WILLIAM R. AHEARN Two Rivers - William (Bill) Ahearn peacefully passed away of natural causes in the company of his caregivers at Wisteria Haus of Two Rivers - his home for the past three years. Due to the current pandemic, family members were not able to be at his side but visited him frequently in the past few months. He was two weeks shy of his 102nd birthday. Born in his family home on Washington Street in Two Rivers, Bill the first born twin, and his brother John, survived the flu pandemic of 1918. Bill and John were the 4th and 5th children of William G. and Augusta (Simonis) Ahearn. A life-long resident of Two Rivers, Wisconsin, Bill attended St. Luke Catholic Grade School and graduated from Washington High School in 1938. Bill was preceded in death by his loving wife of 52 years Marion F. (Ruelle). Bill always said, "Marion was the love of my life. She was a great wife, mother and cook!" When Marion became ill in the 1990's, they started attending the Hamilton Senior Center for meals. Bill tirelessly cared for Marion at home throughout her long illness until shortly before her death on April 2, 2004. He entered the Army in October of 1942. Initially deferred because he was considered legally blind in his right eye, Bill was accepted as a noncom....(non combat). After basic training at Ft. Benning, Georgia he served as a Supply Sergeant and was stationed at the office of Military government, Allied Supreme Headquarters in England. From there he moved to France and then Germany. He was discharged in March of 1946, and returned to Two Rivers. Bill was a long time member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post #1248. He spent the next two years "sailing" the Great Lakes with the Merchant Marines for the C. Reiss Coal Co. In 1948, he returned home, met Marion, and decided he was "done sailing because I didn't want anyone else to get her." Bill went to work for Hamilton Mfg. Co in 1948 and worked in the baby furniture department. He obtained a millwright certification at night and transferred to the machine repair department. Eventually he became a group leader, where he worked until his retirement in 1983 at the age of 65. Weather permitting, Bill rode his bike to work every day. Bill and Marion were married on July 7, 1951 at St. Luke's Catholic Church by his uncle and godfather, Rev. Roland Ahearn. He was a life-long member of St. Luke and St. Peter the Fisherman Catholic Parishes. Bill served as an usher and was on the Buildings and Grounds committee. He joined the Knights of Columbus, Council # 1957 of Two Rivers in 1939 and was a member of the 3rd and 4th Degree Knights. He served as Grand Knight in 1975. Last year, Bill was recognized for 80 years of service in the Knights of Columbus. He regularly attended the KC Friday Fish Fry, which Marion managed for over 30 years. Bill also volunteered at the Senior Center, the local food pantry, and various church functions and was a member of the Meistersingers men's choral. Bill was quite the handy man, good with tools and there were few things he couldn't fix. He planted a large garden; enjoyed camping during the summers; was a lifelong league bowler until his mid-80's; and enjoyed traveling with his family including trips to Washington, DC, Colorado and Canada...all via tent or camper. Later, he traveled to California and Arizona to visit his son and family, Italy with Marion, Ireland with a daughter, Panama with friends and a return trip to Washington DC with his sons. His younger son Bill accompanied him on the Honor Flight to visit the WWII Veterans Memorial in Washington DC. In good health, Bill lived alone and continued driving until he was 98 years old. He joined an informal men's retiree group, which met daily for coffee at McDonalds. A 100th birthday celebration was held in his honor, and attended by over 200 guests who traveled from all over the country. True to his wonderful sense of humor, Bill arrived at his party in the back of a hearse driven by his long-time friend, Ken Kasper. A sign on the side of the car read "TEST RUN"! Bill is survived by his two daughters, Susan (Jim) Kandler of Lake Geneva, WI; Julie (Mark) Heckendorf of Brookfield, WI; two sons, Terry (Linda) of Oro Valley, AZ; and Bill (Diane) of Peotone, IL. Bill has nine grandchildren: Sara (Vince) Meno, Lindsay (Erin) Kandler, Haley and Cole Ahearn, William "Bryan" (Hayley) Ahearn, Jeff Ahearn, Will Heckendorf, Wade (Allison) Heckendorf and Holly (Rylan) Lubeck; and four great grandchildren: Grace and Gabriel Meno, William "Preston" and Korbin Ahearn.

He was hurried to this city and at 7 o'clock last night was operated upon. Allie, who is 25 years of age, was working on a boat, which he recently purchased and was engaged in removing nails from some boards. While he was driving a nail one of the boards, the large spike bounded from the floor and struck him in the face, the pointed end of the nail penetrating the eyeball, terribly lacerating it and destroying the optic. Mr. Allie, who suffered greatly from the injury, was assisted to a physician's office where an examination revealed that there was no hope of saving the eye, and he was immediately brought to this city and taken to the hospital and operated upon. The injured man, following the operation, was reported resting easy today. Mr. Allie is married and the father of two children.

Anderley, 34, commander of the Manitowoc County American Legion council, which occurred at 4:10 p.m. Tuesday in the Municipal hospital. He had been a patient at the hospital since last Thursday, when he underwent an operation for appendicitis. Complications set in Monday afternoon and he sank rapidly. He was stricken while at his desk at the Hamilton Manufacturing company office last Wednesday afternoon. Funeral services will be held in St. Luke's Catholic church at 9 o'clock Saturday morning, with the very Rev. Dean C. V. Hugo officiating. Interment will be in Holy Cross cemetery.The body will be in state at the Beduhn and Goetz funeral home from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. Thursday, and from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday, and on Saturday until 8:30 a.m. Military Escort Full military escort will be accorded the deceased. The Robert E. Burns Post 165, American Legion firing squad and drill team of which he was an active member will participate and the entire membership of the Legion organization here and representative from every Legion post in the county will attend. Members of the Eleven Gold Star Post 1248, veterans of Foreign Wars, of which Mr. Anderley was also a member, will also attend the services. Members of the Guy Drews post will meet at Tenth and Washington streets Saturday at 8 a.m. to attend the funeral in a body. They will wear their overseas caps. Because of the death of Mr. Anderley, the initiation of the new county voiture of the 40 and 8, which was to be held here on Saturday, was called off today. Mr. Anderley was recently elected chef de gare of the new county voiture, which he himself organized with the aid of ___ Legionnaires. Frank Joseph Anderley was born in the town of Franklin, Kewaunee county, Oct. 3, 1899, a son of the late John and Barbara Anderley, early residents of the town. Receiving his early schooling at Stangelville he entered the Stevens Point State Teachers' college, and in 1916 and 1917 was an instructor in the Stangelville schools. Enlisted in Navy Resigning as a school teacher, Mr. Anderley enlisted in the United States Navy in Milwaukee on June 17, 1917, being one of the youngest from this territory to enter service. From Milwaukee he was assigned to the naval training station at Seattle, Wash., and later in the station at Bremerton, Wash. Following his service at Bremerton he was placed on a receiving ship at Bay Ridge, New York and later assigned to the U.S.S. President Grant. He made eight trips overseas, and it is recalled that he served on the craft that returned the A.E.F. Archangel, Russia, troops in the states. The Rev. Father John Landowski and Fred Mertens of this city were in this force. Mr. Anderley was discharged from service on Sept. 30, 1931 at the great Lakes, Ill., Naval Training Station. During Mr. Anderley' service on the Pacific coast he was a member of the navy's championship basketball team. Directed Survey Mr. Anderley's outstanding work was his direction of the 1930 American Legion Community survey by the Robert E. Burns post, which brought national recognition to the local organization. As historian of the post, Mr. Anderley saw the prospects of an exceptional piece of community service and he willingly accepted the appoint- ment of general chairman of the committees which conducted the survey. A copy of the elaborate survey has been placed in the Joseph Mann library here. In recognition of a fine record of service in the Robert E. Burns post, Mr. Anderley was elected commander in 1932, serving for one year. The following year he received unanimous endorsement for the commandership of the newly formed County American Legion Council and he became its first leader. His term was to have expired in October and he was to be succeeded by Edward. J. Carlier of Manitowoc. A month ago when the county voiture of the Forty and Eight was organized among Legionnaires, Mr. Anderley again was the choice for the initial leader and became chef de gare. An initiation in which hundreds of Legionnaires of the Forty and Eight from all ports of the state was to have been held here on Saturday. It has been postponed indefinitely. Headed Celebration For two consecutive years the late Legionnaire was general chairman of the American Legion Fourth of July celebrations here and it was through his able leadership that the events were successful. It is recalled that in the last three years he directed Legion post membership teams in opposition to teams led by one of his most intimate friends and comrades, John Mezera. The contest between the two well directed squads brought consistently large increases in the post's membership. Just a few months ago Mr. Anderley joined the nationally known local Robert E. Burns post drill team and made his first appearance with the squad on July 15 at Forestville. Mr. Anderley was an employe of the Hamilton Manufacturing company since 1919, and at the time of his death was head of the time study department. On April 28, 1924 Mr. Anderley was married to Miss Lunette Hanson, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hanson. Four children were born to the couple, of which three survive, and reside at the family home at 1613 24th street. They are Lorraine, 9, Joyce, 6, and Richard 2. He also leaves three sisters, Mrs. James Nejedlo and Mrs. James Hallada of Pilsen and Mrs. Joseph Pilzak of this city, and three brothers, John, Matthew and James, all of Stangelville. Mr. Anderley, besides his affiliation with the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars, was a member of the local council of the Knights of Columbus. Recently he was appointed by Grand Knight Peter. J. Beitzel as lecturer of the order.

He was raised in the poorest conditions imaginable during the Great Depression on a wooded, untamed 40-acre farm. With his three siblings, Ruth (Braun), and twins Albert Andrews and Alice (Richard) they lived 64 miles northwest of Green Bay in Mountain, WI. They had no running water, no electricity, and no mother. The one thing he did have was his beloved father, Earl, who filled his life with love, hope, and inspiration. Bud joined the U.S. Navy in 1951, serving on a destroyer during the Korean War. While in the Navy, Bud met an angel, the love of his life, Shirley Richard, in Two Rivers on July 4th, 1952. They married on July 10, 1954 at St. Luke's Catholic Church in Two Rivers. In 1955, he was honorably discharged and attended the Milwaukee School of Engineering, eventually earning a Development Technician degree in 1957. Bud moved his growing family to South Milwaukee, WI in 1958 where he spent many years raising his six boys. He became very active in St. John's Catholic Church and School, where Bud volunteered on the church council. He held leadership positions involving activities with his children, including Cub Scouts, Little League, and the Youth Center. His love of music expanded beyond country & western music as he relished watching his sons perform in various musical theater productions. The family moved to Kokomo, IN in 1973. While in Kokomo Bud received special recognition for helping save a colleague's life through applying CPR. Bud also single-handily sponsored a nine-member Vietnamese family profoundly changing their lives forever. He worked in the migrant ministry. His love of carpentry enabled him to make extra money renovating recreational rooms, adding screened-in porches, and re-roofing houses throughout Kokomo. A man of many talents, he learned how to square dance, garden, golf, play bridge, and began to traveling abroad. Bud held a variety of leadership positions at AC Spark Plug/Delco Electronics (a subsidiary of GM) in Oak Creek, WI and Kokomo, IN for 34 years, retiring as a senior cost analyst. In 1992, Bud and Shirley began spending winters in Winter Haven, FL which they continued to do for 19 years. They moved from Kokomo to Grand Junction, CO in 1997 and spent 10 years there. Bud put his handyman gifts to work by volunteering for Habitat for Humanity, RSVP, the local soup kitchen, and helping his children remodel their homes. Life came full circle when Bud moved back to his birth town of Two Rivers in 2007. Despite health challenges, he volunteered at Aurora Hospital and St. Peter the Fisherman Church. He also assisted in the care of some of his family and friends. He was a loving Father who cared greatly about his country, community, and family. He was a faithful and caring husband who adored his wife. He was an incredible role model who inspired his sons to be terrific fathers, caring citizens, and honorable men. He enjoyed life, family, music, travel, golf, cards, and, as a shareholder, the Green Bay Packers. Despite his recent struggles with Parkinson's disease later in life, his faith in the Lord was strong and steadfast. He was always quick with a smile, loved to hug, and offered words of wisdom and gentle guidance to many throughout his lifetime. He had a sharp wit and an arsenal of funny sayings. He was a warm, kindhearted, generous man who exemplified integrity. Despite his humble and challenging beginnings, he made a wonderful life for himself, his wife, and his children.

CECILIA GRACE ARLE EXTRA GROUND UNDER WHEELS Cecelia Arle, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Arle, was run over by the East Side street car in front of the Jung store at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon and instantly killed. The shocking accident was witnessed by a large number who were out on Eighth street at the time. The little girl was crossing the street at the time and had reached the center of the track when the motorman, George Thieme sounded the warning bell. The little girl stopped, for an instant and then started back and as she did so was caught on the fender. In her efforts to get out of what she considered a dangerous position, she rolled to the pavement and was dragged beneath the wheels which passed over her body. The wheels passed over her body severing the lower limbs and causing death a few minutes later. Spectators who were standing nearby rushed forward and the little body was carried into the Jung store and Dr. Gutsch summoned. She passed away shortly after being brought into the store. She was unconscious all the time and did not suffer any pain. Mrs. Junek, wife of Dr. J.A. Junek was on the car at the time but did not see the accident being seated in the rear of the car. She heard the little girl cry out and saw the motorman step forward and reverse the controller. As she slighted from the car the injured child was being carried into the store. Cecelia Arle was four years of age, and was a beautiful child, and the sad accident is a great shock to the bereaved parents. The body was removed to the undertaking parlors of Fessler's. Coroner Feagan was notified and a jury empaneled and an inquest will be held. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to Mr. and Mrs. Arle in this hour of their sad bereavement. Sheboygan Press, Wis., Monday, October 25, 1909 pg. 1 ***** DO NOT ATTACH BLAME The inquest over the remains of Cecelia Arle who was run over and killed by a street car late Monday afternoon was called at 10 o'clock this morning in the office of Coroner Feagan. The jurors consisting of Max Kroos, Simon Grasser, A.H. Kalitt, Louis Leverman and Hans Sattler of this city and Herman Forke of Plymouth were taken to the undertaking parlors of Henry Fessler where the remains were viewed and an adjournment taken until afternoon when a number of witnesses were sworn. The jurors were sworn to inquire and ascertain when and by what means Cecelia Arle came to her death returned a verdict finding that death was caused by being run over by a street car of the Sheboygan Light Power & Railway Co. The verdict was returned late this afternoon after several witnesses were sworn including Dr. Gutsch who witnessed the accident and picked up the little body and carried it into the Jung store. Dr. Gutsch testified that the little girl was crossing the street in company with an older girl and had nearly passed the danger point when she hesitated, probably frightened by the approach of the car, and at this time when was struck by the fender. The fender he said tilted up and held her but when she moved in an effort to free herself, the fender tilted down and she was hurled under the wheels. He said that when he picked her up she was dead. He gave it as his opinion that had she remained quiet the car would have been stopped before the fender released her. George Thieme the motorman was nest sown and testified as to the rate of speed he was going and the manner in which the accident occurred. He corroborated the testimony of Dr. Gutsch except that he said the girl was running across the street at the time. The testimony of Dr. Gutsch was that she hesitated undecided whether to go backward or forward when she was stuck. He said the car was going about 5 miles an hour. The full inquest will be given in the Press of Wednesday. BEAUTIFUL CHILD Cecelia Arle was born in Sturgeon Bay April 24, 1905 and came with her parents to this city.

DANIEL J. BAKER Motorcycle Crash Kills Two Young Men Both Thrown Off Vehicle Into Trees Victims From Two Rivers; Police Probing (photo) Injuries received in a motorcycle accident in Point Beach State Forest about four miles northeast of this city proved fatal to a pair of young men from Two Rivers over the weekend. The victims were Robert J. Reis, 20, of 1616-A Washington St., and Daniel J. Baker, 22, of 1403-20th St. Baker died of injuries received in the accident at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Two Rivers Municipal Hospital and Reis passed away shortly before noon Sunday at the same place. Dr. Theodore Teitgen, county coroner, said both men suffered extensive injuries. No Witnesses The accident occurred shortly after 3:15 p.m. Saturday on a road four tenths of a mile inside the state forest entrance at a deceptively sharp curve. County police said there were no apparent witnesses to the crash. The motorcycle on which the youths were riding ran off the curve and hit a clump of birch trees, throwing both off the vehicle. Two girls on a tandem bicycle, (private) of Two Rivers, discovered the accident after hearing faint cries for help by one of the youths. County Police Offices John Hartl and Ray Hronek said the youths had been removed from the scene by ambulance when they arrived to investigate. Forced Off Road Reis told police at the hospital later that the motorcycle was forced off the road by an unidentified oncoming car. The motorcycle was northbound at the time. Police said they were investigating the statement made by Reis but had not been successful in uncovering corroborating evidence. Doctor Tetigen said he would wait to see if there was additional evidence before deciding whether or not to hold an inquest into the accident. Deaths of the two young men raised the county's 1965 traffic fatality toll to seven compared with 11 at this point a year ago. Daniel Baker was born at Two Rivers Nov. 24, 1942, a son of the late Raymond and Mrs. Bernice Hindt Baker Hildebrand. He attended St. Mark and St. Luke Parochial Schools and Washington High School at Two Rivers. He served three years in the Navy and was unemployed at the time of his death. Besides his mother he leaves two half-sisters (private); and a half-brother (private). Funeral services for Daniel J. Baker will be at 9 a.m. Tuesday at Klein and Stangel, Inc., Funeral Home, Two Rivers, the Rev. Gilbert Schneider officiating. Burial will be in Holy Cross Cemetery, Two Rivers.
