STEVE ELLIOTT

91 YEAR OLD RESIDENT OF CITY PASSES
Stephen Elliott Dies After Week’s Illness at Home Here
One of Two Rivers most colorful figures for nearly half a century, 
and it is believed, the oldest pioneer of this city, Stephen Elliott 
91, passed away shortly before nine o’clock last night at his home, 
2109 Polk Street, after a week’s illness due to pneumonia.  Prior to 
his affliction, Mr. Elliott was in apparently in good health despite 
his ninety-one years.  
Born in Canada
Born at Broxville, Canada, 2 January 1844, Stephen removed with his 
parents when he was 19 years of age to Cheboygan, Michigan, and after 
a few years of residence in that city the family came to Manitowoc Co. 
settling on a farm at Two Creeks. Forty years ago Mr. Elliott came to 
this city and conducted a saloon on Jefferson street which was later 
taken over by J.A. Geimer. After leaving the saloon business, Mr. 
Elliott spent a few years in the fishing industry, later abandoning 
that trade to again start a saloon on Seventeenth street, where the 
Hamilton paint shop is now located.  
In his youth, Mr. Elliott sailed the lakes on several large boats, and 
in 1906 the pioneer homesteaded land near the Two Rivers lighthouse. 
He has many friends in this city and surrounding territory who were 
shocked to learn of his death, although the past week it was not 
unexpected considering his advanced age.
He was married three times, and of the first union one son, Robert, 
residing at Cheboygan, Mich., survives. Four children were born during 
his second marriage. They are Clarence and Elmer of this city, Mrs. 
Charles Hooper of Cincinnati, Ohio, and Mrs. Charles Smith of East 
DePere.
Burial Thursday
About forty-four years ago he was united in marriage to Catherine Lahey, 
who still survives, with three sons, William, Edward and Thomas, all of 
this city. There are also twenty-seven grandchildren and five great-
grandchildren surviving.
One son of Mr. Elliott, James, was killed August 18, 1918 while fighting 
in the World war.
Funeral services will be held Thursday afternoon at Grace Congregational 
church, with Rev. Thomas Hawkes officiating.  Burial will be at Pioneers’ 
Rest Cemetery (sic).

News article:
PIONEER CELEBRATES 84TH BIRTHDAY
Among the most popular of the early pioneers who are still with us is Stephen 
Elliott, who celebrated his 84th birthday anniversary at his home on Polk Street 
last Saturday. A large number of friends and relatives gathered with him and Mrs. 
Elliott for the occasion and "Steve", as he is familiarly known by many, spun 
yarns of the time when he sailed the Great Lakes, the guests played cards and a 
fine lunch served.
Mr. Elliott, who was born in Canada came down the lake with his parents, Mr. and 
Mrs. Wm Elliott on board a schooner and one afternoon they landed at Sheboygan, 
on the same day that the steamer Phoenix was destroyed by fire near that port and 
over 200 lives were lost in the disaster. That was 76 years ago. The family made 
their way to this vicinity and settled on a farm and when Stephen reached his 
majority he went sailing on the Great Lakes. Later he went back to farming again 
near Two Creeks. He was popular for his witicisms and story telling as well as his 
good qualities of manhood. For the past 32 years he has been a resident of Two 
Rivers. For a time he was captain of the fishtug Karet, which operated here and 
also mate on the Two Rivers Manufacturing Company's steamer, Temple Emery. Now, 
although he has reached over four score years, he is still active and in excellent 
health. On his land up near Twin River Point Light, he cuts his winter supply of 
fuel and with horse and wagon, unaided, brings it to his home here where he and 
Mrs. Elliott are spending their old age together and in comfort and happiness.
Mr. and Mrs. Elliott have seven sons and two daughters, Robert of Cheboygan, Mich.; 
Clarence, William, Elmer, Ed and Thomas of this city; Neil of Green Bay and Mrs. 
Charles Hooper of Cincinatti and Mrs. Charles Smith of DePere. One of his sons, 
James, gave his life fighting in the World War and lies buried on one of the battle 
fields. The Reporter unites with many in congratulations to this venerable pioneer. 
May he still enjoy many happy years of life with his family and many friends.

Hazel Camille Engelland, age 91, of 6210 Elmwood Road, Two Rivers, went to be 
with her Lord surrounded by family on Thursday, Jan. 18 2007, at the Manitowoc 
County Health Care Center, where she recently resided. 
Hazel, daughter of the late Edward and Elsie (Zarn) Steckmesser, was born on 
Jan. 14, 1916, in Cicero, Ill. She moved to Two Rivers in 1917 after the death 
of her father. On Dec. 28, 1940, she married Henry Engelland at St. John's

Hazel was a life long member of St. John's Evangelical Church, where she was an 
active member of the Ladies Society. She enjoyed playing cards with several 
different groups of ladies. Besides cards, she enjoyed gardening, canning and 
baking. Her homemade bread and pickles were relished by all. She received her 
greatest joy from her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and they in return 
loved her very dearly. Anyone who knew her understood what a very special child 
of God she was, not only to her family, but to the countless people whose lives 
she touched. She responded to her family's problems not by judging but rather 
with understanding, compassion and prayer. Prayer was her answer to any adversities 
that arose in her life. The faith she showed in her Lord was a gift that she 
passed down to everyone in her family. 
Besides her loving husband of 66 years: Henry (Hank) Engelland, Hazel is survived 
by three daughters and sons-in-law: Carol (Mike) Moore, Two Rivers; Janet (Wayne)

Chimileski (Emily); John Engelland and the person special to him: Sheri Kellser;

brother-in-law: Norman Schmeichel; one sister-in-law: Lorry Peterik; nieces,

The family would also like to express their sincere appreciation to the staff at

care they showed to Hazel; and our family, especially during the last few difficult 
weeks. She grew to love many of you in the short time she was there.

HENRY ENGELLAND

Henry (Hank) Emil Engelland, age 92, beloved father, grandfather 
and great-grandfather, formally of 6210 Elmwood Road, Two Rivers, 
went to his eternal home to be with his wife: Hazel, the sunshine 
of his life, early on March 5, 2007, at The Manitowoc Health Care 
Center, where he resided. 
Henry, son of the late William and Bertha (Retzlaff) Engelland, 
was born on June 28, 1914, in Mishicot. On Dec. 28, 1940, he 
married Hazel Steckmesser at St. John's Evangelical Lutheran 
Church in Two Rivers, where he was a faithful lifetime member. 
Hazel preceded him in death Jan. 18, 2007. Hank spent most of 
his life farming with his father and brother in the towns of Two 
Rivers and Two Creeks. His family was known for their turkey farm. 
After farming Hank worked for the Point Beach State Forest and 
ACE Construction until his retirement. He was a longtime member 
of the town of Two Rivers Fire Department, where he served as its 
first chief. He was also one of the original members of the West 
Shore Sportsman's Club. From an early age his passion for the 
great outdoors was evident in his love of hunting, especially the 
times he spent at the Victory Buck Camp with his "Hayward family." 
He was known around the state at field trials for his champion 
coon hounds. Hank and his wife: Hazel, spent countless weekends 
dancing and singing to old time music. His favorite song "You Are 
My Sunshine" soon became very dear to his entire family. He was a 
loving and caring father and papa (as he was affectionately 
called by his grandchildren and great-grandchildren). He was 
always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. He kept 
busy working on special projects for his family. His gardens 
supplied vegetables to his entire family as well as anyone else 
who happened to stop by. His sweet smile, great sense of humor, 
and loving bear hugs will be missed by all, especially his great-
grandchildren.

William F. Engelland Sr., 70, (photo) widely known Town of Two Rivers farmer

Tuesday.
Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Friday at St. John Lutheran Church, 
Two Rivers, the Rev. W.G. Haase officiating. Interment will be in Forest View 
Cemetery, Two Rivers.
Mr. Engelland was born in the Town of Mishicot Jan. 11, 1876, a son of the late 
Henning Peter and Catherine Leesch Engelland. He attended and was graduated 
from the Pleasant View district school in the Town of Mishicot. At the age of 
14, on the death of his father, he assisted his mother in the conduct of the 
cheese making business and in farming at Skubal's Corners, Town of Mishicot. 
After attending the University of Wisconsin dairy school at Madison for a year 
he returned to puruse (sic) the cheese making trade at Skubal's Corners, 
remodeling and refurnishing the plant. The factory was destroyed by fire about 
a year ago.
Mr. Engelland served on the board of the Pleasant View School for about 20 years. 
He then purchased the present farm in the Town of Two Rivers in 1914, and operated 
the farm as well as running the old Rangeline Creamery in the Town of Two Rivers. 
He also acquired the former Herman Dreier farm, located on Highway 42, 19 years 
ago, now operated by his son, Henry.
For several years Mr. Engelland served on the board of the Rangeline School, Town 
of Two Rivers, and for a number of years, in the 1920s was road supervisor for the 
township.
On Oct. 9, 1900, Mr. Engelland married the former Bertha Louise Retzloff of the

FARMER SUFFERS A BIG FIRE LOSS WEDNESDAY
Fine Modern Barn of William Engelland is Destroyed with Contents
Fire on the farm of William Engelland of the Town of Two Rivers caused a big 
loss Wednesday night when it destroyed the large, modern barn, 18 head of cattle, 
four horses, a large quantity of hay and some farm machinery. The loss it is 
estimated will be close to $10,000, about half of which is covered by insurance. 
The cause of the fire is unknown, possibly due to spontaneous combustion, 
incendiarism or some careless prowler with a cigarette. However, the barn which 
was only recently greatly improved with a concrete stable on the ground floor and 
all modern barn equipment is only a mass of ruin and ashes. The cattle which 
burned in the barn were mostly fine graded Holsteins. The loss of the cattle and 
horses alone totals at least $2500.
The fire was discovered by elder daughter at 9:30 when the children were about to 
retire. The elder daughter, aged 16, was pulling down the shade when she saw the 
barn aflame on one end. Mr. and Mrs. William Engelland sleep over at the Range 
Lone Cheese Factory which is a mile and a half away. Two daughters and a little 
boy were at home alone. The daughter hastily dressed and rushed out to save the 
cattle and horses. She was unable to get at the horses, the lever releasing the 
cattle from the stanchions being on the side where the flames were too severe. 
She was unable to release them. She rushed back into the house and telephoned her 
parents and several neighbors. The nearby farmers were aroused and hastened to the 
scene of the blaze in autos and on horseback. Some were thoughtful to bring pails. 
They saved the house, the granary and other buildings from destruction and these 
buildings were on fire several times. The fire lighted the sky to the north of here 
with a red glow and several from here motored out to investigate.
The loss is a severe blow to Mr. Engelland. He had a fine herd of Holstein cattle, 
good horses and a barn to be proud of. Its destruction in a few hours with all the 
contents is enough to discourage the stoutest heart but Mr. Engelland is already 
planning to rebuild. He knows that lamentation and regret will avail nothing. But a 
resolute purpose and action will win against odds. He will build a new modern barn 
in the spring and procure new graded stock and horses and machinery.

The news of the marriage which took place at Waukegan, Ill., on Oct. 1, was a complete surprise to his many friends here who were not even aware that he had a dear lady friend or that he was matrimonially inclined. 
The bride, Miss Evelyn P. Buechner, is an estimable young lady of Sawyer, Wis.;, who has often visited here and through her excellent traits has made many friends here. Following the wedding a reception was held at the home of the bride's parents, relatives from this city being present.  The groom holds an important position at the office of Aluminum Goods Plant 1. He is popular and active in many lines. Among the numerous offices he holds are: Commander of the Robert E. Burns Post American Legion, Chairman of the Entertainment Committee at the Lions Club, member of the Board of Governors of the Boy's Work Association, president of the Mirro Bowling League, member of the Council of the Aluminum Goods Recreation Club.  He is a graduate of the Two Rivers High School. Fanslaus will reside at 1511 Twenty-First St.

ANDREW FORTIN    (d. 1959)

Former Pitcher Andrew Fortin Dies at Age 57
TWO RIVERS-Andrew Thomas (Lefty) Fortin, one of the top baseball pitchers to 
ever play for a Two Rivers team, died early Thursday evening while working at 
Paragon Electric Co. He was 57.
Funeral services will be at 9 a.m. Monday at the St. James Episcopal Church, 
Manitowoc, with the Rev. William Harvey officiating. Burial will be at the 
Forest View Cemetery, Two Rivers.
"Wee Andy," as he was known to thousands of baseball fans throughout the Midwest, 
was born on Aug. 29, 1901 at Minneapolis the son of the late Edmund and Harriet 
Jirard Fortin. He attended grade school and high school at Minneapolis at which 
time he played football and baseball.
On Oct. 12, 1921, he married the former Gertrude Egner at Minneapolis.
Played at 16
When Fortin was 16 years of age he tried out his talented left-wing for the Fawn 
Athletic Cub of Minneapolis. He remained with the amateur aggregation until 1919 
when he was signed with the Aberdeen club of the South Dakota League, later going 
to Langford, South Dakota.
In 1921, Fortin left the Western city for a fling at semi-pro ball, joining the 
Wausau Lumberjacks where he pitched brilliant ball for five years.
In 1927, Fortin was attracted by the mighty Mirro team which was being formed by 
Ty Lober and Seymour Althen. At the time Manager Lober was organizing a powerful 
ball club which included players like Lenny Zelinski, Dr. A.V. Delmore, Chuch 
Wetmore, Ray Handy, Walter Warden, Tommy Lawrence, Elmer (Mac) Muldowney and the 
great Ernest (Red) Evans, to name just a few.
When Fortin joined the Cool City forces which at the time were in the powerful 
Midwest League which included the Racine Belles, Beloit Fairies, the Kenosha 
Simmons, the Milwaukee Oils and Reds, Sheboygan Charis and Manitowoc, he was used 
as the one-two pitching punch.
"Red" Evans was the right hander and Fortin was the lefty and the combination was 
paractically unbeatable. At one time the team won the state championship.
Games were played at the old Hartung park and crowds of more than 3,000 would jam 
the bleachers to see "Red" and "Lefty" hurl. The Mirro baseball team was regarded 
as one of the strongest in the midwest and at that time everybody went to the ball 
game when a Sunday afternoon rolled around.
Was Greatest
Fortin was the ace left-handed pitcher in this area during his day and his dips and 
sharp breaks which roared in from the portside kept baffling the batters for many 
years. After Fortin left the mound, he continued to be highly interested in baseball 
and for a time managed the Two Rivers club.
He was a member of the Old-timers Baseball Assn.
For many years, Fortin was employed at the Mirro Co. and six years ago took up a 
position at Paragon where he was a member of the Goodfellowship Club. He also was 
a member of the Two Rivers Lodge 200 F. & A.M.
Among Fortin's many accomplishment, he hurled four no-hitters prior to coming to 
the city and was the first pitcher to hurl at Hartung Park and the first moundman 
to appear on the hill when Walsh Field was officially opened.
He is survived by his wife, one daughter, Mrs. William Bennington, of Manitowoc; 
three grandchildren, Dean, Mary Jane and James Andrew Bennington, and five sisters, 
Mrs. Euguen Begin, of Duluth, Mrs. Gerald Cooler, Minneapolis, Mrs. Cecil Mc Ardle, 
of Coon Rapids, Minn., Mrs. Raleigh Newton, of San Pedro, Calif., and Mrs. Bert 
Marchand, of Los Angeles, Calif. A son, Andrew Dean, preceded him in death in 1932.
Friends may call at the Deja & Martin Funeral Chapels, Two Rivers, after 3 p.m. 
Sunday.

HENRY P. FUNK

To Hold Inquest Into Death of Two Rivers Man Killed on Road
Accident Proves Fatal to Henry P. Funk; Jury Meets Tonight
County authorities today ordered an inquest into the death of Henry P. Funk, 
41, of Two Rivers route 2, who was fatally injured in an accident involving 
four automobiles on Memorial drive approximately halfway between Manitowoc 
and Two Rivers at midnight Friday. Funk died of a basal skull fracture at 
Holy Family hospital Sunday morning at 2:30 o'clock.
(snip-grand jury info)
Mystery still surrounds the manner in which Funk came to his death. Funk's car 
skidded off the road, went into the ditch and the rear end swung around up 
against a fence. George Pieschel, also of Two Rivers route 2, attempted to pull 
Funk's car out of the ditch. One effort failed and Pieschel backed his car onto 
the shoulder of the road to shorten the hitch and get better traction. The 
Pieschel car was struck by two other automobiles coming from Two Rivers toward 
Manitowoc and after these accidents Funk's body was found lying in the center 
lane of the highway about 75 feet from the Pieschel car which had been swung 
around at a 90-degree angle.
Dist Att. Danielson said his investigation showed that the Pieschel car was 
struck first by an automobile driven by Clarence Keubke, 509 Huron street, and 
later by a car driven by Harley Van Lanne, 819 Buffalo street. Several witnesses 
to the accident will be called to testify at the inquest, Mr. Danielson said.
Born in County
Funk was removed to the hospital by Russell Franke, 1331 S. 15th street, and 
Melvin Gulseth, 945 N. 11nd street. Gulseth was a passenger in the car driven 
by Van Lannen.
Funk was born in the town of Two Rivers on June 20, 1900, a son of Mrs. Emma Funk 
and the late Jacob Funk. Most of his life was spent in Manitowoc county.
Funeral services will be held at Two Rivers Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The 
rites will be held from the Klein & Stangel, Inc., funeral home with the Rev. T.A. 
Hawkes of Grace Congregational church officiating. Interment will be in the 
Bohemian National (sic) cemetery at Francis Creek.
On Nov. 24, 1925 he married Miss Erna Springstube and the couple lived on a farm 
in Two Rivers route 2.
Widow Survives
Survivors are the widow; mother, Mrs. Emma Funk of Two Rivers; six daughters, 
Violet, Laverne, Arlene, Edna, June and Marlene at home; one son, Raymond, at home; 
and four sisters, Mrs. Herman Kosble, Milwaukee, Mrs. Frank Schepper and Mrs. John 
Flegle of Two Rivers and Mrs. Albertina Bastian of Milwaukee.
The body may be viewed at the funeral home until the time of the services.
