Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Monday at the Klein & Stangel, Inc.

married Mary LaFleur 70 years ago in Two Rivers. She died in 1942.
When just a boy Antoine Gauthier was employed in the tannery of the old Wisconsin 
Leather co. two miles north of the city, and when he was 18 he entered the United

River Point lights until 1917 when he was retired after 36 years of service. For 
several years later he was an employe of the Hamilton Mfg. Co. here. 
His only immediate survivor is a daughter, Mrs. Stella ???eland of San Francisco, 
Calif. There are also six grandchildren, a number of great grandchildren and one 
great-great grandchild.

Antoine Gauthier, the lighthouse keeper at this point, experienced great difficulty 
last Tuesday in performing his duties. While going to the lighthouse he states he had 
to travel over a bank of ice about thirty feet long which had formed on the platform 
leading to the light. The sea was so strong that it carried big chunks of ice over 
the walk. It usually takes Mr. Gauthier about five minutes to get to his light, but 
on the night of February thirteenth, it took him an hour to get to the end of the pier. 
He informed The REPORTER that if it had not been for the ice around the tower, the 
building would have been blown into the sea. He said it was the worst experience he 
has had in the long years of his service. He has been in the service some twenty years.

nurses, and entire staff of the Aurora Medical Center; and to Jim Schepper of the 
Aurora Visiting Nurses Hospice for all the compassionate care & kindness extended 
to Judi and our family throughout her illness.
Happiness is
Judi with an "I"
Living in each moment
Is what she was about
Expect something to happen
Even a shout
There is one thing
That I know for sure
She created joy
For the people near her
She lived her life
To share it with others
Children, Parents
Sisters and Brother
Judi would always bring in
The church and the zoo
Your dog, cat, critters
And laughter too
Just like a clown
She would make you laugh
The joy that she spread
Was my better half
She could put on
The sad smile of the clown
But inside she was never
Ever really down
Forever a person
Whose smile she would give
To help others, in each moment
Of happiness, live
It is sometimes
So hard to let go
There's still more to Judi
Than we'll ever know
It's the giving of love
By the "I" in Judi
That's what I see
To be her true beauty
It's her gift from God
And her blessings abound
In giving love to every-
One that's around
The bottom line is
We love you so much
Because each of our lives
You truly did touch
Now you're in heaven
With those who have passed
The Lord called for you
And took you so fast
We will all miss you
No matter the weather
But the love that we shared
Brings it all together
Life can be wonderful
I know it'll get better
The sky can be bluer
And the rain can be wetter
Now I see that your part
In the Lord's plan is plain
Love as the Lord
And to love Him the same
It's not a goodbye
For us to say
For we expect to be with you
In a future day
Love, Al

CLARENCE GOEDJEN

Farm Leader Goedjen Dies Monday at 73
Clarence H. Goedjen, 73, of Rt. 1, Two Rivers, a member of one of Manitowoc 
County's earliest and most prominent farm families, now in its fourth generation 
in the Town of Two Rivers, is dead.
Goedjen, who gained state recognition for his agricultural activities in 1953, 
died Monday night at Two Rivers Municipal Hospital. He had been in failing health 
for several months.
The farm, one of the largest in the Two Rivers area, long a showplace, was 
established in the 1850s by his grandfather, a leader in County Board activities 
and an early superintendent of Manitowoc County Hospital. Goedjen had been in 
semi-retirement on the farm now operated by his son, Russell.
Goedjen's Grove, a wooded area on the southeast section of the farm, was long a 
picnic grounds and served the Mirro Aluminum Co. plants here for employe picnics 
over a long period of years.
Born On Farm
Goedjen was born on the homestead farm Feb. 13, 1896, a son of the late Henry 
and Mary Johannes Goedjen. He attended the old Crystal Sprigns District School 
adjoining the Goedjen farm and was graduated from Two Rivers High School with 
the class of 1915. Later, he enrolled in a short course in agriculture at the 
University of Wisconsin, while assisting his father with the farm operations.
The Goedjen farm was established by his grandfather, Henry Goedjen Sr., who was 
brought to the country by the family from Germany in 1856. Located two miles 
north of Two Rivers it comprises 230 acres and became a "Century Farm" in 1956. 
The grandfather served 14 years as chairman of the Manitowoc County Board. He 
also served as county treasurer and served as superintendent of Manitowoc County 
Hospital for a number of years. Clarence Goedjen's late father, Henry Goedjen Jr., 
continued to develop the farm facility into one of the county's finest operations. 
He also served many years on the Selective Service Board of Manitowoc County.
Given State Recognition
Clarence Goedjen received a 1953 Certificate of Recognition at the Wisconsin State 
Fair exposition at Milwaukee for his contribution to better farming, having been 
the choice of the Mishicot Future Farmers chapter. In 1965 he received the 4-H Club 
Junior Leaders Assn. meritorious service award and in 1956, with his late wife, the 
former Wally Galecki, whom he married June 25, 1918, founded the Crystal Springs 
4-H Club. His wife died in 1956.
For two terms Mr. Goedjen was vice president of the Manitowoc County 4-H Leaders 
Assn., Inc., and was chairman of the 40-H Camp committee from 1962 to 1968, during 
the acquisition, construction and development of Camp Tapawingo in the Town of 
Mishicot. A past president of the Manitowoc Farm Bureau, he also headed the Two 
Rivers unit. For many years he served as treasurer of the Crystal Springs School 
District.
Goedjen, long active in conservation circles, constructed in 1927 the first rearing 
pond for trout on his farm for the Manitowoc County Chapter of the Izaak Walton 
League of America. The same facility was leased by the state as a trout rearing pond 
last spring.

grandchild.

Laddie Gonia is reported to be totally blind. He is a young man 18 years of age and up to about two months ago was employed in the Hamilton Manufacturing Company's works. The sight in his left eye faded entirely out almost before he realized that anything was the matter with it, as he suffered no pain, therefrom whatever, and did no stop work until he began to fear that the sight in his right eye might also be lost. About two months ago he went to Milwaukee to have his eyes treated and his friends here received word last week that he had become totally blind.

NEAR DEATH WHEN FURNACE EXPLODES
Superintendent Henry Grover of Aluminum Goods Plant No. 1, had a narrow escape 
from death Monday morning when the furnace in the basement of his new home on 
Washington street, exploded as he was standing before it. The explosion 
completely wrecked the furnace scattering it about the basement in all directions. 
Mr. Grover was hit on the side by one of the pieces and knocked down. It is 
considered remarkable that he was not hit in some vital place by the many flying 
pieces and killed. As it was, his arm was broken so badly between the shoulder 
and the elbow that it was at first thot that amputation would result. It is now 
found this will not be necessary. Mr. Grover wore his overcoat at the time of 
the explosion and this was some protection to him.
He had replenished the fire before breakfast about eight o'clock when ready to 
leave for the factory he went to take another look at the heating coil in the 
garage which was heated from the furnace in the house through pipes. He found 
to his dismay that the system was frozen so that the steam had no chance to 
circulate and fearing a disaster he hastened to the furnace with the purpose 
of putting out the fire in the same and had just reached the furnace door when 
the explosion took place. Mrs. Grover hastened down the stairs and was met by 
Mr. Grover who told her to call assistance. Neighbors soon arrived. The fire in 
the furnace was not scattered about but remained in the fire pot which alone was 
left intact. Aside from dirt and soot scattered about no damage was done to the 
house which is a splendid new residence. Mr. Grover was removed to the hospital. 
He suffers considerable pain from his broken and lacerated arm, but like his 
friends and relatives, he considers himself fortunate to have escaped death in 
the explosion.

EARL HEIDE

Earl Heide Drowns in Bay When Boat Capsizes
2 MEN ESCAPE SIMILAR FATE THIS MORNING
Two Rivers Perch Fishermen In Tragedy at Sturgeon Bay, Bergner Witness
Earl Heide, 35, 1718 S. 12th street, and FERA worker, lost his life by drowning 
in Sturgeon Bay at 8:40 this morning when a skiff in which he was perch fishing 
with two companions capsized.
In the boat with Heide were Harry Muetzel and William Ploor, also FERA workers. 
They were members of the fishing party which also included Alvin Kopetsky and 
John Ruminski. They left here at 2 a.m. today.
The mishap occurred in the bay near the Fuller-Goodman company lumberyard. Members 
of the office force of the lumber company saw the plight of the fishermen in the 
capsized skiff and summoned the coast guard crew. The body of Heide was recovered 
shortly before 9 o'clock and was taken to the Stoneman funeral home where coast 
guard crew applied methods of resuscitation, but with no success. He was pronounced 
dead by the Door county coroner at 10 a.m.
Bergner Was Witness
Elmer Bergner, county motorcycle officer of Manitowoc, was an eye witness of the 
drowning and assisted in the rescue of the two men and recovery of Heide's body. 
Bergner and two friends were fishing along the shore. He said that the boat with 
the three Two Rivers men had reached a point less than 50 feet from shore when the 
high waves filled it with water and sent all three men into the bay.
Bergner said that he endeavored to throw logs to the three men in the water but the 
distance was too great. Ploor clung to the waterlogged boat and Muetzel was able to 
swim to safety but Heide sank from sight.
The body was to be brought back from Sturgeon Bay this afternoon for burial here.
Earl Heide was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Heide, 12th street, and was born in 
this city and spent most of his life here. He is survived by his widow and two 
small children.
Married In City
He was married here on November 7, 1922 to Miss Lura Gehrke, former Marshfield resi-
dent. There are two daughters, Doris, 7, and Darlene, 4.
Besides his wife, children and parents Mr. Heide is survived by a sister, Mrs. Dorothy 
Brost of Chicago, and four brothers, Edwin of Marshfield, Harold of Manitowoc, Silas 
of Los Angeles, California and Wilbur of this city.
Mr. Heide, attended the school here. He was an employe of the Aluminum Goods Manu-
facturing company, Plant No. 1, but had been unemployed since early in 1933. He had 
been working on FERA projects. For a number of years prior to his marriage he lived

Hurst Brothers Are Reunited After 42 Years
GREETING CARD CARRIES FIRST NOTE TO UNCLE
Chance Conversation With a Salesman Leads To Finding of Lost Brother
A conversation with a salesman visiting a local industrial plant 
recently, has brought about a reunion with a long lost brother who 
had not been heard from in 42 years.
He is William Hurst, 65, eldest son of the late Mr. and Mrs. William 
Hurst, who left this city when he was 18 years old. He is now a well 
known hotel keeper at Cairo, Ill.
Several months ago William Hurst, Two Rivers, son of Harry R. Hurst, 
talked with a salesman at Hamilton Manufacturing company. When Hurst's 
name was mentioned the salesman recalled that a William Hurst was 
operating a hotel in Cairo, Ill., and that his daughter was a clerk 
in a bank in that city. The local young man became curious, informing 
the visitor that his family had not known the whereabout of his uncle 
for 42 years.
So William Hurst, III, hurried correspondence to his cousin, Mary Hurst, 
at Cairo, and all events leading up to the William Hurst departure from 
the city jibed perfectly with the daughter giving all details of her 
father's life.
Receive Cards
On Christmas day the brothers, Guy C. Hurst and Harry R. Hurst of this 
city, received greeting cards from their unknown niece, Mary Hurst, with 
the following inscription:
"It is the first time in my life that I had the pleasure of calling any 
one uncle."
Miss Hurst told of the fact that her father was unable to write owing to 
an injured hand, which he received in an accident.
Mr. Hurst left here when he was 18 years old. In his early youth he was 
a fireman on the tug Goldsmith, of the Two Rivers Manufacturing company, 
on which the late George Preston was chief engineer. He went to Chicago 
later and was employed with the Dunham Towing company. Since then the 
family had no word from him. It was learned, however, that the long absent 
brother had been secretary and treasurer of the Missssippi (sic) River 
Steamboat Engineers' association for many years, but his address could 
not be checked. Several years ago his brother Harry visited at Chicago 
and attempted to locate his brother, but the telephone directory showed 
39 William Hursts, of which a number were engineers.
Now the brothers are planning to visit their elder brother at Cairo, Ill. 
There are only four members of the well known local family surviving, 
Guy C. and Harry of this city, Mrs. Wells H. (Hattie) Long of Michigan 
and William at Cairo. The father, the late William Hurst, was one of the 
early city officials of the city and was prominent in the early history 
of Two Rivers.

Car Overturns, Kills 2 Two Rivers Teenagers
Three Occupants of Car Bruised; Inquest Is Slated 
Group Was Returning From Party North of City, Officers Report
TWO RIVERS-With the New Year little more than a day old, a 19-year-old Two 
Rivers boy and his girl companion, 15, were killed instantly at 1 a.m Friday 
when their car overturned on a town road north of the city.
The dead were:
Leland F. Ignera, 1718 20th St., Two Rivers, and

Three other teenage girls who were riding in the back seat of Ignera's 
convertible were slightly bruised when it rolled into the ditch after making 
a turn from Tannery Road.
(snip)
The girls couldn't tell exactly what happened, but from bits of information, 
county traffic officers pieced together the following story:
Ingnera and the four girls were returning from a party north of Two Rivers, 
where they had spent the entire evening. The car had turned from Tannery Road 
to the town road and for some reason skidded off the opposite side into a 
ditch and rolled over.
2 Pinned Under Car
Dr. Teitgen said the bodies of Ignera and Miss Loeser, who was in the front 
seat with the driver, were pinned beneath the wreck. The three other girls 
were apparently thrown clear.
Bruised and shaken, the surviving went to a neighboring farm house and called 
an emergency ambulance, but Dr. Teitgen said indications were that the teenage 
pair had died instantly.

employed as an operator and plumber.
(snip)
Two men and a woman, two of whom said they were employed at the Mon-A-Mi Club, 
formerly the variety club located on Highway 42 between here and Two Rivers, 
were seized shortly after Jindra's body was found. They were held in the county 
jail over night, booked as material witnesses.
Note Is Found
The woman, Ann Downe, 27, tavern hostess, was found in the filtration plant at 
about the time Jindra's body was located. District Attorny Patrick Dewane said 
that a note, in Miss Downe's handwriting, was found among Jindra's clothes in 
a laboratory and office off the main room of the plant. The note read:
"Looked for you-
"Drowned or otherwise-
"Where are you? Looked everywhere-
"Give up"
The men held for questioning were Chester Reinke, 21, and Lloyd Bronson, 22. 
They were picked up by Two Rivers police, according to Chief Jack Rebman, at 
the Mon-A-Mi club some time after the Jindra body was found.
Rebman drove to Madison at 4 a.m. today with samples of Jindra's blood and 
urine to secure a test in the laboratories of Dr. F.L. Koselka, state toxi-
cologist, Dr. Koselka, in a telegram read at the inquest this afternoon, stated 
that his test disclosed 1.?8 milligrams per ??? centimeter of alcohol in the 
blood and 1.59 milligrams in the urine. He said that in his opinion 1.5 millgrams 
in the blood would establish that the man was intoxicated at the time of his 
death. Drs. A.?. Zlatnik and Gerald Rau both testified, however, that 1.28 
milligrams would not, in their opinion, be definite evidence of intoxication.
"That amount of alcohol might have impaired his (Jindra's) reasoning and led 
him to do things he would not ordinarily do" Dr. Rau testified.
In their efforts to dig through the maze of unusual circumstances surrounding 
the death of Jindra, who is married and the father of two small children, 
authorities met with confilicting stories from Miss Downe and Bronson and Reinke. 
District Attorney Dewane said that their stories, essentially, revealed these 
facts:
Stories Differ
The woman and Bronson and Reinke went to Two Rivers in the afternoon. They had 
some drinks at a Two Rivers' tavern and, at about 6 p.m., went to the filtration 
plant. They stayed there awhile, and then returned to the tavern located near 
the filtration plant. Miss Downe claims Jindra accompanied them, while the men 
said he stayed at the plant. At about 7:15 they all returned to the plant. After 
a few minutes Bronson and Reinke left and drove to the Mon-A-Mi club. There is 
only Miss Downe's rather incomplete story to rely upon for what happened after 
that. She said, according to Dewane,
(Cont. on Page 15, Col. 7) MYSTERY VEILS DEATH OF MAN IN TANK (Cont. from Page 1)
that they all returned to the plant before 7. Jindra, she said, spoke of "going 
swimming" in the tank. After a few minutes she asked to be directed to the wash 
room. She was gone for several minutes, she said, and when she returned Jindra 
was missing. She found his clothes in the office. Waiting around for a few 
minutes, she said, she decided that Jindra had put on his street clothes and 
gone home. She wrote the note, placed in with his clothes, and left the building. 
From the filtration plant she returned to the Two Rivers tavern, where she asked 
the bartender and several other men if they had seen Jindra. When she found no 
trace of him, she returned to the plant with a man she referred to only as "Ray. 
"They located Jindra's body in the tank. At about the same time a city council 
committee arrived at the plant, where it was to hold a meeting.
Jindra, according to police, was nude except for a pair of socks when his body 
was found.
The tank in which he was found is surrounded by a high fence, which, authorities 
said, made it unlikely that Jindra could have fallen into the tank accidentally. 
The water is kept at 34 degrees, just a few degrees above freezing, and 
authorities think it unlikely that Jindra would have tried to swim in it.
Jindra had been employed at the plant since 1935, when it was put in operation. 
He is a past commander of the Eleven Gold Star post of the Two Rivers Veterans 
of Foreign Wars.
(snip)
Full military services will be given Jindra by the Veterans post on Saturday 
afternoon. Services, which will be private, attended only by the family and 
veterans, will be held at 2:15 p.m. Saturday from the Klein and Stangel, Inc., 
funeral home.
Walter Calvin Jindra was born in the city of Two Rivers on Nov. 24, 1895, a son 
of Mr. and Mrs. George Jindra Sr. When he was a small child his parents moved 
to the town of Mishicot and Walter was brought up there.
As a youth he moved to Two Rivers again and obtained employement there, taking 
up the plumbing business. He helped install the plumbing in the filtration plant 
and previous to its opening took the examination for operator of the plant. He 
was picked at the time as plumber for the plant and assistant operator.
Mr. Jindra spend most of his adult life in Two Rivers with the exception of the 
period when he served overseas with the American Expeditionary Forces in the World 
war. He had been active in the affairs of the VFW ever since its formation here 
and served one term as commander of the post. This was a long term as the time of 
election was changed to ???? thus allowing him to serve all of 1937 and part of 1938.
On Sept. 27, 1922 he married Miss Vera Last of the town of Two Creeks. She survives 
with two children, Carol, 14, and Richard, 10. Other survivors are his parents, Mr. 
and Mrs. George Jindra Sr.; four brothers, George Jr., Reuben and Oscar of this city, 
and Alvin of Mishicot; and three sisters, Mrs. Herman Stoer, city, Mrs. Edward Zell 
of Mishicot, and Miss Hilda Jindra of Gary, Ind.
The body was taken to the Klein & Stangel, Inc., funeral home where it may be viewed 
from this evening to the time of the funeral Saturday.

DEATH PROBE IS CONTINUED
Autopsy Performed on Body of Walter Jindra
Two Rivers police continued their investigation of the filter tank death of Walter 
Jindra today as they awaited the report on an autopsy performed on Jindra' body last 
night.
The autopsy was performed by Dr. L.J. Van Heke, Milwaukee pathologist, called by the 
city to determine the cause of Jindra's death.
Family Present
Dr. Gerald Rau, county coroner, was present at the autopsy. Dr. Rau said this morning 
that he could say nothing about the findings until the report is completed.
"To say anything now," he said, "would be to anticipate Dr. Van Heke's report."
Jindra's family was present when the autopsy was conducted.

BIG FARM FIRE
Fire destroyed all the buildings, except the residence upon the farm of Emil Jonas 
north of Two Rivers last week. The direction of the wind saved the residence. 
Before discovery, the fire had such a start that it was impossible to save any 
of the livestock,, machinery or the season's crop. The loss is about $12,000 with 
partial insurance. Volunteer fire fighters had to confine their efforts to ensuring 
the safety of the farm house. The origin of the fire is a mystery.
