RICHARD KENDALL PAINE M.D. From Der Nord Westen, 17 Nov. 1904: An extremely well-known citizen of our city has been called by death. On Mon. evening between 9 and 10, Dr. R.K. Paine died of a heart attack. He had felt perfectly well all day and had just returned home at 6 o’clock from visiting a patient. After supper he busied himself around the house with various tasks, and about 9:00 lay down on the sofa to read the newspaper. About 10:00 his wife noticed by his condition that he was dead. Dr. Paine was born 05 Oct. 1841 in Orange, Vermont, and came to Fond du Lac in 1850 with his parents. He got his education there before entering Wayland College in Beaver Dam. In 1864 he entered the 21st Wisconsin Infantry Regiment as a volunteer and served until Nov. of that year when he was released for medical reasons and was sent home. In 1870 he entered Hahnemann College in Chicago where he studied medicine and homeopathic theory. Having completed his studies in 1874 he returned to Manitowoc as a physician where he has lived ever since. On 28 Oct. of that same year he married Miss Elizabeth Patchen with whom he had 2 children. His early death is also mourned by a sister and 2 brothers.

JEROME PALMATER PALMATER, Jerome Age 103. Died Sunday, April 14th at his home in the town of Kossuth. Funeral Tuesday, April 16th at 2 p.m. at the Frazier Mortuary chapel. Rev. C.H. Phipps of the First Presbyterian church will officiate. Burial will be in Evergreen cemetery. The body may be viewed at the Frazier Mortuary chapel from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday. Manitowoc Herald Times, Monday, April 15, 1940 P.16 ******** JEROME PALMATER Persistence....wasn't one of the virtues of Jerome Palmater, who died on the Spencer farm in the town of Kossuth the other day at the age of 103. In 1849, at the age of 12, Jerome started for Green Bay. He stopped at Spencer's overnight. He never left-never even set his foot off the farm for the next 91 years. But even if he didn't have persistence, Jerome had one quality that most of us lack-he didn't allow his goals to blind his love of just plain living. He liked the Spencer farm, and stayed awhile. He knew Green Bay wasn't going to move away. It would be there for him any time he decided to move on. Of course that sort of acquiescence to the present doesn't build railroads or dig harbors or conquer empires, but it does bring enjoyment. It's good, in these days when ambition is the stock in trade of every Tom, Dick and Harry, to see someone who is willing to let others do the world's work while he goes about the day to day business of living.

CONRAD E. PATZER PROF. C.E. PATZER A life-time of activity devoted to the betterment and advancement of educational standards in Wisconsin was brought to a close at Milwaukee yesterday with the sudden, unexpected death of Professor C.E. Patzer. (Photo) From the time he attanded the schools of Two Rivers until he reached an apex of an unusual career against odds seemingly overwhelming, Professor Patzer was an outstanding leader in educational circles of the state and many of the recent reforms in the system of teaching and in the standards of the profession are directly chargeable to him. Largely self-taught, the professor-author was regarded as one of the outstanding authorities among pedagogues of Wisconsin. Outstanding accomplishments in his campaign to raise the standards of the profession of which he was a shining example include his nine years of activity as chairman of the legislative committee of the state teachers' colleges, his championing of the rural normal schools for county teachers and his successful direction of the law creating the county normals and the state education law of 1912. As late as 1930, Mr. Patzer appeared before the Wisconsin legislature to urge the county boards of education succeed to the functions and duties of district boards which he declared to be overlapping and in contra- vention of the state's motto of "Forward." He was a notable authority on rural education and in recent years was an active advocate of reforms in the system of teacher-training at the University of Wisconsin. A contributor to national magazines on educational subjects, Mr. Putzer described the results of his researches in a book entitled "Public Education in Wisconsin" and he was also the author of several text books on methods of instruction. He was a native of Manitowoc county, born in the city of Two Rivers and spending much of his early manhood in Manitowoc county-a county to which he returns in death. He will be buried Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the home of his nephew, Max Rahr, Jr., at 1623 Clark street. Manitowoc Hearld News, Manitowoc, Wis.

EDWARD PATZER DEATH CLAIMS E.C.. PATZER, WELL KNOWN YOUNG MAN AT MILWAUKEE Though Home Was at Milwaukee in Late Years He Has Spent Much Time Here—Was Son of C.E. Patzer, Former Resident Edward C. Patzer, son of Prof. and Mrs. Conrad Patzer of Milwaukee, former residents of this city, died at the home of his parents in Milwaukee, Saturday evening from pneumonia and heart failure, the news received here Sunday coming as a shock to a large circle of friends of the young man, who during the past two years, had spent much of his time in this city. Mr. Patzer left here about a month ago for Milwaukee and had been confined to his bed for only one week, when death came. The body will be brought here and funeral services will be held from the home of William Rahr, Sr., Tuesday afternoon at two o’clock. The local lodge of Elks, of which Mr. Patzer was a member, will attend the service. Mr. Patzer was born in this city 26 years ago, his father being former principal of the First ward school. He was educated in the local schools and removed to Milwaukee with his parents. Later he engaged in the insurance and bond business and during his later residence here the past two years had represented the Northwestern and other insurance companies and the Chicago Bonding company. He was popular in social circles and had a wide acquaintance. Mr. Patzer is survived by his parents at Milwaukee and one sister, Mrs. Castle of Port Washington. His death is believed may be traced to rheumatism which he contracted while serving with Troop A of Milwaukee at Camp Douglas. He enlisted in the cavalry but was later discharged on the grounds of disability. The death of Mr. Patzer will be sincerely mourned by a large circle of friends.

For some time he has been at work near Appleton, and last Friday while walking along the road asked of a passing farmer the privilege of a ride. It was granted him, and he soon seated himself on a board and the farmer drove on. While going on a somewhat rapid rate the wagon struck a stump or stone, and the young man was lifted up from the seat, by the force of the concussion, and came down again with such force as to cause internal injuries which ended in his death.

WALTER PAVLOWICH KILLED AS CAR PLUNGES FROM BRIDGE W. PAVLOWICH MEETS DEATH THIS MORNING Misses Curve at Twenty-first Street Bridge and Plunges to River Bottom Missing the turn at the approach of the Twenty-first street bridge while en route to his home shortly after 3 o'clock this morning, Walter Pavlowich, 40-year-old local soft drink establishment owner, and the father of four children, plunged to his death when his automobile went throught the flimsy protective railing and dropped into the river, about 20 feet below. Death is believed to have been practically instantaneous and may have been caused by the blow which he sustained when the car went into the river or may have been caused by drowning. Frank and Henry Pozorski, South side residents, were fishing at the bridge at the time and summoned police aid and other help but it was nearly an hour before Pavlowich could be removed from his automobile, part of which was above the surface at the time as the water is extremely shallow at the point. In order to remove the man from the car it was necessary to break a window and release him in that manner. Was En Route Home Pavlowich, a resident of Manitowoc for about six years following his removal from Green Bay, was employed at the shipyards prior to his assuming management of the former Wergin establishemnt at 1502 Madison street on July 1 of last year. He had been on duty at his place last night and after closing early this morning was on his way home when the fatal accident occurred. He was driving north and had barely reached the south approach of the bridge when he either failed to remember the curve or did not see it and continued on the straight route to the west. About 20 feet of protective railing was torn away as the car plunged over the side of the bridge to land on its four wheels in the river below. The rear end of the car was above the water and Pavlowich, had he not apparently been knocked unconscious or been killed in the fall, would have been able to save himself by getting into the rear of the car. May Have Died in Fall Presence of a scar on the forehead of Pavlowich led to the belief that the man may have been killed in his fall and did not meet his death by drowning. Authorities who worked to recover the man's body realized that it would be impossible to restore life and the man was declared to be dead when Coroner W.G. Kemper arrived at the scene shortly after four o'clock. No inquest into the cause of death will be conducted by the county authorities as the case was obviously an accident. Born in Kewaunee County Pavlowich was born in Kewaukee county on March 10, 1891 and moved to Manitowoc six yars ago. Immediate survivors include his widow, nee Priscilla Bomski; four children Norbert, Alvin, Clifford and Arnold, all at home; four brothers, Victor in S. Dakota; Wencil, Adam and Jack of Green Bay; a sister, Mrs. Martha Kluceski, Green Bay and his father Michael Pavlowich of Green Bay. Funeral services will be held from the Sacred Heart church Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock after private services at the Shimek and Schwartz Mortuary on N.
