ALBERT WALESH

Body of Albert J. Walesh Is Found in River 
LEFT NOTE TO WIFE IN AUTO AT THE RIVER 
Members Of Family Unable To Explain Act Of Market Owner
Leaving a note in his coat on the seat of a small truck asking his wife to 
rent the shop to an employe, Albert J. Walesh, 42, well known east side meat 
market proprietor, ended his life by drowning early this morning.
The body of Walesh was recovered by coast guardsmen at 9:25 o'clock this 
morning after dragging less than five minutes at the dock near the foot of 
Jefferson street in West Twin river. 
No inquest will be held it was announced by Coroner G. A. Rau, who was 
immediately upon the scene after the recovery of the body.
Members of the family could not account for the actions of Walesh. He had no 
financial worries and was apparently in good health.
Walesh left a note addressed to his wife, Emma, which was found in the pocket 
of his mackinaw, which was lying on the seat of the truck. It read:
"Emma rent the shop to Eddie Redeker. Albert"
Walesh's truck, which was parked on the railroad tracks in the rear of the 
home of Mrs. Emil Raedtke on East River street near Jefferson street, was 
noted by Street Commissioner Ernest Sonntag at 9 o'clock this morning.
Feared Train Crash 
He called authorities to determine the owner of the machine, feeling that a 
train might crash into it.
Chief Thad Logan and Office Ben Hanstedt immediately responded to the call. 
They opened the door of the small truck and picked the note from the mackinaw 
pocket. Sensing a suicide Chief Logan and the patrolman followed foot prints, 
partly covered by the snow, down the river bank to the dock. A pair of house 
slippers was found on the dock.
From the coast guard station where the body was taken it was removed to the 
funeral home of C.J. Jansky.
This Morning.
Mr. Walesh had left his home at five o'clock this morning, his family believing 
that he had intended to drive out to Mishicot to purchase meat for his shop. 
He had been home since early in the evening and had apparently been in good 
spirits. 
Frank A. Swetie, 1221 South 12th street, Manitowoc, a driver for the Parkview 
Baking company, reported to police this morning that he had noted the truck 
parked on the railroad tracks on East River street at 5:30 o'clock this morning, 
while Mrs. Baedtke told police that she noted the truck at 5:45 o'clock.
Excellent police work marked the recovery of the body of Walesh. Mr. Sonntag 
reported the presence of the truck on the track at 9:15 o'clock, and in less 
than 15 minutes the police, coast guard and coroner had completed their 
assignments.
Is Mystified 
Mr. Redeker to whom Walesh referred to in his note, was at the dock shortly 
after 9:15 o'clock. He appeared mystified by the action of his employer, 
believing that Walesh had been in the country procuring meat for the shop. 
Redeker has been employed at the meat market for the last seven years.
Mr. Walesh was born in the town of Montpelier, Kewaunee county, April 14, 1891. 
Twenty years ago he came to this city and was employed at the Matt Lodl meat 
market for several years. Sixteen years ago he rented the meat market at 
Eighteenth and East streets from Albert Deja, and two years later he purchased 
the property.
Seventeen years ago, Sept. 13, he was married to Miss Emma Sousek, who survives 
him with one son, George, a high school student. He also leaves two sisters, 
Mrs. Van Gates and Mrs. Frank Mach, both of this city, and a brother, Wenzel 
Walesh, also of this city.
Funeral arrangements have not been completed, but it is understood that services 
will be held from the Jansky funeral home.

DAVID E. WALLING

David E. Walling ended his battle with old age of 96 years on Saturday, June 14, 2014, at Harmony House, Two Rivers. David was born to Elsie (Dorpat) and William Walling on October 14, 1917, in Milwaukee, WI. The family moved to Sheboygan and then to Manitowoc where he attended grade school. After graduating from Lincoln High School, Manitowoc in 1934, David went on to Lawrence University, Appleton, graduating with a B.A. degree in 1938, then on to Harvard University Graduate School of Business in Boston, MA to obtain an MBA degree in 1940. His fraternity was Delta Tau Delta.
His careers were split in two directions, military and business (mainly sales management). David enlisted as an Aviation Cadet in December, 1942, becoming an Aerial Navigator and second lieutenant in December, 1943.
From England, he flew to Normandy, France to drop paratroopers as a C-47 navigator for D-Day on June 6, 1944, followed by a glider tow on D-plus 1. He had 20 more combat missions in the invasion of South France, Holland, crossing the Rhine River and parachuting supplies over enemy territory, receiving 5 Air Medals, and finally ending up in Munich, Germany on occupation duty after Germany surrendered on May 8, 1945. He celebrated the surrender of Japan on August 14, 1945, when in Athens, Greece on a pleasure flight.
David returned to the U.S.A. in late November, 1945, on the Queen Mary, with 13,000 other soldiers. He went back to his civilian job, but remained in the AirForce Reserves for one weekend a month duty with a Captain ranking. In September, 1950, he was recalled to active duty for the Korean War, becoming a navigator flight instructor on B-29 bomber planes. He flew B-29's out of Randolph Field, TX until the Korean War ended in September 1952. When he returned to civilian work, he also served as a reservist until his retirement from the AirForce Reserves with an honorable discharge and the rank of Major. Also, he had become a Master navigator, the highest possible proficiency.
His civilian career was always in the field of sales, sales management, and marketing. After having received his MBA, his first job, for one year, was in sales with National Refinery Co., in Cleveland, OH, followed by about three years in sales at Hamilton Mfg. Co. in Two Rivers, split in two parts by his service in WWII. His next job was assistant sales manager with Tuttle and Kift Co., Chicago. That was also divided in two parts by his recall to the Korean War in 1954.
David left Tuttle and Kift to another company, Edwin L. Wiegand Co., Pittsburg, PA as a product sales manager, supervising appliance replacement parts. He especially enjoyed the product development work. He co-patented the electric charcoal lighter for example. When the Wiegand Co. sold out to Emerson Electric, he moved to San Francisco, CA to work for Montgomery Brothers, supervising appliance parts sales.
David finally felt that he could afford to retire completely in November, 1979, so he moved from CA to Hilton Head Island, NC to care for his aging widowed mother. His father, William, had died in 1978.
Survivors include his oldest daughter, Susan (Richard) Dick, Tucson, AZ; his daughters: Mitzi and Sherry Walling, CA; three grandsons: Lance and Rhett Donald, Tucson; and Sean Donald, Oregon City, OR; great granddaughter: Abrehanna, great grandsons: Zach and Montana, Tucson; and great great grandson: Damian, also of Tucson. Also surviving are cousins: Marilyn Grover, Manitowoc; Ron and Joan Selves, Wausau; Charles and Betty Peterson; and James and Marcia Donlan, Two Rivers. He is also survived by his special friend and fiancee, Lorraine Sperry and her family.
David has three favorite hobbies: writing, reading and traveling. He wrote a book "Harvard MBA Navigates World War II", about many unusual war experiences, that was not a best seller. He liked to write short stories about politics, his high school, college and graduate school experiences, local newspaper opinion papers, etc. just for his own exercise and amusement. He even wrote this obituary.
As for reading, David was voluminous, mainly books about history and also biographies, as well as newspapers and magazines. The last count of the volumes he has read since 1972 was up to 360. His traveling began in Europe during WWII, continuing thereafter until he now has visited 93 foreign countries plus all 50 United States.
The most interesting part of David's life was his very strong desire to see the world's leaders work to solve international problems in sensible, cooperative, united ways instead of the tragedy and the violence of killing wars. He has spent thousands of his own dollars and hundreds of his personal hours writing to hundreds of U.S. and world leaders about this most important cause, advancing ways to do this, not by pacification, but by enlisting cooperative nations to stop dictators in their tracks. So far, David's ideas to stop the stupidity of wars have received very little attention by any leaders. David has no idea why this is such a totally avoided subject, but he hoped for much better results with much less killing, maiming and wasted money in the next few years, and forever.
Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, June 18, 2014, at St. Peter the Fisherman Catholic Church in Two Rivers. Officiating the memorial service will be Rev. Tom Reynebeau. Cremation has taken place at All-Care Cremation Center and burial will be at a later date. Military Honors will be accorded by the Two Rivers V.F.W. and American Legion.
The family will greet relatives and friends on Wednesday, June 18, 2014, at church from 9:00 a.m. until 10:45 a.m.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent in David's name to the Lester Library or St. Peter the Fisherman Catholic Church.
Expressions of sympathy may be sent to the family by visiting www.kleinandstangel.com
The Klein & Stangel Funeral Home, Two Rivers, is assisting the family with funeral arrangements.
A special thanks to the staff of Holy Family Hospice and Harmony House for their kindness and dedicated care to David during these difficult days.

JAKE JEFFREY WALTERS

Jake Jeffrey Walters, son of Erik and Jennifer Walters and brother of Cole 
Walters, passed away peacefully on Thursday, April 20, 2006. 
Jake received a devotion of love and sharing by all of his family and friends 
and was not alone when he began his journey to heaven. He will never be alone. 
For now, we will finish this final chapter with Jake and will always remember, 
never regret, and forever love our little boy. He left us peacefully with his 
mother standing next to his side and while his father was speaking with family 
nearby. After being visited by most of the important and influential people in 
his life, he took all of our love we shared with him and made the journey. Over 
the time of his illness, he showed us a will and determination that will be an 
inspiration to all who knew him. In looking for the strength and faith in our 
Lord, we reflect back to this day by a subtle sequence of events shown to us 
through God's creatures. Throughout the day, whitetail deer walked around our 
property, the birds had touched the windows five different times to the room 
where Jake was, and one hour after he made his journey to heaven, a raccoon sat 
on our deck railing and looked into the window overlooking Jake. Although none 
of these events are unusual by themselves, the point is they all happened this 
day JAKE'S DAY! Even our dog Cleo did her part by being present and close to all 
of us during this day. 
Jake was born March 26, 1998, in Two Rivers, son of Erik and Jennifer (Gonsowski) 
Walters. Jake will continue his journey in heaven watching down over those he 
loved: his parents and brother, Cole; grandparents: Jerry and Joy Walters, Andrea 
(John) Tromp, and Robert (Angie Bruns) Gonsowski; great-grandparents: Howard and 
Evelyn Flegle, Margaret (Earl) VandeWalle; Virginia Wayer, Rose Gonsowski; aunts 
and uncles: Wendy (Pat) Maimone, Julie (Neal) Hagen, Jason (Amy) Gonsowski; cousins: 
Samantha, Anthony, Austin, Andrea, Ethan and Tyler; as well as numerous other 
relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by great-grandfathers: Richard 
Walters, Edmund Wayer, Stanley Gonsowski; and uncle: Jeffrey Mark Gonsowski. 
A Mass of Angels will be held at 10:30 a.m. Monday, April 24, 2006, at St. Peter 
the Fisherman Church, Two Rivers. Officiating at the Mass of Angels will be the

The family will greet relatives and friends Sunday, April 23, 2006, from 4 to 8 pm

at 7:30 p.m. led by Father Bill, and Monday morning at St. Peter the Fisherman 
Catholic Church from 9:30 a.m. until the time of Mass at 10:30 a.m.

of Cub Scout Pack 3951. He loved science, the outdoors, and playing soccer.

Vehicle Turns Over Three Times on Rural Road; Driver is Hurt
Two Rivers-A trip in this city and nearby places by two youthful servicemen,

A car in which they were riding left a town road a half mile east of Highway 
42 a mile north of this city and rolled over three times. Injured was Dale W. 
Weber, 20, of 1818 14th St., who died two hours after the accident in the

Hospitalized was Weber's companion, Gerald Zinn, 19, of 1200 Madison St. He 
was unconscious most of the night, but Saturday his injuries were described 
as not too serious. He suffered skull injuries. Both youths were thrown clear 
of the car, according to Officer Paul Schroeder, who answered the call. A 
passing motorist came upon the wrecked car and the two servicemen lying nearby

Admits Driving Car. 
Dr. Theodore Teitgen, county coroner, was called to the scene but could not 
question Zinn. Later Saturday Capt. William Ladwig visited the hospital and

death brought to 17 the number of fatalities in traffic accidents in Manitowoc 
County in 1953. The coroner in checking the movements of Weber and Zinn before 
the accident said they had been at the Nitengale tavern on Highway 42, north

EDWIN P. WEBER

Edwin P. Weber, 75, of 907 17th St., Two Rivers, retired former 
manager of the Two Rivers exchange of General Telephone Co., of 
Wisconsin, a longtime civic leader and who had been associated 
with the communications field for more than 48 years, died 
unexpectedly of a heart attack in the garden of his home shortly 
before 1 p.m. Tuesday.  
Mr. Weber had returned only moments earlier to his home after 
having his usual noon-day luncheon with his son-in-law and 
daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Austin Jacobs, of 900 21st St. He was a 
widower.  
Funeral services will be at 9:30 a.m. Friday at Klein and Stangel 
Inc., Funeral Home, Two Rivers, and a 10 a.m. at St. Luke Catholic 
Church, the Rev. H. J. Schmitz officiating. Burial will be in Holy 
Cross Cemetery.
Mr. Weber was born at Two Rivers Sept. 24, 1888, son of the late 
John and Ann Wachtel Weber.  His first experience in the telephone 
field was at the Wausau exchange, predecessor of the General 
Telephone Co.  Several months later he returned to Two Rivers to 
work for Two Rivers Telephone Co., owned and operated by the late 
druggist, Charles F. Kirst.  In 1926, the Kirst Exchange was sold 
to State Telephone Co. of Madison, which later became Commonwealth 
Co. and now General Telephone.  
When Two Rivers Telephone Co. was sold to State Telephone Co. in 
1926, Mr. Weber became one of the first managers of an exchange in 
the nation to have a dial system, now in its 39th year.  
Mr. Weber found his duties quite varied when he entered the employ 
of the local telephone firm when he was 18.  When he was not 
repairing and installing new wires, he was busy with duties in the

TWO NARROW ESCAPES FROM DROWNING
Thin Ice is Menace at This Time of Year; Municipal Skating Rinks Needed; Heroic Rescues
Little Leland Webster, son of Mr. and Mrs. A.M. Webster went through the ice on the Mishicot River Saturday. On the same day Ervin and Donald Vrollem also had a narrow escape from drowning on the Neshoto River near Sixteenth St. 
The Webster lad was saved by the presence of mind of little Charles (Chuckie) Krause, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Krause, who reached his sled out to the Webster boy and yelled for help. Howell Evans responded from his home nearby. Laying flat on the thin ice he was able to pull the Webster boy out with great difficulty and danger to himself. "Chuckie" Krause is only 10 years of age. His prompt action as well as the efforts of Mr. Evans undoubtedly saved a life as the river has great depth at this point. 
The Vrollem boys were saved by Clifford Lapean, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Lapean, Monroe Street, who performed an act of heroism by leaping into the cold water to save them. When he succeeded in finally raising Ervin he found Donald hanging onto the latter's leg in a death grip under water. Donald was revived with little difficulty however.

JOHN WEIER

Two Rivers Man Killed By Autoist 
John Weier Run Down By Richard Beaton; No Inquest Planned
Fatally injured when he was run down by a car driven by Richard Beaton, employe 
of the Aluminum Goods Manufacturing company here, John Weier, 61, of 2012 Monroe 
street, Two Rivers, died on the way to the Municipal hospital at Two Rivers last 
night.
Weier was hit by the Beaton machine on the intersection of Washington and 2nd 
streets at Two Rivers at eight o'clock.
Plan No Inquest
Coroner G. A. Rau, who investigated the accident, announced today that there will 
be no inquest. 
Beaton was traveling at about 20 miles an hour, he told police last night, when 
the accident occurred. Weier stepped off the north intersection into the path of 
his car and it was impossible to avoid hitting him, Beaton said. Weier was knocked 
to the pavement and thrown about six feet. 
Beaton and his aunt, Mis Laura Beaton, 619 North 10th street, Manitowoc, were 
returning to Manitowoc after spending Thanksgiving at the home of Beaton's father, 
George Beaton, 1617 29th street, Two Rivers, when the accident happened. 
According to Beaton's report to police, he was driving south on Washington street 
trailing another machine. At the intersection he turned west on 22nd street, 
following the car directly ahead of him. He continued across the intersection where 
at the south side of the intersection he noted Weier immediately in front of his 
car. Traveling, he said, about 20 miles an hour, he quickly applied his brakes but 
could not avoid striking the man.
Rush to Hospital
Beaton, with the assistance of Joseph Ahrendt, Forest avenue, passing at the time, 
put the injured man in his car and rushed him to the hospital. Weier was dead upon 
arrival, according to the report. 
Beaton stated that Weier was crossing Washington street from the east side and was 
walking within the crosswalk.
Besides Miss Beaton and Ahrndt, another witness to the accident was John Weiss, 
sexton, 1713 24th street. 
The remains were removed to Klein and Stangel, Inc. Funeral Services will be held 
Monday morning at nine o'clock in Sacred Heart church, Two Rivers, with the Rev. 
John S. Landowski officiating. Interment will be in Holy Cross cemetery. The body 
can be viewed at the funeral home tonight from where the remains will be taken to 
the residence Saturday afternoon. Rosary will be prayed at the home at 7 o'clock 
Sunday night.
Born in Poland 
The deceased was born in Poland Sept. 16, 1874, a son of the late John and 
Catherine Kotarik Weier Several years after his broth the family immigrated to 
this country, settling at Two Rivers. Several years later they moved to a farm 
on the Rangeline. Thirty-one years ago the deceased returned to Two Rivers to 
reside. 
For many years Mr. Weier worked at Two Rivers industrial plants and from 1915 to 
1925 he was employed as an oiler at the Aluminum Goods Manufacturing company plant 
No. 1. Ill health forced his retirement 10 years ago. He walked with the aid of 
a cane and was slightly deaf.

ANNA WESELSKY

FATAL MISHAP AT CROSSING AT TWO RIVERS
Tragedy Ends Holiday Shopping Trip For Anna Weselsky Enroute Home Last Night 
A trip to Milwaukee to purchase Christmas gifts for her relatives and friends, 
ended tragically last evening, shortly after ten o'clock for Miss Anna M. 
Weselsky, 35, a worker in a Two Rivers factory, when she was killed as the car 
in which she was riding, with George Teche, and his daughter, Rose, skidded on 
the slippery pavement at the Northwestern crossing at Roosevelt Ave., Two Rivers, 
and crashed into the "wig wag" signal on the west side of the highway.
Miss Weselsky was seated on the side of the Dodge sedan which struck the iron 
signal post, after turning around twice on the pavement, and she suffered a 
fractured skull and broken neck. She never regained consciousness, and died 
before the arrival of physicians. Neither Teche, 1813 12th street, Two Rivers, 
the driver of the car or his daughter, Miss Rose Teche, suffered injuries and 
the car, aside from a dent in the body, where it brought up against the signal 
post, was not damaged.
No Inquest Held 
Coroner W. G. Kemper was notified and visited Two Rivers this morning, but 
after an investigation decided that no inquest was necessary. The body was 
removed to the Jansky undertaking parlors there and arrangements for the 
funeral awaited the arrival of an aunt, Mrs. Swetlik of Kellnersville. It was 
believed that the funeral would be held, probably Thursday from the home of 
Elmer Allie, 206 Jackson street, Two Rivers, with whom Miss Weselsky made her 
home.
Miss Weselsky, who was employed as a varnisher at the plant of the Wisconsin 
Wood Products Co. at Two Rivers left for Milwaukee Saturday noon, in company 
with her friend, Miss Rose Teche, on a visit, and to complete some holiday 
shopping. They returned Monday evening to Manitowoc, on the limited train and 
were met at the Northwestern depot here by Miss Teche's father, George Teche.
Car Skidded on Pavement 
The two girls occupied seats in the rear of the sedan and Teche stated that 
when he approached the crossing at Two Rivers, where Roosevelt Avenue and 
Lowell streets join, he put on his brakes to slow up as is his usual custom. 
He noted that the car began to skid a bit on the frosty surface of the cement 
highway and in his effort to straighten the machine out, the car swung around 
twice and then brought up against the "wig wag" signal on the west side of the 
track, recently installed by the Northwestern road there.
Miss Weselsky was on the side of the car that was damaged and when Teche brought 
the car to a stop he reported that his daughter shouted;
"Father, Anna must have fainted. She does not answer."
Mr. Teche sought to arouse her and then telephoned for a physician. When Dr. 
Farrell arrived Miss Weselsky had been removed to a nearby home, but her 
injuries were fatal and she passed away without regaining consciousness.
Parents Both Dead
The deceased who passed her thirty-fifth birthday Nov. 17, has always made Two 
Rivers her home. Both her parents are dead and for the past six years she has 
lived at the Elmer Allie residence on the east side in Two Rivers. The nearest 
relative is an aunt, Mrs. Swetlik at Kellnersville.
Miss Rose Teche, who was a constant companion of the deceased is prostrated 
with grief at her home in Two Rivers. She suffered only from shock in the 
accident. Mr. Teche was about today and was questioned regarding the accident 
by the coroner.
Burial Thursday 
It was announced this afternoon that the funeral of Anna Weselsky would take 
place Thursday morning at nine o'clock from the St. Luke's church at Two Rivers, 
with burial in the Holy Cross cemetery.
