ALOISIE OBERLAND

Passed From Life.
Mrs. Aloisia Oberland died at her home on Wshington street 
at an early hour this morning. She died while her eyes were 
close in slumber and while the family supposed she was 
enjoying a restful sleep. She had been sick for about two 
weeks but her illness was not thought to be serious. All of 
the children, except Edward, were at home when she died. The 
bursting of a blood vessel in the brain was the cause of her 
death, though the physicians are of opinion that she suffered 
also from paralysis of the heart.
The deceased was born in Bohemia, May 11, 1849. She came to 
America with her husband in 1874. They came directly to this 
city to make their home. Mr. Oberland died about seven years 
ago. Five children survive, Anna, Rose, Amelia, Edward and 
Emanuel. All are residents of this city, though Edward is at 
present attending the university at Madison.
The deceased was a woman of many excellent traits of character 
and was held in high esteem by a large circle of friends and 
acquaintances. She did at all times that which to her seemed 
right and she has passed to the unknown realm leaving a record 
of a life work nobly done. 
The funeral services will be held at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon.

Correspondence of the Sentinel
Manitowoc, Feb. 28-The death of Col. T.G. Olmstead, of this city, 
is deserving to more than the brief telegraphic announcement in 
Wednesday's Daily Sentinel. Deceased was born at Howard, N.Y., 
February 1833, received an academic education and like many of 
his acquaintances,  sought his fortune at the West in early life. 
He settled here about the year 1854, and quietly took his position 
in society as a young man of excellent abilities and attainments, 
liked by all. In politics he was a Democrat, and received at the 
hands of his party many political honors appreciative of their 
estimate of his worth and ability. He was elected and served on or 
more terms as Clerk of the Circuit Court of Manitowoc County, and 
one terms as County Judge. In 1861 he married Miss Liza Cole of 
Kenosha, who survived but four years, and died a loved and loving 
wife. Immediately after President Lincoln's call to 600,000 men, 
deceased was commissioned captain, and empowered to raise a company 
here. This was done principally through his efforts, and mustered 
in as Co. D. 27th Reg't Wis. Vols. Capt. Olmstead was early promoted 
to Major, and later to Lieut-Colonel of the 27th Reg't. In 187? 
deceased purchased a controlling interest in the "Manitowoc Pilot", 
and continued editor and proprietor thereof to his death.
Ten Eyck, (as his friends call him) was favorite with all, generous 
and noble-hearted to a fault, always discharging his official duties 
honestly and faithfully, no stain of dishonor or corruption ever 
attaching to him. He leaves behind an untarnished record as a faithful 
public servant. His charities were never paraded before the public, 
yet no need applicant left him unsatisfied, if within his power to 
help; and many in the silent prayer that will be offered for the 
benefit of the dea??. Funeral services of the deceased were held at 
St. James Church on Wednesday afternoon with a very large attendance.

CHARLES F. OLSON

CHARLES OLSON, 31, MEETS DEATH IN AUTO ACCIDENT
FATALLY BURNED WHEN GAS TANK EXPLODES AS CAR STRUCK FROM BEHIND
Unusual circumstances of the Tragedy Lead to Probe by the District Attorney-
Charles F. Olson, 31, is dead and Harry Wuellner, 26, is a patient at the 
hospital suffering from severe burns inflicted when he attempted to rescue 
Olson who was literally burned alive under the wrecked Ford car in which the 
two were driving when the gas tank exploded after the car had been thrown 
from the road when hit from the rear by another car, the driver of which has 
not been identified. Olson survived his burns four hours, death resulting at 
the hospital where he was removed, at 5:45 this morning.
Circumstances attending the tragedy are being investigated by Distric Atty. 
Charles E. Brady who is seeking to learn the identity of the unknown car which 
is said to have struck the Olson machine and forced it from the road. The 
driver of the car, according to Wuellner, made no move to stop and disappeared 
in the darkness so rapidly that the number could not be secured. Supporting 
Wuellner's statement of the collision from the rear is the fact that the car 
driven by Olson had a crushed left wheel and its fender was torn off.
Clothing Ignited by Oil
The accident happened one-half mile west of the Sogge corner, on a cut over 
road from the Shoto road to the Town Line, about 1 o'clock this morning. Olson 
was driving a Ford touring car owned by Andrew Beck of the Addison hotel by 
whom Olson was employed. According to Wuellner a big car coming from the rear 
struck the Ford in attempting to pass it and the smaller car was overturned 
in the ditch. As the car turned over there was an explosion and the unfortunate 
man, pinned under the car, was literally roasted alive, his clothing having 
been almost completely burned from his body which was a mass of raw flesh when 
Wuellner finally succeeded in freeing him and wrapping him in his coat. Olson 
was unconscious, when taken from under the car.
Started To Carry Olson
After pulling Olson from under the car and wrapping the injured man in his coat 
Wuellner made his way to the Sogge place and telephoned Dr. Luhman of the 
accident requesting the physician to be at the hospital when Olson reached here. 
He returned to the scene of the wrecked machine and had evidentally started to 
carry Olson to the Sogge place when he was overcome and a few moments later Ray 
and Clement Scott and James Dorey found the two on the road. Wuellner asked them 
to take Olson to the hospital and he would follow later. This was done and the 
speeding car, which was halted by Officer Darbant on its way because of its 
speed, was permitted to proceed when the officer learned of its mission.
Wuellner, who today does not recall clearly the incidents when he dispatched his 
injured associate to the hospital, reached the Sogge place in an exhausted 
condition and was brought to the hospital by E. Sogge, proprietor of the Outside 
Inn. Mr. Sogge at the occasion of the first visit of Wuellner to the place, did 
not grasp the seriousness of the accident and Wuellner did not wait long enough 
to secure aid probably believing that he could convey Olson that far without 
help.
At the hospital it was found that Olson's burns were of a character that gave no 
hope of his surviving, every portion of the body having been burned, the flesh 
in many places being completely burned away. Everything possible was done to 
relieve the suffering of Olson but the shock and burns was too much and death 
came a few hours later.
Wuellner Severely Burned
Although at the time Wuellner did not realize it, he was severely burned in his 
efforts to rescue Olson from under the car. At the hospital it was found that 
his left arm to the elbow was a mass of wounds and his face and right arm were 
seriously burned so that he will be confined at the hospital for some time, 
although his condition is not thought dangerous and he may not suffer permanent 
scars.
Olson's Parents Dead
Charles Olson, victim of the tragedy had made his home here most of his life. 
He was 31 years of age and born at Butte, Mont., being a son of the late Charles 
Olson, who for years conducted the Virginia buffet on Commercial street. Both of 
his parents are dead and Olson made his home with an uncle Louis Olson, Commercial 
street. He is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Agnes Kosnick and Mrs. Eva Wilson, 
both of Chicago. Mrs. Wilson recently visited here and Mrs. Olson, aunt of the 
young man, returned to Chicago with her.
Wuellner, who was the companion of Olson when the accident happened, is a son of 
Henry Wuellner. His injuries are not serious and he will be able to be out in a 
few days.
The two young men had spent Sunday evening together and shortly before midnight 
returned to the Addison House and Olson asked Mr. Beck for permission to use the 
latter's Ford touring car, saying that the men were accompanied by two girls whom 
they desired to take home. After leaving the girls the two men drove out the Shoto 
road and were cutting across to the Green Bay road to return to the city when the 
accident happened.
Funeral arrangements for Olson have not been completed, awaiting word from his 
sisters who are expected here this evening.

MADS ORNES

From Der Nord Westen, 22 Aug 1907:
Sudden death during the night from Saturday to Sunday took the life of 
Mads Ornes, a well-known resident of our city. Ornes, who had suffered 
with rheumatism for a long time but did not let it lower his spirits, 
went to bed Saturday evening but was unable to sleep and was still awake 
at midnight. The death must have come shortly thereafter. No one in his 
family had any warning of his passing until they tried to wake him Sunday 
morning. Ornes, who was born in Norway, came to Manitowoc in 1870 and has 
resided here ever since. He was 70 years of age and is survived by his 
sorrowing widow and 4 children. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon.

DEATH CAME WITH NO WARNING
Mads Ornes, Aged Resident of the City, Dies During Night's Sleep.
Death's summons was unexpected and came suddenly and without warning 
to Mads Ornes, one of the city's best known residents, who was found 
dead in bed Sunday morning by members of the family. Mr. Ornes whose 
family home is on N. Tenth street, had retired early Saturday evening 
but had been unable to sleep and at midnight he was awake. Death must 
have occurred sometime after that hour, and was not discovered until 
the family called him for the morning.
Mr. Ornes had been a sufferer from rheumatism for some time and while 
his condition was not serious there has always been the danger that 
the heart might be affected, and this is what resulted and caused 
death. 
Mr. Ornes was a native of Norway and was married there 50 years ago, 
the golden wedding celebration having been held Feb. 19, this year. 
Coming here in 1870. Mr. Ornes was for years engaged as a ship

aged resident of the city who succumbed at the home of her daughter

had been ailing rapidly and the end came today. The members of the 
family had been summoned and several were with her at death. 
First child at Cooperstown
Mrs. Othersoll was the first white child born at Cooperstown, this 
county and moved to this city with the family in her girlhood. She 
lived here ever since and was one of the pioneers who will be 
remembered by the older residents. She was married here and had 
survived her husband nine years. She was married at the early age 
of thirteen.
Decedent was a member of the Episcopal faith and though never actively 
identified with church work was a Christian woman whose character was 
an inspiration to others with whom she came in contact. Five children 
are left to mourn Mrs. Othersoll being: Mrs. Ed Mohr, Frank and Mrs. 
Harry Hampton this city; Mrs. Ava Smith of Antigo.
The funeral will be held from the home of Mrs. Mohr at 2 p.m. on
