Platt, had mysteriously disappeared from his bed room during one of his delirious attacks and was nowhere to be found.

Dr. Balcom was one of the best educated and most successful physicians of our City, his loss is severely felt and will be long remembered by those whom he has benefited professionally, but especially by his personal friends who had the best opportunity to appreciate his character.

REED TAFT BAYNE "The last daily newspaper started here was the New Times, with Arthur Trippler as editor. The name was changed to the Manitowoc Evening Times in 1931 when the newspaper was purchased by the Morgan Murphy Enterprises of Superior, and R.T. Bayne came from superior to be editor and publisher. A year later Bayne and his associates bought out the half interest of Edward Mackay in the Herald-News. This resulted in the consolidation of the two daily newspapers into the Manitowoc Herald-Times. Bayne and Ohde, who owned the other half of the Herald-News, became co-publishers of the Herald-Times. In 1935, Bayne and his associates bought controlling interest in the Two Rivers Reporter from Mark Byers. After the death of Ohde in 1947, Bayne became sole publisher and vice president of Manitowoc Newspapers Inc. and the Two Rivers Reporter Inc. Bayne died in 1954 and Barenbaum suceeded him as general manager." and: "The newspaper's plant at 902 Franklin St. was built in 1918. During the years of Bayne's and Barenbaum's management it was expanded in 1949 and again in 1966." from 2006 HTR Business Review
