the occasional firing of salutes from a cannon. Ed. LaPoint, a veteran of the Mexican War had charge of loading and firing. Another man was in charge of the powder. There were three and a half kegs of this standing close by. This man was somewhat under the influence of liquor and engaged in altercation with small boys who threw lighted fire crackers at him. Jos. Bisha, the cooper, was nearby and admonished him, calling his attention to the danger of the situation and warning him that a catastrophe would take place. The man scoffed at Bisha telling him that he did not know the difference between powder and sand and had better keep still. When Bisha had gone a block away, the powder suddenly became ignited and blew up, killing four and wounding 32 others. Among those wounded was Moses Bunker. He had been near with other small boys and witnessed the accident and the circumstances leading to it. The force of the explosion had blown him a short distance and he kept on going in the direction which happened to be toward home. The Bunkers live on the corner where ?? shoe store is located. Near home, two men grabbed him, tore off all his burning clothing and left him stand naked in the street. Mrs. Godfried Berger, whose sketch appeared in these columns lived near. She wrapped him in a blanket and took him to her house where Moses' father found him a short time later and carried him home. Over a dozen other wounded were already lying in the house receiving medical attention when Moses was brot(sic) home. Some of these were strangers who like many others, had come in on the excursion on the little sidewheel steamer, Planet from Milwaukee and Sheboygan. The Planet returned to Milwaukee immediately with the wounded members of the excursion. Twenty-four hours later she was back again. She had brot sweet oil. All the sweet oil had been used up to alleviate the sufferings from burns and the new supply was anxiously awaited. Moses relates that a boy named Hank Decker was sitting on one of the powder kegs at the time of the explosion. He was blown high in the air but came down without a scratch. On coming down, Decker inquired, who was that ?? that set that off? Ed LaPointe, the gunner, was only slightly burned. He had the cannon loaded, ready to fire. When he received a moments' warning of the explosion he slapped his hat on the prime and threw himself alongside of the barrel of the cannon using his hands to shield his face. His wrist and some of his large black beard were all that was burned. Some of those who were severely burned in the catastrophe and who are remembered by many were: Oliver Pilon, Wm Allen, Eugene Jugal and Albert Eldridge. The latter died from the effects of the accident. A few weeks after the explosion, Moses' father sold his home to Mr. House. He received $1,400 in gold for it. Moses said it took $400 of that to pay the doctor's bill. The French fisherman of Two Rivers were largely identified with the Life Saving Service. They were well qualified for this service being brave and hardy. Moses Bunker was engaged in fishing many years and was a member of the first life saving crew. The captain was Oliver Pilon and other members of the crew in the memory of Mr. Bunker was Cleophus Dionne, Chas. Smith and Felix Greenwood. He served several years on the Chicago Life Saving Station when Mr. Telesphore St. Peter of Two Rivers was captain. Mr. St. Peter is now captain of the station at South Manitou Island. Moses Bunker served on the volunteer crew before the regular service commenced here. On one occasion they went out to take the crew off the schooner, Toledo; Captain Calloway, who is a brother-in-law of Mrs. August Weilep. It was somewhat stormy and quite a sea was rolling. The fishermen put out in their boat from the beach. Mr. --, a former captain of the schooner, handled the steering oar while the fishermen rowed. On going out the breakers broke over the boat and they soon had considerable water aboard. After proceeding a short way, Mr. --, at the steering oar said, "Let's go back". The fishermen answered with an oath that they were going to help the schooner. They stood bow toward the swell, baled the water out with a pail and proceeded on their way taking the crew aboard their boat and brought them safe ashore. When they reached shore, Mr. ---. Who had handled the steering oar remarked, "Those Frenchmen are regular hell drivers - they won't stop for anything." Mr. Bunker is in good health. He is employed at the Hamilton plant. He resides with his wife and family on the Eastside.

Manitowoc Herald News, February 10, 1921 P.3 ******* The Old Timers column will be continued as long as we find the persons who have a vivid recollection of the early days and who are entitled to recognition as Old Timers by having lived in this vicinity previous to 1856. Husband and wife living together for fifty-three years in peace and happiness is the case of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Christoffel. Three years ago they celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. Jacob arrived at Two Rivers from Germany in May, 1853. He says there were no houses on the Southside when he arrived except two or three little shacks near the pier. All the now populous district of the Southside was shrubs and swamp and woods. Mr. Christoffel remained here but a short time and then obtained employment at the sawmill in Neshoto. Two Rivers and Nehsoto at that time were part of the Town of Two Rivers. Just after their marriage, the Christoffels took charge of a lumber shanty at Denmark, a short distance north of Neshoto. She did the cooking and he worked in the woods with the other men. There was an Indian settlement near there. One of the Indians who lived there, a leader of the Chippewas, often made visits to this place. He was "Old Kadoose". Many people of middle age will remember him. This Indian and others often came to Mr. Christoffel's shanty and went away with a good measure of pork and beans and other eatables given them. The life among these Indians and the woodsmen, with the howling of wolves around the shanty at night was not a very pleasant one. But such was the life of the pioneer in the early days. About 1862 the Christoffels went to Neshoto and soon after he having obtained employment at the chair factory, they moved to Two Rivers. Their belongings consisting of 4 or 5 chairs, a stove, a bed and some kitchen utensils were landed on a scow and the scow was pushed down the river to this place with pile poles. The pioneer was content with very little in the line of household furniture as compared to present day requirements. Mr. Christoffel worked thirty years in the chair factory. He worked until its close in 1895 with the exception of a few years when he was pathmaster. His wages were meager but by practicing frugality, characteristic of the early German settlers, he saved a snug sum with which he was able to build him a home and lay aside considerable for a rainy day. But when the Two Rivers Manufacturing company went bankrupt, he lost over $1000. He, like many others, had placed implicit confidence in the soundness of the "the company". Mr. Christoffel was the twelfth child of the family of which he is the only surviving member. His hearing and sight are very good but he is otherwise very infirm and he is forced to lie in bed most of the time. His mind is clear. He informed the Reporter that he is ready to die and expects to die very soon. The Reporter, Sat., June 28, 1913

He was born in the County Mayo, Ireland, in the year 1788, emigrated to Canada in 1851 and the following year came to this county to live with his son who is a resident of Cato. About two months ago, he and his wife, who is 94 years of age, came to this city to reside with his daughter. For some time past, the infirmities of old age bore heavily upon him, but he battled with them bravely till the last and when finally he was called upon to answer the dread summons from beyond the Dark River, he calmly and serenely obeyed, only regretting the separation from his dear aged companion - a separation which must necessarily be brief.
