There is an Adolph Stangel b. in 1894 in Calvary, Manitowoc..It's

HUNDREDS PAY LAST TRIBUTE TO F. STANGEL 
Funeral at Tisch Mills Largest Ever Held in Section 
Hundreds of friends from throughout this section of the state, including 
many from this city, attended the funeral of Frank W. Stangel of Tisch 
Mills, held today, the funeral being one of the largest ever known in the 
Eastern section of Wisconsin, it is said. Delegations from Kewaunee, 
Sturgeon Bay, Door, Manitowoc and Brown County were present.  C. J. Stangel 
and family, W. A. Hutchhausen and many others from here attended. 
The death of Mr. Stangel takes from Tisch Mills one of its most prominent 
and progressive citizens. His were the chief efforts which years ago brought 
about the fire fighting equipment in this village, the County Line Telephone, 
and later the establishment of the State Bank and the obtainance of the trunk 
highway through here. As unselfishly as he worked for the public good, he 
also ardently worked for the support of the church and religion of his choice. 
There was no bigotry in his heart; his helping hand was open to all, and no 
call for aid, no matter in what form, was left unanswered. The less fortunate 
received assistance without a call; charity reigned in his heart. 
Refused Public Offices
Interested in politics, Mr. Stangel had many times during his life been called 
upon to run for different public offices to which he never consented. He was, 
however, an officer of the school board and also an officer and trustee of the 
church for years. He filled a vacancy for town chairman but refused to run for 
election and had been notary republic and justice of the peace continuously 
for years. Fraternally, he was a member of the K. of C. Catholic Knights of 
Wisconsin; member and officer of the American Catholic Central Union, and also 
of the Holy Name Society. At the time of his death, he was president of the 
Tisch Mills State Bank and head of the store cheese factory in which he was 
co-partner with his two sons Joseph and Edward. Just before his illness, he 
was named as director of the Wisconsin Southern Railway company but illness 
prevented any action on the offer. 
Surviving Family 
Mr. Stangel married Mary Rezech Jan. 30, 1883. Nine children were born to them, 
eight children and Mrs. Rezech now surviving. They are Joseph and Edward, 
partners in the F.W. Stangel Sons local business; Otto, former athlete at the 
University of Wisconsin, and member of the All Western team, now president of 
an Agricultural college at Farm School, Pennsylvania; Daniel, graduating this 
month in the college of Dentistry, Marquette University; Frank O., Director 
of Physical Education, Oak Park (Ill.) high school, and Mrs. Lucille Jansky 
of Rockwood, Mrs. Sybil Schlies of Tisch Mills, and Mrs. George Spevachek of 
Manitowoc. Two brothers, Joseph J. and John, and six grandchildren also 
survive. 
Funeral services were held from St. Mary’s Catholic church with a solemn 
requiem high mass at which the Rev. Father Shimek was Celebrant and the 
Revs. Rous of Kellnersville, Kubale of Kewaunee, Kolar of Reedsville acted 
as deacons and assistants. Other priests were also present. Fraternal and 
civic organizations with which Mr. Stangel was affiliated attended in bodies. 
The cortege formed at the home of the deceased and marched to the church.

CORTEGE FOR STANGEL OVER HALF MILE LONG 
(By Special Correspondent)
TISCH MILLS, June 4—
In the midst of a bed of flowers that breathed a fragrance of last fond 
remembrance, all that was earthly of the late Frank W. Stangel, head of the 
F. W. Stangel & Sons company was laid to his last resting place at the local 
cemetery yesterday.
During the three days previous hundreds of people from this community and 
near-by cities visited the grief-stricken home where the beloved citizen of 
this community lay in state. Unquestionably, the largest throng that ever 
gathered to pay its last tribute to a citizen was present yesterday. The 
cortege formed at the village at the home of the deceased with the local and 
near-by branches of fraternal organizations’ marching bodies which headed the 
procession; then the concourse moved toward the church. The bell tolled, 
impressing upon the stricken community that its leading citizen was making his 
last march.  As the first line of marchers moved up to the church, the last of 
the line of citizens was still marching from the village a half mile distant.
The church proved much too small to accommodate the large assemblage. Relatives 
and citizens from miles around and representatives and their families of 
business establishments of the cities of Manitowoc, Two Rivers, and Kewaunee, 
formed the assemblage. 
Solemn Requiem Mass
Solemn Requiem High Mass was sung at ten o’clock at the St. Mary’s Catholic 
church, the Rev. Father Shimek, pastor of the local church, officiating as 
celebrant. The Rev. Kubale of Kewaunee was deacon, Father J.G. Rous of 
Kellnersville sub-deacon, and Rev. F. Kolar of Reedsville was in the sanctuary. 
A short eulogy paid to the departed was made in the Bohemian language by Rev. 
Rous, a former pastor of this parish, and similarly Father Shimek, in the 
English language, called attention to the personal attributes of the deceased 
and the ideal c____ than life he led. 
The pall bearer for the Knights of Columbus was Wenzel Tomek; for the Tisch 
Mills State Bank, Anton Olson; for the American Catholic Central Union, Wenzel 
Forst; Holy Name Society, Joseph A. Stangel; and as a schoolmate, Anton Schauer. 
The relatives and friends living more distant, outside of the members of the 
immediate family in attendance were Mr. and Mrs. Gast. Hubert of Menominee, 
Mich.; Prof. and Mrs. J.F. Wojta of Madison; Wenzel Wojta of Reedsville; A. 
Groulik of Racine; Mrs. C. Straka and J. Heinka of Milwaukee and the Messrs. 
Matt Soukup and Joseph Pivonka of Sturgeon Bay.

Frank W. Stangel of Tisch Mills was in the city on one of his periodical business 
trips. For 28 years Mr. Stangel has been postmaster at Tisch Mills. Elections have 
come and gone. First one party would win and then the other, but during the entire 
28 years Mr. Stangel has given such excellent service that none ever thought of 
making a change. Mr. Stangel is not a politician but he is a business man and the 
large mercantile business which he owns attests to his close attention to work and

FRANTISEK STANGEL

? A BRIGHT LIFE
Death’s Cruel Visitation Terminates Promising Career of Frank Stangel
WELL KNOWN YOUNG MAN DEAD
Was Student in Closing Year at Chicago Dental College—
Attended School Here—Body Brought Home Today
Death which came to Frank Stangel, a Manitowoc county boy in Chicago 
Saturday cut short a promising career and brought to a close the bright 
life whose possibilities were just becoming apparent. Deceased was 22 
years of age and was in the closing years of a course at the Chicago 
Dental College, from which institution he was to have graduated in June. 
He was ill but a few days, suffering an attack of typhoid fever and not 
until Friday was his condition considered serious or alarming. Relatives 
here were notified and Saturday morning his father departed for Chicago, 
arriving only to find that his son had passed away an hour previous. 
Frank Stangel was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Wenzel Stangel, of Tisch Mills 
and had spent his entire life in this county. He attended school in the 
city and was later employed in a clerical position by the Chas. Salak Co. 
Two years ago he became a student in dentistry at the Milwaukee Medical 
College and this year had taken up his work at the Chicago college and 
expected to complete the course in June. He was 22 years of age and was 
possessed of a high mind, of studious character and had made rapid 
progress. Energetic and ambitious, his success was certain and his 
untimely death is indeed sad. The body was brought here today and will 
be taken to Tisch Mills for burial tomorrow.

FRANK STANGEL DIES IN CHICAGO
The Young Man was a Native of Tisch Mills
HAD HOSTS OF FRIENDS IN COUNTY
Was Fitting Himself for a Professinonal Life
HIS DEMISE WAS VERY SUDDEN
Father Was Called to His Bedside But Before He Arrived the Young Man Died
Frank Stangel, one of the promising young men of this county, died in Chicago 
and was buried at his home at Tisch Mills yesterday. Mr. Stangel at the time 
of his death was finishing a course in dentistry. He had for several years 
been a student in the Dental department of the Milwaukee Medical College. He 
was 22 years old at the time of his death and would have completed his 
professional course next spring. His death is untimely and is widely deplored. 
It cuts a life off just at the entrance of manhood when the future was glistening 
with promise.
The young man had been in business as a clerk in this city for some years but 
having ambitions he took up the study of dentistry and applied himself with 
great diligence to the work. He was faithful and intelligent and because of 
sterling qualities he became widely known and respected and his success was 
practically assured.
He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Wenzel Stangel at Tisch Mills, who have long been 
residents of that town. Mr. Stangel had always enjoyed robust health but he 
contracted typhoid fever some time ago and it was not until last week that his 
illness took a serious turn. His father was summoned to his bedside but one hour 
before he arrived in Chicago the young man had passed away.

The many friends of Mr. Frank Stangel were shocked and grieved Sunday to hear that 
he had died that morning in Chicago of typhoid fever. Mr. Stangel was for many years 
a clerk in one of our local stores. He possessed many noble traits of character 
which won him many dear and warm friends who regret his untimely taking off.

**********
COUNTY PIONEER IS CALLED
Joseph Stangel Sr., one of the best known early pioneers of Kewaunee County, 
died Thursday at the home of his son, Paul. His demise was due to ailments 
attributed to old age.  Mr.  Stangel, who was in his eighty-eighth year, was 
born in Bohemia on the seventh day of May, 1936. At the age of seventeen in 
1853 he emigrated to  America to see his fortune in a land of promise, the 
splendid opportunities of which had been told to him in his native land. Upon 
his arrival in New York City he determined to come to Wisconsin and accordingly 
set out for Milwaukee, then as now, the larges city in the state. He remained 
at the metropolis for a few years and then came to Kossuth, Manitowoc County 
where he found employment and remained for two or three years. Opportunity 
presenting itself, he took up a homestead after that time at which is now Tisch 
Mills.
In 1857 he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Holub at Kellnersville and 
immediately afterward moved to his homestead and began the tedious task of 
clearing the virgin timberland so that he might profitably follow agricultural 
pursuits. His lot was that of many of the sturdy pioneers who laid the foundation 
for that prosperous community and it was only through energy, industry and good 
management that he became deservedly successful. He later built the County Line 
House at Tisch Mills on the site where the Bank of Tisch Mills is now located. 
He was the first Postmaster at Tisch Mills and conducted the post office in 
connection with his other business activity for five years after which he 
disposed of his property and purchased a farm in the Town of Carlton. He 
afterward sold this farm to his son and purchased another in the same town, 
which he operated for twenty years, enjoying all the while to an eminent degree 
the highest esteem and respect of the entire community.
It was while the family resided on this latter farm that his estimable wife died 
on June 29, 1905 and after that Mr. Stangel retired from active work and made his 
home with his son, Louis until 1922 when the latter moved to this city. He then 
made his home with his son, Paul, in this city where he had been living in quiet 
retirement when death came.
Surviving him are four sons and two daughters, Paul and Louis of this city, John 
of Carlton, Joseph of Two Rivers, Mrs. Joseph (Mary) Jansky of Tisch Mills and Mrs. 
Chas (Josephine) Schleis of West Kewaunee. Several children preceded their father 
in death, fie of them in infancy. He leaves to mourn his death also 30 grandchildren 
and 46 great grandchildren.
Funeral services were held on Thursday morning, Jan. 24 and were conducted by Rev. 
Buale at the house here and by Rev.  Fr. Shimek at the St. Mary's Catholic Church 
at Tisch Mills. Interment was in the church cemetery at Tisch Mills.- (Kewaunee Press)

OTTO A. STANGEL

Otto A. Stangel, Ex-Cager, Dies in Minnesota 
TWO RIVERS—
Otto A. Stangel, 65, a native of Tisch Mills who rose to athletic 
fame as a basketball star at the University of Wisconsin 40 years 
ago, died Thursday at his home in St. Cloud, Minn. 
Funeral services will be held at 9:30 a.m. Monday at the Klein & 
Stangel Inc., Funeral Home, and at the St. Mary Catholic Church, 
Tisch Mills. Burial will be in the church cemetery.
Born in Tisch Mills, March 23, 1889, son of the late Frank and Mary 
Stangel, owners of the F.W. Stangel and Sons Store at Tisch Mills, 
he attended rural schools in the Tisch Mills area and enrolled in 
Washington High School here. He joined the high school five and 
although he had never played the game before quickly made the school 
team. He also played on a city team in Two Rivers. In those early 
days, there were no WIAA rules against playing on other teams outside 
of the high school.
Set Scoring Record
Stangel entered the state university and although only 5 feet 6 inches 
tall, and weighing a mere 143 pounds, he made the freshman basketball 
team and landed a forward berth on the Badger varsity in the 1910-1911 
season. That was in the early years of the reign of the late Doctor 
Walter Meanwell, Wisconsin basketball coach whose teams for years were 
leaders in the Western conference. 
In 1912 Doctor Meanwell had a big year as Wisconsin rode roughshod over 
the Western Conference fives, winning the championship. The Badgers won 
12 straight conference games that season. Stangel dropped in 64 field 
goals and 49 free throws for 177 points, to lead the conference. That 
record stood for 27 years.
That championship year, Stangel was named an all conference forward and 
he was given unstinted praise by newspapers in the conference cities. 
His ability to dribble, elude defensive players and drive in close for 
layup shots made Stangel the scourge of other conference teams that 1912 
season. The crowning achievement of the Badger varsity that 1911-1912 
season was in a game against Indiana in which Wisconsin won 51 to 10. 
He was quick to master the short pass-weaving style of Coach Meanwell. 
In the Iowa game that season Stangel scored 30 of 38 points that the 
Badgers racked up.
Served During War
Following his graduation from the University of Wisconsin, Stangel 
enlisted in the armed services in World War I. He served as a First 
Lieutenant in an artillery unit in Europe. After the war he served
