ALFRED BUGS LIFELESS BODY OF A. BUGS IS FOUND TODAY Long Illness Ends in Death For Resident Who Came From Germany Five Years Ago An illness of several years' duration and which caused him to give up his occupation as a fireman about four weeks ago, was believed responsible for the death of Alfred Bugs, 56 year old resident of the city. The man's lifeless body was found in the chicken-coop of the rear of his son's home at 1322 S. Fifteenth street where the man made his home. No inquest was deemed necessary by the coroner after reading the contents of a note left by the man, the note requesting that his body not be brought into the house. Discovery of the death was made by a son, Eric, when he went to look for his father shortly before 1 o'clock this afternoon. Police and the corner were notified but nothing could be done for him as life was already extinct. At the request of the family, the body was taken to the Vogelsang funeral home at Eighth and Marshall streets. Born in Germany, Bugs came to this country about five years ago and has been a resident of this city since that time.

HENRY BURGER From Der Nord Westen, 27 June 1907: Death yesterday, following a long illness, of Henry Burger, who until a few years ago was one of the most eminent industrialists in our city… Mr. Burger was born 21 December 1839 in Germany and came to America with his parents as a 7-year old boy. The family settled in the State of New York from where the lad went toward the northwest when he was 17. He came to Wisconsin, worked for a while on a farm near Waukesha, and then went to Milwaukee to work at the old Wolf Shipyard where he built his reputation as a shipbuilder. Early in 1863 he came to Manitowoc to begin shipbuilding here. On 04 November of that same year he married Miss Mary Esslinger, daughter of then postmaster Charles Esslinger, his now surviving widow. Shipbuilding was increasing here and many steamships and sailing ships were built here every year. Mr. Burger associated himself in 1873 with Mr. Green Rand, and the firm of Rand & Burger quickly became first in local shipbuilding. The Goodrich Transit Co. had them build their steamships and they also built vessels for local and outside firms. Mr. Rand died in 1886 at which time Mr. Burger associated with his nephew, George Burger, and continued the firm under the name Burger & Burger. In 1887 this firm acquired the local dry dock which they enlarged and improved. The firm earned the reputation of being one of the best and most competent ship- building firms in the industry, but during this time wooden ships were no longer needed and the construction of ships with steel became general. Mr. Burger sold the Burger & Burger firm in 1902 to what is now the Manitowoc Dry Dock Co., and retired after 40 years of activity. A few weeks ago he caught a cold which the doctors were unable to cure and from which he grew steadily weaker leading to his death yesterday… His death is mourned by his widow and 2 adopted daughters, Mrs. A. Mueller in Milwaukee, and Miss Emma Burger here, as well as a sister Mrs. Margarethe Wolf in Seattle, Washington, and his nephews Geo. and Henry Burger, Jr., here. The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. from the funeral home on the corner of 9th and Hamilton Streets. ************ From Der Nord Westen, 04 July 1907: Mr. and Mrs. A. Moeller of Milwaukee, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Burmeister of Terre Haute, Indiana, and Arthur Esslinger and his daughter of Danville, Illinois, were here to attend the funeral of Henry Burger.

ESTHER BURNET From Der Nord Westen, 02 Feb. 1899: Death Fri. evening here of Mrs. G.W. Burnett(sic). The deceased, who suffered a stroke last Oct. and has been bedridden ever since, reached the age of 70. ******** THE END CAME AT LAST. Mrs. G.W. Burnet Passed Away Last Night After Three Months of Sufferings. LIVED HERE FIFTY YEARS. Deceased Was Born in Scottland Over Seventy-one Years ago. Was Always An Active Christian Worker. Death came at a late hour last night to Mrs. G.W. Burnet as a sweet relief from long hours of suffering. She was first taken ill last October with a stroke of paralysis and for three months has been constantly growing weaker. Several times during her illness her life was despaired of but she possessed a wonderful amount of vitality which was reluctant to relinquish its hold. She had often been heard to express the wish that she might outlive her husband but that was not to be and now he is left to mourn the loss of one of the most faithful and loving companions a man ever had. Esther Sibree was born at Dunbarion, Bartonshire, Scotland, July 26, 1827 and resided there until 1842, when her parents removed to America and located as (sic) Lodi, N.J. It was while there that she met and was married to George W. Burnet, the ceremony taking place February 5, 1846. In 1849 they removed to this county and became residents of this city in 1856, residing here continuously ever since. One of a large family of brothers and sisters she was the last surviving member. A brother and two sisters are buried here. Her brother was Hon. Henry Sibree, for years a prominent lawyer here and at one time district attorney. Her sisters were Mrs. Anderson, mother of Judge J.S. Anderson, and Mrs. McFarland. Both Mr. and Mrs. Burnet taught school in the town of Kossuth in early days, Mrs. Burnet being one of the first lady teachers to hold school in this county. Several men of prominence in the city, who themselves now have gray hairs, took their first lessons in book learning under her tutelage. She has been the mother of nine children, seven of whom are still living. The surviving members are: Mrs. Sabin of Evanston, Ill., Mrs. Sohlis and Mrs. Morse of Lincoln, Neb., Mrs. Murray of Wausau, Dr. Anna Burnet of Clarinda, Iowa, Miss Hattie Burnet, who lives at home, and Mr. John Burnet who lives at Antigo. Another son, George Burnet, was drowned in the river about five years ago. When Mrs. Burnet expired, all her cildren were present at her bedside with the exception of Mrs. Sohlis and Dr. Burnet, who will arrive this evening. Mrs. Burnet has ever been an active and earnest Christian worker. Soon after her arrival in this city, she united with the Presbyterian church by letter from the church at her former home in New Jersey and since that time has been closely identified with the work of that organization. For years she was a teacher in the Sunday school and up to her recent illness was a regular attendant upon the church services. She was one, too, whose sincerity was never doubted. Her professions were lived up to in her every day life. She fed the hungry, clothed the naked, and visited the sick in their distress. There is scarecely a family in the city among the older residents who have not at some time blessed her hand for a kind deed done in hour of affliction. Many a person will weep over her grave and cherish her in memory. Her life has been well lived, and what the harvest will be, which will result from the many good seeds she has sown during her living life, only eternity can tell. The family have the symapthies of hosts of friends in their trouble. No arrangements for the funeral have yet been made. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Manitowoc, Wis.

GILBERT BURNET From Der Nord Westen, 10 Jan. 1901: A terrible accident occurred yesterday. Gilbert B. Burnett, bookkeeper in the office of Messrs. Burger & Burger, Shipbuilders, worked yesterday and left the office at 5 p.m. to go home. As was his custom he began crossing the train trestle of the Wisconsin & Central Railroad. As he was crossing he saw that a freight engine was backing up toward him so he ran back to the end of the trestle but tripped and fell. The train went over both ankles totally severing both his feet. As soon as the engine could be stopped he was taken to the ship firm's office where an ambulance was summoned by telephone and he was rushed to the hospital. The doctors could do nothing for the 78-yr. old man except try to ease his pain. Mr. Burnett had worked as bookkeeper for Burger & Burger for the past 20 yrs., had worked earlier for Mr. G. Rand in the same capacity, and before that worked for many years as County Clerk. ******** WHEELS CRUSH LIMBS Gilbert W. Burnet The Victim of Accident In Wisconsin Central Yards. While Crossing Bridge On His Way Home From Work – Amputation of Both Feet Necessary – In Precarious Condition –78 Years Old. Never was there a more unpitying decree of Fate made manifest than the case of Gilbert W. Burnet, who, as the result of an accident, now lies at his home, New York Avenue and Tenth street, in a condition that promises little of life. The accident happened Wednesday evening and the circumstances are a nature to arouse the deep sympathy of all. Mr. Burnet, who was employed as a bookkeeper in the office of Burger & Burger, had completed his day’s work and at 5:20 o’clock started home. He was crossing the bridge in the yards of Wisconsin Central and owing to the darkness and the strong wind blowing, failed to hear the approach of the switching train, until it was almost upon him, and then in attempting to step aside, his foot became caught, and he was thrown across the track, the wheels of one car passing over his limbs below the knee, crushing both feet to a shapeless mass. The train was made up of fourteen cars and was backing west to the bridge in order to make a siding. Thus it was that only one car reached the fallen man, the switch being situated so that the distance made it necessary for only a few cars to run onto the bridge. Foreman Coyne, of the switching crew, who was on the foreward (sic) car, saw a black object on the track, but was unable to signal a stop in time to prevent the accident. The injured man was picked up and conveyed to the Burger office and medical assistance summoned. Dr. Pritchard arrived in a very short time. The victim of the accident, was conscious and was able to give the details of the unfortunate happening. The ambulance was called for and upon his own request the unfortunate man was removed to his home, in place of being taken to the hospital, as was at first suggested. Upon examination of the injuries the amputation of both limbs was deemed necessary and the operation was performed late in the evening both limbs being amputated just above the ankles. Mr. Burnet demonstrated a heroic courage throughout the ordeal, from the time of the accident until the operation, which was very successful. The patient passed a good night. While his condition today is more favorable than was expected, there seems but small chance for his recovery and relatives abroad have been summoned, all the children having arrived today except one daughter. Mr. Burnet is an old resident of the city and had been employed at the Burger office for upwards of twenty years. He is the father of several grown up children, one of whom, Miss Hattie, is at home. The advanced age of Mr. Burnet makes the accident more serious and adds sadness to the case. To have lived for seventy-eight years, meeting the vicissitudes of an earthly career successfully, and then to fall a victim to accident carrying with it an agony of suffering, with death the probable end, sees the veriest irony of fate. Manitowoc Herald Times, Jan. 10, 1901 ******** Reports late this afternoon as to condition of Mr. Burnet are most favorable to his recovery, providing no complications arise. He is resting easy and appears in the best of spirits. His vitality is remarkable in a man of his age and the hope is entertained that he will survive. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Friday, January 11, 1901, p. 1 ********* The condition of Gilbert W. Burnet who was the victim of an accident Wednesday evening, is but slightly changed today. The patient appears to suffer more pain, but there is no new complications and friends are much encouraged to the brief that he will recover. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Friday, January 11, 1901 ********* Death Releases Him Gilbert W. Burnet, Victim of Accident a Week ago, Dies From His Injuries. THE END CAME EARLY TODAY Has Been Great Suffering Since Amputation of Limbs and Advanced Age Could Not Cope With Ill Effects - A Sad Case. Death, which came to Gilbert W. Burnet at 5:30 o'clock this morning brought release from bondage of pain that had held him in the agony of great suffering for a week past, and was a welcome deliverance. The Demise occurred at the home, corner Tenth and New York avenue, and was due to the injuries sustained by Mr. Burnet in an accident which befell him Wednesday, January 9, being run down by a switching train while he was crossing the bridge in the local yards. From the time of the accident little hope has been entertained that the victim could recover from the ill effects of the amputation of both feet, which was made necessary by the injuries sustained. Although the operation performed as very successful and the patient bore up with a heroic courage, it was apparent to friends that he was failing, and his advanced age made the end but a question of few days. When the announcement of the death of Mr. Burnet was made to friends they were at once filled with sorrow and quiet joy; sorrow because a loved friend, a kindly generous soul had been called away with joy because the Angel of Death had, with tender kindness relieved a deep sufferer from the agony of a living death. The great suffering which the patient bore in the last days much have made the presence of death welcome. The life of Mr. Burnet was well rounded out when Fate decreed the end of his career. Born in Scotland in 1822, he was at the time of his demise 79 years of age. He had been a resident of Manitowoc since 1849, more than half a century, and was well known to nearly every resident of the city. Sixty years of his life had been spent in America, he having located at Lodi (?), New Jersey in 1840 and continued his residence there until removing here. In 1845 he was married and up to within a few years enjoyed the companionship of his wife. She having died only about five years ago, since which time a daughter, Miss Hattie, has kept house for her father. For more than twenty years Mr. Burnet was employed as a bookkeeper for Burger & Burger and was in their employ at the time of the accident which caused his death. Decedent was a man of high character, loved and respected by all with whom he came in contact. He was industrious and self reliant and in the business relations of life sustained a reputation of exactness and honesty. In his home he was ever a kind indulgent father and to his friends always true. "To live in hearts we leave behind, is not to die," and though wrapped in his shroud, Gilbert Burnet will continue to lie in the bosoms and affections of the many who knew him. Seven children, six daughters and one son survive to mourn the death. They are Mrs. Margaret Sabin, Evanston, Ill., Mrs. Sarah Sohus, Mrs. Ester Morse, Lincoln, Neb., Mrs. Agnes Murray, Wausau, Wis, Miss Ann Burnet, Claridan, Ia., Miss Hattie of this city, and John, of Antigo. Funeral arrangements have not been made. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Wednesday, January 16, 1901, p. 1 ********* From Der Nord Westen, 17 Jan. 1901: Yesterday morning death overtook Gilbert W. Burnett, whose terrible crippling accident we reported on last week. Mr. Burnett survived the amputation of his two feet quite well, but because of his advanced age the prognosis was not good. Mr. Burnett was born in Scotland in 1822, came to America in 1840, and in 1849 moved to Manitowoc where he has lived ever since. He is survived by 7 grown children - 6 daughters and a son.

HERMAN O. BUTZ HERMAN O. BUTZ, WORLD WAR VET, PASSES AWAY Manitowoc Boy Who Also Served Overseas in World War Dies At Waukesha Hospital Herman O. Butz, 46, a veteran of the World War and who also served with Company H on the Mexican border passed away last night at the Resthaven sanitarium, Waukesha, Wis., where he has been a patient for the past two months. His condition was not considered critical until a few days ago and his passing was a shock to his family and friends here. The remains will arrive here this evening and will be taken to the Pfeffer parlors. Funeral services will be held on Saturday morning at nine o'clock from the St. Boniface church. The services will be attended by delegations from the Legion, and the Foresters, Knights of Columbus, and Eagles, of which Mr. Butz was a member. Went South With Co. H Born in Manitowoc June 18, 1883, Mr. Butz always made this his home. He served in Company H and went south to the Mexican border when the local company was summoned with the rest of the units of the Wisconsin National guard for service there. Later when the United States entered the world war, he enlisted and served with the local company overseas in France, throughout that struggle along the western front. These two services for his country are believed to have impaired his health. On returning here after the war Mr. Butz entered the employ of the Aluminum Goods Co., where he continued until sickness forced him to remain at home. He was married June 30, 1925 to Miss Marie Ryan who survives him together with his mother, Mrs. E. Butz, three brothers, Hugo of Grand Rapids, Mich., Edward and Reinholt of this city and two sisters, Mrs. Joseph Prchal of Cicero, Ill., and Mrs. Warren Gamble of this city.

HUGO F. BUTZ Three Local Men Killed as Auto Crashes Freight Train Fourth Is Seriously Injured In Accident At Bellevue, Brown County Three Manitowoc men lost their lives and a fourth was seriously injured early this morning in an automobile-freight collision at Bellevue, Brown county, as they were returning from a district meeting of the Eagles at Green Bay. Hugo Butz, 54, of 1212 South 16th street, prominent in Eagles activities, employe of the city street department. John Daron, 53, of 1601 Washington street, for 27 years the inner guard of the Eagles aerie here, employed at the Kingsbury Breweries company. Walter J. Novak, 50, of 1013 South 23rd street, employe of the Aluminum Goods Manufacturing company. Injured: Henry Vogt, 32, of 1912 South 14th street, owner of the car, who suffered a fractured leg and possible internal injuries. Butz and Novak were almost instantly killed. Daron died shortly after 9 a.m. today in a Green Bay hospital. Vogt is expected to live, physicians said. Butz, Vogt and Daron were members of the Eagles degree team which took part last night in a district meeting held in Green Bay in honor of John A. Abel, national president of the Eagles. William Kustka, 1112 Manila street, also a member of the degree team, was to drive to the meeting with Vogt but at the last moment made other arrangements and so escaped the accident. At 1:50 A.M. The crash occurred at the railroad crossing in Bellevue on Highway 141 at 1:50 this morning when the car smashed into the front end of a Chicago and North Western freight engine as the train was pulling from a siding onto the main track on its way to Green Bay. Engineer Joe Petroski, pilot of the freight train, said he saw the automobile approaching the crossing when it was a block away. He set his whistle and emergency brakes, he said, and the train stopped almost as the crash occurred. The car crashed into the front end of the locomotive, bending the cow-catcher. The front of the automobile was telescoped, and the motor completely crushed and pushed into the front seat. The freight train, No. 169, had been waiting on the siding for No. 212. The freight was late on its northen run because it was held up in Manitowoc waiting for a ferry. As the machine hit the train Vogt, who apparently was driving, was thrown out the left side of the car and under the train. Wheels of the train, however, did not pass over him. Daron was thrown out on the pavement on the right side of the car. Inquest Planned Butz and Novak were in the back seat when authorities arrived. Both were apparently living when they were taken from the car but were pronounced dead upon entry to a Green Bay hospital. Daron, who suffered critical head and internal injuries, was given little chance to live when doctors examined him and died several hours later. "The car appeared to pick up speed between the point where I first saw it, coming around a curve, and the railroad crossing." Engineer Petroski told authorities. "It hit the right front corner of the locomotive." The car was against the train, facing south, as the freight came to a stop. Coroner Orlan Miller of Brown county, said he was making plans for an inquest into the cause of the three deaths. The tragedy early today is not to interfere with the Eagles meeting at the clubrooms tonight, according to President William Kustka. The speaker will be John A. Abel of Marion, Ohio, grand worthy president of the order, who spoke last night at Green Bay. The meeting will be confined, however, to the speaking program.
