HENRY F. MANGER Mishicott Jan 30 1871 Ed. Tribue - It becomes our painful duty to record one of those distressing tragedies that are becoming alarmingly prevalent in our own town, as well as all over the country, and which shocked and startled our quiet village on the evening of the 25th inst. in the announcement that Henry F. Manger, one of our citizens had committed suicide by hang [sic] himself in his shop, which, he used as a tannery. This is the third case of suicide in our town since last May. It is the same old story - family troubles mixed with bad whisky. The deceased was a native of Germany and is said, at one time to have been possessed of some means. He had occasionally been heard to say that he would put an end to his existence; but no one supposed that he entertained any serious idea putting into execution such threats.

Manger, a man quite advanced in years, hung himself Wednesday Jan. 25th to a beam in his Tannery in Mishicott because he had been required to enter into bonds to keep the peace for six months, and either would not [ink blot covers next word] could not give the security demanded.

DORA MATHIESEN From Der Nord Westen, 06 June 1907: Death in Two Creeks of Mrs. M. Mathiesen, one of the old settlers of that town, leaving several grown children. The funeral was held Tuesday.
IRA MATHIESEN (The following was sent in by a family member/see contributors page) I was looking through your Manitowoc geneology website and in a section called "Manitowoc Deaths Not in the Cemeteries" I found the name of a relative of mine that I knew - Ira Mathiesen (two of my great great grandmothers were Mathiesens). There was a note requesting information on the individuals. Ira is buried in the Holy Cross II Cemetary in Mishicot. He is in a gravesite with his parents, Agnes and Richard who appeared in your Holy Cross II index. Also buried with him are two of his brothers, Otto, George, a third male I can't remember the name of who from the age must have been another brother, along with his twin sisters Lucy and Anne. Ira, George, Otto, Lucy and Anne all lived on a farm together on Lake Michigan just north of the town of Two Creeks. When I was a kid a highlight of our vacations to Wisconsin was a trip to the Mathiesens' farm to see the cows, pigs and horses. My grandfather, another Ira - Ira Johnson, always made sure we stopped by. Ira Mathiesen was the oldest of the five and never learned to drive a car or a tractor. When he was still working the farm (they got bought out by the nuclear power plants) he still used a team of work horses. He liked to brag that he had the last team of working horses in the county and one of the last in the state. None of the five Mathiesens on the farm ever got married, but another brother who must be buried somewhere else, Earl (I think thats right) moved to town (believe it was Two Rivers) and had lots of kids so there are probably lots of Mathiesen relatives around the county yet. I hope this information proves useful. If you would like any additional information please email me and hopefully I will be able to help you.

FRED MUELLER Wounded Manitowoc Police Officer Dies Manitowoc, Wis.—(Special)— His thigh shattered when he was shot with his own gun in the hand of one of two strangers who attacked him early Sunday, June 12, Policeman Fred Mueller, 30, died as a result of the injuries at Holy Family hospital at 4 p. m., Tuesday. He was the first Manitowoc policeman ever to be fatally injured in the line of duty. Mr. Mueller had submitted to two operations on his leg, and yesterday a third operation was performed. A silver plate was inserted in the shattered thigh bone. A few hours afterward he died, physicians stating it was due to weakened heart action resulting from a loss of blood at the time he was shot, together with the strain on his system caused by the three operations. Suspicious Car Working as a plain clothesman, Mr. Mueller had observed a strange automobile parked on York street near a gasoline filling station early on June 12. Two men were apparently asleep in the car as he passed. About an hour afterward, he returned and the car was still there. When he saw the automobile, a Ford touring car, the second time, he noted that it bore a Wisconsin license plate turned upside down. This increased a suspicion he had earlier formed that something was wrong, and he decided to investigate. Walking closer to the car, he saw a Kansas license plate on the floor behind the front seat. Questions Strangers Arousing the pair from their apparent slumbers, he began to question them. One of the men got out of the automobile for the pretended purpose of "stretching". He walked around the car and behind the officer, Mr. Mueller afterward stated, slugging him on the head with a blunt instrument. The policeman fell to the pavement, and in his dazed condition, he reached for his revolver. He was overpowered by the pair, however, the second getting out of the car after Mr. Mueller had been knocked down, he said. One of the men wrenched the revolver from Mr. Mueller's hand, and shot him in the thigh. Leaving the wounded policeman on the pavement, the men jumped in their automobile and sped away. The officer's moaning and cries for help attracted attention of people in the neighborhood, and he was removed to Holy Family hospital. Killers At Large A description of the strangers was obtained, and was sent to police nnd sheriff's departments throughout the state. A suspect was taken into custody in Milwaukee, but was later released. Up to this time, no trace of the gunmen has been found. The officer said the men were about twenty-six and twenty-seven years old, respectively, and they were both dark complexioned. He declared he believed they planned to rob the filling station. Mr. Mueller was born in Manitowoc, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Mueller. He was married Oct. 28, 1931, to Miss Gertrude Franz, who with his parents, four brothers and five sisters, survive. He became a member of the Manitowoc police department on July 2, 1928. Before that he was employed in the Manitowoc shipyards. Funeral services will be held at St. Paul's Catholic church in Manitowoc Friday morning.
