Funeral services will be conducted by the American Legion Post 88 at 2 p.m. Friday at Urbanek and Schlei Funeral Home, Manitowoc. Burial will be in Evergreen Cemetery, Manitowoc. Major Abel was born Aug. 28, 1882, at Manitowoc, son of the late Capt. William and Ida Johnsen Abel. He married the former Alice Bedford Dec. 26, 1907, at Manitowoc. The couple lived its entire life at Manitowoc. She died in 1955. Major Abel served as company commander of Manitowoc's Co. H in the Mexican border campaign of 1916, the same capacity his father had with the company during the Spanish-American War. Following the Mexican action he was promoted to major and served overseas in France with Co. E of Wisconsin's 127th Infantry during World War I. He retired from army life in 1919 after completing 20 years of service and from this time until the outbreak of World War II he served in an official capacity with Goodrich Transit Co. at Manitowoc. During World War II he served as chief of Manitowoc Shipbuilding Inc. protection forces where he had charge of the guard staff.

Friends may call at the funeral home after 3 p.m. Thursday. Manitowoc Herald Times, Wednesday, August 19, 1959 p.21 ********* MAJOR ABEL HOME FROM OVERSEAS SAYS WAR IS ALL SHERMAN SAID AND THEN SOME Local Officers of Opinion That Thousands of Casualties Among the U.S. Boys Have Not Been Reported Was on Firing Line for Several Months “War is all that Sherman said it was and then some.” So declared Maj. Walter Abel, former commander of Company H and commissioned major in the Sixth Wisconsin at the outbreak of the war, when he arrived home from overseas yesterday afternoon. Maj. Abel reached New York a week ago from Brest, France where he had been stationed for several months and was sent to Camp Dix, New Jersey, and granted leave of absence to return to his home in this city. Maj. Abel was accompanied by Capt. Ed. Schmidt, who commanded Company C of Sheboygan and who returned from Camp Dix with him yesterday. Maj. Abel at his home today is getting acquainted with his family from whom he has been separated for eighteen months, the major having left here in August, 1917. He accompanied the Wisconsin group south and later to Camp Merritt and crossed overseas in January last year, sailing from New York on Jan. 31. Passing through England, Maj. Abel was sent to France into the training camps and on May 17 received his first baptism of fire in the Lorraine sector at Toul where his command was in action at the front. Maj. Abel remained on the firing line for several months, participating in a number of the notable battles of the war and fortunately escaping unscathed. “I was pretty lucky,” said the major today as he told of some of the losses which his command had suffered in action. “I was never hit and never gassed and came through without a scratch.” Maj. Abel was disinclined to talk of his service but said that Sherman was surely right when he said that “war is h-ll.” In the opinion of Maj. Abel hundreds of American casualties have not been reported from overseas and it is not improbable that many of the boys believed to be safe and (illegible) the war ended, may be dead and (illegible) Maj. Abel says that every effort was made by commanding officers overseas to check up the casualties but that it was oft times impossible to secure the accurate information and that many casualties have probably occurred which there is no record. Following his service in the Lorraine sector, Maj. Abel was transferred to Brest, France where he has been stationed for the past five months in charge of transportation to the United States and where he was named as commander of the post. The Manitowoc officer said that he had not met many of the Manitowoc boys while overseas and had not encountered Capt. Edward Schmidt, who succeeded him as commander of Company H of this city. He had heard of Schmidt from others, however and said that the captain had won distinction in his service. Maj. Abel crossed the seas attached to the Thirty-second division but was not in action with that division, having been transferred upon his arrival in France to the One Hundred Second infantry with which he served in the Lorraine sector. When the call for Wisconsin troops came, Capt. Abel then commanding Company H of this city, was commissioned a major and assigned to the Sixth regiment, one of the new regiments organized in the state to fill the quota called for from Wisconsin. With his regiment, Maj. Abel was at Camp Douglas and later in the east before his departure for overseas. “I don’t know but what I might be a ‘conscientious objector’ to future wars,” said Maj. Abel today when asked whether he liked the service. No one who has been in the game has a liking for it but of course the boys (illegible) that if the call came again, we’d be just as ready to respond,” he said. The arrival of Maj. Abel was not announced last night and no demonstration was arranged for us would probably have been the ? had it been known that he was to return so soon. On the Leviathan, the steamer on which Maj. Abel returned to the states he met Capt. Lester Kuntz of this city who has been appointed for service in transportation of the United States troops from overseas and who is crossing and re-crossing the ocean on the big transport accompanying the American boys back home. Maj. Abel, previous to his enlistment, was with the Goodrich Transit company in this city. As soon as the major receives his discharge from the service he plans to take a much needed rest and has not determined upon what he will engage in. He is the son of Capt. William Abel, who served with the Wisconsin troops in the Porto Rican campaign. Another Manitowoc man who has been commissioned a major is expected to arrive in the city next week is Major A. ? Nash being scheduled to reach New York on his return next Saturday.

Captain Abel, who has lived a retired life for many years, enjoyed good health up to the time of his death. He made a trip down town late last week to make holiday purchases and had not complained of feeling ill until a few hours before his death.

An Early Guardsman When one of the first militia companies was organized in Manitowoc in the early eighties, known as the Rankin Guards, he was a charter member. Eventually the Rankin Guards became Company H, Second Regiment, Wisconsin National Guard and in 1886 Manitowoc was host to the annual encampment of the regiment, which was held at the fair grounds. Abel rose through the ranks of non-commissioned officers and was first lieutenant of the company when Captain William Brandt retired in 1893. Abel was then chosen captain. Then came the Spanish-American war in 1898. In a few days Company H received orders to proceed to Milwaukee for mobilization with other guard companies from Wisconsin cities. On May 12, 1898 the company was mustered into the United States service and Captain Abel took the company to Chickamauga, Tenn., for two months, then to Charleston, S.C., in July. Captain Abel was stricken with typhoid fever just before the company embarked for Porto Rico in August, and command of the company was taken over by the late Captain Norman Knudson. Captain Abel recovered and returned to Manitowoc. Although he retired from active military life after the war he continued his interest in the militia company here. In civilian life he was a clerk for many years in the Mendlik and Mulholland department stores. Honored at Celebration At the golden jubilee celebration of Company H in 1932, Captain Abel was one of the honored guests. In addition to his Masonic affiliations he was a member of Lawton Post, Spanish-American War Veterans, and the First Presbyterian church.

PAUL L. ADAMS (Note: I have divided this and put the part about each serviceman with his entry in the cemeteries. An entry for Stoeppelman couldn't be found, it's possible he was buried in Illinois where his family was from.) Three Manitowoc Servicemen Are Reported War Casualities War department telegrams from Washington the past 24 hours brought news of the death of two young Manitowoc sericemen, prominent in their school days on athletic teams of Lincoln high school, and confirmation of the death of the husband of a Manitowoc woman. The dead: S/Sgt. Joseph William (Zeke) Zahorik, 21-year-old son of Register of deeds and Mrs. Joseph C. Zahorik, 1011 St. Clair street. Pfc. Paul Adams, 21-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Adams, 955 N. Sixth Street. Pvt. Horace A Stoeppelman, husband of the former Jean Luecke, 1609A S. Tenth street. Sgt. Zahorik, who was a replacement division of Gen. Hodges' First army, was killed in action in Germany on Mar. 4. Little is known about his participation in combat, for "Zeke" as he was familiarly known to his friends, wrote nothing of what he was doing. Pfc. Adams of the U.S.M.C., previously reported as wounded was killed Mar. 2 at Iwo Jima. A letter written by the loacal marine on Feb. 5 to his parents said "he was aboard ship and about to take a ride which should be very interesting. I guess it will be just like a football game at Lincoln and this time we should win. By the time you get this I should be back and resting up, but don't worry about me. I'll be O.K." Adams was one of 11 men in his platoon to get safely across Iwo Jima following landing operation at H-Hour. His field jacket in the pack carried on his back was shot so full of holes it looked like a sieve. Both Adams and Zahorik entered Lincoln high school after attending Woodrow Wilson junior high. Zahorik was on the school's basketball and football squads for three seasons, while Adams played with the football eleven for three years. First Major Battle Pfc. Adams had been in Hawaii preceding going into his first major battle at Iwo with the Fifth Marine division. He was born in Manitowoc on Nov. 2, 1924. In April, 1943 he received his notice to enter services, and took his basic Marine training at San Diego. Later he was stationed at Mare Island and Camp Pendleton.

Ninth street, well known amateur ball player of this city and married only a year, passed away at the Holy Family Hospital at 8 o'clock after an illness of only 4 days.

ELIZABETH MARY ALBEE On the 9th day of January, 1872, in the town of Rockland, County of Manitowoc Wis., Elizabeth Mary, wife of James Albee, at the age of 61 years, nine months, 28 days. These few words announce the death of one of the most esteemed women in this county. Quiet and unassuming in her manner, clear and sincere in her christian profession, during her long residence in this city and county, she was ever found a loving and faithful wife, mother and friend. We sympathize with her family and many friends in this their hour of affliction. Her end on earth is but the beginning of life. The funeral service is to take place at the Presbyterian Church, in this city, on Saturday afternoon at three o'clock.

FREDERICK J. ALBEE DEATH BY DROWNING We have to record a very painful case of death by drowning, which has brought great distress upon one of our most respected families. Fred Albee, aged 18 years, a son of Mr. James Albee, of this place, was drowned on Sunday of last week--Dec. 22d--under peculiarly trying circumstances. His father owns a farm in the town of Cato, on the Manitowoc river, which is not ? but upon which he is watering some cattle that require daily attention. On the Sunday above named, Mr. Albee who had been taking care of the stock, returned to his home in the village and left Fred in charge. Being alone, and without anything to occupy his time, he went on the river and put on his skates, possibly for amusement or with the intention of calling upon some of the neighboring farmers. His father remained in Manitowoc until Christmas, when he returned to the farm, but Fred was missing and he could gain no information respecting him. He found the cattle in their stalls, as he left them, since which they had evidently had no attention. Without knowing what other course to pursue, he went immediately to Fond du Lac, supposing it possible that Fred might have gone there to enlist as a soldier, but gaining no tidings of him there, he returned immediately to the farm, when, with the assistance of his neighbors, an examination of the river was made. They presently found a place which had been broken through and closed over with thin ice. Here they found his hat, and by breaking the ice some twenty feet from this spot, they found his body. Thus, without the knowledge of any one, the unfortunate young man perished. He was the oldest son, was a man in stature, and the constant help and companion of his father. It is truly a sad and crushing event, and one which must cause the deepest sorrow to the family; but terrible as it is, the knowledge of his fate, and the recovery of his remains, must prove a source of alleviation, when contrasted with the uncertainty and suspense, that must have ensued, but for the relief which was so promptly and providentially afforded.

GEORGE H. ALBEE GEORGE ALBEE DIES SUDDENLY Well Known Salesman For Local Concern Suffers Fatal Heart Attack. BODY TO BE BROUGHT TO CITY FOR BURIAL George Albee, of Grand Rapids, Wis., former well known business man of this city and traveling salesman for the Plumb & Nelson Co., died suddenly Tuesday from an attack of heart failure, his death occurring at his home just as he had returned from a trip with intention of taking a week’s rest. News of Mr. Albee’s death was a shock to friends who, while informed that he was not well, had no thought of a serious illness. The body will be brought here for burial. Mr. Albee was at Greenwood Tuesday and from that point communicated with the Plumb & Nelson Co., informing the company officers that he was ill. He was told to return to his home at Grand Rapids and rest for a week in hope that he would recover and it was presumed here that he would do this. Orders taken by Mr. Albee at Greenwood reached the local firm in the morning’s mail and the company has no information relative to Mr. Albee’s death. Mr. Albee, one of the best known grocery salesmen in Wisconsin, was the first traveling salesman sent out by the Plumb & Nelson Co., having been associated with the firm since 1892 at which time he made his initial trip, covering Manitowoc county territory. With exception of a brief period in which he engaged in the commission business in this city, opening a store on York street, he had been with the company since its start and of late years had traveled through the central section of the state, making his headquarters at Grand Rapids. A native of Maine, Mr. Albee was born at St. Stevens and came to the county in youth. As boy and youth he entered the employe of J.E. Plumb, then in the retail grocery business and for nearly forty years he has been associated with the members of the firm heading the house he traveled for at the time of his death. A number of years ago Mr. Albee removed to Missouri where he engaged in the grocery business but remained there only a short time, returning here and resuming his old position. He was 56 years of age and is survived by a widow and one daughter, Bessie. Arrangements have been made to bring the body to this city for burial and it will arrive tomorrow at noon, accompanied by Jule Nelson, who departed for Grand Rapids to assist in transporting the funeral party to the city and the funeral will be held from the railway station. Mr. Albee was widely known in the county and throughout the state and his sudden death will be a shock to friends. Manitowoc Daily Herald, November 18, 1908 P. 1 ********* Death Wednesday last week at his residence in Grand Rapids, Wisconsin, of George Alber(sic), traveling representative for the Plumb Nelson Co. here, and a former resident of our city. The body was brought here for burial.

Johnson officiating. Mr. Albee's death was due to Ptomaine poisoning, and occurred in his home at Grand Rapids. Mr. Albee had partaken of partridge at Rib Lake and upon arrival home was seized with illness. He was resting upon a couch when the fatal attack occurred and died before medical aid could be summoned. Mr. Albee had a wide acquaintance and many friends in the city to whom his death is a shock.
