position at Hamiltons but has spent the past 27 years working at Manitwooc 
Engineering serving at several various positions. He retired at the 4th of January,

AUGUST COCHENET

August Cochenet, Sr., 72, retired Mishicot business man who lived in Two Rivers 
for the past seven years, died at his home in Two Rivers early this morning. 
Death was attributed to a heart stroke.

Gibson April 1, 1865 and remained on a farm there until 1898. In 1889 he married 
Miss Mary Filey, who preceded him in death four years ago.

Notes from Mishicot:
The hotel and saloon building of August Cochinet(sic) caught fire up under the 
roof in some unknown manner last Tuesday evening and because of the lack of 
fire fighting equipment the blaze threatened to develop into a disasterous fire. 
The desperate efforts of a volunteer squad with buckets and several chemical 
extinguishers finally got the fire under control. The upstairs was damaged by 
fire, water and smoke. But the total damage will not exceed $1000. The blaze held 
great possibilities because if it had had a little better start a considerable 
part of the village would have been menaced. The building is one of the oldest 
structures in the village.

Roger Compton of Mishicot Is Lone Victim
Vehicle Strikes Two Poles, Rock, Sideswipes Tree
ROCKWOOD—An automobile carrying seven young people crashed off US Highway 141 
a quarter mile north of this village shortly before 11 p.m. Sunday. One occupant 
was killed and four others were injured, apparently none seriously.
The victim was identified as Roger Wayne Compton, 25, a native of Birmingham, 
Ala., who resided at 242 Main St., Mishicot. He was pronounced dead on arrival 
at Holy Family Hospital, Manitowoc.
Dr. R. G. Strong, acting county coroner, said Compton died almost instantly of 
a skull fracture and broken neck…
The crash occurred, officers said, just minutes after the group had left the 
Quarry beer bar at Rockwood.
The 1959 model car was northbound on 141 when it went out of control on a curve 
in the vicinity of the Paul Kortens farm. The vehicle struck two utility poles 
and a large rock, sideswiped a large tree, went through a fence and also hit a 
highway marker post before returning to the highway. 
Third County Victim
Police said the car came to rest in an upright position with its right side 
ripped off. Compton was seated in the right rear section and his body was found 
just outside the vehicle on the roadway. There apparently were not witnesses to 
the accident.
Doctor Strong said he felt that an inquest should be held into the accident but 
that a final decision would be made by Dr. Theodore A. Teitgen, coroner, who was 
out of the city..
Born at Birmingham 
Compton was born July 18, 1940, at Birmingham, son of Charles and Lois Jacobs 
Compton. He attended schools at Birmingham and Oppton, Ala. He married the former 
Lynn Malfroid Jan. 9, 1960, at Two Rivers, after which time he was employed at
