FRANZ SCHAD and MAGGIE SCHAD (ANNA MARGARET) nee LINCK From the Two Rivers Chronicle, Tuesday, Mar. 27. 1900 front page: MURDER AND SUICIDE A terrible tragedy was enacted on a farm near the village of St. Nazianz, this county, during Monday night of last week. Frank Schad, a prosperous young farmer, murdered his wife, after a terrible struggle, and then cut his own throat. That his wife made a desperate struggle for her life was evident from the confusion and disarrangement of things in the barn where her body was found. In the morning after the tragedy the little step-son of Schad on arising discovered in a room adjoining his own sleeping room the lifeless body of his step-father lying on the floor in a pool of blood, but his mother was no where in the house and he went to the barn in search of her. Here he found her gashed and bloody remains. After killing his wife Schad cut his own throat and then went to the house, leaving a trail of blood from the barn to the house. The terrible deed is said to be due to the insanity brought on by religious troubles. His wife had been divorced from a former husband and he was denied the sacraments of his church in consequence of his marrying such a woman. This troubled him so that his mind was upset. ********* From the Two Rivers Chronicle, Tuesday, Mar. 27, 1900, inside page: SCHAD WAS INSANE Cut His Wife's Throat While in a Frenzy and Then Committed Suicide. Manitowoc, Wis., March 21, [Special.] The verdict of the jury as rendered late yesterday afternoon in the terrible Schad tragedy was homicide and suicide committed by Frank Schad, a the result of temporary insanity. The terrible deed took place in the neighborhood of 12 o'clock Monday night. Mrs. Schad's first husband, Albert Hacker of Cato, was still living, and this fact prevented the young couple from living peaceably together any longer. It was therefore agreed between husband and wife to separate, and in accordance with this understanding Schad deeded all his property to his wife Monday afternoon. A son of Mrs. Schad by her first husband, who was staying with them, retired for the evening. Shad's father, who lives close by, came over for a brief visit, and found things apparently all right. Late that night he saw someone moving about with a lantern around Schad's house - it was Schad carrying out his horrible work. In the morning when the stepson arose he noticed blood-stains on the floor, and on entering Schad's bedroom the father found him dead, his throat cut from ear to ear. The boy, who is only 10 years old, hastened to his grandparents and gave the alarm. they soon found Mrs. Schad lying in an open shed some distance from the house with a horrible open gash cut from ear to ear, almost severing the head from the body. She was terrible hacked up and lay in a pool of her own blood. After his struggle with his wife, her death resulting, Schad moved toward the house and from all indications when about twenty rods away from his wife, at a spot where were found a large jack-knife and a razor, smeared with blood, attempted to take his own life by cutting his throat with the razor. From there the blood spots could be plainly traced to his bed chamber, he undoubtedly having dragged himself to the house, where he died. The evidence taken before the jury showed that about four years ago Schad showed signs of insanity and wandered about in an almost naked condition. Fears as to his sanity were again espressed but recently. ********* From St. Nazianz researcher: Franz (May 20, 1868-March 19, 1900 husband of Margaret [Maggie] nee Linck [married Aug. 21, 1897 in civil service] son of Franz Schad and Maria Dietrich -farmer -born Town of Schleswig -murdered his wife Maggie and then committed suicide - "suicide -died instantly") *********** Maggie Schad (Anna Margaret) nee Linck Wife of Franz [married Aug. 21, 1897 in civil service] -daughter of Franz Anton Linck and Maria Magdeline Schnell -murdered by her husband Franz -"murder -instant death" -in church burial records, Maggie Schad is wrongly listed as Anna M.
