JOHN J. TADDY

EX-OFFICER OF TWO RIVERS IS KILLED TODAY
John Taddy, Oil Company Employe and Former Police Officer Dies in Crash on Highway 17
Highways of Manitowoc county claimed their fourth death victim in five days early 
this morning when John Taddy, 42, former Two Rivers police officer and at his 
death bulk station manager of the Deep Rock Oil company at its Two Rivers branch, 
was instantly killed one mile south of Two Rivers at about 2:30 o'clock this 
morning. Death was due to a fractured skull and broken neck which he sustained 
when his car rolled end over end and was completely demolished in the ditch at 
the side of the road.
County authorities, reconstructing the accident shortly after its occurrence, 
believe that Taddy was returning to his home after collecting accounts for the 
company visiting friends and that he was traveling at a high rate of speed. 
Tracks along the sloping embankment bordering the concrete highway indicated 
that he had traveled a considerable distance in the ditch before striking a 
washout which catapulted the car and over end. Sheriff Herman Carstens said he 
believed that the car had rolled over at least twice.
Flung from Car
The sheriff arrived at the scene after 3 o'clock when indications showed that 
the body had lain there for some time, the tracks at the side of the road as 
well as the clothing of the victim being covered with the snow falling at the 
time. The body was about eight feet east and south of the car in the ditch 
while cushions of the Jewett closed car were still further to the north of the 
completely wrecked automobile. Authorities were notified of the accident by 
Harold Netting, this city, who arrived soon after it occurred.
Tracks along the side of the road showed that Taddy on several occasions had 
nearly succeeded in bringing his car out of the deep rut on to the concrete 
and that the washout probably prevented his doing so.
Had Been at Manitowoc
Reports from Two Rivers stated that Taddy and several friends had been playing 
cards at the cottage of a brother of Taddy after the crash victim had been 
summoned to Manitowoc earlier in the evening. He left the group early in the 
morning and was alone in the car while driving back to his home. He was 
believed to be hurrying because of the hour and is thought to have misjudged 
the position of his front wheels to such an extent that he started driving 
along the shoulder.
Brother Is Notified
Soon after the accident the police at Two Rivers were infomed and notified 
Councilman Nic Taddy, a brother of the dead man. Dr. A.P. Zlainik of Two Rivers 
was summoned, and after the man was pronounced dead his body was brought to 
Two Rivers in the Beduhn and Goetz ambulance.
Chief of Police Thad W. Logan, Two Rivers, with William Doolan, Two Rivers, 
district manager of the Deep Rock Oil company and Councilman Taddy completed 
the investigation this morning. At the county jail at Manitowoc, Mr. Doolan was 
given the pocket book which contained Mr. Taddy's collections during the day, 
amounting to $60.70. The wallet was taken from the body by Sheriff Herman 
Carstens, along with the bulk station keys. A note book which Mr. Taddy used 
on his route could not be located on the scene of the accident.
Mr. Taddy had been in the employe of the Deep Rock Oil company for nearly five 
years and had built up a well established route.
Mr. Taddy was born in the town of Two Rivers, October 23, 1890, and is a son 
of Mrs. Nic Taddy, pioneer resident of that city. For many years Mr. Taddy was 
engaged as a fisherman, following his boyhood days on the old homestead farm. 
Later he worked as a carpenter with his brother Nic Taddy and for a time was 
a patrolman on the Two Rivers police force. He was married to Barabra Perdzock 
at Oconto 15 years ago who survives him with a son, Claude, 13, and two 
daughters, Janette, 11, and Leonis, 11 years old.Mr. Taddy is also survived by 
his mother, Mrs. Nic Taddy, ????  ??? Rivers, eight sisters, Mrs. Julia Filliez, 
town of Two Rivers; Mrs. George LeClair, Mrs. Francis LeClair, Mrs. Charles 
Pasek, Mrs. Martin Gagnon, Mrs. Mark Gagnon, all of Two Rivers and Mrs. Frank 
Becker, Green Bay, and Mrs. Joseph Francis, of Sheboygan, and six brothers, 
Joseph, town of Two Rivers; Nic, Paul, William, George and Anton Taddy, all 
of Two Rivers.
Burial on Monday
Funeral services will be held from St. Luke's Catholic church at Two Rivers 
at nine o'clock Monday morning. It is thought that the six brothers of Mr. 
Taddy will act as pallbearers.
Is Fourth Victim
Taddy was the fourth person to die on highways in Manitowoc county since last 
Friday 
night. Charles Reed and Charles Bahr of Plymouth and Kiel respectively, were 
killed in an accident at Kiel Friday night and on Sunday night 13 year old 
Carol Kochan was struck down by a hit and run driver who fled from Francis 
Creek after the girl had sustained fatal injuries.
To Hold No Inquest
County officials said this morning that the death of Taddy was apparently an 
accident and that no inquest would be held. No other automobile was involved 
in the accident and officials are convinced from the track marks that the 
condition of the road's shoulder and possible high rate of speed contributed 
toward the accident.

Richard Theiss Killed; Pinned in Wrecked Auto 
An 18 year old youth from Two Rivers was killed instantly Monday evening when

as he was returning to the home of his girl friend.
Richard W. Theiss, son of Mr. and Mrs. John P. Theiss, of 919-20th st., Two

Skids Into Path 
County traffic police said Theiss was traveling west on Goodwin Road in a 1955 
model Chevrolet two door sedan owned by his girl friend, Carol Bierman, Herman 
Road, Manitowoc. He apparently failed to observe the approaching 69-car freight 
train in time, braked and skidded into the path of the lead diesel unit.

wrecked condition with Theiss pinned in the right front section and partially 
hanging out of the vehicle.

Authorities said Theiss had a tooth extracted by a Two Rivers dentist one or two 
days previously and that he was visiting Monday evening at the Bierman residence 
on Herman Road about a half mile south of the accident scene. While at the Bierman 
home, his mouth started to bleed and he returned to the dentist?s office for 
further treatment. He was on his way back to the Bierman residence in his girl 
friend?s car when the accident occurred. They reportedly planned to be married 
in the near future.

Although we loved her dearly,

A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands put to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.

INJURED LINEMAN IS IMPROVING
Hope is held out for the recovery of Walter Vander Bloemen, lineman for the Two 
Rivers Telephone Company who fell from a telephone pole Monday morning. Vander 
Bloemen was doing repair work on East Seventeenth St., when the belt which was 
holding him to the pole parted and he fell to the cement pavement, a distance of 
18 feet. The belt had a crack in it but he believed it still safe. He was picked 
up and taken to the home of Manville LaFond nearby and after first aid attention 
by a physician, he was taken to Holy Family Hospital.
It was found that he had sustained a broken wrist, fractured rib, skull fracture 
and severe body bruises and his recovery was at first despaired of. But his 
relatives and friends, superintendent Weber and Manager Charles Kirst of the 
Telephone Co., who have been greatly cast down over the accident feel encouraged 
now that the injured man will recover. He regained consciousness several times 
and then lapsed back into a stupor but his mind seemed clear. Vander Bloemen who 
is unmarried, is 32 years of age and has been in the employ of the Telepone Co. 
for 9 years. He has always been a faithful and dependable worker. His many friends 
fervently hope for his full and complete recovery.

After being confined four weeks from the effects of his fall when a snap broke on 
his safety belt, Walter Vander Bloemen is again about. He will not go back to work 
for a few weeks but will resume his job as lineman for the Telephone Co. He feels 
himself very fortunate at having recovered from the severe injuries he sustained 
when he fell from the telephone pole. His injuries included cracked ribs, both 
wrists fractured and a fractured skull. He has almost entirely recovered and will 
be complete restored to his normal physical condition in a short time.

EDMUND VAUDREUIL

TWO RIVERS MAN LOSES LIFE IN LAKE
Stumbles and Falls at Ashtabula, While Working in Dredge Crew
FRIEND IS NEAR DEATH WITH HIM
Two Rivers ? Aug. 30 ? The remains of Edmund Vaudreuil who lost his life by 
drowning at Ashtabula Harbor, Ohio, were brought here last night and burial 
took place this morning at St. Luke's cemetery. The accidental drowning of 
Mr. Vaudreuil on Tuesday evening came very near being a double tragedy, since 
by falling into the river at Ashtabula Harbor, stumbling over a rope laying 
on the dock, he grabbed for assistance and secured a hold on Irving St. Pierre, 
a fellow employee who with Chas. Simono, manager of the Two Rivers Dredge, 
employed at Ashtabula Harbor were returning to the dredge. Both Mr. Vaudreuil 
and Mr. St. Pierre were precipitated into the water and but for the effort made 
by Mr. Simono, both lives would have been lost. Mr. Simono managed to secure a 
hold of St. Pierre, however, the body of Vaudreuil did not come up until later 
found by the life savers. It is thought that by being thrown into the water he 
struck a pile or some obstruction rendering him senseless so that he did not 
regain consciousness.
Mr. Vaudreuil was forty-eight years of age and for many years made his home in 
this city, where he is survived by a wife, three sisters and three brothers, all 
prominent in the community. He was an uncle to E.J. Vaudreuil who established 
the mammoth canning industry in this city and which several years ago was taken 
over by the Wisconsin Pea Canners Co.
Mr. Vaudreuil was a member of the Two Rivers Life Saving Cre, while the late 
Oliver Pilon was captain and in later years was engaged in the fishing industry 
at Twin River Point with his brother, Leon Vaudreuil. All his life nearly he has 
been connected with water industries and to end his life in this manner is a sad 
fate.

Meets Death in Water
Edmund Vaudruiel(sic) was drowned at Ashtabula, Ohio last Monday. Mr. Vaudruiel 
was working with Simino's dredging crew while he was walking on the dock, he 
slipped into the water those who saw the accident said that the unfortunate man 
never came up to the water surface. Mr. Vaudruiel was 48 years old; he is survived 
by three brothers, Francis and Leo of this city, Godfrey of Duluth and three 
sisters, Mesdames Louisiana St. Peters of this city and Mrs. F. Lafond of Sheboygan. 
He was buried Friday.

She was born Sept. 8, 1873, at Ahnapee, Kewaunee county, the daughter of Mr.

She was born on July 16, 1906, in Two Rivers, the fourth of 11 children born to 
Frank and Louise Becker. She had a wonderful childhood and loved to share her 
memories with friends and loved ones. Evelyn graduated from Washington High 
School in Two Rivers in 1924. She made many friends and participated in forensic 
contests and school plays. She continued her education in Chicago, and upon 
completion of cosmetology college, returned to the Manitowoc area where she

du Lac. Joe preceded her in death on June 15, 1970. After the death of her 
husband, Evelyn continued to reside in the family home on Ruggles Street until 
a recent fall resulted in hospitalization. Her recovery was going well, and in 
fact, she had made airline reservations for Las Vegas to celebrate the May 1, 
2004, 65th wedding anniversary of her brother Frank and sister-in-law, Elma. 
Evelyn's final journey turned out to be the one she spent her entire life 
preparing for. She was a member of Holy Family Parish-Sacred Heart Church in

Michael Vert of Dallas, Texas; two adorable great-grandchildren, Bailey and Ryan 
Vert; and many relatives and friends. Evelyn has 49 living nieces and nephews 
scattered from New York City to Australia. She would want friends and family 
living far away to know that the barrier of miles and time zones never diminished 
their friendship or love. She was preceded in death by her parents, Frank and 
Louise Becker; her husband, Joseph Vert; one son, Richard Vert; six brothers; and 
two sisters. 
Services: A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 1 p.m. Wednesday, April 14,

Evelyn's family and relatives wish to thank her circle of friends for staying 
in touch and remembering her in prayer. You were her guardian angels, and she 
cherished your true and solid friendship. Being a true lady, Evelyn wouldn't 
want us to be sad or burdened by her passing. After all, a true lady knows when 
it's the right time to leave.

RIVER CLAIMS TWO AT CLARKS MILLS
Two Rivers Boys Near Death
While playing on the thin ice of the East Twin river at Two Rivers shortly
after three o'clock Saturday afternoon, two boys, Otto Schmiling Jr., 17,
603 East street, and Leroy Vondruska, 15, 2218 Jackson street had a close
call from drowning when they broke through. Their cries brought two men to
the scene who were able to reach out poles to the boys. Vondruska did not
break completely through the ice and was easily rescued but Schmiling broke
the ice and was rescued with difficulty.
The boys were removed to their homes and suffered no ill effects of their
plunge. The two youths had wandered out on the ice of the river to play and
did not realize that it was not heavy enough to hold their weight. Fish boats
coming up the East River had weakened the ice at the spot where the two
youths were at play.
