EVERGREEN CEMETERY OBITUARIES

HELEN PFEFFER

TWO GIRLS IN CAR ACCIDENT MAY DIE
HELEN PFEFFER, CATO, AND LORETTA NEUSER, FRANCIS CREEK, NEAR DEATH TODAY
Marie Neuser Suffers Fractured Hand and Four Others Bruised 
as Car Leaves Road Hits Pole
Two victims of an automobile accident at Francis Creek last night are today 
battling against death in the hospital in this city with odds all against them. 
Injuries of both are of most serious character and the condition of the two was 
reported critical late this afternoon.
Helen Pfeffer, 22, of Cato, is suffering from a fractured clavicle and broken 
ribs which have penetrated the lining tissues, causing hemorrhages which it is 
feared may be fatal.
Loretta Neuser, 15, of Francis Creek, suffered a fracture of the skull and had 
not regained consciousness at noon and it is feared that she cannot survive.
Third Girl Is Injured
Mattie Neuser, a sister of Loretta, was also injured in the accident which 
resulted when the car left the road and crashed into a telephone pole, bones of 
her hand being broken. She was able to leave the hospital today and return to 
her home.
Four others in the car, which was driven by William Neuser, a brother of two of 
the injured girls, escaped with minor injuries but all were bruised and suffered 
from the shock. The car was not badly damaged and did not turn over.
How Accident Happened
The party, which included Mr. Neuser and his two sisters, a young man employed 
at the Neuser farm and a girl friend, all of Francis Creek and Miss Pfeffer and 
another Cato girl, was en route to Kellnersville at the time the accident occurred. 
The crash came on the road near the Albert Stranstky farm on the Francis creek 
road when Neuser turned out to pass another car and struck a rut in the road. He 
said that the rut caused him to lose control of the machine and it went off the 
road, crashing into the telephone pole but not overturning. According to Mr. Neuser 
his car was traveling at a speed not exceeding 30 miles an hour at the time.
Two Thrown From Car
Miss Pfeffer was thrown from the car, a distance of ten feet and was found 
unconscious. Loretta Neuser was also hurled from her seat and was found a short 
distance from the car with her skull fractured. Others of the party of seven 
extricated themselves from the machine and it was found that Mamie Neuser had 
injured her hand, it being discovered upon examination that bones of the hand 
and fingers had been broken when the hand was jammed as she attempted to save 
herself.
Passing motorists gave first aid to the injured and the three girls were taken to 
the home of Dr. Guttman at Cooperstown where extent of thier injuries was found 
to be serious and they were brought to the hospital in this city. Others of the 
party were able to return to their home but all are suffering from the shock and 
bruises they suffered.
William Neuser, driver of the car, who with his sisters is the son of a widowed 
mother, said today that the accident happened so quickly that he is unable to 
explain it except that when he struck the rut in the road, the wheel was torn 
from his grasp and before he could recover control of the machine it had taken 
the plunge and hit the pole. Neuser was dazed by the crash but recovered and 
directed care of his companions. The accident happened about 9:30 while the young 
people were going from Cato to Kellnersville.
Pfeffer girl From Cato
Miss Pfeffer, one of the girls most seriously injured, is a daughter of Mr. and 
Mrs. Joseph Pfeffer who reside north of Cato and friends of the Neuser family. It 
was impossible today to learn the name of the second Cato girl who was in the car 
and who escaped injury. 
A peculiar fact in connection with the accident is that the car did not turn over 
in the crash against the pole. The serious injury of the two girls is accounted 
for by the fact that they were thrown from the car, the Neuser girl having struck 
her head with force to cause the fracture while the distance and fall of the 
Pfeffer girl caused the fracture of ribs and penetration of the lung tissues.

PFEFFER GIRL SUCCUMBS TO AUTO INJURY
Accident at Francis Creek Claims Cato Girl After Two Days
Helen Johanna Pfeffer, Cato girl who was injured in the crash of the Neuser car 
at Francis Creek Friday night, passed away at the hospital in this city shortly 
after noon today. Miss Pfeffer suffered several fractured ribs which punctured 
the lungs and caused severe hemorrhages. Although she regained consciousness some 
time before the end came, she was able to converse with relatives and friends only 
with the greatest difficulty.
Miss Pfeffer is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Pfeffer, residing near Cato and 
was born theere May 14, 1905. She had been employed at the Goods plant and later 
at the Badger hotel, where she made her home at time of the fatal accident. She 
had made her home in the city for four years past.
Besides her parents she is survived by three brothers Earl and Edgar of Cato and 
Herbert in this city and by one sister Grace at Cato.
Funeral arrangements have not been made. The condition of Loretta Neuser, also 
injured in the accident, is still critical at the hospital where she is receiving 
attention.

OVERSEAS VET DIES IN CITY LAST EVENING
Arnold Pfefferkorn To Be Given Military Funeral As Last Rites Are Held
A final desperate effort to save the life of Arnold Pfefferkorn, wounded 
overseas veteran of the World War, by the resorting to of an operation to 
halt the inroads being made upon his system by a perforating ulcer of the

He was one of the last of the veterans to return and again took up his 
residence in the township in which he was born.
Mr. Pfefferkorn was born on March 27, 1894 and attended the schools of this 
district. On June 16, 1923, he married Miss Anna Roethel of Meeme who with 
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Pfefferkorn, Manitowoc Rapids; one daughter
(private); two sons (private); three brothers, Elmer, Harvey and Lee 
and two sisters, Mrs. Delmar Hansen and Miss Mildred of this city survive.

JOHN FREDERICK PRITCHARD

J.F. Pritchard Retired Doctor Dies on Sunday
Aided Early Transportation Development In City; Funeral Tuesday
Dr. J.F. Pritchard, 89, practicing physician in this city for nearly half a 
century and identified prominently with the early transportation development 
of Manitowoc and utility expansion in nearby cities, died Sunday evening at 
the Holy Family Hospital, where he has been a patient for 10 days.
Removed to the hospital from his home, 540 North Eighth street, when his 
condition became critical Dr. Pritchard rallied for a time but his advanced 
age precluded recovery.
Aided Rail Development
Passing of Dr. Pritchard terminates the career of a pioneer whose efforts 
aided greatly in bringing railroad facilities to Manitowoc and surrounding 
territory.When the Wisconsin Central road sought entrance to the city more 
than 40 years ago Dr. Pritchard took an active part in aiding road officials 
to acquire needed land on the north and west sides.
Eighteen years ago Dr. Pritchard retired from active medical practice and 
also relinquished personal contacts with his business holdings.
Born in Canada
John Frederick Pritchard was born in Norwich, Ontario, Canada in 1846. After 
completion of his common school education he entered Toronto university and 
later enrolled in Rush Medical college, Chicago, from which he was graduated 
in 1869. He located for a time at Oakfield, Wis., and came to this city in 
1872.
On January 1, 1873 Dr. Pritchard married Miss Emily Hill of this city. In 
1933 the couple observed the 60th anniversary of their marriage at their 
home here.
When he located in Manitowoc the Milwaukee Lake Shore and Western road had 
been completed here from Milwaukee. He became chief surgeon on the line and 
when the North Western road absorbed it, continued as division surgeon. Later 
he was also named division surgeon for the Wisconsin Central, when the road 
extended to Manitowoc.
Interested in Utilities
In the closing years of the last century the Central road sought a carferry 
terminal and outlet to the east, through Manitowoc. Dr. Pritchard assisted 
agents of the line in obtaining options on needed real estate. The road, 
later taken over by the Soo line, purchased extensive holdings on the north 
side between Tenth street and the west city limits.
The veteran physician also became interested in building and operation of 
utilities in other cities. For a period of 30 years he with H.F. Whitcomb, 
Milwaukee, was one of the principal owners of the electric and gas utility 
companies in Fond du Lac and Oshkosh. These holdings included the interurban 
line between the two cities.In 1917 Dr. Pritchard sold out his utility 
holdings.
Prominent in Masonic Circles
Dr. Pritchard was prominent in fraternal circles in the city. He joined the 
Masonic order in 1869 and was one of the organizers of 
(continued on page 9)
the Manitowoc Chapter No. 16, Royal Arch Masons. He was head of the chapter 
for 20 years and was also a Knight Templar. He was a member for years of the 
Wisconsin Medical society and served a term as president.
Dr. Pritchard found time to devote to advancement of education. He served 
several terms as a member of the board of Joint School District No. 1, having 
charge of the high school and grades on the north side. He was a member of the 
First Presbyterian church.
Survivors are his widow; three daughters, Mrs. A.L. Nash, city, Mrs. R.H. 
Hubbell, River Forest, Ill., Mrs. D.C. Jones, Appleton; a son, J.F. Pritchard, 
Kansas City, Mo., 11 grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
Private funeral services will be held Tuesday afternoon from the Pritchard 
home on North Eighth street. Interment will be in Evergreen cemetery. Friends 
are requested not to send flowers.

ELIZABETH PROHASZKA

From Der Nord Westen, 13 July 1876:
Death of Mrs. Prohazka, last Saturday, wife of Alderman Prohazka. Burial
was last Monday.
(Note: From cemetery office: Our computer requires a month/date/year format.
The lot owner probably said it was in 1876, so if we know the year but not the 
exact date, we would enter 01/01/1876. So, I would go with the obit since it 
is also in 1876.
Something peculiar. Also buried on that lot (supposedly on the same day 7/10/1876) 
is a Julia Chloupek. The burial register only has buried Mrs. Stupelzky? Friend.
So, if Mrs. Prohaszka was the friend buried on 7/10/1876, then perhaps Julia 
Chloupek was not really buried on that day. Perhaps the records for the two women 
got mixed up. I have a Julia Chloupek buried in section K in 1930, but I'm not sure 
it would be the same one.
There was some connection between the families, because I found this on the site in 
the Edwards Directory: 'Prochazka & Chloupek (Anton Prochazka and Emanuel Chloupek),
machinists, 9th, cor. Chicago"

SYLVESTER QUALMAN   From the Two Rivers Reporter, Monday, February 4, 1946

     FATHER DIES AFTER HE RESCUES 2 CHILDREN FROM BURNING HOME
Sylvester Qualman, 31, Manitowoc, Fatally burned; Oil Stove Exploded

A father's valiant effort to save his home from destruction by fire,
and the lives of his two small daughters, asleep at the time, proved
fatal to Sylvester Qualman, 31, of 3606 Division street, Manitowoc,
Saturday night.
Qualman, seriously burned when he carried an exploding oil stove from
the kitchen into a rear entrance, died Sunday morning at the Holy Family
hospital there at 10 o'clock.
His two daughters, Mary Jane, 6, and Jean, 4, whom he rescued from
their bed and tossed out the window before he himself dived from the
smoke-filled little one-story cottage in the Kadow addition, were not
seriously injured. The oldest sustained a cut foot, suffered from
flying glass.
Wife was Working
Mrs. Qualman was not at home at the time. She is employed on a night
shift in the kitchen at Billy's Cafe.
The home, located about 400 feet west of 35th street, which marks the
west Manitowoc city limits was not seriously damaged except for the 
seared interior of the rooms.
Qualman's call for help brought Christ Miller, who resides a half
block to the west. He found the two Qualman children, wandering around
in their bare feet in the snow in near - zero weather. Mr. Qualman
exhausted and nearly unconcious, was located near the burning home on
his hands and knees in the snow, unable to move.
Taken to the Hospital
Qualman and the two children were moved across the street to the
residence of Viggo Madsen, a brother-in-law and Dr. T.H. Rees and the
city ambulance summoned. The doctor ordered Qualman moved to the hospital.
In the meantime residents of the Kadow addition joined in controlling
the blaze in the home. While some carried water from wells, others moved
most of the furniture from the home. Officer Joseph Michel and Emil
Schultz answered the ambulance call. Later the two squad cars, manned
by Charles Saduske, Anton Glysch and Dan Langankamp, one bringing two
large fire extinguishers, reached the scene.
Under restrictions Manitowoc fire trucks and firemen are not permitted
to answer fire calls outside the city limits. The town of Manitowoc
Rapids has no fire truck.
Mrs. Qualman, summoned home from the restaurant shortly before 11 
o'clock, was driven at once to the hospital. In his moments of 
consciousness, the husband first asked about his 2 daughters and then if 
the home was saved.
Tragic End
The patient was given penicillin and oxygen through the night and 
Sunday morning, but his lungs had been so seared through inhaling the
flames and smoke that he died 12 hours after the fire.
The fire proved a tragic end to a happy family which set up the
little home in the Kadow addition, following the marriage of Mr.
Qualman to Miss Florence Masterlark in 1939. They built the cottage
just before their marriage. Mr. Qualman has been employed for years
in Plant No. 2 of the Aluminum Goods company.
Funeral services for Mr. Qualman will be held at Manitowoc at 1:30
p.m. Tuesday at the Pfeffer funeral home and at two o'clock at the
First German Evangelical Lutheran church, the Rev. L.H. Koeniger
officiating. Burial will be in Evergreen cemetery.
Mr. Qualman, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Qualman, was born in
Manitowoc in 1914 and always resided there. For a number of years he
has been employed as a press operator for the Aluminum Goods company.
He married Miss Florence Masterlark in 1939.
Survivors are his wife, two daughters, Mary Jane and Jean, parents,
a brother, and two sisters.

ANNA QUISTORFF

DIES VISITING AT DAUGHTER'S ILLINOIS HOME
Stroke Believed to Be Cause for Passing of Mrs. August Quistorff
Mrs. Anna Quistorff, wife of August Quistorff of this city, was found 
unconscious in the home of a daughter, Mrs. William Ludtke, at Joliet, 
Ill., Sunday morning by members of that family and was pronounced dead 
a short time later. Mrs. Quistorff was preparing to return to her home 
here after spending two weeks at the Ludtke home. She was in the best 
of health and as far as relatives can determine, a stroke or heart 
failure was the cuase of death. News of the death is received as a 
shock to relatives and friends. Mr. Quistorff despite her 63 years, 
was physically fit, it being supposed that heat for the most part was 
accountable for the death.
Body Arrives Today
The body is expected to arrive this afternoon over the C. and N.W. 
railway in company of Mr. and Mrs. Ludtke. Funeral services will be 
held Wednesday afternoon from the Quistorff home at 832 North Fifth 
street, the Rev. Menke officiating, and burial will take place in 
Evergreen. Mrs. Quistorff was a member of the Maccabees, which 
organization will attend the funeral ceremonies.
Mrs. Quistorff, who was Anna Starr before her marriage to August 
Quistorff at Knowles, Wis., November 27, 1888, was born at Leroy, Wis., 
where she lived to be a young lady, then removing to Milwaukee and after 
the marriage in Ashland where Mr. Quistorff had business interest. The 
home was made at Ashland for 39 years, 7 years ago the family removing to 
Manitowoc where they have since lived.
Many Survivors
Besides her husband, Mrs. Quistorff is survived by four daughters, Mrs. 
William Ludtke of Joliet, Ill, and Amy, Erina, and Loretta, all at home; 
two sons, Charles, of Aurora, Ill, and Otto of Los Angeles; two brothers, 
George of Milwaukee and Louis of Knowles and three sisters, Mrs. Andrew 
Bachhuber of Mayville, Mrs. John Burelbach of Beaver Dam and Mrs. E. Ewald 
of Milwaukee. Two grandchildren also survive.
