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.
