THOMPSON, G.B.

Valders Man Dead in West
Dispatch Tells of Death of G.B. Thompson at Pueblo
"G.B.Thompson died at Pueblo, Col., last night. Ask relatives what to do 
with body. Answer at once. J.L. McGuire"
This telegram received Tuesday night by Postmaster H.G. Kress of this 
city, brought news of the death of a Valders man in the far west. The 
dispatch was forwarded from Grand Forks, N.D., where Thompson located 
after leaving here and where the first inquiry was made. Mr. Kress 
located relatives of the dead man at Valders and wired to have the body 
forwarded here at once and it will probably arrive this week.
Mr. Thompson is a son of the late Tosten Thompson who removed from 
Valders to Door County, the son later going west and locating at Grand 
Forks, N.D., where he was employed by an electrical company. Later he 
removed to Pueblo and had been there some time. No details of the death 
are known but it is believed that Thompson lost his life in an accident 
as relatives had not been advised that he was ill. He was 30 years of 
age and unmarried. Two aunts, Mrs. Ole Thompson at Valders and Mrs. Jos. 
Halverson of Clarks Mills and two cousins, N.T. Nelson and Gulie Nelson, 
Route 4 of this city are surviving. The burial will probably be held at

TURENSKY, ALOIS 

REEDSVILLE MAN A SUICIDE
Aged Lover's Affection Repulsed and He Ends Life with Rope
Enfeebled by age and believing himself in love with one of the daughters 
of his neighbor, Alois Turinsky(sic), an aged Reedsville resident 
committed suicide there on Sunday night by hanging, when told by the 
mother of the girl that he must desist in his attention. Turinsky, who 
was 95 years of age and bordering on the verge of his second childhood, 
created a disturbance in front of the home of the young woman of whom he 
was enamored on Sunday evening and the mother of the latter repaired to 
the home of Louis Turinsky, a son, with whom the old man lived and 
upbraided him for his demonstration saying in the course of the 
conservation that he could never expect to become a husband to the girl. 
This preyed upon the mind of Turinsky and he tied a rope to a rafter and 
swung off.

UMBELLUS, BONASA

TERRIBLE MURDER:
A Vivid Description of the Killing.
Just as we go to press we learn of the most melancholy occurrence that it has ever 
been our painful duty to record. Death is always a solemn event, but when the rude 
hand of the murderer woefully and maliciously sends the leaden messenger that 
summons the spirit to another sphere of action, then, truly is it horrible! But to be 
brief, the circumstances as we learn them are as follows: On Monday last two men 
from this place went out to a sugar bush ostensibly to get some sugar, but taking a 
shot gun with them they put it to a terrible use. When going through a dense thicket 
they met Mr. Bonasa Umbellus a resident of that neighborhood and without hestitation 
fired; and it is said, killed him instantly. Our informant is Mr. App. Reil Fule, who came 
to town early this morning.

SUICIDE OF A YOUNG GIRL.?a girl aged fourteen years, of Bohemian 
parents, living in the town of Kossuth, hung herself to a tree about 
three weeks since. She had become displeased with the hard work she was 
subjected to on the farm, and had often requested permission of her 
parents to allow her to come to town to live. The parents as often 
refused and she became depressed in spirits. One morning about the 28th 
of last month, she left the house, and was not heard from until about 
the 5th inst., when she was found a corpse suspended by a rope from a 
limb of a tree about eighty rods from the house.

MAN, LISTED HERE AS BEING BURIED, DENIES DEATH TALE
Reports that he had met an untimely death in the Manitowoc river during the past 
winter were branded as not only being entirely premature but also false by George 
Fox, itinerant painter who returned to this city yesterday with the statement 
that he had spent the winter in New Orleans. He also denies that he is buried in 
Potters' field at Evergreen cemetery.
Several months ago a floating body was taken from the Manitowoc river at the 
shipyards after employes of the company had noticed the corpse in the river. 
Partial identification was made by two West Side residents who knew Fox and his 
name was listed on the police records as the victim of an unexplained death.

DEAD MAN IS TAKEN OUT OF RIVER AT YARD
Identity Unknown As No Marks on Clothing and No One Reported Missing Here
Mystery surrounds the identity of a man whose body was taken from the river 
in the rear of the offices of the Manitowoc Shipbuilding Corporation this 
morning after discovery of the body had been reported by Frank Kinstry, 
laundryman, on occasion of his daily visit to the yards. Kinstry noted the 
body floating in the river and it was pulled out by employees at the yards 
and turned over to the police.
That the man had been dead for many days was indicated by the decomposed 
condition and search of his clothing failed to reveal anthing that might 
identify him. There was no money or other valuables, no papers and no mark 
on the clothing that might aid in establishing who the man may be.
Dead Man About 50
The dead man is about 48-50 years of age, weighs 165 pounds, 5 feet, 7 inches 
and wore a pair of top boots, a combination wool and leather jacket and 
overalls.
There were no marks on the body except a small cut on the leg, due probably 
to contact with some obstruction in the river. It is possible the man may 
have been lost from a boat although this not accepted because the body has 
probably been in the water for so long and with little operation of boats 
that far up river.
The body was taken to the Vogelsang morgue and if it is not claimed, will be 
buried by the county.
Police said that they had no report of any person missing here and no one who 
has viewed the remains has been able to assist in identification.

Two Rivers section:
BODY IS UNCLAIMED, STRANGER SOUGHT TO CONCEAL IDENTITY
TORE PAGES FROM NOTEBOOK IN HIS POCKET
Remains taken to Cemetery and Will Be Buried By the County After 3 Day Wait
BULLETIN
A message received shortly before two o?clock this afternoon by 
Sheriff ? the Milwaukee Police Department advised him that some 
parties, who believed that the stranger found hanging in a 
deserted shack north of Two Rivers Monday afternoon, was a relative 
of theirs were enroute to Two Rivers in an effort to identify the 
remains. The message did not give the names of the persons who were 
coming but indicated that from the description they thought they 
could identify the body.
With no one being able to identify the stranger found hanging in the 
lonely shack near the Twin River Point lighthouse Monday afternoon, 
by Capt. Peter Pietroski Jr. of the local fire department, the body 
was, late today, taken to the receiving vault at the city cemetery 
here from the Beduhn and Goetz chapel, where the same has been kept 
in the hope that someone would be able to identify it. The remains 
will be kept in the vault there for three or four days, and then if 
no one claims the body, the remains will be buried at the expense of 
the county. That the stranger made every effort to conceal his identity 
is evident from a further examination of a small notebook found among 
his effects. Two or three pages in this book which probably contained 
writing and possibly the address of a relative had been torn from the 
book, so that only blank pages remained. While the man carried a 
receipt made out to ?L.S. Williams? the laundry mark on his shirt and 
collar bore the initials ?K.N.? which would indicate that his name was 
not Williams. 
Scores View Body. 
Scores visited the undertaking parlors yesterday and today but none 
could identify the stranger. A south side school teacher, whose parents 
reside on the Sandy Bay road, stated that the stranger looked like a 
man that passed them on the road Sunday evening and acted suspiciously, 
seeking to avoid them. She paid little attention to the incident then 
but recalled the actions of the stranger when the body was found. 
No Foul Play. 
There is no indication of foul play. The dead man methodically prepared 
for death. He hung his hat on a peg, put his rubbers under the bench 
and then dropped the rope over the rafter, tied one end about his neck, 
stepped on the bench and kicked the same out from under him to drop to 
his death. Had the rope been an inch longer, his plan would have failed 
as when Pietroski found the body his toes were touching the boards on 
the floor of the shack. The electric railway receipt indicated that he 
had probably been in Sheboygan on Saturday. The general theory now is 
that the dead man did not want his identity discovered and used every 
effort to destroy any means of identification.
Manitowoc Herald News, Wednesday, April 25, 1928 Page 11

(NOTE: Subsequent articles found no one who could identify the man, so
they decided to bury him in a paupers grave in the pauper's cemetery

beach near the residence of Charles Keehn, Esq., midway between here and 
Two Rivers on the 18th Inst. He was 5 feet 5 inches in height, and brown 
hair and light beard. He wore a pair of footed hip boots, two pairs of 
socks, one woolen and one cotton, red and white comforter, and checkered 
shirt collar. No other clothing. There was a wound of the skin near the 
right eye, and a perpendicular cut up and down the right check to the 
corner of the right eye. Dr. Oswald of Two Rivers, who examined the 
body, says he was a man of strong muscle, and had sound teeth. The

BODY FOUND-Probable Murder.-We are informed by Mr. Andrew Retelle, of
Centreville, that the body of a man aged about 45 years, apparently an
American, was found on the beach in that town last Tuesday evening by
a farmer named Zeich. The body was dressed with white shirt, black sack
coat, black velvet vest, light colored pants and light boots. An inquest
was held by Mr. Retelle, and from a bruise on the forehead and nose,
and the testimony of Dr. Lisman, the jury found that the deceased must
have been killed and then thrown into the lake, and that he could not
have been in the water more than two days. Dr. L. gave it as his opinion
that he was murdered, but it was possible that he might have been struck
by a boom or some other portion of the rigging of a vessel. He did not
appear like a sailor, and wore no under clothes of any kind. He was partly
bald and wore gray whiskers. The body was buried in the village of
Centreville.

VAN CALLIGAN, ERNST 

DROWNED IN CISTERN
Ernst, the infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Van Galligan(sic) was drowned in an open cistern 
Tuesday afternoon. The little son was 17 months of age. The family resides in the Gruman 
addition.
The mother was busy with her work and the little one wandered away a few feet from the 
home and fell into the open cistern located only 10 feet away. Mrs. Van Galligan missed her 
child after only a few minutes. She could find no trace of it on the street or anywhere on the 
premises. After five minutes' search, she went to the open cistern and saw the little one floating 
on the surface. A physician was hastily summoned but all efforts at resuscitation failed.
An extraordinary ?? of the ?? occurrence is the fact that the child's lungs were found filled with 
water and yet the body floated on the surface. The water was six feet deep. The mother and 
father are grief stricken over the loss of the little one. They have the sympathy of the entire 
community in their bereavement. The funeral occurred Thursday afternoon from St. Luke's Church.

WHELAN, HORTON

MAPLE GROVE MAN FOUND DEAD AT SIDE OF ROAD
MYSTERY IN DEATH OF HORTON WHEALAN(sic), 28, WHOSE BODY WAS 
FOUND BY NEIGHBOR EARLY TODAY. INQUEST TO BE HELD.
Horton Whealan, aged 28, a resident of Maple Grove where he had 
lived all his life, was found dead on the roadway a half mile 
from the Watt store early today, the man?s death being shrouded 
in mystery which District Attorney Schmitz and Coroner Falge will 
seek to solve by holding of an inquest. The dead body of Whealan, 
who is said to have been a character of the town, was found early 
this morning by John Gorgan as the latter was driving his cows to 
pasture. Report was made to District Attorney Schmitz and Sheriff 
Engelbrecht and Mr. Schmitz immediately departed for the scene. 
Later Coroner Falge was summoned and an investigation is being made. 
Details received from Maple Grove are meager and it is said the 
authorities have been unable to find anyone who was with Whealan 
last night. It is said there are no marks on the body to indicate 
that Whealan might have been the victim of automobile speeders as 
it was at first suggested. 
Whealen, it is said, was not about his usual haunts last night and 
nothing is known as to his whereabouts yesterday. The man is said 
to have been addicted to drink and may have been a victim to exposure, 
though the weather was not cold last night. It is believed that 
Whealen met death sometime late last night as physicians say the 
man had been dead some hours when the body was found. 
District Attorney Schmitz and Deputy Sheriff Engelbrecht had not 
returned from Maple Grove late this afternoon.

WHEALAN DIED FROM NATURAL CAUSES IS BELIEF
INQUEST OVER DEATH OF MAPLE GROVE MAN IS ADJOURNED UNTIL 
NEXT WEDNESDAY. BLOOD ON CAP OF DEAD MAN CAUSES INVESTIGATION 
INTO DEATH
Although authorities are inclined to believe that Horton Whealen, the 
Maple Grove man whose dead body was found at the roadside yesterday 
came to his death from natural causes, there are circumstances revealed 
by the investigation made yesterday that may result in unearthing a 
crime, it is said. The inquest called yesterday was adjourned until 
next Wednesday after the drawing of a jury, members of which are 
Patrick Cahill, John J. Cohen, Joseph Remiker, Edward Weld, William 
Kirby and J.D. Nate. 
Whealen was last seen alive about 6 o?clock Thursday night when 
Thomas Fenelon passed the man seated at the roadside a short distance 
from the point where the body was found later. It is said that Whealen 
appeared to be under the influence of liquor but no trace of his 
whereabouts from that hour has been found. Whealen?s cap was bespattered 
with blood though there were no marks of violence on the body to indicate 
that the man had been attacked. The presence of blood is a mystery which 
the authorities will seek to solve before the inquest is called. 
Whealen?s body was found near the Morrisey home and was face down. The 
remains were taken in charge by Undertaker Ed Watt of Maple Grove. 
Whealen has a brother residing at Mishicott and is also survived by two 
sisters.
Manitowoc Daily Herald, Saturday, October 23, 1915,Page 8
********* 
There is an article in the Maple Grove section saying he is buried in 
"the potter's field". I don't know if that's supposed to be by Maple 
Grove or in Manitowoc. He's not listed in the Manitowoc one. The 
article is not transcribed because it repeats the other articles 
already transcribed, but does add the potter's field bit at the end.
********
Was Horton Whelan, 28, set upon and beaten to death by Oneida Indians, known 
to be hanging about Maple Grove, or by some other parties on Thursday night? 
This is the question that District Atty Schmitz and Sheriff Engelbrecht will attempt 
to solve before the coroner's jury named to decide on the cause of death. It meets 
at Watt's place at Maple Grove next Wednesday afternoon. Suspicious circumstances 
led to the adjournment of the inquest for several days to give time for investigation. 
There was a blood dot and bruise on the top of Whelan's head and his hat was found 
on his back. He was laying face downward on the side of the road and his face was 
discolored when the grewsome find was made early Friday morning on the road half 
a mile north of Maple Grove by John Goggin. Whelen was seen about noon on 
Thursday when he purchased a quantity of whiskey. Later he was seen intoxicated, 
seated at the side of the road about two miles north of the spot where the dead body 
was found Friday morning. Whelan had been up north and had been employed by a 
farmer named Mangin. He has a brother working on the state road and two married 
sisters in Milwaukee. The burial will probably be Monday. The district attorney 
discovered blood blots on the inside of Whelan's hat and the fact that the hat was 
found on the back of the dead man, indicates that it must have been placed there by 
some assailant. The theory that Whelan may have been rundown by a passing 
automobile is not seriously considered by officials. It is known that there is a band 
of Oneida Indians working on farms in the vicinity of Green Bay. It is possible that 
some of them may know of how Whelan came to his death. Whelan was partly 
crippled and during his youth was a resident of Manitowoc for a couple of years, 
attending school here.

DECLARES BROTHER WAS VICTIM OF MURDEROUS ASSULT, 
ASKS INVESTIGATION BE REOPENED
FRED WHELAN, MAPLE GROVE, WHOSE BROTHER WAS FOUND DEAD AT ROADSIDE, 
SAYS HE HAS CLEW TO IDENTITY OF MEN HE ALLEGES ATTACKED AND KILLED 
MAN - SCHMITZ TO CONSIDER INFORMATION GIVEN
Declaring that he is in possession of facts which leads him to 
believe that his brother, whose dead body was found at the roadside 
in the town of Maple Grove two months ago, was the victim of a 
murderous assault. 
Fred Whelan has appealed to District Attorny Schmitz and Sheriff 
Engelbrecht to reopen investigation of the case. Whelan conferred 
with officials this week.
Whelan's brother, Horton Whelan, was found dead at the side of the 
road in the town two months ago after having been missing for a 
day or more. While the circumstances surrounding the death were 
considered rather peculiar and warranted an inquest, the coroner's 
jury returned a verdict of death due to natural causes.
At the time of the inquest there was a suspicion that the body had 
been carried to the spot where it was found but there was no evidence 
to substantiate this theory. Indians who are said to have been in the 
neighborhood were also referred to.
In his statement to the authorities this week Fred Whelan claims to 
have secured a clew that leads him to believe that his brother was 
killed by an attack upon him by an indian and white man in a shack 
near where the body was found. Whelan is of the opinion that his 
brother may have been killed in a fight, or by ????? upon and that 
the body was later carried to the spot where it was found. Just what 
information Whelan has secured has not been made public but District 
Attorney Schmitz will consider it and if warranted will re-open the 
investigation.
Report is said to have been made to federal authorities that Indians 
have secured liquor and it was said that some prosecutions might 
follow but no action has yet been taken.

WHITE, CHARLES W.

From Der Nord Westen, 13 Mar. 1902
Charles W. White died Fri. night in a railroad accident in Texas. 
Following the death of his wife he had been living with his son in 
Antigo and recently took a trip to the east and south. A few weeks 
ago it was reported that he met his daughter-in-law in Washington, 
the wife of his son Clarence who resides in St. Louis. From there 
they undertook a rail trip through the south and were on a Southern 
Pacific train last Thurs. night going to Alabama. The train was 2 
hours late and in an attempt to make up time by increasing speed, 
one car of the 6-car train left the tracks on a curve in Sanderson,
Texas, and pulled the other cars, locomotive and tender with it. The 
Pullman car stayed on the tracks. The first car to leave the tracks 
burst into flames and no one was able to help as its passengers were 
consumed. 12 people died in this fashion, including Charles W. White 
and his daughter-in-law. Mr. White was born, if we are correctly advised, 
in 1826 in New York State and came as a boy with his parents to Wisconsin. 
His father was a missionary to the Indians in this part of Wisconsin, 
settling first near Green Bay and then later in Calumet County. Charles 
learned the Indian language and their hunting methods. As a boy he 
delighted in playing with the Indian children. In the late 40's he made 
a trip to Germany with a Mr. Ostenfeldt, brother of F. Ostenfeldt here, 
and became acquainted with Miss Louise Ostenfeldt there with whom he 
married in 1849. The young couple resided in Green Bay, Chilton, and Two 
Rivers, and then settled in Manitowoc in the late 50's where Mr. White
practiced law. Mr. White served with the 45th Wisconsin Regiment during 
the Civil War and was a member of the local G.A.R. Post. Mrs. White died 
about 2 yrs. ago and Mr. White went to Antigo to reside with his son. He 
leaves 3 sons, a 4th son having died many years ago.


WHITE, KENNETH C.

Home, Manitowoc.
He was born September 16, 1912, in Seindon, England, son of the late Charles and 
Edith Bingham White. He attended schools in England. He married Margaret Drury 
on March 14, 1933, in Swindon, England. The couple came to the United States in 
1957. He worked as an interior decorator and upholster. The couple spent 15 years 
in the Upper Peninsula, coming to make their home in Manitowoc in 1977, after he 
retired.
Survivors include three sons and two daughters-in-law, Graham and Christine White, 
Escanaba, Mich., Derek and Rita White, Little Chute, Clifford, Seattle, wash. He is

England, and a very special friend and companion, Herriet Haese, Manitowoc, 
15 grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his wife,

WICKERT, LIZZIE

Died In Life's Morning.
Miss. (sic) Lizzie Wickert, daughter of Mrs. Catherine Wickert, 
died at the home of her mother on South 9th street at 11 o'clock 
last night. Consumption, that elusive, insiduous foe of humanity, 
was the cause of her death. She had been sick for about a year 
but, although the ravages of disease had been apparent to friends, 
death was not expected.
The deceased was born June 28, 1876 and most of her short life was 
passed in this city. She will be remembered as one by whose presence 
the world was made a little brighter, a little more loving. Of a 
sweet considerate disposition, her friends were limited only by her 
circle of acquaintances. Of a bright, sunshiny dispostion, her mere 
presence brought with it a cheering influence, a gleam of solace for 
the care-weary hearts of those who were near and dear to her.
Death, ever a sad visitor, seems doubly cruel in this instance. 
Standing in full sunshine of life's morning, surrounded by those she 
loved and happy in the consciousness of love returned, she seemed to 
be just entering upon a life of fullest happiness. Within a few short 
weeks she was to have become the bride of her heart's ideal and, with 
the pathetic hope of consumption's victims, she fondly believed that 
her health would be fully restored 'ere the wedding day arrived. But 
it was not to be. She has passed beyond the reach of human joys or 
sorrows. Freed from its frail and earthly tenement her spirit has 
passed beyond the vail (sic). The bereaved hearts left to mourn her 
loss may surely find solace in the rememberance of her pure and 
generous character, her life so full of love and kindness. 
Funeral services will be held at St. Boniface church next Friday 
morning.

WIEMANN, MR.

SUICIDE - It is our painful duty to inform our readers of the sudden death of one of the 
oldest and earliest settlers of our county, Mr. Wiemann, of Neshoto, who in a fit of insanity 
took his own life last Monday evening in the rear of his farm on the Neshoto river, by 
shooting himself.
We have known him since he first landed in Two Rivers some twenty five years ago, with his 
wife and a numerous family of little children. He bought a farm near Neshoto on which he has 
worked hard ever since, so that he was in quite good circumstances; still the fixed idea grew 
upon him that he was poor and that his credit was ruined forever, which, with increasing 
conjugal difficulties, led him to end his troubles by taking his own life.  He was well educated 
and, wherever known, highly esteemed for his strict honesty in every transaction and urbanity 
and kindness to his family and friends.

WILDE, AUGUST

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. 
AUGUST WILDE
His family lives two miles from town, on the Calumet road. He was 18 years of age; a 
shoemaker by trade, but went sailing this spring as deck hand on the Sea Bird. He came 
to this place when a small boy. We learn he was a quiet, industrious, well behaved young 
man.
(Article continues in the same manner for each individual lost on the SEA BIRD; Geo. W.

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.

WILLMAN, JOHN F. (JACK)

John F. (Jack) Willman passed away on Monday, June 3 at his home in Three Lakes. 
His last hours were spent resting peacefully in the arms of his children watching his beloved 
birds feed on the shores of Virgin Lake.
Jack was born in Manitowoc on Dec. 16, 1929 to Carl and Virginia (Rohrer) Willman. His 
parents preceded him in death.
He attended St. Andrew's grade school, Washington Junior High and Lincoln High School 
where he graduated in 1948, after distinguishing himself as an outstanding athlete on the football, 
baseball and basketball teams.
He was a veteran of the U.S. Army, having served in Okinawa and Tokyo from 1949 to 1951. 
While serving overseas, he had an opportunity to travel extensively as a member of the divisional 
football, volleyball and basketball teams.
Jack married Dottie Pieschel of Manitowoc on Dec. 27, 1952. The couple brought five children 
into the world: Jon, Triss, David, Pat and Steve.
Jack's love of athletics carried over long after his playing days ended. He volunteered countless 
hours to coaching the Holy Innocents Catholic grade school boys basketball teams to many city 
and regional championships. He was an avid fan of the University of Wisconsin basketball and 
football teams and followed the hapless Milwaukee Brewers and Green Bay Packers through 
good years and bad.
He was employed by Vinton Construction Company for 40 years as a heavy equipment operator 
and paving superintendent until his retirement in 1992. He was a member of the International Union 
of Operating Engineers Local 139.
Following his road construction career, he helped build a successful food and beverage business as 
a partner in The Lounge, which later became Desert Jack's, a popular north side pub and eatery.
In the summer of 1994, he moved to Three Lakes, where he spent much of his time in the great 
Northwoods fishing, cutting wood, canning pickles and sauerkraut and enjoying the abundant 
wildlife on the shores of Virgin Lake
Jack is survived by the mother of his children: Dottie of Awatukee, Ariz.; his children including: 
Jon of Three Lakes; Triss of Clarks Mills; David of Newtonburg; Patrick of Three Lakes; and 
Stephen of Ajno Beach, Guam; his brothers including: Mike (Sarah) of Merrill; Jim of the great 
Northwoods; and Tom (Bette) of Manitowoc; his sisters including: Ann Schleis of Germantown;

WINKEL, MARY

Death in Two Rivers on Thurs. of Mrs. Mary Winkel at the age of 105. The deceased,
who could still clearly remember the movement of Napoleon's great army toward
Russia, had also lived in 3 centuries. Her funeral was Sat. from the Polish Church.
Der Nord Westen, 28 Feb. 1901
*****
Mrs. Mary Winkel, an aged Polish woman who has been supported by the 
city for many years, died last Thursday and was buried from Sacred Heart 
church on Saturday. It is claimed that Mrs. Winkel was 106 years of age, 
but this can hardly be true, as if at that age, she must have given 
birth to her son, Martin after she was 50 years old, an age beyond the 
usual limit of maternity. The woman may have been over 80 years of age, 
however. She has a son living here who is fairly well-to-do, but who has 
contributed little or nothing for her support and who did not even find 
it convenient to attend her funeral.

DEATH'S CALL WAS SUDDEN ONE
Mrs. Elizabeth Wyssman Found Dying in Her Bed and Lives But Two Hours
Mrs. Elizabeth Wyssman, a life long resident of the city died suddenly early this morning 
as a result of apoplexy which she sustained during the night, Mrs. Wyssman having been 
found unconscious in her bed at 5 o'clock, a death resulting two hours later. Mrs. Riplinger, 
the aged mother discovered her daughter's illness when she called her and physicians were 
summoned but were unable to restore the stricken patient and death followed in a short time.
Mrs. Wyssman's death is a sad shock to the family which consists of one son, Arthur J., 
the aged mother, Mrs. Mary Riplinger, a brother J.J. Riplinger, an invalid who was cared 
for by his sister. Mrs. Wyssman was in apparent health and there was no warning of the 
approach of death. She was about the house as usual on Friday and in the evening passed 
the time with her son and guests who had called and retired without complaining of fatigue 
or illness. It is believed that she suffered the stroke of apoplexy sometime after midnight.
Born in this city fifty years ago, Mrs. Wyssman had always resided here and was well and 
favorably known to a large circle of friends who held her in high regard. She was a graduate 
of the Delavan school of Deaf and after her return had established a home here at 1117 So. 
Ninth Street, where her death occurred. Arthur J. Wyssman, one of the city's youngest 
attorneys is the only surviving child and besides the mother, Mrs. Riplinger who is past 90 
years of age, the brother, H. J. Riplinger, two sisters, Mrs. August Dusold and Mrs. Nusang, 
both of this city also survive. Mrs. Wyssman was a woman whose life word was in her home 
and her chief happiness was found in the care of her mother and brother and her loss will be 
irreparable to them and to the son. The funeral will be held from the late home Monday morning.

YATES, MARY

From the Manitowoc Herald, 03 July 1858:
Mary Yates committed suicide in Kossuth, she hung herself. 
She was the wife of William Yates.
SUICIDE.-Mrs. Yates, wife of a farmer at Frances Creek, town 
Kossuth, we learn, committed suicide yesterday forenoon, by 
hanging, in her own dwelling. A messenger arrived in our 
village in the afternoon, in search of a coroner. We shall 
have the particulars to-morrow.
The Daily Tribune, Manitowoc, Wis. Monday, June 28, 1858 P. 3
********
The Particulars of the Suicide on Saturday last.
On Monday last we gave a brief account of the melancholy suicide 
of Mrs. Yates, in the town of Kossuth, which occurred on Saturday 
evening. Mrs. Y. was an English lady nearly 60 years of age, and 
much respected by her neighbors and friends, and we are informed 
that she was a member in good standing in the M.E. Church.
A desire to return to the land of her birth has been her leading 
thought for some time past, making her discontented with her 
situation here. The fear of poverty induced by the depression of 
the times, perhaps increased the feeling, and doubtless contributed 
to the causes which deranged her intellect, and led to the commission 
of the fatal act.
She arose from her bed during the night and climbing a ladder in the 
barn, fastened the rope around some poles above the threshing floor, 
and descending the ladder a short distance, fixed the noose around 
her neck, with the knot under the chin, and swung off.
As her death was the result of congestion, rather than strangulation, 
she must have suffered the most terrible agony, and if discovered a 
short time earlier might have been saved.
The circumstances of the case are most lamentable.

Injuries sustained from the kick of a horse July 4th, caused the death 
of Herbert Zeman, a School Hill farmer Friday, his demise occurring at 
the city hospital in Sheboygan where he had been taken at the time of 
the accident for care. Zeman, who was a musician, was in attendance at 
the picnic at Heer's Grove near Meeme on the Fourth and while passing a 
bronco pony which was tied in the Grove, he was kicked by the animal. 
Friends who rushed to his assistance thought the man died as he was 
rendered unconscious from the blow of the kick and it was only after 
much effort that he was revived. A conveyance was provided and Zeman was 
taken to Newton station where the C & NW train was boarded and the man 
removed to the Sheboygan hospital. Physicians, who attended Zeman, gave 
little hope for his recovery and after suffering greatly, he died Friday 
morning. Zeman was 27 years of age, was a musician and had a large 
acquaintance throughout the county and was popular with many friends. He 
was married and is survived by a widow and two children. The body was 
taken to Cleveland station Friday and was buried at School Hill, the 
home of the family.

ZENS, RUDOLPH

DEATH OF A MISSIONARY
Rudolph Zens Formerly of Two Rivers This County Meets an Untimely Death.
HE WAS WELL KNOWN IN MANITOWOC
He had Been Acting as Missionary at San Carlos, Arizona, for the Lutheran Church.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Zens living a short distance from Two Rivers and well known throughout 
the county received the sad news that their son Rudolph was killed by a fall from his horse at 
San Carlos, Arizona. Rudolph Zens was a young man of but barely 27 years of age who had 
attended the Lutheran school in the city and then entered the Watertown Seminary from which 
he graduated two years ago. At the meeting of the Lutheran conference he was appointed to 
take charge of the German Lutheran Mission at San Carlos, Arizona, which the Lutheran church 
had established among the Apache Indians. He immediately left for his field and wrote that he 
was greatly pleased with his work. A few days ago he left his mission on horseback to ride to 
a neighboring place of which he also had charge and not appearing a search was instituted 
resulting in the discovery of the dead body by the wayside, death being due to a fall from his 
horse.
Mr. Zens was greatly interested in his work and his prospects for the future were bright, but he 
was suddenly cut off in his prime without a word of warning. The body will be brought here for 
burial, the services taking place under the auspices of the Lutheran church.

ZOLKOWSKI, WLADYSTAD 

DEEP MYSTERY IN MIDNIGHT ATTACK
Wladystad Zolkowski, is Attacked in Hallway at St. Mary's Hospital
INJURY MAY BE FATAL
Knife is Used by Assailants; Believed to Be Two in Number - No Clew in 
Case Which is Mysterious
Wladystad Zolkowski, a teamster employed at St. Mary's orphan asylum and hospital 
was the victim of a mysterious assault at the hands of unknown persons at an early hour 
this morning and suffered injuries of the most serious character, which may cause his 
death. A knife was used by Zolkowski's assailants who escaped, leaving no clew by 
which they can be traced and the authorities have been unable to make progress in 
investigating the case. Zolkowski is being cared for at the hospital and unless 
complications should develop he may survive.
Zolkowski was found on the floor in a hallway of the hospital where the attack took 
place shortly after 1 o'clock this morning and before medical attention could be 
summoned he had lost a large quantity of blood and was much weakened. Zolkowski 
was leaving his room to pass through the hall when suddenly a blanket or some garment 
was thrown over his head and he was seized about the body and experienced a sharp 
pain as a knife was thrust into his body , the wound being in the groin. Zolkowski uttered 
a cray and his assailants fled, leaving him to fall to the floor where he was later found by 
a male attendant of the hospital who responded to the cry.
Two men were implicated in the assault according to a statement made by Zolkowski, 
when he regained consciousness several hours after the attack and an open door, leading 
from the hall where the assault took place explains the means of escape. Zolkowski was 
surprised and had no chance to gain a look at the men who attacked him and he is unable 
to assist the officers in a solution of the mystery. The blanket or garment used by the men 
was taken with them and there is absolutely nothing that will aid the officer.
Sheriff Lambries and District Attorney Kelley have been engaged in investigating the case 
but nothing has developed. Two theories have been offered in solution of the attack; one 
being that the assault was the work of personal enemies of the injured man and the second 
that the assailants may have been tramps who entered the hospital with a view to robbing 
and attacked Zolkowski when he appeared in the hallway, fearing that he would give the 
alarm and capture them. The first theory is not accepted by Zolkowski who declares that 
he knows of no enemy who would perpetrate an assault of the character and it is doubted 
by the officers that anyone would enter the hospital for robbery unless uninformed as to the 
character of the place, which of course is possible. the possibility exits that the attach may 
have been made by some inmate of the hopsital but his is not considered probable by the 
district attorney.
From the appearance of the wound, a sharp knife was used by the assailants and the injury 
is a cut of several inches in length and of considerable depth. Dr. J.E. Meany called to attend 
the injured man is hopeful that Zolkowski's life can be saved and unless there is a poisoning 
believe that this is probable. Zolkowski is weak from the loss of blood and the injury causes 
him much suffering but he was able to inform the authorities of all facts relative to the assault.
Zolkowski is 42 years of age, unmarried and has been employed at St. Mary's hospital for 
three years. He was engaged as a Teamster and is said to be an inoffensive man who made 
friends easily and was well liked about the institution. The case is one of the most mysterious 
that has come to the attention of local authorities for a long time and will be thoroughly 
investigated. Mr. Zolkowski is at the hospital.
