THOMAS F. HEALY HERO OF THE EASTLAND BOAT DISASTER DEAD Thomas Healy Passes Away After Several Months Illness Thomas Francis Healy, one of the heroes of the Eastland disaster, passed away at the Holy Family hospital early this morning after an illness extending through the summer. Mr. Healy was removed to the hospital in June and his condition grew gradually worse, death being caused by complications. Mr. Healy was a veteran sailor and was known among marine men here. Before becoming ill, he was steward on the steamer Florida and was in charge of the boat when it was in port here last spring. Credited with saving the lives of many people when the Eastland turned over in Chicago in 1915, Mr. Healy showed remarkable bravery at that time of one of the greatest disasters, hundreds of persons having been drowned. Was Steward at Time The boat on which he was steward at the time was near the scene of the disaster and not only did he turn it into a hospital ship, but he dove into the water repeatedly saving the lives of many. Mr. Healy who had been a steward on various boats of the Goodrich line during his long years of service with that company, was steward on the Goodrich boat Virginia when it was put into service after being built at Cleveland in 1891. Born at Houghton, Ont., July 5, 1856, Mr. Healy later lived at Sarnia Ont., and at the age of 15, began sailing, first sailing on a Lake Superior boat. Chicago has been his home port for the last forty years. Surviving Family His wife, who was Miss Viola Winters, and three children, all passed away within a period of five years. He leaves three sisters, Mrs. C. Cochlan of Chicago, Mrs. S. Cone of Dover, Ohio and Mrs. Ella Hosford of Lincoln, Neb. Other relatives are two nieces, Miss Florence Cochlan of Chicago and Miss Blanche Irene Shaney of Lincoln, Neb., and two nephews, Arthur and Frank Cone. The body is at Pfeffer's undertaking parlors and it will be there until Friday morning when it will lie in state in the vestibule of St. Boniface church from 8:30 until 9 o'clock. The body will be laid to rest at Evergreen. Manitowoc Herald News, Manitowoc, Wis. Wednesday, September 12, 1923 P. 2 ******* SHIPMATES ARE PALLBEARERS AT HEALY FUNERAL It was a small group of former shipmates who paid honor to Thomas Healy's memory by being pallbearers at his funeral this morning. Mr. Healy was with the Goodrich comapny as steward for a number of years and his shipmates, faithful to the end, were with him today for the last time. Before being taken ill early last summer Mr. Healy was steward on the Florida and in recognition of his faithful services, William M. Cochrane, proprietor of the Florida, came up from Chicago to be one of the pallbearers. The other pallbearers were J.P. Breuer, chief engineer on the Carolina; Ira Smith, painting contractor for the Goodrich line; W.E. Elliot, retired chief engineer of the company; Joseph Peroutka, chief engineer of the company, and Fred Heldeman, engineer on the Florida. Manitowoc Herald News, Manitowoc, Wis.

EMIL HEIDEMANN NEPHEW WITH HIM ESCAPES SERIOUS HURTS Heidemann Never Regains His Consciousness After Highway Accident Saturday A basal skull fracture received shortly before 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon when he was thrown from his automobile following its colliding with a post on Rabenhorst's hill, one-fourth mile north of Manitowoc Rapids on Highway 42, resulted in the death of Emil J. Heidemann, 48, 1206 South Seventeenth street Sunday morning. Heidemann never regained consciousness after the accident in which he and his nephew, Charles Carle, 1313 Green street, figured. Carle received bruises and torn biceps on his left arm. Only meager details can be learned regarding the accident, no persons at the scene or early arrivals being able to report definitely what happened. Two Thrown From Car Heidemann and Carle were en route to their homes in this city after attending the funeral of Charles Buss, a cousin of Heidemann's. They had taken the north road and were proceeding south on 42, when, near the top of the winding hill, the Heidemann machine, a light touring car, skidded across the road, it is presumed, and crashed into several road markers and other signs before overturning. Frank Gappa and Theodore ???zmski, arriving at the scene shortly afterward, picked up the two unconscious men and rushed them to the hospital but nothing could be done for Heidemann. Gappa stated this morning that the men were lying in the road, about twenty-five feet north of where their car had come to a halt, the machine still being partly on the road. Carle was lying upon his face and Heidmann, bleeding profusely from the fractured skull and a deep fore head gash, was on his back. Carle left the hospital shortly after he was brought to the institution but is still under the care of a physician. Tells of Fleeing Machine While many stories weere circulated about the city yesterday and today, verification could not be secured and it is believed that the story of the machine skidding off the roadway is the correct version of the affair. Gappa said this morning that as he brought his machine to a halt, a machine approached from the south and failed to stop. According to Gappa this machine must have been at the scene of the accident before he arrived and lends some credence to the report that the machine may have been struck. Carle Knows No Details Charles Carle, the nephew and companion of Heidemann, today was unable to add any details to the version of the accident. He said he and Heidemann were talking as they were riding along and the next thing he knew, he felt a bump but could not state if that came from another car or when their machine crashed into a post at the side of the road. He was unconscious for about ten minutes following the crash. District Attorney Meyer stated today that all facts in the case had not been submitted to him and he was not prepared to state whether an inquest was to be held. Life-Long Resident Here. Funeral sevices for Mr. Heidemann will be held from the Wattawa chapel Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock with Rev. Menke officiating. Burial will take place at Evergreen. He was a life-long resident of Manitowoc, being born here on January 31, 1880. For a number of years he followed the moulder trade and was an employe of the Manitowoc Foundry company when he died. Fifteen years ago he married Mrs. Heidemann, nee Anna Kawalle, who with two daughters, Mrs. Orson Branton of Madison, Miss Ethel at home; one son, William, at home; two stepsons, LeRoy and Allan Clark, this city; two brothers, Fred of this city and August of Galvestin, Texas, and four sisters, Mrs. Ida Leverenz, Milwaukee, Mrs. John Brandle, Moniea, Wisconsin, Mrs. Joseph Lemberger, Antigo, and Mrs. William Carle, Manitowoc, survive him.

Conrad Helgeson Has Eight Battle Stars Conrad Helgeson, whose military service took him to eight different countries, still contends that the United States, Wisconsin, and home are best of all. He has arrived home from overseas, receiving his honorable discharge at Fort Sheridan on September 22nd. He has mentioned the primitive condition of the peoples of many of these countries with the oxen still used in much farm work. Conrad came through with eight battle stars, and eight campaigns during those thirty two months overseas without being wounded once. However, he did suffer four attacks of malaria. It was on June 24, 1942, that he entered service with his training beginning at Fort Bragg, Noth Carolina. He was later sent to Fort Meade, Maryland. On February 7, 1943, he left for overseas, going then to North Africa. He was at Casablanca, the Tunisian Campaign, participated in the Sicilian landing, was at Salerno, lower Italy, across the Volturno River up to the Casino front. They then moved back to prepare for the Anzio landing. He was at the Anzio Beachhead for four months and while there saw Russell Glasow, the only Valders or county soldier he met in his entire army service. While in this area he went to Rome and there visited the Vatican and saw the Pope. His group was then moved back to lower Italy to prepare for the invasion of southern France. They fought through southern France up to Strasbourg on the Rhine. They were then pulled down to the Colmar pocket, and here were cited with the Croix de Guerre by the Fench government and the U.S. Presidential citation. They then went into the Siegfried line, went through to Augsburg, Munich, Salsburg, Austria and were there when the war ended. Conrad enjoyed much going through Hitler’s noted hideaway, Berchesgarten. He was then with the troops of occupation in Austria during May, June and July. Transfer then came to Melsungen, Germany, where the troops remained for several weeks. Having enough points at this time he was transferred to the 69th homeward bound division.They left Le Havre, France, on September 7th and with a little stormy weather docked in New York seven days later. The usual time for the trip is six days. Conrad was in communications - radio - and then drove for the general of his artillary divison. When this general was transferred to the states he drove for the colonel of the division artillary. The strong ties that hold and bind together a group of fighting men was evidenced when Conrad suffered his first attack of malaria. This was at the time of the Sicilian campaign, and while he was still in the hospital, he learned his division (the noted 3rd) was to go into action - so Conrad secured his hospital release and rejoined his group. Twice when malaria attacks recurred he took treatment in his own unit in order to stay with his group. Conrad has the Good Conduct Medal, Distinguished Unit Badge, Croix do Guerre, Theatre ribbons, Bronze Service Arrowhead, 5 overseas bars, 1 Service stripe and the Driver and Mechanic’s Badge. He has eight battle stars, showing participation in the Tunisian campaign, Sicilain campaign, Naples Foggia; Rome-Arno; Southern France; Colmar; Rhineland and Central Europe. The engagement of Miss Doris Vetting to this young Valders soldier was announced by Miss Vetting’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Vetting on April 5, 1942, and now with Conrad’s return the couple is planning their marriage for October 24th.
