MADIGAN, TOM
 
Tom Madigan, a former Centerville farmer, met death by drowning at Hayward, 
Wis. His remains were brought to Cleveland for Burial. 
Oshkosh Daily Northwestern, Thursday, Feb. 27, 1919 page 6
*********
News of the drowning at Hayward of Tom Madigan, a former resident of Cleveland, 
has been announced. Other than that Mr. Madigan was drowned Saturday and that 
the body has been recovered no details have been received and a brother, Joseph 
is at Hayward to bring the remains to Cleveland for burial. Mr. Madigan was a 
farmer and for a number of years had made his home near Hayward. He was 64 years 
of age and was well known at Cleveland where he lived until a few years ago. It 
is expected the funeral will be held from the home of his brother, Joseph Madigan 
at Cleveland today.
Sheboygan Press, Feb. 27, 1919 page 6
*********
(Could find no confirmation that he was buried in Centerville. But did find
this:
All Hayward was shocked Saturday when it was learned that Thomas Madigan 
had drowned during the noon hour in the Namakagon river. 
It appears that Mr. Madigan had gone to the river for a load of ice. A crew 
of men working on the landing on returning from their dinner noticed the team 
but could not see any one around. Their suspicions being aroused went down on 
the ice to investigate and there found a hat and one mitten floating about on 
the surface of the waer. As the water was clear, they plainly could see a body 
lying at the bottom. It was immediately brought to the surface and identified 
as that of Mr. Madigan.
It is presumed that while he was attempting to break the cakes of ice apart, 
he plunged into the water after an attack of heart failure.
Thomas Madigan was 67 years of age, being born at sea while his parents were 
enroute from Ireland to this country. His early life was passed at Manitowoc. 
His is survived by his wife, of Minneapolis, and three sons, Mike of Seattle 
and George and Earl of Iowa; two brothers, Mike of Manitowoc and Joseph of 
Superior; five sisters, Mrs. Sullivan of Manitowoc, Mrs. Landon and Mrs. Lyons 
of Chicago and Mrs. Gries and Mrs. Liebert of Menomonie.
Funeral services were held at the St. Joseph's Catholic Church Wednesday 
morning, Rev. Father Habraken officiating.
Relatives attending the funeral were his wife of Minneapolis, sons George and 
Earl of Iowa, brother Mike and sister, Mrs. Sullivan, both of Manitowoc.
To those who knew Mr. Madigan best, there is little doubt that the outstanding 
feature of his character was his true love for his boys. He was a man well 
liked by all who knew him--a man who dismissed the mistakes and failures of 
yesterday with a laugh, convinced that everything would come out all right. 
Malice nor revenge found no place in his philosophy of life. He was reconciled 
to the will of that high power which he had always recognized and respected.
The community extends sympathy to the bereaved relatives in their hour of grief.

Michael are buried in St. Isidore, Meeme twp. but could not find Thomas there 
or in any Town of Centerville Cemetery.)

MAENSCH, UNKNOWN

SUICIDE.
An old man named Maensch made a desperate attempt at suicide last week, 
and one which will probably be successful. He was for some time a 
resident of this city and owned a house and lot here which was 
mortgaged. Last week he was notified that the mortgage would be 
foreclosed. Maensch did not have the means of redeeming the mortgage and 
resolved to kill himself. He went into the woods, carrying with him a 
butcher knife, which was rather dull. With this he cut his throat from 
ear to ear, but strange to say, did not sever any artery. The cut in the 
font part of the throat was so high that it did not sever the wind pipe. 
He also made an attempt to open the artery at his left wrist. He cut 
clear to the bone, severing the tendons so that the ends stuck out, but 
even here the arteries were unhurt, owing to the knife’s being dull and 
the arteries elastic. The old man selected a spot in the woods where the 
foliage was dense, and where there was considerable fallen timber.—Here 
he remained for one day and a half. He was found on Wednesday, and not 
until Thursday was a physician called in. Dr. Pritchard describes the 
wound was one of the most ghastly he ever saw.—The chin had retracted at 
the throat and it appeared as if the man’s neck was cut half way 
through. Maggots had formed in the cut, but strange to say the man was 
alive. There are no hopes of his recovery entertained. This is certainly 
one of the most determined and bungling efforts at self destruction ever 
made.
Manitowoc Pilot, June 19, 1879  P. 3

Menske, the old man who attempted to commit suicide June 9th, by 
cutting his throat and severing the tendons of his arms in trying to open 
the arteries is very low and no hopes are entertained of his recovery.

MAKER, HENRY

Henry Maker, owner of a local candy kitchen, has been missing for 10 days and no
one knows what has become of him. His friends do not believe anything bad has
happened, merely that he has done as he says, "Wenn das Geschäft nicht geht, gehe
ich." (Loosely, "when business don't go, I go ").

THREE WITHIN A MONTH 
Another Disappearance Reported, Henry Maker, Candy Butcher, Being Absent One.
MISSING FOR SEVERAL DAYS
Had Often Made Threat To Leave—Relatives Are Not Alarmed, 
Believing He Will Return In Time-Business Was Not a Success.
New scenes and conditions have been sought by another Manitowoc man, the 
third to disappear within a month, Henry Maker, a well known candy butcher 
of the city, having departed for parts unknown. Maker has been numbered 
with the absent for several days and nothing has been heard from him. 
Relatives have no anxiety for his welfare, believing that he had planned 
he departure and that he will return in time. Numerous times within the 
past year he had threatened to make a change, being dissatisfied with the 
conditions here. Nothing is known of the present whereabouts of the absent 
man, although it is thought that he may be in Chicago or Milwaukee.
Maker came here several years ago and engaged in business on a small scale. 
He is an experienced candy butcher and succeeded in building up a good 
patronage and from year to year extend his business gradually. For the past 
several months he had conducted a store on North Eighth street, but the 
trade did not meet his expectations and he was dissatisfied. He had made 
several attempts to locate a large business, but lack of finances was an 
obstacle he was unable to overcome. He had the reputation of manufacturing 
wholesome candies and for some time was alone in the field as far as conductng 
an exclusive candy kitchen. Recently two new kitchens have been opened and 
this was a source of anxiety to Maker who appreciated the fact that the city 
was too small to support the number. This is believed to have had a great 
deal to do with his determination to get out. The store is now in charge of 
Henry J. Pauli and has not been closed. 
Years ago Maker was wealthy and had considerable property in the state of 
Michigan, but mismanagement and reverses with which he met left him almost 
penniless and when he took up his home here he was without funds. It is 
reported that of late he had experienced financial difficulties. Another 
misfortune with which Maker was saddled was ill health and for many months 
during his early residence here he was afflicted with rheumatism and 
scarcely able to get about…

*******
KILLED.  On Saturday last, a man named Simon Mrodek (sic) was killed on 
the schooner Industry while unloading timber at George Guyles' lumber 
yard. The timber was quite heavy and a tackle was used in unloading. A 
couple of men were pulling on the rope and the timber was raised up 
about five feet. Mrodek was standing on the deck between two piles of 
timber, shoving on the piece which was hoisted. The men at the rope in 
some unaccountable way allowed the rope to slip through their hands and 
the piece of timber descended on Mrodek's piece of timber descended on 
Mrodek's head, crushing it against the timber on which he was standing. 
He was killed instantly. A pool of clotted blood on the deck showed 
where the man was killed, and at a short distance was another where he 
was placed after being taken from under the timber. His skull was broken 
into fragments where it came in contact with the wood. He was a man 36 
years of age and leaves a wife and two children.

cold, with the result above mentioned. It is seldom we are called upon to

Notes From Branch:
In commemoration of our dear friend Clara Martens:
Clara is sleeping, sweetly sleeping
In her low and silent bed,
Where she feels no pain or sorrow. 
She is sleeping, the sleep of the dead.
Do you wish to wake her, loved ones,
Take her from her rest with God,
Back on earth to journey onward
On the path your feet have trod?
No, I think, though 'tis lonely;
Kneel and kiss the chastening rod,
Saying, "Not as I wish to have it
But as thou hast, Oh! my god."
We a rugged road must travel
But we too must reach that geal.
Check the tears that you would lavish
Think how happy is her soul.
She but went to meet the others
Who have crossed some time before.
Now she is with other loved ones
Waiting till we too come o'er.
So while on earth we must yet linger
And temptations they will come,
Shun them till by God we're summoned
Then we'll meet our darling one.

MARTELL, CHILD OF MRS.

Fire in Two Rivers - Two Children Burned to Death
From Mr. John Wright, the Two Rivers mail carrier, we obtain these particulars
of a most heartrending occurence:
About five o'clock last Friday afternoon a fire broke out in a barn belonging
to Mr. Gottfried Berger, in Two Rivers. The flames speedily communicated to an 
adjacent house, owned and occupied as a dwelling by Frank Boutin, and to another 
barn owned by Jos. Gagnon. The engine and hook and ladder companies soon arrived 
on the ground, but too late to save the property from destruction.
Before the fire was extinguished, a painful rumor became current that two little
children - one a son of Frank Boutin, aged four years, and the other, aged five
years, a son of the widow Martell - were in the burning barn. The firemen and
citizens redoubled their efforts to subdue the flames, and when they had suceeded,
an investigation of the ruins confirmed their worst fears. The lifeless bodies
of the unfortunate little fellows were found lying on some wet and partially burned
straw, in one corner. Both bodies were horribly burned and disfigured, and only
one, that of little Boutin, could be recognized. When the body of the other child
was lifted up, one of its legs dropped off.
It is supposed that the children went into the barn unobserved, and, shutting the
door, built a fire on the floor. No outcry was heard, and they were probably
suffocated by the smoke before the flames reached them. Mr. and Mrs. Boutin were
absent at Green Bay visiting at the time, and Mrs. Martell supposed that her
child was safe at home.

MCALLISTER, FRANK  

Frank McAllister, a former resident of Manitowoc county, died Feb. 8th at Niagara, 
Marinette Co., Wis. The decedent was 84 years of age. He was one of the pioneer 
settlers of this county, and at one time carried the mail between Manitowoc and 
Green Bay, when there was only a foot path through a virgin wilderness. He carried 
on lumbering for a number of years and was engaged in farming until eight years ago 
when his health failed and he was obliged to give up work. His remains were interred 
at Cato beside the grave of his wife, who died six years ago. He leaves six children, 
four sons and two daughters, to mourn his loss.
The children are: Mrs. F. Weeman, Mrs. Brighton and Charles and Ed. McAllister, 
all of Kelly Brook; Bert of Mills Center and Hiram of Niagara, Wis.
Mr. McAllister was well and favorably known to hundreds of pioneer residents of 
this county, and all who had the privilege of knowing him will regret his passing. 
His career was a useful one and when the final summons came, he had the happy 
consciousness of leaving six worthy children to cherish his memory.

MCCARTHY, DENNIS

MYSTERIOUS LOVE AFFAIR
An intoxicated Swain Killed by one of Cupid's Darts
Disappearance of Considerable Money
On Friday last, District Attorney Turner received notice of the sudden death 
of a man by the name of Dennis McCarthy, under somewhat peculiar circumstances, 
and that the body was lying at the house of a widow lady by the name of Driscoll, 
living a short distance beyond Grimm's Station in the town of Cato; and it was 
desired that an inquest should be held over the body previous to its interment.
Accordingly, Mr. Turner, accompanied by under Sheriff Pierce and Doctors 
Patchen and Martin, preceded on Saturday to the place in question, called in 
a jury, made a careful examination of the corpse, during which it was found 
that through disease one side of the heart had become softened and a verdict 
was brought in that Dennis McCarthy came to his death by heart disease. 
Having performed their duties, these worthy men then returned, and this 
closes the first chapter of our story.
On Friday a man presented himself at the shop of Newell A. Davis of Cato, 
and, in a jovial manner, left an order for him to widow Driscoll, take the 
measure of a corpse and make a coffin, and then went jollily on his way. 
This created some little excitement at that lively little place, where, after 
some trouble, the following facts were obtained: |
Dennis McCarthy was a gay young son of Erin, of pleasing figure, more 
than usually intelligent, of a free and roving nature, and at the time of his 
demise, possessed between $700 and $1000 in bank bills, and had about 
four weeks previous appeared at the widow Driscoll's. Now the widow 
Driscoll has been in her day quite a character, she being the centre of a little 
society who used to assemble at her house and receive much exhilarating 
and elevating spirits. And it used to be reported that there were very few 
who could beat her at a joke, whether it were drinking "forty rud" on a wager, 
or in holding a full hand in "draw." But, of late, she has ceased to solicit Uncle 
Sam for permission, and her premises have assumed a more somber appearance, 
and not much more was known of her, save when she made, as she never failed 
to do, her periodical visit to Manitowoc.
It was on one of these that she met Dennis McCarthy, and to all appearance it 
was a genuine case of "love at first sight," for they sat up all night and went home 
together in the morning. Dennis had just before received toward $1000 in ready 
money, and it was to wonder that the widow's heart warmed toward the 
unprotected stranger, or that the winning ways of the Queen of Hearts and of 
Spades should have effectually ensnared poor Dennis. At least they went home 
together, and from this time nothing special is known of them except that two 
Irishmen report that Dennis offered to send them money, but did not succeed 
until his brother, who owns a farm in Meeme, and another living in Liberty, 
were notified of his death. Delirium Tremens was the cause which the bereaved 
widow assigns, asserting that, during a fit of insanity, he took all his money and 
tearing it all to pieces, burnt some of it up, in proof of which she is ready to show 
in a handkerchief some pieces.
It being generally believed that a legal operation had made them man and wife, 
she was asked about it, but answered on oath that it was not so; she had some 
contract about releasing the widow's farm, whereby some money had been paid, 
but this she denied intoto.
Sunday the brothers here to his last resting place Dennis McCarthy, a devotee 
of Cupid, who was killed by the little god because he was dividing the homage 
with Bacchus.

MCCAULEY, FRANK

FORMER MANITOWOC BOY MURDERED ON THE HIGH SEAS
STABBED AND THROWN INTO SEA IS REPORT
Frank McCauley Is Victim of Foul Play on Boat 
A victim of revenge of sailors on his boat who resented punishment he had 
imposed upon them, Frank McCauley, a former Manitowoc man, is believed to 
have been murdered and his body thrown into the sea from the steamer Patrick 
Henry of the Diamond Steamship line, on which he was chief engineer. The 
murder occurred sometime after the vessel had left Hamburg for return to 
the states. The body was not recovered.
Details of the tragedy were received in wireless messages to the offices of 
the steamship company, which were relayed to Capt. Con McCauley, father of 
the dead man and for years an employee of the Goodrich Transit company as 
captain of the steamer Carolina. Full report of the murder of the McCauley 
can not be obtained until the Patrick Henry reaches New York on August 8.
Brother Sends Wire Here 
Messages were received here last night from Patrick McCauley, brother of the 
murdered man from his home at Milwaukee, telling of the report. He is employed 
as a salesman for the Invincible Metal Furniture company of this city and 
advised the offices here of his return to Milwaukee to be with his mother who 
is seriously ill as result of the death of her son.
Capt. Con McCauley, for years a resident here where with his son Frank, he 
sailed Goodrich Boats, is in command of the Graham & Morton line steamer Benton 
Harbor operating out of Chicago and received news of the tragedy there. The 
family home is at Milwaukee where Mrs. McCauley was notified. 
Letter Reveals Danger 
Only the bare facts that Mr. McCauley had been lost overboard on July 18 and 
that murder was suspected were contained in the dispatch received by Capt. 
McCauley, but recent letters received by the victim’s fiancé to whom he was 
to have been married on his return to the states, said that he was having 
trouble with four of his crew members and declared he feared they would 
attack and kill him at first opportunity. The letter was written a short time 
before the Patrick Henry sailed from Hamburg, Germany.
According to the letter received by Miss Hansen, the fiance of the victim, and 
which she forwarded to Capt. McCauley from her home in Brooklyn, McCauley had 
been having much trouble with two Spanish and two Russian Bolshevik members 
of his enginemen crew. Recently on the out voyage, he had them placed in irons 
for insubordination.
“That is why we are inclined to believe that my brother was murdered and cast 
into the ocean,” explained Mrs. Walter Lord, sister of the victim, who arrived 
from her home at St. Paul to visit her mother late in the day.
“The telegram also intimated that the death might have been the result of foul 
play."
Besides his father and mother, the victim is survived by four brothers and one 
sister. He was the youngest chief engineer in the United States merchant marine 
service.

MCCAULEY WAS SUICIDE SAYS BOAT CAPTAIN
That Frank McCauley, chief engineer of the steamer Patrick Henry reported 
murdered on the high seas, was a suicide and his death not due to mutiny 
is a statement credited to Captain Kirk of the steamer in dispatches from 
New Orleans today. A farewell letter written by McCauley was sent to his 
mother, Mrs. Con McCauley by Capt. Kirk.
McCauley was a former Manitowoc man, son of Capt. McCauley formerly with 
the Goodrich company.

FAMILY ASKS U.S. PROBE OF MC CAULY DEATH
Relatives of Frank McCauley former Manitowoc man, a marine engineer, 
who died at sea July 18 while on the steamer Patrick Henry, are not satisfied 
with reports of Captain Kirk, commander of the vessel, that McCauley was 
probably a suicide and the family will ask that the government take up an 
investigation to determine the facts in the case. Letters written by McCauley 
to the girl he was to wed at Jersey City upon his return, stated that he feared 
that he was to be made the victim of foul play because of having ordered four 
members of the crew into irons for infraction of rules. Captain Kirk, at New 
Orleans, yesterday said that there had been no mutiney about the Patrick 
Henry and intimated that McCauly had committed suicide.

THERE WERE MANY COMPLICATIONS.
Trial Agreement was Reached in the Probate Court at Last Tuesday's Session.
After seventeen years of litigation the estate of Michael McCourt, who 
before he died resided at Grimms, was settle in Probate court on Tueseay

the late law firm of Schmtiz & Kirwan, and after the dissolution of the 
law partnership and the elevation Judge Kirwan to the Circuit court 
bench the case was transferred to Attorney Richard Burke. Since the 
estate was thrown into the Probate court the widow and a son Michael 
McCourt died, and this tended to complicate the situation.
An eighty acre farm was involved, valued at $5,000 and the settlement is 
as follows: To the daughters Ellen and Sarah Ann goes the homestead and 
ten acres of land; another daughter gets $100, Chas. McCourt receives 
$4,200 and the balance is taken by Michael McCourt, Jr. which is 60 
acres of land.

********
John Meehan of Cato was killed at the Branch crossing Tuesday night by the 
railway train which reaches this city at 8:30. He had been to the city with a load 
of peas and was on his way home. The front part of the wagon was struck and 
one of the horses was killed. When found, Mr. Meehan was groaning, but he 
was in his death agonies. The remains were brought to this city and an inquest 
was held before Justice Brandt.
A young fellow named Fred Albrecht had been to the Branch river and had just 
crossed the track. He met Mr. Meehan on the little bridge a short distance east 
of the track and shouted to him that the train was coming, but either he failed to 
hear him or misunderstood him as he drove on. The conductor of the train was 
Thomas Meagher and the engineer P.J. Hayes.
Meehan was 65 years old, a native of county Clare, Ireland and a well to do 
farmer having come to the county in an early day. He was a man of excellent 
habits and was a reputable citizen.
The verdict of the coroner's jury was that the cause of death was accidental 
and not due to the negligence of the engineer.

MEHRMANN, CHRISTIAN 

From the Files of the Pilot - Fifty Years Ago - (1874)
We learn that Mr. Christian Mehrmann of Kossuth came in from his day's labor on 
his farm yesterday about 8 pm bleeding profusely from the lungs, through his mouth 
and nose. His wife ran to the neighbors in great hast for help and returned with some 
of the neighboring women, who were so frightened that they left the distracted wife 
alone with her dying husband. When assistance finally came, they found the wife and 
husband both dead, the wife dying as is supposed from heart disease. The aged couple 
were about sixty-six years old and must have passed away within the same half hour.

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

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.

aged 72 years.
Christian W. Meyer was an old and esteemed resident of this city, having settled here 
upwards of 35 years ago, and by an upright life won the confidence and esteem of a 
large circle of friends. He was born in Euiten, Holstein, August 18th, 1816 and came 
to this country in 1852, coming to Two Rivers to live in a few months after landing on 
our shores. He was a carpenter by trade but since 1871 he was a manufacturer of 
cigars. His funeral was a large one and was under the auspices of the Sons of Herman 
to which order he belonged. H. Falge of Manitowoc delivered the funeral oration and 
the Two Rivers Maennerchor sang the dirges for the sad occasion.

MEYER, DAVID

The remains found on the beach near Mann's pier have been identified by a 
memorandum book found upon his person to be those of David Meyer, a 
man about 25 years of age, who was drowned by falling from the mast head 
of the schooner Sea Gem, lying at anchor in the bay, on the 1st of May, 1873. 
The remains were first discovered shortly after the man was lost and a Justice 
of the Peace in the town of Newton held what he called an inquest, but failed 
to report the circumstances to the proper authorities. The memorandum book, 
several pictures and other contents of the dead man's pockets were distributed 
among those who helped to bury him, and had the waves not washed the dirt 
from over the bones, it is probable that the parents of the unfortunate man, who 
reside in Sheboygan, would never have known where his last resting place was. 
They now have the satisfaction of knowing that he has been decently buried.

The crew of the Navagh consisted of Captain Griffin, two mates, five

cook…Two Mackinaw boats were brought down to the beach, opposite the 
wreck…The boat succeeded in reaching the vessel, and taking off the two 
mates, two of the seamen and Mrs Miles, attempted to return. This was 
about noon on Saturday. The boat was twice overturned by the waves in 
returning, the last time in the surf near the beach, when those on the 
shore waded out and rescued her crew and passengers. Mrs. Miles, who had 
endured every hardship during the night without a murmur, was utterly 
exhausted and chilled through, and half drowned by the capsizing of the 
boat. Dry clothing was wrapped about her, and she was placed in a wagon 
and driven to Two Rivers as rapidly as possible but died immediately 
afterwards. She was about 55 years of age, and the captain speaks of her 
as a worthy woman, who was the only support of a widowed daughter and

notified the sawyers that the tree was about to fall, when they replied that they were 
able to take care of themselves. Shortly after the tree fell, and in its downward

instantly killed; the other escaped. Deceased was a resident of Neshoto.

MIRSCOSH, FRANK

Instantly Killed
Frank Mirskosh(sic), a sober, industrious Bohemian, residing in the Town 
of Cooperstown, accompanied by a young son, left his house last Friday 
morning and walked to this city, the object of his visit being the 
payment of a debt he owed here. He transacted his business in the city 
and was on the point of returning home the way he came when chance threw 
him in the way of a man, with his team, was about to go to the vicinity 
of Mirskosh's home and offered him a ride. He accepted the offer and 
mounting the high "spring" seat of the lumber wagon was soon on his way 
home. It appears that the man with whom he was riding was drunk; that 
just after passing the toll gate, the team after which Mirshkosh was 
riding was forced into a race with another coming up behind it, that it 
was driven furiously for a short distance, when one of the wheels coming 
in contact with a log on the side of the road, the wagon box and seat 
were jarred to such an extent that Mirskosh was thrown out upon the 
ground, falling in such a position that the wheels of the hindmost wagon 
passed over his face before he would recover himself. The result was 
that the unfortunate man was instantly killed, nearly the entire head 
being crushed in a horrible manner. The fiends who were driving the 
horses with a brutality almost unparalleled, did not even stop their 
horses to ascertain the extent of the injuries sustained by their 
passenger and only slacked up sufficiently to allow the victim's son to 
jump out and see to his father. When he reached him, life was of course 
extinct and the only thing to be done was to have the body conveyed to 
this city where a coroner's jury viewed him and returned a verdict in 
accordance with the above. The remains were placed in a coffin and 
conveyed to Cooperstown the following day. This victim of the 
carelessness of a drunken driver was about 45 years of age and he leaves 
quite a family to mourn his sudden and terrible death. We have thus far 
been unable to learn the names of the parties who owned the teams, but 
it is hoped that some measures will be taken to bring them to account 
for their inhumanity, drunkenness and fast driving on the public highway.

MOSHER, LYMAN	

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT:
One of the most painful accidents that we were ever called upon to record occurred 
last Thursday, at the Manitowoc Woolen Mills, after our paper had gone to press. It 
seems a boy named Lyman Mosher about 14 years of age employed in the Mill went 
down to the lower floor for the purpose of shutting off some of the motion, some part 
of the machinery connected with the gate being out of order. The lever which closed 
the gate was on the farther side of an iron shaft which was making about one hundred 
revolutions per minute, and which was about three feet high. The proper way to do 
was to go under the shaft and then shut the gate, but the boy being tall for one of his 
age reached over, and it is supposed while in this position his coat a blouse would 
round the shaft and in a moment he was revolving at a fearful rate.
It is unknown how many times he went round but probably a great many. The boy 
was not missed, but one of the belts happening to break the foreman of an upper 
room went below and the first thing he saw was the boy's clothes wound about the 
shaft. Looking around he heard a groan proceeding from the ice some twelve feet 
below. Calling for help, the boy was soon brought up into the engine room where it 
was found that his head was badly bruised, the flesh torn from his right arm and the 
bone broken, his right leg broken just below the hip, the left below the knee, and 
every stitch of his clothing save one shoe and stocking torn entirely off and left on 
the shaft. In this condition he laid on the ice with thermometer 10 below, until both 
his feet were frozen--probably fifteen minutes. Medical aid was summoned and 
everything done for the boy that could be, but after terrible suffering he died 
Saturday at 1 o'clock. The funeral was held at the residence of his brother, 
Mr. Alfred Mosher, on Sunday and was largely attended by sympathizing friends.

MRSKOSH, FRANK

Fatal Accident.
On Friday last a Bohemian named Mroskosh(sic), a resident of the town of 
Cooperstown, met with sudden death on the Menasha plank road about a 
quarter of a mile west of the toll gate. It appears that the unfortunate 
man in company with his son, a lad of about fourteen years of age, were 
on their way home, and were riding in the wagon of a neighbor called 
Kuchera. Kuchera started in company with another team owned and driven 
by a Mr. Linefelt of Kossuth. On leaving the city Linefelt started 
ahead, Kuchera following close both going at a rapid pace. Kuchera 
trying to pass Linefelt, who, however, kept the lead. After they had got 
through the toll gate they overtook a team loaded with sand; they hauled 
to the right hand side to pass on a full gallop; and just as Kuchera's 
team was passing the load of sand the off front (sic) wheel of his wagon 
struck a log and threw Mroskosh out of his wagon. The sand wagon passed 
over his head and crushed his skull.
Surgical aid was immediately sent for, but the unfortunate man was dead 
before it arrived.
The accident seems to have been the result of the common reckless 
practice (of which too many of our farmers are guilty), of racing and 
fast driving on their way home.
We hope this sad occurrence may teach them a lesson, and that they will 
be more careful in the future.

We are indebted to Mr. Louis Brummer, of Mishicott, for the particulars 
of a case of suicide which occurred in that town on the 27th ult.  On that day 
Gottfried Mueller was found hanging in his barn, his neck broken, and life extinct. 
A jury was summoned and a post mortem examination held by Doctors Oswald and Simon.  
The conclusion arrived at was that he committed suicide.  Private and domestic jars 
appear to have been the cause of the rash act.  Mr. M. bore a good reputation, and 
owned considerable property.  His funeral was attended by a large number of people.

to be fatal. She was leading a cow, which stumbled, causing the rope to cut Mrs.

did not heal and her arm swelled so that it measured two feet around before her death.

Forest Junction on Monday. He was cut in two by the cars. A few years 
ago he was a resident of this city.

*********
Patrick Murphy, a brakesman on an extra train on the Lake Shore 
railroad, fell between the cars on Sunday evening as the train was 
approaching Forest Junction, and three cars passed over his body, 
cutting him in two across the chest, and throwing his heart, liver and 
lungs at least five feet from his body. The young man was 26 years of 
age, and had been working on the road for three years. The remains were 
conveyed to Marion, (where his brother, his only relative in this 
country, resides,) for burial.
