CYRIAK STAHL (d. 1906) Corn Shredder Victum –Cyraick(sic) Stahl a Victim of This Death Dealing Machine There is no piece of machinery used on the farm that can match the corn shredder in maiming the human family. There is hardly a newspaper that one can pick up that does not contain an item telling of some victim of this modern piece of machinery. The latest victim of a corn shredder in this vicinity is Cyraick Stahl, son of Geo. Stahl of the town of Eaton. On Saturday forenoon last while working on the farm of Lewis Rupp, in the town of Charlestown, his left hand was drawn into the machine and his index, two middle fingers and hand badly mangled. Dr. Bolton was called and amputated the fingers and dressed the hand. Mr. Stahl is a married man about thirty-five years old. A few years ago Mr. Horsh, the owner of the machine, had the misfortune to lose a portion of his hand in a corn shredder.

Early Thuesday evening Dr. Bolton was summoned to the Stahl home and found the unfortunate man in a precarious condition with lockjaw. The deceased was well known through the eastern section of this county and the news of his death will be regretted. Chilton Times, Dec. 22, 1906 ***** Notes From St. Nazianz: (Too late for last week) We regret to report that the accident which overtook Mr. Z.B. Stahl, a young farmer west of here, and an account of which appeared in the columns of the PILOT last week, terminated in the death of the young man, he dying of blood poisoning about a week later. It is sad to see a strong, young life brought to such a sudden termination, when life looms up so promising before it. Mr. Z.B. Stahl was a son of Mr. G. Stahl of Eaton and attained the age of 33 years. He was married to Miss Katharine Ruplinger, and five children blessed the union. The young man was a member of the Catholic Knights of Wisconsin.

ANTONIUS STOLL "ANTON" Death of 72 yr. old Anton Stoll last Sun., 02 June in St. Nazianz. Mr. Stoll was one of the oldest settlers of St. Nazianz and one of the founders of the colony itself. He leaves a widow and a grown son. The well-attended funeral took place Tues. in the St. Nazianz Cemetery. (Extensive additional details were printed in the edition of 20 June, including his birth date 26 Aug. 1817 in Baden, his trip from Germany with Father Oschwald on 04 June 1854, and their settlement in the St. Nazianz wilderness 24 Aug. 1854.) Der Nord Westen, 06 June 1889 ******** Anton Stoll of St. Nazians (sic) died this week and his funeral took place on Tuesday. Mr. Stoll was treasurer of the St. Nazians Association, a society organized by the celebrated Father Oschwald many years ago. After the death of Father Oschwald the main work of holding the organization together evolved upon Mr. Stoll. He was a man of remarkable executive ability and met the difficulties incident to the settlement of the affairs of the colony with rare sagacity, determination and business ability. For a time it seemed that the property of the colony would be divided up and a large share of it go to attorneys urging the rights of claimants. But Mr. Stoll fought the legal battles with rare skill. The high character of the new President and successor of Father Oschwald, Rev. Mr. Mutz, did much to win public favor and of late years the colony was on a solid basis. It is said Mr. Stoll died intestate and the affairs of the association may again be the subjection of litigation. It is much to be regretted if this is the case as these people have already suffered a great deal through the tortuous course of legal proceedings.

GEORG SUCKOWATEI *Note: The following article is about his son, Frank: Notes from St. Nazianz After being absent for thirty-five years, Frank Sukowaty returned to St. Nazianz to visit relatives and friends for a few days. He has been mourned as dead by relatives, who had received a report that he had been killed in an accident twenty-six years ago. His relatives were greatly surprised by his arrival at St. Nazianz last Tuesday. Upon being asked why he did not pay a visit in the earlier years of his absence, he said he expected to come some eight years ago and on his way he met with an accident which kept him back for a number of years. Having traveled extensively he had become careless in keeping in touch with the old folks at home and the neglect to write had grown upon him to such an extent that for years he had failed to do so and then feared that none of his brothers were living. Leaving his home he went to Duluth, Minn., and later made a trip to Europe, returning just before the world war, when he made his home in Superior, Wis. He was a brother of the deceased Andrew Sukowaty Sr. and Joseph Sukowaty, whom he longed to visit, but on his arrival he was shocked to hear that they were dead for some years. After a short visit he returned to Manitowoc, where he is now employed at the shipyards.
