DAVIS, JEAN D Actually, it is D. Jean Davis - the 'D' stands for Doris, but she hated the name Doris, so she used the name Jean. Her maiden name was Morrison, she was born in Missouri. The social security number was issued in Oregon, because that is where she lived with her first husband - his name escapes me. She has a daughter who lives near Valders, and a son who lives in Milwaukee. Jean died of cancer; and per her request, there was no obituary in the newspaper, and only one broadcast on WCUB radio - no other station. She did not have a formal funeral - she was cremated, and her ashes were spread over Lake Michigan, off Maritime Drive. The ceremony was invitation only, and she wanted absolutely no tears. OK for me, not so easy for my kids. I just happen to know all this because I was her "gopher" and friend for about 8 years - starting when she was living in Francis Creek, and broke her knee; through her moves to/in Manitowoc, because she was never satisfied. One of the people she lived with was Howard Hoppe - she had moved out of there shortly before he fell asleep in his chair with a cigarette, burned his house down, and died in the fire! After I saw her through her physical therapy, I did her checkbook, her taxes, ran errands, accompanied her places. Extremely interesting woman. 30 September 1927-19 July 1999 soc. sec. issued OR (sent in by a friend)

DEMBSKI, BARBARA DEATH WAS A KINDLY VISITOR Old and friendless except for the kindness of neighbors, living alone in her old age, dependent upon the city aid, the angel of death was a kindly visitor when he came to summon Barbara Dembski in her humble home on the Eastside last Friday. Some of the neighbors ran in occasionally to see how she fared. She never complained. She seemed as well as could be expected. But one morning there was unusually quietness about her cottage and M?? Koch nearby, thought he would go at noon and see how their venerable neighbor seemed in the extremely cold weather which prevailed. He found Mrs. Dembsky on the floor unconscious. She had probably been there for over twenty-four hours for her breakfast table and dress and other matters were as the neighbor saw them the morning of the day before. In that time, she had suffered from exposure for the fire was out and it was very cold. A physician was summoned and pronounced hers a case of paralysis. This and her exposure brought on her death a few days later. The funeral took place Sunday afternoon from Sacred Heart Church, she having died Friday. The deceased had no relatives in this country and the place of the regular mourners was filled by neighbors and friends. Mrs. Dembski was born in the old country 76 years ago.

DILLON: Catharine Died - In this city, on January 7th, wife of John Dillon, born in Kil?dane, County of Clare, Ireland. Aged 60 years. May she rest in peace Amen. The deceased was one of our oldest residents and universally esteemed and respected for her goodness of heart, which has been noted in many quiet acts of charity to the more unfortunate in distress. While she was able to walk about among her neighbors her pleasant and sympathetic nature made her ever a welcome visitor and participator in their joys or sorrows. She leaves a husband and son to mourn her loss. Her son, Patsey Dillon, deserves more than a passing notice. Each summer for several years he has sought employment in Chicago, while each succeeding winter has found him at his mothers bedside faithfully ministering to her every want. His efforts in this direction will prove double beneficial to him in after years, as his own conciousness of having smoothed her pillow in her declining years will always strengthen and ennoble his manhood, while the fact as known in this community will serve as a certificate of character wherever it is known. Manitowoc Pilot, January 14, 1875

DILLON, JOHN JOHN DILLON MISSING. John Dillon is known to everyone in this county, but the chances are that no one will know him more. He has not been seen since Saturday night, September 18th, and it is believed he walked into the river and was drowned. At first no attention was paid to his absence as he was accustomed to pay visits to Maple Grove and Cooperstown. But people from these towns reported that he had failed to put in an appearance at either place. His room was found to be locked and every body soon came to believe that Dillon had made his exit from this life. He had been at Martin Hewitt?s saloon until 11 o?clock Saturday night, Saturday being convention day Dillon was much the worse for liquor. He usually walked home on Commercial street, having slept between that street and York. It is believed that he turned to the left instead of to the right when he reached Ninth street, and thus unconsciously walked into the river. No attempt has been made to solve the mystery of his disappearance. Manitowoc Pilot, October 30, 1879 P. 3 ******** The body of John Dillon has not yet been found. There is no longer any doubt that he is drowned, though there is no further proof than his long absence. Manitowoc Pilot, November 3, 1879 P. 3 ******** John Dillon has been missing since 18 Oct. without a trace. It is feared he fell in the river and his body has not yet been found. Der Nord Westen, 06 Nov. 1879 ********* The river was being dragged last week in hopes of finding the body of John Dillon, who was supposed to be drowned on the 18th ult. Manitowoc Pilot, November 6, 1879 P. 3 ********* A body believed to be John Dillon was found in the lake at Two Rivers last Fri. clad only in a pair of boots. Believed to be John Dillon, who had been missing since last fall. Der Nord Westen, 11 Mar. 1880 ******** The body of a man was found on the beach north of Two Rivers on Saturday. The man had evidently been a sailor as his arm was tattooed. It was impossible to identify the person as the body had no distinguishing marks, entirely divested of clothing with the exception of a pair of boots, and had the face much disfigured. The hair was washed away from the head. It was at first believed to the body of John Dillon, Cohen of Maple Grove or McGovern lost from the Imperial. But Dillon was not tattooed, Cohen, according to our Franklin correspondent is in Michigan and McGovern was lost on the other shore, besides the latter had marks wanting in the person found.

DILLON: Tim From Wisconsin Histories - microfilm #18, Patron's Directory 1893, Two Rivers Library: Ditcher. Patronage solicited. Post Office, Osman; Section 26, Liberty Township. ********** Tim Dillon of Liberty was perhaps fatally injured yesterday morning. He was on his way home from Osman and stepped into the barn of Frank O'Niel where he stumbled against a horse which kicked him in the head inflicting injuries which may prove fatal. Manitowoc Pilot, Vol. XXXV No. 24, March 15, 1894, Page 3 Column 3 (sent in by Lisa) ********* On the morning of March 14 Tim Dillon was found in the barn of Frank Kelley of Liberty unconscious, from the kicks of a horse against which he stumbled while in an intoxicated state, as it was supposed. Dr. O'Brien and Schmitz of St. Nazians (sic) were called, and the wounds were dressed. Dillon was brought to the city hospital and died the following day but with no period of consciousness intervening. These facts were published before in The Pilot, but are reproduced as the case is now being investigated by the district attorney and a post mortem examination is in progress before Justice of the Peace P.J. McMahan. Dillon had seven wounds in his head and those on the back of the head were of such a character as to lead to the suspicion that they could not have been inflicted by the cork's of a horse shoe. The cuts were not ragged but appeared to have been made by a sharp instument (sic). Dr.Luhman found that the skull was not broken but that a clot of blood pressed upon the top of the brain. Dillon was buried in the cemetery at Meeme but this did not quiet the rumor that he met his death by other means than the kicks of a horse. The district attorney in company with Constable Pierce and Marshal Bolen visited the section last week and after gathering all the information possibe, decided to have the body exhumed and a post mortem examination held. On Tuesday, District Attorney Chloupek, Constable Pierce and Doctors Luhman and Frazer went out to Meeme to have the body exhumed and examined. The inquest opened on Wednesday before Justice McMahon. Dillon was a bachelor, and though born in Liberty has no relatives living there now as the family was broken up and moved to Texas. He lived alone in a shanty which he built and cultivated a small area which he rented and made his living mainly by doing jobs for the farmers. The evening before he received the injuries which proved fatal to him, he went to the village of Osman with Patrick O'Neil who had lately returned from the lumber woods. They remained there quite late and he O'Neil and Ed Burns left for home in company. Burns left them at the town line road and went home. It seems a quarrel of some kind took place here, as people were awakened by the noise. This was about 2 o'clock in the morning. Apparently the altercation did not lead to blows as the two men were known to leave. The barn in which Dillon was found is about half a mile from the town line. The district attorney does not choose to say yet what theory the state has formed with regard to the case. It will be made known in good time. The doctors returned from the autopsy yesterday. They say the cuts in the head must have been made by some sharp insturment.

DOUCETT, JOSEPH LOST ON THE SEA BIRD Information Relative to the Citizens of Manitowoc who were Victims of the Late Disaster. Thirty-One Persons Lost. In fulfilling the painful duty which devolves upon us at this time we have endeavored to present to our readers a correct report containing all the information in regard to the lost which we could obtain. We fear there will be some errors, but we have as far as possible obtained the statements of relatives or immediate friends of the deceased. We would that some other hand than ours--one better skilled in soothing afflicted hearts-- might perform the sad office of saying comforting words to the distressed of our Village, but it may not be and we can only say to those who suffer, you have our heartfelt sympathy-- and the sympathy of every person in Manitowoc. We have known your friends, respected them, loved them; and your loss is our loss. Let us hope that He who doeth all things well hath not permitted our friends to fall in vain. JOSEPH DOUCETT Came to this place about fifteen years ago from Calais, Me., we believe. He was of Scotch descent and was born in New Brunswick. He has generally been engaged in the lumbering business, though we believe he has lived on a farm a part of his time. He was a member of the 14th Regiment and one of the bravest of the brave. At the battle of Corinth he was one of the color guard which consisted of eight men. The rebels charged but the 14th would not break; five of the color guard were killed but still the fight went on around the colors. A rebel reached out to take them and Doucett killed him with his bayonet, at the same time he received a bayonet wound through the abdomen and was pitched into a brush heap from which he was afterwards taken by the rebels. He was reported dead; his wife dressed in mourning, and all thought he was gone, but he came home and when the Regiment re-enlisted he went along. At the close of the war, being disabled by his wound he started a grocery but did not do very well and sold out. For a year or two he has lived in the country and done very well. Mr. D. was strictly and honest man, generous and kind. He had hosts of friends who with his wife and two children mourn his loss. (Article continues in the same manner for each individual lost on the SEA BIRD; Geo. W. Emery, James A. Hodges, Capt. N.T. Nelson, Capt. John Sorenson, Charles Riechen, Henry Nieman, Henry Pfeffer, James Leykom, August Wilde, Richard Flossbach, Amos Meyer, John Melka, Martin Rozezguiatee, Wm. Barter, Casper Klimer, John Foucks, Herman Jacoby, Wenzel Hawlichek, P.C. Danahy, Raymond H. Hunt, Fred Henning Jr., and Thorine Oleson.) OTHERS. We hear of others who were on the boat beyond a doubt--one a Norwegian who has been chopping wood in this vicinity, could not learn his name; and two girls from the country who took passage from here with the intention of going either to Milwaukee or Chicago have not been heard from since the disaster. So it will be seen there were Thirty-one from here certainly, and two doubtful, lost on the SEA BIRD. The Manitowoc Tribune Thursday, April 16, 1868 pg. 4

EATOUGH, AMELIA From the Manitowoc Herald, 19 Apr. 1860: Amelia Eatough died in Kossuth, dau. of William and Sarah Eatough (Note: Her parents are in Evergreen.)
EBERLE, FRANK F. EBERLE, 43, DROPS DEAD IN HOME SUNDAY Stricken Suddenly After Session with Two Companions in Barn; Coroner Kemper Summoned Following a several hour session with two companions last night in his barn on the farm in the Town of Cooperstown, west of Rosecrans, Frank Eberle, 43, was taken suddenly ill after returning to his house and died before his wife could summon Dr. J. H. May of Maribel. When the latter reached the home, Eberle was dead. Dr. May stated that his death was induced by excessive alcoholism. Coroner W.G. Kemper of this city, summoned this morning to the Eberle home doubted if an inquest would be ordered as Eberle had not been a victim of any violence. It was stated that his companions were Adolph Kaslofsky and a young man named Hoffman who resides on farms southwest of Denmark in Brown County. As the story was reconstructed to the coroner this morning, Kaslofsky and Hoffman visited the Eberle farm early Sunday evening and with Eberle proceeded to the barn where they indulged in home brew. It has been common report in that vicinity that it has been a practice among some of the makers of these home brew concoctions to mix with the same a quantity of lye, which it was said gives the liquor more of a "kick". Physicians have declared that if lye in any form was used in the liquor it would serve to bring on serious consequences for any one drinking it. Mrs. Eberle reported that her husband came into the house late Sunday night following the session with his two companions and was immediately taken with a vomiting spell. Alarmed, she summoned Dr. May from Maribel. In the meantime, Eberle had a more severe attack and fell to the floor. In a few minutes he was dead. While at the Eberle home in Cooperstown this morning, Coroner Kemper did not get in touch with Eberle's companions of last night, Hoffman and Kaslofsky, to learn from them just what took place last night prior to the time that Eberle returned to the house, but in the event that an inquest should be deemed necessary, they would be summoned to testify. Reports today were that the deceased farmer has been using home brew for some time and that the practice may have wore him down and resulted in his heart action being unable to throw off the effects of Sunday's affair, thus hastening his demise.

EISNER, DAVID An old man named Daniel Isener (sic) died at Manitowoc Rapids on Friday last. He died alone and somewhat suddenly. For 20 years himself and wife lived in the same house living entirely apart and having no communication with each other. Twenty years ago they quarreled and they then made a division of the house and while living under the same roof each had his distict domicile. On account of the estrangement an inquest was held but it was so apparent that death resulted from natural causes that inquiry was not pushed to the holding of a post mortem examination. The old lady is now 70 years old and is noted for her religious fervor. The old couple were very much respected by everyone though they persisted in living wholly estranged from each other.

They found him dead, and his body mutilated in a shocking condition. Several of his limbs were broken, and his skull badly fractured. In chopping down one tree, it fell upon another, and in attempting to clear it away, it must have fallen suddenly upon him before he could escape.

FLINN, FRANCIS Francis Flinn was found dead/former mail carrier to Green Bay Manitowoc Herald, 24 Feb. 1855 (eulogy also) ******** FROZEN TO DEATH. One of the oldest inhabitants of this village named Francis Flinn, was found dead in the road on Thursday morning ???? ?? in the neighborhood of his own home. The old man was in the habit of indulging in the use of intoxicating stimulus to some extent, which habit doubtless was acqured during his experience as a pioneer, but it is not certain that over indulgence on the night in question was the cause of his death. His age was about 56 years and we believe that he has some experience as a soldier in the Black Hawk war. As a Mail carrier many years ago when there were but few settlers and the mail was carried on foot, he is said to have given repeated instances of fidelity to his trust and fairly earned the commendation of his employers.

FLOSSBACH, RICHARD LOST ON THE SEA BIRD Information Relative to the Citizens of Manitowoc who were Victims of the Late Disaster. Thirty-One Persons Lost. In fulfilling the painful duty which devolves upon us at this time we have endeavored to present to our readers a correct report containing all the information in regard to the lost which we could obtain. We fear there will be some errors, but we have as far as possible obtained the statements of relatives or immediate friends of the deceased. We would that some other hand than ours--one better skilled in soothing afflicted hearts--might perform the sad office of saying comforting words to the distressed of our Village, but it may not be and we can only say to those who suffer, you have our heartfelt sympathy--and the sympathy of every person in Manitowoc. We have known your friends, respected them, loved them; and your loss is our loss. Let us hope that He who doeth all things well hath not permitted our friends to fall in vain. RICHARD FLOSSBACH Came here in 1856 from Sheboygan. Was a printer in the Nord-Westen office for some time but left we believe because he did not learn the English language while working in a German office. He applied for admission to this office once, but we had no vacancy. Had he applied one month sooner he would probably have been accepted. He leaves a widowed mother and two older brothers who live on the South side. His age was 18, and he sustained a good character. (Article continues in the same manner for each individual lost on the SEA BIRD; Geo. W. Emery, James A. Hodges, Capt. N.T. Nelson, Capt. John Sorenson, Charles Riechen, Joseph Doucett, Henry Nieman, Henry Pfeffer, James Leykom, August Wilde, Amos Meyer, John Melka, Martin Rozezguiatee, Wm. Barter, Casper Klimer, John Foucks, Herman Jacoby, Wenzel Hawlichek, P.C. Danahy, Raymond H. Hunt, Fred Henning Jr., and Thorine Oleson.) OTHERS. We hear of others who were on the boat beyond a doubt--one a Norwegian who has been chopping wood in this vicinity, could not learn his name; and two girls from the country who took passage from here with the intention of going either to Milwaukee or Chicago have not been heard from since the disaster. So it will be seen there were Thirty-one from here certainly, and two doubtful, lost on the SEA BIRD. The Manitowoc Tribune Thursday, April 16, 1868 pg. 4

FOBES, J.L. Shocking Accident - The tannery of the Wisconsin Leather Company was the scene of a terrible accident, yesterday afternoon by which Mr. J. L. Fobes, foreman of the bean house of the establishment was fatally injured. It appears that he was endeavoring to throw on a belt of the wash-wheel when his coat was caught between the gearing of the shaft by which motion is imparted to the wheel and he whirled through twenty revolutions.

FOUCKS, JOHN LOST ON THE SEA BIRD Information Relative to the Citizens of Manitowoc who were Victims of the Late Disaster. Thirty-One Persons Lost. In fulfilling the painful duty which devolves upon us at this time we have endeavored to present to our readers a correct report containing all the information in regard to the lost which we could obtain. We fear there will be some errors, but we have as far as possible obtained the statements of relatives or immediate friends of the deceased. We would that some other hand than ours--one better skilled in soothing afflicted hearts-- might perform the sad office of saying comforting words to the distressed of our Village, but it may not be and we can only say to those who suffer, you have our heartfelt sympathy-- and the sympathy of every person in Manitowoc. We have known your friends, respected them, loved them; and your loss is our loss. Let us hope that He who doeth all things well hath not permitted our friends to fall in vain. JOHN FOUCKS Was of Bohemian origin. Has been a resident here for a year or more, during which time he has sailed as a deck hand on the Sea Bird. He was about 25 years old and leaves no family. (Article continues in the same manner for each individual lost on the SEA BIRD; Geo. W. Emery, James A. Hodges, Capt. N.T. Nelson, Capt. John Sorenson, Charles Riechen, Joseph Doucett, Henry Nieman, Henry Pfeffer, James Leykom, August Wilde, Richard Flossbach, Amos Meyer, John Melka, Martin Rozezguiatee, Wm. Barter, Casper Klimer, Herman Jacoby, Wenzel Hawlichek, P.C. Danahy, Raymond H. Hunt, Fred Henning Jr., and Thorine Oleson.) OTHERS. We hear of others who were on the boat beyond a doubt--one a Norwegian who has been chopping wood in this vicinity, could not learn his name; and two girls from the country who took passage from here with the intention of going either to Milwaukee or Chicago have not been heard from since the disaster. So it will be seen there were Thirty-one from here certainly, and two doubtful, lost on the SEA BIRD. The Manitowoc Tribune Thursday, April 16, 1868 pg. 4
