MINNA BARTHEL MRS. J. BARTELS OF CLEVELAND IS THE VICTIM Threw Carpet Over Smoking Kitchen Oil Stove Which Exploded, Ignited Clothes Mrs. John Bartels of Cleveland, a mother of three small children, was burned to death yesterday at the family home there when an oil stove which she had been using and which did not burn well, exploded, igniting her clothing. Mrs. Bartels instead of attempting to extinguish the flames which were rapidly enveloping her form, rushed to the second floor of her home where her youngest child lay asleep. She was fearful that the house would burn down and thinking more of her babe than of herself, she carried the child to safety outside the house and then screamed to neighbors for aid. When the neighbors came she had been burned beyond all hope of recovery, every stitch of her clothing having been burned from her body, nothing but her shoes remaining on her feet. Neighbors found her lying on the ground, moaning in death agonies. She died at 5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, a matter of four hours after the accident occurred. Rug on Stove Tells Tale. Mrs. Bartels, according to her husband who conducts the Manitowoc Storage Battery company on York street, had been using the kitchen oil stove which did not burn well. A rug which was found to have been thrown over the stove was mute evidence of what had occurred. Mrs. Bartels had turned the stove down as far as possible when it continued smoking. Then, to prevent the room from filling with kerosene fumes, she threw a rag carpet from the floor over the stove. The stove exploded at this juncture, the flames licking up from beneath the rug and igniting her clothing as she stood nearby. Her husband stated today that he had left the home for his business in Manitowoc and that he presumed the stove exploded shortly after his leaving or at about 2 o'clock. Sacrificed Self. Mrs. Bartels was 35 years of age. Her tragic death came as a shock to the neighborhood. Her mother love which compelled her to sacrifice herself for the life of one of her children will live long in the memory of the community and will be told and retold to children as a shining example of a great and undying love in which the greatest sacrifice was unhesitatingly made. Mrs. Bartels is survived by her husband and the three children, Violet, 12, Ruhle 8 and Elizabeth 4. It was Elizabeth whom the mother carried from the second floor where she was sleeping to safety outside the house. She is also survived by her sisters Mrs. Elizabeth Arahando, Abbotsford, Mrs. Lydia Tutloff, Curtis; Mrs. Thelma Culbertson, Greenleaf and Mrs. Alvina Siebert of Appleton, also one brother George of Abbotsford. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at Cleveland, the Rev. Springling to perform the last sad rites.

Manitowoc Daily Herald, Tuesday, May 17, 1910, P. 1 ******** Notes from Cleveland The people of the village were struck dumb with sorrow and tenor on Tuesday noon when they witnessed an awful catastrophe that brought death to one of our resident. Mrs. John Barthel lit a small kerosene heater and intended to carry it upstairs but the handle gave way and it suddenly exploded. She tried to extinquish the flames and her clothing caught fire, but not knowing it, she rushed upstairs to rescue a sleeping child. She then saw her own clothing afire and with awful screams, she rushed into the street for help as in no other way could she keep the child from her. A fire squad quickly responded and the flames were extinguished but not before her clothes had been burned from her and she received burns that proved fatal. Here condition was so pitiful that the sight brought cries and sobs from those about her. Medical attention was not immediately available, the local doctor being out, but was finally located and came as soon as possible. Relief was administered but she passed away late in the afternoon. John Barthel conducts a battery shop in Manitowoc. He was hurridly called after the accident and was with his wife when she died.

THERESA DASSLER (sent by family researcher/see contributor page) Theresa Dassler Obit With the death of Mrs. Theresa (Grandma) Dassler, 91 at 7 p.m. Sunday, the village of Centerville lost its "oldest citizen". Mrs. Dassler, a pioneer in this country, celebrated her 91st birthday last August 25. She has been ill for some time. Funeral services will be held on Wednesday at 2 p.m. at the home where she died, and burial will be made in the Saxon cemetery with the Rev. Carl Schmahl officiating. Mrs. Dassler, nee Theresa Hedrich, was born Aug 25, 1845, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Hedrich. At the time her family lived at Saxonweimer, Germany. Her parents, herself and six brothers and sisters came to America when she was seven years of age. Her youngest sister at that time was an infant of but three weeks. Trip to America After a perilous voyage of nine weeks the family landed at Philadelphia and for two years they lived in Pennsylvania, moving to Wisconsin in 1854. Their trip to Wisconsin was made by boat through the Great Lakes. Upon their arrival in Sheboygan at the little wooden pier they moved to a tract of land located about four miles west of the present site of Centerville on the Union road. At the age of 15, Mrs. Dassler went to Superior where she did housework. Her earnings supported both her and her brother who was sending his monthly earnings from work in the mines to the family. Marriage and Family When she was 20, Miss Hedrich became Mrs. Ernest Dassler. He preceeded her in death in 1913. To Mr. and Mrs. Dassler were born seven children, three of whom are living. The living are Mrs. (Alma) F.A. Jawort, Centerville; Mrs. (Anna) Gustave Bahr, Milwaukee, and Oscar of the village of Newton. Those preceeding their mother in death were: Mrs. Ida Hintz, who died December 10,1914; Herman, passing away on June 6, 1919; Louis on June 14, 1925 and Frank on August 6, 1934. In addition to raising her own family of seven children, Grandma Dassler also reared three grand-children, Victor and Edna Dassler, the latter now Mrs. Ed Karstedt of Milwaukee, and Althea Bahr, the present Mrs. Matthewson. Victor Dassler died in 1920. Descendants of Mrs. Dassler also include a host of grandchildren, nephews, nieces and thirteen great-grandchildren. Proud of Her Garden One of the points of pride in Centerville was Grandma Dassler's garden. Her philosophy of life was simple, but one that sounded a note of encouragement to those who were apt to feel that life had been rather severe with them. "Contentment," said Mrs. Dassler, "is the keynote of happiness, and one can be happy in a hovel or a palace providing the mind thinks of the pleasanter and more worthwhile things of life instead of dwelling on hardships." Regardless of your misfortune Mrs. Dassler beleived that you can always find some one who is having just a little bit harder time than you have. Until a year ago, Grandma Dassler had enjoyed the best of health, but on April 24, 1933, she had the misfortune of falling and injuring her hip and as a result was unable to walk for a long time. On Mrs. Dassler's fifty-sixth bithday, which occurred thirty-three years ago, her daughter, now Mrs. F.A. Jawort, was wed.

DARLENE G. HUHN Central High Student Killed In Accident Darlene Gladys Huhn Of Route 1, Cleveland, Is Killed When Car Hits Freight Train A 15-year-old Sheboygan Central High school student, Darlene Glayds Huhn, daughter of the Arno B. Huhns, route 1, Cleveland, was killed instantly Saturday evening when the car in which she was riding smashed into the side of a northbound Chicago & North Western freight train a few miles north of Cleveland. A classmate, Elaine Schuette, 16, also of Cleveland, and the two girls' companions, Richard and Robert Bender, 18-year-old twins, route 1, Sheboygan Falls, were critically injured although they were reported improving at Holy Family hosptial, Manitowoc, today. Dr. Theodore Teitgen, the Manitowoc county coroner, said that the serious condition of the three injured teenagers had prevented extensive questioning (all three suffered skull fractures) but authorities have pieced together a tragic story of an evening begun in fun and ended with fog-shrouded death at a country crossroad. Planning an evening of dancing at Tourist Inn, St. Wendel, the Bender boys had picked up Darlene and then Elaine, and were driving west on the country road east of the tracks with Robert apparently at the wheel. Dense fog surrounded the crossing and at about 9:14 the car crashed into the train, striking the ninth car from the end. Unaware of the tragedy, the crew of the train continued the journey to Manitowoc, where the freight train was pulled onto a siding to permit the Ashland Limited to pass. During a routine inspection of the cars, conductor F.O. Smith found a battered automobile hood and other fragments of an auto hanging on one of the freight cars. Word was sent to Sheboygan for the crew of the Ashland Limited to be on the lookout along the right-of-way between Sheboygan and Manitowoc for signs of an accident. At the crossing, the four bodies and the wrecked car were found. Conductor Tom MacAllister and his crew lifted the three injured teenagers and the dead Darlene into a baggage car. An ambulance met the train at the Manitowoc depot. Sheriff Arthur Truttschel, Manitowoc, and Dr. Teitgen investigated the accident: Dr. Teitgen said an inquest "will probably be held later on." Darlene was born in the town of Centerville Jan. 9, 1931. She was confirmed at St. John and St. Peter Evangelical Lutheran church April 2, 1944, and was graduated from Pleasant Hill school on May 26, 1944. She was member of the Lutheran Young People's guild and had served as secretary last year. Survivors include her parents, two brothers, Billy, 17, and DuWayne, 12; her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. William Huhn and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Schaetzer of Cleveland, and a great-grandmother, Mrs. Dora Schaetzer. Funeral services will be held Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. at the Stoltenberg Funeral chapel at Cleveland and at 2 o'clock at St. John and St. Peter Evangelical Lutheran church. The Rev. M.A. Braun will officiate, and burial will be at Saxon cemetery. Friends may call at the funeral chapel from 7 p.m. tonight until time of services, but the casket will not be opened. Sheboygan Press, Monday, September 16, 1946 P.1 ******* Condition Of Teen-Agers Is Reported Better The condition of three teenagers, hospitalized at Manitowoc since injured in an automobile-train crash Sept. 14 a few miles north of Cleveland, is steadily improving, according to the attending physicians. The three were injured in a crash that took the life of a 15-year-old Central High school student, Darlen Gladys Huhn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arno B. Huhn of route 1, Cleveland.

ERNEST G. JAEHNING DESPONDENT FARMER ENDS LIFE WITH GUN E. Jaehnig Jr., Aged 39, Centerville, Blows Top of Head Off In Barn This Morning Despondent over financial matters, which his wife said, had preyed on his mind for some little time, Ernst Jaehnig, Jr., aged 39, town of Centerville farmer ended his life, in the barn on his farm shortly after eight o'clock this morning by placing the muzzle of his shot gun in his mouth and pulling the trigger. The charge blew the entire top of his head off. His body was discovered by his wife, who, hearing the shot from the kitchen of the home, where she was preparing breakfast rushed to the barn to find the body of her husband on the barn floor. Dr. Reinhardt of Centerville was summoned, but an examination showed that Jaehnig's death had been almost instantaneous. He notified Coroner W.G. Kemper of this city who left for the farm, which is located a mile north and a mile west of St. Wendel to the town of Centerville. The fact that there were no powder burns on the face leads to the theory that Joehnig placed the muzzle of the gun in his mouth and there managed to reach down with one hand and pull the trigger. The gun lay a short distance from the body on the barn floor. No Inquest The coroner announced that it was a clear case of suicide and that there would be no inquest. The body was removed to the W. Ahrens funeral home at Howard's Grove, Sheboygan county. Funeral arrangements had not been completed but will probably be held Thursday or Friday. The plight of the widow of the dead man was a sad one. She is left with four small children on the homestead farm by the suicide of husband and father. Before her marriage she was Miss Helen Roehl of Centerville. Mrs. Jaehnig told the coroner when he visited the farm this morning that she had noticed that her husband had been despondent the past few weeks and seemed to be bothered with financial worries. He said nothing, however, when he arose as usual this morning and proceeded to the barn to do the morning chores. Her fears were aroused when she heard a shot from the barn and hurrying out found her husband dying with the top of his head blown off. Born On Same Farm The deceased was born and brought up on the same farm where he ended his life this morning. Besides his widow and four small children he is also survived by two brothers, Rudolph of Two Rivers, Route 1, Alfred of Sheboygan, and two sisters, Mrs. Edward Sixel of Marathon City, Wis., and Mrs. Walter Sommers of Mississippi. Ernst Jaehnig, Sr., father of the deceased, also survives. He resides on a farm in Centerville, near the one occupied by his son. Manitowoc Herald News, Manitowoc, Wis. March 22, 1931 P. 14

WILLIAM KLESSIG WM. KLESSIG, 61, IS THROWN FROM CAR AND KILLED No Inquest To Be Held After Testimony Of Witnesses Heard; No Other Persons Injured. Thrown though the top of his light touring car when it was struck almost broadside on Highway 141, shortly before 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, William Klessig, 61 year old town of Centerville resident, sustained a fractured skull when he landed in the ditch on his head and was instantly killed. The accident occurred at the intersection of Highway 141 and the Cleveland road, a short distance north of St. Wendel and only about 40 rods east of Klessig's home. No inquest will be held, county authorities determining, after securing testimony of witnesses to the accident, that Lawrence T. Paape, Milwaukee oil salesman, who drove the other car was no at fault and could not be held. Started To Cross 141 According to a report made to Sheriff Herman Carstens, and to Coroner W.G. Kemper, Klessig was driving east on the Cleveland road and after halting for the arterial of Highway 141 proceeded to cross the highway at the time he was nearly abreast of the approaching Paape car. Klessig's machine was struck near the forward end o the run board and was twisted about, being damaged only to a minor extent, but the force of the collision was sufficient to catapult him from the car to cause his death. The other machine was also only slightly damaged and proceeded to Milwaukee after the county authorities had assured Mr. Paape that he was not held responsible. Faulty Vision Blamed It was believed by Mr. and Mrs. Louis Strattman, Cleveland residents who witnessed the accident, that Klessig failed to notice the Paape car approaching from the south and started across the arterial just in time to place his machine directly in front of the approaching vehicle. The light Klessig car was equipped with winter side curtains and made it difficult for him to see cars approaching from either side. Seeks To Avoid Crash Witnesses told the county authorities that Paape apparently noticed the car starting across the highway on which he was driving and that he made every effort to avoid the collision, it being said that his brakes were locked when the cars crashed. Positions of the Paape and Klessig cars were not disturbed until after the county officials arrived at the scene. Pioneer Resident Mr. Klessig was a pioneer farm resident of Manitowoc county, spending all his life in the immediate vicinity of where the accident occurred. He would have been 62 years of age next month, having been born on November 11, 1867. On July 31, 1898, he married Miss Anna Eick of the town of Herman and she with a number of children survive. Immediate survivors are eight children, Elmer at Chilton, Roland at home, six daughters, Mrs. Elva Siekman of Sheboygan, Misses Ruth, Hilda and Edna at Milwaukee, Mrs. Leo Franswick, Milwaukee, and Miss Anna at home, on grandchild, and two brothers, Ernst in the town of Centerville, and Robert in Reading, Minnesota. Funeral services will be held Saturday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock from the St. Peter and John's Lutheran church at Cleveland, the Rev. Philip Sprengling officiating. Interment will take place at Evergreen. Manitowoc Herald News Thursday, October 17, 1929 pg. 2

CARL F. KOLB ILL FOR FIRST TIME IN LIFE OF 70 YEARS Aged Carl Kolp of Centerville, Never Before Called a Physician to His Home LARGE, REMARKABLE FAMILY Couple With Family of Fifteen Children; Had No Need of Medical Service; Children Too, Escape Ills Flesh is Heir To For the first time in an existence of more than seventy years, Carl Kolp, a well known farmer of the town of Centerville, is under the care of a physician, his condition being critical and so alarming as to cause the family much anxiety in the fear that he may not recover. Mr. Kolp, who has resided in this county for upwards of half-century, is the father of a remarkable family of fifteen children, all of whom are living within the confines of Manitowoc County and not one of them has ever known an illness since the day of birth. Mr. and Mrs. Kolp came to Manitowoc direct from their native home in Germany, at once taking up their abode on a farm in Centerville where they have resided ever since, more than fifty years. Husband and wife performed the work on the farm and ascribe their continued health to the outdoor life and regular habits of early days. The family consists of five sons and ten daughters, the oldest being about fifty years of age at the present day. The boys assisted in conducting the farm until establishing homes of their own. Although enfeebled by the burden of their 70 odd years, Mr. and Mrs. Kolp have both enjoyed robust health until very recently and to this time, Mrs. Kolp has not been obliged to have the attendance of a physician. Mr. Kolp is thought to be suffering from cancer of the stomach and in this event there is little hope of his recovery. His wife is in constant attendance at his bedside and refuses to leave the work of nursing to anyone else. Since Mr. Kolp was taken seriously ill two weeks ago, a physician has made daily visits to the home and the fact is so unusual as to cause much comment among the neighbors who had almost grown to regard the aged couple as immune from the ills of body that are wont to beset mankind in general. The subjects of this sketch are favorably known by a large number of people in this city who will extend sympathy if the malady which afflicts the husband should terminate fatally. The instance of longevity is a most remarkable one and is certainly the record of the county. Manitowoc Daily Herald - Mar. 3, 1904 ******** Death in Town Meeme on Sat. of widely known Carl Kolb from stomach cancer. The deceased was born 02 Sep. 1837 in Treitsch, bei Neustadt, Saxon-Weimar, and came to America with his parents in 1850.

Der Nord Westen, 17 Mar. 1904 ******** Jos.Wolters went to Meeme last Tuesday to attend the funeral of his uncle, Carl Kolb, an old settler of that town who died on the 12th of March and was buried on the 15th. Mr. Kolb left a wife and fifteen grown up sons and daughters, all of whom are married and were present at the funeral. This is a most unusual family record. The fifteen sons and daughters were born to him during the first 14 years of his married life and there are no twins among them.
