JOHN, WILLIAM, JOSEPH JOHNSON JOHN AND ANNA JOHNSON'S CHILDREN: THREE BROTHERS DROWN, While Attempting to Cross the River on the Ice. Saturday afternoon three sons of John Johnson, a laborer at the shipyards, went into the country in quest of wintergreen. About 4 o'clock, having roamed the woods adjoining the cemetery, they determined to cross the river at a point a little above the second railroad bridge. The oldest, named Willie, about fourteen years of age, was ahead of his brothers some distance, and sliding on the ice in usual boyish fashion. When about halfway across, the ice suddenly gave way beneath him. He clung to the ice for dear life, and waited for his younger brothers, who had started towards him as soon as they saw him disappear. They tried their best to save their elder brother, but they were too weak, John being but ten years old and Joseph only eight. After several vain endeavors to save their brother, their footing suddenly gave way, and they too went into the river, and immediately sank to the bottom. A farmer passing on the road had witnessed the accident, and hurried down to save, if possible. But he was too late. Poor Willie could hold out no longer, and he soon followed his little brothers to the bottom. A little playmate of theirs, who had been with them in the woods, had seen the accident from the distance and immediately hurried to the city to report the sad news. Many of our citizens at once hastened to the scene with axes and poles. The ice was cleared away and a diligent search instituted. The body of Willie, the oldest, was soon found at a distance of about thirty feet from where he had fallen in. It was found by Frank Yanda. About 11 o'clock Saturday night a sailor named Knudson found the body of Johnnie; it was still further down the river than Willie's. Search was kept up until late Saturday night and renewed with the same diligence on Sunday and Monday, but no traces could be found of the body of Joseph, the youngest. As before stated, he was but eight years old, and small for a boy of that age; hence it was thought the current had carried him far down the river. This heart-rending accident is one of the saddest that ever happened in our city. To have three little laughing lads suddenly find a watery grave is indeed terrible to contemplate, and Mr. Johnson can assured of the sincere sympathy of the entire community. The funeral takes place this afternoon at two o'clock. December 13, 1881 ********* Found. Last Thursday afternoon, the body of Joseph Johnson, the youngest of the three brothers whose sad drowning we chronicled last week, was found by the bereaved father. It was found about a mile from the place where he had fallen in. Diligent search was made ever since the accident occurred and success was often despaired of, but the brave men engaged in the search never gave up.

JULIUS JOHNSON (d. 1917) JULIUS JOHNSON, PIONEER SETTLER OF CITY, PASSES AWAY AT HOLLYWOOD, CAL., AT AGE OF 79 YEARS Pioneer Vessel Captain Was Formerly Instructor at School in Norway and was Personal Friend of Henry Ibsen, Noted Dramatist. Was Father of A.M. Johnson of this City Messages have been received by friends of the death at Hollywood, Cal., Sunday of Julius Johnson pioneer resident of this city and father of Andrew M. Johnson at the advanced age of 79 years. Funeral services will be held at Hollywood today and later the body will be brought to this city for interment. Mr. Johnson was one of the early day settlers of Manitowoc and resided here up to a few months ago when with his son he departed to take up his home in California. When he was 14 years old, Mr. Johnson left his native town, Grimstad, Norway to seek his fortune upon the high seas and after serving in the ? capacity he became captain of his ship and sailed many years between European and African ports leading the attendant adventurous life of the navigator of the earlier days. It was at Bergen, Norway where he learned the art of shipbuilding that he became acquainted with Henrik Ibsen, the great dramatist and poet, whose friendship had a lasting influence on his life. Mr. Johnson returned and spent several years as instructor of navigation in the schools of Grimstad where he met Harrelda M? (illegible) of Horten, Norway, whom he married and who in 1885 died at Manitowoc. The young married couple came to Manitowoc in the late sixties and immediately made their home at 909 Huron street, where with their many friends were received. During the early days Mr. Johnson sailed the Great Lakes and many of the old settlers will recall when as captain of the John Schuette he sailed in 1879 from Manitowoc to Gloucester, England, a venture which was then considered of some importance. In 1887 he was married to Regnild Gunderson who after a useful life, died in September, 1911. After Mr. Johnson left the sea life he became a shipbuilder and was later employed at the Burger shipyards. During the past ten years he has lived in retirement and in June last moved to California with his daughter, Mrs. Anna C. Johnson and son, Andrew M. Johnson, who survive him together with Mrs. James L. Moir and Morten S. Johnson of Chicago. It was his hopes that the climate of the west would amellorate the ills which accompanied his advancing years but as that failed he submitted to the divine edict and passed into the valley of the shadow of Death from whence no traveler returns. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Tuesday, February 13, 1917, Page 1 ********* BODY OF CAPT. JULIUS JOHNSON TO REACH CITY ON SATURDAY Body to Be Taken to Frazier Chapel and Funeral Services will be Held Tuesday—Sailed First Schooner Across Ocean The body of the late Capt. Julius Johnson, former resident whose death occurred at Hollingwood, Cal., will reach the city Saturday evening and funeral services will probably be held Tuesday. This message was received from Andrew M. Johnson, son of the deceased who will accompany the body here. The remains will be taken to the C. & H. Frazier chapel from which the funeral will be held. Capt. Johnson who was a resident of this city for many years was a veteran of the Crimean war and was one of the pioneer vessel captains of the lakes and sailed the ocean for many years. Capt. Johnson navigated the first ship which sailed from the Great Lakes direct to England. In 1877 Capt. Johnson commanded the schooner John Schuette which sailed from Green Bay to Gloucester, Eng., with products. It is said that this was the first boat which ever made the trip across the ocean from a lake port up to that time. During the civil war, in 1864, Capt. Johnson saw the Alabama sail out from Cherbourg and engage the Kearsage, his own ship ever heading nearer and nearer the conflict. The sailors manned the rigging and excitedly called to one another as the battle waxed and waned. Capt. Johnson, with his son, left here last December to locate in California.

FREDRIK JORGENSEN CASE HEARD HERE BY INDUSTRIAL BOARD IS SETTLED, $1260 PAID Insurance Company Pay Widow of Late Fred Jorgensen for Death of Husband who Died Year after Injury at Shipyards Plant Settlement has been made by insurance companies carrying risks of the Manitowoc-Shipbuilding company on the claim for compensation filed by Mrs. F.

Mrs. Jorgensen is to receive $1,260 in addition to payments previously made, said to have covered a considerable amount as 65 percent of wages of Mr. Jorgensen while he was disabled. The case presented some rather unusual features, Jorgensen, who was employed by the local shipyards for years, was injured in 1914 by falling from the top of a boiler on which he was at work and suffered injuries that laid him up several months. He recovered however and was able to return to his work (illegible)…was taken ill, his death being due to stomach trouble, it was said. Physicians claimed that the death of Mr. Jorgensen could be traced back to the injuries he had sustained which had made his condition susceptible to the fatal attack and hurried his death. After testimony had been taken at the hearing of the Industrial commission last week, an agreement was made for settlement on the basis of $1260 which was approved by the commission and paid to the family. Mr. Jorgensen was one of the pioneer ship carpenters of the city and had been employed at the local yards for many years. A previous payment of $563 had been made by the company to the family and compensation payments made bring the total to about $3200 for the death of Mr. Jorgensen.

THEODORE JORSCH From Der Nord Westen, 21 Apr. 1904: Another of our county's pioneers is gone. Theodor Jorsch, one of the best known residents of our city, died Mon. morning of Bright's disease. He was ill for several years, but has only been bedridden for the last 10 days. Theodor Jorsch was born 1839 in Luxemburg, thus reaching the age of 65. When he was six his parents came to America and settled in Town Newton, then a wilderness. Here the boy enjoyed all the joys and pressures of pioneer life. When he was older and strong enough he learned wagon making, then carpentry and helped the farmers in Town Newton and the adjoining towns to build their homes. At the outbreak of the Civil War he joined the 14th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment and served 2 yrs. in Company G until he was severely wounded in the hip during the battle of Pittsburg Landing. When healed, he had to be mustered out. Upon returning here he got into port construction and worked on the harbors of Manitowoc, Chicago, Ashland, etc., until he had to give up his work because of kidney disease. Mr. Jorsch was twice married. His first was Rosalie Liebert whom he married in 1865 and who died in 1900, leaving him with 5 children, namely, Mrs. J.C. Rehm in Ashland, Mrs. Frank Heffermann here, Oscar in South Chicago, Theodor in Chicago, and Arthur in Alabama. He later married the widow Mrs. Krumheuer, who survives him.
