MONK, BRIDE OF LESS THAN A YEAR, AT HOSPITAL LAST NIGHT A young life that had known little of the joy of living was claimed by death last evening when Mr. Martin Monk, passed away at the hospital, succumbing to an operation after a brief illness. Mrs. Monk, nee Laura Haltaufderheide, was a bride of less than a year and was but 18 years of age when death summoned her. The oldest of a family of several children, she was early formed by illness of her mother to ? the home and family. Following the death of her mother a year ago, she was married to Mr. Monk and the couple made their home on So. Tenth street. Ten days ago she became ill and was removed to the hospital and an operation was performed from which she failed to rally. Besides her husband she is also survived by her father and seven sisters.

ROBERT MONK Robert Monk Second Man Lost, Not Seen Since he Left His Home to Make His Daily Rounds a Week Ago With only a dollar in the house and no other means of support except a few chickens, Rosie, Tillie and Agnes Monk are left to shift for themselves by the strange disappearance of their father, Robert Monk, who has not been seen since he left home Saturday on his daily round to gather the refuse from saloons and so forth, which he gathered daily for feed for his chickens. No idea of where the father can have gone to is held by the three girls who are left alone in the world and without support. Herman Monk, a brother, who lives in Two Rivers has been seen and it was hoped that the father might have gone there— although he had never before left home to go out of the city without telling his daughters where he was going, but he had not seen anything of his father. Another son was brought to the county asylum from Oshkosh, considered incurable, just a few days ago. This is the second unexplained disappearance in this city recently, Joe Petrosky who disappeared a few weeks ago not having been heard from since. Manitowoc Daily Tribune, Monday, July 26, 1909 ********* MONK'S BODY IN SHEBOYGAN RIVER Manitowoc Man, Missing Since Thursday, Dead in That city WAS DEATH SUICIDE OR DUE TO ACCIDENT? Robert Monk, a Seventh ward man who has been missing from his home since last Tuesday, lost his life in the Sheboygan river in that city, the body having been recovered Tuesday afternoon by Edward and George Kempf, Sheboygan men who discovered it floating in the river. The body was found near the new bridge which is being constructed by Contractor W.E. Pellet of this city, and one theory is that Monk was enroute to apply for work with Mr. Pellet's crew. Monk's body will be brought to this city for burial. Monk left his home early Tuesday morning, July 20 and his absence during the day occasioned no alarm but when he failed to return that night and the next day, the matter was reported to the police with request that an investigation be made. Search in the city failed to reveal a trace of the missing man and Sheboygan and other near by cities were advised of Monk's disappearance and asked to be on the lookout for him. The message from Sheboygan Tuesday afternoon that the body had been found was the first clew to the where-abouts of the missing man. Monk's death is believed to have been due to an accident, this theory being strengthened by the fact that a railway ticket for the return trip from Sheboygan to this city was found upon the body. It is argued that had Monk intended to leave here or to end his life he probably would not have purchased a return ticket. The ticket was stamped July 20, the day that Monk disappeared and it is supposed that he left town shortly after his departure from home. A small sum of money, a brass chip of the Kestley saloon and a few trinkets were found on the body. The coroner at Sheboygan ordered an investigation. Nothing is known by the family as to what may have prompted Mr. Monk to leave home and go to Sheboygan but the fact that he appeared to have been enroute to the camp of Mr. Pellet's workmen, supports the theory that he may have been looking for work. He was 45 years of age and had resided in this city for years. There are three children surviving, his wife having been dead for some time. Jos. Monk, a brother of the dead man, departed for Sheboygan immediately upon receiving news of the finding of the body and as soon as the inquest is held, he will bring the remains here for burial.

PRESBURY WEST MOORE P.W. MOORE, BANKER, PASSES AWAY ILL BUT A FEW DAYS, DEATH IS A GREAT SHOCK Cashier of State Bank of Manitowoc Stricken At Hospital Early Sunday Life's uncertainty was never more forcibly brought home to Manitowoc than Sunday when the annoucement of the death of Presbury W. Moore, cashier of the State Bank of Manitowoc, shocked the community in which he had been a resident for nine years to become one of the foremost business men of the city. Mr. Moore's death occurred at the hospital at 5:30 Sunday morning, less than twenty-four hours after he had been removed to the institution following a severe attack of stomach trouble he suffered three days previously. Although intimate friends knew that Mr. Moore had been suffering from stomach complaint for the past few ????? ???? ??? his condition had at no time caused alarm and he was apparently little affected and seemed in robust health. Wednesday, however, he experienced an acute attack of his trouble and Saturday was removed to the hospital where ulcerations caused hemorrhages which resulted in death. It is probable that had Mr. Moore lived an operation would have been undertaken, but his condition early Sunday morning became alarming and the end came in a short time. Native of Minnesota Mr. Moore was a native of Minnesota, having been born at Herron Lake, that state, July 14, 1886 and being but 43 years of age when death claimed him. He was studious as a youth and after completing his school work, entered a bank for training for a business career in his home state. Later he located a claim in Montana and it was while in that state he married Catherine Miller, the widow who survives him. Returning to Minnesota Mr. Moore after some time in bank work and as cashier of the Mayo clinic at Rochester, was appointed a bank examiner and held that position until 1920 when he resigned to come to Manitowoc as cashier of the State Bank of Manitowoc. With his family he had since made his home here and had surrounded himself with a large circle of admiring friends and as looked upon as one of the substantial and outstanding business men of the city. Active in Civic Affairs During his residence here Mr. Moore had been active in civic affairs as a member of the Rotary club, the Elks, the Knight Templars and other organizations. He was a member of the Boy Scouts Council for several years and was serving in that capacity at time of his death, and his work for the Scouts had been performed with enthusiasm and that came from love of the boys and a desire to promote their welfare. He had given his personal efforts to boys in his own neighborhood and his death has left a void in the hearts of the youngsters who had enjoyed his counsel, companionship and benefactions. Mr. Moore had also taken a great interest in the Salvation Army and was a member of the advisory council of that organization in this county and treasurer of the board. In his business relations Mr. Moore was recognized for his keen insight, his successful administration and his uniform courtesy and was universally esteemed by all with whom he came in contact and who knew him. Home and Family Ties Although busied with his work Mr. Mooore's interest centered in his home and family where he will be sadly missed. He is survived by his wife and two children, West, aged 14 and Priscilla, 12. Funeral services will be held from the home at 1333 Michigan avenue Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock.The servies at the cemtery being in charge of the Masonic order.

SON OF JOHN MOORE ( ____ Moore/d. 24 Oct. 1862/age 8 yrs./son of John Moore/ cause: accidentally shot/from record of St. James Episc. ch., Manitowoc) ******** FATAL ACCIDENT We learn that a painful accident occurred at the Rapids last Sunday, whereby a young lad named Moore lost his life through the criminal carelessness of another boy, some fourteen years of age. According to our informant, several boys were at play, when one taking up a gun, pointed it a little boy saying, "I will shoot you," the little fellow said 'no you wont;' and ran behind the boy Moore. The fellow then pointing at Moore said I will shoot you, at the same time pulling the trigger. It seems there was no cap on the gun, and though the boy knew it was loaded, he thought it would not go off. The whole charge entered the boy's body, and he died at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. When will people learn to put firearms out of the way of children, and when will people have a true sense of the danger there is in carelessly handling a gun as they would a walking stick? Almost every paper we take up, contains an account of a death from carelessness in the use of firearms. Pointing a gun at another, whether it be loaded or not, should be made a crimianl offence, and every case prosecuted to the full extent of the law. In no other way can the practice be stopped.

Mrs. Mueller, who had always enjoyed good physical and mental health, was busy in her garden on Sat. morning, 10 June, and had reentered the house to change her clothes. At that point she suffered a stroke. It must have struck shortly after she entered the house because Bruno Mueller found his mother draped over the wash-basin and had not fallen to the floor. Medical help was sent for but because of her age little was hoped for. She was unconscious and remained so until she died 6 days later on Friday.

HARRIETT MURPHY COMPLICATIONS FOLLOWING FLU ATTACK FATAL Mrs. C.W. Murphy Dies After Long Battle for Life Death claimed Mrs. Clement W. Murphy, nee Harriet Bleser, at the home on So. Eighth street yesterday afternoon, ending an unequal battle of several months for life waged by Mrs. Murphy. Apparently improving from an attack which had undermined her system, Mrs. Muryphy was believed to be assured of restoration to health when she suffered an attack of influenza last fall and complications resulting caused death yesterday. The death of Mr. Murphy will awaken a deep sympathy in the community where she was well known and beloved. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D.B. Bleser and was born here 37 years ago and had always made her home in Manitowoc. At ending the local schools, she graduated from the South Side high school and a few years ago became the bride of Mr. Murphy. Several months ago her health began to fail but hope was entertained for her recovery until she suffered from an attack of inluenza and complications developed. Mrs. Murphy's condition became gradually worse and day by day the effects of the insidious disease was apparent in her growing weakness until death released her. Mrs. Murphy is survived by her husband and baby son, and by her father Daniel B. Bleser, one sister, Mrs. Emil Sixta and two brothers, Daniel C. Bleser and Elmer Bleser. Mrs. Murphy was popular in social circles of the city, in which she was active until health failed, and she possessed attributes that won admiration and devotion of her friends.

MICHAEL H. MURPHY DEATH COMES WITH LITTLE WARNING M.H. MURPHY'S SUDDEN DEMISE GREAT SHOCK TO CITY SATURDAY NIGHT Well Known Business Man Had Been About City During Day in Apparent Health Life's end came suddenly for Michael H. Murphy, well known business man of the city Saturday night when he was stricken almost without warning at his home during the early evening and passed away within a few moments. Mr. Murphy had been about the city as usual Saturday apparently in his usual health and had returned home in the afternoon and spent the evening with his family. Shortly after the evening dinner, he complained of distress and passed away within a short time despite efforts ro relieve him. The news of the death of Mr. Murphy which spread rapidly was a shock to the community of which he had been a resident most of his life and on every side called forth expressions of regret and sympathy. Few men were more widely known in the city and county, Mr. Murphy haveing been identified with the business, civic and political life of the community for a half century. Had Not Been Seriously ill Although Mr. Murphy had not been in robust health for some time, his condition had never been considered alarming and he was about as usual up to the hour the summons came. Saturday he had been down town and visited at the Elks Club where he called daily and had returned home early in (photo) the afternoon but had not complained of illness. Mr. Murphy's death occurred just one year, almost to the day, after that of his brother John Murphy who passed away on March 9, just a day later than the date on which Mr. Murphy was stricken. A Native of Ohio M.H. Murphy was born at Steubenville, Ohio, May 8, 1853, the son of Michael Murphy, and his parents moved to Manitowoc county when he was still a small child, settling at Cato where they acquired a large farm with Peter C. Murphy, a brother of his father, as a neighbor. It was here that Mr. Murphy gained his early education and then decided that he would rather live in the city than on the farm. He came to Manitowoc where he became a farm machinery salesman and later engaged in the farm machinery business. Mr. Murphy early became interested in politics and the fall of 1880 at the age of twenty-six was elected sheriff of Manitowoc county, a position which he held in 1881 and 1882 and then was relected in 1884 to serve during 1885 and 1886. Fearing his youth might count against him in his first campaign Mr. Murphy grew a heavy beard which he continued to wear for many years. He was rated as one of the most efficient officers this county has ever had and drew from Judge Gilson the compliment of being the best sheriff in the circuit which included four counties at that time. Served City In Council Besides serving as sheriff Mr. Murphy on a number of occasions served his ward as alderman and during the Cleveland administration served as deputy collector of internal revenue for this district. He was chairman of the committee which had charge of the erection of the present Eight street bridge back in 1892 and one of his cherished possessions was a letter from Fred Schuette, then mayor, commending him for the manner in which the work was handled. He was one of the organizers of the old Advancement Association and a moving spirit in that body and was also one of the men who helped to organize the Manitowoc Building & Loan Association, which now has grown to be a million dollar concern. Built Seating Works Plant It was in April 1892 that the Manitowoc Manufacturing company plant, then on Franklin street between Eleventh and Twelfth on what is known as the triangle, was burned and Mr. Murphy immediately set to work to reorganize the company and erect a new plant. The new plant was known as the Manitowoc Seating company and just a year after the fire it was in operation and has been in continuous operation ever since without a single shut-down in the thirty-two years. A large force of men have always been employed and the product shipped to all parts of the world. When the plant was first organized it was manufacturing school and church funiture and opera chairs. In 1898 a merger of a number of plants throughout the United States was effected under the name of the American School Furniture company. The local plant was turned over to the exclusive manufacture of church furniture and some of the finest carved work is the ???? ???? turned out here (next sentence unreadable). Mr. Murphy became the general manager of all of the plants of the American School Furniture company and for ten years made his home at Chicago and New York the greater part of the time. He never lost his identity with the local plant and resigned his position as the general manager to return here as manager of the local plant, a position which he continured to hold until about a year ago when he retired and was succeded by his son Clement W. Murphy, who now holds the position as manager. Mr. Murphy however continured his interests and acted in an advisory capacity, having his desk at the local office. He had planned several trips for the summer. Interested in Many Projects. In addition to his interest in the Ameriacan School Furniture company Mr. Murphy organized the Manitowoc Real Estate company in 1891. This company platted Lawndale addition to the city and in 1890 he organized the Manitowoc Land & Salt company which was later changed to the Manitowoc Land & Fuel company which is under the management of his son, Francis X. Murphy. The Murphy Cement Construction company was another of his organizations. He later sold his interest in the company which became the Manitowoc Construction company. Funeral Held Tuesday Mr. Murphy was married in 1878 to Miss Charlotte Flynn of Two Rivers, the family immediately taking up their home in this city where Mrs. Murphy died April 1, 1913. On April 17, 1916 at St. Louis his marriage to Miss Madora Finney occurred and he is survived by his widow and three sons, Francis X., Henry J., and Clement C., the former and later of this city while Henry J. makes his home at Greensborough, North Carolina. Five grandchildren, one sister, Mrs. Mary Brennan of this city and two brothers, Jere and William of Minneapolis, also survive him.
