AUGUST SCHAEFER

5 Manitowoc Persons Die in Auto Crashes
Four Killed When Train Hits Automobile at Denmark Crossing; 83-Year-Old 
Woman Victim When Car Overturns on Highway 141 Near St. Wendel
List of Dead
The dead:
August Schaefer, 23, 1622 16th street, Two Rivers, instantly killed when 
his car was hit by a North Western train at Denmark.
(list not transcribed..accounts are in with their respective cem. entries)
4 Killed at Crossing
Occupants of the Schaefer car were killed as they were returning to Manitowoc 
from a dance at Green Bay at 2 o'clock Sunday morning. They were headed east 
through the village of Denmark when they reached the railroad tracks just as 
the southbound train of the Chicago and North Western railroad, No. 112, due 
in Manitowoc at 2:20 a.m., was crossing the intersection. The train hit the 
roadster next to the driver's seat and carried it over a quarter of a mile up 
the track before it was able to stop. The car was taken from the front of the 
train opposite the Pet Milk company condensery.
Schaefer was thrown out of the car onto the cow-catcher of the train, between 
the car and the engine. The other three occupants of the roadster were jammed 
inside the machine. Schaefer was crushed almost beyond recognition. The other 
three were badly mangled. It took almost an hour to take Schaefer's body from 
the cow-catcher of the train.
It was some time after the accident before the bodies were identified. Schaefer, 
whose name was traced through the license number of the car, was the first to 
be identified.

FRENCH GIRL AT SCHMITT RESIDENCE
Two Rivers - Mon. Aug. 3, 1953 - Two Rivers Reporter
When the 1953-54 school term opens at the Two Rivers High School next month, members 
of the senior class will have an opportunity to meet and study with an exchange student 
from France, who has received an American Field Service Scholarship for one year.
She is 17-year old Annie Geoffroy of Annecy, France, who arrived by bus in Two Rivers 
Sunday from New York City, where she had spent several days sightseeing.  Previous to 
her New York visit she spent some time in Canada.
The young visitor from across the ocean will live at the home of a Two Rivers architect 
and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester Schmitt, Rt. 2, Two Rivers.
Within a few hours after her arrival in Two Rivers, she was given a real taste of 
Americana when she attended the Ringling Brothers and Barnum circus in Manitowoc Sunday 
evening.
Mrs. Schmitt, who will temporarily act as her mother during the coming year said: Annie 
really was dead tired when we came home last night, and I imagine it will take her a 
little while to calm down after all the excitement she has experienced since she arrived 
in the United States.  Her knowledge of the English language is still quite limited, 
and she, no doubt, will have trouble understanding our conversation for some time.  
It is fortunate that she did come to Two Rivers a month before school opens, because 
now she will have a chance to meet some of her future classmates and become fluent in 
speaking our language, before the hubbub of the school life gets underway.
Miss Geoffroy is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jean Geoffroy and she has a 14-year-old 
sister.  Her father operates a drapery and cotton goods business in Annecy.
Her stay in Two Rivers is being sponsored by the Rotary Club, and arrangements for 
locating a home at which she can remain for the year were handled by Mrs. A.M. Klaus, 
AFS representative in Two Rivers.
Another exchange student from Germany is expected to arrive later this month and will 
live at the Paul Hessel residence.  Matt F.C. Konop, co-chairman of the exchange student 
project in Two Rivers and a member of the Knights of Columbus, was in charge of finding 
a home for the German boy.
In Manitowoc four foreign students will be enrolled the coming year at Lincoln High School.

Perfect Harmony In This Family
Schmitt Brothers Quartet Champs
Wisconsin Singers Win Before 7,000
Toledo Blade, Sunday, June 10, 1951
The four Schmitt brothers, members of a Two Rivers, Wis., family of 17 who have been 
barbershop singing only 16 months, harmonized their way to the 1951 international 
championship of the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet 
Singing in America.
Billed simply as the “Schmitt Brothers,” the new champions sang their way to top honors 
in the field of medalist quartets who competed last night at the Sports Arena before more 
than 7000 persons, one of the largest audiences in the history of the arena.
The brothers now represent the cream of 40 of the finest barbershop quartets in the country 
that competed in the 13th annual SPEBSQSA convention here this week.
First Sang In Choir
The brothers - James, 20; Joseph, 25; Paul, 22, and Francis, 35 - sang together for the 
first time 16 months ago when the priest of little St. Luke’s Church in Two Rivers asked 
them to pinch-hit in the church choir.
In second place were the Keystone Quads, Sharon, PA.  The Clef Dwellers, Oakland County, 
Mich., finished third; the Four Chorders, London, Ont., fourth, and the Antlers, Miami, 
Fla., fifth.
Whipling Melodies
The four Schmitt’s received the winning nod from the 15 sharp-eyed judges for their 
renditions of “There’s a New Gang on the Corner” and “Great Smoky Mountains in Dixie.”
Second place winners, the Keystone Quads, sang “Red Lips” and “How I Wish I Could Help the 
Sandman.”
The medalist contest last night was the highlight of the 5-day convention, which brought 
to Toledo more than 3200 barbershop singing devotees from all 48 states and Canada.  Final 
fun fest of the convention was the annual Sunday morning “after-glow” breakfast and 
community singing in the Commodore Perry Hotel today.

Leader Joe Schmitt Mourned
The Lakeshore Area today is mourning the death of one of its most esteemed citizens, 
Joseph P. Schmitt, president of the Manitowoc-Two Rivers Chamber of Commerce.  Schmitt, 
58, died late Wednesday afternoon in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., where he was vacationing with 
his wife, Toni, and his brothers, Father Leo Schmitt and Father John Schmitt, and sisters 
Mrs. Agnes Taddy and Louise Schmitt.
Services will be held Monday at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in Two Rivers.  Deja & 
Martin Funeral Chapels, 1800 Washington, Two Rivers, is in charge of arrangements.  The 
Schmitts went to Florida Jan. 14 and planned to return today.  Schmitt expected to be at 
work at the Chamber office Friday morning, coordinating plans for the annual Chamber of 
Commerce dinner meeting Feb. 13 and working on other chamber business.  Cause of death 
was not  immediately known.  Born July 17, 1926, Schmitt was educated at St. Luke's 
Parochial School, Two Rivers; Two Rivers Washington High School; and Marquette University, 
Milwaukee, where he earned a degree in philosophy in 1950.  
He also completed six annual week-long courses at the Institute of Organizational Management 
(US Chamber of Commerce), five years at the University of Notre Dame and one year at the 
University of Georgia (1974-79).
Schmitt served in the Army from 1944-47, worked in the family retail lumber business from 
1950 to 1956, then purchased a retail lumber company in Manitowoc, the former J&J Schmitt 
Lumber Co., with his brother James in 1965.  Schmitt became president of the Chamber of 
Commerce in 1974.  He had served on the chamber Board of Directors from 1967-73, and was 
chief volunteer officer of the chamber in 1971 and 1973.  He also was the current chairman 
of the Wisconsin Private Sector Initiative Program, Inc., currently serving on the 
selections committee for interviewing applicants for appointments to service academies, 
for which he attended a meeting in Florida, on shortly before leaving for and was also 
serving on the Superintendent/Community Council for the Manitowoc Public School District, 
the last meeting of which he attended Jan. 3.
Active in local and state affairs, the Two Rivers native held many positions during his 
lifetime and was a member of numerous organizations, boards and committees.  He was a past 
president of the Wisconsin Chamber of Commerce Executives; a member of the Board of 
Directors of the Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce Association; the Private Industry 
Council; Balance of State; member of the East Wisconsin Waters Region; chairman of the 
Lake Michigan Area Manpower Planning Board; a chairman of the Industrial Committee for 
the 1983 Manitowoc United Way campaign; chairman of the Manitowoc County Overall Economic 
Development Program; and a member of the Silver Lake College Corporation Board.  He was 
also a member of the Manitowoc Rotary Club, holding the president's post in 1972; member 
and past Exalted Ruler of the Two Rivers Elks Club; past member and president of the 
Green Bay Diocesan Board of Education (1971-77); past member of the Two Rivers Board of 
Education (1959-69); Holy Redeemer Board of Education (1960-70); and Roncalli High School 
Board of Education.
Musically inclined, Schmitt sang tenor for the famous Schmitt Brothers Barbershop Quartet 
of Two Rivers, named 1951 International Champions after they had been singing together 
only 16 months.  In the years that followed. the quartet, consisting of Joe, Fran, James 
and Paul, sang more than 3000 programs from coast to coast and in Canada.
They sang on the Arthur Godfrey radio show, the Ed Sullivan Show, The Lawrence Welk Show, 
toured Army camps in Alaska in 1952, and appeared in the Carnegie Hall in New York.  All 
in all, they traveled more than a million miles to sing.  They also were headliners for 
many local parades of quartets and sang for many organizations and special events. In 1983, 
the quartet performed for the Roncalli High School music department's benefit concert to 
raise money to send the school's concert choir on a trip to Washington, D.C.
As one would surmise, Schmitt's involvement through the years resulted in many awards 
and honors.  In February 1980, he received a special Community Service Award from the 
Chamber of Commerce for his work in 1979.  It took the place of the chamber's annual 
Speak-Up Award that year, because as then chamber special events chairman Bill Manis 
explained, a chamber executive couldn't receive a Speak-Up Award, but because we wanted 
to honor Joe for all his special efforts in representing the area so well, they called it 
a special Community Service Award.
In 1982, Schmitt was the recipient of the Manitowoc/Two Rivers YMCA Community Service 
Award; he received the Manitowoc County Dairy Promotion Committee's Outstanding Citizen 
Award in 1980 for his promotion of agriculture in the county and his Farm of the Week 
programs sponsored by the chamber; he was selected Business Person of the Year in 1983 by 
the Future Business Leaders of America, an award in recognition of his guidance, 
inspiration and support of the efforts and programs of the FBLA; was the recipient of the 
Manitowoc Lions Club's Distinguished Service Award in 1980 for his many years of community 
service in fields of education, entertainment, business and industrial development, and 
general promotion of the Lakeshore Area; and in 1980, the Schmitt Brothers Quartet was 
honored with the Community Service Award from the Wisconsin Music Educators Association 
for outstanding contributions to the field of music by persons not in education.
Schmitt married LaVerne (Toni) Antonie in 1949, and the couple has five sons and four 
daughters.  He is survived by his wife, nine children and their families.  Schmitt grew 
up in a family of 17 children, 11 boys and six girls.

b. 1623 18th Street, Two Rivers, WI
Son of Henry John and Anna Katherine (Geimer) Schmitt
Husband of Genevieve Mary (Emond) Schmitt
m. 16 Jun 1926, St. Luke Catholic Ch., Two Rivers, WI

Wedding - Two Rivers Reporter, June 18, 1926
At a pretty June wedding Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock at St. Luke's Church, Miss 
Genevieve Emond, daughter of George Emond, 1722 Sixteenth Street, became the bride 
of Sylvester Schmitt, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Schmitt, 1623 Eighteenth Street.  
The ceremony was attended by relatives and a very large gathering of friends.

*********
Editors Note: Sylvester Schmitt began working at the Schmitt Lumber Co. in Two Rivers 
after his graduation from St. Norberts High School in 1923.  This lumber company was 
owned by his father in partnership with his father’s brothers and several local 
businessmen.  Sylvester’s job, in addition to being the company accountant, did design 
work for home construction and materials lists for local building contractors.  This 
was a service the lumber company provided to bolster lumber sales.
As the depression of the late 20’s got under way, Sylvester wanted his father to 
foreclose on delinquent accounts as an opportunity to seize customers assets and 
thereby increase the assets of the lumber company.  Henry Schmitt disagreed with his 
son and told him that he would not allow that sort of business conduct because these 
customers were the same people who helped the company grow during better times.
Sylvester persisted in demanding that these foreclosures take place.  As a result, 
Henry Schmitt told Sylvester to seek employment elsewhere.  Though jobs were hard to 
find and Sylvester had some mouths to feed at home, he landed a job at the Hamilton 
Manufacturing Co. as a draftsman.
This job was short lived as he disliked the loss of flexibility he had at the lumber 
company.  So, after about two years he quit after getting a Wisconsin State license 
to do architectural design work.  During the time spent at the Hamilton Co., he played 
in the company band..  His instrument was an alto saxophone which remains in the family 
today.
Sylvester remained indifferent to his father for his refusing to give him mortgage 
money for Sylvester’s home on School Street.  Henry had struck a deal with local bankers 
that if any of his past customers were at the brink of foreclosure, the lumber company 
would provide the credit to keep the customer afloat.  Most of this money was eventually 
recovered during the post depression days but the company wrote off a sizable amount of 
bad debts.

THERESA SCHORN

SUICIDE
A series of wild escapades of wild revelry intermixed with a love affair which 
had engulfed her for a year or more prompted Theresa Shorn(sic), this city, to 
take carbolic acid at 11 o'clock last Sunday evening, thereby causing her death 
before physicians could arrive on the scene of the tragedy. Coroner W.G. Kemper 
immediately investigated and found that it was plain suicide on the part of the 
deceased.
Miss Shorn, who was 28 years of age, returned from Appleton where she was 
implicated in an unfortunate case where she was held with a man, a former 
resident of this city and also charged with shoplifting. Mrs. Shorn, mother of 
the unfortunate girl, heard a cry shortly before midnight. On closer investigation 
she found the girl on the floor of her room in a struggle against the deadly 
effects of the carbolic acid. She had drained the full contents of the bottle 
and death was inevitable. The body of the girl was removed to the undertaking 
rooms of the Beduhn and Goetz Parlors to await the funeral arrangements.
The Shorn girl was involved in a clandestine love affair and this is believed to 
have prompted her to take her life. The man formerly lived in Two Rivers and is 
now making his home in Appleton. Miss Shorn is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 
Louis Shorn. Her mother resides in this city while the father has been an inmate 
of an Oshkosh hospital for some time. -- Two Rivers Chronicle

PAUL W. SCHWANTES

Farmer Killed Aiding Stalled Car’s Owner
Passing Autos Strike Tractor and Its Driver 
William Schwantes Is Victim, Stayed Home to Play Safe
MANITOWOC—Coroner Dr. Theodore Teitgen said Monday there will be an inquest 
into the death of William (Paul) Schwantes, 30 year old Rt. 2, Manitowoc, 
farmer who was killed Friday night while pulling a stalled car out of a ditch 
with his tractor.
Dr. Teitgen said that instant death resulted from a caved in skull which 
created a cerebral hemorrhage, a broken neck and back and fractures of both 
arms and legs.
The accident happened at 11:15 p.m. Friday on County Trunk D, a mile east of 
Soggot’s Corners. County traffic police reported that Myron Farr skidded off 
the road and went to the Schwantes home for help.
Schwantes got out of his tractor and was pulling the Farr auto out of the ditch 
when a westbound car driven by (private), of ???? Bellevue St., Two Rivers, 
struck the tractor and knocked Schwantes to the pavement.
Dr. Teitgen said that Kennedy’s passengers told him that Schwantes was still 
alive after the impact. They halted their car and shouted to him to get up 
before a second westbound car struck him. The teen-agers in the first car said 
that Schwantes got up and started to crawl for the ditch when (private), 17 
year old Valders motorist, struck him. Death was instantaneous.
The coroner said, “Weather conditions were terrible. You couldn’t see 10 feet 
ahead of you. I drove out to the accident at 15 miles per hour. The county 
traffic men told me they drove only 20.” Despite the blinding fog, both Kennedy 
and Stenzel admitted they were driving 45 miles per hour.”
Dead at Accident Scene 
Dr. Teitgen pronounced Schwantes dead at the accident scene and the body was 
taken to the Klein and Stangel Funeral Home in Two Rivers. 
Schwantes’ death occurred despite a decision to spend New Year’s Eve at home, 
according to unofficial reports. He and his wife decided to remain at home 
thinking “it would be safer.”
