Manitowoc Pilot, Thurs., Feb. 7, 1924 ********* 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.

MARY LETITIA MCCAUL Manitowoc Girl Drowns Mary McCaul Found in Lake Body Discovered by Passerby Thursday Mary McCaul, two-year-old daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. Allen McCaul, 608 Park St., was found drowned inside the north-side breakwater just before noon Thursday. Coroner Theodore Teitgen pronounced the young girl dead after she was pulled from the water by Irving Seiler, 305 Chicago St., who saw her floating near the shore. Police Lts. Elmer Scherer and Francis Lallensack questioned dozens of people who failed to identify the girl. Nearly an hour after her death was discovered, the Rev. McCaul and his wife, who had been searching for their daughter, were identified as the parents. It was the only drowning in Manitowoc County during the summer. Seiler said he was making an hourly visit along the breakwater for bait about 11:15 a.m. when he noticed the girl floating, about 30 feet from the shore and 10 feet from the causeway. He pulled the body in with a pole, and notified police. Dr. Teitgen called to the scene at the foot of the pier, said the girl had been dead about a half hour, but no one from that area, at the foot of Chicago Street, could make an identification. Children coming home from school for noon lunch were questioned and viewed the body, but all said they didn’t know her until the parents were found looking for their daughter. Lt. Scherer drove to the McCaul home and brought the parents back to the lake front, where the McCauls, supporting one another as they viewed their daughter’s body, tearfully made the identification. Funeral services for Mary Letitia McCaul will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday at St. Paul Methodist Church with burial in Evergreen Cemetery.

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. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Saturday, August 14, 1915, Page 8 ********* MAN KILLED BY SWITCH ENGINE Earl Saturday morning, Joseph Mac Donald (sic), a boat hand, was killed by a switch engine on the tracks of the C. & N.W. Ry. Co. on the lake front. He had been making the rounds of the saloons here for a day or two and was evidently on his way back to the slip to board the next ferry boat that came in when he fell or lay down on the tracks and went to sleep. His body was seen by the train crew but too late to stop the engine from running over him. A coroners inquest was held Monday morning at which evidence of the train crew and others was taken and the verdict of the jury exonerated the crew from blame. MacDonald has been coming to the city for several years past as a workman on the ferry boats which ply between here and Michigan ports, and has on previous occasions stopped here for a day or two. He has no relatives so far as can be learned. Arrangements have been made to bury the body at the expense of the county.
