HARRY R. CHASE

Coal Passer Killed by Car
Harry Chase, 65, Crossing Road Is Hit By Auto
Accident Occurs on Memorial Drive at 9 O'Clock Friday Night 
Harry R. Chase, (photo) 65-year-old coal passer on carferries of the Ann 
Arbor line out of here, was killed instantly shortly after 9 o'clock Friday 
night as he was struck by a car while walking across Memorial drive midway 
between Manitowoc and Two Rivers, a short distance from his home.
The death is the 15th traffic fatality of the year in Manitowoc county.
According to information gathered by Coroner Theodore Teitgen and traffic 
officers William Ladwig and John Meneau, Chase was crossing to the lake side 
of the busy highway where he intended to look at the water for a few moments 
before recrossing to the inner lane to board the Manitowoc-bound bus which 
would bring him to work on the carferry here.
Driver Not Held
A car driven by Paul C. Tadych, 33, of 1020 Washington street, this city, bound 
from Two Rivers to Manitowoc, struck Chase near the center of the three-lane 
highway. Dr. Teitgen said that Chase suffered a broken neck, skull fracture and 
numerous internal injuries. He was dead when the coroner arrived shortly after 
the accident.
Tadych told the coroner that Chase walked out onto the inner lane in front of 
his car, and although he swerved to the left in an attempt to avoid hitting the 
man, he was unable to do so. Tadych was not held. Dr. Teitgen said an inquest 
will be held.
Funeral services for Mr. Chase will be held at 3 p.m. Monday at the Pfeffer 
funeral home. Burial will be in Forest View cemetery, Two Rivers.
Native of Michigan
He was born in Michigan in 1883 and has been employed on the lakes for years. 
He was with the Ann Arbor line as a coal passer and recently was employed on 
the Ann Arbor No. 6. He has resided here for more than 25 years.
In 1915 he married Miss Alma Wolford. She survives with a son, Milford of 
Rockwood; daughter, Mrs. Ben Ford, Jr., of route 2, Two Rivers; two sisters, 
Mrs. Frances Rosa of Lake Ann, Mich., Mrs. Grace Mollory, of Detroit; four

CLYDE E. CHIZEK

Clyde Chizek, Prominent Athlete, Dies Here
FOUND DEAD IN BED; IS VICTIM HEART ATTACK
Youthful Swimmer Had Been Recovering From Long Illness At Home
Clyde Chizek, 23, one of the leading young swimmers in the state, was found 
dead in bed at his home at 1314 21st street, Sunday morning, after an 
apparent comeback from a period of ill health. Death was due to a heart 
attack.
The young athlete, whose achievements at Washington high school made history 
in Wisconsin, and whose fame broadened into the Big Ten Conference when a 
student at the University of Wisconsin, had a career before him which was 
expected to carry him to national fame.
Young Chizek was well on the road to recovery after suffering from an abcess 
in the head and later from a long seige of inflammatory rheumatism, that 
brought down his weight from 170 to 100 pounds. He regained most of his weight 
in the last three months.
A happy Christmas after many months of convalescing was looked forward to by 
the youth, and his grieving parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Chizek. It is believed 
that the excitement probably taxed his heart. He was found dead in bed shortly 
before 6 o'clock in the morning, having passed away probably an hour before.
Funeral Thursday
Funeral services will be held Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the funeral 
home of Klein and Stangel, with the Rev. Thomas A. Hawkes officiating. Burial 
will be in Forest View cemetery. The remains can be viewed at the funeral home 
until the time of the funeral.
Clyde Chizek was born in this city May 5, 1910 and made his home here all his 
life, with the exception of two years at Madison where he attended the 
university. He graduated from Washington high school in 1928 and in September 
of that year entered the University of Wisconsin.
A powerful youth, young Chizek rapidly gained attention in his freshman year 
at the high school in swimming and in his sophomore year led the swimming team 
to state-wide note in interscholastic meets. His most outstanding events were 
the 40 and 100 yard free style, setting two state records for high school 
swimmers. His 40-yard free style record still stands.
Good Prospect
Entering the University of Wisconsin, Chizek appeared like Big Ten timber in 
his first year. He was considered by Coach Joe Steinauer as one of the greatest 
conference prospects in the history of the school. In his sophomore year he 
became a regular member of the university swimming team, and distinguished 
himself in a quadrangular Big Ten meet at Chicago two years ago, setting a recod 
in the 40-yard free style.
Leaving the university for a year in which to earn sufficient money to return 
the following year, the youth pursued his swimming career and became a member 
of the Milwaukee Athletic Club swimming team, taking part in a number of big 
meets. He was given a life membership card to the Milwauke Athletic club.
Well liked by all who knew him, young Chizek was one of the most popular young 
men of the city. He possessed exemplary habits.
In apparently good health, he planned to drive to New London Christmas morning 
with his fiancee, Miss Anna Fritz to spend the holidays with the latter's parents. 
Plans had already been made for the trip and the youth's parents were to accompany 
him.

and Laura Agnes Fulton Christiansen. He attended Manitowoc public schools and 
was graduated from Manitowoc High School with the class of 1913. He then 
enrolled at the old Milwaukee Normal School and upon graduation in 1915 became 
principal of Oxford High School in Marquette County. With the advent of the 
United States into World War I he left his teaching post to enroll in the 
Valparaiso Radio and Telephone School, Valparaiso, Ind., and in 1918 entered 
the Merchant Marine.
After World War I Atty. Christiansen returned to Valparaiso where he completed 
a law course in 1924. He then returned to the Merchant Marine, becoming a master 
of steam vessels with salt water license.
In Marine Law
Leaving the Merchant Marine, Atty. Christiansen started to practice law at 
Baltimore, Md., in 1926. In 1928, he moved to Boston, Mass., to pursue his 
practice, specializing in marine law, becoming a senior partner of the firm of 
Christiansen and Sanford. In 1943, he returned to the Merchant Marine and for 
the remainder of World War II was a convoy commodore of American and British 
convoys, assigned to the Murmansk, Russia, run. In 1946, he returned to his law 
practice in Boston and then decided to return to Wisconsin. He got his old job 
back as principal of Oxford High School, and in 1952 was elected district 
attorney of Marquette County. Completing four terms he returned to Manitowoc 
County and established a law office here. With the incorporation of the village 
in 1960 he became the village legal counsel.
In 1964, Atty. Christiansen was the Republican candidate for the office of 
district attorney of Manitowoc County.
At Oxford, Atty. Christiansen was active in Masonic circles and served as a 
worshipful master of the Oxford Lodge of Masons. His father, the late Fred W. 
Christiansen, who for years served as principal of the old Manitowoc County 
Normal School and who died in his mid-nineties a number of years ago, had been 
a member of the Two Rivers Masonic Lodge for nearly 70 years.

Outside my window, a new day I see.
And only I can determine what kind of day it will be.
It can be busy and sunny, laughing and gay,
Or boring and cold, unhappy and grey.
My own state of mind is the determining key,
For I am only the person I let myself be.
I can be thoughtful and do all I can to help,
Or be selfish and think just of myself.
I can enjoy what I do and make it seem fun,
Or gripe and complain and make it hard on someone.
I can be patient with those who may not understand,
Or be little and hurt them as much as I can.
But I have faith in myself,
And believe what I say,
And I personally intend to make the best of each day.

ROLAND C. DEWEY    (This was sent in by his daughter)



He was resident of Lakeview Health Center in West Salem, Wisconsin and died there.  
No one was notified that he died!  His brother received something from a company 
to preserve his obituary write up and that was the "first" anyone knew that he 
died!  The whole funeral, burial and all had been done in West Salem.  My father 
had a plot already in Two Rivers and my Aunt and Uncle (his brother and 
sister-in-law) wanted him in Two Rivers with the family....so, they had 
investigated how they could go about having him transferred. That is the reason 
for the October date there in Two Rivers, where they later held a church service 
at St. Marks for him.  My mother and father had been divorced for many years.
