JACOB MATEK From Der Nord Westen, 29 Jan. 1899: Death yesterday morning of Jacob Matek after a long illness with the dreaded “strangulation” consumption. He was born in Prussian Poland in 1863 and came to Manitowoc with his parents in 1868. As he was growing up he worked in the Schuette Bros. store and was employed there for 15 years. Later he took over the Delmonico Saloon, sold that and shortly thereafter moved to Milwaukee. He fell sick there and returned to spend his final days here. In addition to his parents he is survived by his widow and three children. The funeral will be held tomorrow morning from St. Boniface Church. ********* LIFE'S JOURNEY O'ER. Jacob Matek Released From all Earthly Suffering at an Early Hour To-day. HAD BEEN ILL OVER A YEAR. For Over Three Months He has Suffered Intensely and Death Was a Messenger of Peace. Death released Jacob Matek from earthly suffering at an early hour this morning at his home, 1205 Hamilton street. For more than three months he has suffered intensely, tossing upon his couch, his body wracked with agonies of pain and life swaying in the balance with the odds in favor of the grim destroyer. But the struggle is over, death has been victorious and one more victim has been added to the long list of those who have joined the silent majority. Jabob (sic) Matek was a young man and his death will cause keen sorrow to many who possessed his acquaintance. For more than fifteen years he was employed as salesman at Schuette Bros.' store and was a faithful and industrious employe. Later he engaged in the grocery business for himself and won many friends by his fair and honorable methods. For a number of years he has not been healthy and about a year ago he was compelled to give up the active pursuits of life and retire. He was afflicted with consumption and during the past three months has been confined to his bed. Deceased was born in the old country in 1863 and came to America when but five years of age. He located in this city where he has since resided. He was married to Miss Bertha Kurth in 1886 and three children, two sons and one daughter, were born to them. The sympathy of the entire community will be extended to the little family in this, their sad hour of affiliction. No recent death in the community has called forth such universal sympathy as that of Jacob Matek. Personally he was a genial, whole souled man, social and jovial; quick to make friends and slow to make enemies. He was a faithful, considerate husband, a kind, generous father, and an upright, honorable and useful citizen. Upon his family the heaviest blow must fall, but his hearty frank manner and genial disposition will be mourned by many who have numbered him among their friends. His life work is o'er. Freed from its withered pain wrecked tenement, his spirit has passed from earthly scenes. Let us beleive that in the world beyond he enjoys the results of a life work well done, and pain and earthly sorrow are forgotten amid the joys of eternal life. The funeral will be held from St. Boniface church Friday morning. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Manitowoc, Wis.

PATRICK MCCARTY RULES ESTATE OF LOCAL MAN GOES TO HOME Vets Home to Secure Property Left by P. McCarty Under a ruling handed down by the state department at Madison, the estate of Patrick McCarty, Manitowoc county man, deceased, will go to the commonwealth as a bequest to the Veterans Home at Waupaca and relatives, of whom a number reside here, will not share in the estate. The ruling was handed down at Madison today in an opinion to Atty. L.W. Ledvine, of the firm of Nash, Nash & Ledvina, representing heirs of McCarty. The opinion holds that the Wisconsin Veterans' home at Waupaca is a "person" when an inmate of the home leaves part of his estate to the "the person I am staying with at the time of my death." the veterans' home, while receiving state aid, is a charitable and benevolent corporation, the opinion, written by Franklin E. Bump, assistant attorny general, held. Estate Value $300 McCarty, a veteran of the civil war, had been cared for at the Veterans Home at Waupaca for some time previous to his death and when his will was opened it was found that his property, said to represent a value of about $300, was bequeathed to the "person" who cares for me at the time of my death. The question was raised whether the veterans home could claim the estate under the terms of the will designating "person" as the beneficiary. The attorney general rules that in such case the home represents a "person" under the law. It is understood that no contest on the estate going to the state will be raised by relatives here.

JOE MCDONALD CORONER'S JURY MAY HOLD N.W. FOR MAN'S DEATH REPORTED THAT LAW VIOLATED BY TRAIN CREW IN NOT HAVING MAN ON CAR WHICH WAS AHEAD OF ENGINE AS TRAIN BACKED Will the Chicago & Northwestern Railway co. and the train crew in charge of the train be held by the coroner's jury as responsible for the death of Joseph MacDonald, the carferry fireman killed at the lake front early this morning when the inquest is held Monday, or will the verdict be "accidental death?" Rumors are current in official circles that the inquest may develop facts of alleged carelessness in the operation of switching trains and that the investigation as to full compliance with the laws by train crews will be an important factor is the inquest. It is claimed that at the time of the accident the engine was pushing a box car ahead of it and that no flagman or brakeman was on the car which may be a violation of the state law. The tracks of the Chicago & Northwestern are not on private property and under the law the company is obligated to take every precaution for protection of the public and if it develops that it failed to do so, there may be censure in the report of the jury, it is said. The fact that the accident in which MacDonald lost his life is the second of the kind within a few months at the lake front yards, has stirred officials to demand a thorough investigation into the accident and speculation is rife as to the result. "The fact that MacDonald was a boat hand, friendless and a stranger is not material and no reason why an inquest should not be held," said Coroner Falge this morning. Mr. Falge admitted that the question of negligence on the part of Northwestern and the train crew would probably be investigated by the jury in connection with the death of MacDonald and said that regardless of the identity of persons injured or killed, it was the duty of the authorities to investigate and for that reason the inquest had been ordered. MacDonald's body will be held pending inquiry as to (illegible) remains are not claimed the body will be buried at county expense. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Saturday, August 14, 1915, Page 1 ********** MAN KILLED BY SWITCHING TRAIN AT LAKE FRONT JOSEPH MAC DONALD, CARFERRY FIRE MAN, TERRIBLY MANGLED WHEN TRAIN PASSES OVER BODY EARLY THIS MORNING Joseph MacDonald, a fireman on the Pere Marquette carferries, was ran down and killed by a switching train in the yards of the Chicago & Northwestern early this morning, the accident happening at the lake front yards, near the plant of the Wisconsin Pea Canners company. MacDonald's body was badly mangled and the man was dead when members of the train crew reached him. MacDonald is 28 years of age and is said to be the son of a wealthy Michigan family. MacDonald was last seen at 11 o'clock and is said to have been sober at that time. The accident happened shortly after 1 o'clock. The unfortunate man is believed to have been on his way to the lake front docks to wait for his boat and had been walking along the track or crossing it at the foot of Quay street when a switching train, which was backing down the track, struck him. The man was dragged a distance of nearly 100 feet before members of the train crew became aware that he had been struck and the train was halted and the body extricated. The wheels of the car had passed over MacDonald's body, crushing the hip and almost severing the left foot. The head on the right side is also badly crushed. From appearance of the body and the manner in which it is mangled the authorities believe that MacDonald may have been sleeping on the track when struck by the train. Segt. Trochlell of the police department reported having seen MacDonald as late as 11:30 and the man is said to have visited the Orpheum saloon on Washington street where he appeared without a hat and was given a cap by Manager Thielen. Nothing was found of the clothing of the dead man except a small bit of lead pencil in one of the pockets of the trousers. There was no money and no papers that would aid in identifying labor by inquiries made among boat men. The switching train was in charge of John Vollendorf as fireman and Engineer DeForest was running the engine. The fatality is the second that has happened in the lake front yards with a short period of four months, another man having been killed on the tracks near the plant of the Northern Produce company, a few weeks ago, the body being found next morning. MacDonald's body was taken in charge by the Urbanek & Wattawa company and will be held while an effort is made by the authorities to locate relatives. Coroner Falge and District Attorney Schmitz ordered an inquest held and a jury was impaneled to view the remains and the inquest will be called Monday morning at 9 o'clock.
