URBAN GAGNON

URBAN GAGNON, 48, WELL KNOWN FISHERMAN DIES SUDDENLY
HEART ATTACK FATAL ON TRIP TO BAYFIELD
Enroute With Partner To Sell Tug Gust, When He Is Taken Ill
Death's summons came suddenly to Urban Gagnon, 48, well known Two Rivers 
fisherman, who was stricken with a heart attack while en route on a 
motor trip with his partners, to dispose of their first tug Henry Gust, 
to Bayfield, Wis. parties. Telephone messages received here this morning 
advised that Mr. Gagnon had died a few hours before in Washburn hospital.
The deceased had left here by motor with his partners Capt. John L. Monka 
and Frank Monka. They were nearing their destination when Mr. Gagnon 
suffered the heart attack and was rushed to the hospital where he died 
later.
Funeral services will be held at St. Lukes church here next Tuesday morning 
with interment at Holy Cross cemetery. The remains are expected to arrive 
here from the north tonight.
Of Pioneer Family
Mr. Gagnon was a pioneer resident of Two Rivers. His parents, the late Mr. 
and Mrs. Joseph Gagnon removed here from Canada when Two Rivers was but a 
small fishing and logging village and settled on the "east side." His father 
also followed the fishing trade. When the elder Gagnon passed away some forty 
years ago Urban Gagnon took up the fishing business and when a young man 
formed a partnership with Henry LaFond of the LaFond Fish Co. who now operate 
the tug Faithful.
For seventeen years past the deceased has been associated with John L. and 
Frank Monka in the firm of Monka Bros. and Gagnon, who operated the steam tug 
Henry Gust from a berth in the West Twin river just west of the Washington 
street bridge.
Twenty-seven years ago, Mr. Gagnon was married to Julia Monka, the daughter of 
the late Mr. and Mrs. Franz Monka, pioneers of the county. Besides his widow 
he leaves two sons, Martin and Herman Gagnon both of this city.
He also leaves three sisters, Mrs. David LeClair, of this city, Mrs. Jacob 
Geimer, town of Two Rivers, and Mrs. William Taddy, of this city, and two 
brothers, Joseph Gagnon, town of Branch, and Edward Gagnon, of East Blackstone, 
Mass. There are also three grandchildren.
Had Retired from Business
Following the action of the state in enforcing the two and five-eighths inch 
mesh law, the firm of Monka Bros. and Gagnon retired from the fishing industry. 
Only a week ago they found a purchaser for their tug Henry Gust and their 
equipment, and the trio yesterday had left for Bayfield to close the deal, it 
was said.

grip almost choked him. Garsow's hold was broken and the man went down to 
his death despite every effort to reach him again.
