MARSHALL SQUIRES SQUIRES FAILS TO RALLY AND DIES SATURDAY One of Saddest Cases In History Of The City Marshall E. Squires, member of the city police force, died at the Holy Family hospital Saturday afternoon at 5:15 without regaining consciousness after having been in a state of coma for six days. The funeral will be held Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock with services at Sacred Heart church, the Rev. W.J. Luby officiating and burial will be at Evergreen. The body is at the Urbanek & Wattawa company chapel. Marshall Squires was born at Stoughton, Wis., July 18, 1891. His mother died when he was three months of age and he was taken to the home of the grandmother, mother of Mrs. Squires, to live. When Marshall reached two years of age the father disappeared and since that date has never been heard from. He continued to make his home with his grandmother and with her moved to Stevens Point, where she still makes her home. Squires gained his education in the public shcools at Steven Point. In 1912 he moved to this city and in 1913 was married to Margaret Weirichs. August 14, 1916 he joined the Manitowoc Police department and has since remained a member of the force. Four years ago he purchased a home on Huron street on the installment plan and everything appeared to be going well with the family. Three babes were born to the couple, a girl and two boys. Series of Misfortunes Then came a series of misfortunes which ended with the death of Squires at the hospital Saturday afternoon after one of the most heroic fights for life ever made by a man. His wife suffered an attack of the flue as the first incident of the series of ill fortune. She recovered but was left in a weakened condition and January 31, 1921 both mother and a new born baby died. Squires, left alone with three small children, tried to conduct his household but finally decided to comply with the dying wish of the wife and took the children to the home of her brother, Henry Wierichs, at Eagle River, where they have since made their home. A year ago last summer Squires was made city speed cop and figured in a number of accidents in making arrests of offenders. On Sunday, October 16 he was returning from a trip in the country when he was given a bad spill in attempting to pass an automobile on the road. He suffered a broken left leg, the break being within a few inches of the hip and while he was at the hospital with his leg in a sling to allow the bone to set he fell victim to an attack of pneumonia. During his delirium the setting of the leg bone was destroyed and for weeks the man lay with his leg in the sling waiting patiently for a new set but the mending was slow becuase of the nature of the break. Then came the attack of appendicitis and the operation and the man in his weakened condition failed to rally from the shock. He lapsed into a state of unconsciousness last Monday and died Saturday afternoon at 5:15 at just about the time that his three children, who had been sent for, were arriving at the station here. It was a sad home coming for them with nothing to break the blow which they had to suffer. Had No Near Relatives Other than the grandmother, Mrs. Arena Coats of Stevens Point, with whom he made his home and who arrived here some days ago to be with her grandson, Squires has no near relatives unless his father is still living somewhere in these United States. No word was ever received from him either directly or indirectly after his disappearance twenty-nine years ago. Only the three orphaned children, Beatrice aged 8, Robert aged 6, and Donald, age 4, survive him to know grief as it is known to but few children. They will return to Eagle River to continue to make their home with their uncle and aunt. Squires was a member of the Modern Woodman lodge but belonged to no other orders. Perform Autopsy Drs. Hammond, Stneck and Donahue perfomed an autopsy on the body of Marshall Squires Saturday evening to verify a diagnosis of meningitis for which the patient had been treated for the past ten days and which developed following the operation for.........

Squires/bur 02-21-1922/cause: meningitis] ******** SUBSCRIPTION FOR SQUIRES FAMILY STARTED Headed by two subscriptions of $50 each, the local campaign to raise a trust fund for the bereaved family of the late Marshall E. Squires was inaugurated today. Local charitable and city organizations are sponsoring the movement to raise a trust fund for the three children ranging from three to nine years of age, and who are at present with an uncle at Eagle River. The latter, who is endeavoring to make a livelihood on a forty-acre entover farm eight miles from Eagle River has no means to support the children, which prompted local public spirited citizens to endeavor to raise a substanital sum. It is proposed to take the money which is subscribed and create a trust fund and appoint a trustee here to have charge of the investment, the interest proceeds of which will be given to the uncle of the children as their legal guardian, to provide means of support and education. There is a universal expression of sympathy in the community which will, no doubt, manifest itself in generous contributions to the fund for the little family, which death, has robbed of parental love and tenderness.

MAX STAEHLE, DR. DR. STAEHLE LOSES BATTLE FOR LIFE CITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT HEAD IS DEAD End Came At the Hospital Last Night After Illness of Only Four Days "Tis the wink of an eye, the draught of a breath From the blossom of health, to paleness of death." Words of the lamented poet were emphasized to Manitowoc in the announcement of the death of Dr. Max Staehle, city health commissioner, at the hospital last night after an illness of less than four days. Late yesterday grave fears were expressed that Dr. Staehle could not survive and at ten o'clock last night the end came. Mrs. Staehle was with her husband as death claimed him. News of the death of Dr. Staehle is keenly felt by the city which he had served for many years as head of its health department and where he had spent practically his entire life. Up to late Saturday afternoon he had been about the city in discharge of his work for (illegible) but had complained of what he thought was an attack of indigestion. A physician summoned that evening diagnosed his condition as due to an attack of appendicitis and later Dr. Staehle was removed to the hospital, but before an operation could be undertaken, the appendix burst and it was impossible to remove it. His condition was reported serious and with the passing days, his battle for life was under a great handicap and last night ended in defeat for him.

He had served as city health officer and later city health commissioner for many years and was recognized for his conscientious service and desire to safeguard public health. He had been under considerable strain the past several weeks in combatting dangers of an epidemic of influenza and it is believed that his condition may have been affected by his work to lessen resistance when the attack came upon him. He received a letter of appreciation from the state board of health only a few days prior to his death for his work in the flu situation. Dr. Staehle had spent most of the years of his life in Manitowoc. Educated in the local schools he followed teaching for a time, here and at Port Washington, and then entered the Milwaukee Medical college and later the Chicago College of Medicine from which he graduated, and then established his practice here. For years he was physican here for the Fraternal Order of Eagles in this city and was interested in civic affairs and took an active part in many organizations. Married on October 15, 1892, to Elizabeth Roemer, he is survived by his widow, by three sisters, Mrs. Caroline Betz, Milwaukee; Mrs. Emma Thies, Chicago and Mrs. Rose Hagen, of this city and by two brothers Frank W. and Joseph. ???? ????? ????? Dr. Staehle was an ardent lover of Nature and the great outdoor and several years ago through his efforts the Ravine Park Association was organized to take ???? property at Rapids as summer homes and more than a dozen cottages now grace the property known as the Klingholz farm, in the heart of one of the most beautiful of scenic spots of this section. Dr. Staehle had given much time to the project and the association. Official Circles Mourn City officials who had been close to Dr. Staehle in his work today voiced high appreciation of his work and character and expressed keen sorrow over his death. The flag at the city hall was at half mast and the flag at the Eagles club and the Elks home was also at half mast, he having been a member of both Orders. School Board Tribute Dr. Staehle, in absence of a regularly appointed physician for the public schools of the city, acted in capacity of ex-officio medical officer for the schools under the Board of Education and for the Board today, City Supt. H.S. Bonar said that the body desired to express its appreciation of the services he had rendered, of the courtesy that had always marked the relationship of Dr. Staehle with the board and to say that at all times, he had given of his time and effort to further the cause of health in the schools, often at sacrifice to himself.

JOSEPH STEPHENSON On Tuesday evening, August 25th, while Mr. Joseph Stephenson and his son George were drawing a load of planed lumber into their yards at the Center, the horse became frightened at an engine, which was standing on the track, and ran away. Mr. Stephenson grabbed the lines from his son thinking that he could stop the horse. He was thrown out and severely injured. In all probability the wheel passed over his abdomen. He received a scalp wound about two and one-half inches in length, over the back part of the head, but this had little or nothing to do in causing his death. The shock and attending collapse were so severe that for a while at least, it seemed as if he would die before the doctor could dress his head. About seven o’clock p.m. he began to rally and at eight o’clock reaction had set in and his general condition appeared more favorable. The exact nature of the internal injuries are unknown, as no post mortem examination was made but there is no doubt but what they caused his death. Mr. Stephenson was a man highly respected in this community and his untimely death sent a thrill through the whole neighborhood. All join in extending sympathy to the bereaved family. Joseph Stephenson was born in Belfast, Ireland, February 3, 1835, and came to America with his parents in 1841 locating in Massachusetts. In 1849 he migrated to Wisconsin and located in Manitowoc County where he remained for a number of years. In 1873 he was married to Miss Emily Dittmar of that city. In 1885 he removed to Gravesville, and during the past year has conducted a lumber yard in this city. Mrs. Stephenson and five children survive him. The funeral occurred on Friday and the remains were interred at Manitowoc. The guests from abroad were Gordon and John Stephenson, Mrs. Jos. Finch, of Liberty; Mr. and Mrs. George Goldie, of Newton, Manitowoc County and Mrs. George Rein, of Sheboygan. Chilton Times, August 28, 1896 ******** [cause: accident]

She had filled the various relations of life, as daughter, wife, mother, sister and friend, and filled them well. But she is gone. Another name is stricken from the roll of our old settlers. Yet in such a death there is really no cause for grief. Her life work was done and well done. The stern Reaper found her, "as a shock of corn fully ripe for the harvest." The funeral was held this morning from St. Boniface church with a Solemn Requiem Mass sung by Monsignor Peil assisted by Fathers Kersten and Letz. Interment was in Evergreen cemetery. *********** Registered No. 166 (no volume no.) 1. Place of Death County of Manitowoc City of Manitowoc 2.
