VIOLA MEUNIER Car Rains Into Train; Mother Of Nine Killed MANITOWOC—Mrs. Fred Meunier of rural Manitowoc, 42-year old mother of nine children, was killed instantly Monday afternoon when the car she was driving crashed into the side of a speeding North Western Road passenger train about four miles north of here. One of her children, a nine year- old daughter, Jean, riding with her, was in critical condition at Manitowoc Memorial Hospital today with internal injuries, a broken leg and numerous cuts. According to Manitowoc County traffic police, Mrs. Meunier was eastbound on County Trunk D, Manitowoc of U.S. 141, ,en route to to call for one of her sons at a foundry where he is employed. Normally her husband, employed in the same plant, drove to and from work with the son. However, the husband was ill with the flu, and Mrs., Meunier was making the trip Monday. The family lived only a quarter-mile west of the railroad crossing. Officers said the eastbound auto struck the first coach behind the twin-diesel locomotive as the northbound train (which had left Sheboygan at 2:16 p.m.) was traveling about 70 miles an hour. Visibility was reportedly poor and the blacktop road slippery at the time due to the heavy, wet snow that was falling. Red wig-wag signals at the crossing were reportedly working. The Meunier car went part way under the train coach and was dragged some 60 feet along the right-of-way before being thrown clear. Both the mother and daughter were hurled from the tangled wreckage. The impact also did extensive damage to the undercarriage of the coach, forcing the train crew to switch the car to the rear of the line of seven cars at Francis Creek and then proceed slowly to Green Bay. The train was delayed for about an hour. Mrs. Meunier, the former Viola Benoit, was a native of Mountain, Wis. The family moved to the Manitowoc area from Green Bay in 1940. Her surviving children include four sons and five daughters. The requiem Mass will be at 10 a.m. Thursday at St. Anne's Catholic Church in Francis Creek, with burial in Knollwood Memorial Gardens north of Manitowoc. The body is at the Urbanek and Schlei Funeral Home in Manitowoc. SHEBOYGAN PRESS (SHEBOYGAN, WISCONSIN) 03/12/1963

DOROTHY M. MILLER Dorothy M. Miller, 92, of 3215 Mishicot Road, Two Rivers, passed away on Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2014 at Aurora Medical Center, Two Rivers. Dorothy was born on February 15, 1922 in Manitowoc, WI. She was the second youngest child of the late Genevieve (Baetke) and George Eisenschink. Through her sister, she met Lloyd Miller, who was related to Margaret's future husband, Ray, out on the farm. They started dating and were married on Valentine's Day in 1942 at St. Paul's Catholic Church in Manitowoc. They lived happily on a farm for a short period of time until Lloyd was called to serve in the United States Army in Germany during World War II. While he was overseas, Dorothy took a full time job as a cook at Memorial Hospital, having worked previously at Holy Family Hospital as a cook's aide and moved back in with her parents in their south side Manitowoc home. When Lloyd had finished his tour in Germany, he returned to Manitowoc to work on the Chicago Northwestern Railroad, while Dorothy took a part-time job at Club Bil-Mar as a cook. They settled into a comfortable life on Jessie Street on the shores of Lake Michigan. As their children grew and became respectable citizens of the area, Dorothy was able to continue pursuing hobbies that gave her a sense of pride, knitting, crocheting, embroidery, going out dancing and cooking. Her mother died in the winter of 1979, following her father's death in 1947. She was also preceded in death by four sisters, one brother and a daughter-in-law, Clara. The love of her life, Lloyd, died on June 11, 1982. Though it closed the door to an important chapter in her life, it also opened the door to what she is best known for today, her volunteer work. Dorothy's countless hours clocked to the Two Rivers Senior Center was something she always underplayed as she helped numerous programs to improve the lives of her fellow peers. She used her craft skills to make small trinkets that would go on the trays of senior citizens who received meals through the Meals on Wheels program, as well as homemade greeting cards to bright the day of many. She was involved in many fund raising efforts through the Senior Center that brought money not only to the center but to other worthy causes in the community. She loved playing bingo, bean bags and darts as well as the salt and pepper shakers in the kitchen band. But what she loved to do most was babysitting her grandchildren and impart on them her values and love. Illness, as of recent, had made her slow her usually rapid pace of activities, but she continued to live a full, happy life. She is survived by her three daughters, Janet (Charles) Susinski, Jackson, New Jersey, Shirley (Tom) Schepper, Two Rivers and Marlene Becker, Manitowoc; two sons, Leon (Tracey) Two Rivers and Gary, Two Rivers. She is further survived by 12 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren and three great great grandchildren.

Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found that peace at close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Oh yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life’s been full, I’ve savored much, Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch, Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and share with me, God wanted me now, HE SET ME FREE. Herald Times Reporter April 2003

SAM MOTT MISHICOT BOY, RELEASED FROM GERMAN HOSPITAL AND PRISON CAMP, WRITES HE IS ON WAY HOME Priv. Samuel Mott, Wounded and Taken Prisoner Says He Received Good Treatment – Say German People Starving Now Wounded and taken prisoner by the Germans months ago, since which time the only news received from him was a card October 23rd, Private Samuel Mott, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Mott, of Mishicott, has been released and is on his way home. This is the happy tidings that came in a letter received from Private Mott this week while he was enroute to London. Mott was wounded in action and when he regained his senses found himself a prisoner in German hands and a patient in a German base hospital. “I do not remember how I got there but I must say I was treated fine and have not a word to say against the German care for wounded. I have seen some boys, who were prisoners, working behind the lines, who had become mere skeletons and many of them dying every day.” Says Mott in his letter. “Germany has no food and the people are starving and will do anything for you in exchange for something to eat” declares the writer. Mott was released from the German prison camp about December 26th and was taken to Lieth, Scotland and from there was ordered to Camp Ripon, England from which place he expected to go to London to sail for home. In his letter Mott says he spent Christmas day on the North Sea and at Denmark received a Christmas package containing a suit of underwear, a basket of dates, a box of raisins, six cigars, a magazine, bottle of wine, cigarettes, pipe and tobacco and a flag. The box came from the Red Cross and Mott says that the organization was truly a Godsend to the boys overseas. Mott has seen much of the world since he was inducted in the service having been in France, Belgium, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Scotland and England. Mott says that he missed mail from home, not having received a letter in months but he is happy in the anticipation that he will soon be back to the old folks and to his friends.

He taught in Spring Green, Sparta and finally Wauwatosa, where he taught and coached for 37 years, making many friends of fellow teachers and students. He refereed basketball and football at the high school and college level. Doc was a huge sports enthusiast and would often be listening to the TV for one game and reading a sports item in the paper at the same time. He had a sense of humor and was great in front of an audience, with his quick and eloquence with words. It was always an honor for him to be asked to "MC" a reunion dinner or retirement party. Doc kept himself busy even into retirement when he moved to his cottage in Birchwood, making it his second home with his wife Gloria and an assortment of dogs. Everyone who knew him was keenly aware of how much he adored animals and had such a loving way with them. Doc's kindness, intelligence, integrity and generosity are legacies that he has left for his family, as well as a strong sense of fairness and competition. He put his heart into everything he did, so focused that he would work through a meal or not stopping for a break. He spent his summers off painting barns or teaching driver's education. Every community that he lived in has been touched by his great smile and friendliness. He was devoted to his first wife, Getchie, and his second wife, Gloria, who stood by his side until the very end. Gloria was irreplaceable in her efforts to tend and care for him through it all. Most of all, Doc has been an inspiration to follow your heart and do the best that you can do, but also to find what you enjoy in life and live it to the fullest. Doc first married Ruth Goedjen on June 3, 1950, in Two Rivers. Ruth died on Dec. 23, 1977. Years after Ruth died, Doc met and later on married Gloria Rogers on Aug. 18, 1990 at the First Lutheran Church in Hayward. Doc is survived by his wife: Gloria Mueller; two sons: Fred Mueller, The Rock, Ga.; and Kurt Mueller, Colorado Springs, Colo.; one daughter: Laura Mueller, New London; seven grandchildren; one sister: Violet (Henry) Shedivy, Two Rivers; and several nieces and nephews.
