Friends may call at the funeral home after 2 p.m. Thursday where the Rosary will be recited at 8 p.m. Manitowoc Herald-Times, July 16, 1958 ********* news article: A terrible experience was that of Eli Baugniet of Mishicot who on Tuesday night was for nine hours, pinned under his overturned car on the road from Manitowoc to Mishicot. Baugniet was found shortly before two o'clock by a passing automobilist and saved from probable death from exposure. Baugniet was not severely hurt and due to the fact that he was warmly dressed will probably suffer no severe effects from the long exposure to which he was subjected. The man, whose home is on Rural route E, Two Rivers, will probably be able to be about in a day or two. So far, as discovered, Baugniet's chief injury results from frozen toes on both feet. Baugniet was found by Arthur E. Peterson of Oshkosh, a salesman, who was returning from a trip north sometime after one o'clock. Peterson noted the car in the ditch but seeing no sign of life about the machine proceeded on his way and was a mile from the scene when he determined to return and investigate, this decision being predicated upon an experience of the Oshkosh man a year ago when he found two men and a woman under a car in a ditch at the side of the road near Fond du lac where they had been several hours before he passed the place. When Peterson reached the Baugniet machine and discovered the man under it, he found it impossible to release Baugniet and had to arouse a nearby farmer to assist him. Baugniet was conscious but unable to move because of the position of the car, the steering wheel of which rested across his limbs together with the seat which had been torn off its place as the car turned over when it left the road. According to the statement of Mr. Baugniet, he had been under the car for nine hours. He was returning to Mishicot at the time of the accident which resulted when he leaned over in the car to release the accelerator which had become stuck in some manner. The machine gave a sudden jerk and left the road and turned turtle being almost completely wrecked. Baugneit said that he had not lost consciousness but being hidden under the car, a light delivery truck, he was not seen by passers by and his cries failed to reach them because of the wind. Peterson had heard no cries but because of his previous experience returned to the scene after passing it. Baugniet was taken to the hospital where he revived and was given every attention. Physicians said he had suffered no internal injuries and after a few hours he was able to tell of his experience. That Baugniet did not suffer more seriously from the long exposure to the zero temperatures was due to being warmly clad and to shelter which the body of the car afforded him. Baugniet declared that the happiest moment of his life and the greatest relief he ever experienced was when the two men lifted the car from his body and freed him. Baugniet is about 36 years of age and well known in the northern part of the county. The Reporter, Fri., Dec. 15, 1922

FRED BLECKMAN (d. 1943) Fred Bleckmann(sic), 64, lifelong resident of the town of Saxonburg, died Wednesday evening at the St. Agnes Hospital in Fond du Lac, where he had undergone a major operation a few days ago. Mr. Bleckmann was born Feb. 5, 1879 in Saxonburg and until two months ago resided on the homestead farm. Since that time he made his home with Adolph Tesarik at Stangel's Corners. He sold his farm and retired in September. Mr. Bleckmann never married. Survivors are a step-brother, Edward Hardrath of Saginaw, Mich. Funeral services will be held Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Specht Funeral Home in Mishicot and burial will be in the Mishicot Cemetery. Manitowoc Herald Times, Fri., Nov. 26, 1943 page 2 ********* SUSPECT INCENDIARY IN BIG FIRE Fred Bleckman, Mishicot Farmer is a Heavy Loser By Fire BARN BURNED AND HOME IS UNROOFED Incendiarism is suspected as the cause of a fire which Tuesday night destroyed the barns on the farm of Fred Bleckman, a town of Mishicot farmer, burned the roof from the house, destroyed the season's crops of grain stored in the barn, together with farm machinery, a team of horses and other property to the value of several thousand dollars, the loss from the fire being estimated at from $3500 to $5000. The loss is partly insured in the Mishicott Farmers Mutual Insurance company. Support is given the theory of incendiarism as the cause of the fire by the fact that Mr. Bleckman had not been in the barn where the flames originated for several hours previous to the discovery of the fire and by the further fact that the owner does not smoke and there was no chance spark from a pipe or cigar having started the blaze. One other possible theory is considered in connection with the fire, that of spontaneous combustion from grain or hay but the theory accepted by the owner is that someone set the fire and an investigation is being made. It is possible tramps may have entered the barn and have been responsible. The fire was discovered at 10 o'clock Tuesday night by neighbors who aroused Mr. Bleckman who had retired for the night and aided in an effort to check the flames. The fire had gained so much of a start when discovered that it was impossible to enter the barn to release a team of horses and the animals burned to death. The season's crop of grain was stored in the structure with a considerable quantity of farm machinery, carriages and other property is a total loss, nothing having been saved from the barn. The fire spread to the roof of the house and before the flames could be checked, the roof was completely burned off the building. Bleckman and his neighbors removed the household furniture and devoted their efforts to saving the house from total destruction when it became apparent that the barn could not be saved. The barn was practically a new structure having been completely rebuilt and enlarged only recently and the loss is a serious one. Mr. Bleckman is a bachelor and makes his home with his mother on the farm, retired for the night and had not visited the barn for several hours previous to the discovery of the fire which had enveloped the entire structure when discovered. The belief is strong at Mishicott that the fire was of incendiary origin and the state fire marshal's department will investigate. The Bleckman farm is located one mile east of the village of Mishicot. Early report received said the fire had destroyed the Levenhagen dance hall, saloon and hotel building at Mishicot.

ANTON BRAASCH On Monday a telegram was received reporting the death in Florida of Anton Braasch, Register of Deeds in this county. In Jan. he had gone south for his health. On Mon. evening his body arrived here and was transported on Tues. to his hometown of Mishicott where he was buried on Wed. Der Nord Westen, Feb. 10, 1881 ******* DEATH OF ANTON BRAASCH Anton Braasch, Register of Deeds, died on Friday last at Jacksonville, Florida. He was to leave for home from that place, whither he had gone about one month ago, in the hope that change of climate would improve his failing health. Instead of improving he grew worse and concluded to return. Mr. Braasch was born in Mishicott in February, 1848, so that he was 32 years old at the time of his death. He received a good common school education, and taught school for one year in the village of Mishicott. He held the position of town clerk and justice of the peace for many years. He was elected Register of Deeds for Manitowoc county in the fall of 1879, and on the succeeding January entered into the discharge of the duties of the office. Before he had served nine months his health began to fail and it was apparent that the dread disease, consumption, would coon claim him as a victim. But Mr. Braasch continued to work in his office until physical weakness forced him to discontinue labor of all kinds. In the early part of January he left for Florida in company with his brother, Dr. Simon and Robert Rudolph. He left having but little hope that he would return alive, and when bidding his friends good bye said he thought it would be the final one. Mr. Braasch was a young man of great natural ability and made a model officer. He was painstaking and took pride in doing his duty well. It is seldom that a county officer is as well fitted for the position he holds as Mr. Brasch was. He was a man of exemplary habits and his loss is mourned by all who knew him. His body arrived here on Monday evening and was taken to his father's home at Mishicott. His funeral took place yesterday and was largely attended. Manitowoc Pilot Thursday, February 10, 1881

Hoffman of Mishicott grew worse on Monday though he had begun to improve, and the doctor has doubts of his recovery. Manitowoc Pilot Thursday, January 17, 1895 pg. 3 ******** It is now regarded as quite certain that a tramp brought the disease to the Breider family, so that the town of Mishicott owes its affliction to a lazy vagabond. A tramp had his dinner there some time before any member of the family was taken with the disease. It was learned that this same tramp had been in the town of Two Rivers where the small pox is. The Kugler family in Manitowoc Rapids no doubt contracted the disease in the same way as there is absolutely nothing to the story that infected clothing was purchased by them. But little is known of the prevalence of the disease in Gibson. There is small pox in three families there, - Charles Fee, Rudolph Reich and William Reich. Hoffman, the Mishicott miller, had the disease in very bad shape ad it was feared that he would not recover. He is improving now. Later - Philip Hoffman died last night.

JOHANNE BREIDER (d. 1894) Small Pox has broken out in bad shape in Mishicott on the Neshoto road. A child of Peter Brieder was taken sick with a disease supposed to be chicken pox. The child died and there was a public funeral. During the child's sickness several neighbors visited the house. Soon after Mrs. Breider was taken sick and then a daughter. Dr. Kemper was then called and at once recognized the disease as small pox. Soon after, two boys of the same family were down with the disease. A child of John Wenner a neighbor, is also down. It is thought that the disease has broken out in the family of another neighbor but as yet no report has been made and it is feared that the family are concealing the fact that small pox is in their midst. The Wenner girl, Mrs. Breider and her daughter have the disease in quite a bad form. The two boys have it rather light, but the prospect for the recovery of all is good. All the Two Rivers patients are now convalescent. One, a child of John Messman, had it in its worst form, a case of genuine black small pox. Dr. Kemper had but little hopes of her recovery, but she is coming out all right. Within the last year Dr. Kemper has treated 28 cases of small pox and has but one death, a degree of success unparalleled in the history of the disease.

Herald Times Reporter, March 20, 2007 ********* Two Rivers Girl Goes Under Knife After An Accident Two Rivers - (Special) - Miss Alice Franz, 20, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Franz of Town Mishicot has undergone an amputation of her right arm as a result of injuries received in an accident in this city Wednesday night. The arm was so badly crushed as to necessitate amputation below the elbow. The car in which Miss Franz was riding was driven by Louis Brunner, amateur boxer who has fought several times in Sheboygan rings. Their coupe skidded and overturned near the Recreational park and was completely demolished. Brunner was uninjured. ********* In 1930, Alice Franz lost her right arm when it was amputated after an automobile accident. Since she was naturally right-handed, she needed to learn to use her left hand to perform right hand functions. Alice married Louis Brunner in 1932, and they moved to Sheboygan where they operated a store. After 16 years, they parted ways, and Alice went to Florida for her health at the suggestion of her doctor, but missed the Wisconsin climate and moved back after a year and a half. She found work as a housekeeper and after 10 years purchased a farm home in the Town of Schleswig. Due to health concerns, regular work was out of the question, and she felt the need to do something creative to occupy her time. At the urging of a local shopkeeper, she took an art course in Kiel being taught by Geoffrey Jenkinson, a famous English artist. He taught her to observe art forms, which came to her attention as she walked to the mailbox in the form of tiny flowers and portions of weeds. She did her first painting on the back of a windowshade, because it was less expensive to work with than canvas. Alice created original greeting cards using the flowers and weeds she collected in a basket on her walks, and then dried and pressed between the pages of old mail-order catalogs. She made simple arrangements first on white cards; later the arrangements became more detailed and she used water-color washes on the cards to create moods. A thin sheet of contact plastic protected the plants on the cards form being broken or brushed off. No two cards were the same. She did her major work for two hours in the evening, and needed to rest several hours a day due to a heart condition. Between gathering the plants, creating the cards, and tending her home and garden, Alice painted to relax. The pictures she turned out were those of a talented artist with full use of their facilities, yet she did them with only her left hand. You could purchase her cards for the same price or less of a good commercially printed card, and she exhibited her cards and her paintings at craft shows, in places such as the Wade House in Greenbush. She tackled almost any subject and her exhibited pictures won several awards. Several family members now have her work in their homes.
