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.

HENRY PROCHAZKA COMMUNITY IS SHOCKED BY A SAD TRAGEDY Henry Prochazka Meets Death at Roxana, Ill. Manitowoc has seldom experienced a greater shock or more sorrowful visitation than came late yesterday in the announcement of the tragic death at Roxana, Ill., of Henry Prochazka, son of Mrs. M. Prochazka, North Ninth street. Mr. Prochzaka's (sic) death was due to injuries received in an explosion at the plant of the Roxana Petroleum company while testing new apparatus which had been installed by the Univeral Oil company with whom he was employed as engineer. Three others were injured in the accident, all of whom are reported in critical condition, among them being C.P. Dubbs, president of the Universal Oil company and inventor of the apparatus of which test was being made. News of the fatality was brought to the family here by Robert Nagel of Milwaukee, a chum and fellow employee of Mr. Prochzaka, to whom the sad task of conveying the message was assigned by his company. Mr. Nagel was not at Roxana but received the news at Chicago, where the company maintains a branch office and immediately came here to convey the news in person rather than send a message, arriving last evening. The body arrived here today on the 1 o'clock train and was taken to the grief stricken home. Details are Lacking Just how the explosion occurred is not known. The company with which Mr. Prochazka was employed is engaged in the extraction of gasoline by patented process, from the residue left after the gasoline has been taken therefrom. In other words, it is a salvage from the remaining waste after the first process of extraction has been completed. Up to a year ago, when the Universal Oil Products corporation conceived the idea of reclaiming more gasoline, the by-products were considered waste material and were used merely as a fuel oil. The newly organized company, however, perfected a process of further extraction by use of high pressure condensation and had only been organized a short time. Up to this time the experiments were considered to be highly successful and the company was about to realize on its investment. There are so many elements of danger connected with the elimination process that until full details are learned a guess can only be hazarded as to what occurred. It is more than probable that some of the condensory apparatus failed to withstand the tremendous strain to which it was subjected under high steam presure and gave way. Planned visit Home The decedent had planned to visit his mother and sisters here during the holidays and the tragedy of his death at this time was accentuated thereby. He recently had received word that he was to be stationed at Chicago and was only to have remained a few days longer at the plant where final experiments were being tried out. He had been with the Universal Oil Products company as an engineer for only a few months and had been making tests of appratus in various cities. Was U.W. Graduate Born in this city August 29, 1890, Mr. Prochazka was 31 years of age. He was a graduate of the schools here and graduated with honors at the University of Wisconsin in 1912 from the mechanical department of the college. Later he was assistant chief engineer at the Madison school and when the war broke out enlisted for service and was assigned to the chemical warfare division with which he served from August 1918 until March, 1919, being stationed near Willoughby, Ohio, at a secret post by the government. Later he returned here and was engaged at Milwaukee with the Traction & Light company of that city until August of the present year when he became associated with the Universal Oil Products company at Alton, Ill, the company also maintaining offices at Chicago. Was Only Son Mr. Prochazka was the only son of Mrs. M. Prochazka and is survived by his mother and two sisters, Misses Adeline and Clara both of this city. The body upon arrival this afternoon was taken to the home and funeral services will be held at Sacret (sic) Heart chruch Friday morning at 10:30, the Rev. W.J. Luby officiating. Services will be attended by Guy Drews post of the American Legion. Deceased was a member of the local lodge of Elks. Pallbearers will be Messrs. Anton Wit, Oscar Richter, Willian (sic) Dueno, Louis Kellner, John Carey and Edwin Ewen. A Beautiful Character To have known Henry Prochazka was a rare privilege. Quiet and reserved, his was an exemplary and upright character that drew a large number of friends, staunch and abiding. Never did a mother have a son in whom she could repose more trust. Never was there a brother more fond of his home association and it was his endearing virtues that made the many occasions of his visit bright spots that were looked forward to in the little family circle. His one regret was that the nature of his work took him away from his home. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the stricken family but there is a sustaining comfort in the thought that this only son reared in a Christian home atmosphere, died as he lived, a moral, upright personification of true manhood.

MARGARET (EWEN) PROCHAZKA DEATH COMES TO CLOSE A USEFUL LIFE Mrs. Prochazka Was Last Survivor of Ewen Family Death came to Mrs. Margaret Prochazka, pioneer resident of the city and the last surviving member of her family-the Ewens-at her home on N. Ninth street at 7:30 this morning, the announcement bringing sorrow to many friends. Mrs. Prochazka had not been in robust health for some time, never having recoverd from effects of an accident in which she suffered a fracture of her hip four years ago but up to ten days ago she had not been seriously ill. During the past week she had failed rapidly and death was not unexpected by the family. Funeral services will be held Monday morning at 9 from Sacred Heart church, the Rev. W.J. Luby officiating, and burial will be at Evergreen cemetery. Born in County Mrs. Prochazka was born at Francis Creek, November 10, 1852, being 71 years of age at her death. When a girl of thirteen she came to the city and made her home with her brother Stanley Ewen until her marriage to Mr. Prochazka in 1882, Mrs. Prochazka having attended the local schools. Mr. Prochazka preceded her in death in 1908 and she is survived by one daughter, Miss Clara and a step daughter, Miss Addie Prochazka. One son Henry Prochazka met death in an accident two years ago, and the shock and sorrow undermined the health of Mrs. Prochazka greatly. Another child died in infancy. Mrs. Prochazka was one of the organizers of the St. Boniface Ladies' Aid society, thirty-five years ago and was active in social affairs of the church up to the time of her accident a few years ago. Life An Inspiration In reviewing the life of the deceased one cannot help but acknowledge the many attributes of character which so endeared her to all who knew her. Up to the very last week of her death she reamined a participant in her church society participating in a semi-social organization, where a few kindred spirits met of an afternoon and spent the time in social intercourse. This was her only recreation in the past year since the injury in a fall deprived her of more active part. Personally her character was inspirational, cheerful and helpful and the influence of her quiet unassuming life will be more telling for good than that of many a person whose name is more widely known. Of her it can truly be said she rounded out a life time as God who designed her place on this earth, had ordained. Manitowoc Herald News, Friday, November 30, 1923 P.2 ********** SOCIETY WILL ATTEND BURIAL AS A BODY St. Ann's society of St. Boniface church of which she was one of the founders, will attend the funeral of the late Mrs. Margaret Prochazka in a body at Sacred Heart church Monday morning.

During late years the society has held its meetings at the home of its members and has frequently met with Mrs. Prochazka who up to her last illness was always greatly interested in the organization.

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.
