CEIBEL, CHARLES Fatal Accident on the R.R. On Monday morning last, the track on the main line of the M.L.S. & W.R.R., near the Two Rivers Switch, washed out carrying four men into the river, one of whom was either smothered or drowned and his body has not yet been recovered. His name was Charles Ceibel, a resident of this city, he leaves a wife and five children, the youngest not more than a week old. The place where the accident occurred was a notoriously dangerous one; when the road was built a trussle bridge was put across, and when that became rotten it was filled in with sand leaving only a small culvert to carry off the water. The melting of the heavy snow had filled the basin formed by the railroads and the culvert was blocked. There was from 15 to 20 feet of water which saturated the sand and finally swept every thing before it. It was known to be unsafe on Saturday. Manitowoc Tribune April 28, 1881

CHUDZINSKI, KATHERINE WOMAN, BELIEVED TO BE OLDEST IN STATE, DIES HERE, AGED 109 MRS. KATHERINE CHUDZINSKI, INMATE OF ST. MARY'S, WORKED IN GARDEN AT HOME UP TO YEAR AGO Believed to have been the oldest resident of Wisconsin, and with a record for longevity that has been surpassed by few people in the United States, Mrs. Katherine Chudzinski died at St. Mary's hospital Sunday, aged 109 years. Mrs. Chudzinski's death was due to a general breaking down, which had been going on for a time and peaceful, her life passing quietly and without struggle. Mrs. Chudzinski's great age was well authenticated by records at the hospital and by incidents which she recalled having witnessed as a child. Up to a year ago the aged woman was in good health and insisted upon working in the garden at the hospital daily. She began to decline a year ago and for several months ???? had been confined to her room, unable to care for herself. Previous to that time she conversed freely with visitors and recounted many incidents of her youth which established her age. She was in possession of all her faculties. She had a remarkably retentive memory and recalled events of three-quarters of a century ago. Little is known of Mrs. Chudzinski's past, aside from the records showing her birth in Poland and emigration to America. She came to St. Mary's eighteen years ago, then 91 years old, and had since been cared for there. It is not known that she had any relatives being but inquiry will be made. A few years ago when Henry Mulholland was engaged in taking the census in the city Mrs. Chudzinski gave her age, residence and other facts of life, desired for the census, without difficulty. At the time Mrs. Chudzinski received extended mention in newspapers of the state as the oldest woman in Wisconsin. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Monday, March 23, 1914 P.1

CIHAK, VACLAV a.k.a. Paul Novak BELIEVE MAN DELIBERATELY CHOSE DEATH UNDER TRAIN Aged Man Is Run Down At Junction at Noon Did Paul Novak, aged wayfarer, killed by a North Western train at Two Rivers Junction shortly before noon today, deliberately choose death? Trainmen believe that he did and in support of their belief cite the testimony of Engineer John Watson who says that Novak, walking on the tracks, heard the signal of the approaching train, turned around about, and then continued walking the tracks, making no attempt to get out of danger. Novak, who appears a man of 65 years of age, was killed by the North Western train which arrives here from Green Bay at 11:30 as he was walking the tracks near the Junction. The man's death is believed to have been instantaneous and the body was brought to the station here by the train crew. Sister identifies man. Identity of the dead man was established by letters found on the person. These were written by a sister, Mrs. Peters of 815 Collingwood avenue, Baltimore, Md. In one of the letters the writer urged Novak to come to Baltimore, assuring him of a home for the balance of his days and it is possible he had started on the long trip East when he met death here. One of the letters was written in Bohemian and one in Polish. The train was in charge of Conductor Morris, of Green Bay and John Watson of this city was the engineer. According to a statement by Mr. Watson, Novak turned and looked at the train when signaled to get off the track and the deliberately continued on his way with no efforts to leave the tracks. District Atty. Brady and Coroner Kemper were summoned and secured the facts of the accident. Members of the train crew were to be questioned later this afternoon. It is not probable that an inquest will be held. Novak had no money but carried a small sack of coffee, a bar of soap and other supplies which indicated that he was tramping it. A message has been dispatched to the address given in the letters on the body. Manitowoc Herald News, September 23, 1921 P. 1 ********* IDENTITY OF TRAIN VICTIM IS ESTABLISHED Identity of the man killed by a Northwestern train at Two Rivers Junction yesterday, believed to have been Paul Novak, has been established by messages from Mrs. Peters of Westminster, Md., a sister, notified by the police of the tragedy. In a telegram asking particulars of the accident, Mrs. Peters says the dead man's right name is Vaclav Cihak, but gives no further information. Mrs. Peters, whose name was found in letters on the person of the dead man, had been asked what disposition should be made of the body, but she gave no instructions in her message. The body will be held a few days pending further word after she has been advised of details of the accident. Manitowoc Herald News, September 24, 1921 P. 9 ******* TRAIN VICTIM BURIED HERE POTTER FIELD Chief of Police Anton Trochlell is in receipt of a telegram from Mrs. Mary Peters, Westminster, Md., stating that she has not funds with which to meet the expense of the shipment of the body of Valca (sic) Cihak, killed by a Northwestern train here Friday, and asking that burial be made here at the expense of the county. Mrs. Peter (sic) says that she may claim the body later if conditions permit. The burial was made today with interment at Potter's field.

CLARK, LYDIA DIED: At Clarks Mills, on Thursday the 15th inst., Mrs. Lydia Clark, aged 74 years. Mrs. Lydia Clark (or as she was more generally known among her friends and neighbors) Grandma Clark, whose death is recorded in this week's Tribune, was born in the State of New York, where she passed the most of a long and useful life. She was married early in life and reared a large family, consisting of five sons and five daughters, of all, only four sons are now living. She was a devoted wife and mother, and none but those afflicted in like manner can realize the depth of her anguish as she beheld that insidious disease, consumption, claiming one after another of her daughters, all grown to womanhood and all but one married, till all had fallen victims to its fatal power. About thirteen years ago she came west to the Village of Clarks Mills, with her husband and youngest daughter, Mrs. Eddy, then in the last stage of consumption, hoping the change of climate might avert the threatened doom, but it availed nothing, and she was soon resting in the silent grave. Hardly was the first agony or this bereavement over, for the companion with whom she had lived happily so many years, was stricken by disease and in a few days he too had gone to that bourne whence none return. It then seemed as though her cup of grief was full. It was not long after this, that the writer of this sketch became acquainted with her and though one might well have expected to find a gloomy sorrowing woman, yet after the first agony was over she became cheerful, recognizing in her afflictions the hand of her Divine Master, who doeth all things well. Eminently social in disposition she took an active part in all the social gatherings of the village, and for her was reserved the seat of honor. Public spirited, and patriotic, she could not bear that our National Birthday should ever pass unmarked by some public token of respect, and her purse was ever open to assist in any good work. About seven years ago she united with the Episcopal church of Manitowoc, then under the Pastoral charge of the Rev. G. B. Engle, of which she remained a member while she lived. Her last sickness was long and severe, but, Her life it is ended, her sorrows all o'er Earth's trials and troubles can reach her no more An angel of light in the home of the blest, In the arms of her Saviour forever at rest.

CLEMENS, JOHN From Der Nord Westen, 05 Nov. 1908: A fatal accident occurred Saturday afternoon at the Wisconsin Central Railroad coal dock. The new machinery being installed there had a defect requiring repair by a crew of experts, one of whom was John Clemens, a former blacksmith living on 24th Street. The cable stopped again Saturday afternoon and Clemens set out to repair it. He climbed onto the bridge about 60 feet above the ground to make the repairs and reaching for a crowbar fell the entire distance to the ground on his head. His fellow workers immediately sought to help him but obviously he was already dead. Dr. Pritchard was immediately called and could only establish that Clemens had broken his neck and had died in the blink of an eye.

CONWAY, MRS. Death in a Chicago hospital of Mrs. Conway, where she had gone for treatment. She was the wife of Mr. L.J. Conway of Manitowoc. Der Nord Westen, 06 Apr. 1893 (No date provided)
CONWAY, LAWRENCE Lawrence J. Conway died at his home in this city on Sunday last after a long illness. For a long time he fought the disease which was sapping his life. He met death as he did everything which fell to his lot, as a man of courage who was always true to the promptings of his conscience. Mr. Conway was born in Kilkerny County, Ireland, June 21, 1831. He was of a good family and received a liberal education. He came to this country when a young man and settled in Chicago where he engaged in business. He remained there until 1867 when he came to this city and engaged in the business of purchasing farm produce. He was not empirical in any line of business he undertook, but studied everything thoroughly which a mind well disciplined enabled him to do. He quit business here some years ago when he perceived that competition made profits nominal, and established the same lines in Kewaunee and Ahnapee. In business his word was his bond and his every act was a synonym of honor. Mr. Conway was no ordinary man either in business talent or in that courtliness of demeanor which inspires respect while it attracts regard. His refinement of manners was the reflection of the cleanliness of his character and his neatness of person typified the purity of his thought. few men can unite dignity and kindliness; but he did, not as an art, but because both were elements of his character. Courtesy with him was innate and he was a gentleman in appearance because he was such by instinct. No man valued worth in a man more than he did and if it appeared in a young man he foresaw development and always gave encouragement. He loved his race though not blind to their faults. No man took keener delight than he when a young irsihman (sic) earned distinction, though a trace of national bigotry never found lodgment (sic) in his soul. He was considerate, generous and helpful to all who came within touch of his individuality. Strong in conviction he was weak in prejudice and he granted to all that freedom of thought which he deemed it his own right to exercise. He loved his friends though he was not demonstrative. Sacrifice in behalf of a friend had the essence of a duty in his eyes, and he never counted the cost to himself. In the domestic circle his good qualities shone forth resplendent. The suavity of his manner, his geniality and affection;his devotion to his family and his care for their present comfort with the confident assurance that the future was governed by the proper performance of the duties of the hour, made him a model father. Every child of his can have only pleasant recollections of the father who has lain down the burdens of life which he bore with such grace that all those whose soul touched his in the intimacy of friendship, have a sense of personal loss. there is a sacredness int he sorrow of relatives for their dead, in which it is almost an intrusion for others to share; but Lawrence Conway is mourned by many not kin to him because his life had been such as to attract esteem and win affection.

CONYE, JOHN MYSTERY IN MAN'S SUDDEN DISAPPEARANCE John Coyne, Soo Line Switchman, May Have Met His Death WAS LAST SEEN LATE SATURDAY NIGHT Missing since Saturday night, mystery surrounds the sudden disappearance of John Coyne, a well known South Side man who is employed as a switchman in the local yards of the Soo line, and the police department is working on the case in an effort to locate Coyne, or learn his fate, but up to the present the search has been futile. Several theories have been advanced [to] explain Coyne's mysterious disappearance but none have been satisfactory or developed a clew that might clear up the case. Relatives fear that Coyne may have met his death in the river by walking off the dock, and the police are maintaining a close watch on the river and have made some search in this direction. If Coyne is dead it is believed probable that his body will be found in the river as in any other event, the body would probably have been discovered before this time. Coyne was last seen late Saturday night when he said he was on his way to his home on Washington street but he faled(sic) to reach there. The continued absence of Mr. Coyne Sunday alarmed the family and the matter was reported to the police and inquiries were made in an effort to trace him but the man seemed to have disappeared as effectually as though the earth had opened up and swallowed him. All week the department has been working on the case but without results. Mr. Coyne was well known about the city and had been an employe of the Soo line and the Wisconsin Central under the old management for a number of years. He was a reliable and conscientious man in his work and was steady and if he has not met with an accident, his conduct is in married and with his wife resided on explainable, it is said Coyne is Washington street. (This line was garbled) One thing that strengthens the belief that Coyne has met with an accident is that the man gave no notice to the Soo officials here of an intention to take a lay-off or quit work as would have been the case had he intended to leave the city for a short stay. If as is feared by some of his friends Coyne lost his life in the river, there is little possibility that the body will be recovered until sparing owing to the ice. Coyne is a man between 40 and 50 years of age and has resided in the city for years.

CORTES, HENRY From Monday's Daily DROWNED. - We have received two accounts of a sad catastrophe which occurred near Nachtway's mill, on the Neshoto river, in this county, last Thursday, resulting in the death of Mr. Henry Cortes, a German who, with his wife and one child resided in that neighborhood. One informant says that the deceased was engaged in hauling lumber from the mill with a yoke of oxen, and that while returning for a load, and while near the bank of the river (which at that point was about six feet high and very steep) the oxen, who were evidently very thirsty wanted to turn from the road and get water, and that while the driver was walking near the hind wheel, (next the river) the hub struck him and threw him over the bank into the river. He never rose after going into the water. Another informant says the oxen did go into the river, when the wagon, which had no box on, came apart and the unfortunate man went down never to rise until fished up by those who saw the accident. Manitowoc Tribune Thursday, August 25, 1870 pg. 1 ********* This appears to be the same person in the above account. We learn that on last Thursday, a man by the name of Coss, a farmer, who was hauling lumber with a yoke of oxen near the half-way house on the Green Bay road, was accidentally drowned in the Neshoto river. It seems that Mr. Coss drove his oxen into the river for the purpose of watering them but they went in too far, and during his efforts to turn them back the wagon uncoupled, and as the unfortunate man could not swim, sank almost immediately. Mr. Edward Nachtway was close at hand when the accident occurred and rendered all the assistance he could to rescue the drowning man, and came near losing his own life in the heroic efforts, but his l abors were in vain.

CUMMINGS, MRS. ROBERT (possibly Honora Carey Cummings) MAPLE GROVE Mrs. Robert Cummings, Sr., who was one of the early pioneers of the town of Franklin, died at her home Jan. 31. Deceased was an aged and highly respected resident, and was about eighty five years old. She was born in the County Kerrie, Ireland, in 1830, being one of a large family. She came with her parents to the New World, at the age of 19, settling in the eastern states at first. After her marriage to Robert Cummings, and when duty called here to follow him, she came with other relatives to find a new home in the forests of Franklin. Since then she lived here until her death. Many were the tales of pioneer hardships which she took a delight in telling and it is from this sturdy stock that we, the younger gener- ation, are able to glean a few facts of the early struggles which our people had to contend with. She had a genial and kindly disposition, ever ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. Many kind acts and generous donations which "never saw the light" are attributed to this kind hearted and unselfish woman, whose neighbors all remember her generous nature and the happiness she found in doing good. She was the mother of ten children of which six live to survive her: Mrs. Curry of Buffalo, N.Y.; Hannah of Washington, D.C.; Mrs. McDonald of Superior, Wis., who was the first white child born in the town of Franklin; Sister Fatina of Pullman, Ill., John and Julia of the old home. She was a woman of more than the ordinary ability, a kind and loving mother, a devoted wife, a good neighbor and a devout Christian. She came from that Irish stock who in the early days settled in the wilderness and made homes for their children amid the danger and hardships of pioneer life. It is but a matter of a few more years, and few indeed, of her type will be left. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Tuesday, February 09, 1915, Page 4
CUNNINGHAM, RHODA From the Manitowoc Herald, 05 Apr. 1856: Rhoda Cunningham died at Clarks Mills, wife of Thomas Cunningham. ********* On Tuesday, the 1st inst., Mrs. Rhoda wife of Thomas Cunningham, aged 2? years. Mrs. Cunningham was highly esteemed and respected by all who knew her. Her amiable disposition and many lovely traits of character endeared her to a numerous circle of friends and acquaintances, some of whom can remember her when years ago with hopes ardent and glowing, she came to Manitowoc to gladden and beautify a home in the west and they will cherish the recollections which will associate themselves with the loving smile which ever beamed in the eye whose lustre is disarmed and whose light has gone out in the chamber of death. We forebear to draw aside the veil which hides the grief of the stricken mourners, but we may tender our sympathy, sincere and heart felt to those whose hearts have been saddened by this melancholy ????? mood. Manitowoc Tribune, Manitowoc, Wis. Thursday, April 10, 1856 P. 3 ****** DIED: At Clarks Mills, Manitowoc County, on Tuesday the 1st inst., RHODA, wife of THOMAS CUNNINGHAM, aged 28 years. Mrs. Cunningham was one of the early settlers of Manitowoc and had witnessed the marvelous changes in its progressive fortunes, during her residence among us. For more than a year she had been wasting with disease, and the close of her term of life was marked by severe but patient suffering. Social kindness and hospitality were the characteristics of her life, and these qualities had endeared her to a very large circle of friends. Manitowoc Co. Chronicle April 5, 1856
